Chapter 026: Lead by example and plough the fields
"In farming, first the wasteland here is reclaimed, weeds are removed, the land is loosened, and then ditches are opened to bring water from the river into the land, and oxen are used as an example to harrow the fields, and finally, sow seeds, and when the rice grows into seedlings, transplant ......"
Early the next morning, Jingwei and Xunyue had gathered the women of the clan, and Chen Long began to teach the basic process of planting rice, a crop, while talking about it, and demonstrating it by comparison.
After an explanation and demonstration, the women in the clan seemed to understand it, but they were more confused.
O heaven, O earth!
Why do you have a pair of eyes that are circled? Can't I express it clearly?
Chen Long beckoned, and called other big men, including Gonggong, Prince Changqin, Xingtian, Chi You, etc., to reclaim the wasteland, "You, a few men, come with me!
Jingwei and Xunyue listened most carefully and learned the most carefully, and they almost mastered the essence of it.
When Chen Long took those men to reclaim the wasteland, Jingwei gathered the women together, and then ordered: "You come with me and go collect rice seeds!"
Then, it began to divide into two waves, Chen Long led the men to reclaim the wasteland, and Jingwei and Xunyue led the women to collect rice seeds.
As for what kind of rice, Chen Long took Jingwei and Xunyue along the riverbank as early as yesterday, and some green grass with grains growing on it, that is, rice.
Therefore, Jingwei and Xunyue have taken the women along the watered areas to teach the women what rice is and how to collect rice seeds.
Some of the children were happy, following the women, frolicking and chasing, some of the well-behaved children joined in collecting rice seeds, and some of the mischievous children would grab the mud from the puddle and smear it all over their bodies, so that they could get rid of a loach alive.
"Before reclaiming wasteland, burn these weeds with fire to burn off the weeds so that they can loosen the soil and turn the ground, and these grass ashes can be used as fertilizer to make the land fertile and conducive to the growth of crops!"
While commanding, Long Chen personally went to the ground to demonstrate, and asked Zhu Rong and them to get the fire and burn this wasteland clean.
The fire was full of flames, and the sound of "beep beep" attracted all the old and young women and children of the tribe, and watched Chen Long personally work in the land, and those clansmen saw this and joined the ranks one after another.
Jingwei and Xunyue looked back at Long Chen from time to time, telling him that he was already sweating, but he was still working enthusiastically with his clansmen.
"Miss, this time, Emperor Yan ......"
Jingwei smiled and said faintly: "Hey...... Miss Xunyue, you still call me 'Miss'?
Xunyue's face turned red, and she said shyly: "Then what else do you call you, don't you also call me 'Xunyue girl'?"
"Hee-hee, mother!" Jingwei also blushed and shouted.
Xunyue was even more red-faced, her heart was pounding, since she had become Chen Long's wife, of course she was Jingwei's mother.
It's just that Xunyue is the same age as Jingwei, and this "mother" is really awkward.
"Oh, what do you call me mother, I'm ashamed, Jingwei, you can call me sister in the future!"
"Oh, that's not good, my dad will say I'm uneducated, hehe, you're married to my dad, of course you should be called your mother......!
After all, Xunyue is a few years older than Jingwei, and it seems understandable to see her say this, so she has to say: "Little girl, she has sharp teeth, be careful not to get married!
"Good, good...... Mother's sister, hee-hee......" Jingwei said with a grimace.
"Little girl, beg to beat!" After speaking, Xunyue chased after Jingwei, "Make fun of me, I will catch you, and I won't tear your mouth......"
After some painstaking personal demonstration and teaching, the tribesmen finally began to go to the road, mastered the basic process of planting crops, and then, began to remove weeds and weeds, dig ditches and ditches, and a few elderly tribesmen, actually brought a few fat and strong buffaloes out of nowhere.
Chen Long not only sighed, God really helped me, so he found the animal skin scroll and Mobao, and drew a picture of an ox ploughing and plow rake on the animal skin scroll, and asked Xingtian and the others to find a tree trunk with a similar shape and make a plough and rake for ploughing the land.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this group of people are gods and craftsmen, and Chen Long ordered that after a while, they would be able to come up with tools that satisfied Chen Long.
Then he ordered the buffalo to be led down to the field and the rake was placed on the buffalo's body, knowing that no one had any experience in farming, so he had to demonstrate himself, swinging the bullwhip and whipping the buffalo.
He took a deep breath, and when it came to plowing the land, he wasn't good at it, but at least he had never eaten pork, and he was the only one who had ever seen a pig run.
Besides, he was born in a rural area, and when he was a child, he had seen adults plough the land with oxen, so whether he was a toddler in Handan or painting a scoop with a gourd, he had to drive the buffalo and start plowing the land.
But he was not skilled enough, and this buffalo was also wild and difficult to train, so he didn't listen to the call at all.
Chen Long waved his whip and whipped it, and the buffalo began to gallop, and Chen Long carried the plow and rake, and ran wildly all the way.
One accidentally, he fell to the ground with a fight, and his whole body was covered in mud, and the fall was so painful that it exploded.
The tribesmen sighed for a while, some people pinched a cold sweat for Chen Long, and some watched the excitement, who would believe that the buffalo could plough the land.
The uproar attracted Jingwei and Xunyue, and the two of them also hurriedly ran over to see the excitement, seeing that Long Chen was covered in mud, like a mud man.
He hammered his fist into the dirt, gritted his teeth and said secretly: "MD, I don't believe it, I don't even know how to plow the land." The tribesmen behind me are watching, and I have to overcome it. ”
So, he crawled and got up from the dirt again, rushed over and grabbed the rake, waved the whip, and whipped the buffalo wildly, "Be obedient, I won't have to whip you, be honest with me, and plow the land well!"
While whipping the buffalo, he held down the rake and plunged it into the ground.
As if he understood Long Chen's words, the buffalo shook its head, and with a long roar of "moo...... in its mouth, it turned forward little by little, dragging the plough and rake steadily, and began to gradually become proficient and enter a normal state of cultivated land.
Those clansmen were dumbfounded when they looked at Chen Long, although he looked embarrassed, but in the end, he was able to let that buffalo plow the land.
"Dad, you're amazing!" Jingwei shouted as he put his hands to his mouth and headed into the field.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The rest of the clansmen applauded, and for a moment thunderous applause rang out at the edge of the field.
Chen Long was like beating the blood of a chicken, and even more so beating the buffalo, which had already been tamed by him, obediently ploughing the land in the way he wanted.
