Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 361 Killing Rats
Until the third pole of the day, there are still some good people blocking the door, and the beautiful name is called: find the leader to report to work!
In the end, all the runners who were driven away were swept away.
The two young people who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time were no longer as crazy as yesterday, and were quietly snuggling together, whispering, hoping that they would be the same in the future. It's just that Ding Qi knows that the hero mound of Gentle Township still has to get dressed and get up quickly to get busy with the big and small things of the tribe!
Now that the rectification movement is being carried out, if the news of himself and the two of them getting together gets out, I don't know what everyone thinks, it's terrifying!
After washing, he opened the courtyard door suddenly, and he couldn't help but see Ben suddenly planted in the courtyard, which made several people extremely embarrassed. In particular, Ding Qi felt embarrassed, but it was natural to think of a deer. Ben, who wanted to make fun of them, was glared at by the deer, and he was much more honest. Hurriedly stepped forward to report to Ding Qi:
"Leader, the exchange team's supplies have been prepared, and they plan to go to Deer Village in an hour."
As soon as he talked about work, Ding Qi immediately got into the groove.
"Good! Pay attention to safety on the road, human life is more important than materials. Then pull out a squad from the warriors and follow, one person and two horses, anyway, there are many tribes now. Bring more tin powder to Tongcun, and when the time comes, you can go back directly from Tongcun and bring back the kudzu and copper plates they collected, and it would be best if they could bring all the hemp. ”
Now Tongcun is an important copper raw material supply point for the tribe, so it is relatively easier, more convenient to transport, and shorter to transport bronze tools directly there. Bronze tools are mainly shovels, axes, saws, kitchen knives, and skinning knives, and Ningcheng mainly produces weapons, such as swords, spears, bows and arrows, etc., which is enough for the existing warriors to have three sets of equipment each.
Moreover, Ding Qi also arranged for the red deer to start studying the bronze armor and began to pay attention to the protection of the warriors. Now that there are more and more tribes with bows and arrows, the power has begun to increase, and it is a mode to start training warriors to wear armor in battle.
In addition, Tongcun will be the first production base of the tribe to provide a large number of kudzu and kudzu, which is the advantage of Tongcun, so Ding Qi will also amplify this advantage, and later send craftsmen and warriors to expand the scale and directly produce and process there.
Ding Qi thought for a moment and continued:
"In Lucun, a platoon of troops should be stationed for defense for a long time. Lucun will be an important storage and exchange point for materials, so we must strengthen protection to avoid further attacks on tribal members Lucun. ”
Ever since that raid happened. If it really doesn't work, you can pick someone now, and this time I will go with you
After the matter of taxis and equipment, Ding Qi attached great importance to this issue. Lucun is a material storage transfer station, such as the salt of Yancun, the materials exchanged by the Yancun exchange team, the bronzes of Tongcun, and the materials exchanged by Lucun are all stored there. The monthly exchange meeting is also to bring these surplus materials back to Ningcheng for safekeeping. Don't send more people over to guard, Ding Qi is really not at ease.
"Another important thing is to let the tribes know the importance of rice, millet and other plant seeds, and we must let them collect and plant more, which can be exchanged for food and tools, so that they can pay attention to it. At present, their exchange ability is too poor, and most of them only exchange animal skins and slaves for pottery, fishing nets, and bronzes. Like the paper, butter lamps, soaps, etc., which we just made, they can't even look at, let alone use. ”
Ding Qi shouted to go out together, talking as he walked.
"Only the more food they have leftover, the more things they can use for exchange, and as the population develops, the exchange activities will become more frequent and intensive, and the variety of needs will be. The present exchange is, at best, an activity that must be carried out in order to survive, and of course, it also has the purpose of reproduction. It's a pity that at the exchange meeting we organized, they can no longer enjoy this opportunity for racial reproduction. ”
When I came to the central square, it was already full of people preparing to travel, all of them were one person and two horses, carrying a lot of supplies.
"Go ahead, do it boldly! You have to imagine that this tribe is managed by you, and how you will manage it. Remember, this is our tribe! ”
Ben wanted to refuse Ding Qi's proposal, but was rejected by Ding Qi with his eyes, so he had to salute Ding Qi, turn around and walk to the barracks to select a group of soldiers to come out.
It didn't take long for the horn to sound, and a group of people lined up in four columns, led by Ben, to Lucun.
Autumn is about to usher in this crucial season, so this exchange meeting is also the most important exchange meeting before the arrival of winter. After the exchange, everyone was busy stockpiling meat and supplies for the winter, and even tribal warfare was temporarily suspended, as hunting and gathering battles were not among them, of course.
If a tribe does not have enough supplies for the winter, they are likely to be killed by the heavy snow and cold of winter, and may even attract hungry beasts to bring disaster to the tribe.
Turning around and walking down the city wall, Ding Qi came to the livestock and poultry feeding area, where the insects of the deer clan were directing five or six slaves to feed the livestock and poultry with grass, water, and cleaning. She had been making pottery with Hua before, but later the director of Ningcheng lacked manpower, so he directly asked her from the pottery group to be responsible for livestock and poultry breeding. The worm saw Ding Qi coming from a distance and hurriedly ran over to greet him.
"Chief, what kind of wind blew you here today, it's really rare!"
The worm itself is a little girl two or three years younger than the deer, and she is in a lively age group, and after such a long time of study, her personality has become more and more lively and clever, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
"Haha! Of course, it's the north wind, and it asks me to see if you're ready, and if you're not ready, it's going to blow for a winter! ”
Ding Qi also likes to play a joke with her and tease this cute little girl.
"Huh! Chief, your joke isn't funny. How dare it send you? You're an Aragami! How dare it command you? Besides, I'm ready here, and I'm ready to reinforce, and the forage and cushion are all ready like a hill, so I'm not afraid of it! As soon as it looks at the posture of our tribe, such a high city wall, it must have to make a detour! ”
The worm was very happy, and was happy to talk to Ding Qi, pointing to the high haystack and the cushion next to the enclosure, and the high wall, and showing Ding Qi.
"Let's go! Don't be poor, take me for a walk and see how the livestock and poultry are doing. ”
Ding Qi has a lot of things, and saying a few words can be regarded as getting closer. These are all old people from the original deer tribe, and they grew up with the deer, so they really didn't treat them as outsiders.
"Now the tribe feeds more kinds of livestock and poultry, including sheep, sika deer, pheasants, rabbits, pigs, bamboo rats, etc., among which the bamboo rats were later caught by the warriors in the bamboo forest, I am trying to breed and explore the rules. With the exception of horses, cows, donkeys and reindeer, all other small animals are fed here. In the next step, the dogs in the current tribe, after the warriors are familiar with feeding, will also be bred and distributed by me. ”
The worms proudly told Ding Qi about them one by one, and cage-fed creatures like rabbits and bamboo rats could be seen up close. In some cages, many rabbits have given birth to baby rabbits and are breastfeeding in the nest. The rabbits are fed in the same way that Ding Qi used to breed rabbits in his own homes and rabbit factories in the countryside, and the rows of rabbit houses are neatly arranged.
Rabbits reproduce quickly, and there can be more than a dozen rabbits in a litter, so the tribe will regularly slaughter those rabbits that have been raised, keeping the rabbit population at about 1,000. The slaughtered rabbits are air-dried or made into bacon for storage, which can save forage and labor; second, it can store a large amount of meat in time as a supplement to the tribal food; The third is to ensure that the population is neither large nor small, and can quickly expand in size when the tribe needs it.
Just like the pig farm in the 21st century, it can be slaughtered almost and the benefits are maximized.
In addition to the slaves, there is also a group of half-grown children who help herd sheep and mow grass and clean the enclosure. In addition to the forage, there are also a lot of reeds around the enclosure, which are used to keep the enclosure warm in winter.
As he was walking, Ding Qi suddenly heard a chattering sound that seemed to be a swarm of rats.
Ding Qi frowned, and looked at the insect with an inquiring gaze, which meant to say:
"What's that sound?"
The insect was stunned for a moment, immediately patted his head, and said to Ding Qi:
"Alas! Boss, look at me, how old is this, my memory is so bad! There's a ewe on the other side of the sheepfold today, and I'll have to go over and see it, or you should go back first, lest the swords and blood over there will give you nightmares at night." ”
Ding Qi ignored her, took her arm, and walked in the direction where the chirp came from. The insect wanted to break free, but she felt that she was caught by a copper hoop, and she couldn't get rid of it, so she could only move forward like a fate, and it seemed that she was extremely reluctant.
The further you go, the louder the chirp becomes. It was a position near the haystack, blocked by the surrounding enclosures and haystacks, and was not always visible even from the city walls.
When Ding Qi saw the dense rats in the enclosure, he had a thick layer of goosebumps all over his body, and even a feeling of nausea and dizziness. There were so many rats in it that they were tumbling up and down and gnawing on the hay, and there were about two or three thousand huge rats in it.
Ding Qi endured his physical discomfort, glared at the worm, and asked unhappily:
"Say it! What's going on? ”
Ding Qi has said before that it is not allowed to raise rats in the tribe, and it is also allowed to eat rats. Unexpectedly, there are still people who don't listen to their orders and secretly raise rats here, it must be the opinion of the upper echelons of the tribe, and it can't be a person.
"Alas, I didn't expect you to find out. This was decided by several elders together. You know, people love to eat rat meat, and they can't catch it in the wild, so they decided to keep some secretly. When you're hungry, you can eat it at any time. It's not that they don't listen to your orders, it's that rat meat is really too tasty. ”
Ding Qi heard that it was decided by the five elders together, and even the Great Elder hid it from himself and the deer, so you can imagine how much they liked it. It seems that there is another content of this rectification movement that can be criticized.
"Humph! Too bold! Don't die, right? ”
Ding Qi's face swayed, and he turned his head and left, leaving the worm pale and at a loss.
Halfway through a soldier, Ding Qi arranged for him to call the canteen to the cafeteria, and he was walking towards it, he wanted to see how the ghee and soap were being made in the cafeteria.
Ding Qi is now learning one thing, and he will immediately teach it to others for promotion, and strive to let more people learn these two crafts. Due to the convenience of the canteen, these two tasks are left to the barbecue.
As soon as I arrived at the cafeteria, I saw that in addition to those who were preparing the meals, there were two more groups of people learning how to make soap and ghee. The rule for the ghee maker to make the barbecue is not less than 1,200 stirrings, and half of the ghee is kept for eating, and half is made into a ghee lamp.
The piece of soap is to let people practice making alkali more, test the plant ash formed after the burning of various wood or grass, and see who makes more alkali and good quality. Ding Qi also asked them to take out the shell of the tung oil seed and burn it, and try to see what the alkali looks like. Anyway, the tribe has a lot of fat in this animal, so you can experiment more.
Ding Qi pointed from time to time, and after a while, Cang ran over, followed by two warriors.
"I'll give you a mission to transport all the rats in the livestock and poultry area out of the city to kill them, and then burn them down. In the future, the Ding tribe will not be allowed to raise mice, once found, the rod will be twenty! ”
As soon as Cang heard this, he immediately arranged for a soldier behind him to order a platoon of soldiers to help, and he rushed to the outside of the rat pen first, preparing to supervise the killing of rats.
Cang understands that this is Ding Qi angry!
