Volume 2 Planting Chapter 108 The Beginning of Farming Civilization (Proofreading)

Through the efforts of the tribesmen, the construction of the wall and the construction of houses that were not planned by the king have been completed.

Now you just need to wait for the house to dry before you can move into your new home, and the house with plenty of food and good insulation will make this winter no longer scare the people of the tribe.

According to past experience, there is still half a month before the arrival of the first snow this year, and before that, Wang Tian decided to carry out the work of cultivating cultivated land.

Cultivation in primitive times, that is, slash-and-burn farming, was simple and crude, but it also seemed to be the most reasonable way.

The infinity of the land, although the harvest of slash-and-burn farming is meager, but because of the large base of land and the lack of manpower, it is the most reasonable choice.

But for the initial land reclamation, what Wang Tian needed was some land that could be intensively cultivated for seedling breeding.

For farming, Wang Tian is also a layman, he has never planted, and he can only cross the river by feeling the stones, Wang Tian has heard a sentence: "To be highly productive, deep ploughing." "It seems to make a lot of sense.

Wang Tian found a rope ruler, measured out a standard acre of land, and then asked people to take out Luoyang shovels, stone hoes, and began to dig deep.

The crushed soil is then leveled, the scattered soil is collected, and a ditch is dug next to the land to divert water.

This prevents waterlogging of the land during heavy rains, and as for the water source of the cultivated land, this is easy to handle.

In order to prevent the river from rising sharply during the spring and summer flood seasons, Wang Tian planned a certain distance from the river bank of the intensive cultivated land, and the irrigation water source was drawn from the water in the stream.

After the land occupation is good, due to the inappropriate tools, it is very difficult to turn it deeply, because the seeds that can be used for cultivation are very scarce, and Wang Tian has no sense of urgency for the reclamation of cultivated land.

After the spring of next year, there is still a whole year for land reclamation, and it is not a problem that the speed is not fast, as long as these raw lands are well cultivated, and after digging deep and ploughing, sprinkle farm manure on them.

In Wang Tian's plan, he first let the existing seeds in the tribe, each variety, be planted with one acre of land, and all these fields should be sprinkled with thick farm fertilizer.

At present, the only seeds and plants that can be planted on an acre of land are wild onions and soybeans.

For soybean cultivation, the real can be described as intensive farming, and there is not a single egg-sized clod of soil on the entire acre of land, all of which are broken into fine crushed soil.

The farmhouse manure mixed with plant ash was evenly sprinkled on the whole acre of land, and the yellow soil of the primitive era soon turned into fertile black soil.

Fertilizer is still not enough, a full 900 acres of land can be used for farming, and now this fertilizer is not a dime.

Fortunately, in addition to human excrement, dozens of pheasants and rabbits can also provide some fertilizer, and these two animals seem to be rectums, and they can be pulled when they are eaten.

In addition, the grass is made of hemp grass, and the fertilizer made from the fish offal, which weighed 10 tons, after being mixed with plant ash, lime and clay, it is still enough for the current dozen acres of land.

The reason why lime is mixed into the soil is because the internal organs of those decaying fish are prone to bacteria and small insects, and lime can kill some of the pests.

For the collection of fertilizer, Wang Tian thought of the biogas digester in the construction of new villages in later generations.

The construction of the biogas digester is not complicated, Wang Tian has seen it many times, the reason why he asked people to build the biogas digester is not to use biogas, but the biogas digester has been treated, and the fertilizer after fermentation has been fermented, and its fertility is several times that of ordinary farm fertilizer.

When Wang Tian used his limited knowledge of cultivated land to guide everyone how to plough the ground, level the land and apply fertilizer, there were 7 followers running in front of and behind him.

These are 5 wolf cubs and two little tiger cubs, 5 little wolf cubs, after being brought back to the tribe, they never drank a mouthful of milk again, usually Wang Tian asked Ling'er to feed with boiled broth.

And the two little tiger cubs, after more than half a month of human milk feeding, have grown stronger and stronger, and they do not have the previous hungry and dying appearance at all.

These two little tiger cubs recognized Wang Tian as their mother, and from time to time they also learned from 5 little wolf cubs and wagged their tails at Wang Tian.

That's right, since the adoption of the 5 little wolf cubs, Wang Tian has not fed them with raw meat, and all the meat that has been eaten to his mouth is all cooked.

Wang Tian hopes to use this method to reduce their wolf nature, and now he has learned to wag his tail, although it is still so blunt, but it is finally a good start.

For these 7 meat-eating guys, Wang Tian is actually very nervous, as the so-called dog travels thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, this is determined by nature, Wang Tian looks at these 7 meat-eating guys carefully every day.

Once anyone dares to bark their teeth at someone, the stick in Wang Tian's hand will not hesitate to pull it down, even if he is beaten and screamed, Wang Tian will not be soft at all.

There are no other food crops in the tribe now, so they can only eat meat, and if there is corn or rice from rice, it would be better if it could be mixed with food to feed them.

It is estimated that it is impossible to change the tiger to a vegetarian or omnivorous diet, but as a dog to train 5 wolf cubs, it is completely possible.

Once they succeed and change their eating habits, the wildness of the 5 wolf cubs is bound to be fundamentally eliminated.

For the two little tigers, Wang Tian is a little love and hate, these two guys grow up to be a big stomach, and the meat they need will be a big burden for the tribe in the future.

According to the data provided by the zoo in later generations, Wang Tian remembers that an adult tiger eats at least 12 kilograms of fresh meat a day, and the pheasants and rabbits that the tribe now raises are not enough for them to fight their teeth for a few days when they grow up.

It seems that when they grow up, they will have to learn to hunt on their own, and if they rely on people to feed them, it will be a bit unbearable.

But if they learn to hunt, will they pose a threat to the safety of the people in the tribe? If the wild breaks out, what should you do?

Compared with human lives, Wang Tian of course chose to protect the lives of everyone in the tribe, and these two little tiger cubs were raised by the milk of several women in the tribe who had just become mothers.

But Wang Tian found these two goods, and left after eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth, turned his face and didn't recognize people, and he didn't have the slightest intention of repaying his kindness.

At most, when he is hungry, he will turn around behind a few women with milk, learn from 5 little wolf cubs, shake the tail like a small steel whip twice to show goodwill, and after eating and drinking, he will gallop back to Wang Tian's heels, and then never leave.

The people in the tribe are still full of fear for these running beasts, although they are still young, but as time goes by, especially the performance of the five little wolf cubs, everyone slowly let down their guard.

But the Son of Heaven instructed them that once they found that these guys had a tendency to bite, they must not be soft.

For the personal safety of everyone in the tribe, Wang Tian has always been worried, these 7 walking meat-eating beasts still maintain their arrogant character, and only in front of Wang Tian and Xiao Ling, will they show their appearance.

It is possible to feed wolf cubs and domesticate them into dogs, but for the two tiger cubs, Wang Tian really has no confidence......
