Original War

Chapter 400-Thousand-Gold Planting

The weather became warmer and the air was moist, but when the sun came out, the moistness disappeared.

Shao Xuan took the small bag of millet down the mountain and went to the field designated by the tribe to discuss with someone.

A few days ago, he asked the old man in the tribe who was good at farming, and today he plans to take the millet to the old man to see and seek some opinions and suggestions.

Farming Shao Xuan knows, but after coming to this world, he doesn’t know most of the plants, because these have never appeared in another world at all. Not only that, coming to this world, in the past few years, it’s hard to get acquainted with it. Shao Xuan became “eye blind” again after coming to this continent. Although he has some knowledge, the main crops here are somewhat different from what Shao Xuan is familiar with, and there are also some growth habits. A very big difference, Shao Xuan can only ask for advice from experienced people.

Most of the tribe’s fields are at the bottom of the mountain, from the mountainside down to the foot of the mountain, a piece of land is demarcated, and each piece is planted by several families. As for how to distribute it after planting, the tribe doesn’t care.

Shao Xuan came to the field near the foot of the mountain. On the side of the field sat an old woman full of silver threads. Her name was Qiqi and her mother was from the Taihe tribe. The Taihe tribe is better than the Yanjiao tribe in planting, and they have a better grasp of many technologies, so Qiqi himself has a better understanding of planting. People who are busy in this field often ask her if they have questions.

“Here.” Qi Qi saw Shao Xuan and quickly got up. In many tribes, people of higher status must be respectfully saluted. Yanjiao also has such etiquette on important occasions, but it is usually more casual.

Qi Qi obviously still felt that Elder had to salute Shao Xuan, but she was stopped by Shao Xuan when she got up.

Shao Xuan didn’t say much, he took out the bag directly, poured out a few grains in it, and said to Qi Qi, “Look at this.”

Qi Qi’s attention shifted to the dark golden grains in Shao Xuan’s hands. This is the millet she has never seen before.

After taking a closer look, Qi Qi shook his head: “This is the first time I have seen this kind of millet. Is this what you mean by’thousand grains of gold’?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Shao Xuan told Qiqi about the place where he found a thousand grains of gold. Therefore, after thinking about it, Qiqi suggested that Shao Xuan find a place similar to the place where he found it. It is safer. No one knows such a plant. What is your favorite growing environment? All kinds of plants, some like sun, some like shade, some like dampness, and some like drought, cannot be generalized.

“But, Elder, you can also plant a little in each place, and then see which place grows well, and then plant it in that place.” Thinking of Shao Xuan saying that these millet is extremely rare and very precious, Qiqi The words paused again.

Since it is rare and precious, how can she waste it like she tries other seeds? Just looking at the dark golden grains in Shao Xuan’s hands, Qi Qi felt itchy in her heart. For such precious grains that she had never seen before, she also wanted to try planting them. As a person who has been engaged in farming since she was a child, the attractiveness of these grains is quite great. Even if she hasn’t eaten them before, she can give a rough assessment by just carefully observing and smelling the smell of the grains.

It’s really attractive!

But Shao Xuan is Elder, and these grains are very precious, so she is not easy to ask for it.

Perceiving Qiqi’s sight, Shao Xuan thought about a thousand grains in his hand, and counted a hundred to Qiqi: “If you are free, can you help me plant these grains?”

For a person with rich experience like Qiqi, letting her help plant it also saves Shao Xuan a lot of things, which is better than Shao Xuan tossing around.

When Qi Qi heard this, he quickly promised: “Yes, you can! Elder rest assured, I will do my best!”

Speaking of Qiqi took out a cloth bag, carefully took the 100 grains from Shao Xuan, and put it into the bag. She decided to discuss with several farmers, and then implement the plan. If the planting is successful, she will definitely get more benefits from Shao Xuan. However, for Qiqi herself, the most important thing is that she can try to plant such a rare thing, which will give her a sense of accomplishment.

After giving the millet to Qiqi, Shao Xuan looked at the busy people in the field. They used many types of farming tools, such as farming, watering, harvesting, threshing, etc. Many of them were slave owners from Liubu Zhucheng. What I learned there is very important in plowing, planting, plowing, processing, and so on. Most of these farm tools are made of wood and stone. It is said that the slave owners used copperware, but in the tribe. Everyone is reluctant to use it. Stones and animal bones are also good to replace.

After watching for a while, Shao Xuan went back to find some materials, slightly improved the farm tools everyone used, and made plows so that everyone could open up farmland.

The plough made by Shao Xuan was a bit simpler than the plan due to the limitation of the tools. It was also made of wood and stone composite. After several attempts, it was improved and perfected again, making the plough lighter and easier to turn around. The operation is simple, and the flexibility is also satisfactory. In this way, the efficiency of farming will also be improved.

After making it, Shao Xuan went to show the farmers and taught them how to use it.

Perhaps the slave owners already had similar farming tools, but it was the first time for the people in the tribe to see it. While feeling fresh, they were also very happy. When Shao Xuan brought the plow, everyone surrounded them.

“Elder, what is this?”

“Can this be used for farming?” Everyone was curious.

The plow is an agricultural tool for plowing the land. Generally speaking, it is tied to the livestock that pulls it, such as cattle. However, there is no domesticated farmland and livestock here, it can only be pulled by manpower.

Fortunately, the Yanjiao tribe has a lot of manpower, not inferior to the cattle, and can easily get started.

“That’s it. Use it to break the soil and plow the trench. During this time, everyone is busy preparing for planting. This plow should make it easier for everyone.”

After the demonstration, Shao Xuan gave the plow to others to try.

Many people wanted to try, but it was a pity that they were finally snatched by Qi Ling’s granddaughter Ji Ling.

Ji Ling is only 15 or 16 years old, at the age of a delicate flower, and has already awakened the power of totem. She only came back from hunting a few days ago. Now it is not her turn to patrol, she is idle, so she comes to help Qiqi. Thinking of meeting Shao Xuan with a plow, he squeezed his sleeves and squeezed the others around, and started to pull like Shao Xuan. Another middle-aged woman cooperated in the back.

Probably hitting a rock in the ground, Ji Ling stopped for a while, and without a knife, he directly reached out and dug out a winter-big rock in the ground. He didn’t look much at all. He threw the rock far away. .

Shao Xuan saw the big stone of winter melon, tracing an arc in the sky, flying over the river in front of the tribe, and falling far into the forest outside the tribe, shocking a few flying birds. Turning his head to look at the ground again, Ji Ling was pulling the plow while sharing his feelings with the hunting team comrades who were gearing up next to him.

Shao Xuan: “…”

This place of the tribe is really a woman like a man, and a man like a fierce beast.

Those who are usually busy in the fields are not all people who have not awakened the power of totems. Many coolie jobs are done by totem warriors. After all, hunting and rotation are not every day. Like Ji Ling, it seems to Shao Xuan. Ordinary young girls will go to work like other people.

In the tribe, there are two kinds of people, one is the weak group without the power of the awakening totem, and the other is the warrior with the power of the awakening totem.

Many people are busy planting this season. Only now did Shao Xuan know that in addition to the fields in the tribe, outside the tribe, in the forest on the other side of the river, some people are also planting it, but it is different from the fine planting in the tribe, in the forest. Everyone grows more casually, using the primitive fire-scorching stick farming method.

First cut down those weeds, rattans, shrubs, etc. in the forest, and then set them on fire. When the land is wet after the rain, do not plow or dig, and then plant them. The burned grass and trees become fertilizer for these seeds.

When planting seeds, the person who walks in front uses a spear or other tool to poke a hole on the ground, and the person behind will point the seed into the hole. After planting, I didn’t manage much. I only visited occasionally to take a look or drive away birds and beasts. Anyway, their main source of food was hunting, followed by the fields within the tribe. As for those outside the tribe, they just spent their free time. Time is only, as long as the harvest is more than the broadcast, it is very satisfying. When the things that will be planted are harvested, people will change places, and the land that was originally planted will be left unused and will wait a few years or longer before planting again. There is a lot of land here, and they can afford it.

Not in the field, nor outside the tribe, Shao Xuan simply enclosed a 70-year-old open space with a wooden fence behind the house. After initial preparation of the ground, he planted a hundred seeds.

Thousand grains of gold was found on the top of the mountain. Shao Xuan’s current place is on the mountain, not far from the top. Although the mountain is not high, it is not safe to let Shao Xuanzhong go to other mountains. There are too many birds and beasts on other mountains, and it is impossible for Shao Xuan to keep staring.

Mountains in different locations have different climate and geology, but Shao Xuan didn’t think too much, he just tried it. Speaking of which, he didn’t have much interest in the planting of thousand-grain gold, and he was not obsessed with it. It’s natural to plant it. If he can’t plant it, he will cook the remaining grain and eat it. After so long, he should be able to continue eating.

After a while, the seeds planted in the ground behind Shao Xuan’s house germinated. Of the 100 seeds, more than half had germinated. Shao Xuan was very satisfied with this.

But when Shao Xuan was called by Qiqi, he found that most of the millet planted by Qiqi and the others had grown two to three leaves, one hundred grains, and the survival rate was over 90%. It’s much better than Shao Xuan’s backyard.

Worthy of old experience.

Shao Xuan was also happy to see those seedlings. No matter who planted them, he could live as long as he could.

Seeing the seedlings, Qiqi and others are more interested. They go to see the seedlings every day when they have time. They find places from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and plant ten seeds in each place, a total of ten places. At this stage, , The seedlings at the foot of the mountain grow best.
