If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

Xia Chen began to recruit people from the outer city, and opened up the selection qualifications for entering the inner city, which was not a decision made with a slap in the face.

In terms of urban construction, the current city wall has been basically completed. Although the city wall with a height of more than six meters is not particularly tall, this height is almost enough. It will become more and more difficult to build higher places.

Excluding the large stone user of the city wall, there are still a lot of collected stone materials that have not been used up. This does not mean that the quarry workers can announce that they will be laid off.

Although the roads in the village and the road to the quarry are all rammed, they are still far from the urban environment Xia Chen wants.In his opinion, it is best to build a cement road, otherwise, no matter how hard the mud road is rammed, it will be finished after a soak in the rain.

When it comes to cement, Xia Chen is not an engineering student, but when he read it before, he saw a soil cement production method, and he roughly remembered the production process. It seemed that lime was used, and it was fired at high temperature with messy cinders and broken porcelain. Cement can be burned out.

The latter is easy to say, but the problem is that they don’t have karst landform here, and they don’t see much limestone. If they want to burn cement, they will definitely need a lot of limestone as raw materials. He doesn’t know other ways, so he can only put this down first.

But cement can't be fired, and porcelain, pottery and bricks can be considered. Not to mention anything else, if residents from outer cities are recruited in, the water tanks, earthen pots and various utensils they need in their lives are currently in a state of scarcity.It can't just rely on the search team to work hard to bring the water tank back from the outside, the cost will be high, and these new residents may not be able to afford it.

Besides, although these things are not considered consumables, they cannot be repaired if they are broken. They still need a stable source, so it is better to build a kiln and start burning things.

In terms of technology, he can look for talents in related fields, and find the best ones. If he can't find them, he will explore slowly. The road is made by people. At least he knows a little about the general process.

Just building a kiln and firing pottery requires a lot of manpower, and building houses is also needed.The current weather is really weird. Since the beginning of summer, it hasn't rained a single time. It's only mid-May now, and the temperature is already very high. Those who go to work can hardly wear short jackets.

Many old farmers in the village said that fortunately there was no rice planted this year, otherwise the harvest would be a big problem if there was no water at all.Even now, they spend a lot of time collecting water and watering the fields every day.

Although the canal is still being repaired, the water conservancy project is a long-term project, and it is still useless. The water level of the nearby Qingshui River has dropped a bit, and the several wells drilled in the village are now in use.

The unusual weather, the spring is so short that it is almost imperceptible, Xia Chen has to think about the worst, will it be extremely cold after the extreme heat?Or just keep it hot?

The former is fine, but if it’s the latter, I’m afraid it’s really not a way for ordinary people to survive. He still has water belts, and it’s not a problem to rely on his own production to provide for his family and help friends.

He was just thinking about these things for himself, and at most he couldn't hold back to discuss it with Wen Shu. He didn't dare to talk about others, for fear that they would be so worried that they wouldn't be able to sleep.

After talking to Wen Shu, from the inadvertent bias revealed in his words, Xia Chen vaguely felt that the first possibility was more likely, that is to say, there would be extreme cold after extreme heat, and he had to do a good job of keeping warm in advance.

There are too many things that can be done to keep warm. First of all, the house needs to be strong and warm.Thinking about the heavy snow that lasted for more than half a month, I heard from his father that several houses in the village collapsed, and people were crushed to death at that time.

If it is extremely cold weather, there is a high probability that it will be accompanied by heavy snow, and it may take longer, so the house must be strong.

Their house is okay, the green brick and tile house, his father spent a lot of money when he built the house, and it was very durable.However, the tiles on the roof were a little loose and some were broken. He wanted to lay a new layer of tiles.

This is a small problem, first try to find a way to burn out the tiles, anyway, pottery needs to be fired, tiles also need to be fired, and a kiln is needed, so let’s cover the kiln first.

In addition, he still has a recipe for burning charcoal in his hand, which was given to him by the boss who sold the charcoal back then, so he can also burn the charcoal.

In this way, a large amount of soil and wood is needed, and people have to be arranged to dig the soil and cut down trees, and people have to be left to burn the kiln, which is simply too short of manpower.

Fortunately, there is clay suitable for firing pottery around them, otherwise this matter will have to be shelved temporarily or find another way.

Speaking of houses, manpower is needed to build a house. Most of the houses in the village are earthen embryo houses, and the better ones use tiles instead of thatched roofs.But how can this kind of house withstand the wind and snow, when the snow will continue, the houses will be crushed one by one, and he is sitting in the house, should he be rescued or not?

Let them build a stone house, Xia Chen can't find people and pay for them by himself, he has to think of a new way, it's really a headache to think about it.

In addition, there are many, many things to do. In the past, there were few horses, and his father could do it alone. Now that there are so many horses, running out of fodder every day is a big problem. He must find someone to help.

To raise horses requires recruiting people, and to plant alfalfa requires land reclamation and planting.The population of the village has increased rapidly, and the existing land is definitely not enough, and we have to open up wasteland to grow food, and there is a shortage of people.

The development of agriculture alone is not enough, and there is also the breeding industry. You can't just eat vegetarian food. Meals without oil and water can't meet the huge energy needs of different people.Not to mention Brother Nan, for a little girl like Xi Niang who didn't eat much before, if she didn't eat high-energy food, she would get at least three big bowls of rice for a meal.

They almost wiped out all the hares and pheasants in the outskirts of the forest. There were so many people, how could they survive with only a little game.

Xia Chen really has no experience in breeding this thing. He asked around at home, but his father didn't understand, but his mother and sister-in-law could tell a few words.

For cattle and sheep, no one in their village raises beef cattle. To be precise, most of the cattle these days are farm cattle, and it is illegal to kill farm cattle at will.Of course, no one is looking for you if you slaughter them now, but now there are no cattle to slaughter. There are only two cows in their village. One is a cow bought by a richer family, which is very old, and the other is Xia Chen’s family. of.

In terms of sheep, there is a family that used to raise sheep, and the scale is not too big. The advantage is that their family can breed by themselves, so they don't have to try to find lambs.

As a result, before Xia Chen had time to be happy, he heard from his sister-in-law that all the sheep in that family had been eaten...

The culprit is Sun Heihu and his group, as well as his brother Nan, well, Mr. Meng also bought one.That family happened to be short of food, and felt that the world couldn't afford to raise sheep, so they sold all the sheep for a high enough price.

Facing Xia Chen's black face, Brother Nan muttered in a low voice: "You also ate the leg of lamb I bought, and said it was delicious..."

Xia Chen: "..."

Okay, blame me for making the plan too late. I don’t have to think about cattle and sheep for the time being. As for pigs, no one in the village used to raise them. In the words of my sister-in-law, they are smelly, buried, and meaty. The meat is hard to raise and can’t be sold at a high price.

I will answer this question!The villain in Xia Chen's heart raised his hands excitedly, there are many time-travelers and farmers, gelding pigs.

It is said that after the piglets are cut off, their temper will become very docile, they will not like to fight, the meat will grow a lot, and the taste will not be offensive. Anyway, it is all kinds of benefits, engage in pig breeding Must, cut the egg!

Piglets can catch young wild boars first. Anyway, the quality of the current farmed pigs is probably similar to that of wild boars, and it is better to domesticate them.

This can be done, Xia Chen made a note in his heart, and decided to get it done quickly, otherwise it would be cold when all the wild boars in the mountains were eaten up.

In addition to these, there are also poultry, which must be available in chicken farms. Eggs have high nutritional value and can be eaten in a variety of ways, including chickens.

This is not a big problem. There is a woman in the village who is very good at raising chickens. It is said that in the past, many chickens were hatched and sold to other families in the village, and people from other villages came to her house to catch chicks.

It's just that the scale of each family is not large. Xia Chen's mother said that some people raised too many chickens before, and they all died all of a sudden. The family was reluctant to throw them away. Yes, no one dared to raise so many chickens anymore.

Hearing this, Xia Chen was dumbfounded, he dared to eat the plague chicken, what a brave man.But he does know a little bit, there is a high probability that it is chicken plague, but it is useless to know, he has no idea how to prevent it, at most he knows to pay attention to hygiene issues.

Other poultry such as ducks and geese are raised by several families in the village. If you want to expand the scale, you can't do it overnight, and the animals can't grow up in a day.

Why?No, he can look for fast-growing ones. It is said that rabbits reproduce very fast and have many cubs in one litter, so rabbits can actually be raised.

In general, the current status quo is: short of people, very short of people, very short of people.

Xia Chen had a lot of plans in his mind, but he lacked people to implement them. With so many people in the outer city, it would be a waste to not use them.

After starting to recruit workers in the inner and outer cities at the same time, the villagers and residents in the outer city were worried that there would be no jobs for them. As a result, the task list was refreshed in an instant the next day, and there were several more at once.

The ones placed at the top are the recruitment of special talents, those who are literate and skilled, are given priority admission and have good salaries.

The number of quarrymen, lumberjacks, and transportation workers continues to expand, and there are also mud diggers. This job is a little easier than quarrying and logging, and strong women can also do it, but the wages are of course lower.

Tools are needed for digging and transporting mud. Xia Chen gave the blacksmith some of the broken copper and iron brought back by the search team into suitable collection tools.The old man who knew how to weave was called by Xia Chen to lead his apprentice. He didn't need to teach anything else, but at least he had to learn how to weave big bamboo baskets. Durability was the only requirement.

In addition, they found someone to build the pigsty first, and asked the old man to take some time to weave some cages for him, and after they were done, he could catch piglets and bastards and bring them back to raise.

As for the chickens, he was also a little worried about chicken plague, so he decided not to raise them intensively, but to try to expand the scale of each household's breeding.

He didn't forcefully issue regulations, but asked Feng Yanshan to hang up new notices in the shops, accepting all kinds of poultry eggs.

In the past, if you wanted to earn lottery coins, you could only do it through work, and occasionally you could earn a little from other people. Now there is an additional channel to earn money, and the farmer women are the main force by raising chickens and ducks, which instantly arouses their fighting spirit.

Not long after the notice was released, the threshold of the house of the woman who was particularly good at hatching chickens and raising chickens was almost broken.

The author has something to say: I searched for information in the middle of writing, searched for tile production, and then learned how to make sesame tiles, which seem to be quite delicious (?﹃?)
