Chapter 346 Work Begins
On the Dashan side, the recruitment mission was completed very smoothly.
Considering the food pressure, for primitive tribes of this era, if they could gather seventy or eighty people, they would be considered a very powerful tribe without mastering farming skills.
If you want to expand your tribe to more than a hundred people, you have to rely on some additional means, such as collecting protection fees like the Barbarian Stone Tribe.
In essence, it means asking the surrounding weak tribes to help them feed the extra population.
In the long run, their own tribe will become stronger and stronger, while the surrounding tribes that are exploited by them will become weaker and weaker.
There are no local tyrants like the Manshi tribe in the mountains here. Under this premise, relying on the threat of swords, in many cases, even if the opponents have the advantage in numbers, they are no match for them.
The enemies on the other side are all holding stone or bone weapons, and you may not be able to kill anyone even after hacking for a long time.
You, on the other hand, swung your sword and chopped them one by one, blood was flowing, who wouldn't be scared? Basically, after one round of chopping, the rest of the people were scared out of their wits.
Knowing that time was running out, Shi Lei acted quickly after capturing the prisoners. He sent batches of prisoners to Salt Lake Village and Black Moon Village to work as laborers at almost the highest efficiency.
Once the coolies arrive and work for a while, and they become familiar with the process and the labor force they can provide becomes stable, the original labor force can be freed up.
Zhou Xu, who was in Black Moon Village at the time, became furious and immediately recruited fifty new soldiers.
In terms of the number of people recruited in a single time, this was definitely his biggest move. Having already recruited a batch of new soldiers before, he now recruited another batch, and even more. It is not difficult to see how much pressure the Lizardmen brought to him.
By the time this batch of new soldiers was recruited, the snowstorm on the grassland had already passed.
Looking at the sky with only a few scattered snowflakes floating there, Silk and the others all looked a little dazed.
Even now, he still couldn't believe it.
Snowstorm! As the biggest natural disaster on their grassland in winter, they overcame it so easily.
Of course, Caoyuan Village did not suffer no losses in the face of this natural disaster.
After a period of recuperation, Silk, who is now able to move freely to a certain extent, can clearly see that many of the houses that were originally neatly arranged in the village have collapsed in the blizzard.
The surrounding villagers had a clear division of labor, some were busy shoveling snow, and some were busy cleaning up the ruins.
During the period when the snowstorm swept through, the villagers rested in their houses every day. They had already rested enough and are now working very efficiently.
There is a period of time between the time the villagers start their morning work and the time before they have breakfast, and during this period of time, most of the snow in the village has been cleared away.
Silk, who witnessed the whole process, was stunned.
In the same situation, it would take at least five days for their elf village to clear the snow in the village.
This is actually related to their racial nature. The character of the elves tends to go with the flow and enjoy life.
Humans may be particular about or even pursue efficiency in something, but elves do not. They have a long life to squander slowly.
So when a less urgent task is placed in front of them, they tend to prefer to do it today and a little tomorrow, finishing the task over several days, and basically will not choose to add work pressure to themselves.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that every winter, after the village is destroyed in a snowstorm, they spend almost half a year rebuilding the village in the new year...
In this way, it is conceivable how huge an impact the work efficiency demonstrated by the villagers of Prairie Village at this moment has brought to Silk.
"Don't be in a daze, take the plate here."
Seeing Silk staring into the distance in a daze, Drogo couldn't help but urge him.
After Silk is discharged from the hospital, he will obviously have to stay in their grassland village for a long time, so he needs someone to help him get familiar with the life here.
At this critical juncture, everyone in the grassland village was very busy and no one had the time to spare, so in the end the job fell on Drogo.
Theoretically speaking, Drogo can also be considered a guest of theirs.
But after being here for a long time, he had unknowingly become half one of them. When Ye Jinghong assigned this task to him, Zhuo Ge didn't even think it was strange and agreed to it without thinking.
Now he took Silk to familiarize himself with the process starting from breakfast. He acted very familiar with the whole process, just like a local villager.
On the contrary, Silk didn't seem too surprised by Drogo's performance throughout the whole process.
As early as when the three parties joined forces to fight, he had actually seen that Li Ce and Zhuo Ge and the others were basically a group.
After picking up the food tray, Silk followed Drogo and lined up here.
The line was already quite long at this moment. At a glance, it was basically all humans, with a few centaurs and him, the only prairie elf.
The food window in the kitchen hadn't been opened yet, but the aroma of food wafting from inside had already made everyone waiting in line outside feel extremely hungry, even Silk was no exception.
Since it was the first day of work after a snowstorm, in order to motivate everyone, the kitchen attached great importance to the first meal after work, and the dishes were much better than usual.
Silk, who had always eaten the patient meals brought by the medical staff in the ward before, was eating in the cafeteria for the first time. He looked at the food in front of him and subconsciously sniffed hard.
The tempting aroma made his saliva secrete quickly. Needless to say, Silk soon joined the army of people who were busy eating.
To be honest, he already thought the previous hospital meal was delicious, but compared to the cafeteria breakfast in front of him, Silk could only say, "What is that?"
Normally, the elves don't eat much. The medical staff noticed this when taking care of them, and the portions of sick meals given to the grassland elves were smaller.
But the cafeteria attendant doesn't know this, so he just serves the normal portion anyway.
In the end, it was eaten up by Silk.
Silk touched his obviously bulging stomach in disbelief. He really didn't expect that he could eat so much.
After breakfast, Li Ce and Zhou Chongshan rode their war horses and prepared to leave the village with a cavalry team of ten people.
Seeing this, Silk ran over quickly.
"Are you guys leaving the village? Take me with you!"
