Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 258 Chapter 258
Yao Xiaoqing thought about it for a while, "I'll think about it, and I'll get back to you tomorrow." She understood what Jiang Li meant, and wanted to cut off the way of changing the medicine for the Dawu tribe, and completely crushed him to death in one fell swoop.

Jiang Li nodded briskly, and said with a slight smile, "This time I went to the mountain and looked carefully along the road, but I didn't see any rice seedlings."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him, with a half-smile, "The rice seedlings here must be different from those of later generations, and you may not recognize them when you see them." She felt that Jiang Li was an unfavored bastard in his previous life, but he was also a master. son.Until death, the five grains will not be distinguished, and only those who can recognize rice seedlings will be ghosts.

Looking at Yao Xiaoqing's expression, Jiang Li knew the meaning of her words, and smiled, "It's really possible when you say that, I've only seen long-term workers transplanting rice seedlings in Zhuangzi."

While the two were talking, they reached the entrance of the alleyway. They waved each other and went home.

Yao Xiaoqing told Yaohu and Mufeng about the fair, and asked them what they thought.

Yaohu felt that it would take at most two days to build some grass sheds, so he agreed with Jiang Li's idea and started a fair this year.

Mu Feng felt that the Dawu tribe could not exchange magic medicine for food, they had to be crushed to death.

Seeing that they all agreed, Yao Xiaoqing said to Yaohu: "Father, the leader of the Niu tribe said last time that brother should go and see his daughter, or you can go to the cattle while you go into the mountains to find fruit trees and hunt. Horde to see?"

Yaohu turned his head to look at Mufeng, "Did you hear what Xiaoqing said? When millet and beans are planted, we will go into the mountains to go to the cattle tribe."

Mu Feng blushed, "I don't panic, it's nice to be alone." After finishing speaking, he ran away like burning his butt.

"Hahaha!" Yaohu laughed and pointed at Mufeng, "Look at this brat, he's still shy."

Yao Xiaoqing was also very happy from ear to ear, and said with a smile: "Father, more than 70 strong men have been added. Dongxue is confinement, and the staff in the cafeteria is even more insufficient. I want to wait until the spring sowing is over. They add a few more people."

Yaohu smiled and nodded, "You can do it as you see it." He never dreamed that the tribe could become so big in just two years.

"Well! You should rest early."

Yaohu nodded and said: "You go to rest first, I'll go out and see the warriors on guard."

"Yeah!" Seeing his cheerfulness, Yao Xiaoqing happily walked towards the bathroom.

The next day, just after dawn, the people in the tribe started to move, and everyone arrived at their respective posts according to the arrangement last night.

Yao Xiaoqing took Jiang Li, Muba and the others to the grove where the spring was found.I saw the water in the pond rushing out, and the water inside was crystal clear.

Muba picked it up and took a sip, "It tastes sweet."

Xiongniu looked at the pond and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, there are many small fish in the fish cages that Uncle Achong and the others put down every time, and they are taken back to feed the chickens and ducks. Let's get some small fish and raise them in the cage. In the pond."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Okay, after we sort out this place, we'll let the seedlings grow."

Leopard waved the rotten soil, "Brothers, work."

"Let's do it, let's do it!" Everyone held up their axes, and the saw was busy.

Jiang Li looked around, "Qing Wu, I think we can dig the pond wider and longer to reach the Ning River. Even if the spring is dry, we can build a water truck to draw water from the Ning River to irrigate the crops."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I'm not as far-sighted as you are. I originally thought about digging a ditch. If we want to dig a wider channel, we also need to consider the flooding period of the Ning River. After all, we have only been here for a short time, so we don't know When the water is flooded, the water will go nowhere.”

Jiang Li thought for a while, "You are really worried, but the safest way is to build the river lift."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Based on our current capacity, the amount of construction of the river embankment is too large, so we can only do it slowly. After we are busy, let's take time to go shopping. According to local conditions, draw a planning map and follow Follow the drawings step by step."

Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing, with a bright smile on his face, and said loudly, "Okay!" He remembered that Yao Xiaoqing said that this is a blank piece of paper, and they can build it as they want.

To be able to build a home with such a woman of Lan Xinhui's quality, he felt great pride in his heart.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his bright smiling face and also smiled, "My father agrees with your proposal. Let's go up the mountain to see where the market is located."

Jiang Li nodded, "Okay!" The two walked up the mountain.

The two went up the mountain to look around, and decided to build the market on both sides of the mountain road past the hill.Both sides of the mountain road are full of miscellaneous trees, some of which are cut down and covered with thatch.

After choosing the location, Jiang Li went down the mountain to help.Everyone piled the big trees that had been cut down in the open space to dry, and the small trees that were as thick as bowls were carried to the edge of the field. Yao Xiaoqing led a few men and laid a wooden stake at an interval of three or four meters.

Dashu and a dozen warriors sent the nearly two-meter-long bamboo pieces to the edge of the field.

Yao Xiaoqing taught them to insert bamboo slices obliquely into the soil, and then cross them up and down to form a small grid-shaped lattice fence, and then tie several bamboo slices horizontally and fix them on wooden stakes.Such a fixed fence will not fall if two men shake the fence vigorously.

These surrendered men had worked for more than half a month before they realized that growing food turned out to be quite a cumbersome task.

In Dawu, women pulled out food in autumn and sowed seeds in spring, and the millet and beans that grew out were like the hair on the old uncle's head, which was sparse.

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast and a northerly wind blew.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the clouds piled up in the sky, thinking that it hadn't rained since the beginning of spring, and felt that it should rain.If, like last year, there is no rain throughout the spring, this year may be even drier than last year.

Old Ah Mu and Old Uncle looked at the sky and shouted: "It's going to rain, everyone sow the seeds before it rains, so you don't need to water them."

"Okay, work harder, sow the last seeds before dark," everyone responded loudly.

Before dark, it really started to drizzle, and everyone braved the rain to finish the last bit of work, packed up the farm tools and returned to the tribe, and the rain stopped after eating overnight.

Shan'am sighed: "Alas! I thought it would rain but it won't rain anymore."

Ada shook his head, "This year won't be the same as last year, keep going!"

Tu Gen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the dryness of the sky, we have already found the water source."

Yaohu looked at everyone's exhausted appearance, and said with a smile: "Spring is here, and everyone has been busy until now. You can sleep until noon tomorrow."

Shan Amu shook his head, "Spring has been here for a long time, and we haven't gone out to collect food yet. I will take people to collect food tomorrow morning."

Alin said: "Yes! I still have to mow the grass, collect the leaves of the mulberry tree, dry them and store them, and feed the cows and pigs in winter."

"I still have to peel off the bark to make paper!" Yuzi said.
