Chapter 11: The Course of Action of the Eagle Tribe

Early in the morning, when the first rays of the sun shone in the middle of the camp of the Eagle Tribe.

Zhang Duo was unexpectedly taken to the outside of Rui's shack again.

Outside the hut were Wu and the Hunter 2, who were roasting meat.

Seeing Zhang Duo coming, Rui handed him a piece of meat that had been roasted.

Zhang Duo tasted the barbecue with salt and felt that it was much more delicious, but it would be better if there were seasonings such as cumin and pepper.

Rui was the first to speak: "Today, I asked everyone to come over with Wu to discuss the next direction of the tribe. It's autumn and it's almost winter, and the tribe needs to be prepared enough to minimize the deaths of its clansmen during the winter as much as possible. ”

Pan Hecang heard Rui's opening, and his face became heavy,

As the captains of the hunting party, they knew the effects of winter on hunting.

Many animals hibernate or migrate to other places during the winter months, making hunting extremely difficult.

But the duo couldn't change that.

Zhang Duo thinks that solving the problem is to first add and list the problem, and then subtract to deal with the problem.

He spoke, "Chief, I have some ideas, and I think we need to sort out the difficulties of winter one by one, and then deal with them. ”

Wu nodded approvingly: "You go on." ”

He saw the changes that Zhang Duo had brought to the tribe recently, and he also wanted to see Zhang Duo's views on dealing with winter.

Zhang Duo saw that everyone was looking at him, so he told his opinion.

"The first difficulty in winter: severe cold and extremely low temperatures, the current clansmen's huts are not enough to shelter the clansmen through the winter, we need additional means of warmth, such as animal skins, but animal skins are not safe, it is best to improve the tribesmen's shelter before the winter comes."

"The second difficulty in winter: lack of food, the winter is cold, the plants stop growing, the number of animals will also be greatly reduced, hunting will become more difficult, once there are not enough reserves, there must be people who will not be able to survive this winter."

"The third difficulty in winter: the water source, because the water source will freeze due to the temperature, we need to melt the ice to get water, or reserve enough water in advance, but this requires a lot of clay pots."

"The fourth difficulty in winter: making a fire, in a cold and humid environment, most of the firewood is difficult to ignite, there is no fire source, and the low temperature will kill the weak people."

"That's what I thought, I think we should go to the trade belt to exchange for enough hides for reserves, including the second point of lack of food, and you can also trade to stock up on some meat."

When Rui heard Zhang Duo's dismantling questions one by one, he immediately felt a lot clearer. He spoke, "The salt we made yesterday is the hard currency of the trading belt, and according to the exchange price of previous years, it is enough to exchange for enough animal skins for the people of the people. If you still need to exchange it for meat, I'm afraid you'll have to make some more. ”

Zhang Duo nodded when he heard this, feeling that it was not a big problem to cook some salt, and he asked again: "How are the tribe's clay pots obtained, and are they all exchanged?" ”

Wu opened his mouth and said: "Basically, they are exchanged with the Tao tribe, and we have also tried to fire clay pots, but they are always unsuccessful, and then we give up, and we will obtain them by trading with the Tao tribe in the trading belt." ”

Rui added: "In the tribes around the entire trading belt, only the Tao tribe can make pottery, and basically other tribes are pottery exchanged from the Tao tribe, but the pottery of the Tao tribe is not expensive, and an ordinary animal skin can be exchanged for a clay pot that is enough for two or three tribesmen." ”

Zhang Duo doesn't know much about pottery, only that not all clay can be made into ceramics, and the clay of pottery contains a large number of minerals, so that it will maintain its shape in the process of firing.

But since the pottery sold by the pottery tribe is not expensive, it is not a big problem and can be solved through trading.

"Firewood will become damp after snow in winter, and I want to solve the problem unless you cut enough firewood before winter comes, and make a big shed to store firewood, so that it will not be so wet." ”

Rui nodded: "In previous years, due to lack of food, the hunting team usually needed to hunt non-stop, and the clansmen also needed to collect in order to fill their stomachs, so we did not have enough manpower to prepare these things, but at present, we can eat enough by fishing, and we can free up manpower to chop firewood." ”

When Zhang Duo saw Rui say this, he had some ideas: "Then why don't you renovate the tribal houses by the way, I have some ideas that can make the renovated shacks provide a warm, safe and comfortable living environment." ”

Rui agreed to Zhang Duo's proposal to renovate the shack, and now he wanted to applaud when he heard Zhang Duo say that he had some ideas. Because every time Zhang Duo says this, it will make the tribe better.

Zhang Duo felt that since the internal problems could be properly solved, then the next thing was the external problems, so he asked: "Will there be homeless people or hostile tribes to rob us of our supplies in winter?" ”

At this time, Cang, who had been silent, said: "After winter comes, some tribes that can't hold on will launch raids on other tribes, and they feel that they can't survive anymore, so it's better to fight." Normally, the defeated tribesmen become outcasts. In previous years, there would be displaced people who would come to us to ask for asylum, but we had to chase them away. ”

Pan also said: "There is only one wolf tribe in the upper reaches of the river that has a grudge against us, it has lasted for several generations, the initial reason is no longer verifiable, only know that our tribe and the wolf tribe have always been at odds, in previous years, it did not rob us in winter, but if it knew the current development of the eagle tribe, it would inevitably not come to destroy." ”

Zhang Duo nodded: "Then the materials exchanged this time can be exchanged for more, if more displaced people can be accepted in winter, it will not be an opportunity for the Eagle Tribe to expand its population." However, we must avoid being alerted by the wolf tribe noticing that we have exchanged too many materials during the transaction. ”

Ray found himself a lot more relaxed since Duo participated in the tribal meetings. You must know that there are a lot of big and small problems in a tribe, and after Zhang Duo participated, it became organized.

Rui clapped his head and said, "Duo, you can assign a task." ”

Zhang Duodao did not refuse.

"In the next few days, a small number of people went to the river to fish for their consumption. The rest of the tribe was divided into two parts, one part was going to cut firewood, and the other part was going to improve the house. ”

"Uncle Pan and Uncle Cang don't have to hunt in the past few days, they have to work harder, alternate work, one team goes to the salt soil to boil salt, and the other team is responsible for protecting the clansmen who chop wood and guarding the safety of the camp."

"It should be noted that the water in the puddle has dried up, and to boil salt, you need to prepare some water to dissolve the salt soil of the puddle before it can be implemented."

"I'm working with the people who are improving the houses to rebuild new houses for everyone."

"When we've almost stockpiled up salt, I'm going to go with the leader to the trading belt."

"Do you have any questions?"

The leader and Wu both said that there was no problem and made a decision on Zhang Duo's decision.

Pan and Cang are also full of energy.

The first Eagle Tribe Development Conference that Zhang Duo participated in after crossing over was finalized.

Wu looked at Zhang Duo's eyes and became more satisfied. He felt that the last time he prayed to the Eagle God, the good luck he showed must be because of Zhang Duo.
