Han Cheng stood in the Sanxingdui residential area and stopped to look around, and the sight was a piece of rice that had been planted.

The original Red Tiger tribe lived here, and there were a large number of paddy fields in itself.

After the Qingque tribesmen who are more experienced in farming cultivate here, these farmlands here look more organized.

Looking at the paddy fields in front of him, as well as the seedlings that had been planted and those who were planting seedlings, Han Cheng's face couldn't help but show some smiles.

Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn can always bring people a good mood.

This year, after the rice in the many paddy fields around the Sanxingdui residential area and some of the paddy fields opened up around the Tieshan residential area mature and harvest in autumn, the Tieshan residential area and the Sanxingdui residential area will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in staple food.

The part of the entire tribe south of the Qinling Mountains will be able to be free from the restriction of grain.

And there is also the ability to have a surplus.

And if this is really done, the deployment of the Qingque tribe in the south can be regarded as completely stable.

After all, there is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart.

This was also the main reason why Han Cheng was so happy after looking at the scene in front of him.

Standing here and looking at the fertile fields for a while, Han Cheng went down from here and walked along the road towards one place.

After a while, we came to a big road.

The road is wide and smooth.

After so many people and livestock trampling and crushing wheels, the roads here have already become solid.

The only thing that is different from the rest of the place is that the pavement here is black.

This is not because the Qingque tribesmen who live here deliberately did it, nor because the road surface was made black, and the road would become more solid and durable.

Rather, it is the people here who often carry coal from the coal source to the valley along this road.

A day or two is not obvious, and after a long time, the road becomes dark.

Han Cheng stood on the road and looked left and right.

The left side of the road leads to the coal mine, and the right side leads to the interior of Sanxingdui.

However, the position where Han Cheng was standing now was about the same distance from the two places, and he wanted to go to both places.

So he stood here, a little entangled for a while, not knowing where to go first.

Standing here and thinking about it carefully, he finally came to the valley behind the Sanxingdui residential area from here, and after the distance was a few tens of meters, Han Cheng set off and walked all the way here.

Passing through the wall of the Sanxingdui residential area, Han Cheng came to the valley on the south side.

Speaking of Sanxingdui residential area, compared with the rest of the place, it seems a little different.

For example, the main entrance of the fence here is the north gate.

This is the case because there is a mountain to the south of the place of residence.

And the valley, which is extremely important and contains many mineral resources, is also to the south of the entire settlement.

If the main entrance of the residence is really left to the south, the open space in front of the residence is too narrow, and it is too inconvenient to travel between the many fields to the north.

Therefore, when building this residence, Han Chengcheng made some moves, and the houses and other buildings here are still sitting in the north and facing south, but the courtyard, or the main gate of the small city, is open in the north.

This is an adjustment made according to local conditions.

In the valley, there are also great changes compared to the previous ones.

One of the biggest changes is regularization.

At the beginning, the people of the Red Tiger Tribe, when they were here, were a mess everywhere, and it seemed very messy.

In addition, there are a large number of people who eat, drink and sleep here, so the environment here is even more needless to say.

Now, there is a variety of infrastructure, such as toilets and drains.

More than a dozen houses were built inside to store some things and allow the staff to take a temporary break at noon and the rest of the time.

There are even people who, in their spare time, have carved out some small pieces of land in front of and behind the house, and in other idle and fertile places, and grow some vegetables or some grain on them.

It can be said that it is the essence of farming in the Qingque tribe.

And farming, a natural skill that was integrated into the bloodline of the local people where Han Cheng was in later generations, slowly began to integrate into the bloodline of the Qingque tribe after his continuous influence over the years, and gradually became a natural skill that would become them.

Standing here, looking at this small piece of land in the valley in front of him, Han Cheng once again showed some smiles on his face.

This bifurcated valley, which is extremely important for the Sanxingdui residential area, is now in order.

Salt-making, bronze smelting, and pottery-making are distinguished from each other and become different functional divisions.

And on the high ground above the valley, several outposts were built.

On the one hand, it is to provide some protection for the valley, and at the same time, it is also meant to prevent the slaves who work here in the copper mines from escaping over these mountains.

Of course, the location here is very high, condescending, and you can see far away, which can provide a good warning for the entire Sanxingdui residence and supervise the surrounding movements, which is also a reason for building a guard post on it......

Han Cheng walked around these places one by one, and after spending about half a day, he left the valley, passed through the Sanxingdui residential area, came out of the north gate, and walked along this black avenue all the way to the northwest.

After walking about three miles from the residential area, Han Cheng came to another mineral location here, the coal mine.

Before you get here, you can see a lot of darkness in the distance.

Once you've gotten here, the blacks look even more striking.

There are also some temporary houses built here, which look gray because of their proximity to the coal mines.

Coal is a good thing, especially after Han Cheng developed the function of smelting minerals, it became even more popular.

After coking was carried out to make it more effective, the coke extracted from coal completely replaced charcoal in the smelting of bronze and iron ore.

It is also for this reason that the consumption of coal is not small.

In the past, there was open-pit coal here, but when Han Cheng came over this time, the open-pit coal had already been mined, and if it was mined again, it would be necessary to dig deeper ground......

After watching it for a while, by the time Han Cheng left here and returned all the way back to the Sanxingdui residential area, it was already noon.

Among the meals eaten at noon, there is also a stir-fried dish in an iron pot.

With the arrival of Han Cheng, this newly made iron pot, as well as the iron pot stir-frying, was also brought to the Sanxingdui residential area by him, and was highly praised and sought after by the residents of the Sanxingdui Qingque Tribe.

It's only been a few days, and everyone present actually has the feeling that there is nothing to fry in an iron pot, so they feel that they are missing something and are not happy to eat.

Han Cheng didn't eat very happily, not because he was tired of eating iron pot stir-frying, but because he had something in his heart.

Today's inspection, combined with what he saw and heard in the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area, made Han Cheng finally pay attention to a problem that had been discovered before.

The problem is the mining of ore in the tribe.

The mining of ore has always been the top, open pit part of the good mining, and when it is mined further down and deeper, it becomes a little difficult.

Nowadays, all the mines of the Qingque tribe are basically at this stage.

Of course, the most serious of these is Tongshan, which is located in the Copper Mountain residential area.

The people of the tribe, limited by their vision, do not think that there is anything wrong with using tools such as hammers, chisels, pickaxes, etc., nor do they feel that mining is slow with such things.

But Han Cheng, as a descendant, also became a little dissatisfied with some things after watching the entire tribe develop day by day under his leadership, and after the initial joy.

For example, this mining ore.

It is really difficult to deal with those large, hard stones with large slabs connected together, and to deal with them with tools such as hammers, drills, chisels, etc.

Sometimes, a person carrying a hammer or chisel for three days in a row can't carve such an existence!

It can be said that it is extremely hard, but the efficiency cannot be improved, and the work cannot be done much.

This is the reason why Han Cheng thinks in his heart and feels some depression for it.

The solution to the problem, Han Cheng has long known, is to make gunpowder and apply it to this matter.

However, just as the compass was stuck on the magnet, the gunpowder was stuck on the saltpeter.

Even now, Han Chengdu has not encountered natural nitrate.

Even if Han Cheng knew the formula of gunpowder and the proportion needed to prepare it, it was impossible to go against common sense and get this thing out in the absence of such an extremely important thing as nitrate......

Saltpeter!

When will I be able to find this thing?

If you find it early, you can get the gunpowder out earlier, and if you get the gunpowder out early, you will be able to have an extra weapon in the tribe as soon as possible.

Not only can it be used to open mountains and roads, open mines and blow up stones, but it can also be used in the weapons of the ministry.

Of course, it can also be used for tribal entertainment.

Fireworks are such a thing, Han Cheng is still more eager, and it is very good to light a few boxes during the New Year, let them bloom with gorgeous colors, decorate the night sky, let everyone watch together, and set off the atmosphere of the New Year.

Of course, having gunpowder does not mean that fireworks can be made immediately, fireworks are relatively advanced things, which require a certain amount of technology and experience.

However, it is still very good to make some firecrackers out of gunpowder.

However, the saltpeter that he was thinking about had never been seen, and what Han Cheng was thinking about in his heart could only become a fantasy in the end......

Han Cheng, who had eaten, was squatting on a stone, thinking about these things here, and his heart was quite unhappy.

Fu Jiang, the guy who had just run to the toilet to, came over leisurely, and when he saw Han Cheng squatting on a big stone, he circled around the stone for half a circle, and came to a place where the stone was the lowest, jumped up on all fours, trotted a few steps, and also got on the big stone.

The lucky general, who came to the stone, walked a few steps to Han Cheng and squatted down, side by side with Han Cheng, and then rubbed his head against Han Cheng's body.

Feeling that the blessed general who came to his side, Han Cheng was a little uncomfortable by the saltpeter, and suddenly became comfortable.

Of course, this is not because Fu rubbed his head against him, so he felt extra happy.

It's because there are new changes in Fu Jiang.

Fu Jiang, this guy, lost his hair one by one in the past, and the whole dog looked bald, and the aging made people feel uncomfortable.

But now, all the places that had lost hair before have grown new hair, and after covering these skins, this guy looks younger.

Han Cheng, who had always been worried about Fu Jiang, how could he not feel happy in his heart when he saw such a situation?

The blessing will come, so as its sister's lucky star, it will naturally not be too far away.

Sure enough, after such a thought rose in Han Cheng's heart, he saw an orange-red light rushing from a distance, and after approaching the stone, a few consecutive jumps fell into Han Cheng's arms with great skill, turning into a fat, bulging big cat.

This thing is the 'Red Tiger' that I got here from the original Red Tiger tribe before.

If you see that this thing has already been raised by Han Cheng, it has lost the wildness of the past.

And I don't know if it's because the food here in the Qingque tribe is too good, or if this guy has come to this place of peace is my hometown, so that now, the weight is rising.

The original slender body and smooth curves are now all gone, leaving only a big fat cat.

When Han Cheng stroked it a few times with his hand, and then tickled this guy's exposed belly with his hand, this guy would still meow, and he didn't want to do any discipline.

There was a rejuvenated old dog lying on the side, and there was a fat and heavy fat cat on his body, Han Cheng, who stroked the cat for a while and touched the dog's head for a while, the depression in his heart quickly disappeared cleanly.

……

Han Cheng, who had been here in Sanxingdui for seven or eight days, left here with his cats and dogs, as well as those who could be called guards, and returned to the Tieshan residential area along the wide road......
