Chapter 649 It's Okay, We Can Continue to Grow Food Here

Now that the walls of the Qingque Tribe have expanded and the population has increased, it is not good to simply use drainage ditches as before. All Han Cheng thought of pottery pipes, which are much more convenient and quicker than building them.

For Heiwa who can make a large vat, it is not too difficult to make clay pots that can be connected together.

After Han Cheng made his request and wrote and drew on the ground for a while, Hei Wa, who understood what was going on, was already happy to do it...

The weather is getting warmer day by day as the uncle Lu lays down on the baby doe more and more frequently.

Another spring rain fell, knocking down the withered flowers all over the place.

The rapeseed has just been lifted up, and it has not had time to reveal a piece of golden color.

In the field after plowing and harrowing, someone has already started to sow early millet with deer and columbine carts.

Numerous tiny grains of millet slid down the storehouse's eye, and fell into the moist soil with the most simple hope of everyone in the Qingque tribe.

Farther away, some people are still using tools such as hoe and copper to reclaim the wasteland.

There is no way, as the tribe expands, it will inevitably occupy the cultivated land around the tribe.

In order not to reduce the area of ​​cultivated land in the tribe, people can only continue to reclaim wasteland further afield.

On the outskirts of the courtyard, Han Cheng, lame, Shitou and other "leisure" people pulled twine and started to confirm the position of the new wall with a stick.

Only after the location of the new fence has been determined can the rest of the work begin.

Wu also participated in it. At the beginning, he circled the ground while imagining everything on the renderings. The more he worked, the more delighted he was.

But when everyone circled all the things in this area, Wu couldn't be happy, because a lot of cultivated land was circled in.

But these good lands are enclosed and built into houses, how much less food will be harvested in one year!

Han Cheng didn't want to see such a large area of ​​cultivated land being enclosed, after all, the Qingque tribe's total cultivated land was not too much.

Now that so many lands are encircled at once, and it is still good to encircle, it makes people feel distressed to think about it.

"You can still grow food here..."

After thinking for a while,

Han Cheng smiled and said to Wu, Shitou, Lai and others.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Wu and the others lit up, but then they became confused again.

Didn't the picture clearly show that this place will be built into houses and various circles in time? How can we still grow food?

Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Wu Ji's questions. It's true that construction is going on here, but these constructions can't be completed overnight.

Not to mention the rest, just this wall, if you want to get it up, it will be a bit hanging this year.

In this way, food can continue to be grown in the wide space between the new wall and the old wall.

It is absolutely no problem to collect a crop of millet and beans.

And even after the wall is completed, the construction of pig pens and granaries needs to be carried out slowly. If calculated in this way, most of the enclosed land can be planted for another two years or so.

With these two years as a buffer, the newly opened land of the Qingque tribe can completely eliminate the losses caused by the loss of these cultivated lands, and prevent the tribe's food production from being affected.

As soon as Han Cheng said this, the eyes of Wu and the others, who were suffering from the loss of a large piece of fertile land, immediately lit up.

That's right, these things can't be built quickly. During this period, as long as there is a way out, most of the places can continue to be cultivated.

Such a simple thing, how come I and others didn't think of it...

Day by day, the millet seeds buried in the soil sprouted and rippling in the spring breeze.

The excavated clay turned into clay pipes and piled up more and more.

Rapeseed rape is lifted up little by little and brilliant flowers bloom, attracting the bees of the Qingque tribe to come over to kiss Fangze with buzzing slogans.

The pollen turns to sweet honey, and the fallen flowers bear long canola pods...

Following Han Cheng's order, Tietou and the others, who had long wanted to experience the taste of harvesting crops with a bronze sickle, couldn't wait to get out of the field.

The golden bronze sickle waved quickly, harvesting rows of yellowed rapeseed...

Ten days of hard work have not been exhausted, and the rapeseed of the Qingque tribe has gone through the whole process from harvesting to smashing and cleaning up, and even the rapeseed fields after harvesting have been turned upside down and planted with late millet and beans .

Having experienced the autumn harvest, it is not easy for them to deal with such a small scene as harvesting rapeseed.

People from the former Huangguo tribe, such as Dou and Huangguo, looked at the land with sprouts, and while they were shocked, they also had some enlightenment in their hearts.

No wonder the tribe used to exchange precious salt and pottery for things like seeds and stones.

It turns out that these things that they don't see in their eyes will be so useful after such an operation!

You don't need to go hunting, just relying on these, you can feed the entire tribe!

They have all eaten millet, and it tastes very good, but the kind of beans that always bloat after eating, why grow so many beans?

Recalling the wonderful experience of eating too many soybeans, Huang Guo and others couldn't help pressing their hands on their stomachs...

There will definitely be a lot of differences between the renderings and the real thing.

However, the effects of these renderings drawn by Han Cheng are very obvious.

Everyone in the Qingque Tribe who had seen it all wanted to turn the painting into a real existence as soon as possible.

Therefore, this year's spring plowing has been done very hard. Compared with previous years, although the cultivated land is much more, it takes less time.

Of course, there is also a universal due credit for bronze farm tools.

"start!"

After several felled bamboo poles were placed in the fire and made a few crackling sounds, Han Cheng picked up a copper pole and dug up a square of soil, and then shouted, announcing that the Qingque tribe The big project to expand the tribe officially started.

The people who had been assigned to work before took tools, and after Han Cheng announced the start of work, they all enthusiastically devoted themselves to the construction of the new wall.

There are many more people in the Qingque Tribe than at the beginning. Even though a lot of people have to be allocated to do other things, there are still a lot of people who can devote themselves to the construction of the wall after the spring plowing.

There are almost one hundred people, and at most it can exceed one hundred and fifty people!

There are a lot of people, and the tools are shotguns, so even though the new wall of the Qingque Tribe is much larger than the previous one, the progress is not too slow.

When the people of the Qingque tribe were expanding the tribe in full swing, the bark in the north also set off with people...
