Chapter 649: It's okay, you can continue to grow food here
Now that the walls of the Qingque tribe have expanded and the population has increased, it is not good to simply use drainage ditches like before, and all Han Chengcheng remembered that compared to the masonry, it is much more convenient and faster to build pottery pipes.
For Heiwa, who can make a large vat, it is not too difficult to make clay pots that can be connected together.
After Han Cheng said his request and wrote and drew on the ground for a while, Heiwa, who understood what was going on, was already happily doing it......
In the more and more frequent legitimate actions of Uncle Deer lying on the little doe, the weather is getting warmer day by day.
Another spring rain fell, knocking down the withered remnants of the ground.
The rape had just risen upwards and had not yet had time to reveal a golden yellow.
In the fields after ploughing and harrowing, some people have begun to sow early millet with deer and carts.
Many tiny grains slid down the barn, carrying the most simple hope of the people of the Qingque tribe into the wet soil.
Farther away, there are still people using tools such as pickaxes and copper lifts, working hard to reclaim wasteland.
There is no way, with the expansion of the tribe, it is bound to occupy the cultivated land around the tribe.
In order not to reduce the amount of arable land in the tribe, people had to continue to cultivate wasteland further afield.
On the periphery of the courtyard, Han Cheng and the more 'idle' people such as the lame and the stone began to confirm the location of the new fence with a stick.
The rest of the work can only be carried out once the location of the new wall has been determined.
Wu was also involved, and at the beginning, while enclosing the ground, he imagined everything on the renderings, and the more he made it, the more he was happy.
But when everyone circled this piece of things, Wu couldn't be happy, because a lot of cultivated land was enclosed.
But these good plots are enclosed and built into houses, and how much less grain will be harvested in a year!
Such a large area of cultivated land was enclosed, and Han Cheng didn't want to see it, after all, the total amount of cultivated land in the Qingque tribe was not too much.
Now that so much land has been enclosed at once, and it is still good to think about it, it is distressing.
"You can still grow food here......
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng said with a smile to Wu and Shishi, Lame and the others.
As soon as these words came out, Wu and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, but then they became puzzled again.
Isn't it clear that the picture is clearly drawn, and there will be houses and all kinds of circles built here at that time? How can you still grow food?
Hearing Wu Jiren's question, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile, it is true that construction is going to be carried out here, but these buildings cannot be completed overnight.
Not to mention the rest, just this wall, if you want to get it up, this year is a bit hanging.
In this way, food can continue to be grown in the wide space of the new and old walls.
Harvesting a crop of millet and beans is absolutely no problem.
And even after the wall is completed, the construction of pigsty and granaries needs to be carried out slowly, so that most of the enclosed land can be planted for about two more years.
With these two years as a buffer, the newly opened land of the Qingque tribe can completely eliminate the loss caused by the loss of these cultivated land, and will not affect the tribe's food production.
As soon as Han Cheng's words came out, Wu and the others, who were feeling uncomfortable with the loss of a large piece of fertile land, suddenly lit up.
Yes, these things can't be built quickly, and most of the places can be farmed as long as there is a way out during this time.
How could I not think of such a simple thing......
As the days passed, the millet seeds buried in the soil sprouted and rippled in the spring breeze.
The excavated clay becomes a clay pipe, and it is piled up more and more.
The rape rose up little by little and bloomed brilliantly, attracting the bees of the Qingque tribe to buzz and shout slogans, and come over to kiss Fangze.
The pollen turns into sweet honey, and the falling flowers produce long canola pods......
With Han Cheng's order, Tietou and the others, who had long wanted to experience the taste of harvesting crops with a bronze sickle, couldn't wait to get out of the field.
The bronze scythe, glittering with golden light, swung swiftly to harvest the yellowed canola......
After more than ten days of hard work, the rape of the Qingque tribe went through the whole process from harvesting to being cleaned up, and even the rape fields after harvesting were turned over and planted with late millet and beans.
Having experienced the autumn harvest, it is not too easy for them to deal with such a small scene as harvesting rapeseed.
Dou, Huangguo and other people from the original Huangguo tribe looked at the land where there were young shoots drilling, and at the same time, some enlightenment rose to their hearts.
It's no wonder that the tribe used to trade precious salt and pottery for seeds and stones.
It turns out that these things that are not looked at by them will be so useful after such an operation!
You don't have to go out hunting, just rely on these to feed the entire tribe!
They have all eaten millet, and it tastes very good, but what do you do with the kind of beans that always have a swollen stomach after eating?
Recalling the wonderful experience of eating too many soybeans, Huang Guo and the others couldn't help but press their hands on their stomachs......
There will definitely be a lot of differences between the renderings and the real thing.
However, the effect of these renderings painted by Han Cheng is very obvious.
Everyone in the Qingque tribe who has seen it wants to quickly turn the things on the painting into real existence.
Therefore, this year's spring ploughing is very hard, compared with previous years, although there is a lot more land to cultivate, but the time is shorter.
Of course, there is also the common due credit of bronze agricultural tools.
"Let's go!"
As several of the downed bamboo poles were placed in the fire and made a few crackling sounds, Han Cheng picked up the copper and dug out a square piece of earth, and then shouted, announcing the official start of the Qingque tribe's major project to expand the tribe.
The people who had already been assigned work before took their tools, and after Han Cheng announced the start of construction, they enthusiastically threw themselves into the construction of the new wall.
Compared with the beginning, there are many more people in the Qingque tribe, and even if they have to divide a lot of people to do other things, there are still many people who can devote themselves to the construction of the wall after the spring ploughing.
There are almost a hundred, and at most it can exceed a hundred and fifty!
There are many people, and the tools are all shotguns, so even though the new wall of the Qingque tribe is much larger than the previous one, the progress is not slow.
When the people of the Qingque tribe were in full swing to expand the tribe, the bark of the north also set off with people......
