Chapter 232 Another Spring Comes
Two days after sending off these farming guidance experts, the internal and external cleaning work of the second phase of the courtyard project was completed.
Under the auspices of the little witch, the tribe held a grand beam-up ceremony, and the house officially began to cover the roof.
On the second day after the beam was raised, spring plowing sowing began simultaneously.
In previous years, people were short of hands and had to calculate the arrangements for everything they did, and try to arrange each step to a certain person, otherwise the work would not be completed.
But this is no longer needed now. After hundreds of young and strong men and women were added at once, there was enough manpower. Xu Chen only needed to notify two parents and a group of group leaders for each matter. They would naturally arrange for manpower to complete it, so Xu Chen also felt much more relaxed.
It is easy to do things with more people, this is an irrefutable truth.
Especially during this primitive and wilderness period.
The genes of Chinese infrastructure madmen are actually built up manually.
From the Ba tribe to the nearby five alliance tribes, it is roughly within a range of half a day to two days. The farthest Cang tribe takes two days. If the Ji tribe runs faster, you can arrive. The Hu tribe, Wu tribe, and Muya tribe only take half a day or a day.
Therefore, according to Xu Chen's judgment, the six tribes were roughly developed at the same time, so the harvest after autumn was roughly at about the same time.
The sky street is as moist as soft as a slim, and the grass looks close but not close. The most advantage of spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital.
This is a beautiful spring scenery poem describing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period.
The prosperity of Chinese civilization and the prosperous Tang Dynasty were the highest point that stood at its peak.
Every descendant of Yan and Huang is proud of it and dreams of it.
Although this was still in the primitive and wilderness era, there were still a group of savages who were eating raw meat and drinking blood.
But it did not prevent Xu Chen from planning a grand goal in advance for his kingly turbulent career.
In early spring, it is still cold.
Although the howling cold wind no longer has the momentum of a knife, it is still extremely cold when blowing on the body.
However, this coldness has a faint feeling of refreshing comfort.
Because on the river beach, one or two young wild flowers have begun to bloom scattered.
And in the burned sandy land of carbon ash embers, a faint tender green grass bud can be seen.
Sowing the seeds, there is hope for harvest.
In this chilly early spring, the Ba people once again planted their hopes for the new year.
A total of 400 acres of farmland used nearly half of the food harvested by the Ba people last year.
As a grain seed test field, after ploughing and harrowing twenty acres of land, Xu Chen personally took a group of diligent and quick-witted men and women to start digging ditches and ridges, sowing soil, striving to ensure that these specially selected and harvested seeds can be taken care of by the best care.
Under the collective labor of hundreds of people, the entire sowing process lasted for five days.
After sowing, Xu Chen began to arrange the grass-banded people to insert the farmland around and inside and outside. When dozens of grass-robes wearing furs and holding wooden sticks and bows and arrows were all in their place, from a distance, the large and empty land immediately became a bit popular and lively.
The newly joined women and a group of prisoners of the Gonghuo tribe had no idea about farming. They were just passively busy with their arrangements and leadership of the Ba people.
At first they were very unaware of why the Ba people threw so much food into the soil, and even they were wasted. However, when they learned that in autumn, the land they had cultivated and sown would harvest enough for everyone to eat for half a year, they were all shocked.
In the eyes of these foreigners, the harvest is men hunting and women gathering.
They never thought there would be such a slutty operation.
Specialized land reclamation and sowing to increase the harvest quantity.
Although it seems that it has put in a lot of work, the hope of harvest can make people fall into madness.
The Gonghuo tribe is more suitable for sowing than the Ba tribe. As soon as it comes out of the valley, the rivers outside are full of endless gentle river beaches, and the land is extremely fertile. Just the naturally growing oatmeal, wild beans and other grass seeds can be picked and piled up in the cave every year.
It is precisely because of the rich harvest that the Gonghuo tribe migrated to its current location and developed rapidly.
There are many plants on the river beach, and there are naturally many wild animals.
Various conditions are much better than the Ba tribe or even the Wu tribe.
Unfortunately, they did not learn to farm, nor did they learn to keep them in captivity. The caves they live in were in a simple way and could not store a large amount of food for a long time, which made the tribe only able to satisfy their food and clothing. It was as difficult as winter and spring, and they were still hungry in spring.
Especially after almost all of them, such strong men and women, were captured and came to the Ba tribe, the two tribes were even more sad in winter and spring.
It has snowed several times this winter, and I don’t know if it will freeze to death.
But they spent an unforgettable winter in the Ba people.
Although the Ba people are also saving food in order to save grain, in addition to oatmeal, wild beans and other miscellaneous grains, the Ba people have also dug back a large amount of yam, plus the large amount of wild fruits such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, and vine fruits they store, which greatly supplements the food and nutritional deficiency.
In addition, the Ba people also have a skilled hunter team hunting and fishing outside.
Whether it is bows and arrows or fishing nets, they are magical weapons and tools that the Gonghuo Tribe has never seen before.
With these two hunting tools, the Ba people have been harvesting continuously and they will not lack meat almost every day. In addition, there are too many pottery to cook hot meals, this kind of life is actually a rich life that they will never imagine.
At least throughout the cold winter, they did not see any hunger happening in the Ba people.
After spring sowing, the granary bottomed out, but as all kinds of tender wild vegetables began to appear, they would not have had too much difficulty in this spring when there was no shortage of meat every day.
Instead, the Gonghuo tribe and the Cha tribe who have lost almost all the strong men will suffer. This spring will surely be in pain.
But who can blame this?
If it weren't for the pottery of the Cang clan, if the great witch and the clan leader had launched this wrong war, everyone would be in peace and everything would be fine now.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
They could only accept this reality bitterly, and honestly accept labor reform in the Ba people, and compensate their tribe for the mistake of launching war.
Of course, they didn't do anything to work.
The Ba people taught them to build houses, burn wasteland and farm, weaving nets and fishing, digging wells, using bows and arrows, etc. without reservation. Nearly half of them are now organized into the training team and participate in regular military skills training every day. Those who fail to meet the standards will be punished. Those who have excellent grades will be rewarded with separate food, and occasionally there will be a bite of fruit wine that is delicious so much that the soul trembles.
In fact, if it weren't for that wrong war that the two tribes could live in peace, they would even be very happy to join the Ba tribe and become part of this magical tribe.
But unfortunately, they are most likely unable to stay. They are just prisoners, and their tribe members will definitely pay the animal skins and exchange them for the same amount.
Do you hate it, maybe there is.
But in fact, the longer I stayed in the Ba tribe, the more I couldn't hate it. I only had an incomparable awe of the Ba tribe and the magical boy named Chen.
After the farmland was sown, Xu Chen's main energy was put back on the end of the newly built second phase courtyard.
The second phase was completed about ten days later than the first phase of last year, but the roof was covered before the rainy season.
Although there were two light rains during the period, the dry mud bricks were not affected much.
After the roof is built, it is simply decorated inside and outside, installed doors, handled doors and windows and floors, built brick beds, tables and chairs, hung curtains and curtains, cleaned drainage ditches in the courtyard and front and back of the house, etc.
Most of these houses will be allocated for accommodation for the second family, so a group of young women who were stolen were extremely excited. Just like when the new houses of the Ba people were completed, after allocating the rooms, they all began to arrange rooms and clean the courtyards happily and busy, and couldn't wait to move into their new homes.
From the moment they were chosen by Xu Chen, they already knew that their destiny was no longer part of the Gonghuo Clan and the Cha clan. The living conditions given to them by the Ba clan are more than a hundred times more than those in the Gonghuo Clan and the Cha clan.
Apart from being devoted, they will never miss the crowded, cold, and nothing in the mountains and forest tribe.
They are now happy Ba people, with a brand new identity and name.
The women who moved to their new home were very happy, leaving only a group of male prisoners to stay in the kiln factory, which seemed even more depressed and lonely.
They all knew that under the unprecedented temptation of the Ba people, the youngest and strongest women in their tribe would no longer belong to them.
These snobbish women completely abandoned their mother tribe for the sake of luxury mansions and spacious and bright houses.
However, we also want to abandon our mother tribe and join the Ba tribe.
We also want to live in a big house and sleep in a big bed.
Unfortunately, the Ba people don’t want them, they just keep asking them to forgive their crimes when they work.
I think it will be a short while before the weather gets warmer, so the patriarch will arrange for people to bring their skins to exchange them back?
What should I do when I train in the future?
What should I do if I can’t eat delicious fruit wine?
Can we not go back...
In the lonely and cold kiln factory, many prisoners who felt that they were already half of the Ba people began to discuss this matter secretly.
After moving, Muba and Amu led all the women to start a new round of sowing tasks in front of and behind the courtyard house, planting some vegetables and cash crops such as hemp and melon.
Xu Chen also took the time to go to the mountain, cut down a few branches from the tall vine and fruit trees, and found several suitable places near the courtyard to dig holes and cut them down.
I don't know if I can run it, but he always has to try it.
After all, the taste of this wild fruit is so good, and it is an excellent winemaking material, and he hopes to succeed.
Chapter completed!
