Chapter 205: Salt Farm
"Then divide the room, it will be divided in the morning and evening." The old man didn't think much of it.
But Su Yang answered: "I think that we will divide the room together after the repair is completed, otherwise the people who live in the new house first will be relaxed." Elders, what do you think, is it better to divide the room now, or will it be divided later? ”
He had dug a hole, and no matter what Matsu answered, he would say the opposite, in order to make the other elders make a choice.
No accident, the nine elders who supported him yesterday said that they would wait until the future to divide the room.
Ji Li said: "I think what Su Yang said makes sense, and I agree to divide the room in the future." ”
Suddenly, an elder in Dongshan chimed in: "It's probably unfair to divide the room now, and divide it later." ”
"Later!" An elder of Dongxue also seconded.
Su Yang sat on the futon, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart, like an old monk in his meditation, but Chen and the hill couldn't withstand the pressure.
Elder Chen hurriedly said in a loud voice: "What matters now is the salt mine and the lotus platform, let's discuss it after the room is divided." ”
The hill elder showed weakness even more, "It's hot weather, and it's good to live in a wooden shed, and we will divide it later." ”
Great Elder Matsu's face finally changed, she never expected that her good grandson would win over the four elders so quickly.
The result was not over, and another elder in Dongshan couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said, "Su Yang said well, I agree." ”
Su Yang only raised his eyes at this time, glanced around, and finally said slowly: "All the elders have expressed their opinions just now, I thought about it again, and I think that what Matsu said is also reasonable. In this way, let the infirm live in the new house first, and focus on the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and the sick.
Ten suites, just so that each clan can take care of it, and everyone will not have complaints. After the lotus platform is taken, the warriors can continue to build houses on the periphery, and at that time, they will be given to the warriors to live in......"
As soon as he said it, fifteen elders seconded it, and the general trend was achieved. He moved back into the bureau and once again swayed the course of the Council of Elders. At the same time, in the end, he followed Matsu's wishes and killed two birds with one stone, but he still left sequelae, but so what, youth is the capital.
Without him Su Butcher, the tribe can really only eat hairy pigs, and he is irreplaceable.
Without him, not to mention far away, just the salt mine can't be played. After the meeting, a few relatively young elders decided to set off together, and Matsu would go with them this time, raising two hundred soldiers and fifty auxiliaries, of course, this was with the addition of dozens of people from the salt mine.
For the time being, the tribe is governed by the other elders, and the first priority is security and defense, and if there is danger, the first time to notify the large army that has gone out.
The materials that need to be carried have been counted, and this time the Kui Niu was brought out, so it may be able to play a role. After more than ten days, Kui Niu has adapted to the rope, knowing that it will hurt when he pulls the rope, and he is almost honest, so he can pull it out.
However, as soon as he went out, he wanted to run, but fortunately, he was prepared, and was pulled by a dozen strong warriors, and he was able to control it.
On the way, the Kui Niu wanted to eat grass, and Su Yang also let it eat, and asked the large army to stop and wait, which is the natural harmony between humans and animals.
The Kui Bull has a huge body, amazing strength, extremely strong endurance, and an equally amazing recovery power, so if you can subdue it and become a mount, don't be too cool. And this is a bull, which can be used for breeding, and you can get more herds in the future.
He was not sure if there were wild horses in this period, and if he wanted to go further afield, he could not rely on two legs alone, but he had to have mounts, one was a packer, and the other was a packer.
The team was huge, and the three hunting teams were led by Pabhu, Dakang, and Chun, respectively, and some other people were transferred, and a total of two hundred warriors could be gathered.
Su Yang actually intended to restructure the hunting team, and after breaking up the three hundred fighters, he was reorganizing to form different types of troops, but he never had time to spare. These days, the soldiers also serve as the main labor force, that is, to repair houses, dig salt mines, and go out to hunt, there is really no time to spare to train the army.
It is said that the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and now that it is summer, the war with the Xiyi people may have to be postponed, and the plan is not as fast as the change.
From the tribe to the salt mine, there is a shortcut, the shortest straight line has been explored before, and now the large team has passed, although it has brought a lot of supplies, but because almost all of them are soldiers, the speed of travel has become faster, and it will take about forty minutes to reach the place.
"It's Su who is back, and the elders are there, and there are a lot of people here." The more than 30 people who stayed behind were naturally very happy to see the large army, people are social animals, they have spent more than ten days here when they came out, at first they were fine with Su Yang, but now there are only these people who keep making holes, which is really boring.
Su Yang opened his mouth and said: "Everyone take a look casually first, don't go far, this is the salt pan in the future." ”
"Matsu, this way, please." Although he can influence the vote of the Council of Elders, the old man is the eldest elder and his grandmother, in fact, there is no conflict, as for the old man's idea of preference for women over men, this is affected by the environment, and there is no way and no reason to blame.
And the old man Matsu's heart actually doesn't have so many twists and turns, just because of his strong personality, he likes to grasp the power in his hands and let others obey, and his core concept is still for the tribe.
Facing the salt mine that was about to be mined, the unhappiness at the previous meeting was nothing, not to mention that Su Yang also respected her opinion in the end.
Su Yang took a few elders to look at the three wells first, and then pointed to ten meters away from one of the wells, and at a depth of thirty-five meters below, it was probably the destination of the hole. As for how to define the unit of one meter, just refer to the height of young children.
There are also such as catties of these units, in fact, there are references, such as a bamboo tube of water, about a little more than a catty, he is the soul of modern people, accustomed to the modern unit of measurement, applied to the present, but only to take a rough, but relatively can make people understand the concept of length, weight, area, etc.
Another example is the unit of zhang, which in ancient times referred to the height of adults, and the husband, which means that he can marry a wife and have children. In different periods, the same unit is called, and its measurement is very different.
Maybe one day he will be the emperor, and he can implement the same book and the same track. Well, this is robbing the First Emperor of his merits, what a sin!
Then they walked to the place where the hole was made, and he expected to make the hole at an angle of about thirty degrees to the ground, and when they hit the rock layer, it should be about sixty degrees to the upright wall of the hole. It is equivalent to forming a right-angled triangle with the ground, which will be relatively stable in structure, and the inclined slope is also suitable for transporting brine.
Of course, a relatively large and stable hole will be excavated in the rock layer, and although this is only an idea, it is now being implemented.
This hole is only a few meters deep, the angle is already wrong, he quickly corrected it, the length of the whole hole is about seventy meters, according to this progress, it is estimated that it will take half a month at the earliest, and it will take a month to slow down. Because of the need to erect wooden door frames in the cave during the process, the further down you go, the slower the transportation and excavation will be, and there are many uncontrollable factors in it.
It is also more reasonable to put thirty people here, and they can take turns to fight, including hunting, and be self-sufficient. Of course, if you want to build a house and a place to boil salt, you need more people. In the end, he estimated that about a hundred people should be put here, and as for who would be in charge, he had not yet figured out who would be in charge, and he still needed the approval of the elders.
"My plan is that this salt farm will produce at least 50 catties of salt a day." Well, this yield is too low, but it can't be too demanding, otherwise it will be a tragedy to be slapped in the face.
Even if he only said fifty catties, he shocked everyone, because there are salt clans from the beginning of spring to the present, and the excess salt is only thirty or forty catties, and they want to exchange it for a hundred catties of salt, and they have to be divided into three trades.
"Can you really have as much as you say?" Matsu was excited, as if she had seen a more powerful bear in the future, perhaps in her lifetime, she could witness the bear become a big tribe, and she would be the first leader, remembered by future generations.
In fact, Su Yang has had the intention to build the Matsu Temple from a long time ago and let future generations sacrifice, so what the old man hopes for will definitely have a chance to come true! (To be continued.) )
