Chapter 061: The Queen Summons, the Great Drought is Coming (Ask for Follow-up)

"Zhou Bing, Tang Wen, the two of you take away some of the existing members of the hunting camp, select some of the guards guarding the outer city, and form the outer city hunting team."

"While Tang Wen is responsible for assisting Zhou Bing, he also has to assist Commander Zhang to manage the outer city."

Going to the outer city?

Two deputies?

Tang Wen thought about it, in this way, he could fish to his heart's content.

Tell Sister Bing that Commander Zhang has something to arrange.

Tell Commander Zhang again, Sister Bing can't be busy.

Isn't it very leisurely?

Well, wait, I've finally become a leader, shouldn't I think about being powerful?

Why do you keep thinking about touching fish?

After the work was arranged, General Zhou got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the main hall together and meet the queen." ”

There was a bang, and the stool rattled.

Tang Wen and Zhou Bing are fine.

The other three got up at a loss, their faces nervous and expectant.

Tang Wen was curious, and asked in a low voice: "It's okay if the two original captains of the outer city haven't seen the queen, why haven't they seen this janissary before?" ”

"Well, the Queen, she's always in retreat." Zhou Bing's tone was a little unnatural.

Tang Wen glanced at her and didn't say anything.

The two followed behind the generals and commanders and came to the main hall together.

The main hall is also in the style of a council chamber, with a half-height stone platform in the middle and a chair with a delicate shape on it.

On each side of the front of the stone platform, there is a row of seats.

"Your Excellency, the new Commanders have arrived."

A woman shouted towards the side door of the main hall.

Slight footsteps approaching.

Immediately after, a bright and brilliant face broke into everyone's eyes.

"Everyone's worked hard, sit down!"

In the crisp and pleasant voice, there is a hint of majesty that cannot be refused.

But no one sat down, and it wasn't until she shook off her red dress and sat down in the right seat that everyone sat down.

Liu Sha trembled and was the first to stand up, and introduced himself to the queen in a not very fluent language.

His excitement, reverence, and the amazement at seeing the Queen's face were on full display.

The queen smiled and nodded in encouragement.

The old man sat down with an excited face.

Zhang Mian was not much better than him.

Money came to perform a little better.

After he finished speaking, he evoked the queen's impression of him: "Yes, the little janissary of the year has also grown up. ”

Qian Lai looked excited, and couldn't help but show his loyalty: "The Praetorian guard is always a sharp blade in your hand!" ”

"Hmm." The queen nodded, looking affirmative.

Zhou Bing stood up.

The queen's smile was as bright as sunshine: "Bing'er, you don't need to be introduced. Will stay later. ”

Just now, the three of them turned their heads in unison, their eyes envious.

Envy of the Queen's close relatives for her.

Tang Wen looked at Sister Bing with an expressionless face curiously, and his heart was even more strange.

"Your Excellency, I'm Tang Wen."

"I know you," the queen approving, "young genius." ”

"Where, where, in front of the Queen, there is any genius."

"You are young, you killed the awakened in the ring, you are naturally a genius, don't be modest!"

Tang Wen was even more modest: "I just used the time that others enjoyed to practice martial arts." ”

Others: ......

"Good! I'll stay later and tell me how I usually practice martial arts. The queen retracted her smile.

With a promise, Tang Wen retreated to his seat.

He also gained the envy of the three new commanders.

It seems that these three people can be regarded as loyal fans of the queen.

After introducing the newcomers, the queen stood up, dressed in red like fire, and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, the drought is coming!" ”

Well?

Except for the new five, the others were not surprised at all, and obviously already knew.

General Zhao stood up and said, "After investigation, the water level of the large and small rivers and streams around the camp, as well as the large lake to the west, is lower than in previous years. As of today, there has been no rain or snow for more than three months. At the end of spring this year, corn production will definitely be reduced. According to the estimates of experienced old farmers, the yield will be reduced by more than half. ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

Everyone knows in their hearts that a reduction in grain production often means the beginning of turmoil.

"How many of you will talk about it first?" General Zhou looked at Tang Wen and the other five people, obviously testing the teaching.

After all, the commander must not only know how to fight and kill, but also know a little bit about camp management and disaster prevention.

Liu Sha, the three of you, look at me, I look at you, no one is silent. Quietly lowered his head, not daring to look at his seniors.

After a teacher asked a question, he didn't dare to look at the teacher's eyes.

Zhou Bing frowned and was thinking about something.

"Don Jr., you come first."

Tang Wen organized the language and said: "The scavengers outside the camp may riot, they have been hungry for a winter, and if they can't eat the fruits of the forest, the wild vegetables and mushrooms on the ground in the spring, they won't survive." Before a person starves to death, he can do anything. Even if they don't riot, the Montenegrin camp will incite them to riot. ”

Commander Zhang asked, "Is there any way?" ”

Way?

What else do you need to think of?

Many people in the hall only had one word in their minds - kill and be done.

But Tang Wen felt that the camp should still focus on strengthening itself: "Set aside an area outside the camp in advance, set up a stockade, and all scavengers who are willing to work can come in and live." ”

"Then by the big lake, find a vacant land and let them clear the land. As for those scavengers who rob and oppress others, they will be immediately put to death if they are discovered. ”

"Where's the food?"

General Zhao asked: "Clearing the wasteland is a heavy physical work, and you can't do it without eating food." ”

Tang Wen also knew that it was impossible for the camp to come up with too much food for the scavengers.

He thought about this question: "If you want food, collect what you can eat in the wild." ”

"For example, tree bark, leaves, flowers and plants, with a small amount of grain, ground into noodles, made into hard cakes, eating one should last for half a day."

I don't want them to open up any wasteland in the first year, as long as they don't make trouble, survive the dry season, and wait for the rain to come.

Not only can they feed themselves, but they can also provide us with some food. ”

"You mean we're going to provide seeds, farming tools?"

People are so hungry that they eat the seeds.

Tang Wen shook his head and said: "During the sowing season, let's send people to work for a few days, and the farm tools can be lent to them, and when there is a harvest, let them use the grain to pay it back." ”

"Why do you have to be so troublesome, they dare to make trouble, storm the camp, can't they all be killed?"

Tang Wen knew that someone thought so, he said: "It can be, but people are very important resources, what benefits can we gain by killing them?" By co-opting them, we can expand the camp. ”

"Of course, how to do it will have to be decided by the queen and the two generals together."

General Zhao nodded in affirmation: "It's easy to kill them, but it's really wasteful, and it will cause a plague in the future." ”

"After the great plague there will be a great plague. Also pay attention to epidemic prevention. ”

"Look, Queen?"

The queen jade held her white cheeks in her hand, frowned and said, "Good idea." But first of all, we have to calculate how much food is needed for the head of the wasteland, and is our food enough? What if the drought continues? ”

General Zhou spoke: "Our food reserves, under the implementation of the rationing system, are enough for the inner city to eat for more than three years, if you add people from the outer city, it can only last less than two years." ”

"The inner city is rich, and every household has its own surplus food, but the outer city hangs in the balance."

Discussions came and went, and Tang Wen found that he still wanted to be simple.

The Flame Camp still doesn't know how long the drought will last, and whether it will survive the disaster year smoothly.

It's not a good time to co-opt the scavengers outside the city.

After an hour or two of discussion, everyone basically agreed.

Tang Wen's suggestion was also partially adopted.

That's what he said about coarse grain cakes, which can be made first.

When spring arrives, there are many trees and flowers in the forest, and picking them back and mixing them with flour to make dry and hard cakes is also a kind of stored food.
