It has been nearly two months since the Great Wilderness Mountains entered the cold winter. The coldest temperature has stabilized at this time in previous years, but this year, the temperature is lower every morning than the previous day. The major tribes realized the seriousness of the problem and began to reduce their food supply. .

First of all, it must start with the slaves. Since the beginning of winter, the slaves have only had one meal a day to fill their stomachs. Now the slaves are directly ordered to halve the food. They eat one meal a day and can only eat half full.

Although this will save some food, it is not a long-term solution, and the food saved by the slaves will not work for a long time.

But the leaders really didn't plan for the worst. They felt that this year they had already made preparations in advance and started to save early. No matter how difficult it was, they would not be as difficult as last year.

This winter day in the Blessed Tribe was very busy. First, the envoys and Lord Shenzi went eastward along the river but returned with many slaves and a large amount of supplies.

Among them, sugarcane is all made into sucrose and placed in Shenyou Department Store for exchange. The price is not very high, so there are many people who exchange it.

The most gratifying thing is the rapeseed that was exchanged. The people on Youjiang Plain don't know how to extract oil, but Su Yao doesn't plan to plant rapeseed on a large scale in the God Blessed Tribe.

He divided these rapeseeds into two parts, with the family as the unit, and each family only had two taels of rapeseed for next year's seeds.All the rest were moved to the temporary oil press house built by the tribe.

The tool for extracting oil is the simplest method of extracting oil with wood, which is rammed manually. Many people are crowded inside and outside the small oil workshop.

Su Yao's original intention was to let the people in the tribe learn how to squeeze oil and then squeeze it by themselves next year as a family unit, but now there are too many people in the tribe, even if each family only comes to this small oil-pressing room, it can't stand up .

Su Yao simply changed his mind, and with more than a dozen young and strong men, handed over all the oil extraction methods to them, and let them take over the oil extraction room.

There is a huge pot in the oil press, and the shovel stirring in the pot is half the height of a person.

The rapeseed should be fried in the pan in advance, the oil production effect is better, and the oil squeezed out is more.

As the young people slammed their wooden hammers against the wooden frame filled with rapeseeds, clear oil with an oily fragrance dripped out from the small opening below.

The extracted clear oil is also placed in the Shenyou Department Store, and each store can exchange a catty or two for a taste at a very small price.

As for soybeans, which account for the bulk of the exchange, they have become the best food in this winter.

There are also soybeans in the Shenyou tribe. Since the tribe began to eat rice and tofu, almost every household has a stone mill. They have learned to eat various kinds of soybeans in just a few months. Law.

The weather is even colder now, apart from the soldiers who have to hurry up their training and the teenagers who have to go to school to study, the old and weak women are all free.

As a food that can fill the stomach without damaging the body, tofu is the best choice to replace bacon, and is also very popular among women and the elderly.

Soybeans are picked clean and soaked in warm water for one night. At noon the next day, the temperature rises slightly, and people in the winter at home bring the soaked soybeans to the stone mill.

Most of the stone mills are placed in the side room or the open space beside the main house. A simple shed is built with wood and grass blades to keep out the wind and snow. In the cold winter, a fire under the shed is very warm.

Add water to soybeans and grind them on a stone mill to make soybean milk. Filter out the bean dregs with a clean cotton cloth and boil them in a pot directly.

The boiled soybean juice is added with the brine used for salt refining, wait slowly, and after it is solidified, scoop it into a wooden frame mold with cotton cloth, press a big stone or something heavy on it and put it overnight, and it will be fresh in the morning The tofu can be eaten.

As for the filtered bean dregs, add bacon, potatoes, and soaked various fungi, cut into small cubes and fry them in oil, and you will have a delicious bean dregs cake.

Under normal circumstances, one catty of soybeans can order more than three catties of tofu, and three catties of tofu is enough for a family of five to eat two meals of boiled vegetables and dried tofu soup.

Originally, the tribe had sufficient food reserves this year. Now that the fleet has returned, although many new slaves and people have been added, there is no need to worry about food.

Priest Wu Ming lived with Priest Wu Luo for more than ten days, and then Priest Wu Luo led the warriors of the Wild Eagle Tribe to join the God Blessed Tribe without knowing what happened.

In addition, the old priest Wu Luo also offered to disperse the population of the tribe to avoid the situation that the warriors of the same tribe would form a group and unite to the outside world.

The hemp trees brought back were planted on the plain east of the tribe. With the blessing of Su Yao's spiritual power, the survival of these hemp trees was not a problem.

And the unprocessed hemp tree bark brought back is still piled up in the cellar.

Since the beginning of winter, the school has adjusted the pace of classes, at least six hours of study a day, and one day off for every six days of study.

There is a small test every half a month, and a big test once a month.

Six or seven days later, it was time for the big exam. On a whim, Su Yao produced a set of test papers according to their progress in class, and promised that those who reached the target score would be able to study with him for a month.

As soon as the news was announced, the whole tribe exploded. Who is Su Yao?

That is the God Envoy whom everyone in the tribe respects, the god in everyone's eyes.

They are willing to give anything if they can get the teaching of the gods, whether it is an hour or a few minutes.What's more, this time is a full month.

So in the short amount of time, the teenagers started to study with all their strength, and they never even dropped the bamboo slips in their hands when they ate and slept.

The knowledge in the school is very complicated. In addition to literature and arithmetic, medical first aid, archery and chess, simple geography, and knowledge of animals and plants must be learned.

Su Yao's test paper included astronomy and geography, and he knew that judging from the current situation of these teenagers, it was impossible to get 100 points in the test.

However, you can still try if you get 50 points. After all, many contents can be inferred based on the knowledge you usually learn.

Zhongli led the soldiers to continue training in the martial arts field. The soldiers were already used to this kind of life, so they didn't find it hard.

Although the tribe is still peaceful today, the class nature among people has begun to emerge.

The rank between residents and slaves is naturally the most obvious. Although Su intends to downplay the class gap between them, his long-standing thinking cannot be changed for a while. Although the effect is there, it is not very significant.

Then there are the warriors who have always had the highest status in the tribe since ancient times, and their status is still at the top today, and they are deeply valued by everyone in the tribe.

Then came the craftsmen, who were deeply respected by everyone because they had mastered a certain technology. Secondly, although everyone who worked felt equal to each other, everyone would subconsciously treat hardworking people and lazy people differently.

Su Yao realizes that the tribe is now in a critical period of transformation. If it develops like this for a long time, there will definitely be irreconcilable conflicts in the tribe. At this time, it is a bit rushed to use currency in the daily exchange of the tribe. Operable.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Zhongli left the tribe under the cover of darkness. Except for the necessities of life, all the other things in his space ring were vacated.

It was only because during the chatting process of the two old priests, Su Yao vaguely discovered traces of the existence of copper mines.

According to the old priest Wuluo, he lost his way when he went to the forbidden place of the gods in the back mountain, and he also found a mountain similar to the forbidden place of the gods, but the stones on that mountain were in various colors such as blue, purple, indigo, etc. Very weird.

The mountain was huge, and Priest Wu Luo and the warriors who protected him walked around for several days before getting out of it. However, due to physical reasons, Wu Luo fell into a coma for a while when he came out, and he didn't remember the exact route.

And the warrior who led him out of the mountain has long been sleeping in the soil of the Desolate Eagle Tribe.

However, even if he couldn't remember the route clearly, Su Yao still wanted to try it. If he only relied on gold and silver coins to purchase, there would definitely be insufficient currency in the later stage. If he could find copper mines, then all problems would be solved.

It's just that the weather is really cold today, and this matter can only be done by the two of them.

After various considerations, Zhongli finally went alone to inquire about the news of the copper mine.

Zhong Li's cultivation is already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he can hardly suffer any harm in this wild world. Su Yao can feel at ease in terms of safety.

As for Su Yao himself, he has to hurry up and carve the template for minting coins.

In order to ensure the uniqueness of the currency, Su Yao deliberately forged a small piece of special ore that had been preserved in the past with spiritual fire.

Although he planned to follow the ancient method of using gold and silver as currency, he did not copy gold and silver ingots, but set about making relatively light gold and silver coins.

According to the current situation, it is preliminarily determined that the purchasing power of one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred copper coins.

Of course, this has to be under the premise of finding copper mines.

There is only a big "God" character on the front of the mold for casting coins, and on the back are special anti-counterfeiting symbols and the coin's minting date.

In the dark part of the mould, Su Yao also added a lot of exquisite totems, and the carvings with spiritual power are extremely accurate, not to mention the barbarians nowadays, even modern technology is difficult to imitate.

Considering that a large number of copper coins are used in daily life, the load must not be too much.The model of the copper coin needs to be minted into a lighter hollow outer circle.

This style Su Yao completely copied the appearance of the ancient copper coins, but the inscriptions and totems in the details are still the same as the gold and silver coins.

For more than ten days in a row, Su Yao spent in his room studying the molds for minting coins, while the tribe outside began to be lively.

According to the calendar formulated by Su Yao, there is still more than one month to go before the "New Year's Eve".

It also means that if the weather is normal, it will be spring in more than a month.

The forage stored by the people who raised livestock has been half empty. Before winter, wild pigs and wild birds and other livestock that were not big enough to meet the slaughter standard have been eating and drinking for more than two months, and they have gained weight by now. lock up.

It's time to slaughter and clean up, so as to save fodder for the pregnant female animals, and at the same time, everyone can eat some fresh meat to satisfy their cravings.

The tribe was very busy, and the tribe far away on the Youjiang Plain had already felt the warmer weather. Before they were happy, the temperature suddenly dropped again, even colder than before.
