In areas close to water sources, there is usually groundwater under the soil layer, and in the space that is separated from the soil layer, there may be water from Shirasawa that continues to seep into it along the soil, forming something like an underground lake or an underground river.

The Huangqiu tribe is only a short distance of 1,000 steps from Bai Ze, so there must be a good chance that they can dig groundwater here.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was no water in the ditch, Shen Nong would definitely not dig a well, and there was no water source in the Huangqiu tribe at the beginning, so he was more inclined to dig a ditch instead of digging a well.

You must know that the speed of pumping water from a well is definitely not as fast as scooping directly at the edge of the ditch, and it is very laborious to pull out the water from the well with a wooden bucket, whether it is efficiency or water withdrawal, the well is not as fast as the ditch.

It's like if you live in a village where water is scarce, do you want a river or a well outside the village?

Shen Nong took the three Huangqiu tribesmen to climb out of the southern tree wall, he did not plan to dig a well in the current ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe, because this would be a bit of a duplication of water resources, and when the ditch was opened to water in the future, this well would become an ornament, which was really a bit deserted.

And since the last time Luo Man told him that he could recruit other scattered tribes to increase the number of tribes, Shen Nong also had a plan to expand in his heart.

That is, on the basis of the original ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe, a new area with walls will be expanded outward, that is, the second area.

This area was used for the scattered tribes recruited by the Huangqiu tribe to live, forming a situation close to the ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe.

Of course, in order to prevent only one scattered division from living and they would have some crooked ideas, Shen Nong planned to arrange three scattered divisions to live together in the second district, so as to achieve the effect of a three-legged support and mutual containment.

The most important requirement of the second district for accepting people is that the scattered tribes that live in must not have warriors, and all of them must be ordinary people, so as not to pose too much threat to the Huangqiu tribe.

As a friendly welcome to these scattered tribes, Shen Nong would ask them to build wooden houses and farmland for the scattered tribes, so that the people of these scattered tribes would have a place to live and work.

In fact, in addition to increasing the number of his own tribe, Shen Nong also wanted to speed up the progress of agricultural culture, if the self-produced crops in the Huangqiu tribe could fill the stomachs of most tribesmen, then this kind of agricultural civilization would basically be finalized.

With the second district, naturally there will be any third, fourth, and fifth districts in the future, everything depends on the Huangqiu tribe's own manpower, if their manpower is not enough to manage the scattered tribes of so many districts, then these scattered tribes will sooner or later suppress the Huangqiu tribe in turn.

This is like water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, accepting a large number of scattered tribes may be able to make the number of Huangqiu tribes skyrocket in a short period of time, but if one is not handled well, it may also cause the Huangqiu tribe to fall into destruction.

Refugees are always a double-edged sword, no matter where they are in any place or dynasty.

The existence of the ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe as the first district, and when there are more districts in the future, the first district must be the most central position in this cluster, which seems to be the core and a symbol of the supreme status, but this is actually invisibly limiting the Huangqiu tribe's own tribal development ability.

For example, Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, he gave the land around the capital to others, let others pay tribute to him, protect him, it seems that Zhou Tianzi occupies the central position of the earth, is the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, it seems that he has all the vassal states of the worship, rich resources, brocade and jade food and clothing, it seems that he has the protection of all the vassal states, when in danger, he does not need to train the army, he can have a group of younger brothers from all directions to come to the rescue.

Everything looks good, but in fact, Zhou Tianzi divided not only the land, but also the invisible resources that should belong to him and the right to attack the Quartet.

If Shen Nong also transformed the surrounding areas of the Huangqiu tribe into districts like a feud, then the control of the situation in the four directions would not be in the hands of the Huangqiu tribe itself.

Therefore, Shen Nong decided to build districts only in the north and south directions, with the west as the Huangqiu tribe's own control area, and the east as the largest source of water, which had to be in his own hands and not let others get involved.

Since the second district is to be reserved for the three scattered tribes to live together, the area cannot be set too small, but the dry season has not yet passed, and the water storage in the Huangqiu tribe is too small, which is not suitable for large-scale construction, so Shen Nong plans to leave the construction plan for the second district until the autumn weather turns cooler, and now dig a well first!

Digging a well is a very troublesome job, first of all, where to choose the site of the groundbreaking is a very tangled thing, you choose the wrong one is a waste of effort, no matter how deep you dig can not see the water, and once you choose the right, dig a foot deep you can see the water flowing out of the soil layer.

Shen Nong searched the forest near the southern wall, and finally stopped in front of a bush as tall as a man.

Even in the hot dry season, the bushes are very luxuriant, and they look very healthy except for a slight yellowing of the tips of the leaves.

And most importantly, the ground at the base of this cluster of shrubs is all dark brown moist soil.

Shen Nong rubbed some soil in his hands with his fingers, then nodded and said, "That's it, you guys dig it." ”

The three Huangqiu people who came out with him immediately held a bone shovel and dug up.

In this dry season, it has not rained a few times, and it has been dozens of days since the last rain, and the soil under this bush is still so wet, which means that there must be a water source under the soil layer here.

If you're lucky, you might be able to dig a well.

While the clansmen were working, Shen Nong himself walked around and wandered around, and the 'products' after the insect tide were still left in this forest because no one cleaned them up.

I saw that the ground not far away was full of insect corpses, and some small insects had even been dried in the sun, and there was a faint tendency to shatter.

And those big insects fell to the ground disemboweled, and it seemed that they had been gnawed by some wild beasts, which was very miserable.

Before the second sector was established, the trees in the southern forest near the southern fence must have been sawn off, and the stumps were left to the inhabitants to dispose of themselves.

"Speaking of which, it's time for people to go out and look for the Sanbu, preferably those who don't have warriors, but have a large number of them. Shen Nong thought secretly in his heart.

......

Miao tribe.

A skull was placed on a zigzag stone table, and the co-worker sat at the stone table and stared closely at the thing he had always wanted.

"This clash between the Mud Eel Tribe happened to be a good thing for me, Gu Xi had no idea what was hidden in the ancestral spirit remains that their tribe had been sacrificing. The vicissitudes of work couldn't help but show a sneer on his face.

I saw him stretch out his right hand, and suddenly a dark blue Qi floated on his palm, and these Qi gradually condensed, and finally turned into water droplets from his hands and fell to the ground.

With this full palm of water, the co-worker directly pressed his hand on the skull.

Rumble!

A cyan firework then burned and jumped, permeating the palm of the co-worker's hand, the temperature of the cyan fireworks was very high, but the co-worker was as if he was unaware, still holding the skull tightly, when the water droplets in his hand flowed into the skull, gradually the cyan fireworks actually showed signs of extinguishing, and the fire was visibly shrunk by the naked eye.

"In front of me, no fire is useless. Gonggong said indifferently.

As a large number of water droplets flowed into the skull, the cyan fireworks finally disappeared into a wisp of white smoke.

After doing all this, Gonggong waved his big hand, and the skull on the stone table suddenly shattered, and a considerable Qi emerged from it, and was directly sucked into Gonggong's mouth.

However, this was still not what Gonggong wanted, and when Qi was absorbed by him, among the pile of broken bones on the stone table, a milky white bone fragment came into his eyes.

This piece of bone is white and flawless, as if it is a naturally formed jade, and in the eyes of Gonggong, there is a sufficient amount of Qi on this bone piece, it is like it can breathe, and every time the Qi shrinks, there will be a trace of Qi on the bone piece.

"Finally let me get you, Shitongtai!" said the co-worker grinned as he reached out and picked up the bone fragment.

In this world, there is a magical thing, their name is called 'Tongtai', this is a kind of material that will automatically absorb the Qi between heaven and earth, and then store it in the body, according to the speed of Tongtai's absorption of Qi, the witches also specially gave them a grade from low to high, the faster the absorption of Qi Tongtai, the higher the grade.

For example, the stone knife in Shen Nong's hand is only a piece of Wutongtai, and the Shitongtai that Gonggong is getting now has twice the speed of absorbing Qi as Shen Nong's, and with the higher the grade of Tongtai, the faster the speed of absorbing Qi, so every Wu's wish is to be able to have a high-grade Tongtai, but Tongtai is very rare, scarce, and extremely difficult to find.

Sometimes even some big tribes of witches may not have Tongtai, and some small tribes of witches are lucky, you can get lucky to find Tongtai, and the witches who get Tongtai usually keep this thing very secret, because once it is known by others, the tribe with the same strength as your tribe may not dare to fight with you, but if the big tribe does not have Tongtai's witch to know, it is very likely that a war between the two tribes will break out because of this Tongtai.
