In the next few days, Ye Qing stayed in the tribe to smel copper.
The tools are only an axe and a sickle, and a pickaxe, a shovel and a plow.
The newly reclaimed paddy fields also need to be cleaned up grass roots, tree stumps and stones.
Two days later, he cast 50 pickaxes and 50 shovels.
These two tools have several times more material than sickle, and the casting efficiency is much lower.
However, it's almost enough.
It doesn’t need everyone to have it. Just use it if you are young and strong enough. If you have less strength, pick up the stumps, grass roots and stones that are dug out.
Moreover, there is still a job to be done in the tribe, and manpower must be distributed, that is, smoked fish.
A large number of fishing catches every day must be dealt with.
The previous few days we all took the night smoke together, so we can't do this later.
I am already very tired during the day, and if I don’t have enough rest at night, I will lose my life.
Therefore, some weak tribe members were arranged by Ye Qing to smoke fish.
After the personnel arrangements were adjusted, Ye Qing began to cast plows.
For casting plows, copper materials are used more.
Although it was expensive, Ye Qing did not cast the plowshare into a thin V-shaped type to save materials, but instead cast the triangle shape of later generations, which are metal plowshares.
New fields are cultivated, and you are a plough!
If you don't cast it firmly, you will not be able to bear the time you can recast it.
In the end, 50 plowshares were cast.
...
The results of land reclamation are very good.
About 100 people, in four days, they cleared out a range of about 200 acres.
The wilderness with lush vegetation is a large area of ​​baldness.
So much is cultivated for the time being.
Based on the yield per mu, the yield per mu is 200 kilograms, planting for two seasons a year will be 400 kilograms per person/year, which is enough for one person to eat in a year.
The grass on the surface was cleared, but there were still tree stumps underground.
Cleaning the stumps, but it didn't go well.
After working for only one morning, the tribe members wailed and had few results.
Ye Qing was invited by his clan members.
If you have any problems, finding Ye Qing gradually became the inertia of the clan members. The clan members began to rely on Ye Qing and could not live without Ye Qing.
Ye Qing created miracles again and again, and in the minds of the tribe, Ye Qing began to become synonymous with omnipotence.
Ye Qing came to Xintian and found that the main problem of the tribe members was that the tree stumps were too difficult to deal with.
If you dig a tree root with a diameter of more than one meter, you don’t know how deep it will be to dig, and the roots will be mixed and the range will be very large.
If you cut down, the roots of the tree will be in the soil again and cannot be cut down.
Ye Qing looked at the large pit that was dug by his tribe more than meter deep in the field, with a range of 10 square meters, and there was a large tree stump in the middle.
The five-person cooperative team did this in the morning, and no tree stump was dug out. This used a bronze pickaxe and shovel. If the previous bone-wood plow was used, this stump alone would ruin the Xintian plan.
The other groups are similar, and the situation is similar.
Ye Qing asked his tribe to return to the tribe to bring the cow.
Ye Qing used a rope to tie the stump tightly, then put a ox yoke on the ox and tied a rein on it.
One cow assigned two tribesmen, one leading the front and the other leading the back.
A total of nine cows were put into force under Ye Qing's order.
Ka! Bang!
The stump moved.
The roots of the tree are thin and broken, and the thick ones are pulled out directly.
In a few minutes, the stump was completely pulled out.
It's so big, the stump is taller than that of a human.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
The tribe members cheered.
Ye Qing did not disappoint his tribe members.
Ye Qing is omnipotent!
The tribe members learned and quickly brought all the cows from the tribe. So, with the sound of people shouting and cows, the stumps were uprooted one by one.
The tribe members have a new understanding of the buffalo.
This is the buffalo once again showed its effect in front of them, in addition to plowing the fields, it can also carry weights.
In the eyes of the tribe, buffaloes are no longer food, no longer violent beasts...but, beneficial assistants, loyal companions, and status begin to be equal to dogs.
Ye Qing's method of catching, taming and using cows opened his eyes.
It turns out that wild beasts can still be used like this.
The tribe members began to think about the herd of cattle with about 100 cows. The disasters of the past have become cute in the eyes of the tribe members.
Some tribe members began to have a lot of imagination.
It turns out that he is very big and strong, and can help people do work that many people can't do!
Then, in the wilderness, the animal with the largest size and strength is not a buffalo, and a beast with a larger size and strength is...
elephant!
Elephant, so big, she must have great strength.
It takes nine cows to pull a stump. If you use elephants, two elephants are enough, maybe one elephant is enough.
Right! That's right!
As soon as this idea was proposed, the tribesmen applauded.
Genius!
The tribe members praised the fourteen-year-old boy who came up with this idea.
Ye Qing was silent, it was difficult to dispel their enthusiasm.
There are indeed elephants in the wild of the tribe. Many of the tribe's bone tools are made of ivory.
The ancients did this. The legendary "filial piety moved the celestial phenomena to plow the fields" means that Great Shun worked hard and never violated his parents' advice. Finally, filial piety moved God. When Shun was farming, God sent elephants to help him plow the fields and birds helped him sow seeds.
However, Xiangyuan farmland was not able to be promoted in the end, nor was it transferred to later generations, and eventually disappeared into history.
It should make sense that it did not continue to the future generations.
Ye Qing is not a history expert and does not understand the reason, but he still has some understanding of the animal he is a subject.
In the information society, even if you don’t actively learn and just passively accept indoctrination, everyone’s knowledge cannot be narrow. Many strange knowledge will always increase as you watch TV, watch videos, read novels and other entertainment activities. Although this knowledge is often not comprehensive, professional, and rigorous, it is not knowledge?
It’s better to read and don’t seek to understand it very much. This is almost the same. It means that you just need to know the general, the details are not important, so don’t care about the details.
This is a state of mind.
Oh, he is the "expert" who has reached this level!
Of course, there is another title for this state, called: civil science expert.
What Ye Qing learned was that animals like this are difficult to domesticate. If they are domesticated, they must start from a young age, and there is no effective control method and cannot command them at will.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unlike cows and horses, you can command the wishes by tying the reins.
On the other hand, the food in the sky is large and sparsely populated in ancient times, with plants and trees all over the mountains and fields.
But when the population exploded and the fields were everywhere, there was not enough food to grow food, and there was not much food to feed the elephants.
Compared with raising cattle, it is not cost-effective.
Therefore, elephants were eliminated from the ranks of domestic animals.
The farming nations and ancestors all had their own uses, raising pigs and meat, raising chickens and eggs, raising dogs and hunting, raising horses for transportation, and raising cattle to plow the fields.
Now, for tribes, it is enough to raise one domestic animal of the same purpose.
If you plow the fields and choose a livestock, you will naturally choose the most cost-effective cattle...
Elephant, eliminated!
Seeing that Ye Qing didn't speak, the tribe members calmed down.
The fourteen-year-old boy who proposed the idea of ​​Xiang Gengtian was a little nervous, and he asked carefully:
"No...no?"
He was very brave, and his speech was trembling and his tone changed.
Ye Qing thought about it. Since time has proved that things that are doomed to fail are not necessary to try again and again. Moreover, the tribe is saving itself now, so he should focus his energy on one point and move forward with all his strength towards the goal. The unimportant details are now unattainable.
As for, expand their knowledge and accumulate their experience?
Ye Qing didn't make any trouble with his brain.
Why not walk on the ready-made Sunshine Avenue?
Do you have to waste your time and energy on the winding path that is full of thorns and has no way to go?
Now, the biggest problem facing the tribe...
It's survival!
It's about living!
When the tribe is about to fall into a food crisis, we must make full use of all existing conditions, squeeze out the last potential, go straight to the goal, solve the problem, and solve the tribe's food crisis.
Others...get aside first!
Experience? Accumulation?
Let’s talk about it after the grain is full of food, pigs are full of pens and sheep are everywhere, and there is no crisis of survival.
However, the enthusiasm of the tribe members to actively use their brains to think about problems should be encouraged and cannot be extinguished.
Ye Qing said affirmatively:
"Your idea is very good and worth a try. However, it is very busy to reclaim new fields now, and there are cows in plowing the fields, and elephants are not urgently needed. Therefore, you can wait until the tribe is no longer short of food before catching elephants to try."
This guy is one of the three teenagers of the same age as Shaokang.
He called Lulu, he was fourteen years old.
He was timid and couldn't even speak clearly in front of others. When outsiders heard that, they didn't know what he said, at least Kang often made fun of him that he wouldn't be able to get a wife.
Therefore, with the name Lulu, his real name has long been forgotten.
Looking at Lulu's flushed face, Ye Qing decided to train him.
This is a guy with potential!
Ye Qing continued:
"If I have something to do, don't dig a tree stump!"
He also needs to create a large number of tools, and needs skillful tribe members to help with carpenters. Lulu has a flexible mind and is suitable!
Lulu was instantly excited.
In the minds of the tribe, Ye Qing has gradually become a representative of the gods.
Chapter completed!
