Chapter 007: This Thing Is Quite Tempting
(This chapter is an over-the-top chapter, so you can skip and read it)
With a specific division of labor, there is competition with each other. Everyone wants to behave well in front of the patriarch and get more and better rewards.
The slaves, in particular, were extremely excited.
Well done, the opportunity to be rewarded with a surname, to become a clansman, who wouldn't want to get this honor?
Xiao Shuo firmly believes that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and it is not a dream for the tribe to be strong. Killing Di Xin and seizing the world should not be writing a novel.
As for himself, he carved out a piece of land near his residence and took Su Daji with him to plant the crops rewarded by the system.
During this period, rice was very rare, only a little shadow was found in the southern region, and it was not visible at all in the northern region.
As for corn and canola, not to mention.
Therefore, when Xiao Shuo took out these unseen and unheard things out of thin air, Su Daji was even more convinced that her husband was a god descending from earth.
Seeing Su Daji's curiosity, Xiao Shuo smiled and introduced: "This is called rice, ...... planted in water."
"Huh?" Su Daji's eyes widened: "Husband, it's cold in the water, how can you plant it, won't it be drowned?"
"If it's flooded, it's not called rice, there are some things that like a lot of water. Xiao Shuo said, and continued to introduce to his daughter-in-law: "This is corn, which can also be called baogu, which is similar to the way of planting millet, but the harvest is much larger.
This is called rapeseed and is not to be eaten directly. However, it can be made into oil extraction, which can enhance the aroma and nutrition of meals. Come on girl, let's start planting. ”
After that, Xiao Shuo took Su Daji, carried a simple hoe tied to stones, dug up the weeds, small trees, etc., in the field, and put them under the sun to dry.
During this period, he took Su Daji to dig the soil, and it was the kind that turned over the whole field.
Although Su Daji is a daughter, she is not hypocritical, she works very hard, and soon she is sweating profusely.
Xiao Shuo sighed that the production tools really determine the productivity, and the original model is too laborious, and the efficiency is so low that it is to death. How nice it would be to have a cultivator!
However, even a small tribe that is rare for cattle farming, this can only be imagined.
At least, for the time being, you can only think about it.
It took two days to finally dig up the plot, and the weeds and the like were completely dried.
Under Xiao Shuo's leadership, the two couples stacked the withered things on top of each other, and then set them on fire.
Suddenly, a crackling sound came out, bringing up thick green smoke and more and more flames.
Looking at these, Su Daji was very puzzled, looked at her fairy husband in a daze, and stopped talking.
Xiao Shuo understood what his wife meant, and said with a smile: "Lady, this is called burning ash, also known as direct soil fertilizer. It can increase the nutrients in the soil, so that crops grow better and harvest higher. ”
"Crops?" said Suda, who was completely preoccupied with the words.
Xiao Shuo said again: "Yes, it is called crops, and these things we plant can be collectively called crops." If it is feasible, it will be widely promoted in the future.
If the conditions are ripe, get some hybrids to increase the yield. Not only can it fill everyone's stomachs, but it can also be used to raise cows, pigs, dogs, and so on. ”
Su Daji can understand this about raising cattle, but what is it to feed pigs and dogs?
Husband, how many things do you still have that the concubine doesn't know?
As people of small tribes, they have not yet tamed wild dogs and wild boars, and it is impossible to have the idea of feeding. See, kill directly to take the meat.
Moreover, regardless of the variety, they are mixed together, collectively referred to as big meat, anyway, just to fill the stomach.
But to feed these with food, Su Daji felt that her husband was a bit of a joke.
While Xiao Shuo was working, he instilled all kinds of advanced ideas in Su Daji and taught some planting techniques.
The two of them worked diligently in the field during the day and in bed at night.
But what made Xiao Shuo feel strange was that after working hard for a few months, why couldn't he see Su Daji's stomach improve a little?
"Is it me who can't do it, or is she not okay? Infertility is on the body?"
Su Daji was even more anxious, she was very worried that she would not have children, so she was abandoned by her husband and became an abandoned woman.
Fortunately, the husband did not mean to be displeased, and still loved her.
Especially when doing the work called 'weeding', it will give her a lot of rest to avoid the corn leaves scratching her skin.
What Xiao Shuo didn't expect was that the crops were so lush and the grains were very full. A corn cob can weigh two pounds.
Moreover, there are three knots on one rod, which is extremely eye-catching to look at.
Sure enough, it's a high-yielding seed!
During this period, many people were doubting whether these things planted by the patriarch and his wife would be poisonous, and they were far away from watching.
But when they smelled the fragrance of Xiao Shuo's roasted bread, they all drooled, their eyes stared at the steaming corn, and their tongues licked their mouths.
Seeing that Su Daji had chewed and swallowed the corn that Xiao Shuo had put in her mouth, and enjoyed it with a full face, everyone's stomachs kept growling, and they couldn't wait to rush over and grab a few mouthfuls.
"Husband, you eat too. ”
Su Daji couldn't eat alone, so she also took off the corn kernels and put them into Xiao Shuo's mouth.
Sprinkle dog food in public.
Oops, it smells so good!
If it weren't for the fact that these things were planted by the patriarch and his wife, the clansmen would have tried every means to steal them, and they would never have even left the corn stalks.
After the crops were completely ripe, Xiao Shuo organized people to harvest them, and introduced and explained them to everyone. The word crop is branded on the hearts of every clan.
After leaving the corresponding seeds, Xiao Shuo distributed the food to the clansmen, so that everyone could taste the new food, satisfy their appetite, and help the work in the coming year.
He didn't forget to send some to his father-in-law's family.
Su Daji wanted to open her mouth and ask for some seeds for her mother's family, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The immortal food that the husband brought from the sky can't ask for it. After all, they were always two different tribes.
She didn't know that Xiao Shuo didn't send the seeds, but she had a special plan.
In this era of food scarcity, food is the greatest temptation and the foundation of the tribe's strength. Even if it is open, the Kui tribe with a big fart will not want to compete with the Shang Dynasty.
Therefore, absorption and annexation are the only way to go in the early stage.
And the Su tribe is the first choice.
If you want to hold him, you must first grab his stomach.
Worried that the Shang King would fight back, Xiao Shuo was doing precautionary work all the time, often sending people to stand guard outside the Snake Valley.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to Chaoge with a belly full of anger, the king of Zhou received the news that the Zhou State was going to rebel, so he pushed the Su tribe back and concentrated on dealing with the Zhou State.
He dispatched troops, organized a huge army to strike first, and took the initiative to conquer the Zhou State.
In just one year, he launched 30 large and small western expeditions, and defeated the Zhou State, which was bent on overthrowing the Shang Dynasty and becoming the king of the world.
In order to keep the foundation, Ji Chang had to retreat, moved the national capital from Xiqi to Liaolan further west, and ceded eighteen lands to the Shang Dynasty, which greatly damaged his vitality.
The Shang Dynasty also consumed a lot of national strength due to the frequent battles of this year, and needed to stop and repair.
In this way, it gave many tribes the opportunity to develop, including the Kui tribe led by Xiao Shuo.
With this year's peaceful development, the Kui tribe has a heinous amount of food, which has attracted the attention of many tribes, and secretly plans to do it.
Only the Su tribe, which participated in the Battle of Snake Valley, was an exception, and the two clans were officially proposed to merge, led by Xiao Shuo.
But on the day of the merger of the two clans, there were constant alarms around the territory, and six tribes came to attack at the same time!
PS: Continue to ask for collections, ask for recommendations, bow!
Flavor joke→ just received a strange phone call, and when he got through, he said, "I'm from an insurance company, are you driving?" "Where are you going?" Me: "On the way to the magic capital." "Is your car insured?" Me: "Yes, I haven't asked, I'll ask later." The other party: "How much is the car you sit in?" Me: "I haven't asked, it is estimated to be tens of millions." The other party: "Big brother, what kind of car are you?" Me: "Train." The other party snapped directly and hung up the phone. I wondered, is it wrong to answer honestly?
