Chapter 271: A Great Harvest?

"Now from the left-hand side of the Youxiong clan, there are a total of eleven tribes' territories, all of which already belong to us. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

These areas, among which Dongshan, Wu, Chen, hills, and winter snow, have been replaced by six plots of land, and not long ago, the semi-forced fusion of five tribes has exceeded the area on this side of the Youxiong River, and if it continues to be vacant, it will be a waste of resources.

He is proposing it now, just thinking about how to use it, and at the same time, these areas can be directly connected to the hills, and border the Twilight Cloud and Sunset Alliance, which is very important.

After explaining the situation, all the elders present discussed a lot, but perhaps because there were too many people, they did not discuss any results.

Finally, Matsu asked, as usual, "Sue, what do you think should be done?" ”

"It's simple, in the middle of these tribes, create a new tribe." His previous idea was to rely on a large tribe to rule the mountain forest, but in the end he found that the transportation was not developed, and if he gathered thousands of people together, he couldn't manage it at all.

It is better to disperse first, and finally concentrate, this is also forced to be helpless, if more than 2,000 people are concentrated in Youxiong's family, they will not be able to survive. And the population will only be more next year!

"New tribes?" The elders began to talk again.

"It's not a new tribe, it's just a salt farm, and some people will be stationed there when the time comes. In this way, it will be a maximum of half a day from the hills to the new tribe, and a maximum of half a day from the Xiong clan in the past, so it will be much easier to get in touch. There is no urgency in this matter, this is a proposal first, and we will discuss it after the beginning of spring next year.

Now I would like to ask, how much do the elders know about the material reserves for the winter, and do they think that they can let the tribesmen survive the winter safely? "Wintering is the biggest problem in front of us, after all, there are thousands of people here, and the white spear is also waiting to be fed.

If you think about it seriously, you can't figure it out if you give the resources of the Xiong clan to the white spear for free. But if the white spear merges into Youxiong, and it's all his own people, then it's no problem.

He suddenly understood a little, why the Jiuli tribe would control the population, yes, it is control, Jiuli would rather trade with some small tribes around it than merge, I am afraid that he does not want to pay resources in vain to feed more people.

It's good to have Xiong's now, I'm afraid that in two years, there will be many people who oppose this practice, but by then the population will not be a problem.

Of course, even now, the Xiong clan is not unilaterally paying, because the people of the white spear will reclaim more land, and there will be more food next year, which can feed the clansmen on the Xiong clan's side.

When it comes to material reserves, the elders are also confused, it seems that it is time to teach arithmetic, there is no need to write it out, as long as you can calculate.

Early the next morning, he first looked at the harvested ears of rice, and the basket was also smart, because the ears of rice were one by one, so it was easy to dry, and then the grains were rubbed off after drying. Millet must be dried before it can be stored, otherwise it will become moldy and even tusk.

He has no objection to this, but the straw should also be harvested, and it is just right to use pottery shards, so he did not hesitate to smash some old clay pots and discarded pottery.

Harvesting is very tiring, often after half a day, I can't straighten my waist, who knows that the food on the plate is hard.

The cut straw is directly tied up and pestled on the ground, and after drying, it is stacked together to form a grain pile.

The dried straw is full of toughness, can be kneaded into rope, woven straw shoes, built a house, kept warm to sleep, and is also a good forage, as long as it is mixed with grain bran, cattle and horses especially love to eat. Now there are no horses, and livestock can be found to eat these straws.

At the same time, straw is also a good ignition material, when making a fire to make rice, it can quickly ignite the wooden stick, and the burned grass ash is also fertilizer, all of which are treasures. To exaggerate a little more, straw can be used to make paper, well, this is too technical.

At this moment, after he made arrangements, he probably circled two acres of land, one of which was planted according to the method he said at the beginning, and the other one was planted in the old way of hats, so as to compare the yield.

One acre of land is equal to an area of six hundred and sixty-six square meters, and he could not measure it accurately, so he made a wooden stick about two meters long and used it to calculate the rope, using the principle of rectangular area calculation, to roughly circle the range of one acre.

Now it seems useless to measure the area, but he can calculate the yield per mu, so that he can deduce how much area he needs to plant in order to feed his people.

"Do you understand, the men's team harvests the ears of rice and the stalks of rice here; Women are on the other side, your numbers are the same, I'm going to see who is faster and who does it better. The winner will be rewarded, and the slow one will be punished, but the reward will be very rich, a clay pot of rice. ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, but there is motivation with comparison, and after he gave the order, the men's and women's teams took action.

Don't look at the lack of an acre of land, it takes about ten people to harvest for half a day, or even longer, because the farm tools are not good, and the pottery shards are always not as good as the professional harvesting tooth sickle.

When the men and women were frantically harvesting, he officially checked the rice, and couldn't help frowning secretly, because this special code looked very bleak, there were no bunches of rice ears in the farmland in later generations, and the grains were not full enough, not to mention, there were many empty shells, or semi-empty shells. As well as insect plagues, some of them have only a few bunches of rice ears left.

Later, he learned that the rice brought by Feng Bo was carefully selected, which was like a sledgehammer, and I am afraid that he had guessed that the rice rate was more than sixty percent, and this wish was about to be disappointed.

Looking at this situation, it would be very good to have fifty percent of the rice, I'm afraid it's only more than forty percent, and I'm going to kneel.

Because the rice grains are relatively hard, in modern household threshing machines will generally be shelled twice before and after, in order to make white rice grains, the size of the plug is not so accurate, it will cause a lot of broken rice mixed in the chaff, which also causes the rice yield is not as high as professional.

In fact, it is better than a household threshing machine, because the hardness of the wooden stick is not enough to crush the rice, of course, this should control the strength and time, the weight of the wooden stick, etc., and it needs to go through many tests to get the best ratio.

Of course, he hopes to produce more rice, no matter what, the harvest is always joyful, and there is a rush all year round.

The harvesting people are full of energy, and the children also help to glew the ears of rice, not wasting every grain of grain, and even a large number of people stand on the hillside every day, driving birds to peck rice, a real-life version of the scarecrow.

He prepared three big back baskets on the side, but as time went by, the colder his heart became, how could he feel that one back basket was enough, it wouldn't be so bleak!

However, the truth once again hit him mercilessly, like a sledgehammer smashing into the central room, and his breath was stagnant.

The result came out, and the rice ear on the left hand side was not even filled with a back basket, which was a slap in the face. The right-hand side is a little better, but it is only full of a back basket, which is just a little pointed. Although it can be said that his cultivation method is more scientific, the harvest has increased.

But compared with what he expected, the gap is too far, he understands, hybrid rice can almost increase the yield of forty percent, he doesn't ask for anything 800 or 600 catties or anything, but there should be a yield of three or four hundred catties per mu.

But now, as soon as he stretched out his arms, he lifted the back basket, and think about it, with his arm strength, he can lift the yield of one acre, how miserable it is.

"Sue, a good harvest, a great harvest." Kasaa looked at the basket and was thrilled that the harvest had exceeded her expectations. (To be continued.) )
