Initially, he had not planned to establish a sub city this early, but this coal mine resource was enough to change his mind.

Lu Yong, go to the temporary campsite and notify everyone.

Let us move the temporary campsite directly over here.

Which is more important, white radishes or the coal mine? There is no comparison at all.

He could directly dig up the white radishes and slowly plant them back at the Ming Jing tribe.

But could he dig up this coal mine and take it back? No.

then he could only build a sub city.

Chapter 44.

Candidate determined.

While everyone was busy relocating the camp, Lu G took a moment to open the attribute panel and glanced at the newly unlocked industrial project mining industry level zero mining efficiency increased by 10.

This effect was straightforward.

He had previously earned two industrial points and with this new point, he now had three.

It seemed unlikely that he could upgrade it in the short term.

And Luog didn't have much thought of earning industrial points, so he could only set it aside for now.

However, even if he couldn't upgrade the mining industry, he still needed to mine this coal.

Do you know how much we can be saved by burning a piece of coal? Although the lumber team in the Ming Jing tribe was cutting trees every day to provide materials for the defensive works, the wood they collected still couldn't meet the tribe's total consumption.

In such cold weather, they were afraid to light too many fires during the day because they worried there wouldn't be enough wood for heating when it came time to cook and at night.

Given this situation, weather tribe members would catch a cold and get sick due to the frigid temperatures became a concerning issue.

So far, they had been lucky and no one had contracted any serious illnesses.

Lu G would immediately let those who occasionally showed mild symptoms like coughing rest and urged them to drink more hot water.

However, he had clearly noticed that the temperature was gradually dropping over the past few days, which intensified his worries.

Discovering this coal mine was like a timely rain for him as long as they could extract coal, even if it couldn't completely solve the trib's heating problems.

It would significantly alleviate them.

However, while this issue was being resolved, another more troublesome problem arose.

The allocation of manpower in the tribe.

Defensive works, farming, and fishing were currently the three areas where the Ming Jing tribe invested the most manpower.

The importance of defensive works goes without saying, no matter how he shuffled things around, he wouldn't move people from there.

As for farming and fishing, fishing was one of the most important stable food sources for the Ming Jing tribe.

So, that couldn't be touched either.

By process of elimination, the only option left was to reallocate manpower from the farming which had just started developing.

According to the information from Gaus Su about white radishes, they wouldn't flower and produce seeds until spring.

Therefore, while fertilization and tilling couldn't be neglected, they temporarily didn't need too many hands.

At worst, they could slow down the farming progress till a few less acres and allocate a few more people to mine coal.

Since they needed to establish a sub city here, they definitely had to find someone to manage it.

Luog instinctively thought of Zhao.

After all, Zhao had a talent that provided a development speed bonus and increased livability, making him a quite suitable candidate.

Moreover, just a few days ago, he had happened to check's loyalty, which had reached 85.

In other player civilizations, this loyalty would be considered that of a good citizen and loyal minister.

But for Lu Gi, it was just average.

Nonetheless, the chance of betrayal had been reduced significantly.

So, Lu G was contemplating whether it was time for Zhao to shine.

Of course, another reason was that many of the original members of the Red Fox tribe had loyalty hovering around 80.

This made Luo Gi suspect that it might be due to their prolonged association with Zhao.

Taking this opportunity to distance Zhao Tao a bit could help him further reduce the influence of this former leader and boost the loyalty of those people all at once.

At the same time, considering security issues, he could send a few wolf warriors to garrison this area longterm.

With this in mind, Lu G nodded to himself.

He had nearly organized the candidates and development plans for the coal mine, and now he just needed to implement them.

While he was thinking this, the relocation of the temporary camp was proceeding quite smoothly.

After all, there were only a few tents, so it was much faster to dismantle them than to set them up.

They then simply moved their belongings to the coal mine, effectively claiming the land.

Since it was still early, they had ample time to set up the tents again before dark.

Naturally, Lu Gi didn't plan to stay there any longer.

The discovery of the coal mine required him to make corresponding adjustments and changes to his development plans, leaving no time to dole.

To be safe, he only let Luo Yong protect him on the way back to the Ming Jing tribe, while the others temporarily stayed at the temporary camp.

Although the likelihood of being discovered by other enemies or having this camp taken over was very low considering the importance of the coal resources, it was better to be cautious.

After all, they couldn't spit out the meat they had already bitten into just because of a moment of carelessness.

The journey took half a day, and nothing dangerous happened along the way.

The two of them finally returned to the Ming Jing tribe before sunset, dusty and weary.

The return of the chief relieved Xiaoan, the city defense general, who had been carrying the security of the entire Ming Jing tribe on his shoulders during Luo Gi's absence.

It would be a lie to say he hadn't felt any tension.

In reality, he had been so nervous that he hadn't slept well for several days.

In the end, Ziaopan even felt a bit neurotic.

Now that Lu Gi was back, he could finally hand this heavy burden back.

Seeing Xiao Pan standing outside the tribes camp with a relieved expression, Lu Gi understood and smiled as he patted Ziao Pan on the shoulder.

Everything was unspoken but understood.

Back at the camp, Lu Gi didn't rest much.

After drinking a bowl of hot water to warm himself up, he called someone to find Joe Tao.

Zhao Tao arrived quickly.

Entering the tent and seeing Luo Gi sitting cross-legged on the animal skin.

He respectfully spoke.

Chief, you called for me.

I plan to establish a sub city and would like you to manage it.

Without beating around the bush, Luog directly stated.

Knowing that Zhaot's loyalty was not an issue.

However, upon hearing this, Zhao's face was filled with confusion.

Chief, what do you mean by subsidy? Uh, do we have to start from here? All right, I guess I've gotten used to the backwardness of this ancient era.

Luog simply and clearly explained the concept of a sub city.

Zhao being an intelligent person with a three-star intellect, quickly understood Luog G's meaning.

His expression a mix of surprise and unexpectedness.

He was surprised because no one had ever proposed such a concept before and likely no one had done it.

He was also surprised that as one of the least experienced members of the tribe and the former leader of the Red Fox tribe, he never expected Lu Gi would assign him the task of managing the sub city.

At that moment, a feeling of being trusted welled up inside him, slowly exhaling a long breath and readjusting his mindset.

Zhaot's gaze towards Luo G revealed a hint of brilliance.

Chapter 45.

New tribe and new development.

As for the personnel accompanying you this time, I have already selected them at the location where the sub city needs to be established.

There are currently seven wolf warriors and three ordinary soldiers stationed there.

I will have them leave a portion behind to ensure the safety of the sub city.

Without further ado, Logic directly spread out the map and pointed out the location where the sub city needs to be established, which is this area.

Once the sub city is established, your main task will be to mine this type of coal.

As he spoke, Logic placed a piece of coal he had brought back in front of Zhao.

Zhao instinctively picked up the black stone in front of him, only to realize the next moment that his hands were stained with a noticeable black color from touching it.

What is this? This is called coal, an important fuel source.

In simple terms, it can be used to replace wood for making fire.

The wolf warriors stationed there will explain the specifics to you.

At this point, Logic took a sip of water and paused to catch his breath.

As for the tools needed for mining coal, I will have someone prepare them and send them over as soon as possible.

You don't need to worry about food.

I will send a few people to deliver food to the sub city every few days and bring back the mine coal to the Ming Jing tribe.

Of course, if any accidents happen and it comes to an absolute necessity.
