Chapter 44

While everyone was busy moving the camp, Luo Ji took time to open the attribute panel and checked the newly unlocked industrial item...

Mining (Level 0): Mining efficiency increased by 10%.

This effect can be said to be concise and clear. He has earned two industrial points before, and now it is only three points. It is very unlikely that he wants to upgrade in a short time, and Luo Ji has basically not earned it in his mind. The idea of ​​industrial points can only be put aside for now.

However, even if the mining industry cannot be upgraded, he still has to dig this coal mine! Do you know how much wood you can save by burning a piece of coal? Although it was explained that on the Mirror Tribe, the logging team was cutting down trees every day in order to provide materials for the fortifications, but the wood collected by hand still could not support the consumption of all the fells.

In such cold weather, they dare not build more fires most of the time during the day, because they are worried that there will not be enough wood to heat them when it comes to cooking and at night.

Under this premise, whether the tribe members will get sick from the cold because the weather is too cold has become a worrying issue.

So far, the luck is relatively good. No one has suffered from any serious illness. Occasionally, when a few minor illnesses and coughs are found, Luo Ji will immediately let them rest, and then urge them to drink more hot water.

But a few days ago, he clearly realized that the temperature was gradually dropping, which made his worries even stronger. The coal mine he discovered now was just a timely rain for him! As long as this coal mine is mined, the tribe's heating problem can be alleviated to a large extent, if not completely solved.

However, while this problem was solved, there was a more troublesome problem before his eyes, and that was the mobilization of tribal manpower.

Fortifications, farming, and fishing were the three developments that the Mingjing tribe had invested the most manpower in. The importance of fortifications was no longer needed. No matter how Luo Ji moved, he would not move people from the fortifications.

As for farming and fishing, fishing is one of the most important and stable food sources for the Jingjing tribe. Obviously, it cannot be moved. After such a period of elimination, people can only be moved from the farming that has just begun to develop.

According to the white radish encyclopedia sent by Gao Su, if the white radish wants to bloom and plant seeds, it has to wait until after the beginning of spring. Even though the fertilization and cultivation of the fields cannot fall, it does not need too many people for the time being. The big deal is to slow down. Farming progress, less ploughing a few acres of land, a few more people are dispatched to dig coal.

And since a sub-city is to be established here, it must be managed by someone. Luo Ji subconsciously thinks of Zhou Tao. After all, Zhou Tao's talent has a bonus to development speed and a little livability. He is a quite suitable talent. .

Moreover, he just checked it out a few days ago. At present, Zhou Tao's loyalty has reached 85. This loyalty, in the civilization of other players, is already a great loyal minister of the good people, but on Luo Ji's side , which is a normal level, but anyway the chance of betrayal has been reduced to very small, Luo Ji is also wondering whether it is time for this Zhou Tao to show his light and heat.

Of course, there is another reason for so long. Among the people of the original Red Fox tribe, there are still many people whose loyalty hovers around 80. This makes Luo Ji wonder if it is because they have been staying with Zhou Tao. For the sake of being together, I just took this opportunity to move Zhou Tao farther away and let them separate, so that he could further reduce the influence of Zhou Tao, the former leader, and then brush up the loyalty of these people in one breath! At the same time, considering the safety issue, it would be better to send a few wolf warriors to stay here for a long time.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji couldn't help nodding secretly. He had already sorted out the candidates and development plans for the coal mine, and he was waiting to implement it...

Just when he was thinking about it, the transfer of the temporary camp here went quite smoothly. After all, there were only a few tents, so it was much faster to dismantle them than to set them up. On the side of the coal mine, the land was basically occupied by them, and it was still early. It was quite easy for them to rebuild the tent before dark.

Naturally, Luo Ji didn't intend to stay here any longer. The discovery of the coal mine required some adjustments and changes to his numerous development plans. How could he have the spare time to linger here?

Just in case, Luo Ji only let Luo Yong protect himself and return to the Jingjing tribe, and the others were temporarily stationed at the temporary camp. Although during this period, they were discovered by other enemies and even robbed the camp. It's small, but considering the importance of coal resources, we still have to be careful. We have already eaten the meat in our mouth, so we can't spit it out just because of one carelessness, right?

After half a day's journey, there was no danger along the way. The dusty two finally returned to the Mingjing tribe before the sun went down.

The return of the patriarch made Zhao Pan, the general defender of the city, secretly relieved. During Luo Ji's absence, the safety of the entire Mingjing tribe was directly on his shoulders. If he said that he was not nervous at all, it must be false. In fact, he was so nervous that he hadn't slept well for several days! In the end, Zhao Pan even felt that he was a little nervous. Now that Luo Ji is back, he can finally return this heavy burden.

Looking at Zhao Pan standing outside the tribal camp with a look of relief, Luo Ji's eyes flashed a glimpse of understanding, then smiled and patted Zhao Pan's shoulder, saying nothing.

Back at the camp, Luo Ji didn't take much rest. He drank a bowl of hot water to warm himself up, and then called someone to find Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao came quickly, got into the tent, looked at Luo Ji sitting cross-legged on the hide, Zhou Tao said respectfully, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"I plan to establish a branch city, and I want you to manage it." Luo Ji, who knew that Zhou Tao's loyalty was no problem, said straight to the point.

However, Zhou Tao, who heard this, was full of doubts, "Boss, what do you mean by 'dividing cities'?"

"Uh, do I have to start from here?" Well, he is also used to the backwardness of this ancient era.

He explained the concept of dividing cities in a simple and clear way. Zhou Tao is also a smart person with three stars in intelligence. He quickly understood what Luo Ji meant, and the expression on his face was both surprise and surprise.

Surprisingly, no one has ever proposed such a concept, and it is estimated that no one has ever done it. What is surprising is that he is the most junior in the tribe, and he is also the leader of the original Red Fox tribe. He never thought that Luo Ji would give him the task of managing the sub-city.

At this moment, a feeling of 'I am trusted' spontaneously arises, and Zhou Tao, who slowly exhaled a long breath and readjusted his mentality, couldn't help showing a bit of splendor in his eyes when he looked at Luo Ji.
