Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

"Zhou Bing, Tang Wen, you two will take a portion of the current hunting camp members and select some city guards from the outer city to form the outer city hunting team."

"While Tang Wen is assisting Zhou Bing, he will also assist Commander Zhang in managing the outer city."

Go to the outer city?

Two deputy positions?

Tang Wen pondered that in this case, he could slack off as much as he wanted.

Tell Sister Bing that Commander Zhang has arranged something.

Then tell Commander Zhang that Sister Bing is too busy to handle things.

Wouldn't that be very leisurely?

Hmm, wait, I finally became a leader, shouldn't I be thinking about throwing my weight around?

Why am I always thinking about slacking off?

After the work was arranged, General Zhou stood up and said, "Let's go, we'll go to the main hall together to pay respects to the Queen."

Rattling sounds of chairs.

Tang Wen and Zhou Bing were fine.

The other three stood up helplessly, their faces nervous and expectant.

Tang Wen was curious and asked in a low voice, "It's understandable that the two original outer city captains haven't met the Queen, but how come Qian Lai, this guard, hasn't either?"

"Well, the Queen, she, she is always in seclusion," Zhou Bing's tone was a bit unnatural.

Tang Wen glanced at her but didn't say much.

The two followed behind the generals and commanders, arriving at the main hall together.

The main hall was also in the style of a council hall, with a half-person-high stone platform in the middle towards the back, on which was placed an exquisitely shaped chair.

In front of the stone platform, on both sides, were rows of seats.

"Your Majesty, the new commanders have arrived."

A woman resembling a female official called out towards the side door of the main hall.

Slight footsteps approached.

Immediately afterward, a stunningly beautiful face entered everyone's eyes.

"Everyone has worked hard, please sit!"

The crisp and melodious voice revealed a hint of irresistible majesty.

But no one sat down until she lightly flicked her red dress and sat in the main seat, then everyone sat down one after another.

Liu Sha trembled as he stood up first, introducing himself to the Queen in a not-so-fluent manner.

His excitement, reverence, and the feeling of being amazed by the Queen's appearance were vividly displayed.

The Queen smiled and nodded in encouragement.

This old brother sat down with an excited expression.

Zhang Mian was not much better than him.

Qian Lai's performance was slightly better.

After he finished speaking, he evoked the Queen's impression of him: "Not bad, the little guard from back then has grown up."

Qian Lai looked excited and couldn't help but express his loyalty: "The guard will always be the sharp blade in your hand!"

"Yes," the Queen nodded, appearing to affirm him.

Zhou Bing stood up.

The Queen's smile was as bright as the sun: "Bing'er, you don't need to introduce yourself. Stay behind later."

The three people just now all turned their heads, their eyes filled with envy.

Envy at the Queen's closeness to her relatives.

Tang Wen curiously looked at the expressionless Sister Bing, feeling even stranger in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I am Tang Wen."

"I know you," the Queen praised, "A young genius."

"Not at all, not at all, in front of Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a genius."

"You are young and killed an Awakened on the arena, naturally you are a genius, don't be modest!"

Tang Wen was even more modest: "I just used the time that others enjoyed on martial arts training."

The others:

"Good! Stay behind later and tell me how you usually practice martial arts," the Queen restrained her smile.

Agreeing, Tang Wen retreated to his seat.

He also gained the envious gazes of the three new commanders.

It seems that these three can be considered loyal fans of the Queen.

After introducing the newcomers, the Queen stood up, her red dress like fire, and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, the drought is coming!"

Huh?

Except for the five newly promoted ones, the others were not surprised at all, obviously they already knew.

General Zhao stood up and said: "After investigation, the water levels of the large and small rivers and streams around the camp, as well as the large lake in the west, are all lower than in previous years. It hasn't rained or snowed for a full three months from winter to today. This year, the millet will definitely have a reduced yield in late spring. According to experienced old farmers, the yield will be reduced by more than half."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Everyone knew in their hearts that reduced grain production often meant the beginning of turmoil.

"You few speak first?" General Zhou looked at Tang Wen and the other five, obviously testing them.

After all, commanders can't just know how to fight, they also need to understand camp management and disaster prevention.

Liu Sha and the other three looked at each other, and no one spoke. They quietly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the eyes of their seniors.

A look of a bad student who doesn't dare to look at the teacher's eyes after the teacher asks a question.

Zhou Bing frowned, thinking about something.

"Little Tang, you go first."

Tang Wen organized his words 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 be able to survive. People can do anything before they starve to death. Even if they don't riot, the Black Mountain Camp will instigate them to riot."

Commander Zhang asked, "Is there any way?"

Way?

What way is there to think about this?

Many people in the hall have only one word in their minds - kill them all.

But Tang Wen felt that the camp should focus on strengthening itself: "Draw out areas outside the camp in advance, set up villages, all scavengers who are willing to work can come in to live."

"Then, find a vacant lot by the lake and let them reclaim wasteland. As for those scavengers who rob and oppress others, they will be executed immediately upon discovery."

"What about food?"

General Zhao asked, "Reclaiming wasteland is heavy physical labor, and it can't be done without eating food."

Tang Wen also knew that the camp couldn't provide too much food to the scavengers.

He had thought about this question: "As for food, concentrate on collecting what can be eaten in the wild."

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

I don't expect them to reclaim any wasteland in the first year, as long as they don't cause trouble, survive the drought season, and wait for the sky to rain.

They can not only support themselves, but also supply us with some food.

"Do you mean we have to provide seeds and farm tools?"

People who are extremely hungry will even eat the seeds.

Tang Wen shook his head and said, "When it's time to sow, we'll send people to work for a few days. The farm tools can be lent to them, and when they have a harvest, let them use the grain to repay us."

"Why is it so troublesome? If they dare to cause trouble and attack the camp, can't we just kill them all?"

Tang Wen knew that some people would think this way, he said: "Yes, we can, but people are very important resources. What benefits can we get from killing them? By recruiting them, we can strengthen the camp."

"Of course, how to do it specifically, we still need to ask Her Majesty the Queen and the two generals to decide together."

General Zhao nodded in affirmation: "It is certainly simple to kill them, but it is indeed a waste, and it will also cause epidemics later."

"After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. We must also pay attention to epidemic prevention."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Queen Yu held her fair cheek with her jade hand and frowned, "The idea is good. But we must first calculate the number of people reclaiming wasteland, how much grain is needed, and is our grain enough? What if the drought continues?"

General Zhou opened his mouth: "Our grain reserves are enough for the inner city to eat for more than three years under the rationing system. If we add the people from the outer city, it will only last less than two years."

"The inner city is wealthy, and each household has its own surplus grain, but the outer city is in suspense."

After discussing, and discussing, Tang Wen realized that he was still thinking too simply.

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

Now is not a good time to recruit the scavengers outside the city.

After an hour or two of discussion, everyone basically reached a consensus.

And Tang Wen's suggestion was also partially adopted.

That is, the coarse grain cakes he said can be made first.

When spring comes, there are many trees, flowers and plants in the forest, pick them back, mix them with a little flour and make them into dry and hard cakes, which can also be regarded as a kind of stored grain.
