Chapter 150: Extinguishing the Mouth (I)

The sky was overcast, and a long dragon-like lightning flashed, and with a "boom", the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed.

It was the first heavy rain after the end of spring, and it represented the arrival of a hot and rainy summer.

Since the last time the hunting team fought with the hunting team of an unknown tribe, the hunting team has not encountered any new enemies, Su Yan has guessed that the enemies encountered by the hunting team are likely to be from the evil cannibal tribe, and only the cannibal tribe will take the initiative to attack other primitive tribes, and the cannibal tribe can use the same kind as prey and food.

Through this battle, Su Yan also knew that there was a cannibal tribe in the area around the dragon tribe, which was definitely not good news for other small tribes or medium-sized tribes, but it didn't matter to the powerful dragon tribe, and even Su Yan wanted to take the initiative to find this cannibal tribe and completely wipe it out.

Su Yan estimated that this cannibal tribe would be at least half a day's journey from the dragon tribe, and he didn't know where this cannibal tribe lived, and it was very troublesome to find this cannibal tribe's place of residence in the jungle, so he could only rely on luck.

Before the summer, Su Yan had been leading his escort team to explore the area around the Dragon Tribe's residence, collecting a lot of various herbs and discovering seven wild pepper trees, but the metal veins that Su Yan had been looking for still had no trace.

Also, the land is vast, and it is not so simple to find a metal vein, even if a metal vein is found, it is a question whether it can be mined with the current conditions of the Dragon Tribe.

The most worthy of Su Yan's attention is the construction of the new home, the wall was completed, the temple was completed, and more than 30 tiled houses were built, which can accommodate 600 people.

The tiled houses are better than the houses that the people of the Dragon Tribe live in now, but Su Yan does not plan to let the Dragon Tribe move until there are enough tiled houses to accommodate all the people of the tribe.

In order to be able to move into a new home before winter, when it doesn't rain in the summer, the people of the dragon tribe will also be busy building a new home, and it is best to finish the new home at the end of the summer, after all, they will be busy collecting food for the winter in the autumn.

The good news is that the new home in the summer has been built with the efforts of all the clansmen, including the school, bathhouse, toilet, animal pen, pottery kiln and other buildings have been completed, and the tiled houses built are enough for everyone to live in.

Choose a good weather, the people of the dragon tribe move to a new home a few hundred meters away with all their belongings, this dragon tribe only lived in a year and a half of the home will be abandoned, those houses that took a short time to build are completely incomparable to the quality of the tile house, there is already a slight leak in the rainy season, the roof laid by the leaves of this plant will have to be re-laid in two years at most, after moving to the new home, it is expected that there is no need to worry about the problem of house leakage within ten years.

The day after moving to a new home, the annual blind date will come, and this year the numbered people will not be able to join it, and next year, the numbered people who have just come of age will also participate.

In the past two years, the numbered people have almost integrated into the dragon tribe, and there is one more thing to do before they can completely integrate into the dragon tribe - to destroy the monkey witch, the leader of the monkey tribe, and others.

The purpose of keeping the Monkey Witch, the Monkey Tribe Leader and others alive is to appease the ordinary people who occupy most of the Monkey Tribe, and this belief is not the point, the most important thing is that the Monkey Witch and the Monkey Tribe leader are the leaders of the Monkey Tribe, and if they die, it is likely that the people of the Monkey Tribe will rebel fiercely.

When the Dragon Tribe attacked the Monkey Tribe last spring, it was to take the Monkey Witch as a hostage, and the Fourth would surrender with the clansmen, if there was no Monkey Witch as hostages but only those ordinary clansmen as hostages, the Four would most likely take the clansmen to continue to resist.

Now that the Monkey Witch, the Monkey Tribe Leader and others are no longer useful, it's time to send them on their way.

Su Yan discussed with several patriarchs of the Dragon Tribe, and chose a few times for them to die unexpectedly.

The dragon tribe divided several teams to collect fruits everywhere, and a few days later, the crops planted outside the dragon tribe's residence were also harvested, and Su Yan and his people were busy "harvesting" the crops.

The first crops to be harvested are the two acres of millet, and the final output is more than 140 catties of millet, and the average yield per mu is more than 70 catties.

You must know that millet is the main food of ancient people, the yield of millet per mu during the Warring States period was more than 200 catties, in the Han Dynasty the yield per mu of millet was close to 300 catties, and in modern times the yield per mu of millet is more than 600 catties.

After the millet was harvested, Su Yan took people to harvest hemp seeds and hemp skins, the planting area of hemp is not like millet like only two acres can be harvested quickly, this year's dragon tribe hemp planting area is 1,400 mu, which is more than 70 times the hemp planting area last year.

In order to harvest hemp seeds and hemp skins quickly, Su Yan sent more clansmen, including minors, to come over to help, anyway, hemp seeds can also be used as food for the winter.

It took five days to remove all the seeds, and another five days to peel off the skins.

One mu of hemp is harvested about 67 catties of hemp seeds, multiplied by 1,400 mu, and the total weight of hemp seeds harvested is expected to be close to 95,000 catties, which is converted into more than 45 tons per ton.

Take an ordinary adult male of the Dragon Tribe who needs to use five catties of hemp seeds a day to fill his stomach as an example, he needs to eat 1,800 catties a year, and the hemp seeds harvested by the Dragon Tribe this year are only enough for fifty adult male clansmen to eat for a year, and the yield of hemp seeds is still a little small, and it is expected to be much better if it is replaced by millet for large-scale planting in the future.

As for hemp skin, the yield per mu is about 150 catties, and the total harvest reaches 100 tons, it is expected that the dragon tribe will not lack fishing nets and hemp ropes in the future, Su Yan is also considering weaving hemp cloth with hemp fibers, but this is a technical job, Su Yan has almost no knowledge accumulation in this area, and he needs to try it slowly by himself.

At the end of the first month of autumn, Su Yan, Yuan, Biao, and Song led the team out, Yuan and Song took the salt mining team to collect impurity salt, and Su Yan and Biao took the team to the hometown of the Dragon tribe to harvest pepper, once this year, once next year, and the new home will produce pepper in the year after tomorrow, and there is no longer any need to go back to their hometown, but the salt mining team still has to come here to collect impurity salt.

The harvest of Zanthoxylum pepper is more than last year, last year's harvest of Zanthoxylum pepper seeds is more than 250 catties, this year's harvest of Zanthoxylum pepper seeds is more than 330 catties, and a single Zanthoxylum pepper tree yields about four taels.
