Chapter 14 The Beginning of Enclosure Farming

"Do you have any basis for it? except the accounts of the wise men. Yuan Qi asked in a dumb voice, this statement was too exciting for him and unheard of. The law of survival in the Great Wilderness is that the weak eat the strong, but Qinghe said that it depends on ordinary people, how can they believe it without evidence.

Qing He raised his head and was full of confidence, "Of course there is, I don't know if you have noticed that the higher the cultivation of the awakened people in the tribe, the fewer children there are." On the other hand, ordinary people have a lot of children. You may say that it is because the Awakened are too busy cultivating, too busy going out hunting, and have no time. ”

That's one reason, but it's not the main thing. The age gap between the children of the Awakened is larger than that of ordinary people's children, to put it simply, our sister and brother are three years apart, and my brother and I are four years apart. This is still the situation where Grandpa and Grandma often go out, so that Daddy and Auntie are often at home, think about the families of other awakened people, is there a greater age difference than our brothers and sisters. ”

"Let's take a look at the families of ordinary people, the age difference of their children is one to two years old, even if it is difficult to survive and some die on the way, but in general, the number of ordinary people is increasing, and the number of awakened people is getting fewer and fewer. You may say that eighty percent of the children of the Awakened will be Awakened, so that the tribe will have more Awakened Ones. I don't know if you've ever thought about it, there are a lot of ordinary people, and even if the chance of their children awakening is very small, the number is quite considerable. ”

"Take the current situation of the tribe as an example, there are about 50,000 people, and there are about 15,000 awakened people, and the rest are ordinary people. Let's take a look at the statistics of awakened children, there are about 3,000 children between the ages of five and twelve, of which at most only 1,000 children come from awakened families, while ordinary families account for 2,000 children, isn't this contrast obvious enough?"

"The future of the tribe depends on these awakened children, and do you dare to say that ordinary people are useless? Another point to explain is that the grade of the tribe is closely related to the number of people, and only when the population base increases, will there be more awakened people and more strong people will be cultivated. The results are obvious, therefore, the growth of the tribe has a lot to do with ordinary people, we must solve the lives of ordinary people, so that they can be self-sufficient, and the tribe has hope. ”

"Well said. Elder Star's face turned red and his expression flew, "No one has ever analyzed this issue so thoroughly, and I used to wonder why there are fewer and fewer awakened people, and the tribe is declining more and more, no matter what we do, it is difficult to change." When I heard Qinghe say it today, I suddenly realized. That's what the wise men did back then, relying on ordinary people to bring the tribe to its peak. If we don't recognize this problem and despise ordinary people more and more, the tribe is not far from extinction. ”

Patriarch Yi looked stunned and looked incredulous, it turned out that this was the reason.

After Qing He's analysis, the problem was obvious, and the elders and knights were enlightened. They watched as the tribe became less and less numerous, and their combat power became weaker and weaker, but they could not do anything. Today, I finally got it.

At the same time, everyone was also thinking in their hearts that Qinghe's performance was too exciting, and this child's intelligence and sensitivity opened their eyes. The same may have been true of the wise men of the day.

After this incident, the elders and knights were greatly convinced of Qing He and treated Qing He as another wise man.

Everyone was still immersed in the problem just now, and Elder Star had already thought of a solution. "Qinghe, although the problem has been found, how to farm, do you have a way?"

Qinghe really thought about this question, and immediately said: "The top priority is to find plant seeds and open up safe planting areas. Seeds, we can ask the hunting team to help find them when they go out, but the difficulty is how to find a safe place to plant them. If we have a powerful formation mage, we can use the formation to enclose a piece of safe land, just like the stone mountain where we live, and use the formation to protect it and let ordinary people plant in it. In the beginning, we first circled a small area, and when enough seeds were cultivated, we circled more land to plant. ”

Elder Xing said: "It's feasible, there are still a few small arrays in the tribe, you can circle a few acres of land, it's more important to find seeds first." Later, we can exchange for a large array plate and circle more land. ”

The two finalized the matter of enclosure and farming in a few words, and the others did not understand and did not interject, and the matter was settled in this way.

Patriarch Yi was a little worried, "Will it affect the farming of so many people from the ruins this time, and there will be a process for ordinary people to accept it, will we tell them now?"

Qinghe stood up, sat for a long time, got up and moved, "It doesn't have much impact, just take advantage of the large number of people left behind in the tribe, divide the ordinary people into multiple groups, and select a team leader from them for management." Then let them take turns to train in the martial arts training ground, first exercise their bodies well, and then they will have the strength to farm the land. ”

"From what I've observed, the temperature here is constant all year round, which is suitable for plants. As long as you find seeds, you can plant them several times a year, and you will soon have a good harvest. I first drew the plants described by the wise man, noted their characteristics, and we began to search. As long as we find something similar, we all dig it out and bring it back to cultivate, and we can always find the right one. Qinghe proposed.

Everyone else agreed, and it was settled.

Qing He spent a day drawing the five plants described by the wise man, as well as the descriptions of their seeds and fruits. Find the next and ask him to train people who are out and about.

The patriarch readily agreed, praising Qinghe's high efficiency. He also gathered people in full swing, and a large number of people began to train. Then, ten ordinary people were summoned to study together and told them about the tribe's long-term arrangements for ordinary people.

Elder Yue was solely responsible for the placement of ordinary people, and she took the initiative to take on this important responsibility.

Dashu is one of the ten ordinary people, and he was fortunate enough to come to the council hall and participate in the learning and training. When he heard that he was going to enclose land for farming, and ordinary people could be self-sufficient, his heart never felt agitated.

He knew his chance had come. There is hope for ordinary people, and as long as they work hard, ordinary people can also contribute to the growth of the tribe. They no longer eat and wait for death, they no longer starve, they no longer survive, they can also stand on this land with their own hands. That kind of grand scene was so beautiful that it made him cry with excitement, and it made him seem to see countless ordinary people crying with joy, and they were about to stand up.

The same is true of the other nine ordinary people, who are very excited, they study very seriously and are determined to do a good job. They knew that from this moment on, their fortunes were reversed.

From this day on, the Baicao tribe has undergone tremendous changes from the inside out. The hearts of the people were full of enthusiasm and energy, and the numbness, despair, and worry on their faces were all gone. It's a whole new tribe, and everyone is working hard.
