In the third month of Xiao Yiran's pregnancy, the violent pregnancy reaction made it a little difficult for her to adapt. Not to mention meat, vegetables and fruits, Xiao Yiran will vomit whenever he eats it. For nearly a month, he could only rely on rice gruel to survive. The women in the clan who have given birth are helpless when they look at the increasingly haggard emperor, and they don't know why their emperor has such a strong pregnancy reaction.

The saddest thing is Xuan Liang, seeing that the emperor can't eat anything, barely living on two bowls of gruel every day, his face is getting more and more haggard, and his body is visibly emaciated, Xuan Liang keeps his head down every day and follows Xiao Yiran, like a child who has made a big mistake. Xiao Yiran had to comfort Xuan Liang softly.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, it's not your fault besides, it'll be fine in a few days."

When Xiao Yiran resumed eating and drinking normally, the hearts of all the clansmen were relaxed, and the happiest was Xuan Liang, no longer with that look of annoyance, but always showing the pride of being a father. Let Xuan Yi see it in his eyes and often tease him.

"Xuan Liang knows what he did wrong?"

Xuan Liang didn't care, he always threw Xuan Yi a grinning little face, and sometimes he couldn't help but make a grimace. The childishness that Xuan Liang showed when he was happy made Xuan Yi cry and laugh.

"I'm going to be a father, and I'm still the same as a child who doesn't grow up."

In the hearts of people in this era, there is no concept of competing for the leader, as long as the emperor gives birth to the first girl without any shortcomings, it will be logical to become the heir to the throne of the dragon family. If it's a boy, you have to wait for the next pregnancy to give birth.

At the end of the third month when cotton, sorghum, rape, and barley are planted, the cotton has flower bones, the sorghum and barley have been headed, and the rape has also bloomed tender yellow buds. As Xiao Yiran expected, as the cotton blooms, there are not only insects in the flowers, but also insects in the roots of the cotton. Although the elders of the dragon clan were called to hunt pests for the cotton, a quarter of the cotton withered and died. Sorghum, barley, and rape were all harvested in four and a half months, and with the exception of the poor barley harvest, the rape harvest was the best, with yields much higher than soybeans. Sorghum is also good, but the sorghum ears are eaten a lot by birds. Only one-third of the cotton bears white flowers.

Xiao Yiran instructed Hongguo:

"The cotton will continue to bloom until the plant withers, so every day we have to send people to the field to pick cotton, and after the cotton is dried, it is spread on the ground, and it is beaten with slender branches until the cotton seeds are knocked out. Remember, cottonseed can also be squeezed for oil, don't waste it. ”

Recently, there was an incident that made Xiao Yiran worry again. It is the soybean oil that is squeezed out of the water, and whenever it is stir-fried, it will crackle and burst. Xiao Yiran ordered people to dry the soybeans used to extract oil very dry, but only reduced the moisture in the soybean oil, and did not disappear completely. Xiao Yiran couldn't think of what to do for a while.

One day, Xiao Yiran was looking at the soybeans in front of him and was worried, and suddenly remembered that before he was reborn, every time on the second day of February, his mother would fry beans for himself to eat, not only greedy. asked Xuan Yi to ask for a copper tripod from Liang Mu and fried soybeans in front of him, the reason why this was so was that Xiao Yiran was worried that Xuan Yi, who had never fried it, fried the beans raw, or fried them. Watching the soybeans in the copper tripod crackle at the high temperature, Xiao Yiran felt a thrill, why not fry the soybeans and then squeeze the oil, so that the water in the beans can be eliminated?

After trying it, as expected, the oil squeezed from the fried beans no longer has moisture. Xiao Yiran excitedly ordered Xuan Yi:

"Let the oil extractor fry the soybeans, rapeseed and cottonseed in advance, fry the water in it and then squeeze the oil."

The clansmen are no longer surprised that their emperor often comes up with some strange things, but in their hearts, whether the emperor admits it or not, they have long regarded the emperor as the true embodiment of the gods. The awe of Xiao Yiran is also increasing day by day.

As the saying goes: conceive in October, give birth in one day. As Xiao Yiran's production date approached, there was obviously a tense atmosphere spreading among the ethnic group. The four great wizards, including Xuan Yi and Xiao An, who had specially rushed back from Longshan, followed Xiao Yiran at all times. Coupled with eight maids and seventeen guards, no matter where Xiao Yiran went, they were all a huge group of people. The closer he got to production, Xiao Yiran opened his mind instead, since he couldn't get rid of it, he faced it bravely, and he couldn't solve the problem if he was afraid. Xiao Yiran still wanders around every day.

On this day, Xiao Yiran wandered to the ten elephants he got from the elephant clan, and the original two baby elephants had also grown up. The female elephant mount prepared for Xiao Yiran, Xiao Yiran has not used it once. Originally, five elephants were arranged to pull the chariot, but since there were war horses, they were also idle.

"Xuanyi, call Liang Mu."

When Liang Mu came to the pot-bellied emperor and saluted respectfully, Xiao Yiran said to him:

"Liang Mu, these ten elephants belong to your manufacturing department. You can help you pull copper mines, or you can transport wood for charcoal burning, and you have to take good care of them, which is a rare strong man. ”

After Liang Mu led people to take away the elephant, Xuan Yi asked Xiao Yiran:

"Emperor, why don't you leave that female elephant as a mount?"

"It's still not necessary, the elephant is too big, and it's not convenient to go up and down, so it's better to use the horse as a mount after giving birth."

After several years of development, the dragon clan already has enough linen and silk cloth, and Xiao Yiran has already ordered the Ministry of Textiles to give every woman over the age of six a bra and a silk trouser for each person. For men, each has a pair of sackcloth shorts. Since then, the dragons have said goodbye to the days of covering themselves with leaves.

Thinking that I want to ride a horse in the future, I can't ride a naked horse like the ancients, the saddle has to be done. I had been to a horse farm many times before I was reborn, and I not only learned to ride a horse, but also had a general understanding of the structure of the saddle. Xiao Yiran started again, drew a sketch of the saddle, and how to hang the horse's reins, and sent Xuanyi to send it to Liang Mu.

Although Xiao Yiran thought of everything, he never thought of practicing monogamy in the clan. Xiao Yiran knew what the number of people meant in this ancient era. Since conquering the elephant tribe and annexing the turtle tribe, after nearly three years of reproduction, the number of the clan has increased rapidly. This is mainly due to the improvement of accommodation and the increase in the variety of food needed for life, which has extended the life expectancy of the tribesmen. From the original 30s to 40s, don't underestimate the life expectancy of these teenagers, that is, it has been extended for more than ten years, and the number of ethnic groups has only seen a large positive increase. Therefore, Xiao Yiran only asked Xuan Yi and Xiao An to strictly prohibit the union of close relatives, and did not prohibit the custom of marriage.

Xiao Yiran had already planned in his heart that after expanding to the Yellow River Valley, he would annex some ethnic groups, and when the number of clansmen exceeded 5,000 and approached 10,000, it would not be too late to implement monogamy.

In order to further increase the lifespan of the clansmen and allow the clan to grow more rapidly, Xiao Yiran gave several orders one after another.

First, no one is allowed to eat prey; Second, all grains must be processed and matured before they can be used; Third, adults should try not to quote raw water; Fourth, further increase the punishment of people who defecate and defecate in the open area.
