This guy even went even further, and set a daily workload for these women and children, and if they didn't dig enough gold every day, they wouldn't be given food.

Xiao Feng felt that it was a bit excessive, so he stopped his arrangement, just let these women and children ensure a certain amount of work, and they don't necessarily have to dig out how much gold to eat.

Coupled with Xiao Feng's extraordinary status in the hearts of the locals, the locals will not resist the work requirements arranged by him, and their enthusiasm for work is very high.

In his free time, Xiao Feng also turned around the nearby hills, on the one hand, to investigate the growth of wild mushrooms, to find a production area with more mushrooms, and on the other hand, he also planned to get some plants back and try artificial breeding.

The method of artificial cultivation is very simple, and the technology of modern mushroom cultivation is very mature, but Xiao Feng still made some improvements in combination with the local situation. Mix some wood chips, mix the local highly fertile humus soil, and the plant ash produced by burning as the substrate, seal it with plastic film, and then put it in a special ventilated, humid, and temperature environment, insert the mushroom plants into the holes that grow and bandage, and then leave it to fate.

Xiao Feng is not an expert in planting after all, he just learned some fur of cultivated fungi from books, and the rest depends on whether it can grow.

In addition, Xiao Feng inspected the mountain environment at the same time, but also inspected the mountain forest environment, and the fertility of the soil, such a treasure land must be rationally used, the forest economy must also be developed, if done well, the benefits that can be brought are also amazing.

For example, planting ginseng, after a round of investigation, he really found several places suitable for planting understory ginseng, ginseng likes to be relatively protected from light in the environment, there are such places in this mountain forest, and they are thousands of years of undeveloped primeval forest, the soil fertility in this mountain forest is also quite amazing, Xiao Feng believes that there will be very good quality understory ginseng planted here.

It's just a pity that I didn't bring seeds this time, so I can only wait for the next time.

In addition, after the rice planting was completed, Xiao Feng also asked the farmers to open up many other acres of land with the local people, plant some vegetables, and local crops, and he planned to bring some soybean seeds next time for them to plant beans.

This bean is a good thing, it has high nutritional value, it can also fertilize the field, it is an excellent cash crop, and it is very suitable for this era.

This soybean can be said to be a very miraculous, very high economic value of the crop, it can be said that the whole body is a treasure.

It can absorb nitrogen from the air, and solidify the nitrogen into the soil to achieve the effect of fertilizing the field, and the soybean produced can be extracted from oil, and the remaining soybean meal can also be used as a ration for livestock, and the utilization rate is very high.

In the modern food map of the human world, soybeans have always played a very important role, which can be processed and refined into many by-products, and the role is very extensive.

So Xiao Feng plans to get some soybeans to plant next time he comes, after all, there are too many wastelands here, which are very suitable for the development of agricultural civilization, but unfortunately the number of his tribe is too small now, and a lot of wasteland cannot be used.

Walking in the fields for many days in a row, sometimes teaching these natives to grow crops, Xiao Feng felt that he had become half an agricultural expert.

However, he is still very happy to see that the tribe and territory are gradually becoming regular, after all, the good development of the tribe can provide him with more help in the development of the modern world, and more low-cost raw materials are the key to his fortune.

The world has thawed in the spring, and everyone has been sent out to work, farming and hunting, except for some craftsmen who have been left near the caves.

For example, the blacksmith who struck iron has basically built an iron-making furnace now, but it is only the simplest kind of furnace, because there is no iron ore nearby, and Xiao Feng has no plan to let them build any blast furnaces or the like.

After all, the number of people is too small, and there is no iron ore, so the main job of these blacksmiths is to repair weapons, and some unqualified waste products are directly melted and turned into agricultural tools.

Some of the farm tools brought by Xiao Feng provided very effective assistance to those farmers, such as iron plows and shovels, which greatly improved labor efficiency when turning over the land and farming.

And there are horses, horse-drawn iron ploughs can be cultivated much faster than people, when the time comes to domesticate bison, wild horses are successful, these livestock alone, can make their production efficiency greatly improved.

With the increase in production efficiency, these natives will be able to enter the agricultural civilization more quickly, and after the civilization level is raised, the future development of the tribe will also be on the fast track.

The horses brought by the Toulon cavalry, some of which were pregnant in winter, gave birth to foals in the spring, and were well taken care of by several herdsmen with animal husbandry experience.

There are also those craftsmen who can tann the skin, also began to look for saltpeter nearby, once they find saltpeter, they can tann the skin on a large scale, the leather can be made on a large scale, the previous reserve of cowhide and other animal skins can be more, once the leather industry develops, it can play a very big role in the development of the tribe.

Xiao Feng didn't plan to take these beast skins tanned by craftsmen back, he checked it before, in his world, all kinds of animal skins were specially purchased, but the price was not too expensive, Xiao Feng didn't look down on those small money now.

It is better to leave these animal skins and match the tribesmen with leather clothes and boots, and the warriors with leather armor, after all, they are well fed, they have to be warm, and they should pay attention to safety and protection, and such rewards can also stimulate the morale of the tribe.

Watching the growth and change of the tribe day by day, Xiao Feng also has a clearer and clearer plan for the future development of the tribe, and he cannot blindly ask for it, but also give back moderately, so as to make the tribe develop steadily for a long time.

After arranging the production work properly, Xiao Feng came to the place of the pass again, and after saving the Duchess Dukedi and the Knight of Kell, he had never had contact with the orcs again.

It may be that the winter needs a cat winter, or it may be that this place is too remote and the road is too difficult to walk, anyway, after that time, their tribe has not encountered the problem of half-orcs harassing them.

But if they don't come, Xiao Feng will not relax his vigilance, he has already regarded the area south of this mountain pass as his own territory, his foundation, then he must have the consciousness of defending the territory, and he must guard against the orcs who may come to invade the territory at any time.
