In winter, there is basically no population movement, so statistics are more convenient and the data obtained are more accurate.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Yue received the latest demographic report.
According to the data in the report, Yuyang County now has a population of 140,000, which is 20,000 more than the last rough calculation of less than 120,000.
Among the 20,000, except for the more than 6,000 victims, the rest were all merged from the surrounding villages and towns of Yuyang County.
The power of Xu Jiajun is getting bigger and bigger, and the reputation of dividing fields and land is getting better and better, which will naturally attract many people to join voluntarily, and the population will also increase.
Especially this winter, the lives of the people throughout Youzhou were not as good as in previous years. Many people migrated from the remote western and southeastern Liaoning to Yuyang, and many of them finally chose to join the Xu Family Army.
During this season, natural disasters occur frequently and the climate is unpredictable. Daqing, which is based on farming, can only rely on the weather. Once various abnormal weather occurs and agricultural output drops sharply, many people will not be able to eat and survive.
While the population report data in Xu Yue's hands is increasing, it also means that the population in other places other than Yuyang is declining.
It's just that they can't reach too far now to calculate the population situation of other states and counties this year, so they don't know what the situation is in other states and counties this year.
But that's not the point. The point is that after getting this data report, the technology tree above Xu Yue's laboratory has thirteen more red energy fruits!
Why thirteen?
Xu Yue fell into deep thought.
Previously, six thousand victims received six energy fruits, which is equivalent to one thousand people for one.
So now the total is less than 20,000 more, which should be nineteen. Nineteen minus six, there are still thirteen, which is just right.
Moreover, she personally received the statistical list of the more than 6,000 disaster victims at that time, and the remaining additional population was the specific data obtained after this count.
In other words, if you want to exchange human heads for energy fruits, you must first conduct statistics.
Thinking of this level, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel helpless at the rigor of the technology tree.
But in this way, there is another channel to obtain energy fruits. Otherwise, the progress will be too slow just by grinding knowledge points.
With a new way to obtain energy, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel a little itchy when she looked at the technology tree in the research room filled with red energy fruits.
God knows how hard she had to endure not to use these energy fruits.
What she fears most is that the technology tree will randomly deduct her energy fruits, so before each exchange, Xu Yue has to negotiate the 'price' with the technology tree before redeeming it.
Now that she suddenly learned that human heads could be exchanged for energy fruits, Xu Yue suddenly felt like she had become rich overnight and couldn't wait to exchange for something.
She is actually not very reassured that the energy fruit is stored here. This technology tree can be updated without her knowing it. Who knows if it will suddenly disappear one day?
People are still alive, but their money is gone. How miserable must this be?
Xu Yue immediately went home and called her parents, brothers and sisters back, and the whole family discussed how to spend money... No, it's energy fruit!
Hearing that Xu Yue wanted to spend the energy fruit, the four of them looked at each other and were a little excited.
Xu Da asked tentatively: "Can you change the food to something we haven't tasted before? For example, my dear, the Coke you talk about every day..."
Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the remaining people lit up and they all looked at Xu Yue, with longing written on their faces.
Although they may not know what Coke is, they know it is a good thing after hearing Xu Yue talk about it every day.
Xu Yue felt the expectant gazes of her family members, and couldn't help but feel moved, so she asked tentatively: "Then I can exchange an energy fruit for some Coke first?"
Xu Da, Xu Erniang, and Xu Dalang nodded wildly, "Okay, okay, okay!"
But Wang Pingping reminded, "If it's too expensive, I won't replace it. You should first ask the price of the tree."
Yes, now the whole family knows that Xu Yue can bargain with the technology tree.
Although I haven't seen one energy fruit missing from the technology tree, haggling will give you an inexplicable sense of psychological satisfaction.
Xu Yue nodded heavily, and with the expectations of the whole family, she discussed with the technology tree. After a lot of fussing, she finally got an offer of one energy fruit in exchange for five bottles of Coke.
The value calculation of the technology tree has always been a mystery. Xu Yue has been doing transactions with it for so long, and she only knows that one-time non-renewable things are cheap, while sustainable development is expensive.
But if we compare ten bicycles with five bottles of Coke, it would be a blood loss!
However, we are happy that money cannot buy it. Five bottles of Coke are just one bottle for each person. When the exciting bubbles bubble up in the mouth and bring a moment of joy in the throat, Xu Yue feels that this is really worth it!
"How wonderful, how wonderful it is that there is such a delicious wine at this time!" Xu took a big sip and drank most of the bottle, exclaiming in surprise and letting out a bubbly burp of satisfaction.
Xu Yue was always thinking about Coca-Cola in her dreams. At this moment, her dream became closer to reality. She was so happy that she almost shed tears. She nodded in agreement with her father.
Maybe it's because of the different tastes. Xu Erniang and Wang Pingping are more calm and think it tastes good, but it's not amazing.
Xu Dalang was different. He flattened the bottle in one breath. After drinking, he looked at Xu Yue eagerly, "I still want..."
"Next time." Xu Yue coaxed, patting her brother's big head. As for the half bottle left in her hand, it belongs to her, and she won't give it to anyone who wants it!
Xu Dalang could only look pitifully at the half bottle of Coke left by Xu Yue, thinking in his mind how he could take another sip.
Xu Erniang looked on with amusement and handed over the rest of her own, "Here, drink mine."
Xu Dalang looked at her warily, as if he couldn't believe it. After all, the brother and sister had never been so in love with each other. It was considered good that they didn't cripple each other.
"Do you want it? Don't push it down. I'll keep it for myself and drink it slowly..."
"want!"
Before Xu Erniang could finish her words, Xu Dalang stretched out his long arm and took all the Cokes in her hand.
He also smelled it to make sure that Xu Erniang had not poisoned it and was not trying to trick him, so he picked it up and enjoyed it slowly.
Xu Erniang saw these little tricks and couldn't help but whisper: "Can there be more trust between people?"
"I'm not a human being, and neither are you." Xu Dalang retorted seriously.
Xu Erniang was speechless for a moment. Zombies are indeed not human, but doesn't she, a majestic magician, count as a human?
Xu Da, who was watching the whole process, was inspired and tried to reach out to Wang Pingping, "Don't you like drinking? It's okay. Leave it to my husband. I will help you solve it so that you don't waste it."
Wang Pingping raised her hand and slapped her, "Who said I don't like it? I can't keep it for myself and have to give it to you?"
