In the newly opened paddy fields in Jinguancheng, the rice planted is growing well.

When Han Cheng left from here with the people, the sparse paddy fields were already much denser at this time.

At that time, the seedlings planted not only grew a lot taller, but also had a lot more leaves, and some of them began to multiply.

It looks a lot like that.

There are some places where the soil is more fertile, and the rice that grows looks like the leaves are dark green, and if there are no accidents, when it comes time to harvest, there will definitely be a good harvest.

In the rice fields, there are some swimming fish that are flicking their tails and swimming happily.

Sometimes they will float to the surface of the water and eat the blades of grass and dust that float on the water.

The people living in Jinguan City, according to Han Cheng's instructions, often got some grass that had been cut off and threw it into the paddy fields to feed the fish.

When the fish eat the grass, the fish feces formed can be used to fertilize the fields and promote the growth of rice.

As for the grass that has not been eaten by the fish, after it has rotted, it can also fertilize the field.

Of course, even if this is the case, you can't throw too much grass into the rice field at once.

This is because rotten grass can deplete the oxygen in the water and pollute the water source.

It doesn't matter if the number is small, if the number is large, many of the fish in it will not survive.

Han Cheng knew this very well, because it was a very painful experience.

When he was a child, there was a boom in cultivating shiitake mushrooms in Han Cheng's hometown.

At that time, their shiitake mushrooms had already made a lot of fame, and it is said that some of them had already been exported.

In those days, it was a great thing to be able to earn foreign exchange through exports.

Growing shiitake mushrooms is far more profitable than growing crops.

In such a wave, Han Cheng's family also planted shiitake mushrooms with several families in the village.

After getting up early and working late and working hard for a year, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a lot of money.

It's not that you're careless, it's not that your strength hasn't come down, it's not that the harvest of shiitake mushrooms is bad, it's because the price of shiitake mushrooms plummeted that year.

The reason why it is like this is because some smart people at that time first hit steel balls or iron bars into the legs of the mushrooms before picking the mushrooms and putting them on the kang to turn them into dried shiitake mushrooms.

In this way, after the mushroom kang is dried, these things will remain inside, and there will be no flaws to be seen.

Such a thing can only seek temporary benefits, but it is impossible to seek lifelong benefits.

As soon as the reputation was bad, more than half of the previous buyers did not come, and then they stopped cooking......

Han Cheng's family planted that year.

However, shiitake mushrooms are no longer grown, and some of the infrastructure built when growing shiitake mushrooms is still there.

For example, the pool used to soak mushroom bags.

The pool is made of bricks, and the inside and outside are carefully coated with cement, and the waterproof effect is still good.

So, he carried a few loads of silt into it, added some water, and then buried a few sections of lotus roots in it, and planted lotus flowers in it.

Later, when there was more water in it, I put some fish and shrimp in it and let them grow in it.

Of course, these fish and shrimp were all caught by Han Cheng from the river.

Instead of using something as high-end as a fish pot, I directly blocked both ends of an area and splashed the water inside with a basin to dry it out one by one.

The big ones are eaten at home, and the small ones are put into the mushroom pond and raised.

The thinking of a child is always different from that of an adult.

Han Cheng's parents were uncomfortable with the loss of money for growing shiitake mushrooms at home, but the children in the village envied Han Cheng's family for having a large pond that could raise lotus flowers and fish.

Han Cheng himself was proud of this.

The tragedy occurred when Han Cheng was in his first year of junior high school.

Thinking that after entering junior high school, he would not be able to feed the fish every day as before, and he was worried that the fish would be hungry, so Han Chengcheng got a lot of grass and threw it into the pond to feed the fish.

As a result, after five days in junior high school, the mushroom pond stinks and the fish are dead......

Underneath the paddy field, no further farmland was cultivated.

On the one hand, it was because Han Cheng wanted to hit the power and first build the outer wall of Jinguan City.

On the other hand, it is not easy to open up paddy fields in such a season when there is a lot of rain in the summer, and the canals that are temporarily built, collect the river water, and divert the river are easily washed away by the water, and the manpower and material resources are consumed in vain......

A little farther away from the bustling Jinguan City, some people from the tribe who are good at digging traps and hunting are digging and arranging traps there, ready to use them to hunt for prey.

Farther away, men with weapons on their backs and bows and arrows in their hands were walking cautiously, looking for prey and preparing to hunt.

These are all the people of the Qingque tribe arranged by Han Cheng, where they hunt and get food for the people of the Qingque tribe.

For the current Jinguan City, food is the most fatal problem, just relying on the food they carried when they left from the Blue Sparrow Lord Tribe, it really can't last too long.

After all, just on the way here, more than half of the goods they carried had already been consumed.

The rest of the food can't last too long.

Therefore, under the guidance of Han Cheng, Jinguancheng began a journey to obtain food in every possible way while taking care of various things such as building a wall.

Traps, fish cages, fishing nets, rabbit sets, bows and arrows, etc., are all used passively.

Even some places where birds can easily fly are spread out nets to catch those birds that fly through them and make them food to eat.

Many birds are not very big and do not have much meat on their bodies

However, this is not a reason to be let go by the Qingque tribesmen.

No matter how small it is, there is always some flesh on the body.

After processing it, it is boiled together with wild vegetables, and the taste is still much better than that of simple wild vegetables.

The Qingque tribe basically does not raise idlers, unless it is really immovable work, otherwise it will definitely be assigned to some work.

The same is true of the people who came to Jinguan City with Han Cheng.

Under the operation of Han Cheng, a black-hearted divine son, these people who came to Jinguan City basically didn't have much rest, and they had already devoted themselves to all kinds of labor.

No, you can't do that, because there's a lot to keep busy here.

And what people are most afraid of is actually idleness, as long as they are idle, they are prone to accidents.

It is also for this reason that at this time, there was such a busy scene in Jinguan City of the Qingque Tribe.

This kind of busyness seems to be very effective.

As everyone was busy, many domed huts appeared in the inner courtyard of Jinguan City, and with the slave huts outside, all the people were temporarily settled.

The wall outside Jinguan City has also improved somewhat, and more than half of the foundation has been burned into pottery by the people of the tribe with firewood and other things.

All kinds of food were collected by people from all over the world to Jinguan City and entered the stomachs of everyone......

Because the food is relatively tight now, Han Cheng has also made some arrangements to deal with the current situation.

In terms of the principle of eating food, it is still similar to the road from Jinguancheng.

Eat as much food as you can from the surrounding area, and try not to use anything like millet that you bring from Jinguan Castle.

These are the general existences that Han Cheng regards as reserve grain.

In terms of food consumption, it is no longer the same as before, which allows people to let go of their stomachs to eat, but a rough standard has been formulated.

One criterion for adults and one criterion for minors, quantified.

At the beginning, when I was in high school, my ideological and political teacher liked to recite a sentence when he was talking about economic life.

Han Cheng remembers this sentence very clearly - spending money is an art, and saving money is equal to increasing income.

Han Cheng felt that this sentence was very correct, especially when he grew up, he felt that this sentence was more and more correct.

Because he remembered it clearly and agreed with it very much, all Han Cheng learned and used it very skillfully, and applied it to the food of the tribe very skillfully.

When food is not sufficient, this wartime-like policy is still very good to use.

Of course, it is not enough to reduce expenditure alone, and it also needs to be cooperated by open source.

After all, if it is not open source, the total amount of food will be placed here, and no matter how much you save, you will not be able to save anywhere.

In addition to hunting, gathering wild vegetables, catching fish and shrimp, etc., there is also an important open source method.

This method is to turn the food of the rest of the tribe into their own tribe.

Han Cheng didn't want the people of the Qingque tribe to go to the surrounding tribes to rob them of their food, and on the premise that there were other solutions, he would never touch this line.

After all, to be a man, there must always be some bottom line.

Of course, this is based on the availability of other solutions.

If something can't be done, and there's really no other solution, that's a different story.

What Han Cheng meant was that through trade, he exchanged the food of the rest of the tribe with pottery and salt produced by his own tribe.

At the beginning, Han Cheng still thought about coming over and announced that the rest of the tribes could exchange different stones for their own tribe's pottery and salt, so that through this method, they could find sulfur, coal and other things as quickly as possible.

Now that he is here, in the face of such a situation, Han Cheng can only temporarily suppress these things in his heart and ignore them.

Sulfur, saltpeter, coal, and other things are important, but when food is scarce, it is still far less than food.

Only by concentrating his efforts first and passing through the current difficult time would Han Cheng announce to the older female primitives that they could use the stones in exchange.

The matter of trade has actually been going on here in Jinguan City all the time.

For example, the older female primitives who were fooled by him into embarking on the road of the second trader, as well as the hunchbacked primitives of the nest tribe, are all using their own way to earn food for the Qingque tribe.

In the past, this was a good way to get a lot of food.

But now, as the food in the tribe becomes more strained, it seems that it is a little insufficient.

So Han Sung wanted to do some of the rest.

This thing is to set up a trade team of the Qingque tribe again, so that Mao, a former trade warrior, once again leads the team and leads the people in the tribe to exchange salt and pottery for food for their tribe from the surrounding tribes.

Compared with the way of obtaining food in this era such as hunting and gathering, the exchange of food is still more and faster.

The last time Han Cheng came, it was because there were not enough people coming, and he wanted to build the inner courtyard as soon as possible, and the pressure on food was not so great, so Han Cheng cultivated older female primitives and their batch of second-class dealers.

Now the situation has changed, and with the arrival of these thousands of people, Jinguan City is no longer as short of manpower as before.

On the contrary, due to the increase in population, there is a lot of pressure on food, so there is a change in countermeasures.

The people of their own tribe personally formed a trading team and marched around the tribe to trade with those tribes around the tribe.

You have to earn more than if you were a 'wholesaler', after all, there are no middlemen who are making the difference.

And this has the advantage of being able to assimilate the surrounding tribes in the process of trade.

It's just like the Blue Sparrow League before it.

After a long period of operation, it is not impossible for another copy of the Blue Sparrow Alliance to appear around Jinguan City.

That's time......

Thinking about this, Han Cheng looked at the hot Jinguan City, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

When the time comes, the tribe will surely become even more prosperous than it is now!

There were previous successful cases in the past, which made Han Cheng more confident when he did these things again.

However, the fact that his tribe has begun to trade directly does not mean that there will be no need for older female primitives and their second-class dealers in the future.

After all, this world is vast enough, and while their own tribe begins to take the initiative to trade with the rest of the surrounding tribes, it can also accommodate the older female primitives and trade with the rest of the tribes.

This sounds very noble when it comes out, but in fact, the real reason is that the food and other things that the older female primitives transported are very considerable.

This stinky and shameless son of God is the food delivered by the gluttonous family......

After determining these things and thinking about them repeatedly, after making sure that there was no big problem, Han Chengcheng went to find trade.

Mao, a gifted fellow, was now darker, and when Han Cheng found him, he was with the people of the tribe, where he was ramming the earth with tools.

This person, who is about the same age as the second senior brother, does not look as young as before now, and shows some old age.
