"Hey, your lordship."

Hu Er scratched the back of his head innocently, although he didn't understand why his name for Zhang Qi changed back and forth, but he was obedient.

Zhang Qi looked at Hu Er, and saw that he was in good health and could train, and he also knew that the injury caused to him by the tiger last time was almost better, but his arm still needed some time to recuperate.

patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Okay, listen to your sister, take care of your injuries, and when your injuries are healed, the king is taking you out to play." ”

"Hmm!" Hu Er nodded like pounding garlic: "Obedient, hehe, Hu Er is the most obedient." ”

Amused by his silly appearance, the haze in Zhang Qi's heart dissipated a lot, and after a few words of advice, he and Hu Ling left.

"Everything is going well in the small workshop."

Zhang Qi put his hands behind his back.

Hu Ling followed obediently, in fact, these wolf cubs have a lot of things to do every day, but in front of Zhang Qi, the big things are also Zhang Qi's first.

"Hu San is in charge there, and he guards the stove every day in addition to the necessary homework."

The small workshop, that is, a test site established by Zhang with modern knowledge, don't look at him in the outside world to develop his own tribe, that's because he doesn't have a suitable territory, now that he has won the Xianbei grassland, then he must develop it well, and also consider how to liberate the labor force.

I walked to a small workshop located less than four or five miles outside the city of Silonia, and the outer perimeter of the workshop was surrounded by a log wall, and there was a lot of space inside.

Outside the log wall, there are also several acres of farmland, which is the experimental field.

Don't look at the farm in Sotai Village that can grow a batch of crops in a month, it's because of the power of the system, or the trajectory of the game.

The crops harvested from the farm, whether it is size, style, scale, or anything else, are carved out of a mold without the slightest difference, so don't think about picking out the good seeds among them to improve the crop.

Therefore, Zhang Qi will let people reclaim the experimental field, use the flow rate difference between the riding and cutting world and the outside world to cultivate crops, select high-quality, healthy and high-yield seeds from them for cultivation, and breed suitable varieties year after year.

Of course, this selection method is only a more detailed survival of the fittest, and cannot be compared with the improved technology that optimizes from the genetic level in modern society.

But it's better to do than nothing.

Nowadays, several generations have been selected, and a lot of high-quality varieties have been selected, and the yield per mu of sorghum has basically stabilized at 300 to 500 catties per mu.

With the use of farm fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the yield of one mu of mature field has been stabilized at about 430 catties.

Phosphate and potassium fertilizers are in the clouds, but refining them is not difficult.

In the case of not considering the purity, the plant ash mixed with rice washing water is the best potassium fertilizer, and the meat bones, fish bones, cattle and sheep hooves left after eating meat every day are ground into powder and fermented is the best phosphate fertilizer.

This is already a high yield in this era, Zhang Qi thought that with the blessing of the fertile black soil on the Northeast Plain, it should not be difficult to feed the current tens of thousands of people with sorghum.

Not to mention the naturally prolific food like pumpkin.

Step inside the log walls.

There was a clattering sound of iron inside.

There are not many wolf cubs here, only a dozen, and judging by their age, they should be the second batch of children who have not been planted in the spirit point.

Now they are almost eight or nine years old, and in this environment, they all look like little adults.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhang Qi's arrival, all the cubs eagerly saluted Zhang Qi, don't look at the second batch of children who came in did not plant a spiritual point, but in terms of fanaticism alone, they are no worse than the first batch of wolf cubs who have grown up.

This is the effect of faith brainwashing.

Zhang Qi smiled and waved his hand and nodded, signaling them to continue to do whatever they had to do.

The eyes looked around the small workshop, and next to the wooden pillars with the roof, dozens of ploughs were neatly arranged.

Zhang Qi stepped forward to check that the styles of these ploughs are different, from the very beginning of the angle plough to the monolithic plough, but gradually the style of these ploughs gradually evolved to a type, that is, the curved plow.

For the peasant family of later generations, Quyuan plough is naturally no stranger to him, but if he wants him to reproduce it one-to-one, Zhang Qi said that he does not have that ability, all he does is to give a general appearance, and then let the craftsmen grope little by little and move in this direction.

At first, the speed of improving the plough was naturally not fast, but as the wolf cubs grew up day by day, those cubs who had a high talent for craftsmanship were able to get out the curved plough of Zhang Qi's memory.

Zhang Qi had also tried to farm before, and both the feel and the degree of labor-saving were in line with the appearance in Zhang Qi's memory.

Getting started, Zhang Qi separated the plowshare from the plowshare.

These plows are not one-piece, and both the plow head and the plow frame can be disassembled, making it easy to carry or replace damaged parts.

Hu Ling followed behind him and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, this.. Any questions? ”

Zhang Qi glanced at Hu Ling and smiled: "There's no problem, you go and tell Hu San that the cubs who can strike iron can come and make plowshares when they have time, I need three thousand." ”

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and gave up his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"That" Hu Ling thought for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, there may not be enough iron here. ”

Most of the materials in the small workshop were smelted from the iron ore purchased by the caravans, and some of the crude iron left over from the smelting materials of Sojiaer.

The use of small blast furnaces is now very mature, and although it would have taken a lot more to heat up without coal and only charcoal as fuel, the more difficult it is, the easier it is for their technology to improve.

The output of the small blast furnace is not large, and the molten iron or molten steel dissolved at a full material is only about 100 catties, but as long as the small blast furnace is expanded proportionally, not to mention that it is unrealistic to say 10,000 catties at a time, it can still be done with only a few hundred catties.

The process of emancipating the productive forces is the process of the birth of science, and Zhang Qi's enlightenment education has been very successful in this regard.

At least after he won Xianbei's territory, he didn't create it from scratch, but already had a foundation.

"I know that." Zhang Qi put down the plowshare and moved the plowshare to the side, he wanted to take the plowshare out and let the people from the outside world process the plowshare, and when the time came, he could directly bring out the plowshare, which could not only save a dinar, but also show miracles in front of the Xianbei people.

"Don't worry about iron matters, Sogar has accumulated a lot of materials there, you just go and move it, he won't stop it."

"Besides, let the plough frame be brought to the hall, and let the craftsmen come over again, I have a new task to give them."

Zhang Qi patted the floating ash on his hand and said softly.

In ancient society, agricultural civilization was inherently more stable than nomadic civilization, of course, this is not to say that nomadism is undesirable, but Zhang Qi, who has the insight of later generations, naturally still tends to focus on agriculture and supplement the development process of nomadism.

The Northeast Plain has a natural advantage in this, although the Northeast Plain is swampy because of the water system, but these can be overcome, and with the current population of Zhang Qi, a piece of 100,000 mu or even only tens of thousands of acres of farmland is enough to feed them.

As for the future, take your time.
