On the hillside of the tribe, there is a very flat and open ground, which is all covered with broken bricks and cement by the tribe. Now it is full of people, and a platform above the plane has been built under the mountain. Li Yue and others all appeared on it.

This was the first collective meeting presided over by Li Yue after he became a sacrifice, and looking at the scene of all the people gathered together, he was a little nervous for some reason.

"Everyone is quiet" As soon as Li Yue's voice came out, the people below all ended chatting together and looked at the front desk quietly.

"Today, we called everyone out together to discuss the matter of spring ploughing, and then those who are willing to pick sorghum will come to the stage" In the past few days, it can be seen that the snow on the ground is decreasing, and the stream in the back mountain has also begun to flow, which means that the land can be cleared.

But he is the only one who understands planting, so he has to catch some people to train him, otherwise this land reclamation will be in chaos.

When the clansmen below heard this, no matter what Li Yue was going to do next, they immediately rushed to the stage. They all uphold the belief that they will do whatever the priest tells them to do, and what the priest says to do must be a great good thing! Follow the sacrifice, have meat to eat and a house to live in!

"Hey, stop, stop! Listen to me before you come! Li Yue hurriedly shouted to stop the sprint of the large army, and the request he wanted was not something to be grasped casually.

"Sacrifice to your lordship, I can do it!" The tribesmen were afraid of being preempted by others, so they boasted about Haikou one by one.

"Okay, let's talk about it, go back first, you can come back after I'm done!"

Tribesmen, you look at me, and I see your appointment fade back.

"I have three requirements, the first is that in the next 5 days, I must learn the words, numbers, etc. that I teach, the second is that I must memorize the key points of planting seeds, and the third is that I must run fast!"

Clansmen, you look at me, I look at you, except for the first and second parts, who knows what it is, then the third who doesn't know, immediately rushed to the platform, some even ran to the backs of others to occupy the quota, and the rest of the people did the same, until the platform couldn't stand anymore.

Li Yue smiled, looking at this group of people who didn't know the height of the sky and didn't know how learning made people "happy".

Seeing this, Jiang Zi on the side twitched the corner of his mouth rarely. Lu Ying sighed when she saw her sister in the crowd, and the warp on the side turned from loveless at the beginning to schadenfreude later. Only Shi Li stood calmly.

Yes, regarding the study part, Li Yue will set a time every day to teach the 4 leaders familiar numbers and words. At present, he has mastered about 500 words, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and unit conversion, and as Li Yue's first disciple, Qiao also added the basic physics, and agriculture. It can be said that he lives in dire straits every day, and even his favorite weapon can't comfort him, and when he sees those, he remembers all kinds of elements, and even sleeps for fear that Li Yue will rush into the house and ask him if he can't carry it.

So, people, you are too conceited—

There were about 200 people who signed up at the beginning, but as soon as the time came in 5 days, there were only about 30 people who passed the first two levels, Li Yue wondered, he was obviously not very demanding, why was he eliminated so much? This was accidentally heard by Lu Ying, and her feet were almost broken.

Li Yue did not play in person during the 5 days of teaching, but was substituted by the 4 leaders, and when he saw the 4 leaders happy every day, he knew that they were very responsible, and he didn't need him.

The 4 leaders who were dumped in the mess said, no, no, they don't want to be responsible! Or you come!

Li Yue collected should be spring wheat, spring wheat growth cycle is much shorter than winter wheat, planted in March and April every spring, harvested in July and August in summer, if you rush a little, you can try to plant winter wheat, after harvesting, it will be dried and then planted, and it will mature in April ~ May next year.

"You learned theoretical knowledge before, now you have to put it into practice" Li Yue pulled the members into the wasteland where they planned to grow wheat, and the first part was that they needed to turn the soil into suitable cultivation land. Each was armed with a hoe and sickle.

"Each person gets a 10-square-meter plot of land and integrates the suitable specifications of wheat in 3 hours"

In the Agricultural Research Institute, he worked on each of his crop experimental fields, and only in this way could he observe the growth pattern that the crops preferred.

In later generations, the cultivated land area was reduced and the demand for human beings increased, so they had to study more different foods, modify their habits, and establish different growth patterns in order to better adapt the crops to the living environment. and various counseling methods to observe, in order to draw conclusions.

In fact, the best breeding ground for crops is soil.

And now what he's doing is making the hotbed of wheat more suitable for it.

Now the water resources are too far away, Li Yue chooses to use dry land. For land reclamation, you must first remove and uproot the plants that grow on it, and dig out the small stones inside.

The first time you need to revert the ground to a depth of 30-40 cm, fully expose the soil below to the sun, and kill all kinds of insects hidden inside, and the best time to bask in the sun is about 4-5 days. Then start refining the fluffy soil and basking in the sun again for about 2 days.

The requirements of land preparation require that the soil layer is not real, the upper is not empty, and each place is the same height, and then dig out the ditch, which is conducive to the germination of wheat seedlings.

"Let's go!" Li Yue gave an order. Everyone lined up and began to open up the wasteland.

Men are not as careful as women in the step of clearing the wasteland, and there are still a lot of gravel and plant roots in the land.

Most people meet the requirements in the fine cultivation of the land, but it is the state of the upper and lower ground, because it is now after the snow, the soil is moist and understandable, but it is a little unsatisfactory in the final ditch, everyone is not straight.

Li Yue touched his chin and thought for a while, the big deal was to use limestone to construct a line when the time came.

"You're not qualified! You're also unqualified, you're qualified! - "As soon as the 3 hours arrived, Li Yue inspected the land preparation situation one by one, and on the whole, he was still familiar with the concept of farming, but his hands-on ability was unsatisfactory.

Originally, I planned to punish those who were unqualified, but now it seems that forget it, I will spare them the first time.

The people of the field were still depressed about themselves, and they had no idea that they had escaped.

"You all did a good job today, but the next time you don't qualify, you will pick up the dung for me!"

Clansmen: ??? What the! If you are not qualified, you have to pick up dung! Is it the stinking dung pit that is close to 3 meters? What a cruel punishment this is!

"Someone! Protect the priests! Suddenly, several warriors surrounded Li Yue, and the rest of the warriors stepped forward and took out the knife in their hands! Oh - no knife with him, take out the hoe and sickle in his hand.

"What people! Come out! ”

Li Yue was surrounded in the middle, and through the gap, Li Yue saw two "primitive people" emerge, one of whom seemed to be unstable.

"Just these two?" One warrior asked.

The clansmen who began to unconsciously rush to the side came back and nodded at him.

What's going on, there are only two people in the middle of winter, and it stands to reason that there are no tribes around the 5-day journey nearby. Is it from further afield?

"Say, you belong to that tribe, what are you doing here!"

"Our tribe has been wiped out, and now we are just wandering tourists," said the man with a wounded leg, somewhat desolately. The man holding him nodded as well.

"Can your tribe contain tourists?" The man with the wounded leg stepped forward and looked at them with hope in his eyes.

"Can two tourists go this far?" The Warriors were skeptical.

"No, we were separated from our clansmen, and now it's just us two brothers, if you don't contain us, I may be the next one to die," the man couldn't help but sweep his injured leg uncontrollably.

The warriors looked suspiciously, he was from the Fire Tribe, and he also sympathized with the extermination, but he couldn't make up his mind about taking in the tourists.

At this time, out of the crowd surrounding Li Yue, a clansman attached to the voice of the warrior who was talking.

"Come with us," the warrior said to Huan and Chiba, who were still pretending to be pitiful.

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

Huan carried Chiba on his back and followed them all the way back to the tribe. Chiba, who was lying on Huan's body, looked at Li Yue's clothes, and the weapons in their hands? It was a weapon he had never seen before, and they were a little confused about what it was for.

What do you do with a weapon and dig out a pile of dirt? Interestingly, this tribe may surprise him differently.

Back to the Ji tribe, sitting in the conference room, Chiba and Huan sat and looked at each other, even the two who enjoyed the best treatment in the west also expressed their amazement at the Ji tribe.

At first glance, it was the watchtower they were interested in. There are actually people on it, it is estimated that they are people who patrol and defend the tribe, but I don't know how they got up, could it be that the warriors of this tribe are more powerful than the great warriors in the west?

Passing around the area, you enter the tribe, step on the flat, solid ground, and look up at the large number of square houses.

And the fine arrangement in the house, the pottery bowl in the hand, etc., all show that this tribe is rich and extraordinary, and whatever they think is not in the powerful west.

If he could have such a tribe, then the decision he wanted to implement would not be easily completed?

Li Yue secretly observed Chiba and Huan all the way, and it can be seen from their conversation and demeanor that these two people must be superiors, and their lives must be rich, so there is an element of lying, but I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false.

"Field, wait a minute, you and Shi Li and they will go and see the two new arrivals"

The field is the reserve leader of the Fire Tribe, but he joined the Ji tribe in a hurry before the fire leader died, so it won't be over, otherwise the Ji tribe will also have 5 leaders.

And the reason why he came to the scene was that if it was a small tribe nearby, it would definitely come to exchange salt, and for the two sides in high positions, they should have had the opportunity to see or hear about it. In this way, it will be very easy to distinguish whether the other party is telling the truth and whether it is false.

"Lord Sacrifice, is there anything wrong with those two?" After joining the Ji tribe, he learned that the original sacrifice was also a child picked up from outside, and he thought that the sacrifice would directly accept visitors.

"People are different, and now our tribe is developing too fast, it will inevitably attract wolves, tigers and leopards. Not to mention that we are not yet capable of dealing with these people."

"I understand, I'll go" The scene paused for a moment, turned around and walked out of Li Yue's room.

Li Yue felt that it was better for him not to see him in person, although the man with the leg injury was a sunny and cheerful person on his face, but his intuition told Li Yue that he was not the person he showed on the surface, and he might be more cunning than Jiang Zi!

Jiang Zi: ?? What's wrong with me?

Li Yue: How are you?! You pull my apprentice to fall in love every day (in fact, research weapons)!

No matter what, Li Yue now has to call the 32 administrators together to sort the wheat seeds.

Now the weather is noticeably warmer, and in just one morning, the snow on the ground has melted. So take advantage of this time to take out all the seeds and prepare for the seedlings.

Last year, they brought back all the wheat from the mountains and what they could collect, and there were only 3 large vats, estimated to be only about 1,000 catties, including a lot of wheat straw and mud. It's thankful to be able to sort out 700 pounds.

In addition to wheat, Li Yue also took out a few corns from a little girl before. Although the long ones are sparse, there is still a big bowl of corn kernels when they are all taken down, and after serving, a bowl of corn will become hundreds of catties.

Cooking indispensable peppers, wild garlic, wild ginger people can collect a lot.

And the pumpkin seeds he went to collect. Taro, these must be put into the soil first. As for the beans and fire spoons collected later, they will be planted when the weather is warmer.

"There are 32 of you now, each of you will lead 20 people to open up the wasteland together, and we need to open up 1,000 acres of land!"

Today, Li Yue put all the members of the clan, except for the young clansmen who could not move around and the clansmen who were patrolling, stood on the vast mountain land and announced that the operation of clearing the wasteland would begin now.

"Are you ready?" Li Yue said loudly.

"Ready!" The people are passionate!

"Let's go!" With Li Yue's voice, all the people hugged to the ground, the woman who cut the vegetation walked in front, the man who dug the soil walked in the middle, and the children and the old man who shook the rhizomes and small stones in the mud walked last.

Because the tribe has no cattle and horses, the entire land reclamation relies on people to hoe and hoe hard.

Each administrator took the lead, demonstrated and guided, etc., and the whole thing was carried out in an orderly manner, and all the staff accelerated their afterburner, and after a while, they took off their clothes in a hot manner, and threw off their arms, which was bound to make this land full of their food as soon as possible.

For this reason, everyone even saves time to drink water, Li Yue disagrees with this, and if he is thirsty, he will be sent by a child.

At noon, the food was delivered from the canteen, and the clansmen worked in the fields all day, and no one shouted tired, and there was no complaint, and they all encouraged themselves with a hoe if they wanted to eat well.

was busy until the west mountain of Rilu, and then dragged his tired body back to the tribe with farm tools. The next day, before dawn, I consciously finished breakfast and set off, and then repeated the same labor as yesterday.

After being busy for more than 20 days, Li Yue's basic number of acres was completed, and then part of it went to the river to dig a ditch. Bringing the water over, the men began to pick up manure to make fertilizer to prepare the seedlings, while the children transplanted the wild vegetables in the field outside, and the rest of the tribe continued to open up the land.

Li Yue followed a team of warriors to the winter fishing place again, and many warriors also lamented how many fish he caught here.

Now there is no ice on the surface of the river, and the sparkling scales on the ripples of the light hide the power of the surging water under the river and devouring the earth. Li Yue is well aware of the power of nature's temper, and he should not be careless.

Fortunately, the river hangs below the ground, and there are many large trees on both sides of the river that act as dams. Even if the water loses its temper, it will have to be a big deal to drown.

But it also brought a certain degree of difficulty to Li Yue's diversion of water, according to this height in the future generations to press a water pump, now, you have to make a water wheel.

Li Yueda looked at the height of the river to the water, and asked someone to bring the carpenters and tools from the tribe, and he had to make a waterwheel on the spot.

In the past, the waterwheels made by the ancients with great effort have become children's hands-on toys in later generations, which shows that the principle is simple, but the large waterwheels are relatively laborious.

Li Yue first asked people to cut down a few big trees in the distance, set them for backup, and wait for the carpenter to come with a saw to make a waterwheel, during this waiting period, Li Yue set the simple composition of the waterwheel and the required height and length, and then dug a pit with his clan to store water in the water.

Waiting for the carpenters to come over and listen to Li Yue talk about the role of the waterwheel, everyone was as excited as meeting a beloved, it turned out that there was a way to realize the automatic water function without manpower, and the carpenters were gearing up and ready to do a big job!

9 carpenters and 10 warriors with the help. It took 3 days to build this huge waterwheel.

After Li Yue fixed the waterwheel with cement, as the waterwheel also rotated, a stream of water was successfully transported to the reservoir. The carpenters and the warriors are honored with knowledge.

Slowly, a steady stream of water flowed through the canals into the reservoirs of each field, and then followed the ditches to every piece of land.

At this point, wheat and cotton seeds were planted in the field.

Different from land reclamation, land preparation requires a certain standard, so there are all kinds of angry and corrupt voices in the field, and those managers look at the unqualified land preparation and scold and jump to their feet. People are about to be lifted up to heaven.

"Be careful, this tooth rake must be evenly forced, otherwise you won't be able to get some big dirt!" The manager pulls a rope on his back, hooks an iron rake with a width of 1.5 meters behind him, and the person behind is responsible for pressing the rake hard to ensure that the rake can evenly plow large pieces of soil.

It's a pity that the people behind have been heavy and light, and the administrator pulling the rake feels that the direction is off.

"Huh? I'm even, or I'll pull it? You're going to get this? "Warriors are used to weapons, so the unconscious right hand is harder than the left.

"Okay!" The two swapped places.

There are also many problems for people who walk behind and make the soil fine again.

"Pig, you have to be like me, dig this soil until it is fluffy! Otherwise, the wheat will not come out! ”

"But I dug it loose!" The scolded person is still confused.

"Watch me do it!" No way, the manager will demonstrate it again.

"Oh my God, I've told you, the seeds should be sown at an interval of 10 centimeters!" They are the team responsible for sowing seeds, and Li Yue has also repeatedly emphasized the distance of seeds.

"How long is 10 centimeters?" Forgive him for not taking Li Yue's class.

"A palm long! I just said it! "There are a lot of old people in the team led by Lu Yin, and they really can't say anything about the old people, so they can only persuade slowly, and sometimes they really can't bear it!

"You are planting cotton seeds, not wheat over there, cotton needs to dig small holes and put it in, remember, the seeds are controlled at 3 to 4, otherwise we will not have enough land!"

"Oh oh okay, I forgot"

The whole sowing process was in a hurry, and there was no gossip. Also pay attention to your feet, the slightest inattention of the clansmen will step on the seeds. Fortunately, in the end, I became more and more proficient, and the sowing was successfully completed.

Those transplanted wild vegetable seedlings have strong vitality and can be brought back to life after only one watering. These wild vegetables are also served as carefully as the wheat.

The medicinal herbs that Li Yue had collected before were planted next to the wild vegetables.

Chili peppers, wild garlic, and wild ginger dominate one side, and the pepper trees transplanted from the jungle are planted on the edge of the field.

When all the wheat and cotton fell to the ground, Li Yue's corn seedlings also popped up in the soil manure balls. One by one, they were carried out of the house and landed in the land that belonged to them.

For the water that was drained, Li Yue used a lot of bamboo to supply water to each field with different water needs. to create a suitable amount of water for the growth of the crop.

The land is now divided into several large blocks. The largest and most abundant water resources are wheat fields, followed by some wild vegetable fields and taro fields, and the pumpkin fields are somewhat different and have very large shelves on them. Pumpkins that climb vines and bear fruit will produce larger, better, and more fruitful pumpkins than those that cover the ground, and are easier to pick.

During the time that the rest of the people continued to open the wasteland, the seeds sown germinated one after another.

Green life appeared in the brown earth.

Li Yue squatted in front of the malt to check the growth of the malt, at present, the growth length and condition of each bud are relatively good, and there is no phenomenon of no seedlings, which shows that the seeds sorted in the first part are good, the insects in the land in the second step can be removed, and the agricultural fertilizer in the third step is good. In order to make these wheat seedlings so healthy.

There are not many weeds in the field, which is really thanks to the hard work of the children to pull the weeds every day.

For this wheat field, the people of the whole clan take it as seriously as Li Yue, and in the first few days of planting, they began to fear that the small animals in the vicinity would come in to find wheat seeds to eat, or destroy them, so there was no need for Li Yue to say that all the people would automatically stay and keep vigil.

The seeds also live up to their careful care, growing better and better day by day, and now in addition to future pests and diseases, it is the problem of soil fertilizer.

The big dung pit in the tribe had been almost picked, and Li Yue had used all the wood ashes from the previous fire and the wood chips produced by the carpenter, but it was far from enough for the next second fertilization. Not to mention that they are still continuing to open up wasteland, they will need more and more fertilizer, and the fields that have been cleared now alone have reached about 10,000 acres.

As a last resort, some people were sent out to collect the rotting wood, dead leaves, animal remains, etc., and poured all of them into the pit for rotting leaven.

"This tribe has so many weapons that they don't use, and they actually want to farm, what are these leaders thinking," Huan said with the dried bacon in his hand.

At night, there will be people keeping vigil in the fields, and every time they are on duty, they will come in turns, and now the crop area is large, and every hundred acres of land will only be guarded by two people.

At night, for the sake of the hard-working clansmen, each group on duty will be given about half a catty of bacon for supper.

The lie he told before was not recognized, and Chiba and Huan were left behind by the Ji tribe, not in the form of tourists. Rather, it is treated the same as ordinary people.

"What is solved by force will eventually be solved by force." Chiba said as he chewed the bacon in his hand.

"But there's only one way to go in the beast tribe."

"Really? I don't think so."

It's May now, and the night is full of stars, and the moon is getting brighter and brighter, and the earth is full of mysterious moonlight, and the ears of wheat on the ground are like lakes. It's sparkling, it's not pretty.

Chiba sees a different future here. Instead of holding weapons to seek temporary wealth, but using their own hands to create the hope of survival of their clansmen.

"Look at this tribe, the weapons they build are only to deal with the robbers who want to take it by force, they are more through joint efforts to make the tribe better, the warriors and ordinary clansmen are treated the same, there is no special, even the leaders have to go down to the ground, work together for one thing, when we or all the slaves do this, then am I still here? Will the slave hierarchy still exist? ”

The direct reason why Chiba was hunted down is because many vassal tribes support him, and all slaves are headed by his will.

If it's a real sortie, all vassal tribes and slaves combined can completely beat several beast tribes. However, they have been forbearing, and have not put up a strong resistance, what they lack is the sense of no identity difference between warriors, ordinary clansmen, and slaves, and the vassal leaders have too strong self-esteem to lower their waists to connect with slaves.

What can such a group accomplish other than talking?

Huan put down the meat in his hand, and suddenly the delicious cured meat became bitter.

"Master, are you going to give up on us?" Huan's eyes looked directly at Chiba, and there was a crazy and persistent look in them.

"Haha, what are you thinking?" Chiba looked at it and smiled disdainfully.

"When did I become a timid person in your eyes?"

"What do you mean?" Huan couldn't guess a little, originally they planned to go to the northern tribe, because Chiba's mother was from the north, where might he find the capital for his comeback, but he didn't want to see the people of the tribe, he took the initiative to show up, and stayed here for more than 2 months, in the face of farming day and night, even if there was better food, Huan was also a little depressed, because his relatives were still suffering in the west, and he had to go back to rescue them.

Yes, Huan is a slave, it's just that Chiba appeared early and rescued him before sealing the slave seal. But many of those who have been stamped as slaves and have been sold are his relatives.

Even if Chiba is the son of the chief, he is not without the ability to save his relatives.

So the slaves and those who also wanted to overthrow the modern chieftain united with Chiba Sanshao, who also hated slavery, and secretly exerted their efforts to crush it.

"Huan, don't you think we only have to have one of the abilities here, and we have a good chance of winning when we go back? Fundamental housing construction, weapons, pottery, these that kind of West yes? ”

"Master, then why don't we quietly go back and take this tribe for ourselves?"

Chiba paused after hearing Huan's words, and he looked at Huan extremely dangerously.

"Do you want to make them slaves too?"

No! Huan subconsciously resisted, and only then did he react to what he had said.

"Okay, don't think about what you have, maybe we can talk to the priest lord"

"The kid?" Huan's mind came to Li Yue's serious face about farming.

Chiba took a bite of the cured meat and chewed it full, and nodded.
