The people of the Huangqiu tribe worked together to turn the trebuchet around, and then pushed towards the loess low mountain, the trebuchet moved slowly, and the long pole was aimed at the slope of the loess low mountain.

"Tie rod. ”

The five Huangqiu people pulled the black rattan rope together, and then pulled the long pole to the ground, while the other Huangqiu people worked together to bring a large stone and put it in the spoon-like object on the long pole.

"Alignment. Shen Nong looked at the direction in which the long pole was pointed, and then said, "Put!"

A few Huangqiu people who held the black rattan rope let go of their hands instantly, and they saw a 'boom!', and a black shadow flew out directly and rushed towards the loess low mountain.

Bang!

The stone collided with the dirt slope powerfully!

Then smash out a pit that can be seen with the naked eye from afar.

"Woo!" Shen Nong nodded with satisfaction, this power is okay.

"Wu, I think this trebuchet can be improved, such as wrapping this one in fireproof materials, and then placing spiked stones on it, so that the attack is more powerful. Kupin said.

"Well, that sounds great, so you just do it, I agree. Shen Nong nodded and said.

Since Kupang has their own ideas, they have to support them, make them more and more confident in their ideas, and then think more and do more, so that they can make progress.

Now that the trebuchet has been made, it can be put into large-scale manufacturing, but this kind of thing no longer needs Shen Nong to worry about, they will do it themselves.

At present, what makes Shen Nong feel interested is the newly established new area in the north. This new area is to be used to live in people, and Shen Nong is more concerned about whether anyone has already lived in it now.

"Wu, a few days ago, the chiefs brought back a few scattered tribes from outside, and there were hundreds of them, so I let them all live in the third district. ”

"Take me to see it. ”

Immediately to the south of the Huangqiu tribe is the second area, and now the construction is close to the north of the Huangqiu tribe is the third area, in order to build this third area, the people of Cang let people remove the traps in the north forest to prevent accidental injuries in the construction.

There were a total of 135 people living in the third district, consisting of six scattered tribes, and according to Shen Nong's requirements, there were no warriors or only one or two warriors in these scattered tribes.

And in order to facilitate control and management, these scattered warriors had to take their women and children to live in the ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe.

In this way, coupled with the number of people in the Shi tribe, the human resources that the Huangqiu tribe can use have exceeded 300 people.

300 people is undoubtedly a qualitative change for the Huangqiu tribe, but on the other hand, it also increases the daily food consumption, and if the hunting team goes out to hunt alone, the Huangqiu tribe will definitely not be able to feed such a large population.

Fortunately, the taro, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that Shen Nong began to plant in the dry season are all ripe, and these foods that are full of hunger are exactly what the Huangqiu tribe needs at present.

And because these three crops actually don't taste good when eaten dry, Shen Nong asked people to allocate salt to them, and then the tribesmen ate taro, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to become more flavorful and easier to swallow.

But in this way, the bags of salt that they had received from the Tushan tribe earlier were not enough, and the salt reserves were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye every day, and if this continued, the Huangqiu tribe would one day fall into an embarrassing situation without salt available.

After the number of people increased, all kinds of things that happened in the tribe that made people feel anxious made Shen Nong feel miserable, obviously it was not so easy to become a big tribe.

Shen Nong couldn't help but wonder how tribes like the Twelve Great Alliances supported all the fallen people, could it be that they, primitive people, had also comprehended the technology of farming and animal husbandry?

However, this doubt was obviously not something Shen Nong should consider at the moment, and after he visited the situation in the third district, Shen Nong set his next target on the bald mountain in the south that he had discovered earlier.

There is a bald mountain in the south two or three hundred steps away from the Huangqiu tribe, and there is an underground salt pond under this bald mountain, which Shen Nong has known for a long time, but because the salt storage in the Huangqiu tribe was sufficient before, Shen Nong had no intention of relying on that salt pond to make salt.

But now it is different, the salt storage in the Huangqiu tribe is getting less and less, in order not to have no salt in the entire tribe by then, Shen Nong must hurry up to make salt.

The situation on Bald Mountain was still the same as when Shen Nong first saw it, with no grass growing at all.

But this will not have any impact on Shen Nong, anyway, he only cares about the underground salt pond under Bald Mountain.

With a group of people, with the help of tools, the place with white spots was dug by the Huangqiu people a large pit, the pit was very wet, and the further down they dug, the more wet the soil became.

Finally, when you dig to a certain depth, you need to use a soft ladder, otherwise you can't go down to that deep.

The so-called underground salt pond is actually a kind of salt pond made up of a large amount of salinity & gt; 2 g/L of groundwater is accumulated into an underground water pool, which is easy to make the soil in contact with it become salinized, which will cause certain damage to the soil quality.

However, this underground salt pond is a natural source of salt for Shen Nong, as long as the brine from the underground salt pond is scooped out, and then dried and dried, edible salt can be obtained.

After some excavation, digging about seven or eight meters deep, the soil at the bottom of the pit suddenly loosened, and suddenly several Huangqiu people standing in the pit fell down like dumplings, and fell into a pool of water, the sound of water was loud, and Shen Nong could hear it clearly when he stood on the edge of the pit.

"It's water! Phew, it's salty. ”

Shen Nong hurriedly threw down the black rattan rope prepared in advance and shouted, "Hurry up and climb up!"

The people of the Huangqiu tribe don't understand water, and they haven't been exposed to water by nature, so if they don't climb up early, Shen Nong is worried that they will have an accident, and it will be really bad if they drown in this underground salt pool, after all, Shen Nong doesn't know how to water.

Pulling out all the clansmen who had fallen into the underground salt pool, Shen Nong looked down at the pool that looked very white and turbid, and said, "You go back to the tribe and bring me a wooden barrel, the kind with a handle." ”

Soon some of the people left, and when they returned, they had an extra barrel in their hands.

Shen Nong tied the black rattan rope to the handle of the wooden barrel, and then threw it into the pit, watching the wooden barrel collide with the white turbid water surface and throw a large amount of splash, Shen Nong immediately used the wooden barrel to fill the pool with a full bucket of water and pull it up.
