Chapter 200 Great Land Reclamation
PS: Subscriptions are growing slowly. It really doesn’t cost much to ask for genuine subscriptions from brothers.
The carnival lasted until very late, around eleven o'clock in the evening, and the natives of the Blackstone tribe dispersed contentedly.
Of course, a large part of them were directly dragged back when they were drunk; the price Niu paid for this was that after adding a lot of water to the three barrels of edible alcohol, they were taken away by these native goods. Drank it clean.
Perhaps for the modern plane, those who don’t stay up until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night are not ashamed to call themselves night owls. Go to bed early after eating.
Being able to play until such a late hour was already an unprecedented and novel experience for them.
It is the tribes on the plains who claim that their lives have improved countless times, and they are also lacking in evening entertainment. Their members are not the same as working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and they are not at all stronger.
Only the shamans and leaders of their tribe can pass the time with barbecue and drinking some wine from the Qunian tribe; this is already the ultimate enjoyment and the greatest pursuit of life in their barren imagination ...
Even if the carousing lasted until late at night, when Master Niu, who had a severe headache after a hangover, walked out of his wooden house with his head in his arms, he was still relieved to see that all the natives of the Black Stone Tribe had woken up early , to prepare in advance for the work Master Niu ordered yesterday.
After breakfast, Master Niu took Kui and other high-level officials, plus thirteen witches from other tribes, to the top of the city with the best view; while other members of the tribe had already formed countless small teams and entered the city. After clearing the surrounding mountains and forests, the hard work began.
According to Master Niu's plan, in this spring, the Blackstone Tribe will open up 5,000 acres of new land and plant all kinds of crops such as corn, wheat, and potatoes.
Many of the crops, if according to the climate and environment of the Luolei Mountains, can be harvested twice a year; the final harvest is enough for everyone in the Blackstone tribe, and there is even a small amount of surplus.
In this way, the natives of the Blackstone tribe were completely freed from the most primitive way of survival, relying on hunting and gathering.
The flat mountain forest closest to the tribe has become the best planting area selected by Master Niu; not only is it close enough to the tribe, it is convenient to come and go, and after cutting down these big trees, the city wall can also be used. The sentinel on the tower has a wider view and can detect the enemy's situation in time.
It's just that, before the official planting, Master Niu and his fellow natives still have too much work waiting for them to complete...
With a loud bang, a big tree that was embraced by several people suddenly fell down, and the loud sound spread far away, startling countless birds and small animals in the forest.
After the big tree fell, the other members who were waiting at the side rushed up; waving the dazzling tools in their hands, all the redundant branches of the big tree were cleaned up; then, the huge trunk will be dragged back by many people The village is reserved as a material for future expansion of the tribe.
God's poor! This time, Master Niu finally remembered that he brought ten alloy two-person big saws from the modern plane, which suddenly accelerated the speed of felling the forest.
Otherwise, relying solely on the hundreds of thick-backed machetes, and even those stone axes that would have gaps after a few strokes, it would take a long time to clear out thousands of acres of forest; but even so, Black Stone The tribe's labor force also seemed quite tense.
Because Master Niu's plan is too large for the current manpower of the Black Stone Tribe; after cutting down the trees in the forest, there are still many jobs waiting for them such as burning wasteland and digging the land.
It is even necessary to dig a large canal from the stream in the mountain to bring the water in. Otherwise, if people carry water to irrigate such a large amount of land, the huge workload will make everyone desperate...
Every day, a hunting team of one hundred people, plus a gathering team, these two teams are necessary to go to further mountains and forests to find food; the high-intensity work every day makes these big belly of the Blackstone tribe The food intake of the Han people became more and more terrifying.
Master Niu estimates that if there is not enough meat to supplement, the work efficiency of the natives who are working hungry may drop to half.
So, after removing the hunting and gathering teams, as well as the necessary sentries, the Blackstone Tribe can only use a labor force of just over a thousand people, and this is the result of counting all the cubs over ten years old.
"It's good to get some strong labor somewhere to use it!" Master Niu, who was deeply aware of the shortage of labor, muttered to himself.
Inadvertently, Master Niu found thirteen witches from other tribes, looking longingly at the edge of the forest, busy with the scene; it is obvious that these people will rely on farming to reach a higher level for the Heishi tribe I am extremely envious of my way of life.
Master Niu was determined, the tribe in charge of these witches in front of him, isn't it a great source of coolies?
Anyway, in my plan, I also intend to gradually let these tribes develop into farming, but I have not had time to tell them this decision; in this case, it is better to let them contribute to the agriculturalization process of the Blackstone tribe. part of my strength.
As long as there are two thousand more people, Mr. Niu is sure that these thousands of acres of wasteland will be reclaimed before summer; if there are five thousand people, Mr. Niu can at least let two thousand of them catch up with the land. This year's spring sowing.
Immediately, this guy pretended to be careless, and asked the group of witches beside him: "In fact, compared with the prey in the mountains and forests, the food grown has no comparison in terms of taste and energy. It’s just enough to fill your stomach.”
"So I don't know whether you are interested in this technology. If you are interested, you can send some people; the Blackstone tribe can teach you all these technologies for free."
"My Qingyu tribe is willing, very willing, but I don't know how many people can come to study." Master Niu's voice fell, and the old man of Qingyu tribe immediately shouted.
Not to be outdone, the other tribes raised their heads one after another. Obviously, only the tribes on the plains have inherited farming techniques, and they have longed for it for a long time.
Master Niu became embarrassed when he heard the words: "It's nothing to teach skills, but you have seen the current situation of the Blackstone tribe. There is really not much manpower to hunt; so there are too many people, and the Blackstone tribe really can't provide food."
This time, the veteran from the Qingyu Tribe spoke out first, and he said with a look of disdain:
"Master Niu, don't worry, we are extremely lucky to have learned such valuable farming knowledge. We still need you to provide food; our Qingyu tribe will come to 500 people to learn and help this time. We will take care of all the food by ourselves. .”
While the old guy was talking, the other witches also expressed their deep approval; and talked about their dispatch plan in a hurry.
In the end, after Master Niu made some statistics, the number of free coolies actually reached 6,200, and they were not responsible for board and lodging.
At this point in the calculation, Master Niu was completely happy: "Technology is taught for free, but Master Niu, I didn't say that even the seeds are given away for free!"
