Six thousand people is too few for Lin Ji.

But there is no way, the foundation is placed here, even if Hu Aman agrees to give him the entire 30,000 people of Human, and by the way, all the surrounding tribes are recruited, it is useless.

He can't feed him.

What he needs to do is to find a way to save more food for the next year while feeding the 6,000 people.

The first group of 200 of Ji Lin's men arrived at the edge of Gou Lake a day later.

The equipment of these people is the same as when they come to hunt, and they come with wheelbarrows. And the car is also a satisfying item. In addition to tents, pottery and other daily necessities, bronze and a large number of seeds were also brought with them.

The bronzes were delivered to the tigers. By the way, also give them a part of the seeds.

At this time, there are still a few elephant herds that will bypass the tiger's habitat and walk up the hunting passage. The people of the tiger barbarian are already short of salt, so they don't bother anymore.

The plan of the forest site is to find suitable forest land, and then use the method of containment and interception to intercept some elephant herds, and then let Xiaobai use his natural affinity with the animals to shear the herds of elephants, so that they can adapt to the climate here, so as to achieve the purpose of captive wild elephant herds.

However, after the thousands of bronzes were in the hands of the tiger man, the people of the tiger man dispatched thousands of people to surround the hunting passage after Hu Aman's call, and it only took one day to kill twenty or thirty mammoths and throw them to the forest traces. In the days that followed, they continued their efforts and killed seventy or eighty in succession. Until no more elephants appeared.

This is the meat they gave Ji Lin in exchange for bronze, seeds, and salt.

According to their bid, Ji Lin had to give them a few hundred more bronzes, but the tiger barbarians were magnificent, and more would be given away. In addition, there are a few live baby elephants, which are also considered gifts. Who called Keiko to help us deal with the deer?

For this result, Lin Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Now, the skin, hair, and flesh are all available, and Lin Ji doesn't have to bother to engage in captivity. If the meat is handled well, it will be enough to feed 6,000 people for a few months. If you add some other food, catch some fish or something, you can eat it until the autumn harvest.

But how much salt does it take to process these foods? It's spring and summer instead of autumn and winter, and now that there is no canning process, how long can these meats last?

As a result, this is already the case, and there is no way to do it. In other words, he was late.

In the past few days, he has hunted a small number of mammoths, and if he has to prepare anything to keep in captivity, he may not be able to surround all of them.

He could only take the people from Ji Lin with him in the Roshan and start processing the meat.

There was a plan to hunt mammoths, so the wheelbarrow also brought a lot of salt. Lin Xi emptied a few more wholesale food warehouses from the small town, and finally got enough salt.

After that, he used the strictest requirements to make Ji Lin's people smoke and barbecue day and night. If you don't smoke the meat like firewood, it's not qualified.

During the barbecue process, Lin Ji asked Hu Aman to divide the people in advance, so Qingmu's subordinates and some people who had been hunting by the Gou Lake in previous years also joined the barbecue army. In this way, it is fortunate that the meat is processed before it stinks.

In the course of these days, Youda's 500 people came here under the leadership of the wolf. The people of the tiger barbarians also began to scatter according to the practice of previous years. Ji Lin's people also arrived here in batches after completing the spring plowing of corn.

When Ji Lin's people came, they habitually began to cut down trees and build wooden houses.

Fu Wolf found Lin Ji and said: "Now there are so many people here, and those meat is not enough to eat to be able to hunt, so it is better to let me go hunting." ”

Lin Ji did not agree: "There may not be much place to hunt here." ”

The Tiger Barbarians had just dispersed from three directions, and any prey would be sifted through by them. According to the practice of previous years, the 4,000 people here are now mainly fishing in the lake. In the other three directions, there is basically no territory allocated to this side.

Unless you venture into the swamp, you don't have to think about hunting. But now it is no more than autumn and winter, when the miasma in the swamp is rampant, and it is very adventurous.

Fu Wolf said: "Then let your people build more ships, and I will take people to fish." ”

The wolf was really a little anxious about the forest tracks. He knew that his nephew was good to him, because because he could make Youda owe thousands of baskets of meat, and even Lin Ji didn't mean to ask them to pay it back. Now Lin Ji saw Youda's problem and helped them raise five hundred people. He also said that in the autumn, he gave them 2,000 baskets, that is, 200,000 catties of grain. That's just too much.

Ji Lin will definitely be able to come up with so much food by then. But Ji Lin's food was also obtained by Ji Lin's efforts up and down. How could Lin Ji just give it away?

Therefore, Fu Wolf hopes that he can play a role, and he can't just help guard this place and get so many benefits.

Lin Ji said: "Fishing must be done, and shipbuilding will definitely be built." But I have a more important thing to do at this time. ”

Lin Ji saw the wolf's thoughts, and continued: "Don't worry, the food that was said to be given to you will not be sent to you from Ji Lin. You have to grow it yourself here. ”

"We grow our own? How to grow it here? The wolf wondered.

The planting method passed down by Ji Lin is really very good. Last year, Youda planted a small plot of sweet potatoes, and the harvest was quite amazing. However, the wolf also knows how laborious it is to open up the wasteland. Even if there were bronze tools, it would take several people to work day and night for several days to open up a piece of land.

How can this be cleared now? And, doesn't it say that planting needs to look at the season? Even if the wasteland is cleared, there is still enough time to plant?

Lin Ji smiled and said: "I not only want to plant, but also plan to plant more than 50,000 acres of land." ”

Fu Wolf has been dating Ji Lin for a long time, and he probably knows the concept of mu and 50,000, and when he heard this, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded: "How to plant?" ”

He heard that Ji Lin's current planting area seems to be only 8,000 acres.

"You can see it just by looking at it." Lin Ji didn't explain, but just let Fu Wolf feel at ease and wait for the arrangement.

Ji Lin's people spent some time and initially built some wooden houses to store dried meat and used them as kitchens, etc., and then they took out hundreds of people, under the command of Lin Ji, to help sort out the manpower of Human and Youda.

The people of Human and Youda are half male and half female. There are also hundreds of children. This was left behind with my mother.

Lin Ji divides men, women, and children over the age of 10 into teams of 10 people, and asks a person from Ji Lin to lead them to do simple planting training.

In this process, Qingmu and Hu Yier Fu Wolf helped to play and press, and it was a victory.

After the training, corn seeds and sticks were distributed, and Lin Ji took the people to start planting.

Before the development of human agriculture to the deep cultivation, there was no such thing as land reclamation. At that time, the main farming method was called slash-and-burn farming. Lin Ji took them to do just that.

The hunting passage was burned by fire last year, leaving a lot of plant ash behind. Countless beasts have been slaughtered here, and countless beast blood is also fertilizing the land. At the same time, the beasts come and go, and they also leave enough manure and fertilizer here. When You Da thought of slash-and-burn farming, Lin Ji immediately thought of being here.

At this time, the soil of the hunting passage was moist, and many places were trampled by the herds of beasts returning north, and it was no different from the ground that had been turned over. The grass is just beginning to sprout, and some of the larger roots have been uprooted and eaten.

At this point, just poke a hole in the ground with a wooden root, put in the seeds, and step back a little more. Corn is planted. After the corn sprouts, weeds are removed once or twice, and Lin Ji thinks that the harvest should not be bad.

There are 6,000 people here, and it takes a few days to plant tens of thousands of acres of land.

At that time, even if one acre of land produces 100 catties and 50,000 mu is planted, there will be 5 million catties of grain. What if you plant 100,000 acres?

With this food, plus the meat that can be obtained by the herd back and forth, Lin Ji feels that he will be able to keep 20,000 people here next year.

If the remaining 20,000 people work again next year, by the third year, it should be able to feed 50,000 people.

At that point, there is so much that can be done. Whether it is the founding of the country or the extermination of the deer, the forest trails will be fully certain.

The team of 6,000 men stretched out horizontally, all the way to the north to sow seeds. This picture is also quite beautiful.

Lin Ji planned in front with a few people, leaving a fire barrier twenty or thirty meters wide every few hundred meters. Then let everyone go around the hills and puddles. However, it took a few days to plant behind the winter ice castle. The cumulative planting is not 100,000 mu, but only about 70,000 mu.

After everyone finished planting, they walked back along the left passage, and they could only see the potholes that had been stepped on all the way. Many people can't imagine the scenery here in autumn, and they don't even know what they have done in the past few days.

After the planting was completed, the forest site began to arm the hunting passage with people on the second day.

At this time, the Ice City had melted. The defensive line that had been set up before hunting was also basically scattered by the herd. The forest trail led the people to cut wood from the forest to the south again. Heavy wooden piles were placed on the original third line of defense to prevent horses. At the same time, fishermen were dispatched in the lake to prevent small-scale raids by the deer people.

With thousands of men working together and wheelbarrows carrying wood, the defence was quickly erected.

After the defense line was built, Lin Ji also built hundreds of wooden houses here.

But what is incomprehensible is that on the west side of Mu Suzi is close to the swamp, the forest trails obviously leave a range of dozens of meters, and the defense is very weak. In other places, the wooden stakes and horses are layered, and thorns such as Zhemu are planted in the middle. But in the position on the west side, there are only a few layers of loose rejection horses, and it is estimated that the mammoth beast will open as soon as it hits.

Along this direction, there is also a whole road that is not planted with corn, dozens of meters wide.

The corn had sprouted and pulled its leaves, and Tim, who was standing on the hillside, saw the path left in the green corn bushes, and couldn't help but ask Lin Ji, "What did you leave this path for?" ”

"That's what I left behind." Lin Ji replied.

"Are you really stopping us from hunting?" Tim was surprised, "But, but ......"

Although Lin Ji had already said this change more than once, it was still difficult for Qing Mu to accept seeing that Lin Ji had made specific arrangements. She always felt that there was something she was not used to, but she "but" for a long time, and she didn't say why.

Lin Ji said: "After spring ploughing, I Ji Lin basically don't need to go out hunting, and I can concentrate on producing bronze tools. A little bigger, it should only take two months for all of us here to use bronze tools. After that, we can come to other tribes to exchange and teach them how to build a stockade. ”

"If the surrounding tribes are willing to accept our kindness, they should be able to build a stockade to defend against mammoths before autumn. Later, if they were brave enough, it would not be a problem to go out hunting these beasts with these bronze tools in the winter. In this way, these tribes will be made to be the same as the Tiger Barbarians. You won't be hungry in winter. ”

"It's the same with Tiger Man. You've got a lot of bronzes by this time. Build your own stockade in each stronghold. It's okay not to move here for the winter. When the time comes, you should be able to hunt Longhair near your stronghold. I think it can be a little more convenient for you. When the time comes, you can also cultivate near each stronghold for a more stable source of food. ”

The tiger barbarians migrate twice a year, which will definitely cause great inconvenience. The deaths and injuries of the old and weak in this process should be extremely heavy. Keeping them from migrating should be conducive to improving their quality of life.

Of course, from a certain point of view, this change in lifestyle will also change the tribal cohesion of the tiger barbarians. This may be conducive to the differentiation and absorption of this tribe by the forest trails.

"And build a city here?" Tim's brain was a little outnumbered.

Since the people of the tiger barbarians don't need to hunt here, spend the winter here, what are they doing here to build a city?

"Building a city here is a way to make better use of the resources of migrating beasts. Integrate various workshops, and also fight against the deer. ”

The line of defense is built. Lin Ji began to divide the labor of these 6,000 people.

He first selected 2,000 strong men from among the 3,000 men, and then formed an army. The organization method of a squad of 10 people and a team of 100 people is still used. The captain of each team of ten is elected by the members of each team. The centurion consisted of eight barbarian guards outside the folded teeth exchanged to Ji Lin, and the leader brought by Ji Lin.

Two thousand people are divided into two thousand teams. Respectively, the Broken Tooth and the Wolf served as the commander. Po Tu became the commander of the army.

When these men are selected, they take turns to set up defenses in the defensive line, or train and work behind the passages.

Of the remaining 4,000 people, Lin Xi selected a thousand women, who were in charge of agriculture under the leadership of the Ji Lin people. They plant fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes, etc. in a corner of the hunting channel, and later they will also replant and weed the corn fields.

The other 3,000 people are starting to cut wood, build houses, build ships, dig kilns and burn pottery, burn bricks, burn tiles, build tools, etc., in preparation for the city to be built.

After going back and forth on the hunting passage, Lin Ji finally chose the location for the city.
