Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 269 Chapter 270
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes, this place is still in the primitive age of living in caves, and some things are really useless. Let's slowly build what you mentioned, which is enough to defend against the enemy."

"Okay!" Jiang Li thought for a while, "Qing Wu, I think the current atmosphere of the Yaoshan Tribe is quite good, and everyone is dedicated to the tribe. Everyone thinks that the tribe is good, and they are good. But have you ever thought about it? , People who grow up in future generations will think differently from people today.”

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while and understood what he meant, "I know what you mean! I have thought about it these days too. If it continues like this, the tribe will become richer and more populous.

The first batch of tribesmen, like Dashi, Shan'am, and Achongbo, will stay in the stage of everything for the tribe, as long as the tribe is good for them, they will be simple.

But later people have never experienced that kind of life without enough food and clothing. They think that life should be like this, without worrying about food and clothing.They will not be as dedicated to the tribe as the first batch of people.

They will not be content with everything for the life of the tribe, and they will not treat the tribe as a big family.They will have their own selfishness and want things that belong to them.Some people even think that if you can be the leader, so can I. "

Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing appreciatively, "Qing Wu, I don't think as thoroughly as you do. I just combine the future generations, thinking that people have selfishness, and after a long time, they will feel that they should live like this. There’s always going to be swear words and you’re going to have to fight over trivial things. Of course, it’s trivial to us, but those people take it very seriously.”

Yao Xiaoqing pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, including me. When the day comes, leave a certain amount of public land and distribute it to them, and require them to pay a certain amount of grain. Then draw people from each household. Come to Qingzhuang to maintain the safety of the tribe, weaving, refining, crafting, etc.

The food obtained from the public land is preserved by the tribe to cope with famine and provide for the elderly who are lonely and widowed.

Like the later generations, the warriors, managers, craftsmen, weavers who serve the tribe... these people, the tribe will pay them a certain amount of remuneration every month.Managers must go through the election of the members, which is held every two years. "

Jiang Li thought about it carefully after hearing this, and said, "These methods you have thought of are good, and adding some rewards and punishments will make it even more perfect."

"Take your time, I will find some system suitable for this place to manage them." Yao Xiaoqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I will follow my rules when I am alive, and let them do whatever I want when I am dead."

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, "Yes, once you close your eyes, everything becomes a thing of the past. A country, like a tribe, will gradually decline from prosperity to prosperity. where?"

Yao Xiaoqing sighed: "Yes! Who would have thought that we would be reborn in this wild land!"

Jiang Li took a deep look at Yao Xiaoqing, and said in his heart: You and I can meet here, it is fate destined by heaven!

Yao Xiaoqing felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone is busy, it is unreasonable for us to be lazy here, next time I talk to you, I will go to the field to help."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "I'll help build the wall." After speaking, he strode away.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing called Mu Feng and Jiang Li to collect honey in the star anise forest.Yao Xiaoqing continued to collect herbs from the creek at the foot of the mountain.

She dug up some hard-to-find herbs with their roots and soil, wrapped the roots of the herbs with the prepared grass baskets, and took them back to the place where pumpkins were originally planted at the foot of the mountain.

She plans to turn this area into a medicine field and plant some medicinal materials that are not easy to find.

The notoginseng seedlings at the foot of the mountain are already half a foot high, and she also planted some Aescin, star anise lotus... this kind of snake medicine.The soil here has not been damaged by the pesticides and fertilizers of later generations, and the cultivation of medicinal materials is easy to survive.

Mu Feng and Jiang Li climbed up the tree with the barrel on their backs, put on gauze hats and gloves, and cut a hole in the bottom of the beeswax with a machete. Amber-like transparent honey flowed into the barrel, exuding a sweet scent of flowers .

Angry bees buzzed around the honey thief, and the gauze hats they were wearing were covered with bees flapping their wings.

Two trees were climbed, two hives were cut, and the barrel was almost full of honey.The two descended from the tree, took out the wooden bucket containing honey in the basket, and climbed up another tree with another one on their backs.

After running back and forth four times, I cut all the honey in the woods, and the honey I got back filled two full tanks.

Yao Xiaoqing is still traveling through the mountains and forests, looking for medicinal materials, food and spices.

More than 100 people worked for another ten days, and the spring planting of the Yaoshan tribe was finally finished. Jiang Li took Heiba ​​and the others back to the Qingshan tribe.

Yao Xiaoqing drew the drawings of the wind valley machine and the threshing machine and handed them to Yaohu.

"Xiaoqing, can this thing really get rid of Yangu and Biaozi?"

"Yes!" Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the blueprint, "Look, let's pour millet, beans, etc. into the barn above. There is a bayonet here, which is used to control the outflow of the grain we put in. Enter the barn, shake the handle to drive the fan blades inside, and the wind will blow out.

We open the bayonet and control the whereabouts of the grain according to the size of the food poured into the barn, and the deflated and full grain will flow out from the things like the pan mouths on both sides.Grass blades and grains of grain are blown out from the big opening in front. "

Yaohu nodded, "Father first make the gear you said with a mold, let's try to make one first."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, let's take our time."

Yaohu waved his hand, "Go! Father is busy."

The next day, Mu Feng, Leopard, and Jiang Li, a total of fifty or sixty warriors went into the mountain to hunt again.After the wolf dug the canal, he took dozens of men to collect stones by the river.

Fish and Spear lead people busy building walls, pens and drying yards.Bean and taro are busy making paper and cutting ramie.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, as if people are going to be roasted dry. Yao Xiaoqing looks at the hot sun and is thankful again that the vegetation here is good and the water resources are abundant. Otherwise, the crops of the Yaoshan tribe would be considered white.

When it came time to irrigate the land and fertilize, Yao Xiaoqing led his men to insert the gate of the ditch leading to the Ning River into the groove to block the water flow, and poured the manure into the ditch, and the fertilizer water flowed into the field. A large area of ​​land can be irrigated in a day.

****
Spring was over in a blink of an eye, and Dumb and those restless men settled down.

Yaoshan Daji is also preparing to open.

Everyone cleaned up the inside of the wooden shed, even the fallen leaves in the woods on both sides were cleaned up.Yao Xiaoqing also asked people to paste a clay stove in the wooden shed, and put clay pots, tables and stools on it, so that those people could boil water and cook food.

Some bamboo poles were also tied to the trees to facilitate the drying of animal skins by the tribes going to the market.
