When he woke up, Yang Jiao's intestines were full of regret.

You said that the atmosphere was so good last night, how ripe the time was, why did you fall asleep without paying attention, in a daze, I only remember that Yulia carried herself into the room, there should be a lot of stories about the origin of life, but I was stunned and drank vodka, okay, those stories are all to tell Zhou Gong.

The traces left after the carnival of the settlement have been cleaned up, if there is no accident, the birth rate of babies in the second year will be greatly improved, Yang Li walked along the dirt road in the middle of the settlement, and the people he met would bow down to him to say hello, Xiao Zhen Mi ran in front of him with a bunch of blades of grass, and he didn't mean to bird him at all.

Yang Li hurriedly grabbed the little girl: "Did you see the falcon wings?" ”

"Learn spearfish by the river, Sister Yulia is teaching them."

This skill is powerful, relying on simple fishing nets, the efficiency of fishing is not very high, making harpoons can not only be used as a supplementary item for fishing nets, but also to train the clansmen's throwing ability, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Go and call Hayabusa over, and besides, call Yulia Auntie, understand." Yang Li took out a piece of jerky from his pocket, and just waited for Xiao Zhen Mi to say yes, and gave her the jerky.

"I'll call it," Zhen Mi snatched the jerky, and then wrinkled her nose, this action was probably learned from Mao Mei, "But you are an uncle, she is a sister, and it will always be like this." ”

With that, he slipped away and went to the river.

Hayabusa received the order and hurried over, Yang Li opened his laptop, found a picture of Shu, and asked him if he had seen this plant.

When they saw the luminous notebook for the first time, those primitive people were really shocked for a while, thinking that there was a person hidden in it, and Yang Jiao said it badly, so they believed that General Zhang was just a phantom, not that he had been locked up, and at the same time, the pictures of cows, horses and sheep that appeared in it were also the truth, they were not living creatures.

So Hayabusa stared left and right at the picture of the mushroom, and finally replied, "I've seen a similar grass, but it's not like the picture." ”

Of course, although it is actually soybean, the picture in Yang Li's notebook is a modern crop that has been bred and cultivated for thousands of years, which is very different from the ancient wild soybean.

Yang Li sifted through the grains, and in addition to the millet that was already being planted, the second agricultural crops selected were soybeans and soybeans.

Why soybeans, because beans provide more protein, which is a good source of nutrition for people who lack meat, but also can be used for oil extraction, and more importantly, soybeans are processed and are important feed for chickens, cattle and horses.

Cattle and horses only eat grass, of course, they will not die, but they will lose fat.

If you want the oxen to have the strength to pull the plough and the horse to charge into battle, you have to feed it with grain, and the lords of medieval Europe cultivated oats in large quantities.

The rations of a war horse are sometimes much better than those of miscellaneous soldiers.

In Yang Li's long-term plan, domesticating war horses and forming iron horses is a goal that must be achieved.

If there are wild soybeans growing nearby, then it is necessary to quickly plant and improve, Yang Li immediately gathered more than ten men, accompanied by Falcon Wing, to the place he said, where the soybeans were found.

When he went out, Huya was carrying a sledgehammer to follow, but was stopped by Yang Jiao.

"We are no longer a small clan with a dozen households," Yang Li explained to the giant, "different people have different things, and what you have to do is to train our warriors and let them know how to kill the enemy more efficiently." ”

With the protection of the experienced hunter Falcon, Yang Li felt that it was enough, and more than a dozen people were holding wooden sticks and stones, which could make most of the fierce beasts look away.

The place that Falcon Wing said is in a wasteland in the upper reaches of the river, the vegetation is mixed, and more of them are vigorous weeds, Yang Li is really face blind to plants, looking at the pictures in the notebook, you can distinguish one or two, but in reality, lush, in his eyes are all grass.

"Here, this is it!" One of the clansmen plucked a plant and shouted.

"Houji, are you sure it's this grass?" Hayabusa couldn't remember the shape of the soybeans clearly, so everyone gathered around and took the straw from the hand of the man named Houji, and looked at it repeatedly, but it didn't feel like it.

Fortunately, Yang Jiao has a notebook that never stops powering, and after half a day of comparison with the picture, he finally determined that this is the soybean in the soybean, but now it has not been selected and bred, and it grows very stumbling, even if an acre of land is planted, it is estimated that there will not be many beans harvested.

But it all has to begin.

Yang Li immediately ordered all the beans he saw to be dug up and brought back, and told him not to pull them out directly, but to dig out the roots and brown soil below and put them in the prepared rattan basket, so that even if the initial seeds did not germinate successfully, the whole transplanted soybean plant would still survive and provide new seeds.

It seems that a test plot will also be set aside for similar experiments with new crops.

Thinking of this, Yang Li couldn't help but notice that the man named Hou Jiao, he was also a member of the battle in the river valley, his performance was not outstanding, and his combat effectiveness looked average, but the main reason why Falcon Wing brought him today was that he had shown a good ability in planting millet before.

He would advise people to loosen the soil from time to time, and the canals in the fields were dug by his people.

In the past, there was no concept of "private land" in the settlement, but with Yang Li's land division last night, this situation has completely changed, and the original piece of millet land in Hewan Land is still "public land", but it has become Yang Li's land.

And all the output of the private land that was distributed to the soldiers last night belongs to them.

Therefore, in the future, there will no longer be people who are enthusiastic about farming like Hou Zhu to call for everyone to improve agriculture, but what will happen instead?

Hou Zhu has his own slaves, and he will first order the slaves to experiment with his results, for example, if he wants to grow hybrid rice, then he doesn't have to ask his grandfather to tell his grandmother, "Compatriots, should we try to do this on the public field?"

There is no need for this, and Houzhu can directly plant a batch of hybrid rice on his own land to benefit first.

There are pros and cons to this situation, but from the current situation, the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages, after all, the intraspecific competition of human beings is so fierce, and sometimes appropriate competition can greatly promote the process of civilization, isn't it?

"Come here." Yang Li beckoned to the back.

Yang Li took out a handful of soybeans from his rattan basket to check, and compared with others, he found that the soybeans dug out by the latter were basically denser and fuller.

"Why are you choosing these?" Yang Li held a few soybeans in his hands, careful not to damage their leaves, and asked the back club.

A tangled look appeared on Hou's dark face, he scratched his ears and cheeks, and finally grinned: "Great chief, I don't know, I think they should be like this, because good things together, they may be better, and the spirits in the grass and trees must think the same way." ”

Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was afraid that words like "hybridization", "breeding", "breeding" and even "genes" would come out of Houji's mouth just now, so what Yang Li would do next would not be how to reuse him, but immediately took out a spear and stabbed him to death with a spear.

Just kidding, if there is that kind of advanced farming concept, either a traverser or an alien, Lao Yang and I will keep you to compete with me on the earth.

Fortunately, in Hou Zhu's mind, it is still the most primitive and simple world view.

The worldview related to animism, which is a simple understanding of the world by the entire human race in its infancy, is useful and can guide the development of the productive forces at this stage.

Yang Li ordered the team of the settlement to stop, found a clearing, pulled the rear pestle to sit down, and at the same time let Falcon Wing and the others move freely and reconnoiter nearby.

Hou Ji instinctively realized that the leader would tell him something very important, and in his eyes, Yang Jiao was still the messenger of the fire god, an existence beyond mortals.

Yang Li lined up the two soybeans together and looked into the eyes of the back pestle: "You can realize that good things can be better when put together, which is right, just like two strong saber-toothed tigers together, their offspring will be more powerful, and this is a certain trait in them that is brought to the offspring." ”

Now to explain "genes" and "heredity", primitive people must not understand, so Yang Li tried to explain it in a simple way.

He passed on the concept of breeding to the posterior.

Select the best ones from this batch of crops or livestock to breed, weed out those that do not meet the standards, and then breed them again from their offspring, and so on until you get the desired traits.

For example, after several generations of breeding, wheat will have fuller grains, and soybeans will have a higher protein content.

This concept brought Hou Ji into a whole new world, if he was only looking at the door of knowledge in a distant place before, and glimpsed the light inside, then what did he want to do in Yang Li?

Yang Jiao was simple and rude, pulled him directly to the door, kicked open the door, demolished the threshold, and pushed the primitive man directly into the door!

What's in the door?

The door is the agricultural knowledge that has fed hundreds of millions or even billions of human beings for tens of millions of years, vast as smoke, enough for him to be used for a lifetime, when Yang Li gave him a brief introduction to the knowledge of breeding, Hou Ji drew inferences from one another, and began to think about how to improve the varieties of millet.

But Yang told him that these are only a very small part of the knowledge of farming, and that I can teach you many more things, such as fertilization, pest control, rotation, and even compound farming.

Hou Zhu said Chief, I don't want to be that slave master anymore, take back the hard labor prisoners who were assigned to me last night, and I am willing to be a servant to you, as long as you teach me the knowledge of these gods on a regular basis.

"This kind of thinking needs to be corrected," Yang Jiao naturally would not agree, he put away the soybeans, let the people who had rested for a while regroup, and returned to the settlement, "All theoretical knowledge needs to be based on practice, don't look at us just farming, but there is more knowledge in it than fighting, and you, you have to go to the field yourself and listen to the sound of each plant, in order to really understand them." ”

Falcon Wing smiled: "Houji, I originally thought it was useless to study these grass and soil, but when Yang Jiao said so, I think that in the future, you alone can withstand our entire hunting team." ”

Yang Li laughed secretly in his heart, how could it be a hunting team, if a great god like Mr. Yuan arrived, at least it could be worthy of a military region, which was a cause that fed more than a billion people and benefited all mankind.
