Chapter 444: Preparation
The bell also needs to be tied to the bell man, and he is actually responsible for the matter between him and the Xiyi people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But the king has been defeated, and he has done it, and he has never regretted it.
"In this way, witch, you send someone to ask Gu Qian, I guess she is in Xiyi Mountain." Su Yang was very sure, if Gu Qian didn't come, the black witch would not have been able to run from Jianmu dryly, and he would not be able to change him if he was separated by a distance of several solar days.
"There is another thing, take care of your people, I don't want anyone to betray too much. Let your people elect an elder. "Giving the Xiyi elders a seat again is also the trend of the times, he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and he will naturally be ruthless in the future.
The shrine maiden was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes." ā
"Cheng, then let's do this first, let me know when there is news."
He then informed the elders of the matter, and asked the Twin Witches to explain to the Great Elder and the matter of the totem.
He has stockpiled materials and organized people to open and lay cement dams, so that at least there will be no mud under his feet in rainy days, and it will be convenient to clear snow in winter.
As long as the materials can keep up, each person can pave at least 50 square meters per day, or even a hundred square meters, and the speed of flying is just not as good as concrete, and maybe by the next day, moss will grow.
However, there is no environmental pollution now, and the corrosive power of rainwater is relatively small, so it should be able to last for a year and a half, and then it will be smeared and renovated.
"Hangai, have you seen it clearly, practice it as a spear."
He held a stick and pestle the ground and beat it so hard that it was almost level.
An acre of dam, about 8,000 catties of millet can be dried, no way, after harvesting, you have to rush time to dry, if you are unlucky, in case of rain, you even need to use a fan, blow all night, otherwise it is possible to germinate.
This year, more than 1,000 acres were planted, and Daocheng and Youxiong each accounted for half, and if according to last year's harvest, with his scientific methods, one mu could get about 90 catties of grain. This year, he estimates that the harvest in Daocheng will be higher than less, because it is well cared for, the sun is abundant, and it is closer to the water source.
If it is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu is 100 catties, and 1,000 mu is 100,000 catties of grain, then at least 123 acres of drying area is needed, or even one hectare, about 10,000 square meters, which is really not a small project.
But in terms of laying speed, it can be done in a day with a few hundred adults. Of course, considering the proficiency and the fact that the materials can't keep up, it will definitely take a lot more time, so start laying now, and when it's time to harvest, you will definitely be able to get it done.
There is a plan for drying, and the most convenient thing to harvest is the tooth sickle, which has a single purpose, but it is very powerful. If you use a tooth sickle, each person can harvest more than one acre of land per day, and if you replace it with a strong man with good physical strength, two acres is not a problem, that is, use, use a thousand people, and you can harvest all the rice in one day.
However, he could not forge a thousand toothed sickles, not even one, and this thing was like a comb, except that the teeth were dense, sharp, and curved, hence the name scythe.
In the case of bronze, even if the modeling is done well, it is difficult to water, and even if it is irrigated, Kaifeng is a big problem.
There is no way, it can only be replaced by foreign objects, the inside of the straw of rice is hollow, knotted, hard to pull, it is difficult to tear off, you must know that the straw can be used to knead into a rope, which shows the degree of toughness.
At the same time, the straw can not be wasted, so when harvesting, it is necessary to come from the bottom of the knife, one is thinner than the straw, when sowing a pit can be more than one millet, growing out is a pile, adults can not grasp it with one hand.
Last year, there were dozens of acres planted by Xiong's, with a lot of labor, and it was dried nearby after harvesting, which was convenient and simple.
This year is more troublesome, for this to prepare at least a thousand harvesting tools, he is also worried about this, if you want to be good, you must first sharpen your tools, often details determine success or failure.
Su Yang didn't think about these things until the end, he had already had people develop them before this, and finally decided to use a specially improved pottery, bent with teeth, although it took a lot of effort to harvest, but compared to other things, the efficiency was definitely greatly improved.
The key cost is low, it can be easily fired, and a few bamboo knives are prepared when harvesting.
The bamboo knife is actually very sharp, not with a hard texture of Nanzhu, but the selection of bamboo poles is relatively large, the bamboo fiber is not thick and easy to break, choose the outside of the bamboo piece plus a little bamboo white inside, the edge of the thin, to be very thin, can easily cut the skin.
It's just that bamboo knives are not durable, and fresh bamboo must be used, and once the moisture is lost, it will not be sharp. However, you can sharpen the bamboo knife in advance and then soak it in water to maintain the sharpness.
In the primitive period, many things could only be solved by primitive methods, and even as a modern person, it was impossible for him to improve the entire level of civilization in a short period of time.
Solve the harvesting tools, as well as transportation, at present, only baskets and baskets can be used, children and the elderly and the infirm use baskets, strong men use large baskets.
He wanted to separate the straw from the millet, but imagined that in the absence of electricity, it would be very difficult for either a foot-operated threshing machine or a drum threshing machine.
The structure of the former is complex, it is difficult to pour it out with bronze, even if it can be done, it takes too much time, a threshing machine, can only lay about a thousand catties of grain every day, he cannot build dozens or hundreds of units, bronze is not enough.
The latter is relatively simple, but in that case, the straw will be wasted, and rolling out will be waste grass.
So, it's not that he can't think of an easier way, it's that he can't do it, tragedy.
Back to the stupid method, the whole clan will be used to transport it together, and even the lime field will be stopped at that time, and more than 4,000 people will join in. Fortunately, it can be divided into two steps, first harvest the rice city, and then harvest the Xiong's, the light climate is different, the rice maturity date on both sides will be a few days apart, just take into account both sides, reasonable distribution.
He quickly planned the problems he might encounter during the harvest, and then went to the kiln, where the dragon kiln was already under construction.
Su Yang spent several days guiding the completion of the finish, this is just a small dragon kiln, with the experience of building kilns many times before, there should be no problems.
When the dragon kiln is almost finished, we are waiting to choose a good day to test the firing, and the first batch of lime dams over there will begin to be laid.
I saw that the lime river sand and some small stones were mixed together, mixed evenly with a rake, and then quickly put it into a half-open dustpan, transported to the paved position by picking the method, and then poured out.
If you want to make it dry quickly at night, without dew, and to prevent rain, you can wait until it is half dry and cover it with some straw, and finally remove the straw after drying.
In the process, of course, there is no shortage of problems, but fortunately, Su Yang is staring, and in the evening, looking at the results, it feels quite good.
After two days, he tested the hardness and durability of the lime floor, and it was okay, but it couldn't withstand the vigorous destruction.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed. (To be continued.) )
