Chapter 144: Spring Ploughing
This time, Wang Chuan and the others returned to the tribe, and the celebration of the merit was extremely grand. www.biquge.info Of course, the people of the tribe can't think of any too complicated etiquette. The bark of the trees that like to participate in this activity were also absent, so they built three fires nearly three meters high outside the wall. Gather everyone outside the wall, and set up all kinds of beast heads, which is considered grand. The three fires were asymmetrical, but they didn't notice the problem. Fortunately, there were only three fires, and the people who organized the fires obviously did not have the experience to build such a large fire, and they built the fires too close to the passage. There is a tendency to cook the people who are doing the work, and everyone just moves to the position of a little non-fire next to it.
This time, the credit is undoubtedly the greatest for the tiger. If nothing else, just the fact that he infiltrated the Fishman camp and put down hundreds of people is unmatched.
In addition to the tiger, what surprised Wang Chuan was that Bang Bula was the second in the merit of beheading level 13. And the strong bull is the third in the merit of killing the fishy department. The bark is also credited with the deer riding, which is ranked fifth.
Wang Chuan did not tell the credit as usual, but his mother asked him to stand beside him to accept everyone's bowing, indicating that his identity was different.
Mother didn't tie those horned beast teeth to her head this time. It's just that he wears a colorful tiger skin and carries a spear in his hand. Her dependence is all around her. There's a fire boy here, well, it's a river now, and you can go to the mountains and rivers at will, so what if you can come to a tribe of hundreds of people and thousands of people? If you fight the same way, you will not come back, and see who can bully our river tribe in the future.
What she was most satisfied with about this expedition was not how many enemies she had killed or how many prisoners she had brought back, but that she had heard that the fire girl had fallen in love with a little girl. To her regret, she was not able to bring the child back this time. I really don't know what to do with the migrants, but I have to follow the beasts everywhere on a good day? I hope they take a good look at the child, but don't get hurt. The next time the beast news comes, let the fire and Chuan go and leave the child behind. I heard that the child was more beautiful than Ling, but I don't know what it looks like......
This time, there were several battles in a row, killing nearly 300 enemies. The successive battles and successive victories have made the people of the tribe go through a test of iron and blood, which makes them look a little more heroic and confident, and they really look like veterans on the battlefield.
After these battles, I have gained a lot. In the drumming of the mountain god, there were four or five thousand catties of dried meat harvested. It also made the tribesmen realize that this was a new way of hunting.
In addition, a number of fur tents were seized from the Fish-Man camp. Although these things have been trampled by wild beasts a lot, they can still be used in winter after tidying up.
The most were still prisoners, and more than 120 prisoners were captured before and after. The Xiniu tribe died more than a dozen people in this war, and Wang Chuan gave them most of the Fishman clan. When they were imprisoned, some died, and in the end, the tribe still had more than seventy captives. But half of them are children.
These men had not had enough food during their captivity, and during the ceremony, they were each given a bowl of hot soup for them to watch, and they were tamed like quails.
More than 20 people died in the river tribe, and the losses were not small. But with these captives, the population increased instead of decreasing. It's almost about to break through the 200 mark.
Activities such as celebrating the merits and burying the martyrs were busy for several days. Then the tribe got back on track. At this time, there was no trace of ice and snow outside the tribe, and the grass had grown an inch. The wildflowers in the field bloomed overnight.
The tribe had just brought back a lot of meat, and the people who went out were leisurely, but Wang Chuan was too busy to occupy his feet.
Spring ploughing is about to begin. Prisoners of war need to be taken in with care. There are many meritorious people in the tribe, and the rewards have exceeded the point where the dagger can be sent, so they put forward various requirements, and Wang Chuan has to meet them one by one. For example, after asking for an axe as a reward, after seeing the house painted by Wang Chuan, he asked for a beautiful house. There are many others that need to be cooked, and there are many good tools.
Ranbula was already building a large wooden house with golden silk nanmu, but later the construction was stopped because of the war. After Wang Chuan looked at the house, he got a design plan for a small two-story building. The appearance is probably not much different from the villas of later generations. It's just that the interior design is simpler. The first floor is the living room, practice room, kitchen and separate toilet, and the second floor has only two rooms. After seeing it, Bang Bula liked it very much, and Wang Chuan was ready to change his wooden house and build such a house.
Of course, Wang Chuan is only responsible for teaching Lambla the technique of building this kind of house, and it is Lambra himself who contributes. At most, call someone to help him, and that's it. Wang Chuan had originally planned to get him to the tribe to become an engineer, but now that he has taught him this, he should have learned to build a house.
It also required a lot of timber to build such a house, which was just the right time to mobilize the prisoners of war as slaves to cut wood.
Accepting slaves is still the old way, brainwashing first, and then looking at the performance through a lot of labor. There was no fear of attrition in so many slaves at once, and the punishment was heavier than before. Indeed, there are those who do not obey the control, and there are those who cut off their heads.
Spring ploughing is Wang Chuan's current key work. You don't have to look at the solar terms or something, the temperature difference between the future and the present is so much, and it is not possible to specify it according to the local planting habits of the later generations. It is more reliable to look at the solar terms than to look at the length of the grass outside.
He sorted out the things that could be planted, and found that in half a year, there were still a lot of things that could be planted. The first thing to be planted is rice. Secondly, there are potatoes, perilla, gourds brought by Bihu, and jute brought back by the Vulcan tribe. Finally, if you can, you can transplant bamboo, mulberry wood for bows and arrows, cones, wild pears, and so on.
Fortunately, the surrounding woodland is well cultivated. Now just plant as it is. Of course, the tribesmen have no experience in planting, and all kinds of things have to be taught by themselves.
When the grass grows, there should be no problem with rice seedlings. Water is diverted from a creek that has resumed its flow to the cultivated field, and a small field is planted next to it to raise seedlings. Then plough a piece of land and plant seedlings. There is no need for this ancient thing, it is just a primitive tool used to turn the soil, although the plow is not made now, but a little paddy field is just opened, with a hoe.
Two catties of rice seeds, more than one acre of farmland should be fine. Let the people with great strength of the tribe first turn over the ground, clear out the roots of the trees, build ridges around them, soak them in water for a few days, and then turn them over again with a hoe. If there are too many lumps, you can also use the baby elephant to step on the ground. Baby elephants like to play anyway.
After the rice seedlings are raised, it will take some time before the seedlings can be planted. During this time, the seedlings can also be raised. Wang Chuan used the method of raising potato seedlings to raise potato seedlings. Cut the potatoes into small pieces, then put them in a sunny place, cover them with a layer of hay and water, or in a few days, these small pieces will grow tender seedlings.
Wang Chuan was going to plant these potatoes next to the roads everywhere, so he dug half-meter-deep pits one or two meters apart in these places, poured water and mud, poured a spoonful of manure, and then mixed them again, and put the young seedlings of the potatoes into the pit and carefully covered with soil.
