All the savage is jealous, I will farm

It turned out that Xiaoman was very tired after he came back yesterday, and he simply ate grass and then rested in his cattle pen. Unexpectedly, the slave who was responsible for feeding grass to Man’s cattle this morning forgot that Xiaoman had come back, so he took the harvest. All the grass was fed to Daman and his wives and brothers.

After working so hard for so many days, Xiaoman was very angry when he returned to the tribe without even a meal.The most unacceptable thing for him is that he works hard outside to pull a cart, but in the tribe there are many wives and concubines.How can Xiaoman bear it now?

The spirituality of the wild bull fed by the same owner with spiritual grass is naturally not low. Xiaoman came to the tribe earlier and has a more special status. Xiaoman was not convinced, and immediately launched a challenge like the big man.

A conflict broke out between the two former friends. Although Xiaoman was not as strong as Daman, he forced Daman to run all over the cow pen with his anger. There was no room for him in such a large corral. The bodies of two cows.

Su Yao couldn't laugh or cry when he found out the reason, so he touched Xiaoman's head consolingly, turning his left hand over to produce a lot of spirit grass, which he stuffed into Xiaoman's mouth, and comforted him: "Hurry up and eat, it's all about you." Yes, I will give you one of Daman's daughter-in-law later, so don't be angry with Daman."

Seemingly understanding Su Yao's meaning, Xiaoman finally calmed down obediently and chewed the spirit grass contentedly with Su Yao's palm on his head.

Zhong Li looked at Chu Shan: "Get the slave who bought the cows and fed grass in the morning."

The team looking for salt came back with such great fanfare yesterday, what happened to him, a slave who was responsible for feeding the bulls, ignoring Xiaoman?

The slave didn't know much about Su Yao's and Zhongli's temperament, and thought that he just made a small mistake and would be scolded, so although he admitted his mistake, he didn't mean it seriously. The attitude is also perfunctory:

"My lords, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Not to mention Zhong Li and Su Yao, even Chu Shan on the side saw the slave's perfunctory.

Su Yao was too lazy to deal with this, and was still playing with Xiaoman. Zhong Li only glanced at the slave and said to Chu Shan, "Drag on, reward twenty lashes, and transfer to land reclamation."

"My lord, forgive me, I just forgot, I will definitely correct it in the future..."

The slave's face changed drastically, he forgot his identity as a slave and looked up at Zhongli, he just made a small mistake, why would he be whipped?

The caning in the tribe is not just a few blows. The long whip made of wild wolf skin must be bloody on the body.

The slave really panicked now, he had managed to find an easier job in the tribe by relying on his sister and brother-in-law, how could he be beaten for only making a small mistake?

The slave wanted to say something, but Chu Shan covered his mouth and dragged him down with his clothes on his chest.

When the voices of both of them could not be heard, Su Yao curled his lips: "I can't even do a job of feeding grass, and I don't know what's going on in my head."

"Probably I think you are too kind, and it doesn't matter if you make mistakes." Zhongli is telling the truth. No leader or priest in the tribe will treat slaves as kindly and justly as Su Yao, and will treat them leniently with consideration for their difficulties. .

Slaves are prey, just like the wild pigs and wild birds hunted by warriors, they can be discarded and trampled at any time. This is the consensus of all tribes in the Great Wilderness Mountains, and no one has broken it for hundreds of years.

Su Yao summoned the water flow to wash off the grass leaves on his hands with a formula, and said calmly, "I just look at them pitifully, but I forget that everyone has bad roots."

"The order continues. Once a slave who dares to be lazy and ignores his duties is found, he will be punished with whipping. If the circumstances are serious, he will be executed directly and his body will be displayed in a public place."

It is not cruel to use heavy codes in troubled times, but it is not cruel to use this one in the wild where all the rules have not been perfected.

The news that Mr. Zhongli had disposed of a slave quickly spread in the tribe. The slave was beaten twenty lashes and couldn't get out of bed for five days. It was said that the slave would be transferred to open up wasteland after he could walk.

The team leader who was in charge of guarding the slaves also specially came to collect punishment from Su Yao and Zhongli, and the people he arranged naturally had to take responsibility for mistakes.

The slaves were relieved when they heard that the team leader had been punished with three days of labor. The punishment was much better than they had imagined.

Since then, the slaves of the Huangping tribe no longer dared to be lazy, and their gratitude to Su Yao and Zhongli turned into a deeper awe, and the stratum in the tribe showed signs of sprouting.

There is a lot of coarse salt brought back, and the crisis of salt in the tribe has been resolved, and soon there is a new busy: it is time to plant rice.

The rice seedlings raised by rice are already one foot long, and they are growing tenderly in the seedling fields. If they are not planted in the paddy fields, I am afraid that they will miss the good solar terms.

After such a long period of barrenness in the tribe, the area of ​​paddy fields has exceeded the area of ​​dry land for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes, but such a large paddy field is facing a new problem.

The paddy field where the seedlings are transplanted must have water that reaches the calf depth, so that the seedlings will grow better after planting. Although the paddy field is moist, it is only muddy, and there is not so much water in the field.

In this way, diverting water to and from the field becomes a big problem. The terrain of the paddy field is higher than the river bank. Unless we go to the river bank a few kilometers away to build canals to divert water into the paddy field, otherwise we can only water the field with buckets manually. .

When will thousands of acres of paddy fields be irrigated by manpower?In addition, the weather has been sunny during this period of time, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the dry land are also short of water, and water diversion has become the biggest problem.

Su Yao is not in a hurry about water diversion. He has considered the construction of waterwheels before, and now it's time to put it on the agenda.

He summoned many carpenters in the tribe, and described the working principle of the waterwheel to them in the simplest language, and then drew the structural diagram of the waterwheel on the buffalo hide, and marked the places that were difficult to understand, and asked them to make waterwheels as soon as possible. car.

The carpenters studied obsessively with the structure diagram of the waterwheel. They were immersed in the exquisite idea of ​​the waterwheel structure. They didn't even care about food and slept day and night in the wood factory to catch up with work.

At the same time, other people in the tribe also built water ditches between the paddy fields. These ditches divided the paddy fields into small fields, interspersed with each other, allowing water to irrigate each field.

Man oxen and iron plows made great efforts to open up wasteland, and now ditches are also very useful. Da Man pulls a super-large special iron plow to turn the soil on both sides. Everyone only needs to widen the dug out ditch and tamp it down. finished.

Everyone is busy together, and the speed of work is not slow.

The style of the water wheel is a bit like a modern Ferris wheel. With the bearing in the middle as the support, dozens of wooden supports radiate to the surroundings. The top of the wood is connected to a scraper and water bucket, and there is a long spoke.

The scraper wipes the water and the bucket refills the water. With the impact of the water flow, the spokes are driven to rotate. At this time, the bucket will be filled with water and gradually rise to a higher place.

When approaching the top, the bucket will naturally tilt, and the water will flow out of it. At this time, an aqueduct is installed below, and the water will fall into the aqueduct and flow along the ditch to the ditches and fields.

The aqueduct needs to be spliced ​​with wood. The tribe now has iron tools to make the aqueduct very fast. Soon a long aqueduct was erected on the river bank about five meters high.

A total of three aqueducts diverting water at the same time can better save time. The ditches for diverting water not far from the aqueducts have also been dug, and only the water trucks are in place to divert water.

The carpenters rushed to work overnight, and it took three days and three nights to finally build a waterwheel more than six meters high, with detachable iron wheels added to the bottom for easy transportation.

The warriors in the tribe worked together to move the waterwheel to the river bank, and put it on the river bank with great difficulty.

After the preparations are complete, the next step is to lead the water in the river to the waterwheel.

Carefully dug a canal with a hoe on the edge of the big river, and a small part of the river water was successfully led to the waterwheel. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and waited for the river water to overflow the spokes at the bottom of the waterwheel.

However, the waterwheel did not turn as everyone expected. Did it fail?

Although a little discouraged, everyone was not very frustrated. The carpenters began to find out what was unreasonable and planned to overhaul the waterwheel.

And Su Yao saw the reason why the waterwheel didn't turn: the flow of the river water was too small, and the water potential couldn't drive the spokes.

"Bring more water over." Hearing Su Yao's order, everyone immediately carried it out.

This time Zhongli personally led a few people to divert water. They carefully widened and strengthened the ditch with hoes, and more river water was diverted.

Just as everyone expected, the water flow drove the spokes to rotate, the scraper fell into the water, and the bucket was filled with water and slowly rose.

At the place where the water bucket is inclined, the aqueduct just catches the poured water, and a steady stream of water flows along the aqueduct to the distant paddy fields.

"Successful." The crowd cheered. They couldn't believe that just such a wooden frame could lead the water from the low place to the five-meter-high plain.

"God Bless God Envoy" "God Bless Lord Zhongli" I don't know who shouted this slogan first, everyone followed suit: "God Bless God", "God Bless the Tribe", "God Bless Lord Zhongli"

Listening to the crowd's slogans, Su Yao's mind flashed, and an idea took root in his heart.

A waterwheel brought in a steady stream of water, and soon a paddy field was filled with water up to the calf depth. The person who poured water into the field saw the ditch that sealed the field and reopened a paddy field.

Immediately afterwards, the other two water trucks also began to divert water, and the people in the tribe were full in the morning and pushed the wooden carts to the seedling fields.

The seedling field was also poured with water, and everyone tied the dense seedlings into small bundles with straw ropes and put them in the wooden frame cart. Pulling out the seedlings is a skillful job. If you use light hands, the seedlings cannot be pulled out, and if you use heavy hands, the seedlings cannot be pulled out. It is very likely to be torn off by the waist.

Everyone carefully pulled it out for a while before they found the trick.The speed also gradually increased.

The ten o'clock drum sounded, and everyone rushed to the paddy field with the plucked seedlings.

The field has set aside a road for wooden vehicles to walk in advance, so the wooden frame vehicles are pulled directly to the ground, men and women take off their shoes one after another, lift up their trouser legs and walk to the paddy field with the seedlings.

Now that the temperature is rising, stepping barefoot in the paddy field does not feel cold. Take a handful of seedlings and pinch them in your left hand, divide them one by one with your index finger and thumb, hold the divided seedlings in your right hand, and insert the seedlings with your right fingertips down. In the mud, the interval between each seedling is about ten centimeters.

Transplanting rice seedlings is not a technical job, and it can be done with a little care.It's just that when transplanting rice seedlings, you need to bend your back, and after a long time, you will be too sleepy to straighten up.

It should also be noted that in such paddy fields, there is usually a modern blood-sucking insect called 'leech', which is called 'blood sticky' in the wild. Once this kind of insect is attached to a person's leg, it will bite the human skin Get in and suck blood.

It doesn't take long to suck itself up fat. What's disgusting is that the adsorption capacity of this kind of bug is so strong that it can't be torn off by hand. It can only be removed with a knife or sprinkled with salt.

Su Yao knows a simple method. After being bitten by the bug, he slaps the skin around the wound vigorously with his hand, so that the blood flow will be accelerated, and the bug will fall off by itself after being choked by the blood. However, this method is only suitable for small "Blood sticky" is useless when encountering big blood stickies.

Thousands of people in the tribe work at the same time, and the scene is really spectacular.After watching it for a while, Su Yao felt a sense of accomplishment welling up from the bottom of his heart. He really felt that the Huangping tribe was changing because of him.

The planted seedlings were replaced with their last name: rice. The amount of water in the field must be strictly controlled within a few days after the rice is planted. If the water is too deep, the rice that has not slowed down will be drowned; drought.

After the seedlings were planted in the field, everyone wandered around the paddy field in fear, fearing that something might happen to the seedlings.
