Vol 3 Chapter 1463: -Rejuvenate

Time flies. On this day, the thief is studying weapon making with Usma in the engineering department.
In fact, the thief said that Usma was in charge of the crossbow and catapult, but in fact, he would also help.
After all, hand crossbows and long crossbows are much easier to make than catapults.
Holding the made hand crossbow in his hand, Ji Thief was adjusting Wangshan's test shot. When he hit outside, Tushan walked in and said, "My lord, Yi is here. He said something is looking for you."
The thief played with the crossbow, pulled the trigger, and with a swish, the arrow on the crossbow left the string and plunged directly into the target not far away.
Tushan yelled hello, Ji Zei put down his crossbow and said, "Let Yi come in."
Tushan nodded when he heard the words, answered yes, and turned to go out.
Ji thief held the crossbow and shook his head for himself.
In the test shot just now, Ji Thief saw it really, the hand crossbow still had some flaws, and the crossbow arrow did not fly straight out.
This is a big problem, and it needs to be dealt with.
In addition, the hand crossbow is too weak. If Ji Thief estimates, the effective range is about fifty steps, which is not much different from the spear thrower.
Although the firing range is roughly the same, the hand crossbow can throw off the spear thrower for more than ten blocks.
However, the hand crossbow was intended to be used by wolf cavalry at the beginning of production.
The purpose is for them to be used in sports and assault harvesting, so the range is not a big problem.
It's really not possible. While equipping the wolf cavalry with hand crossbow bronze knives, shouldn't it be enough to keep the bow and arrow configuration, long-range bows and arrows, mid-range hand crossbows, and close-range bronze knives.
For the long crossbow, don't think about it. The long crossbow is not light in weight, and the equipment is not as light and flexible as the hand crossbow longbow. The wolf cavalry uses the longbow, hand crossbow, and bronze knives as standard equipment.
Well, yes, it is like this.
Thinking about it, Ji thief nodded and began to adjust the inaccurate direction of the crossbow arrow.
Ji Zei was adjusting here, and he was playing outside, and Yi followed Tushan over.
When he came to the front, Yi bowed his hand at Ji Thief: "Great King."
Ji Zei nodded, put his crossbow away and hung it around his waist, and asked, "Yi, what's the matter?"
Yi took out a piece of sackcloth from his arms and said, "My lord, the statistics of the people in the tribe have come out. Master Xue asked me to show it to you."
Ji thief stretched out his hand to take a look, and Yi said softly: "According to statistics, there are 11,469 people in the tribe. Among them, there are 5,143 males and 5,000 females. Ninety-seven people. Eight hundred and seventy-three children, three hundred and fifty-six elderly people. Well, I didn’t count the newborn children, but I also counted the number, which is 1,432. Among them, your son, the lord, and Uxmata's daughter are counted in it."
As Yi said, Ji Thief nodded and looked at the content on the linen cloth. The lines on it were written clearly and neatly.
While lamenting Yi's ability to do things, Ji thief was delighted to be so strong with his tribe.
You know, counting the newly born children, there are now 12,901 people in the Lihuo tribe. That's not even counting the more than 1,000 people in the Tianling Fortress and the more than 2,000 people in the Baihe Plain.
If this were all counted, it would be 16,000 people.
Looking back now, when I first founded the Lihuo tribe, there were more than two hundred and three hundred people in the tribe. This is a total of fifty to sixty times.
Who is not happy?
"How many people are employed and working?" Ji Zei asked.
Yi shook his head and groaned: "If you work, it's still those in our tribe before, the number is 3,496."
The thief frowned: "It's equivalent to saying that after removing the elderly and children, there are still more than 6,700 people in our tribe without jobs?"
Yi nodded: "That's it."
Ji Thief tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "It's easy, you work hard. Before the grand princes came, you worked out a list of people who need to be in various departments, and after the year, you will start to arrange work for these people."
Yi bends over and answers yes.
After finishing talking, Yi seemed to suddenly think of a question, and said: "By the way, the Baihe Plain has no management. Let them develop. We only provide technical support. I thought about it. If this continues, will it be possible? Lost control of the Baihe Plain?"
Yi didn't say Ji Thief didn't think of it. Now that he said this, Ji Thief also realized.
Although the Baihe Plain is said to be adjacent to the Eastern Plain, it is not the development focus of Ji thief. Although it is said that compared with the past, their lives have been greatly improved, but the quality of life is still inferior to that of Ji Ji. The thieves have always supported the development of the Tianling Mountains.
It can be said that this is a big problem and it has to be handled properly.
But having said that, the truth is that this truth is true. The key is that there is no one under Ji Thief who can be sent out to manage the Baihe Plain.
Each department has their responsible person to manage, this is certainly indispensable.
Moreover, among these persons in charge, few can manage a territory and are qualified for this job.
There is no doubt that Yi, Uthma is.
But one of the two of them is the chief of the construction department and the other is the chief of the government affairs department. If they were dispatched, the Lihuo tribe would be paralyzed in an instant, and doing so would not pay off.
Realizing this problem, Ji Thief couldn't help but raised his head and sighed, and said: "Oh, after all, there is still a lack of talent."
Yi: "??? What do you mean, King?"
Ji thief waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay. Baihe Plain will be placed here first. Later support for Baihe Plain must be consistent with Tianling Fortress. As for the candidates to manage this place, we will wait a few years later."
Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Yeah."
The thief asked again: "Anything else besides these?"
Yi smiled and said: "There is also this year's wheat seed statistics. A total of more than 8,000 altars have been received. Previously, under the arrangement of Master Xue, they had all been cultivated. In addition, the White Bone Wasteland has opened up more than 20 pieces of cultivation. According to preliminary estimates, the harvest next year will support the cultivation and development of 26 territories."
The thief nodded. Although it was said that the wheat seed statistics should have been accurate four months ago, that is, the wheat was just harvested, but would it not be busy building the city? The logistics supply is all easy and busy. Under the circumstances, the progress of this matter was also pulled. Now that the construction of the city is completed, it is not too late for Yi to report the statistical data.
"What about fruits and vegetables?"
"There are also many fruits and vegetables harvested, which can fully meet the daily consumption of our Eastern Plains, Tianling Fortress, and White River Plain. Moreover, we can also allocate some territories to support various places."
Ji Zei was already happy from ear to ear, a good harvest, a good harvest.
"How's the situation on the ranch? When Brother Beastblood and the others left, they emptied all 80,000 prey in the ranch."
"Retrieved the news, the pasture has basically restored its previous heritage. The 8,000 prey has now recovered to the number of 30,000. Not to mention much, it can support the consumption of our tribe, the Tianling Fortress, and the Baihe Plain. There is still remaining. Basically, there is no big problem."
Hearing such good news from Yi's mouth, Ji thief couldn't help but close his mouth in joy, stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, and smiled: "Okay, okay. How about the tribal currency storage?"
Yi took out another piece of sackcloth from his arms, looked at it, and said, "The amount of money stored has been restored to three million. After investigation, the average amount of money stored in the hands of the tribesmen is around two thousand. Basically, it has been restored. It’s the scale before the Yiyong Gong and they left."
Ji Thief asked a few more questions, and the easy answers were very satisfying.
So, afterwards, Ji Zei couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and said: "It's been almost a year. Finally, our tribe has returned to its previous size. This year, it is not easy."
Yi Xin said, isn't it, the Great Duke of Beastblood and the others left, and the Lihuo tribe almost emptied their support.
At the hardest time, the tribe didn't have any money to pay the tribesmen, it was really empty.
This year has passed, and the Lihuo tribe has regained its vitality, not to mention, the construction is even better.
It's a joy to think about.
