Section 157 Conception of pigs

Some things are destined to be impossible to solve by normal methods, and what Tianhao can do at present is to send people to continue to search for sulfur, and at the same time increase the technological innovation in all aspects of Panshizhai.

Heiya and Tongbiao soon became friends.

In fact, in this matter, Tong Biao is more active than Hei Tooth. As the technical director of blacksmiths favored by Tianhao, Tong Biao's ability in forging is unquestionable. Hei Tooth's character is thick and fine, and he knows very well: choosing to take refuge in Panshi Village is certainly to find a way out for his compatriots, but it will not last long. Those who work hard can't get on the stage after all. If they want to gain the recognition of other ethnic groups, they must make more efforts.

Usually when he is fine, Blacktooth always leads some people to the blacksmith shop. They are very diligent and help the cattle blacksmiths with all kinds of things. Carrying water, transporting ore, building new sheds, removing garbage...... In short, all the dirty work was taken over by them, and there were no complaints.

Tianhao and Tong Biao saw everything in their eyes, especially Tong Biao, who gradually developed a good impression of Black Tooth, a thick and tall pig, and began to let him help strike iron, and the two often made appointments to drink, and the relationship became increasingly close, and even called them brothers.

The coldest season has passed, and thawing is beginning in many places. Tianhao led people to survey the river north of the village, and based on the observation records of recent years, he chose a good location on the river bank and decided to build a water conservancy workshop here.

It is a clever use of the forces of nature and a tribute to the wisdom of those who came before it.

For comprehensive consideration, most of the members of the engineering team this time chose pigs.

Black Tooth was very excited, he took off his thick animal skin robe, carried a reinforced concrete stake more than four meters long, stood in the shallow water area of the river bank waist-deep, put it down at the predetermined landing point, and let the people next to him hold it with both hands, he turned around and ran to the shore, picked up the huge iron hammer, climbed on the wooden shelf, and with indescribable excitement and strength, picked up the iron hammer and smashed it towards the end of the sharp pile.

Tianhao stood on the shore, looking at the pigs who were busy back and forth under the leadership of Black Tooth from a distance, and nodded approvingly: "They are still very good." ”

Tong Biao stood next to him and echoed with a smile: "Black Tooth is a very good person. I used to think that the pigs were savage and stupid, but they were very smart and very quick to learn. ”

Tianhao turned around, and his smile was a little strange: "I heard that you and Black Tooth often get together to drink?" ”

Tong Biao didn't understand what this question meant, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and the expression on his face suddenly became embarrassed: "That...... We only get together occasionally. ”

"Hehe, you're doing a good job." Tianhao smiled and said with relief: "You think too much, I didn't mean that...... In this way, I will ask Changfeng to send you two more jars of wine every month, and you should not only be close to Hei Zhi alone, but also the people around him, including other people who you think have good learning ability and are self-motivated, can be pulled into this small circle. ”

Tong Biao heard more rich content from these words, and he lowered his voice: "Ah Hao, what do you mean ......?"

"It will take time to really turn them into our people." Tianhao did not hide his intentions: "Panshi Village will soon be upgraded to a city, and more people will become residents here." If we want them to be with us, it's not enough to get people in. You're doing a good job, get them involved, and give them a reward if they can. Hehe...... This man must have hope to live. Make them feel that hard work can change their life situation, and that's true integration. ”

Tong Biao nodded again and again when he heard this, cocked his thumb, and said half-seriously and half-flatteringly: "No wonder Ah Hao can be the city lord." ”

"Let's build a hydro workshop first!" Tianhao raised his head and looked at the distance where people came and went, and said with a loud smile: "The women in the village don't have to grind in the future, they can do more things." ”

……

The first road built in Rock City connected the fishing grounds to the east.

The road is wide, flat and straight, and it takes a lot of effort, as usual, to pave asphalt. Tianhao used the practice of the civilized era, the middle of the road surface is slightly raised, and the left and right edges are arched, there are drainage grooves on the side of the road, the polished square stones are fixed with cement to form the road edge, and the outside is deliberately sprinkled with grass seeds, which can fix the soil and keep the road surface stable and not deformed for a long time.

The benefits of ground hardening are obvious, and the travel time between the stockade and the fishing grounds is greatly reduced by the animal-powered vehicles loaded with heavy loads. As the trees on both sides of the road have been cut down extensively, the number of guards traveling with the convoy has been decreasing.

This is the way this world is, as long as the number and strength of humans prevail, the beast must withdraw from this circle and be forced to reduce or change its original range of activities.

The weather is getting warmer, and the fish caught from the sea can no longer be frozen. People began to clean up the catch, sprinkle it with salt, and transport it back to the village to dry.

The dockyard has grown in size and currently has six slipways, two large, four and smaller. The most striking are two large slipways with a length of more than three hundred meters. This is a large-scale project that consumes time and manpower, but fortunately, a large number of pig people have joined in, providing enough labor.

Tianhao gave Zhenhui a new drawing.

Galen sailing was a benchmark in the age of sailing. Of course, with the current technical strength of the dockyard, whether this kind of sailboat can be built according to the map, Tianhao himself has no confidence. He can only draw patterns, and the specific research and exploration are handed over to Zhenhui and the craftsmen below, as for the specific time and cost, he himself is not very clear.

As long as you are willing to explore, there will always be a successful day.

Staying where you are and standing still will never talk about the future.

Tianhao was already mentally prepared for failure. No matter what problems arise when a new ship is launched, it is acceptable to him. He repeatedly told Zhenhui that the key was for sailors and craftsmen, especially the latter, to ensure their safety.

……

Yonggang adheres to his duties as a hunting captain.

According to Tianhao's latest instructions, the focus of the hunting team has shifted, no longer simply hunting wild beasts, but focusing on catching fanged pigs.

Only living creatures can be domesticated.

The hunting party has added 100 Pig Clansmen. Yonggang had always felt that having them as hunters, especially catching fanged pigs, might cause disgust among these pigs, but the reality showed that such an idea was only superfluous. The strong pigs dug traps in the mountains, set up ambushes, and in two weeks, they caught more than 40 fanged pigs in a row. They used ropes and sticks to secure their prey, hacksawed off the boar's sharp and hard tusks, and brought them down the mountain to pre-built pig farms, where they were kept in solitary confinement.

The pigsty that starts with large rocks is very strong, to which steel bars are added. This single beast "dormitory" is not large, and can only barely accommodate the fanged pig to turn around inside. They don't have enough distance to run, they can't move, and they have a short temperament and can only bang their foreheads against the wall, trying to collapse the outer wall and regain their freedom.

Hunger can change a person's perception and help them see the gap between ideals and reality. The beasts were no exception, for more than a week without feeding, and even the amount of water they drank was cut in half, and the poor captives became so disgraced that they no longer cried out, and lost the interest in desperately resisting by banging their heads against the wall.

Yongkang is the manager of the pig farm appointed by Tianhao. He had dozens of domesticated black howls brought in him, and through the bars of the pigsty made of thick steel bars, the black howls let out a scalp-tinging mad howl. In fact, they have not faded in their wildness, but they are only frightened by hunger and violence from their masters, and now the sight of fat and delicious fanged pigs immediately arouses a primitive craving for delicious food. If it weren't for the thick chains around their necks, they would have pounced, tearing their prey to pieces with their sharp claws, and drinking the sweet, fear-soaked blood of their prey.

Using the black howling wolf to take care of the fang-toothed pigs was Tianhao's idea. Yongkang remembered the young leader's advice: "Control those wolf dogs, only the frightened fanged pigs are the best pigs." Of course, it would be better if it could scare them silly. Only then will they eat well and sleep well. ”

Are there any pigs who are really scared silly?

Yongkang himself was not very aware of this kind of thing, but the effect was obvious, and the fang-toothed pigs were far less excited than when they were first caught, and they became very frightened, huddled in the corner of the pigsty and shivered. Especially those sows, who always keep their butts against the wall, like a stripped-naked little girl, stared at by a burly and arrogant strong man, afraid and helpless.

The next thing is logical: feed, they eat happily. The narrow pigsty limits mobility, and in addition to sleeping and being in a daze, the pigs whose fangs have been sawn off begin to lie down in the pen and think about life. They are not stupid, they are very smart, and after a long time, they find that the black howling wolf outside is just hideous, and there is a strong steel fence door to block it, and it cannot enter at all.

There is really only one secret to losing weight: keep your mouth shut and open your legs.

They are destined to gain weight, no matter how many colorful adventures they have experienced.

The mating of boars and sows takes a while. Yongkang faithfully carried out Tianhao's order: let them gain weight first and lose their fierce combat effectiveness. It's much easier to deal with a fat man covered in lazy flesh than it is to deal with a flexible and thin man.

The captured fang-toothed pigs finally resigned themselves to their fate.

Next, it is domesticated and mass-produced. Their fat subcutaneous fat is a delicacy, and no one dislikes fat in this era, which is one of the signs of a happy life.

But...... Are the pig people willing to eat pork?

This is a headache for Tianhao.

……

Guangsheng brought more than 100 men to Panshi Village. Among them was his son Guangtao.

Tianhao did not hide his secrets, and in a week, he took Guangsheng and his son to all corners of Panshi Village.

Guangsheng felt that it was an eye-opener.

It turns out that peat can be excavated in this way.

Getting food from the sea turned out to be so simple.

The steel and masonry are built in a wonderful way, and the sturdy towers are not at all as mysterious as you think.

Oh, my God! The people of Panshi Village actually domesticated the black howling wolf as livestock, and they also raised pigs, chickens, and deer......

Guangsheng didn't come to Panshizhai very often, and he had never paid attention to these things before. On the one hand, it is the arrogance and dignity of being the leader of the village, and on the other hand, it is the fixed thinking: he has always felt that grain is the crops that grow in the ground, and it depends on God's arrangement to harvest more and less. But now, Tianhao seriously taught him a few lessons, it turned out that if the crops want to grow well, there is still so much knowledge, you have to collect manure to make fertilizer, you have to pay attention to the sun and moisture, and you have to use a variety of methods to stimulate the enthusiasm of grain growers......

These things are very simple to put it bluntly, but if they are concentrated in a village, they must pay great hardships.

"Ah Hao, it's not easy for you!" Guangsheng, who was happy and convinced, took Tianhao's hand and sighed for a long time: "I used to think you were lucky, but now I understand that I am really inferior to you." No wonder Fu Song has been the leader of Panshi Village for so many years, and the people here have lived a good life since you came up. ”

Tianhao smiled modestly: "Actually, the conditions of Pinglin Village are very good, Brother Guangsheng, you go back this time and do what I taught you, and then build the road between our two villages, it will definitely get better and better in the future." ”

"I've got people doing the road construction. The other is Jianping......" said, Guangsheng lowered his voice: "I heard that you asked your eldest brother to take over Jianping's position and be the leader of Zhangpu Village?" ”

"Yes." There is no need to deny this kind of thing, it will be made public sooner or later anyway. Tianhao said frankly: "My eldest brother went to Leijiao City to explain the situation to the king, and when he came back, he went to Zhangpu Village to complete the handover procedures." ”

Guangsheng asked tentatively: "Ah Hao, why don't you let Zhangpu Zhai come over?" If there are more people, things will be easier to do! ”

Tianhao smiled, bent down, and casually drew three circles on the ground: "This is Panshi Village, this is Pinglin Village, and this is Zhangpu Village." You see, as long as you connect the three stockades, it is a big triangle. This means that the inner area in the middle belongs to our common sphere of influence, and all the property is jointly developed by us. Timber, ore, peat, grain...... We can get a lot of things. But if it's just a point, whether it's Zhangpu Village or Panshi Village, it's too far away and you have to walk for a long time. ”

"In addition, it is the influence of each village on the surrounding area." Tianhao emphasized the circle on behalf of Pinglin Village: "Take Brother Guangsheng's Pinglin Village as an example, you can get more benefits to the periphery." As long as you run it well, more people will join your village. When the time comes, Pinglin Village will become Pinglin City. ”

Guangtao listened very excitedly beside him, his heart was fascinated, his face was full of excitement, he touched Guangsheng lightly with his elbow, and his eyes were bright with surprise: "Daddy, Ah Hao is right, he said it so well!" ”

A frenzy that has never been felt before fermented in Guangsheng's heart.

Hirabayashi City?

This was something that was unthinkable before.

But now, Guangsheng feels that this kind of thing is very practical, it can be seen and touched.

Far from it, Panshizhai is the best example.
