Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it carefully and get back to you tomorrow." She understood what Jiang Li meant and wanted to cut off the path of dressing change for the Great Witch Tribe and kill him completely in one fell swoop.
Jiang Li nodded cheerfully, smiled slightly and said, "I looked carefully along the road when I entered the mountain this time, and I didn't see any rice seedlings anywhere."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a faint smile, "The rice fields here must be different from those in later generations. You may not recognize them even if you see them." She felt that although Jiang Li was an unpopular bastard in his previous life, he was also a great person.
Young Master, you will not know the difference between grains and grains until your death. Only when you can recognize the rice stalks can you become a ghost.
Jiang Li knew the meaning of Yao Xiaoqing's words by looking at her expression, and smiled sarcastically, "It's really possible when you say that. I just saw long-term workers planting rice in Zhuangzi."
While they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of the alley. They waved to each other and went home.
Yao Xiaoqing told Yao Hu and Mu Feng about the market and asked them what they thought.
Yao Hu thought that it would take at most two days to build some thatched sheds, so he agreed with Jiang Li's idea and decided to hold the market this year.
Mu Feng felt that he could not let the Great Witch Tribe use magic medicine in exchange for food anymore, he would have to kill them.
Seeing that they all agreed, Yao Xiaoqing said to Yao Hu: "Father, last time the leader of the Niu Tribe asked me to go and see his daughter. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity of going into the mountains to find fruit trees and hunt?
Tribe take a look?"
Yaohu turned to look at Mufeng, "Have you heard what Xiaoqing said? When the grains and beans are planted, we will go into the mountains to go to the Cow Tribe."
Mu Feng blushed and said, "Don't panic, it's better to be alone." After saying that, he ran away like his buttocks were on fire.
"Hahaha!" Yaohu laughed and pointed at Mufeng, "Look at this brat, he's so shy."
Yao Xiaoqing was also so happy that he couldn't help laughing and said: "Father, more than seventy strong men have been added. Confinement in winter snow, the manpower in the cafeteria is even less. I want to wait until the spring sowing is over,
Give them a few more people."
Yao Hu smiled and nodded, "You can do whatever you want." He never dreamed that the tribe could become so big in just two years.
"Well! You should take a rest early."
Yao Hu nodded and said, "You go and rest first. I'll go out and see the warriors on sentry duty."
"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing saw that he was cheerful and happily walked towards the bathroom.

The next day, just after dawn, the people in the tribe started to move. 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. They saw the water in the pond flowing out, and the water inside was crystal clear.
Muba picked it up and took a sip, "It has a sweet taste."
The male bull looked at the pond and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, the fish cages put by Ah Chongbo and the others always have a lot of small fish, and they are all taken back to feed the chickens and ducks. Let's get some small fish back and raise them in
Tangli."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, after we sort out the place, we will plant seedlings."
Leopard waved up the soil and said, "Brothers, work."
"Let's go, let's go!" Everyone raised their axes and got busy with saws.
Jiang Li looked around and said, "Qingsha, I think we can dig the pond wider and longer and connect it directly to the Ning River. Even if the spring dries up, we can build a waterwheel to draw water from the Ning River to irrigate crops."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "I don't think as far as you do. I originally wanted to dig a ditch to connect it. If I want to dig it wider, I have to consider the rising water period of the Ning River. After all, we have only been here for a short time, so we don't know.
When the water rises, the water will cover everything."
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "You are extremely worried. In fact, the safest way is to build a river bank."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "With our current capabilities, the amount of construction of the river embankment is too large, so we can only do it slowly. When we are over, we will take time to take a walk. According to local conditions, we will draw a plan and follow it.
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 according to their ideas.
Being able to build a home with such a beautiful woman made him feel extremely proud.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at his bright smiling face and smiled, "My father agrees with your proposal. Let's go up the mountain and see where the market is located."
Jiang Li nodded, "Okay!" The two of them walked towards the mountain.
The two went up the mountain and took a look around, and decided to build the market on both sides of the mountain road past the hill. Both sides of the mountain road were covered with miscellaneous trees, so they could just cut some of them off and cover them with thatch.
After choosing a location, Jiang Li went down the mountain to help. Everyone piled the big trees they cut down on the open ground to dry, and carried the small trees as thick as a bowl to the edge of the field. Yao Xiaoqing and a few men fell down them three or four meters apart.
A wooden stake.
The big tree and a dozen warriors delivered nearly two-meter-long bamboo pieces to the edge of the field.
Yao Xiaoqing taught them to insert bamboo slices diagonally into the soil, and then cross them up and down to form a small Ling-shaped lattice fence. Then they tied a few bamboo slices horizontally and fixed them on the wooden stakes. The fence was fixed in this way.
Even if two men shake the fence hard, it won't fall down.
These surrendered men worked for more than half a month before they realized that growing food was actually a very tedious task.
In the past, in Dawu, women would pull out food in the autumn and sow seeds in the spring. The millet and beans that grew up were as sparse as the hair on the old uncle's head.
In the afternoon, the sky became cloudy and the north wind blew.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the clouds accumulating in the sky, thinking that it had not rained since the beginning of spring until now, and felt that it was time to rain. If it didn't rain throughout the spring like last year, this year would probably be even drier than last year.
Old Amu and Old Uncle looked at the sky and shouted: "It's going to rain. Let's sow the seeds before it rains so that there is no need to water."
"Okay, work harder and scatter the last seeds before dark," everyone agreed loudly.
Just before dark, a drizzle started to fall. Everyone finished the last bit of work in the rain, packed up their farm tools and returned to the tribe. After having dinner for the night, the rain stopped.
Shan'am sighed: "Oh! I thought it would rain but it stopped."
Ada shook his head, "This year won't be the same as last year, just keep doing it!"
Tugen smiled and said: "The sky is not afraid, we have found the water source."
Yao Hu looked at everyone's tired look and said with a smile: "Spring is here, everyone has been busy until now. Tomorrow you can sleep until noon."
Shan'am 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 it tomorrow morning."
Arin said: "Yes! We still have to cut the grass, collect the leaves of paper mulberry trees, dry them and store them, and feed the cows and pigs in winter."
"We still need to peel the bark of the mulberry tree to make paper!" said Yuzi.
