I am a primitive

Moreover, the pottery made by the female priests is simply incomparable with the current tribe.

The bowls they eat with today are better than the best pottery that the priestesses have made before.

Like many people in the tribe, Erchong's mother felt uneasy when she learned that the priestess abandoned them, but after living in this tribe for a period of time, Erchong's mother didn't feel this way at all. There are even many times when they feel that it is a good thing for the female priests to abandon them.

Because after the priestess abandoned them, they had wiser and younger god sons.

Of course, what makes people like Er Chong's mother find it troublesome at first and then fall in love with it does not include the dizzying chopsticks and the tongue-twisting language that makes people want to bite their tongues.

But there is no way, they have to learn these two things, because if they don't eat with those two small wooden sticks called 'chopsticks', they can't eat food.

The same is true of this awkward language. Everyone must learn five of them every day. If one cannot learn it, they will have to eat less food.

Under the protest of their stomachs and the temptation of food, they can only do their best to learn this painfully awkward language.

This language, called Mandarin, is really daunting to learn.

This is not the most uncomfortable thing, the most uncomfortable thing is the pattern called Chinese characters.

These patterns look square and square. To Erchong's mother and most of the Bannong tribe, these patterns are the same, but the people who teach them in the tribe can point out their differences. different.

In the past, Er Chong's mother only admired the strong male primitive man who could bring back a lot of food, but now, Er Chong's mother has changed her mind.

It becomes even more admirable for those who can 'draw' these patterns and recognize them one by one.

Because in her opinion, this is more difficult than hunting. Fortunately, the people of this tribe did not force them to learn this...

Han Cheng, who had been tortured enough by English, could understand the feelings of these people. Seeing how they were tortured while learning Chinese, Han Cheng felt very happy in his heart.

This kind of enjoyment is only a little bit worse than seeing those foreign friends scratching their ears and roaring to the sky while learning Chinese.

Of course, Han Cheng's carefreeness was only for this moment. When his eyes moved away from the hair-loss slaves of the half-farmer tribe who were tortured by Chinese, and fell on the food that was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, this kind of The joy was immediately replaced by a kind of melancholy with pain in the flesh.

According to his previous idea, when the people in the tribe were digging the soil to build houses, a cylindrical grain cellar with a depth of more than four meters and a diameter of more than ten meters had already been formed, and the grass shed for shelter from the wind and rain had been built on it. It only needs a little tidying up, and the food can be loaded inside.

But now, the grain cellar that has been built is still empty.

There is no other reason, because there are more than 200 more mouths in the tribe that need to eat.

Fighting has always been about more than just force.Food and grass are very important things.

This can be seen from the Qingque tribe's campaign against the Bannong tribe.

The long-distance march, plus the more than 200 Qingque allied forces, the food consumption was extremely alarming.

This time they plundered a lot of food from the Bannong tribe, but their food was far from the high quality of the Qingque tribe's food, and they could barely make up for the food consumption of this expedition.

But making up is making up, but from now on, these more than 200 eating mouths can only be fed by the Qingque tribe.

These open mouths are bottomless pits that absorb food one by one, but there is no way, they have to be kept.

If it weren't for the bronze plow, which would increase the efficiency of farming in the tribe, expand the area of ​​cultivated land, and greatly increase the total grain output. Even Han Cheng would be extremely sad when the tribe suddenly added so many mouths.

After these years of development, the population of the Qingque Tribe has grown extremely rapidly.

After successively absorbing the pig tribe, bone tribe, green tribe, donkey tribe, yellow fruit tribe and the remaining sheep tribe, coupled with the improvement of the living conditions of the Qingque tribe and the improvement of medical and health conditions, the number of babies born in these years has also increased. The survival rate has been greatly improved.

So now, the total population of Qingque Tribe citizens has reached 510!

Among them, there are a total of 71 adults, 130 are men, and the remaining [-] are adult women.

There are [-] minors, and [-] of them are about to enter adulthood.

Now, after Han Cheng's arrival, the earliest batch of children who were born were already eight years old.

Primitive people matured early, and in the next five or six years, when these children grow up, there is no need to absorb foreign population, just the number of adults in their own tribe can reach [-] or more every year!

And this is only counting the number of citizens in the tribe, not counting the slaves in the tribe.

In the past few years, after taking down the two big tribes of the Tengshe tribe and the Bannong tribe, the number of slaves in the Qingque tribe has also increased rapidly!

It turned out that there were [-] slaves obtained from the Tengshe tribe.

In the past few years, counting those who were promoted as citizens of the Qingque Tribe because of their outstanding performance, as well as the two or three people who died for various reasons, and counting the newborn babies, the number of slaves in the Tengshe Tribe was maintained at the original number. Under the circumstances, a few more have been added.

Now, with the addition of the more than 200 slaves from the Bannong tribe, and several members of the sheep tribe with tattooed faces, the total number of slaves in the Qingque tribe has reached 420.

Among them, there were 64 male adult slaves, 210 female adult slaves, and a total of [-] and [-] adult slaves.

There were fifteen slaves who were about to become adults, and the rest were relatively younger slaves. There were two hundred and nine slaves in total.

Adding up the citizens of the Qingque tribe and the slaves of the Qingque tribe, the total population of the Qingque tribe has reached 930, a number that amazed many tribes in this era!

Compared with when Han Cheng first came to the Qingque tribe, the population of the tribe has increased by nearly twenty times!

If the next spring begins, the men and women in the tribe will work harder, and by the end of the ten years of Qingque, maybe the people in the tribe will be able to break through the [-]-person barrier!

With such a population, even in later generations, if it is not compared with those big villages in the plains, it can be called a big village!

Such a large population is a valuable asset for the Qingque Tribe, but at the same time, when it is not well utilized, it is also a big burden for the helm of the tribe. This burden only needs to look at the daily consumption You can know how big the dropped food is.

Hurry up to start the spring. After the spring, the tribe can continue to cultivate the land to grow food.

At the same time, you can also get some other food to supplement, so you don't have to stick to the stored food.

As long as there is a little income, the food stored in the tribe will not be consumed so quickly.

Now, under the pressure of such a large population and food, even Han Cheng couldn't help looking forward to the arrival of the girl named Chun.

After looking at the granary for a while, and staring at the book recording the population for a while, Han Cheng's brows gradually frowned.

His frown wasn't because of the daily food consumption rate.

Although the consumption of food is huge now, judging from the food storage of the Qingque tribe, the food supply of the tribe is only slightly tight, and food shortages will not happen.

What made him frown was the number between the citizens of the Qingque tribe and the slaves.

From the perspective of the total number of people, there are only 87 more citizens of the Qingque tribe than slaves.

If we only compare the number of adults, after the Bannong tribe joined, there were 13 more adult slaves in the tribe than the adult citizens of the Qingque tribe!

Such a thing is not very good news for the tribe.

According to Han Cheng's previous idea, the ratio between citizens and slaves is two to one, which is considered a relatively safe line.

But now, the population of adult slaves directly exceeds that of citizens, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.

Han Cheng didn't notice this before, but now that he did, he woke up immediately.
