Yan Zheng stepped on the ground with residual warmth, picked up a branch and poked the soft earth.

When I pulled it out, I found that it was a thick alluvial layer, and the black and juicy appearance indicated that it contained a lot of humus.

This is a god-sent fertile soil, and it is still close to the river, and only a few hundred acres can be cultivated, and the tribe will no longer have famine.

If the salt problem is solved by the way, the tribe can evolve into a pure agricultural tribe, which can greatly liberate the productive forces.

More importantly, the soft and moist land, like the fertile fields of Guanzhong in the Qin State, can be cultivated with simple wooden tools.

Yan Zheng picked up a wooden stick and began to draw squares on this fertile soil, and according to the slight ups and downs of the terrain, he drew the range of about fifty acres of land.

Cultivating land also has to be done step by step, first get an experimental field, while seeing the effect, it can also make the people more convinced.

He tried to turn over the ground with just a stick, and found that it was not particularly strenuous.

Although it can't achieve the effect of plowing the field, it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you plant it for a few years.

He patted the dirt on his hand and asked the women and girls of the tribe to be summoned.

Since they were young and strong hunters, women were more active in plowing the land.

He thinks this is called equal rights and emancipation of women!

It's not that men can hunt, why do women want to run to farm.

And these tribal women will also carry out some gathering activities on weekdays, this kind of input is not proportional to the output, Yan Zheng thinks it is better to eliminate it as soon as possible, anyway, the importance is far less than the current hunting.

Soon all the women of the tribe, young and old, about one hundred and fifty people, arrived.

Judging from the ratio of men to women in the tribe, the mortality rate of men in the wild world is twice as high as that of women, and it seems that hunting and headhunting are both very risky things.

The women all rushed to the black-scorched land with puzzled expressions, and many of them, with baskets on their backs, seemed to be ready to start today's gathering activities.

Through body language, Yan Zheng asked them to divide into several parts, and then the people in each part were responsible for cultivating a piece of land.

On this fertile soil, the process of cultivating cultivated land is also very simple, building ridges and filling in the high to make up for the low.

Through Yan Zheng's overall grasp, a field soon began to take shape.

Then it's time to plough the floor, which is a little more laborious.

However, the women in the tribe, each of them did better than Yan Zheng.

This made Yan Zheng feel that in terms of physical strength, he was simply a waste.

He didn't help, just sat and watched.

Looking at the picture of this group of women, girls and children working together, especially the picture of little clothing, it is really pleasing to the eye.

The only thing that is bad is that among these women, as long as they are married, they will have tattoos on their faces.

Yan Zheng also asked the clansmen who boiled the nitrate to pour all the waste liquid left over into the field where the ridges had been built.

He believed that the yield of the land would not be low, and although he did not know what season it was, he felt that the climate of the land was very similar to that of the subtropical monsoon.

Therefore, it is nothing more than a matter of the length of the rice growth cycle, as long as there is a harvest, no matter what season it is.

After the designated land was ploughed, Yan Zheng instructed the women and began to dig a canal.

Taking advantage of the gap in the river, he walked about 150 steps up the river and dug a diversion ditch there.

You don't have to dig too deep, as long as you can walk through the water.

When the canal was extended to the front of the test field, Yan Zheng made a gap in the ridge of the topmost field.

The river flows into the field from the canal and slowly begins to fill.

He also personally made gaps in the ridges of each field, allowing the water to flow into each field according to the natural drop.

In order to make better use of the drop, he divided the demarcated field into three parts, that is, three parts according to the slight drop.

The benefits of this are self-evident, in addition to the efficient use of the canal, it can also play a certain role in protecting the field when there is a large amount of water, and it is also convenient to control the amount of water in the field.

The women and children looked at the water in amazement, and their expressions of joy were on their faces as they watched the water flow obediently into the black mud.

In their cognition, there has never been the concept of water obedience.

But they didn't understand why they had to pour water into these fields, and they felt that Yan Zheng's behavior might be to make this land shine.

When Yan Zheng saw that the amount of water was almost up, he asked people to go to the river and block the mouth of the canal.

When the water in the top field had almost decreased, he asked his people to level a corner of the land and make ridges.

After this work was done, he let the women disperse.

At this time, it was not early, and the fire was still bright on the side of the boiling.

He took a look at the progress and thought that it would take only two more days to finish all the nitrate.

When the time comes, he can use the stacking method to ensure the tribe's nitrate production.

He went to the tribe's warehouse and found the rice and beans stored in it.

Originally, he planned to use the method of raising rice seeds to select them, but when he thought of his handicapped hands and lack of practical experience, he chose to soak them directly.

The shriveled millet is soaked and first surfaced, and then washed several times with clean water after being removed.

Then soak it in warm water for heat preservation and germination.

Although the steps in the breeding recorded by the soil law are more complicated, Yan Zheng does not want to engage in intensive cultivation now.

And when it comes to breeding, he can only do it himself, so that the savages can understand this process, and he can only rely on deduction.

Only this time, he consumed the tribe's food reserves again.

He also plans to plant beans on the other reed fields that have been burned.

Beans can effectively fix nitrogen, making them ideal for fertile land and rotational tillage.

And if he grows beans in his way, he will definitely get a very good harvest.

After selecting the seeds, Yan Zheng returned to the thatched house with a sore back.

The leader and Wu were still guarding these eggs, and after seeing Yan Zheng, the two of them chattered for a while.

Yan Zheng took a look at the situation of these eggs and felt that there should be no big problem.

"You take turns sleeping, it's going to take days!" Yan Zheng gestured to them.

The leader and Wu nodded, and the communication between them and Yan Zheng had become more accurate.

Especially from Wu's mouth, Yan Zheng heard a few words in Mandarin.

Presumably because they had been together for a long time, the two languages were influencing each other, and even he had memorized some of the words of the tribesmen.

I believe that as long as it takes a long time, then this tribe without writing is likely to embark on the road of using Chinese characters.

Just like the ancient Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese people, they spoke different words, but it did not affect their use of Chinese characters for expression.

And Yan Zheng naturally can gain a reputation for making words.

When he thought about this matter, he had already made it clear in his heart how to steal the earth-shattering and weeping ghost story.

Such a greedy achievement can be obtained easily.

This is the advantage of returning to the primitive world, and sure enough, the world is full of dialectics.

When there are benefits, there must be an aspect that brings disadvantages.

When you get the bad, then there must be the aspect that you get the good.
