Like other pig villages, Fanggucheng is short of food.

The reason why the city lord Yuan Tu racked his brains to bring people to join the army of Iron Tooth to attack Panshi Village was not because he was confused, but because he needed to obtain spoils through war and maintain his rule.

If a person's daily food supply standard is calculated as a percentage, the per capita index of the pig tribe in Fanggucheng can only reach 60% at most. Moreover, this number is only for middle-aged men, women, elderly people, and children, and will also be ranked in the order of group importance within the tribe.

These things are not secrets to Tianhao. The intelligence department that was deployed early collects information from all aspects.

Yuantu led his troops to take away a considerable portion of the stored grain from the city, and everyone was looking forward to his victory back.

They may not be familiar with what the King of Steel Tooth looks like, after all, it is the king who is tall and the City of Steel Tooth is far away from here. But the city lord is different. He grew up here since childhood. Even as a nobleman, the narrow circle of activities destined to be familiar with him. As the head frozen into ice spreads from the crowd, cries came faintly, people's faces became deeper and their sad expressions became heavier.

Many people were hesitating, and more people made the same decision as women. They walked out one after another, knelt in front of Tianhao, and made a bloody oath in a familiar way.

Tianhao sat upright on the stage, as stable as Mount Tai.

This is the case with war between tribes. As long as you ensure that you get enough benefits, no one will stick to your belief and resist to the end. To put it bluntly, no one will regard himself as an outsider. Everyone belongs to the northern barbarians and is a whole with different totems. This is two completely different concepts from fighting against the southern whites. The north and the south are external disputes, and the tribes are internal conflicts.

It took more than three hours to sort the whole line. Just after noon, the huge crowd slowly left the square as ordered, left the city they were familiar with and lived in, and headed towards the Panshi Village in the distance.

There is almost no plunder worth plundering in Fanggu City.

There is no animal skin, the amount of food is not large, and there is no precious metal... The hungry pigs took out everything for exchange, and they were so poor that they were even worse than beggars.

The most valuable existence here is population.

This is also one of the reasons why Tianhao decided to take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale attack on the steel teeth.

A tribe that is extremely poor is not scary. This means that they do not have excellent weapons and do not have enough food to store food for a long time. As long as they break through one of the points, the overall situation will collapse completely like a destruction.

But the poor and crazy people of the Pig tribe are also very terrible. Because they have nothing, they are willing to do anything in order to survive.

Such a force must be in your own hands.

There are eight thousand one hundred and three people, which are the numbers that Black Teeth counts one by one and then reports to Tianhao.

Nodded, Tianhao filtered the number directly in his mind. He pressed Black Teeth's shoulder hard, and this action dispelled most of Black Teeth's anxiety: "Take them with you, Panshi Village will become their new home."

Some people will definitely take the opportunity to escape on the road. The current numbers cannot be accurate, and there must be less than that of the people who arrived in Panshi Village in the end.

Tianhao turned around and looked at Heiyao: "I have to thank you for your help. Without you, more people would have died in this battle, and fewer people would have survived."

Black-tooth's face turned red. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.

"I know what you are thinking." Tianhao comforted seriously: "This is not betrayal. You are a member of the Niu tribe, my brother. Speaking of which, you helped most of the people in Fanggu City. Yuantu died and Tiechi died. If you don't follow us, many people will starve to death this winter."

A bitter smile appeared on Black Tooth's face, and his eyes felt moist, and something indescribable was rolling in his heart.

He felt sorry for his former fellow tribe.

However, the oath cannot be violated.

If we were not really at the dilemma of desperateness, no one would be able to experience the dilemma at both ends. We must find out and choose one of them from the depths of many morals.

In this world, not everything can be given up.

But sometimes, you have to give up.

Suddenly, Black Teeth spread her arms, hugged Tianhao's shoulders tightly, and cried like a child.

The long-standing grievance and fear were fully released at this moment.

Although this scene seems funny to others: Black-toothed body is tall, one head taller than Tianhao, and the relationship between relying on and being relied on is completely reversed, which looks extremely inconsistent.

Tian Hao waved his hand gently and patted Black Too's back, letting out a slow and low sigh.

"It's okay, it's not embarrassing to cry."

"I understand...I understand..."

"Now, let's go home!"

...

Overall, the return journey was quite smooth.

In order to calm people's hearts, Tianhao ordered food distribution to all pig people according to normal supply standards.

There is no problem with eating, but the quality of the food cannot meet the same standards as that of the Panshizhai Battle Group. These foods come from the Fanggucheng Warehouse, and the people of the Pig tribe have long been used to it.

Four escape incidents occurred along the way, killing more than 300 people.

Not every surrender is willing to swear, and Tianhao would not force everyone to make a bloody oath when he was in Fanggu City. If he really wanted to identify it in any way, there would be fewer people following the brigade, and I'm afraid there would be less than the average number now.

There were about 7,700 pig people in Fanggu City who arrived at Panshi Village.

When Tianhao was away, Tianfeng became the acting leader. He hurried to the outside of the village to greet him, brought groups of pigs in and placed them one by one.

"Three, why are you so late? Tiankuang and Yonggang came back two days ago." Tianfeng grabbed Tianhao's hand, looked up and down, and asked worriedly: "Nothing happened to you, right? Are you injured?"

Tianhao's smile showed a sense of relief from the heart. For more than a month, he felt that the heavy burden on his back was finally able to put it down for the first time: "Fang Gucheng is the farthest target of attack in the plan. It's okay, I'm fine. Brother, how is the situation in the village now?"

Tianfeng said as he walked, and he looked solemn: "There are too many people. Even Lizhai, Shuangdui Village, Qianxing Village, and Quanyu Village are all here. In addition to the group you brought back today, the total number of people exceeds 18,000."

"Is the second brother and the others' casualties serious?" This is another focus of Tianhao's concern.

"Not big. Before the war started, you had a very accurate estimate of the form. Yonggang and Tiankuang followed the reserve plan. The pig people left behind in the four villages were the same as you thought: the leader of the village and the men who could fight were dead, and the rest were women and the elderly. As long as you promised to give them enough food and clothes and have a few full meals, you would be willing to follow them."

Speaking of this, Tianfeng lowered his volume and gritted his teeth: "Third brother, we don't have much food left. There are so many people coming in all at once, I'm really afraid something will happen!"

"Don't worry about the food problem, at least it can be maintained until next summer." Tianhao had a plan for this: "Zumu's caravan is buying large quantities of food from the tiger tribe and the lion tribe, especially the lion tribe. As long as there is no problem with peat supply, they can sell us dried taro and cornmeal at any time."

"In addition, it's the fish in the sea. I thought about it on the way. Hei Ya and his team performed well this time, and they could give him some power to speed up the construction of ships in the fishing grounds. The existing fishing boats are working several shifts back and forth, so that those trained pig people can take turns to rest, but the boat cannot stop. As long as there are fish, we will not be short of food."

Tianfeng was still worried: "Third brother, if we do this, will all the fish in the sea be caught by us?"

Hearing this sentence, a strange look appeared on Tianhao's face. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only hold it in.

In the civilized era, anyone with a little common sense knows that this kind of thing is simply impossible.

With the pig people captured from various villages in the Steel-Gaomen, the population of Panshi Village reached 25,000. Compared with the huge population base of more than one billion in Eastern countries in the civilized era, it is as small as the sand at the foot of a mountain.

Not to mention a mere Panshi Village, even if it supplies the entire cattle tribe, the fish in the sea will not be extinct due to fishing.

"Don't worry, that won't happen." He comforted Tianfeng: "There is nothing wrong with the surrounding villages during this period, right?"

"Yonggang came back early, I heard him say it." Tianfeng understood what Tianhao said: "Yi Luo and the others definitely did not send the news to Leijiao City. Changfeng came back and took the people away. I arranged horses for them, and the route was also taken separately as you said. I guess the king has received the news and is rushing to our side... After you left, I arranged thirty sermons around the village. When I found out that the situation, I lit firewood and set off cigarettes... Don't worry, everything is safe. Pinglin Village and Zhangpu Village have also sent people to ask if they need help."

Tianhao finally felt relieved.

His smile showed fatigue: "Brother, you're so worried. I have to go and have a good sleep. For so many days... I'm almost sleepy."

...

Food is like a good medicine, slowly soothes the fearful hearts of the pigs.

The amount of food distributed every day is not large, just enough to eat. The variety is simple, and most of the time it is fish soup, with chunks of fish, and the amount of noodles and cured meat is small, and there are vegetables.

The cattle people have always used cellars to store vegetables in winter. Large-scale cabbage has sufficient harvest before winter. After Tianhao took charge of Panshi Village, he taught people to pickle sauerkraut in clay pots and salt. This has barely increased the variety of food supply, making the monotonous menu barely understandable.

The living space in Panshi Village has become crowded again.

Tianhao ordered a comprehensive adjustment of the population structure in the village.

A large number of pig men were arranged to enter the mine to dig peat. In addition to supplying goods to caravans far away from other tribes, they also had to provide fuel to the brick kiln next to the village to burn more bricks.

It is difficult to go up the mountain to quarry in winter, but the current situation forces people to make changes. Tianhao sent a team to patrol the surrounding area to ensure that the road between the quarry and the village is unobstructed; every day, people clear the snow on this road, so that the livestock trucks that transport stones can travel back and forth normally. Finally, all people entering the mountain to quarry provide double rations.

As the piles of cloth were distributed, the warehouse was completely emptied.

These two standards are Tianhao's specific policy guidelines and are also the basis for consolidating his prestige.

For the conquerors, the pigs must have anger and hatred, some must have wanted revenge, and some must have not obeyed management honestly.

Tianhao was not surprised by this. He still followed the old method before, divided all the pig people into teams, and selected ten and hundreds of them. Based on the team, the cumulative results of their respective labor sub-items are compared. The winning party is rewarded, and the daily supply of the team ranked last is slightly reduced. As long as there is work and a lot of physical energy is consumed, fatigue will become the best assistant to suppress brain thinking. Especially under the premise of appropriately improving the quality of life, anger and hatred will gradually shrink, and there is a high probability that they will be replaced with good expectations for the future.

The Niu people in the village were not idle, and no one could stand tall. They were assigned to various pig people teams, and according to Tianhao's intention, they completely retelled the original words he had said.

"We are all a family."

"Don't talk about the Pig and Cattle tribes, we are actually brothers."

"Look at the brothers from the Koushan Village, they came here very early, and the same goes for Miquan Village and Liankang Village. They lived a good life here, with food and clothes to wear. To be honest, having a good leader like Ahao is a blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes."

The quality of a leader is directly related to the living standards of ordinary people.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is true. Take Fang Gucheng as an example. Yuantu has been the city lord for so many years, and everyone has to hire him to work hard every year. He doesn’t bring much things back, and he has to give a large part of them to the king.

"You are stupid! You have handed over the food you have earned with hard work, and raised the royal army in the Steel-Tasting City for nothing. Those people are chubby and fat. In the end, they will not help you in any event. Do you think this is the reason?"

...It seems to be.

If you think about it carefully, the more you think this idea becomes, the more you feel deeply.

A large number of examples in the civilized era have long proved that ideological and political work has extremely important effects on stabilizing people's hearts.

Tianhao established the position of "Political Commissar" within the battle group. As a large number of pig people were injected into Panshi Village, this special group was also expanding.

Qunya was stunned by the changes coming from around her.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that as many as tens of thousands of pigs had changed their attitudes in just a few days, from resisting to accepting, and integrating into Panshi Village at a terrible speed.

Just because there is food to eat?

Just because you have clothes to wear?
