When the leaders of the major tribes arrived at the Leopard Tribe, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.
There are clusters of tall rice, and the golden and plump ears of rice are hanging down in clusters. In the fields and on the haystacks, rice is everywhere...
Is this really from the leopard tribe?
All the tribal leaders stared blankly at this scene, their eyes filled with disbelief.
In the past, in order to consolidate the rule of Xi State, Yao Xuan, the king of Xi State, taught the barbarians in the mountains farming techniques and ordered the barbarian tribes in Xi State to open up wasteland.
This was originally an act of kindness, a good deed by Xidu to win over all the major tribes in the mountains.
But the barbarian tribes don't buy it. They always have the persecution paranoia that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me", and they are skeptical of any policies of Xidu.
It is believed that King Xi wanted to use farming to turn the brave and majestic jungle warriors into powerless farmers to achieve the purpose of ruling them.
Under Yao Xuan's pressure, although all tribes farmed honestly, most of them were passive and idle, wasting their time on farming and focusing on hunting and gathering.
The final result is self-evident. The harvest in the fields was bleak, and many fields had no harvest.
This was originally a policy to benefit the people, but in the end it backfired. The barbarian tribes became disillusioned when they heard about farming, thinking that they had no talent for farming.
The leader of the snake king asked the leopard tribe.
"You planted this? Is it from Xidu people?"
The leaders of the major tribes also looked alert. Could it be that King Xi had created such an illusion to deceive them into farming?
Song and the Leopard Division Wu Zhu did not speak, and Haoshan stood up consciously: "Chief Snake King, we did plant this, but Xidu sent a farming master to teach us farming techniques, otherwise how could we grow like this?
good!"
The leaders nodded after hearing this, which made sense. Remembering that King Xi rushed to their aid and helped them kill the fat man, everyone lowered their guard a little.
"Chief Haoshan, how is the harvest in the fields?"
This is the issue that the tribal leaders are most concerned about. After all, the food harvest is the most important. If the harvest is really good, then... they can try it. Planting a hundred and eighty acres will not delay anything.
.
Haoshan was very moved when he saw everyone, and he felt a little proud for no reason. He pointed to the plowing road:
"As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. The leaders will know the harvest at a glance. Hahaha, it's a good harvest. The yield per mu is one stone and a half!"
When they heard that one stone per mu was produced, all the tribal leaders took a breath of air and their eyes shone with excitement.
"The yield per acre is one and a half dan, Haoshan. Doesn't this mean that you can harvest 30 dan of grain from a land as big as your palm? My Lord Haotian, if we plant 18,000 acres of land, wouldn't our tribe be able to have enough food and clothing?"
!”
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Leopard tribe can harvest thirty shi of grain from such a small field. Every year we use various herbs, animal skins, and meat to buy food in Xidu, and we can only buy a hundred shi at most. It's too much for others.
Even if we don’t sell it yet, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could also farm and be self-sufficient!”
"Hey, I didn't expect that we people in the mountains can grow more than one stone per mu of food. So, not only the people in Xidu can farm, but we can also farm!"
...
For a time, the leaders of the major tribes began to discuss heatedly, and everyone's eyes showed longing, which was their yearning for a better life.
Haoshan listened to everyone's discussion with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Brothers, please don't get excited. In fact, our Leopard Tribe has just learned the art of farming this year. I heard from the master of Xidu that King Xi has revolutionized farming this year, and Xidu has made a big farm. The yield of every stone per mu is the lowest, and the best fields are
It produces three stones and more!”
As soon as Haoshan's words came out, everyone who was originally having a lively discussion fell silent, their jaws dropped, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"A yield of three stones per acre? This is impossible. If this is true, the people of Xidu will not be able to finish their food. Haoshan, this joke is not fun at all!"
The elderly leader of a certain tribe frowned and said to Hao Shan angrily.
Haoshan was not annoyed at all and continued to smile: "How dare I amuse the leaders? It is no secret that Xidu's cultivated land yields three stones per mu. You can go to Xidu and ask about it and you will know!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
"Then... maybe it's a good harvest year, but it may not be as good next time. When it's our turn to farm, if God doesn't like it, who will we cry to!"
Haoshan nodded, expressing his approval of the man's statement, and said: "What this leader said is that if the weather is not good, the harvest will naturally be bad. This is the same as our bad luck in hunting. There is nothing to say.
However, the cultivated land that yields three stones per mu in Xidu is not a matter of luck, but is King Xi’s secret recipe. We will also use this secret recipe next year. By then, it will not be one stone per mu, but two stones per mu as a base!"
After hearing the secret recipe, the leaders of the major tribes were shocked.
The harvest of one stone per mu makes everyone very excited. If they can also grow the grain of one stone per mu, then their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the people will not starve to death, and their bodies will be stronger.
, racial reproduction can be guaranteed, and the population will increase.
"Haoshan, are you saying that King Xi has a secret recipe for farming, so that next year the people of Xidu will be able to increase their food production, two stones at a time?"
They can no longer imagine what it would be like to produce two stones per mu!
Haoshan was born in the mountains. He felt the eagerness of the leaders of the major tribes. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Yes, this is all true. The divine beast Dangkang appeared in Xidu a few days ago. Yes, we are watching
The golden light that comes, the arrival of this divine beast indicates that the farming skills of Xidu are the best in all Xia dynasties. We are in Xi Kingdom, with the right time, place and people. As long as we are willing, we can learn the best farming in the world.
The art!"
Haoshan's impassioned words were like a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of the leaders of the major tribes again and again, and each blow would make a surging sound.
The tribal leaders were really tempted this time. First of all, although King Xinxi was young, he was very good to the tribal leaders. He was reasonable, kind and open-minded. He was not the kind of person with deep thoughts;
Moreover, the life of the people in Xidu is indeed better than that of the people in the mountains. Now that the king has the secret of farming, I think the future will be better;
Finally, there is the temptation of three stones per mu. For people who are struggling to make ends meet, nothing is more tempting than food. If there is, then it is more food!
After thinking about it, the tribal leaders soon became uneasy again, chasing Haoshan and asking: "Chief Haoshan, you just said that King Xi will teach the secret farming recipe to your Leopard tribe? Is this true? The king is so generous in giving it out.
?”
Haoshan pretended to be displeased and said: "You and I have witnessed the virtues of the king. It is of course true. The king pities the hardships of the people, so he created the secret technique. As long as it is the people of the Xi Kingdom, how can the king not teach it to you?
Not the people of the Xi Kingdom, not the king’s subjects?”
As soon as these words came out, all the tribal leaders were startled, and then they spoke in unison.
"We are from the Xi Kingdom. Who said we are not the people of the Xi Kingdom or the king's subjects? I will kill him!"
