After determining the route from the Dragon Gate Inn to Wild Duck Lake, Han Cheng returned to Lotus Island.

Because he knows that these people are now familiar with the matter of building roads, and after the route is determined, he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the things, and these people in the tribe will do it well.

When the road repair team was repairing the road, Han Cheng, who came to Lotus Island, asked some of them to build houses on Lotus Island.

The place where the house was built is on the north side of the island.

Han Cheng really couldn't muster the courage to build a house on the south side of the island, and according to the number of birds resting on the island at night, it was estimated that it would not take two years to build a house here, and maybe it would be covered with a lot of bird droppings.

The place where Han Cheng built his house was relatively high, and it was still more than a hundred meters away from the top of the scum he could find on the north side of the island.

Building a house on Lotus Island is no better than building a house on a far away place from a river or lake, and you must take into account the rising water of the lake in summer and autumn.

Otherwise, it looks fine at this time, and when the water rises, there is a high chance that the house will be washed away and flooded.

Han Cheng didn't have any intention of letting people live on Lotus Island permanently, and the houses were only built for temporary habitation by people who excavated struvite stones, dug lotus roots, and later fished here, so they didn't need to be too high-quality.

When it was built, it was not rammed with earth walls, but with the same techniques used to build the deer pen.

It is to clear a vacant lot first, and then draw the outline of the foundation on which the house will be built.

Then the general will nail a wooden stick with an arm thickness, a height of more than a meter, and a sharpened end along the line, and nail one every 30 centimeters.

After nailing these nails, the sticks are woven with flexible branches in a positive and negative way up to the top.

After weaving, the inner and outer sides of the woven fence wall are thickly pasted with mud, so that the wall is finished.

Compared with rammed earth walls, this method of building walls is much faster and less labor-saving.

As for the roof, it is covered with tiles, because tiles are too easy to worry about compared to thatch.

As long as it is not hit by heavy objects or blown away by strong winds, as long as the tiles are laid, the roof will not break much.

Thatch is different, under the wind and sun, after a few years, some places will start to leak rain and need to be repaired.

As for the tiles for building houses, there is no need to worry, because from the beginning of the construction of the Longmen Inn, Heiwa took a few people in the tribe who did this to find a suitable place near the Longmen Inn, and began to build a kiln to burn tiles, and now there are a lot of finished products.

And the Dragon Gate Inn has not yet been built, and it is far from the time to go up the tile.

In addition, some of the people who built the houses were transferred by Han Cheng to repair the road, and the other part participated in the construction of the houses on Lotus Island, and the current Longmen Inn is in a state of suspension, and the time for tiling will continue to be pushed back.

Therefore, even if this batch of tiles is cut off, under the firing of the black baby, the time will not affect the tiles of the Longmen Inn.

However, the timber used in the construction of these houses on Lotus Island was cut down and transported from outside, except for a few trees that had to be cut down to build the island's roads.

Not only when building houses, but also from outside, even the firewood used for cooking fires is also transported from outside.

Han Cheng made a clear rule for everyone, that is, except for the dead branches that fell on the ground, when the fire was burned, it was not allowed to use wood from Lotus Island.

The trees on Lotus Island cannot be easily cut down.

And when you go to the southern tip of Lotus Island to get struvite and other things, don't make a lot of noise, and avoid the early morning and late afternoon, when the birds are at their most numerous.

At the same time, it is not allowed to shoot birds near Lotus Island.

The main purpose of making this series of decisions is that Han Cheng wants to protect the ecology of the island as much as possible, leaving these birds that inhabit Lotus Island and letting them make dung for his tribe for a long time.

While stating these regulations, Han Cheng also told everyone the purpose of doing so.

Because only when they know the purpose of doing this and understand the significance of doing it to the tribe, the people in the tribe will do these things more consciously, and they don't need people to follow behind and keep explaining.

This is something that Han Cheng has always insisted on in the tribe, and when he tells the tribesmen how to do it, he will also try his best to tell the people in the tribe why they do it, and what good changes it will make to the tribe and the lives of themselves and others.

Judging from the results today, the effect is very good, which allows the people in the tribe to strive for the same dream, and make spontaneous efforts for the tribe to become better, so that the tribe becomes more united and more positive.

Taizu once said that we come from all over the world for the same purpose......

Han Cheng remembered this text very clearly, acting consciously or unconsciously in the tribe will be affected by some influences, and the current situation of prosperity and unity in the tribe also shows the correctness of this approach.

With the efforts of the tribesmen, after the road from the Wild Duck Lake of the Longmen Inn was built, more than a dozen houses on the Lotus Island were also completed.

There is no wall around the house like the rest of the buildings built by the Qingque tribe, but a circle of fence walls about 1.2 meters high is nailed out with sticks around the house.

The reason why it is like this is because there are no poisonous insects and beasts on Lotus Island, and these days, the most ferocious animals encountered on Lotus Island, except for those birds that occasionally drop bombs, are only the old turtles that are fished up and eaten by the people of the tribe.

In such a situation, it is natural that there is no need to spend effort to build any walls.

After both were built, the people responsible for excavating and transporting struvite also piled up a large pile of struvite on the edge of Wild Duck Lake.

Seeing this, Han Cheng asked the people who built the bridge and the people who built the Longmen Inn to continue their previous work, and after two days of sightseeing, he and the people who devoted themselves to the great cause of work, loaded these struvite stones onto donkey carts or wheelbarrows, pulled them to the Longmen Station, and began to transport them to the Qingque main tribe.

The day before the return transportation, Han Cheng asked people to touch a batch of lotus roots, and those that could not be planted were eaten by people, and those that could be planted were transported back to the Qingque main tribe and the Tongshan residential area for planting.

At the same time, when Senior Brother Sha took some people to transport lotus roots to the Tongshan residential area, Han Cheng took out half a tiger talisman and asked Senior Brother Sha to take it and hand it over to Yan, and asked Yan to arrange for some people from the Tongshan residential area to come over and transport guano together.

Compared with the Tiger Talisman that formed a military alliance tribe with the Qingque Tribe, this Tiger Talisman in the Copper Mountain Settlement Area is one size larger, in order to show that the Copper Mountain Settlement is far superior to those military alliance tribes.

In today's situation, in fact, it is okay not to use the tiger talisman, as long as Han Cheng said that whoever will take the lead in guarding the Tongshan residential area, the people in the tribe will recognize it, and if he asks people to pass it on, no one will cheat.

However, there are certain forms and systems.

The system that seems dispensable now will become very important when the tribe grows stronger, so it is better to implement these methods now and let the people in the tribe become accustomed to them......

The people who remained in the tribe were not idle, but continued to be busy with the affairs of the tribe, weeding, herding sheep, feeding rabbits, etc.

The developed Qingque tribe always has a lot of things that need people to do.

In addition to these, some people in the tribe are also doing some other things.

In a field of grain, whose leaves were a little yellowish and did not look strong at all, some people were bending down to weed, and in addition to this, there were also some people, but they were acting strangely.

They carried a large rafter in the crook of one of their arms, and walked slowly forward through the vacated dragon.

As he walked, the other hand grabbed something from the rafter and began to wave his arm.

Let these things leak out of the deliberately left fingers, and scatter them as evenly as possible in the surrounding ground.

What they do now is spread fertilizer, which can also be called top dressing.

They grabbed a handful of struvites that were transported back from Lotus Island.

However, unlike the previous state of the stones, these struvite stones have now been smashed into fine granules, somewhat similar to the common chemical fertilizers of later generations.

The matter of top dressing was proposed by Han Cheng, so that these struvite stones transported back could play a role as soon as possible.

Moreover, these seedlings, which are not very strong, are also in urgent need of top dressing.

With this topdressing, when it is time to harvest, a lot of more grain can be harvested.

With the swaying of the crowd, these smashed struvite stones fell one after another, smashing on the leaves of the millet with a small cracking sound.

These men sprinkled in front, followed by those with hoes.

On the one hand, weeding loosens the soil, and on the other hand, the fertilizer that has been sprinkled is covered up with soil.

In this way, struvite can be better played.

This is the same as the principle that later generations of farmers planted the fields, generally taking advantage of the light rain, to top fertilize the crops in the field.

Topdressing when there is light rain allows the fertilizer to melt off quickly, allowing the crops to absorb immediately.

In addition, the chemical fertilizers that fall on the leaves of the crops will also be melted by the rain, and then flow down the poles to the root system, without causing burning damage to the leaves of the crops.

Farming is a major event related to the survival and development of the tribe, and it also has a lot of knowledge, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Life is busy, but there are also times when I am free.

Like now.

Between the shaking of the lotus leaves, a wooden boat emerges from it.

"Brother Cheng, here! Over here! ”

Bai Xuemei shouted excitedly, and stretched out her hand to point to a place not far away.

Looking in the direction of her finger, under a lotus leaf, there was a large lotus canopy.

"Okay!"

Han Cheng simply agreed, put the boat behind a little, and the boat squeezed through the layers of lotus leaves and headed in the direction where the lotus canopy was.

After the boat approached, Bai Xuemei held the lotus pod with one hand, and pinched the lotus root under the lotus pod with the other hand.

After the lotus pod was removed, a large amount of baijin poured out of the lotus root, as if it were crying about the bandits' atrocities.

Bai Xuemei didn't pay attention to these things, holding the lotus in her hand and being happy like a second fool.

After holding it and letting Han Cheng look at it for a while, he put it in the boat, and then continued to look for the next target.

When I saw it, I shouted with joy.

Whenever this happens, Han Chengcheng uses the boat penny to light the mud and prop the boat over.

Looking at his family's happy daughter-in-law who couldn't be wanted, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile on his face.

This kind of thing of holding a small boat and carrying his own stupid woman to pick lotus pods among the layers of lotus leaves, he likes to do it very much, and he feels that this moment is particularly comfortable.

Kebi stood on the shore and watched the lotus girl row a small boat, looming among the lotus leaves, and then secretly swallowed saliva on the shore and muttered there: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." The so-called Iraqi people, on the water side......" are too interesting.

In particular, the boat is propped up between the layers of lotus leaves, and the boat is fixed there with a penny.

The small boat swaying slightly from side to side ripples and makes the light sound of the waves, and it is even more interesting to scare away one or two fish that are looking for food in the lotus leaves.

Those who do not pick lotus pods in person cannot understand it.

The kind of lotus seeds that are not full of growth, after peeling, taste the most refreshing, sweet with fragrance, never get tired of eating.

However, the lotus seeds that grow full are not suitable for white mouth to eat, after peeling off the outer layer of skin, the lotus seeds are buckled, the lotus heart is removed, and it is very good to cook porridge and drink it in the pot, very noodles.

If you can put some sugar in it, it will taste even better.

The lotus heart must be removed, because the grown lotus heart tastes astringent and bitter, and it will taste bad.

With Han Cheng, the leader of being the son of God, and the lotus seeds that are very good to eat, so, in his free time, he held a boat to pick lotus canopy between the layers of lotus leaves, and became the favorite thing for people who do things on Lotus Island......

In the middle of the hustle and bustle, the Dragon Gate Inn was built, carved with a green finch and a plaque of 'Dragon Gate Inn', hanging there, it looks imposing, and the feeling of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes to the face.

Several relatively large bridges were also built near the Dragon Gate Inn, and all the way to the Tongshan residential area.

On Lotus Island, where struvite stones exist, potholes have been excavated, and the road leading to the simple pier from here is also flat and solid.

There are donkey carts and some trolleys running to and from the Bronze Highway and the Dragon Gate Inn on the way to Wild Duck Lake.

In this way, truckloads of struvite were transported to the fields of the main tribe of Qingque and the settlement area of Tongshan.

After smashing it, it was grabbed by the hands and scattered into the crops.

Time passed quietly in such a busy, and before they knew it, as if after a rain, everyone suddenly realized that the sun was not as hot as before, and it became much cooler when they slept at night......

After an autumn rain, the weather became cooler, and the leaves of many trees turned dark green.

The successful little fresh meat that was pink and tender before was tortured by the pig-killing knife of the years and became old bacon.

At this time, on the Bronze Highway, all the places where bridges need to be built, bridges have already been built.

The road was finally completely built, and the donkey carts drove on it very smoothly.

The people of the road builders returned to the tribe.

The people who transported struvite also stayed in the tribe after transporting all the struvite that had been transported back to the tribe on the shores of Wild Duck Lake.

Because, the autumn harvest that is very important for the tribe is about to begin!

In the Qingque main tribe, Han Cheng, Wu and the others stood on the edge of a grain field, looking at the grain standing in the field with their heads lowered, all of them with happy faces.

Wu and some other people are there to praise the good effect of struvite.

Because before the use of smashed struvite for top dressing, the millet growing on this piece of land did not grow vigorously, and the leaves appeared yellow.

But after two rains, the struvite was sprinkled and covered with dirt by hoeing, and the miracle happened.

This piece of millet, which had been yellowish and obviously malnourished, turned dark green in color and grew extremely vigorously.

Now that the harvest is about to be made, it has completed the overtaking of the surrounding crops that have not been topdressed with struvite stones.

Not only do the ears of grain grow bigger, but the grain inside also becomes full.

The effect is comparable to that of Kimkela.

If there is enough struvite, the tribe's overall food production will be greatly improved.

This grain, as well as a few other grains, will be stored separately when it is time to harvest, and will be reserved for the next year's planting.

With the great increase in the planting area in the tribe, it is impossible to pick and retain seeds of an ear of grain and an ear of grain as before, so it can only be harvested and dried separately for seed retention as it is now.

Of course, this is the seed used in large-scale cultivation.

When cultivating excellent varieties, it is still necessary to pick one ear of grain after another.

However, the area of the test field is small, and such careful selection can still be afforded.

Another autumn wind blew, some yellow leaves fell from the branches, and the grain standing in the ground, his head drooped lower, and he looked very humble.

After a sumptuous opening feast, the entire Qingque tribe began to devote themselves to the autumn harvest.

The scythe was swung, sweat was dripping, and pieces of crops were lodging and transported to the threshing floor.

The harvest season is always full of joy with sweat.

When the large-scale autumn harvest of the Qingque tribe ended, it was already more than a month later.

Standing on the strength of the tribal wall, looking at the bare farmland around the tribe, while feeling that the field of vision suddenly became broader, I couldn't help but feel the greatness of people.

After the large-scale autumn harvest was over, the people were divided into several waves, each doing different things.

Some people continued to work on the crops, while others began to pick the fruit.

In the courtyard of the Qingque tribe, several stoves were also set up, and everyone boiled fruit candy and canned fruit from the fruits they picked with relatively large moisture, and the whole tribe was full of sweet taste.

In the midst of the busyness, time passed, and the autumn wind blew, dropping large yellow leaves.

All the crops planted by the Qingque tribe have been harvested, even the growing hemp, and after leaving enough hemp seeds, they are bundled into bundles and thrown into the hemp pit located in the lower reaches of the river.

The area around the tribe has really become bare.

After getting all these things, the people in the tribe finally breathed a long sigh of relief, all the hard work of this year was not in vain, and the future was long in the future, until the autumn harvest of the next year was guaranteed.

After a short rest, the people of the tribe began to get busy again.

Someone began to lead the donkey and began to plough the ground with a plow.

At this time, the ground is ploughed, and when it is sown in the spring of the next year, these fields do not need to be ploughed anymore, and only need to be raked once with a rake, and they can be directly cultivated.

Moreover, it can effectively kill insect eggs and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Some people continued to open up the wasteland with pickaxes and copper shovels.

However, the location of the wasteland has been changed from Yanshan and the surrounding area of the Qingque tribe to the vicinity of the Bronze Expressway.

Starting from the Qingque tribe, slowly advance along the Bronze Highway to the west, and open up the wasteland on both sides of the Bronze Expressway.

There are also some people who also carry tools such as copper shovels and pickaxes, and work between the fields.

But their job is not to clear the land, nor to plough the land, but to rest the farmland there.

Repair some of the areas that have been washed away by the summer rains, and at the same time dig ditches on the edges, and dig the shallow ditches to re-dig them and plug up some places that should not be opened......

"I'll go, why is it so cold?"

In the dead of night, Han Cheng woke up from his sleep, only to feel that his whole body was shaking.

In a daze, I thought it was Bai Xuemei who dragged the animal skin mattress on his body again, and reached out to touch it, but found that the mattress was well covered on his body.

After struggling for a while in half-awake and half-asleep, Han Chengcai finally made up his mind and completely woke up.

Reaching out and touching the simple fire fold from the earthen platform built on the side of the kang head, he pulled it out and blew it on, and after the fire came out, he put it next to the oil lamp placed on the side.

After lighting the oil lamp, he put the fire fold on the cover and extinguished the flame.

The tiny flames of the oil lamps flickered, and the dim light lit up the room.

The air in the room was very cold.

Bai Xuemei still slept sweetly, but the whole person curled up in a ball, lying there on her side, protecting Xiao Xing'er in her arms.

After Han Cheng shuddered, he hurriedly put on his clothes and covered the mattresses he had covered for the mother and daughter.
