There was not much time left before the spring festival, so the clansmen of the expedition hurriedly packed their bags and set off early the next morning. All the clansmen put down their work and came to see off the expedition, and the open space at the entrance of the tribe was bustling.

Last time, the expedition led by Changshan was mainly based on stone tools, but this time the expedition team had a major mission and carried a lot of things, so the team members were well armed.

More than a dozen clansmen, plus more than thirty slaves, each with a bronze spear, a copper shield, four copper javelins, and a pot of copper arrows, this is standard. In addition, if there are any special requirements, we will try to meet them. And the dozen or so clansmen each had a set of bronze armor, which they wore inside their clothes, and they could not leave their bodies day and night.

A team of more than 50 people, escorted by six frame cars. A car is loaded with a bronze tripod weighing a thousand catties of holy fire totem, and a car is loaded with all glazed products, each of which has a matching exquisite wooden box. The other three cars are all bronze products, what swords, guns, swords, halberds, pots and pans, copper needles, copper mirrors, bronze lamps, etc., etc., almost all the things produced by Jianlu have been moved. It can be said that in order to get back the right to use the totem, the Banpo dolphin has gone bankrupt.

Tang Ge pinched his teeth in distress, and he was thinking about how many things he could get in exchange if these things were handed over to the old sickle of Erhugou. After the calculation was clear, Tang Ge almost had a myocardial infarction, and the people of this clan still explained to Lao Hei vigorously, if there were not enough things, they would quickly ask people to bring the letter back, and then send someone to send it to them.

Xiao Ya rode on a bareback horse, waving to his husband in high spirits, without the sadness of being about to separate, which made Xiao Dong, who was originally a little sad, not embarrassed. On the other side, Changshan and Xue'er hugged each other, their ears and temples grinding, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Seeing that it was not too early, the fat witch let people light a bonfire, personally prayed for the blessings of the traveling clansmen, and after jumping up and down as usual, the far-traveling team set off in the expectant eyes of the clansmen.

After the expedition was gone, the atmosphere of the whole tribe changed. The tribesmen began to become sullen, suffering from gains and losses, and also developed the habit of looking into the distance from the tribe's mouth. Although Tang Ge is not among them, he is also quite affected.

In this strange atmosphere, Tang Ge finally ushered in his first spring in the primitive society.

The wasteland when the spring flowers are in full bloom is the most beautiful. All kinds of trees compete to spit green in this season of revival, and the early-maturing fruits and vegetables bloom thousands of purple and red flowers, standing at the highest place of the tribe, at a glance, the heaven and earth are red and white, yellow and blue, purple and green, and the branches and leaves are reflected in it, like a soft carpet that covers the sky. This kind of beautiful scenery, just by looking at it, can make people suffocate the turbidity of the whole winter to sweep away, as if the whole person with the thriving things, become vigorous and refreshed.

Originally, every spring, there would also be a spring festival for Banpo dolphins. But now that there is hope to welcome back the sacred fire totem, it is no longer possible to just light a bonfire as before, so the day of the spring festival has been postponed again and again, and it is finally decided that no matter whether the mission of the traveling party can be achieved or not, the spring festival can only be held after they return.

Tang Ge is indifferent to the affairs of ghosts and gods, he has his own beliefs, so in his opinion, all other worship behaviors are superstitious and ignorant. It's paradoxical, but it's true. In the world he lived in in the previous life, all the denominations had this attitude towards people of other faiths.

Spring is the season for sowing. From the time the snow melted, Tang Ge urged the slaves to plough the land over and over again. Now, not to mention the weeds in those fields, not even the larger rocks can be found.

The reason why Tang Ge is so concerned about growing crops is because of his grand plan: to build a city and let all the people he like live happily in it.

Tang Ge's plan was very difficult, and the most basic point was that if you wanted to build a city, you needed a lot of labor. With the financial resources of Banpo Dolphin, it is easy to buy a large number of slaves. The real challenge is the availability of food.

In the wasteland, agriculture is very backward, and it can even be said that there is almost no agriculture. The food supply depended on gathering and hunting, and as a result, the population of the tribe was limited to the output of the land, which is why even the old tribes in the wasteland, such as Niutou and Heyang, had only a pitiful four or five hundred people.

If you want the population to be easy to do, there are many slaves in Zhongzhou, but with the population, food is hard to find, and there is no sufficient food supply, even if you buy back more people, it is meaningless.

In Tang Ge's view, the fertile primeval soil in the wasteland is an inexhaustible source of food. The wasteland is so big, if it can be fully developed, it is estimated that millions of people will not be able to fill it, but now, the entire wasteland is estimated to be less than 10,000 people. This is a direct manifestation of ignorance and ignorance.

If the Banpo dolphin can take the lead in entering the agricultural and pastoral society, it will be able to grasp a large number of food resources, and correspondingly, the population will inevitably have an explosive growth. At that time, if you want people, money, and food, the whole wasteland, it's not all Banpo dolphins who have the final say. What Heyang, what bull's head, it is estimated that it is not enough for a half-slope dolphin to twist a finger. What's more, as fine grains, crops are easier to absorb and digest, which is of great benefit to people's health and even longevity, even if it is only for the sake of the health of the clan and themselves, planting crops must also be put on the agenda.

Now, Banpo Dolphin has finally achieved the point of not being short of money. It can be said that as long as it is circulating in the market and has a price, there are as many as there are, and Banpo dolphins can buy as much as they want. What made Tang Ge distressed was that there were not so many materials on the market for them to buy. In the case of grain, Banpo dolphins have cultivated a lot of land, but the seeds are far from enough.

Take wheat as an example, according to Tang Ge's experience, one mu of wheat, if you sow it precisely, you only need 20 catties of seeds, if you plant too densely, it will affect the yield, and it is also prone to lodging, pests and diseases. However, if too little is sown, it is easy to lack seedlings and break the seedlings, which will still affect the growth of wheat. In this regard, Tang Ge can be said to be experienced, and he has thrown off more than ten streets of primitive people.

One acre of land needs 20 catties of wheat seeds, 100 acres of land is 2,000 catties, 100 acres of land or even 1,000 acres of land, and the manpower of Banpo dolphins can be easily leveled out, but wheat seeds are nowhere to be found. In the bazaar, the Banpo dolphin twice wrapped all the grain of the caravan from afar, but only bought more than 1,000 catties, and this is still all kinds of food. Now that I am thrifty, I only have more than 1,000 catties of grain left as seed reserves. This thing is not enough to see in front of the huge population base of Banpo dolphin.

The so-called spring planting a grain of millet, autumn harvest 10,000 seeds. Taking wheat as an example, sowing one acre of land in winter, without lack of water, fertilizer, and pests, the yield per mu is about 1,000 catties. If the land moisture is not good, the fertility is low, the yield is between 500 catties and 800 catties, and the harvest of spring sowing is a little lower than that of winter sowing, which is still the data of Tang Ge's previous life planting selected excellent wheat seeds.

Now the land that has been opened up is very strong, and the original soil on the wasteland almost does not need to consider fertilization, and irrigation is not a problem, but the wheat seeds are not very good, which will directly affect the harvest, if you compromise, Tang Ge estimates that the yield of wheat per mu is about 400 to 500 catties. The harvest is twenty-five times that of the wheat seed.

Banpo dolphin has more than 300 catties of wheat seeds, all planted this spring, the final harvest is only about 7,000 catties, more than 1,000 catties of seeds of Banpo dolphin are all planted, the harvest is about 20,000 catties of grain, this is still carefully cared for when planting, and the planting is correct, optimistic estimate.

20,000 catties of grain is a lot, but if the current population base of the tribe is used, the staple food only eats grain crops, which is only enough for half a year. If Tang Ge wants to build a city, he needs a large number of people, and it is unrealistic for these people to rely on hunting and gathering for food, and the only way Tang Ge can think of is planting. But judging from the current situation, if you want to build a city, but for food, it will take two to three years to prepare before you can reach the scale of supplying a large number of people, and for Tang Ge, two or three years is too long.

Fortunately, he had entrusted the old sickle of the Erhugou long-distance caravan, asking him to buy a large amount of grain, livestock, salt, etc., and now, he can only hope that the old sickle's caravan can arrive in time and not miss the spring ploughing. Although there is no news about Lao Kao's caravan, the movement of clearing the wasteland has not stopped, after all, only if you are prepared, you will not be in trouble.

Although most people will be suspicious of what Tang Ge said, no need to hunt and gather, and there will be endless food in the land every day at the door of the house, but Tang Ge has made a lot of novelties, and so far, he has not missed it, and the clansmen will be tossed by him, and they will just see the results when the time comes. Anyway, with the strength of Banpo dolphin, it can also be tossed.

In these years, communication and transportation are almost non-existent, so after the long-distance team left, there has been no news. Although the tribesmen are worried, they still have to live their lives. Soon, the full moon will be full again, and the first market of the year will begin.

Tang Ge was anxious about the matter of grain planting, so he took people to wait at the place agreed with the Erhugou caravan early. It is uncertain whether the old sickle of Erhugou in the market can come this time, but Tang Ge still decided to bring people to wait here. As the saying goes, if a person is wrong for a day, and a person is wrong for a year, the sowing of seeds cannot be delayed at all, and if the old sickle arrives, he will let people send the grain back as soon as possible, and start sowing seeds immediately. At this time, it is early spring, and sowing is not delayed, if it is a little later, some crops with too long growth period can not be planted.

PS: The first volume is finally over.,Out of the second volume begins.,The protagonist will start a new life.,And why can I finally check the number of chapters every day without so much work.。 In addition, because of the heavy work recently, it has been extremely hard, and I have lost my inspiration for writing. Yesterday I was on fire.,Thinking that it won't be updated at night.,But if you don't update.,I'm really sorry for everyone's collection.。 Although there are few readers of this book, the author has always written seriously and repaid everyone with his practical actions. So I thought about it again and again, but then I still coded a chapter head-on, and I also tried my best to solve it, so I didn't bring my mood to the text. When the code was finally good, I found out that the network was disconnected at home. In desperation, I can only send it out when I bring my computer to work today. It may have been too hard lately, I've been in a very irritable mood, very irritable, and writing has been extremely difficult, but no matter what, I'll try to finish the book as much as possible. Finally, thank you again for your continued support of the author, who bows to you here.
