Chapter 52: I want to build a base
As the bag opened, people craned their necks to look into the bag.
The few people who were tied up seemed to have something interesting here, and they also wanted to come and take a look, but because they were afraid, they could only sit there honestly, and only peeked at this side from time to time.
The four people who followed Wang Lang naturally knew what this was, but Wang Lang just said a few words before, and they also knew a little bit in their hearts, they knew that what could be valued by Wang Lang must be of great use, and they were also curious at the moment waiting for Wang Lang's explanation.
"Lang, what is this?" Someone asked.
Wang Lang shook the ears of grain in his hand and said, "This is something that can be eaten, and our food in the future will be mainly this thing." ”
Hearing that Wang Lang had found something to eat again, and he valued it so much, except for the four of them, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Looking at these clansmen who were about to salivate, Wang Lang smiled and said, "This thing can't be eaten directly, it's too dark now, I'll make it for everyone to eat tomorrow." ”
Hearing that they couldn't eat it now, people suddenly lost interest and sat back down.
Wang Lang was unconcerned about their reaction, and continued: "We will plant this thing in the future, and when we harvest a batch, I plan to establish a settlement near that salt mine. ”
"Aren't we good here, why do we want to go there and we don't use much salt, one visit is enough for us to use for a long time, we don't need to move there?" Wuyun asked puzzled.
Without waiting for Wang Lang to speak, Fanxing also said: "Lang, we have just built a wall and a house here, don't we want it?" ”
People were very opposed to Wang Lang's approach, and they stepped forward to persuade Wang Lang to dispel this idea.
Wang Lang was a little hurt by these people's noise, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Shut up!" ”
Seeing that Wang Lang was angry and the noisy voice disappeared at once, Wang Lang suddenly felt that the world was a lot cleaner.
Wang Lang looked at the crowd with a gloomy face, and said with a slight anger: "You still don't let me finish my words, did I say that the entire tribe will be moved?" ”
People couldn't help but look at each other, it didn't seem to have said so just now, and people felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"Hey, that... We weren't right, Lang, what do you mean by establishing a place to live. The toothy hippie smiled and wanted to defuse the awkward atmosphere.
Wang Lang slanted his teeth and snorted coldly: "I plan to send some people to live there in the future, this grove will be cut down by us in a short time, we will need a lot of wood in the future, we can only get it from there." ”
Seeing that people were all thinking seriously, Wang Lang paused for a while and continued: "We need hemp to make rope and weave cloth, and bamboo to make bows and arrows, all of which have to be found in the forest, and it is difficult to find even a large stone on the grassland, and many things have to be obtained there, and it takes too long to go back and forth from here." ”
The thoughtful dark cloud frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Lang, how can we solve our food problem when we go there and build a settlement, the number of people is too small to build a wall while hunting, this is simply not possible." ”
Seeing that Wuyun could actually think of this, Wang Lang smiled with relief and said, "You are right, so I just said that I would wait for these things to be harvested before I went to get the matter of the place of residence." ”
When people heard Wang Lang's explanation, they looked at the ears of grain in the bag with some suspicion, they couldn't imagine that such an inconspicuous thing could actually solve people's food problems.
The older Black Stone, who had experienced a lot of starvation, didn't care if the tribe was going to migrate, as long as he could eat enough, he would go the same way, touched his messy beard, and asked, "Lang, can these things in the bag really feed us?" ”
Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Of course it is not enough to rely on this point in the bag, but there are many of these things growing in that place, as long as we collect them and plant them as seeds, we can eat enough without even hunting when we harvest." ”
Hearing that they could eat without hunting, people suddenly became excited, and if what Wang Lang said was true, then people would not have to risk their lives to hunt.
While most people were excited, there were people who saw the problem.
Because Huo had seen the grain field and knew the amount of millet in that place, it was almost impossible to collect all the ears of grain and carry them back with manpower.
"Lang, there are too many things in that place, how long will it take for us to carry them back after we collect them." Fire asked.
The corners of Wang Lang's mouth curled, and he said, "Have you forgotten that place is on the edge of the river?" ”
Huo looked at Wang Lang suspiciously, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned Kehe.
The dark clouds on the side suddenly realized: "Lang, you mean that we can use a raft to transport things back?" ”
Wang Lang wanted to pretend to say a word to the dark clouds, the children can be taught, and the fire can not be carved.
But because they couldn't understand these two sentences, Wang Lang regretted that he couldn't experience the pleasure of pretending to be forced.
With the dark clouds to solve the puzzle, the fire also reacted, and used the raft to transport it, so there was naturally no problem in transporting those things back.
The other people who had never seen the grain field had no idea about the number of ears of grain, and when they saw Wang Lang, they pulled them to the raft as they talked, and they were very puzzled and in a state of bewilderment.
Wang Lang nodded and said: "What the dark clouds said is right, this river flows gently, even if it is against the current, it is much more convenient than using people to carry it, in the future, we can establish a place to live there, we can process things there, and use rafts to transport them, now this place is only used for hunting and producing food." ”
Wang Lang's idea is that one of these two settlements is used as an agricultural base and the other as an industrial base, although it is a bit far-fetched to describe it as an industry, but as long as he lays a good foundation, with the development of population in the future, it is inevitable to build a city, and it is not unthinkable that the residence under the river has a good foundation, and it is not unthinkable to form a city dominated by handicrafts.
The others listened to Wang Lang's head and head is the Tao, although they are in the fog of what they heard, but as long as they don't give up their current place of residence and go downstream to get one, people have no opinion.
Seeing that the people agreed with his idea, Wang Lang said with satisfaction: "Since everyone has no opinions, let's start making a few rafts tomorrow, and send a few people over in a few days to collect this thing." ”
"Lang, since this thing is so important, let's give it a name!" Fanxing said.
"I've already thought about this, I call this plant millet, and its seeds are called rice."
"Corn?" The stars muttered.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "Corn will be the key to our tribe's prosperity. ”
