All the gold and stone brought back by Zhongli are stored in the basement.

Su Yao was ready to unify the currency. He made the refined gold into finger-sized golden beans and distributed them to every adult resident in the tribe.

Each person only had a small golden bean, and Su Yao had clearly told them when they distributed it that each golden bean could be exchanged for 100 catties of meat in the tribe.

This golden bean can be kept or given to others. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to the store of Shenyou Department Store to exchange for goods.

The people in the tribe didn't pay much attention to the fact that the golden beans could be exchanged for goods. They all regarded the golden beans as a reward from the gods, and the symbolic meaning of glory was greater than the actual meaning of exchange.

Su Yao no longer reminded that the tribe has not yet found all the copper and silver, so don't worry about the currency exchange.

His purpose is to let everyone understand the rules of currency exchange in the most peaceful way, and lay the foundation for replacing barter with currency exchange in the future.

Due to the extraordinarily abundant food this year, the storage of all kinds of dried and smoked meat has increased, and with the tens of thousands of catties of smoked fish, all the cellars built before in the tribe have been filled.

So not far from the big field, everyone dug another big cellar together. The iron ore output is very rich, the ironmaking technology is more mature, and the latest cellar structure is stronger. The underground is divided into two simple ones. layer.

The bottom layer is for heavy grains and bacon, and the second floor is a layer of cabinets built with iron frames and wooden frames, which are specially used to store light-weight things such as dried vegetables.

The cellar made in this way not only maximizes the use of the underground space, but also does not affect the load bearing on the ground at all.

The building on the ground is a huge empty flat floor, except for a few necessary load-bearing wall partitions, each room has a huge space that can be used to store various materials.

As the largest warehouse in the tribe, when Su Yao designed it, he specially designed two layers of brick walls to ensure the firmness of the wall. The wood on the top is also wood that is more than a hundred years old, and it is also painted with lime for fire prevention.

Lime is also what the Long Snake Tribe called white clay. Zhongli brought some back when he came back, but the quantity was not very large. Except for some that were kept for medical use, the rest were used as fireproof paint.

The warehouse for storing food has been built, and there is no fear of no place to store twice as much food, and the "wild hunting and picking" activities in the tribe have also come to an end.

The autumn wind was slightly cool, and the leaves of the early blooming trees in the forest began to turn yellow. Everyone knew that this year's cold winter might be coming soon.

The priest counted and counted with his fingers, and finally came to a conclusion: "It's half a month earlier than last year, and this year's cold winter is even more sad."

Ah Huo comforted the priest at the side: "It's okay, grandpa, we are all prepared, and everyone will get through it safely."

The priest sighed: "I hope so."

After a while, there was a loud noise from the tribe, and the priest frowned: "God sent another batch of slaves to be pardoned today?"

"Yes, a total of 800 slaves have been pardoned and given them the status of equal residents. This year's winter food will only be divided in half according to the food of equal residents." Ah Huo was one of the first batch of slaves pardoned, and now he is also an equal resident identity of.

"God makes adults kind-hearted, and all things are equal to him." The priest murmured with emotion, he did not have the realm of Su Yao, and he still couldn't accept that slaves were equal to them from the bottom of his heart.

When the temperature dropped to the point where wearing cotton clothes could no longer withstand the cold, the tribe began to store up the last crop of autumn harvest this year.

The corn grows big and strong, with a high yield, and it matures earlier than Su Yao originally expected.

There are several cobs growing on the savage corn. The young and strong walk in front to pick the corn, while the weaker ones chop the corn stalks behind with a sickle.

The corn cobs have to be brought back to the tribe to peel off the outer corn husks, and the kernels are peeled and dried before being ground into cornmeal for consumption.

And these green corn stalks are the best feed for wild cattle, sheep and wildebeest, and can be stored for a long time.

The corn stalks are cut from the knees, and the corn stalks below are too hard to feed and taste bad.

However, this section of old corn stalks should not be wasted. People with hoes dug out the roots of these corn stalks and threw off the soil on them, tied them with ropes and carried them home.

The removed corn cobs are temporarily poured on the large field to dry. After two or three days of drying, the moisture of the corn cobs will be dried, making it easier to thresh.

The yield of sweet potatoes is not as high as the crop harvested in summer, probably because there is still a little time to mature, and the vines are still green, and all the people in the tribe cut them back for feed.

The yield of the remaining beans is not bad, at least on average, it is not a problem that each family can get a few dozen catties.

All kinds of melons planted in the field have been eaten since the beginning of autumn. Now the pumpkins are as big as [-] to [-] catties, and the pumpkins can't even fit in a back basket.

The corsage melons grow crookedly, each one is as thick as a human's thigh, more than one meter long, and a family of four or five people eat stewed meat, and they can't finish a meal.

The thick skin of these melons is not easy to rot, so it is basically no problem to store them in the cellar for a month.

However, the pumpkin needs to be extra careful when storing it, and the skin should not be a little bit broken. It is the most perishable among these kinds of melons.

Everyone is busy during the day, and after dinner at night, they all go to the field to thresh the corn, peel off the outer corn husks and beat them vigorously with sticks, and the corn kernels will fall off the corn cobs.

Those that have not fallen off need people to move them down bit by bit with their hands.

After threshing corn for two consecutive nights, Su Yao suddenly remembered that there are simple iron corn threshing tools in modern times.

The size is like a bench, with a rotating handle, and the handle is connected with a round discus with iron spikes. Originally, there was a round iron cylinder on the discus.

Fix the discus vertically, put the corn in the upper cylinder, and turn the iron handle while pressing down, and the iron thorns on the discus will fall off all the corn kernels. .

Occasionally, due to the size of the corn cobs not matching, there will be a few corn kernels that have not come off on the cobs, and it will not take much effort to move them by hand.

The blacksmiths quickly produced more than a dozen corn threshers overnight, and all of them were robbed in the field, and the work of corn thresher was much faster.

After all the crops in the field were taken back, Su Yao took dozens of yaks with him to plow the land.

The bulls were plowing the land in front, and everyone carried the baskets on their backs and sprinkled the fermented manure that had been saved during this period on the plowed soil.

Even if the land on the plain is fertile, it cannot withstand the continuous cultivation of two or even three crops a year, so it is necessary to add fertilizers to keep the soil active.

Otherwise, if the soil self-recovery cannot keep up with the cultivation time, the land will completely lose its vitality and become a desert-like existence, and it will not recover at all within a few decades.

Su Yao led people to plant the wheat before the weather was completely cold. When the cold winter came and it snowed, the wheat had to grow at least an inch long, so that it could withstand the severe winter cold.

The cultivation of wheat is much simpler than that of other crops such as corn. You only need to scatter a lot of seeds in the soil, and then plan the upper soil layer slightly to bury the wheat seeds in the soil. It is planted here.

However, sowing seeds is also a technical job. If the seedlings are not evenly spread, the wheat seedlings that grow will be too close to each other, which will enhance the nutrients of each other. not big.

Thousands of acres of land were all planted with wheat, and the busyness of the tribe was completely over.

Next is the time to massacre the livestock in the tribe, especially the wild pigs from each household and the wild pigs in the tribe. They are delicious, delicious, and carefully cared for for more than half a year. The wild pigs that run are much fatter.

These pigs will not have much room for growth until next year, the meat will not become more, but the meat quality will become older, and a lot of feed will be wasted.

The feed that was eaten by them is kept, and next year they can raise another pig that weighs about their size.

Therefore, in order to save more feed, except for some breeding pigs and more than 30 sows, the remaining pigs will be slaughtered as long as they are heavy enough.

Those wild pigs that belong to the tribe are smoked in a small smokehouse after being slaughtered, and returned to the tribe's own warehouse.

The pigs raised by each family belong to their own family, and it is up to them to decide what to do with them after they are slaughtered.

Now that the weather is cold, fresh meat can be stored for a period of time. Most people choose to hang the meat on the stove and store it while smoking.

There are also some people who simply follow the method taught by Su Yao, cut the meat into pieces, fry the fat in a pan, and then make large pieces of meat sausages, which can also be preserved for a long time.

When the weather cools down completely and everyone feels cold hands even washing dishes, all the big and small jobs in the tribe have basically been done, and the more industrious people will go to the mountains to collect dry firewood with their backs on their backs.

Some felt tired after working for more than half a year. Anyway, every household had already distributed enough firewood, so they heated up the pots and stoves with their own family members, and lived a good life with their spouse and children.

As for the slaves shared by the tribe, they lived in the collective dormitory specially built for them early on. Compared with their previous living conditions, the various furnishings in it are like heaven and earth.

The schedule in the school has changed to Zhang Xin's, and there is no work to do in the field. Naturally, I have to pick up my studies and focus on teaching.

As a thin layer of ice formed on the water tank outside the venue, everyone finally confirmed that this year's cold winter has come, more than half a month earlier than usual.

And at this time, they also realized why the envoy asked them to prepare food so much. It turns out that this year's cold winter is indeed more dangerous than previous years.

"Thank you God, thank you God Envoy."

Many people are repeating this sentence in their hearts. For them, they can live the life they are today, all thanks to the gods and adults.

As the tribe settled down completely, Su Yao and Zhongli also prepared the big ship according to the plan, loaded arrows and crossbows and other attack weapons on the ship, and took their sailors on board.

Ten beautiful wooden boats swayed on the water, like a miracle from the gods, it is hard to believe its existence.

The sailors brought enough food and nutritious fruits and vegetables, and the long-distance fleet began to sail.

The author has something to say:

Second watch, thank you Baoer for your support, these two days of special circumstances, I can't get up every day, love everyone!
