I really don't want to be a system

Since Chen Chao successfully captured a group of resting young men from the Ministry of Construction, the Department of Ceramics and the Department of Construction, the 'Ministry of Agriculture-Planting Team' quickly completed the planting work.

After the planting work was completed, they became the 'wasteland reclamation team' again, and began to prepare for the next planting and continue to cultivate more land.

During this period, I also took care of the young rice, wheat and cabbage on a part-time basis.

As for Chen Chao, in addition to managing the Ministry of Agriculture, he also needs to go to the Construction Department and the Pottery Department to deal with some things.

Because the construction department has already started to build the city wall, in the early days, Chen Chao needed to bring a rope ruler and various tools to help the construction department determine the location of the city wall and the specific distance.

During the period, the mining department came back for a trip, but it was harvested.

After all, it was only a team of 15 people, so if they could bring back copper and tin for seven wind-powered unicycles, Super Chen would be very satisfied.

But it is still too little, five carts of copper and two carts of tin.It also took fifteen people and more than a month's time, calculated according to this...

Relying on the current output and capacity of the mining department/transportation team, we can only get back 60 cars of copper and 24 cars of tin in a year without rest.

Emmmmm... The output and progress are really hard to describe.

So a certain system boss put his idea on the group of wild horses that he brought back before~~
It's time to launch the animal-drawn cart!

At least next time the shipping capacity can be better, and try to get back ten cars of copper and four cars of tin!

He went to see it some time ago, and there are several more ponies in the wild horse herd, and the team seems to be much stronger than before.

It was estimated that there were only about 20 horses before, but when Chao Chen went to see them, he found that the number of wild horses seemed to have doubled.

I don't know if there are migrating wild horses, but I accidentally found that there are only ones of the same kind here.

And it doesn't look too dangerous around here. There are only some weak-looking two-legged beasts in such a large plain.

There are no big and ferocious beasts, and the food seems to be sufficient, so this group of migrating wild horses also choose to stay here.

In any case, the expansion of the wild horse herd made Super Chen very happy.

Although they were not used to help when transforming the paddy fields before, it's not that the bronze is not enough.

After all, the farm tools used by cows and horses are much larger than those used by humans, and the stock of bronze at that time did not support large batches of large farm tools.

So Chen Chao can only look at the power of the animal and sigh~~
Now it's different, now there's copper and tin in the tribe again.

Although, not many, but two-wheeled vehicles and bronze horseshoes can be launched~
However, Chen Chao still didn't fully pin his hopes on the wild horses. After all, wild horses are not only wild and unruly, but also very powerful.

Of course, the same goes for bison...

Therefore, if possible, Chen Chao planned to select a group of wild horses that were relatively docile and willing to get close to people.

In addition, after the specific location of the city wall at the Ministry of Construction is planned, he plans to take a group of people out and find a way to bring back some bison and wild horses, and the wild donkeys will also become~~

Otherwise, the transportation capacity is really stretched...

Moreover, bringing back a batch of cows and horses can also help with farm work, and the breeding industry can also develop more different options.

But now is not the time, the things that have just been planted in the field still need to be taken care of, and the location of the city wall has not been specifically planned, and it is still impossible to move away, so we have to wait.

The previously customized March plan has been basically completed, and the subsequent May plan is gradually unfolding.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, except clothing, the other three things have either already started or are about to start.

So this time when I go out to hunt bison, it is best to find some sisal seeds to solve the problem of summer clothes.

I have to ask the people of the tribe to search in the chestnut forest to see if the chestnut silkworms have started to show up.

Chen Chao was thinking about the future development of the Tianyuan Tribe, and at the same time thinking about the current affairs.

But not all places, like the Tianyuan tribe, can not be hungry or cold.

In this hard-won spring, those tribes who have inexplicably experienced the cold winter when they open their eyes.

But he didn't have any time to think about this weird weather, but tried his best to cover his body with thick animal skins.

Those who have food and stocks are better, while those who have no food and no stocks.

You can only wrap it with thin bark, or use leaves to cover your body as much as possible, so that you can keep a little temperature.

Then in the cold winter, step on the melted or unmelted snow, looking for any little food you might find.

But they couldn't stop, because their clansmen were hiding in the cave tremblingly waiting for them to bring food back.

After finally surviving until the weather gradually warmed up, the people of each tribe silently counted the losses this winter had brought them after cheering.

how much food was consumed...

Heh, this basically doesn't need to be counted.

Because winter is so unexpected, many tribes have no food reserves, and the food they consume is caught and eaten immediately after waking up.

How many clansmen froze to death, and how many clansmen starved to death...

How many adult males lost their lives because they had to hunt in winter, and how many tribesmen could replace them this year.

There is no way to take a closer look at it. For a tribe with less than a hundred people, if only ten people are reduced, that is considered good.

Fortunately, this period of time was not long. Although there were a lot of downsizing, many tribes still retained a certain amount of strength and survived.

The price to pay, of course, is less food for everyone but adult men.

The first thing to be reduced is the food for the elderly and children. There is no way, we must fully supply the adult men with hunting ability.

Only if they have physical strength can they bring back prey for the tribe.

As for the elderly and children, they are usually only available to tribes that are capable of supporting them.

After all, most of the time, the elderly and children are in a situation where they have to consume a lot of food without any use.

As for the kids growing up...

The time it takes for a child to grow up to be able to hunt is too long...

The second is adult women, because there is very little food and fruit to collect in winter, so after being unable to provide actual benefits for the tribe, the food for adult women has also been greatly reduced.

But the reduction is reduced, and the food for adult women will not be broken.

Because the child can be reborn, but if the adult woman is gone, then there is nothing.

But no one is really willing to eat the portion of food that belongs to children and the elderly, and they are forced to do so.

Because of lack of stamina, they couldn't bring back more prey for the tribe, and they couldn't even find some edible nuts in the snow.

And it doesn't mean that if you eat food and go out to hunt, you will definitely get something.

Many more people got nothing, and they lost their lives because of the cold.

Or when encountering wild beasts that they cannot defeat at all, the men will fight desperately and try their best, hoping to bring back as much food as possible for their tribe.

if……

If you can't take them back, those men are probably wiped out.

Those tribes that did not get food could only sigh, and then sent out teams that could continue to get food.

There was no time for them to grieve, to grieve for the dead.

They deeply know that one day later, there will be less food in the tribe, and fewer people with the strength to move.

So once there was a slight possibility of failure, the leader and witch in the tribe would send out a second team without hesitation to get food.

Even if they successfully brought back the prey, no one would cheer and celebrate because the price they had to pay was too great.

In addition to facing terrifying beasts, they also have to face the cold weather.

Even though the animal skins of the entire tribe were wrapped around their bodies, the cold wind still seemed to have eyes, and it was able to burrow into the cracks in the animal skins.

The cold wind will not only make them feel cold, but also take away their ears, or their fingers and toes.

Not to mention the injuries sustained in the fight with wild beasts, the good ones may have a cut, the big ones may be disabled, or even...death...

Sometimes, being able to face the beast is already the best choice.
