The guards who were originally standing in the shadows walked out quickly, half walked to the Black Jade Throne, and half lined up in the witch array, and under the surging magic power, the blood mist was filled, and they quickly surrounded everyone.

As a member of the Li tribe, he is naturally very familiar with the Wu Array, which is a defensive Wu Array, mainly to protect the people in the array. Everyone had seen a lot, so they didn't care, but looked at Li Laogen who was still in a cold sweat with some concern.

Being made such a fuss by Li Laogen, Li Greed lost the mood to chat, and directly cut to the chase and said: "I called everyone here today to discuss with you how to manage the Yi people after they come over in the future. ”

Everyone was still thinking about what Li Laogen said, their faces were very ugly, and no one spoke for a while. Li Yan looked left and right, and had to ask Fengyun and said: "Fengyun, it was you who contributed to the razing into Chiyou, you talk about it first." ”

This Li People's Congress was originally proposed by Fengyun and Li Greed, and relevant issues were also discussed, so he nodded directly and said: "There are 80,000 more people at once, and the first thing to solve is the problem of eating." Yesterday, I took a rough look at the grain fields around Chiyou City, and about 10,000 baskets have been cultivated and planted, and if you want to feed another 80,000 people, it will definitely not be enough, so you have to open up the wasteland again. ”

After Jiang Xiang's popularity, Fengyun knew that the Li tribe had a unit of measurement for area and weight, and he thought that he had also seen the operation of the Wu Array, which was not a group of people running blindly, but the best way to cooperate after careful calculation. It's just that they call the mu a basket, six feet as a step, and two hundred and forty steps as a basket. The weight unit is the liter of the bucket, a liter has more than a catty, almost a catty two to a catty three, ten liters for a bucket, ten buckets for a hu.

The Li children have a good arithmetic foundation, and Fengyun has seen them play a board game based on mathematics before. Most of them can do addition and subtraction within a hundred, and the larger ones can even do simple multiplication. Driven by that group of boys, Fengyun roughly calculated the area of the large field in the north of the city.

Fengyun continued: "If the north of the city is not enough, go to the back mountain, and there is a gentle slope over the mountain, and cut down all those trees, just enough to get them back and build a house. More than half of the city is made up of grass and mud huts, and the Yi people will definitely have no place to live, so I plan to build at least 8,000 houses before winter. This is a big project, but the method of adobe flat roof is very simple, without the whole piece of bluestone, women and children can do it, the elderly can also, there are 80,000 people who have come over one after another, and it should not be slow to really build, there is food and shelter, so that people can really settle down. ”

Nodding, Li Greed said: "Yes, if you have food and shelter, you can be regarded as a person." These people were all exchanged for goods by the Yi people, but just like Uncle Lao Gen said, they are also people, and they are also our brothers and sisters from the same source, the Yi people don't treat them as people, we should be! Since our Li people have established a country, we must have the appearance of a country, the Yi people come over, if they are willing to stay, then they are the people of my Jiuli country, and my Li people are the same! In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing, Uncle Lao Gen, you may be able to find another wife in it!"

At the end, Leng Buding made a joke, everyone laughed, and the ridiculed Li Laogen blushed and laughed, and finally relaxed from the worried mood.

After laughing twice, Li Laogen became a little worried, and said: "Eighty thousand people! There are enough people in eight Chiyou City, how can there be so many things for them to eat!"

Li Yan looked over, and Fengyun asked, "Haven't you already planted the corn?"

Li Laogen asked suspiciously: "That's 80,000 people! Could it be that corn can really produce so much grain?"

New things will always be accompanied by doubts, and Fengyun's explanation will not be of much use until he sees it with his own eyes, he said: "As long as these corn seedlings planted ensure the current survival number, the yield of a basket is not eight or six." It's just that when I look at the fields, I find that most of the fields are planted with grains such as soybean, millet and millet, but very little wheat?"

Li Laogen was disdainful of the yield that Fengyun said, but Fang Cai said the wrong thing inexplicably, and he didn't dare to refute it for a while, but when he heard the back, he couldn't help but say: "Doll, you are still young, and you don't know the doorway in this grain cultivation." The ears of wheat are too small, and there is a layer of bran that is difficult to swallow and throat. The millet kernel shell is softer and can be boiled over a fierce fire. As for the larger grains of soybean beans, they can be shelled by drying them and beating them with sticks, and it is easier to eat a full stomach, but they are bloated by eating more, and no one likes to eat more. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Fengyun finally figured it out, he nodded and said: "It turns out that it is inconvenient to shed the husk, this is easy to do, the stone mill I brought can remove the bran of the wheat." I suggest that after the grain harvest is completed this season, wheat and corn should be planted on the rest of the land, except for a part of the beans that are reserved for oil seeds and fertile fields. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Laogen didn't believe it, and reprimanded: "That wheat grain is so small, and every bran is born, can you take it off completely? Farming is not child's play, the clansmen all point to the output of the field to live!"

Fengyun didn't argue with him, but said, "The stone mill is outside the Great Witch's Tent, and you can find wheat grains to try later." ”

When Li Ran returned to Chiyou City with Fengyun, he had eaten the dead dough cake he made, although he had heard him say that it was ground with a stone mill, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. In addition, there were many things on the way back, and Fengyun almost hung up, and he forgot about it for a while. At this time, when he heard Fengyun talk about it, he hurriedly beckoned to the guards and asked them to send someone to fetch the stone grinder.

Seeing Li greedy like this, Li Laogen was also a little unsure, could this kid really be able to remove the bran of the wheat grains? Then who will grow millet in the future? The yield of wheat is more than twice as high as theirs!

The guard's footsteps were fast, and the big witch's tent was not far away, and in a short time the guard came back with the stone mill and a bag of wheat grains.

The stone mill is not big, and it can be controlled with one hand, and Wang Yue played according to one person at the beginning.

I had never seen a tool that could peel such a small grain, and everyone was curious, so they gathered around to see it. Li and Jiang Xiang also looked closer, wanting to see how the stone had removed the bran from the wheat grains.

took out a handful of burlap pockets, and the yellow-brown wheat grains began to dry, obviously the old seeds that had been sun-dried, and Fengyun knew it in his heart.

After supporting the stone mill, he put the wheat kernels into the holes in the stone mill little by little, and as the stone mill turned hulala, the gray-white flour mixed with broken wheat grains and cracked bran floated down from under the grinding disc.

Huh, everyone was surprised, and unlike what they expected, they thought that the peeling that Fengyun was talking about was directly peeling off a layer of husk from the wheat grains, but they didn't expect that he was directly grinding the wheat grains into powder.

Li Laogen stepped forward and reached out to pinch a handful of flour mixed with granules and put it in his mouth, savoring the slight sweetness of the starch. After a while, he pinched Fengyun's arm excitedly, and said incoherently: "You can eat it! Good things! You are amazing! Listen to you! Grow wheat! Great!" He had no impression of the yield of corn, but he knew the yield of wheat. In terms of yield, millet is no match for wheat at all. But it is because of that layer of bran that the wheat seeds are used to feed the chickens and cattle and sheep, and only in the famine years or in the winter and snow seasons when there is no food.

Now, this storm can really take off the bran on the wheat grains, which can't help but make him not excited.

Seeing Li Laogen like this, everyone stepped forward and pinched a pinch of flour and put it in their mouths. After a while, they all looked at Fengyun with complicated expressions and were speechless.

The stone mill has not been used for a long time, it has not been debugged well, and the flour produced by the grinding is not so fine, but it is enough for everyone to eat it cleanly, and even the stone crevices have not been spared. Although it was mixed with slightly coarse grains and crumbled bran, the taste in their mouths told them that this was good food, and they could eat it directly! As for how to pick out the broken bran, this is very simple, and they don't need to think of a way, they can do it with their threshing field or even a dustpan.

Li Qing looked at the stone mill carefully, and couldn't tell what it felt like. In fact, to be honest, although this stone mill looks novel, but it is not difficult to do, he just looked at it, and he roughly knew what it was, and he believed that he would be able to make two stone slabs out of it when he went back now. It's just, such a simple method, why didn't he think of it?

Li Laogen was very excited, and he couldn't wait to open 10,000 acres of fields and plant wheat now. As long as they can fill their stomachs, the people have an extraordinary enthusiasm for labor.

Clapping his hand, Fengyun smiled: "Uncle Gen, don't worry, this thing is very simple to make, I'll find a few big stones to make when I go back." You don't even need this, you can use it with some big stone mills, and you can use it when the corn is ripe. ”

"Li Qing!" Li Qing looked at Li Qing, who was eager to put his head into the stone mill eye, and ordered: "You will find Fengyun tomorrow to learn how to make this stone mill, as well as the stone mill, help him make some as soon as possible, and grind more wheat grains left over from previous years." ”

Li Qing raised his head happily, looked at Fengyun, and found that he had no objections, so he nodded excitedly and agreed: "Hmm!"

This is a craft! A craft that can be passed on to his son for a lifetime!

Seeing that everyone was excited, Li Greed struck while the iron was hot and announced: "Fengyun has a meritorious contribution to the stone mill, I want to make him an official, do you have any opinions?"

Only then did he see the magic of the stone mill, and everyone naturally had no objections, Li Yan continued: "I have been established for several years in the Jiuli Kingdom, but all political affairs are handled by me personally, in fact, it is not a good thing. Listen to the wind and clouds!"

Fengyun hurriedly stood up, solemnly bowed and said, "The minister is here!" This was something he had discussed with Li Geng before yesterday. Now that the Jiuli State has been established, the management of a country can no longer be like a big family. Sometimes, a sense of ritual is even more important to those in power than force.

Seeing the wind and clouds like this, the people who were originally a little chaotic looked at each other suspiciously, and unconsciously, the noise slowly became quieter.

Li Greed also pressed his right hand on Fengyun's right shoulder, and said solemnly: "Today, there is a Fengyun who has contributed to the stone grinding, and he is specially given the name Huanglongshi, and he is appointed as a lieutenant official, and he can judge hundreds of officials and help the lord of the country manage civil affairs." ”

"Thank you, Lord Guo, I will never give up!" Fengyun said loudly on purpose. Everyone looked at each other, and they were a little confused about the situation for a while.

"Great Witch Jiang Xiang!" Li Yan looked at Jiang Xiang again, the latter understood, and also stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "The old body is here!"

Everyone couldn't help but let out a low shout, you must know that Jiang Xiang Dawu, as one of the founders of the Li clan, is no less important than the patriarch in the clan on weekdays, and because Dawu is close to the people on weekdays, he is even vaguely higher than the patriarch. But Jiang Xiang Dawu is actually saluting the patriarch now, which makes them vaguely aware that in the future, Chiyou City may start to change.

"From today on, you will be the protector of the country, and you will be in charge of sacrificing witches. ”

"Whew!" Grandma Jiang Xiang smiled and straightened up, her face was as usual.

"Li Laogen!" Li Yuan shouted again.

Li Laogen was stunned for a moment, but there was Fengyun and Jiang Xiang proofing, and he subconsciously took a step forward and bowed down.

"Remembering that you have cultivated well in the past, you are specially given the name Tulong Clan, who is in charge of agriculture and animal husbandry gathering. ”

"Patriarch Xie...... Ah no, Lord Xie!" Suddenly became so serious, Li Laogen was very uncomfortable, and he responded in a daze, and only when he turned back did he react, he was given a name?

For the human race, the bestowal name is an honor second only to the bestowal surname! It is not like his real name, it is a name that can be recorded in the Wuwen! In the future Wuwen records, he will be remembered by future generations with the name of Li Tulong! As for the surname given, he does not dare to think of it, if he has a surname, he will be able to open another connection, just like the Li people who came out of the Yan section in the first place.

"Li Qing! gave the name Ju Long, in charge of construction manufacturing. ”

"Li Chou! Give the name to the Dragon Clan, and be in charge of punishment and punishment. ”

"Li Shi Needle! Given the name Lianglong, he is in charge of healing injuries and diseases. ”

......

With the resignation of one official position after another, everyone gradually became serious, and they were accustomed to obeying the command of the patriarch and the great witch for a while, and they did not yet adapt to the feeling of taking responsibility, but it was only a matter of time.

Watching Li Corruption appoint an official position, Fengyun waited quietly on the side, he, Li Greed, and Jiang Xiang all knew that holding a meeting for these individuals outside was just to calm the people's hearts, and what really mattered was the town guards waiting under the throne.

There, they will have to come up with a solution to the most serious situation since the founding of the Li people.
