Seeing the explanation in parentheses, Xia Qi couldn't help laughing, it seems that Xiaoguangren has also learned to be lazy.

But he didn't expect that for the arrival of a new batch of players for a while, Xiaoguangren was already busy.

To tell the truth, the army of the Xia tribe occupies one-sixth of the total number of people, this proportion is indeed a bit exaggerated, in ancient China, it was a reckless army, and it would be scolded as a tyrant by the people of the world.

That is, in this primitive society where all the people are soldiers, but Xia Qi no longer plans to expand the army in a short time, the proportion of this army is just right, if there are more, I am afraid that the tribe will not be able to call it.

If the number of troops is really insufficient in wartime, Xia Qi can use these 500 people as the backbone to expand the size of the army, which Xia Qi learned from the rulers of ancient China.

In ancient times, there was an army stationed in the imperial city all the year round, they were not many in number, but they were well-trained and luxuriously equipped, once the world changed, the emperor would expand this army, with the original people as the backbone, and in an instant an army with amazing combat effectiveness could be formed.

"I think Lao Tzu's team was only opened, and there were only a dozen people in total......"

Looking at the well-organized and thriving tribe, Xia Qi couldn't stop humming.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch, where are you going?"

"Patriarch, you ......"

On the way, no matter who it was, no matter what they were doing at the time, they would stop and say hello to Xia Qi.

"Okay, okay, you're all right."

Looking at the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, Xia Qi couldn't help but feel good.

Later, Xia Qi came to Pan's residence, which was clean and tidy, and everything was neatly arranged, and it didn't look like a rough man's residence at all. As for Xia Qi, as the patriarch of the clan, it's not too much to find two girls to tidy up the room for him, right?

It's just that Pan wasn't inside, and after asking someone, Xia Qi knew that Pan was now patrolling the camp wall.

Pan is not ordinary busy now, in addition to being responsible for the city defense accidents of the Xia tribe, he is also responsible for transactions with the Qingyan tribe, as well as a series of chores, just like the big butler of the Xia tribe.

There is no way, who made the entire Xia tribe except for Xia Qi to do things safely, and also have experience in managing the tribe?

Pan, who was about to leave after inspecting the city defense, bumped into Xia Qi head-on, and his heart was directly stunned. Especially looking at Xia Qi's smiling face, he always had an ominous premonition.

But he thought so, but he still greeted it.

"Patriarch."

When Xia Qi saw Pan, he immediately said, "It just so happens that I have something to look for you." ”

Panxin said: I'd rather you didn't come to me.

A sincere smile appeared on Pan's face, and he said, "Patriarch, you say. ”

"That's right." Xia Qi nodded and said to Pan: "Our tribe has almost reached saturation, but there are still many tribes outside who want to join, so we have to think of a way." ”

Pan waited for Xia Qi to finish speaking, and asked very respectfully, "Then according to the meaning of the patriarch?" ”

"I thought, if the tribe wants to expand, population is the top priority, and this person has been sent to the door, how can we refuse? But you also know that there is no room to live inside the camp walls, but it is not safe for the newcomers to live outside the camp walls, and the difference in treatment will make the newcomers resentful in their hearts, which is not conducive to the development of the tribe. ”

After a pause, Xia Qi continued: "I mean, build a larger wall outside the camp wall, so as to form the structure of the inner and outer walls, and then you can also transfer the livestock area and military camp to the outer city. ”

Just build another camp wall, that's fine.

Hearing that the patriarch of the Zi family just wanted to build a camp wall, Pan's heart was relieved at first, but when he thought of what Xia Qi had done in the past, he always felt that things were not so simple.

I saw Xia Qi take out a piece of animal skin from his arms and began to write and draw on it, obviously prepared.

Xia Qi held a quill pen in his hand, drew a few times on the animal skin, and then re-dipped some dark green juice in a small box.

This juice was found by Wu Yi by accident, and it can be colored well on the hide, and it is not easy to fade.

Xia Qi said while painting: "I think that since it has been built, it must be built. For the time being, the width of the city wall is limited to the fact that it can accommodate two war horses to run, and the foundation of the city wall is based on rocks, and there is not a kind of clay with excellent stickiness found on the pottery side, so use that as the binder......"

Xia Qi frowned and shook the quill a few times, and suddenly missed Lan Xing's various writing instruments

Pan on one side is stupid, knowing that this is a big project, but this is inevitably too big, right?

According to the original camp of the Xia tribe on the drawing, when the new city wall is completed, the camp of the Xia tribe will be expanded by at least ten times.

Pan asked stupidly, "Patriarch, there are not so many rocks near our tribe, and our tribe can't draw such people. ”

The project made by Xia Qi is at least a thousand people, plus it is still winter, the land is frozen hard as iron, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the tribe, with the current population of the Xia tribe, to be honest, it is a little stretched.

It doesn't matter if Xia Qi is happy, or it's wishful thinking, anyway, that's the case.

Before, I thought that the Xia tribe had a population of 3,000, which was already a lot, but now it seems that it is just like that, and it is not as many as a slightly larger town in later generations.

Hearing Pan's complaints, Xia Qi said: "I have already thought about these worries of yours, there are no rocks, and you can trade with the Qingyan tribe." Didn't you say they wanted to trade the plough with us? Split half of our newly made climbing plough and trade it with them. The price of each climbing plow is not less than fifty baskets of rocks, and there is no upper limit at the maximum. In addition, each rock must not be smaller than the size of a human head. ”

"Yes." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Pan first responded in a low voice, and then said, "But Patriarch, with the population of our tribe, it is not enough to support such a huge project." ”

Xia Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said I was going to use people from our tribe?" ”

"Ah, what does the patriarch mean?" Pan couldn't keep up with Xia Qi's rhythm.

But that's right, as a primitive person, he has not gone through the big information age, it is really difficult for him to figure out what Xia Qi is thinking.

"Aren't there a lot of people out there who want to join the tribe? We'll be able to use these people soon. ”

In order to survive the winter, Xia Qi began to prepare a long time ago. Eventually, the well-prepared Xia tribe was able to survive the cold winter well.

There is a good saying, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and this sentence can also be used on the Xia tribe.

This winter is much colder than ever, just into the winter, the snow does not stop, not only nearby, the further north the weather is getting worse. The tribes from the north began to migrate southward on a large scale, but were eventually blocked by the Great Xia Lake and the Great River. It was also in this winter that the Xia tribe ushered in explosive growth.

Originally, according to Xia Qi's estimate, the camp wall they built could be used for a long time, but they didn't expect that in less than a winter, the camp wall would be overcrowded.

There was no way, Xia Qi had no choice but to stop recruiting people.

But this was not the solution, and as the number of foreign tribes grew, the outside of the camp became more and more chaotic, often clashing over a bite of food. Although it has not affected his own tribe for the time being, Xia Qi believes that if these tribes are left alone, it will inevitably affect the tribe in the future.

The reason why the tribes gathered outside now look honest is just because the deterrent power of Jingguan is still there, and when Jingguan loses its deterrent power, then these tribes will inevitably unite to attack the Xia tribe.

If the Qingyan tribe seizes the opportunity at that time, then the Xia tribe will have a hard time.

Xia Qi's solution is actually somewhat similar to Jiang Yun's, but the other party is forcibly coercing and coercing those people to work, there are actually hidden dangers in this, if one is not handled well, it will explode instantly like a powder keg.

Xia Qi, on the other hand, made these people work voluntarily through a method similar to recruitment.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are based on different needs, and the way to choose is also different.

"Is this an option?" Iwa was initially skeptical of this approach.

"Why not?" Xia Qi asked rhetorically.

"Tell those people that whoever participates in the construction of the city wall will be paid one fish per day, and that they will have the right of priority to join the Xia tribe in the future."

Xia Qi's method is just a primitive version of cash-for-work. Think about the Blue Star, when the United States was in economic crisis, how many projects were built through this method?

For example, the world-famous dam, the Roosevelt Reservoir, was built during this period.

After listening to Xia Qi's explanation, Pan, who was still skeptical about this, suddenly changed his attitude, thinking that the probability of success of this method of the patriarch of the family was very high, and he immediately praised:

"Wonderful, the patriarch's method is really wonderful!"

What the specific trick is, Pan himself doesn't know.

In fact, the advantage of Xia Qi's method is not only to be able to build a city wall, but also to attract and divide those foreign tribes.

As I said before, because of Jingguan's deterrence, those tribes did not dare to fight the idea of the Xia tribe for the time being.

But as time goes by, the tribes that have migrated here are growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and as the food is further reduced, those hungry foreign tribes will eventually lose their minds and ignore the deterrence of Jingguan, and finally choose to attack the Xia tribe.

In the eyes of these people, the Xia tribe is a piece of fragrant barbecue, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite.

But after the implementation of this policy, it is equivalent to winning over a large number of people, and even if the rest of the people want to continue to be unfavorable to the Xia tribe, it depends on whether these people agree or not.

There is a saying that the reason why you do not support this country is simply because you are not one of the vested interests in this country.

These people who have been co-opted are the new vested interests of the Xia tribe, and if others want to touch this big cake of the Xia tribe, it will be up to them to see if they agree.
