All the savage is jealous, I will farm

The temperature in the Great Wilderness Mountains was getting higher and higher, and there was only a thin layer of snow left on the plain. Su Yao discussed with the priest and put the matter of opening up the wasteland on the agenda.

The soil of the plain is very fertile, but it is covered with waist-deep weeds. These weeds have well-developed root systems, and it takes a lot of effort to hoe them.

Nearly 2000 people were divided into [-] groups to work in the fields with bone hoes, machetes and axes. Their desire to have a full stomach every day made them work harder.

Especially the women and girls in the tribe, they may not be as good as men in training for fighting, but they are not inferior to men in doing these weeding and digging jobs, and even far surpass them in terms of care.

This can be seen from the land they have reclaimed. The wasteland reclaimed by the women is full of weeds and stones, but the land reclaimed by the men still leaves stones and grass roots from time to time.

So after work, everyone joked together, Dashansuya and other women with sharp and sharp personalities laughed at the men as bulls raised by the gods, although they were strong but careless.

The men laughed and didn't object. When they carried weeds into the brick kiln at night, they would laugh at the women for their weak strength and not carrying as many weeds as they did.

But joking aside, they all know what they are good at and where they are weak, and they have never complained because they are women or men.

After three consecutive days of work, a total of about [-] mu of land has been cultivated, which Su Yao estimates should be enough for growing potatoes.

In the early morning of the fourth day, more than 50 wheelbarrows full of potato seeds were neatly placed on the field, and there were still many potato seeds that had not been picked out from the cave where food was stored in the cold winter.

Everyone gathered together, and Su wanted to talk about today's work: "One to five groups of people will continue to open up wasteland, and the rest will grow potatoes with me."

"My lord, we have never planted potatoes before, so what should we do if the plant is damaged?" Everyone was talking about it, and it is not difficult to open up wasteland, just put your head down and work hard with all your strength.But they have never planted these potatoes. If one kind goes bad, so many seeds will be wasted.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will teach you how to plant it when you are in the field. Just do as I teach you." Potatoes are not delicate things, so they are not that difficult to grow.

Su Yao's confident appearance made everyone feel at ease.

The ground plowed with a hoe is not as deep as the iron plow and oxen, and the soil layer is not soft enough, but it is very good to be able to do this in the wilderness with limited conditions.

What Su Yao wants to teach the tribe is the planting method that has lasted for thousands of years in ancient times: the ridge method.

Mark a [-]cm-wide "ridge" on the ground with a straw rope, then dig out small soil nests on the ridge with an interval of about [-]cm, and throw a handful of humus back from the mountain into it , and then put the potato seeds with the eyes facing up in the soil nest, and the potatoes will be planted in one ridge.

There is an interval of [-] centimeters between the ridges, which are called ridges. The soil in the ridges should be covered with wood catalpa on the ridges. While burying the potato seeds, it can also preserve the water needed during the growth of the potatoes, and the thicker the soil, the better the soil. The richer the nutrients in the pot, the bigger the potatoes will grow.

Su Yao took Shi Shi and others to plant three ridges in a row. After seeing clearly, everyone found that it was not as difficult as they imagined, and they planted according to Su Yao's teaching.

The people in the tribe are indeed used to working. They quickly developed a planting assembly line. One person digs the soil nest, one person is responsible for spreading the humus and seeds, and one person squats on the ground to turn out the buds of the seeds. The one remaining person covered the ridge with the soil in the ditch.

It only takes four people to plant a ridge of potatoes. With such cooperation, more than 500 people can plant more than 300 ridges of potatoes at a time. The speed is really fast.

The tribe planted potatoes in full swing for five days, and the potato seeds that Su Yao took out were exhausted.The sweet potatoes and ground roots have just germinated, and it will take some time to plant them. The reclaimed land and neat ridges on the plain look particularly satisfying.

"Ah Yao, it is very likely that the wild pigs have come down the mountain." Zhongli looked serious.

When he was patrolling, he found the hoofprints of the wild boar herd, which meant that the food in the mountains was no longer available, and the wild boars and other animals were likely to come to the plains in large numbers to find food.

If there is no way to deal with these animals, the potatoes that have been planted in the ground and the roots of the sweet potatoes that will be planted will definitely suffer.

Su Yao has thought about this problem before. The reason why wild planting has not developed is partly due to the backwardness of production tools, and another big reason is that there are too many animals in the wild, and the things planted can't wait to mature at all. are eaten by other animals.

"Let's light a few fires and watch it. It happens that there is not much meat stored in the tribe. As long as the wild pigs dare to come, they will never return." Su Yao smiled easily, and his peach eyes were full of cunning.

Zhong Li paused and asked, "You mean to attract prey and then kill them?"

Su Yao nodded: "More than that, any animal has the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. We will kill them a few times if they dare to attack the food in the field. You can't eat anything casually, or you will lose your life."

"In this way, after waiting for a long time, the animals in the mountains will gradually not dare to run to us."

"What you said makes sense." Zhong Li suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up: "I'll make arrangements now."

Su Yao waved his hand casually to indicate that he knew it. In front of him was an unfinished drawing. The lines were simple but the overall framework was very complicated. It was a city layout map.

The Huangping tribe is located in a very good location, more than enough to build a huge city, even if it is used as the capital in the future.

'Capital City', Su Yao drew a heavy circle on those two words. Sooner or later, he will complete the task entrusted to him by the Heavenly Dao, and then return to his modern hometown.

It's just that when he thinks about going home, Zhongli's shadow can't help appearing in his mind. He went back, what should Zhongli do?

With a stubborn personality like Zhong Li who doesn't trust others, he must be very anxious when he knows he's gone.

But what if Zhongli already has someone to accompany him in the future?With Zhongli accompanied by someone, Zhongli shouldn't be hard to accept after he leaves, right?

Although the Huangping tribe does not reject the bond between men and women, men and women, or even women and men, Su Yao feels uncomfortable when he thinks that there will be someone closer to Zhongli in the future.

"Forget it, forget it, forget it for now!" Su Yao rubbed his forehead, only feeling upset.

The layout of the city has not been fully planned. Starting from the city center, the layout of the houses, the planning of the streets, and the direction of the water outlets all require complex and huge calculations. No one can help him here, and he can only design it himself. .

It was the first time that Su Yao felt so anxious because of a single person. When he was fidgeting and unintentionally planning, Chu Shan's voice sounded from outside the cave: "My lord, the second batch of bird eggs placed in the grass broke their shells!" Yes, a lot of baby birds came out."

Ever since they went to attack the Huangshui tribe, the grunting birds and the barbarians hadn't picked up the eggs. When they came back, the weather gradually became warmer, and when they went to pick them up again, they found that the eggs had already given birth to cubs.

Since then, the eggs in the bird's nest have never been picked up again, and they are all thrown in for the hatchlings to hatch.

Anyway, Su Yao's purpose of raising these birds is to develop the breeding industry. Since the savage birds can hatch by themselves, of course he doesn't need to spend more time. Now it seems that the adaptability of these birds is stronger than he imagined.

"Let's go and have a look together." Taking advantage of this excuse, Su Yao simply didn't think about anything, and went to see the barbarian cub first to relax.

The cave is not very ventilated, and the smell is really unpleasant. Su Yao's five senses are much more developed than normal people. As a result, because he was thinking about things in his head, he forgot to give himself a method of purifying the breath when he entered. Xun almost spit it out on the spot.

Chu Shan immediately noticed Su Yao's abnormality, and he patted his forehead very annoyed: "My lord envoy, I shouldn't have brought you here, are you alright?"

Su Yao used two spells for himself, and he had to use spiritual power to protect his whole body before his complexion turned better: "It's okay, I'm too tired these days, and I feel a little dizzy when I walk around."

Anyway, he would never admit that he was almost vomited.

"Oh, that's good." Chu Shan heaved a sigh of relief, but he still made up his mind in his heart that he must never let God Envoys come to such a place in the future. It is not suitable for people who are like gods to come here.

The number of barbarians, grunting birds, and big-winged birds is already quite large, and with the good food throughout the cold winter, all of them are fat and big.

They are used to being fed by Chu Shan and Zhong Li and they are not afraid of people, they still take their cubs quietly in their dens.

The newly hatched bird has sparse yellow hair on its body and chirps in its wet nest in the dry grass.Su Yao roughly counted, there are more than 20 newly hatched cubs, and more than half of the eggs in the nest have not yet hatched.

If all hatched, there must be at least more than 50, plus the 43 hatched before, there will be more than 100 cubs alone.

"This cage is too small, I have to change it to a bigger one."

Chu Shan nodded immediately: "I thought so too, but I just don't know what to change."

Anyway, the habits of these birds are similar to those of chickens and ducks, so Su Yao copied the chicken cages he has seen now: "Weave them with bamboo and branches, just like you weave your baskets, and leave the gap in the middle a little higher than yours. The chest is about the same, it must be firm."

"I've made a note." Chu Shan nodded.

"I see that weeds are also growing on the edge of the river. You arrange a few people to herd wild sheep and mow grass for wild pigs and wild birds." Su Yao continued to order: "Find a spacious place for the wild pigs to set up alone. A shed, they grow too fast."

The barren pig has a big skeleton, plus it has never been short of food or cold throughout the cold winter, so its weight has been increasing, but it has become an adult in more than four months.

Chu Shan was eager to try: "Envoy, why don't you find a special place for these prey to build a larger stone house, and find a few people to clean up and feed them, so that the prey will grow faster."

Su Yao thinks his idea is good: "Then you will be responsible for this matter. By the way, since these prey are domesticated in our tribe, the name should also be changed. They are called domestic animals, domestic animals."

Although it is not appropriate to call the grunt bird a domestic animal, there is no better name than this at present, so let's make do with it first.
