Chapter 90

All the tribes gathered in Zhu Rui's felt tent, but fortunately, the weather is warmer now, and it is not too cold to live in the felt tent. Zhu Rui said: "Preliminary analysis, you raise free-range livestock, it is better to raise them in captivity, and fix them in one place first, in winter, no matter how cold the livestock is in the house, they can survive the winter, and they will not freeze to death." When the spring flowers bloom, you can drive them out and put them around. However, it should be noted that the grass must be well maintained, sprinkled with grass seeds regularly, and if it is too bad, maintained for a few years in the past. Regarding Zhu Rui's statement, some people looked solemn, some people were skeptical, and some people scoffed.

For thousands of years, the ancestors have been grazing in this way, and there is no reason why it will not work with them. The patriarch of the Yehenala tribe was the first to surrender, and at this time he also supported Zhu Rui's decision: "These are nothing, just fixed residence, once there is a problem with livestock, I am afraid that the people will not have enough food and peace." Zhu Rui said: "This king has sent people, all of them are experienced old farmers, when the time comes, let these people follow and learn, once the main business is formed, grazing is secondary." ”

There was a lot of talk about it, and they were all skeptical of this new thing. Zhu Rui also knew that it was not an overnight thing to get them to change their habits, so he didn't intervene, sat aside with a teacup, and let them argue.

As a result of the controversy, more than half of the tribes temporarily agreed with Zhu Rui's opinion to build a fixed place to live and see it in a year or two. A few tribes are still in a wait-and-see state and have reservations for the time being.

Lin Zimo doesn't care, there is a process of introducing any new thing, as long as someone agrees, it will take effect quickly. After discussing with Zhu Rui, it was decided to go back with his first supporter, Hamed of the Yehnara tribe, to guide his tribe in building a new homeland. As for the rest of the place, the people who followed behind him divided up a little, and followed the other tribes who agreed to do so, but fortunately there were many people who followed, and this dispersion left only his original two thousand escorts with him.

In modern times, Lin Zimo did not reach the point of reading a wide range of books, but he was still competent to guide these ancients. The territory of the Yehenara tribe is in a semi-mountainous and semi-plain place, Lin Zimo paid attention to it, the land in the plain area is quite fertile, and the stream flowing down from the mountains forms a small river, winding into the distance, which is a good place to live for a long time.

The Yehnara tribe welcomed Zhu Rui's arrival, probably under the influence of their patriarch Hamad, and there was too much desire in their earnest eyes. Hamed is actually only in his thirties, but he has sideburns and beard, looks like an old man, and only has a pair of wise eyes that glow with wisdom.

The Yehnara tribe is only a small and medium-sized tribe, and Lin Zimo believes that as long as Hamad is given space to develop, he can fly with his tribe. The population of the tribe is more than 20,000 people, all young and old greeted them, and by the river, large and small tents were set up, and the children curiously circled around Lin Zimo and them, and even the brave ones came up to touch the clothes they were wearing.

The people who live on this grassland can only wear all kinds of animal skin clothes, and this kind of shiny clothing, in their cognition, can only be worn by the wealthy.

Zhu Rui waved his hand to stop the guards from driving the child away. Even though these children are dirty, you can feel the kindness they unleash. Hamed laughed heartily: "Distinguished guests, I beg your pardon, the children have no ill intentions. Zhu Rui nodded, here, you can't see the ruthlessness of the Tatar soldiers on the battlefield at all, and they are also full of yearning for a new life like the people of the Han Dynasty.

Hamed wanted to invite everyone to live in his big tent, but Zhu Rui declined, and only rested in his big tent. Hamed's tent is not as luxurious as Lin Zimo imagined, it is larger than ordinary tents, and the main use is white felt tents, only on the wall of the tent, two colorful tapestries are hung to show the difference. Nodding secretly, this patriarch of the Yehenara clan is really for the sake of the clansmen, and he doesn't enjoy it for himself at all.

On the way, they had also entered the tents of the chiefs of other tribes, and they were dressed in luxury. Not only the walls and ceilings are decorated with colorful tapestries and satins, but also the colorful Persian carpets under your feet.

The guards outside were busy for a while, setting up a tent around the middle king's tent. It is a little away from the densely populated crowds, which not only retains its own privacy, but also keeps away from the dirt over there, especially the smell of all kinds of livestock, which is simply unpleasant. It was hard to talk just now, Lin Zimo decided that when the fixed residence was built, the first thing to grasp was sanitation work, otherwise, not only would people not be able to stand it, but the livestock would be kept in captivity, and if the sanitation was not done well, he was afraid of the plague.

The king's tent was set up first, and the two tents were connected together, with a large tent in front to discuss matters and a smaller tent in the back that served as their bedroom. Lin Zimo didn't care about the big tent, and the tent behind him had to live for a while, and the interest came up, and the commanding Xiao Yan and An Le turned around.

The white felt carpet processed by Lin Zimo's guidance, if you don't smell it carefully, there is not much smell, the surrounding walls and the ground are covered with this kind of felt carpet, and the big bed in the middle is also covered with white silk sheets, and two small Bogu shelves are placed, on one side are small antiques, on the other side are all kinds of books, under the small window opened, a small table, two chairs, suddenly come in, both clean and tidy, it is like that.

They also brought a lot of craftsmen this time, and from the next day, they were optimistic about the location of the village. This is a higher terrain place, drought and flood can ensure safety, after the choice, there are craftsmen who know how to burn green bricks, teach people to burn green bricks, to prepare for building a house, but after all, green bricks are time-consuming and laborious, and finally decided, build the kind of adobe and green brick combination of the house, both strong and warm.

The current soil is not valuable, and after the decision is made, the whole clan is in full swing. Hamed took Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo around, and there were people with hope in their eyes everywhere, and the children stopped playing and followed with some odd jobs. The making of adobe is very simple, make a wooden formwork, it is a person can dry, the raw material is also the cement that does not like to grow crops, put the stirred clay, put it in the template, grind it on the top, remove the template, it is a complete adobe, and then wait for it to dry and you can use it.

The herdsmen studied very seriously, and their dark faces were full of strictness. This is what they will live on in the future, a new skill, and they don't have to wander around.

The green bricks from a kiln were also burned, and the work of building a house was put on the agenda. Most of the houses are three positive and three down, plus the small courtyard houses on the left and right, so that there are four or five people in the family can also live, and there are really many people, plus two main houses. In fact, Lin Zimo is also very nervous, he has a down-to-earth life, and slowly sinicizes, this is his plan, yes, but it is troublesome to implement, in fact, in modern times, they also entered the customs by themselves, and they sinicized themselves.

It can be seen from here that these people also yearn for a stable life from their hearts, hoping that they are not wrong this time. When spring arrives, everything recovers, the snow on the ground has basically melted, and the yellow-black earth is revealed, and there is a green patch everywhere.

In addition to building houses, some people were also set aside to start plowing the land. The herdsmen had no experience at all, let alone all kinds of tools, but fortunately, Zhu Rui and they had already prepared and brought in a batch of farming tools. The herdsmen had nothing, but the cattle and horses were the most, and they watched the ploughs pulling the ploughs and ploughing the land in a deep ditch, followed by people, clumsily scattering the seeds, and the onlookers were smiling with their faces full of folds.

God also gives face, and as soon as all the land that can be cultivated is finished, a light rain falls on the ground. The spring rains are as expensive as oil, and in the past few days after this rain, the wheat and corn that have been planted, as well as the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the thin fields, have all sent out small green shoots.

Squatting on the edge of the ground, Lin Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, it seems right, although it can't be the same as the south, producing two crops a year, but there is not much problem with one crop, plus the captive livestock, the herdsmen have no big problem to eat. As long as they can eat enough, they will not be thinking about plundering everywhere, and the northern land will be peaceful.

Zhu Rui touched Lin Zimo's face distressedly, and this little face became even thinner. For the great cause of the peace in the north, his Zimo couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, and now he finally saw some achievements.

Judging from the results reported from various places, Zimo's proposal has been successful for most of the time. As long as this batch of crops is harvested smoothly and the yield is large, Zimo will be completely successful and become the first person in thousands of years.

There is no need to worry about the fertilizer of the land, and the herders use the manure of their livestock at most, and even use it for cooking. Fortunately, it is not too far from the mountains, and there are dry bushes and dry branches and leaves, otherwise you would not be able to eat if you have to carry something to cook.

If the fertilizer can keep up, the crops will grow well, and the land that has been cultivated for many years is fertile, and the crops are very gratifying. By the time the village was formed, the crops were half a man's height.

The good momentum has also attracted small nomadic tribes of hundreds or thousands of people in the vicinity to join in. There were more and more people, and gradually formed a large town of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the water of the small river alone could no longer meet the needs of the people.

Hamad was very proud, his face was full of red light, and he found Zhu Rui and arched his hand: "The Yehenara tribe has today, thanks to the prince and the king, now that the town has taken shape, I hope the prince will give him a name." Zhu Rui was also very happy, watching a new town form in his hands, it was also a very face-saving thing, and said happily: "You are the first all-round sound place here, and it is a good start in the north, so it is called the red door." ”
