The tribe's warehouse was located in a large area to the east of the Dragon Temple, not too far from Ding Qi's residence, where two guards usually guarded it. There should be no fire, weeds or other debris within 10 meters of the surrounding area, in order to prevent a fire in the warehouse. And about ten meters away from the door of the warehouse, there are five or six large clay jars, and a large pile of sand. The pot is filled with clean water, which can be used to extinguish the initial fire in the event of a fire, and the sand can do the same.

Fifty meters long, six meters high, and thirty meters wide, the warehouse is divided into two parts by rows of shelves, one for weapons and various bronze tools, and the other for various plant seeds, shelf-stable fruits, dried goods, and bacon. These are managed by Grass and Stone, with Grass receiving and Stone registering, and receiving things with the consent of Elder Buck and Ben.

When this warehouse was first built, in order to prevent moisture and rodent infestation, the lime on the ground was ten centimeters thick, and the gravel was also paved with nearly 20 centimeters.

Ding Qi knew how strong the survival ability of rats was, so any gaps left were filled with lime, and the nearest building around the entire warehouse was ten meters, and unless the rats could fly, they couldn't get in. Not to mention, I also have two dogs at two diagonal points, and the dog can still have this kind of operation with a mouse.

All in all, this warehouse is built as impregnable, which shows its place in Ding Qi's heart.

Standing in front of the warehouse door, the gap between the door and the door frame and the threshold can't even be stuffed with a little finger, which has to praise the work of Jing, who is careful and meticulous, and makes the requirements to the extreme.

The two of them slowly pushed open the heavy warehouse door, and the light shone in, and it was very bright.

"Chief, the distribution of tools and weapons in the warehouse is now recorded to ensure that individuals can be traced. It's just that there are no good writing tools at present, and the workload is heavy, and now the stone and wood boards used for recording are stacked very high. Fortunately, the recycling tools will be cleared after each day, otherwise more planks will be needed. If you can make that paper, it will be easier to count and trace back. ”

Shi is now about thirteen or fourteen years old, not yet reaching the age of sixteen, and of course more than the nineteen-year-old marriage stipulated by Ding Qi. After learning Chinese characters and mathematics, he grew up very quickly, and he was entrusted with this statistical work, cooperating with Cao to carry out daily warehouse management.

Ding Qi nodded, and was very happy to see Shi talking with his head. Some important positions in the tribe have always been controlled by the people of the original deer tribe, including the backbone of the army such as rats, bears, and white fangs. But there are so many people overall, especially men, and there is only a small child left. Now, if the tribe can have a good helper, their burden will be easier.

"Don't worry! The paper will be made soon, and I already have it in mind. ”

Entering the warehouse, there are a lot of things, and the left side is full, mainly for food. The main food is some dry goods and bacon, dry goods such as mushrooms, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and dandelion tea, etc., bacon is the meat products of various animals, such as wild boar, deer, rabbit, fish, pheasant, antelope and roe deer, etc., and some fruits are stacked in the corner.

According to the scale of the balance made by Ding Qi for everyone, the current storage of meat has reached 50,000 catties, and the dry goods are more than 10,000 catties, all of which are stacked here to occupy one-third of the warehouse, and even the beams of the house are full of bacon and preserved fish.

According to the calculation of 2,000 people in a tribe and two catties of meat a day for each person, the food stored in this warehouse is less than half of the food needs of the entire tribe in a month, and it can be eaten in less than half a month. If it weren't for the fact that warriors went out to hunt and fish every day, the current output of the tribe would not be able to support such a large number of people. And this is still copper

With a population of about 200 people, the hunting itself did not put much pressure on the surrounding fauna.

This is also the reason why a tribe with a population of 300 people is already considered a large tribe, just think about a 200-pound deer to catch at least three a day, but also consider the meat that cannot travel in advance in winter. Without bows, arrows, fishing nets, and relying only on stone axes, spears, and flying stone ropes, it is really difficult to catch three deer, and sometimes it is possible to return empty-handed.

Two large warehouses like this one are currently being built to the west of the Dragon Palace, and by the time autumn comes, it will be a bumper harvest season, and the storage of various kinds of meat will increase rapidly. As for the food for the time being, planting such a small crop this year will only be enough for next year's seeds, and by next autumn it will be able to supply a large number of people to the tribesmen.

The grass unraveled a leather pouch, and what caught everyone's eye was some oval-shaped gray particles, the size of a millet millet with a shell attached to it, and some fine reticulations on it.

To be honest, Ding Qi has never seen hemp seeds or hemp seeds, only seen the shape of hemp leaves on the Internet, and as for hemp seeds, he has not paid attention to them at all. However, the saying that marijuana is called hemp has been around for a long time, and Ding Qi knows it.

So when he heard that this kind of hemp was called hemp, Ding Qi judged that it was marijuana. When the grass picked up a bundle of dry grass stalks next to it, the special longitudinal grooves on the palm-like lobes and branches of the hemp leaves were like sesame stalks, telling Ding Qi again that this was the marijuana commonly known as hemp.

The heart was pounding and pounding, and it was about to jump out of my throat.

Ding Qi sighed in his heart, but his mouth came out directly:

"It's called hemp, and the fibers on its bark are very long, but they are better than the fibers in the vines. Its main function is to make ropes, and it can also be used to spin and weave cloth, and then it can make clothes for you! Wearing this kind of linen clothes in summer is very cool, not as stuffy as animal skin clothes, and it takes a few more holes to be more comfortable. The hemp seeds can also be used to extract oil, and the oil can be burned for lighting, and we don't need to light torches in the house at night, we only need to use sesame oil lamps to illuminate it. ”

Several people laughed when they heard this, but they felt the power of animal fur clothing in summer, and both men and women felt uncomfortable. Of course, the premise is to see who you compare with, if you compare with before, this animal skin clothes are too comfortable.

Just now, Ding Qi deliberately said that the name of this plant is hemp, and he only mentioned that its main role is to make rope and weave cloth, just to solidify its role in the first time and form inertial thinking.

This is a hemp full of treasures! As long as it is properly publicized and the bad side is not allowed to bring disaster to the world, I believe that this hemp will bring great changes to the tribe. The stem-bark fibers of hemp are long and tough, and they can be used to weave linen or spin thread, make ropes, weave fishing nets, and make paper. Seeds can be used to extract oil, oil can be used for lighting, and oil residue can be used as feed for livestock, which can be described as a multiplicity.

Taking a deep breath, the cheerful Ding Qi looked at the other large animal skin bags. Two of the bags contained paddy, which Ding Qi recognized at a glance, but they were all saturated and needed to be sifted before they could be planted next year. The other three bags contained some brown round seeds, and even some elongated, cylindrical pods.

Rapeseed!

That's right, this is rapeseed, Tinch confirmed again. Although it is a little smaller than the original planting in my own village, and the pods are a little shorter, they are exactly the same as rapeseed, and they must be rapeseed.

"Great! That's great! This is rape, God really favors our Ding tribe! ”

Ding Qi danced happily, and the people next to him looked cloudy, I don't know why the leader was so happy, and he wasn't so happy when he talked about hemp just now.

"Boss! What kind of seed is this, and is it delicious? ”

The stag wondered in his heart,

Ask directly.

"Haha! This is the seed of rape, which can be sown after a while. We can eat the seedlings that grow, especially in winter, which can bring great benefits to our body, just like Chinese cabbage. When the snow melts, it will produce small yellow flowers, which are very beautiful from a distance. Its seeds can be used to extract oil, and these oils can be used to stir-fry vegetables and meat, just like lard. ”

At this point, Tinch turned to look at the bucks and Ben.

"Speaking of Chinese cabbage, in the last few days, you have begun to organize manpower, and when the cattle brought back by the soil come over, you will go to pioneer and plough the land, let Jing make another twenty wooden ploughs and nail-toothed rakes, and carve twenty stone stones in the rock, ready to plow the ground and plant Chinese cabbage."

After seeing these two most important crop seeds, Ding Qi told a few people about the role of tung oil seeds, and told Cao and Shi to take good care of these seeds, so as not to be eaten by rats or damp and mildew.

As he spoke, someone ran over panting.

"Ben, leader, the wind is about to give birth, and a group of deer and their group in charge of delivering babies are busy, so let me hurry over and inform Ben."

When Ben heard the news, he was immediately stunned, and his face seemed to be a little incredulous. Ding Qi was still sober at this time, and immediately slapped him and asked him to hurry up and see if there was anything he needed help with.

Ben turned around and ran out, and was tripped by the threshold of the warehouse without paying attention, but fortunately Ben Pi was solid, and when he got up, he hurriedly rushed to his yard, where it was already full of people, so it was not lively.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, he heard the sound of horns from the direction of the south gate, one short and two long, indicating that there were a large number of his own people coming to the tribe.

"Let's go, Elder Bucks, it should be that they are back, let's hurry up and organize people to greet them."

Ding Qi guessed that it was the soil that they had driven the herd of cattle and donkeys back, and they had to hurry up and prepare a free-range pen for them. By the time the wasps brought back the nearly 200 horses, they had already informed the stag of the leader's arrangements, and they knew that they had planned and built in advance, including forage, and that they were waiting for the oxen and donkeys to arrive at the tribe.

"Moo~"

"En~En~"

When they arrived, the earth had already placed the oxen and donkeys in the corresponding pens. Listening to their loud and tumultuous cries made the tribesmen who had never seen these two animals exclaim.

"Tu, you've worked hard! The journey was pretty smooth! ”

Seeing that Tu was tired and his steps were a little vain, Ding Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern.

"Thanks to the leader, everything is going well. The main thing is that the donkeys are a little uncontrolled, and with your methods, it plays a certain role, and finally comes back. ”

Tu smiled bitterly, Ding Qi was helpless, stubborn donkeys are notoriously stubborn, they are donkeys, they can only follow their temperament.

"Haha! Don't worry, take your time to explore their habits, and there will definitely be a way to solve it. ”

Then he called Jing to him, who had come to see the bustle, and said to him:

"Jing, see those cows, you design some ropes according to the shape of the cows, and count them as twenty sets. Just when you came over, I would like to inform you of one more thing, which is to make twenty wooden ploughs, and we are ready to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land. These days, you arrange for your people to work hard. ”

Jing Yi was very happy to hear that the leader had arranged a job for him, but he knew that the leader would always have some new ideas here that could bring innovation to his carpenter work. He immediately turned around and ran, surely to inform his carpenters to gather and do carpentry work.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ding Qi couldn't help laughing, Jing must be thinking about his oil tung seeds, those leaky boats are a piece of heart in his heart, the sooner he solves it, the sooner he can go boating on the lake.
