84 Buying Hearts
The natives didn't know how to weave, so that didn't matter. He could get the cloth, and getting some cloth in the modern world wasn't as conspicuous as weapons and armor. As long as the tailors here knew how to make clothes.
What surprises Xiao Feng the most is that these tailors can actually tan hides. Xiao Feng's hunting team can hunt a large number of bison. He usually does not take the hides back to the modern world, but the natives here use these hides to make them.
Winter clothing and shoes.
But these guys don't know how to tan leather. They use rawhide, which is cowhide that has only been dried. Clothes made of such cowhide are stiff, very uncomfortable to wear, and have extremely poor warmth retention. The most important thing is
It's that fishy smell that can't be removed no matter what, so the native people smell particularly bad.
After tanning, cooked leather will not have such problems. The leather jacket will be very soft and there will be no fishy smell. As a material for ready-made clothing, the comfort level is not a little better than raw leather.
Xiao Feng also attaches great importance to such craftsmen who can improve the quality of life of the tribe, and asked Friday to arrange a few apprentices to learn from them.
Then the rest are the farmers. These farmers are the people that Xiao Feng values the most. He has taught the native people to farm before, but the native people have never experienced farming civilization before, so they are slow to learn.
The effect is not very good.
In order to ensure that these people can eat and drink, this farming must be taken seriously. Xiao Feng asked several Toulon farmers to be called over on Friday and asked about the general situation, such as what kind of crops they had cultivated before and what they had used.
Such farm tools.
The information that came out really satisfied Xiao Feng. These Toulon farmers had experience growing tubers, vegetables, and similar grains before, and they had all used iron farm tools. They were familiar with the climate of this world.
Very familiar.
Although they are not comparable to the farmers in Xiao Feng's world who are good at intensive farming, they are vastly superior to those natives.
After asking clearly, Xiao Feng was very happy and gave these farmers some rice seeds and asked them to start cultivating seedlings.
Winter in this world is over. The weather outside is getting warmer day by day and the snow has melted. Xiao Feng asked several farmers and they said that they can go out to farm in a few days.
However, because there is wasteland outside, the first thing to do is to burn the wasteland, level the land, then cultivate it, plow it, and then plant the rice seedlings in the ground.
As for cultivating seedlings, they also know how to cultivate them, but in the past they cultivated cereal crops native to this world. They had never been exposed to rice before, but after Xiao Feng explained it to them, they understood it.
For experienced farmers, raising rice seedlings is nothing more than controlling temperature, humidity and time. Agriculture in this world is uniquely endowed because after such a cold winter, crop diseases and insect pests will be much reduced.
In addition, the land in this world is very fertile. Of course, it is not fertile. Just like in the legend, if you stick a chopstick on the ground, it will sprout. If that happens, it will be even more fantasy than a fantasy novel.
Even on fertile land, it takes several years of slash-and-burn farming to conserve soil fertility, change the structure of fertilizer elements in the land, and turn raw land into mature land before it can become truly fertile land suitable for planting.
Several farmers were able to receive an interview from Xiao Feng, and they were able to exchange their farming experience with this mysterious mage. This made them feel flattered. They also received seeds given to them by the mage and told them to farm the land well and cultivate it.
The farmers were very moved by the words of encouragement from the apprentices who taught them planting experience.
Everyone promised Xiao Feng that after the ground thawed in two days, they would take the natives out and select suitable land for development and farming.
Xiao Feng is very satisfied with the obedient attitude of these Toulon people. It seems that being backward in civilization also has its advantages. The people seem to be relatively simple. As long as you treat them sincerely, they will repay you with tenfold enthusiasm.
Xiao Feng simply asked Friday to call several blacksmiths and tailors over. After taking turns to meet and encourage them, these Toulon people were not only grateful to him, but their attitude became even more softened.
After all, in this troubled world where human life is at stake, it is much better to live in such a relatively fair tribe with food, clothing and clothing than to live in a hierarchical lord's territory.
People are all realistic, even if these Toulon people don't look down on these natives, but now everyone is under the leadership of the mage, and the mage is relatively fair. As long as you work honestly and hard, the mage will not blame you.
You will also be given appropriate rewards. Not only has your living standard not declined, but it has improved. What else can they find fault with?
When I lived in the Toulon Empire, it seemed that the social civilization level I lived in was higher than that of the natives, but so what, the life they lived was just like that? It was not much better than the natives.
They have to do heavy manual labor every day, pay rent and taxes to the lord every year, do hard work during the off-farm period, and even do military service. The masters are not so friendly to them. If they accidentally bump into the master
, a whipping is inevitable, and there is no dignity at all.
In this tribe, although they are much primitive and backward, at least life is fair. They don't have to pay taxes, do hard labor, and don't have to be oppressed by their masters.
As long as they work diligently every day, they can have enough food and clothes to wear. This kind of living standard has more than doubled compared to when they were in the Toulon Empire? So what else can they complain about? Some people even wish to
, it’s better to never go back, it’s better for Master Master to always be their leader. At least Master Master is not like those high-ranking masters who treat them with contempt, who come and go when they are called upon, and serve them with whips at every turn.
Punches and kicks.
Kayla Ducaidi and Kyle Knight, who were sitting next to Xiao Feng, were helpless when they saw Xiao Feng poaching and winning people's hearts in front of them. Although they also knew that if things continued like this, their status would not be guaranteed.
, but what can be done?
Now that they have lost control of the original team, it is very difficult to read a word even if they want to speak to Xiao Feng.
