After the oxen and donkeys were settled, Tinch took the stag and the earth to inspect the wooden huts in the enclosure for storing forage. There were more than a dozen slaves cutting grass with guillotines, and in the distance, there were teams of slaves carrying grass here with flat poles. The fodder is constantly fed to the hay trough in the stable, and the water tank next to it is mixed with coarse salt to replenish the salt in the horses.

The guillotine was a bronze guillotine that Ding Qi had arranged for the red deer to cast according to the model he had designed before he went to train the horse, and it was very easy to cut the weeds, and the weeds five or six centimeters long were quickly piled up in a pile.

As the saying goes, horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, and if you want horses to have a good physique, you must ensure that they are full.

Now that the tribe has so many livestock, the daily consumption of forage is a huge number, and the demand for slaves alone has reached seventy or eighty. In the evening, the hay trough is added twice to meet the needs of the horses, so that a special person must be arranged to be responsible for the breeding of the horses. Now with the addition of a lot of cows and donkeys, the pressure will be even greater.

After inspecting the horse circle, Ding Qi led the people to the ash kiln again. A large courtyard has been built there, and all the ash kilns and cave kilns have been enclosed in it, and sentry posts have been arranged to guard and protect them. In the courtyard, in addition to the special place for parking ore, adobe, and charcoal, two large rows of houses were specially built, all of which were large shops, and the slaves who worked in the yard slept here.

After the loss of the craftsman, Bucks and Ben discussed building a large courtyard and a watchtower to prevent the craftsman or slave from escaping or even being captured.

When Ding Qi came, the slaves were pulling blanks, smashing ore, and burning charcoal under the guidance of craftsmen, and they were in full swing. The craftsman on duty saw the leader and the great elder coming, and hurriedly ordered the slaves to salute the leader.

"This is our leader, the Aragami who leads everyone to be fed and clothed. Because of the Aragami, you can come to the Ding tribe and avoid being killed or even eaten by others. So, remember his goodness, he is your Aragami! ”

The Grand Elder of the Stag stood in front of the crowd and introduced the minions to Tinch's identity. When they heard that the young man standing in front of them was actually the leader of the tribe and the god of Aragami, they boiled. He shouted loudly in his mouth, Aragami, and fell to his knees.

"That's it! Rise up, everybody! Add a meal to everyone tonight and add an extra piece of meat! ”

Ding Qi was also happy, this was the time to win people's hearts, and he immediately rewarded everyone. This piece of meat is amazing, after cooking, it is about seven or eight taels, and adding an extra piece is more than one and a half catties, but you have to eat to your heart's content.

For these slaves, it is a great reward to be able to eat enough and to eat an extra piece of meat than others.

So, the sentence "Follow Aragami to have meat to eat!" The words have been handed down, and they are even more famous than the Ding tribe.

Hearing the news, the red deer and the flower who rushed over from outside saluted Ding Qi and were stopped by Ding Qi. In addition to this large courtyard, two small courtyards were specially built inside, which are smelting and pottery. Although there are workshops for these two jobs in Ningcheng, it is a place for fine products, and some rough work is still placed here.

"Chief, now the pottery and smelting are separated, each doing its own thing, to avoid crossing. There is a special person guarding here every night, as well as a dog to prevent anyone from peeping and stealing secrets. ”

Red Deer and Hua led Ding Qi to check in two special small courtyards, and Ding Qi raised some questions and suggestions from time to time, which could help them improve a lot.

After reading this, Dingqi and Buck went to the lake again to check the growth of rice. Due to the full application of base fertilizer, and artificial management and top dressing, irrigation, and insecticide in the later stage, the rice growth in front of us is very gratifying, and the long rice ears have begun to turn yellow, and it is estimated that there will be half a month to a month to harvest it.

Ding Qi specially peeled off two grains of rice and found that the millet inside was filling, and gently pinched the millet and squeezed out some white pulp. Therefore, Tinchi will mature in about twenty days. After harvesting, you can consider planting oil

vegetables, which can be planted alternately with rice, and after the rapeseed harvest in May of the following year, rice can be planted.

There is still some time before the harvest, and Ding Qi's main focus now is on Chinese cabbage planting, and then the rice, soybeans, and millet are harvested in an orderly manner, and the chili, yam and kudzu can be put at the end.

The law of development of all things in nature is spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage. Autumn is about to come, this time is the time to grab the harvest when the sky is rushed, be diligent, and don't have to worry about eating and drinking all winter. And Ding Qi still has so many people to raise, and there are still many things to prepare.

Coming to the lake, Ding Qi checked the growth of lotus root, gourd and water chestnut. The harvest time for lotus root and root is still early, but the water chestnut can already be eaten raw. I went into the water and picked three or five of them ashore, and I tasted two with the bucks, which were crisp and sweet, and very delicious.

"Chief, this water chestnut has been harvested some time ago, but I just listened to your teachings and didn't dare to let everyone eat it raw, so as not to grow parasites. After another five or six days, you can organize people to pick it, and then it will be unified to peel and dry for preservation, which should be able to be stored for a long time. ”

The buck had already tasted fresh water chestnut, and Ding Qi was the first time to eat water chestnut in primitive times, which made him feel very fresh.

In the distance, a huge wave rose on the surface of the lake, and a white figure jumped out of the lake and came straight in the direction of Ding Qi.

It was a white sturgeon called Little Flower, which I hadn't seen for nearly two months, and it seemed that this white sturgeon had gained weight again.

A bit of frolicking made Tinki drenched, but he did like to spend time with animals, and he was so carefree.

Bidding farewell to Xiaohua'er, Ding Qi and the two came to the large crop field in the east of the city, where the corn was already more than one person tall, and the soybeans were also up to people's knees. As for the peppers, they are full of attractive fruits, some of which have begun to turn bright red, and bunches hang from the branches.

In order to plant more chili peppers next year, Ding Qi stipulated that it is not allowed to eat chili peppers in advance, and Bao Neng can wait until after the harvest to collect the chili seeds before eating.

When the peppers grew, Gu Da of the Gurung tribe was still a little puzzled as to why he planted this "poisonous" plant. He said that after eating the red fruit of this plant, people sweat all over their bodies, and their mouths and stomachs hurt unbearably. Therefore, when they see this plant, they will eradicate it so as not to let it harm people.

The bucks had no choice but to move Ding Qi out, saying that the leader had let him plant it, and he couldn't eradicate it.

After turning around, Ding Qi came to the yard where Ben was, and saw Ben sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a baby and smirking there.

Seeing Ding Qi coming, Ben hurriedly hugged the child and said loudly:

"Chief, I'm a father! I have a son, haha! Help him come up with a name! ”

Tinch was glad that Ben could choose a name for his child, and was watching the child ponder. Unexpectedly, Cang ran over like a gust of wind, took Ding Qi's arm and said:

"Chief, I've found you. My son has been born, you can name him! ”

When Ding Qi heard this, he burst out laughing, and the bucks and Ben next to him also laughed.

"You two really want to go together. Originally, according to the tribal rules, they could not have names until they were able to hunt and gather. Since you two have this idea, then I'm going to help with this. ”

Dingch pondered for a moment and then said:

"Cang's son is the first child of our tribe after the establishment of Ningcheng, which means auspicious, and the name is Cangji, okay? Ben is from the deer tribe, and according to the previous statement, the deer tribe took the deer as the surname and established the deer clan. Therefore, your son's name is Luming, how? ”

The two of them tasted the name that Ding Qi had just given their son, and the smile gradually spread on their faces, and then turned into laughter.

In the following period, the pregnant women of the Ding tribe followed the water lotus and the wind and gave birth to the children of the Ding tribe, both male and female

。 In primitive times, giving birth to a child was a race against death. Some people give birth to children successfully, while others die in childbirth due to various reasons. On the fifth day, a woman died in childbirth because the fetus was too large and her pelvis was too small.

The whole tribe was immersed in an atmosphere of sadness.

Soon, however, this atmosphere was diluted by the birth of other newborns, until there was no such thing, and the whole tribe was in a sea of joy.

The day after naming the sons of Ben and Cang, Ding Qi held a ceremony to officially accept the scorpion tribe to join the Ding tribe and become a clan of the tribe, giving him the surname "Xie", which means that he knows that this is the opportunity given to them by the Aragami to be reborn, and always uphold the original intention of gratitude.

Then, in the free time of the afternoon, he had an in-depth conversation with the conch leader from the Bei tribe, and the next day the two sides reached an alliance and played a bloody alliance ceremony. This is one of the things that the Conch Leader insisted on doing when he communicated with other clans of the Ding tribe and learned the story of the Ding tribe's first alliance with the Red Bull, Blue Bird, and Greystone tribes. He was yearning, and Ding Qi, who had no choice, couldn't refute other people's face, so he had to agree.

It's just that after forming an alliance, the conch leader throws out a difficult problem that gives Ding Qi a bit of a headache. He said that since the two tribes had formed an alliance, they would strengthen and deepen their relationship, so he suggested that he give his youngest daughter to Tinch as a woman. With this layer of in-law relationship, the relationship between the two parties will be deeper and long-term, and maybe they will be able to rule more territory.

"Test, I'm in the trap!"

Ding Qi finally knew why the conch leader insisted on forming an alliance, it turned out that he had dug a big hole for himself here, so that he could marry his daughter!

Is this a problem, or a big problem, which makes Ding Qi a little dilemma, don't you see that the anger on the face of the deer sitting on the side is already starting to surge?

You're trying to hurt me!

It's just that Ding Qi is good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that the mussel, the daughter of the conch leader, seems to disagree, and the faces of his subordinates, the Moo of the Bei tribe this time, are also a little ugly, and he immediately understands that there is a cat between the two.

"Conch Leader, I agree with the proposal to deepen the alliance by means of in-laws."

Tincchi directly agreed to the conch's proposal, much to the conch leader's delight, but the mussel turned around and sulked as if angry, while Moo sat there dejectedly and silently. As for the deer, they have already begun to stare at Ding Qi angrily, and they are already on the verge of an outbreak.

"However, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to let your daughter be my woman. One is that your daughter may not like me, and men and women must be in love with each other. The second is that I already have a woman I like, and I don't want to live up to her. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Qi looked at the deer and found that the deer, who was still angry just now, was already smiling like a flower at this time, as if spring was coming. Moo and Mussel reacted with some surprise, staring at Ding Qi with excitement on his face.

Ding Qi coughed lightly and said again:

"Ahem! Three, although I can't be my woman, there are many excellent men in the Dante tribe, such as the one in front of him, he has to be bold and bold, wise and wise. And he was honest, loyal to the tribe, and certainly a good man. And, Conch Leader, haven't you noticed that your daughter has long been fond of our tribe's warriors! ”

After hearing this, the conch leader looked a little anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Leader Ding, don't worry! Relationships between men and women can be cultivated, and although each tribe reproduces through courtship, there are also cases where tribal leaders have more than one woman. You see, I have five women, and they don't mind that I have more women. Even if I don't want to, I can get them to agree. ”

The conch leader was a little proud, not paying the slightest attention to the arrow-like gaze of the deer, and continued:

"I see, you're gone!"
