Chapter 976 You are shameless, you are greedy for food (two in one)
The rice grown in the newly opened paddy fields in Jinguan City is growing very well.
When Han Cheng led his people away from here, the paddy fields that seemed sparse were now much denser.
The seedlings planted at that time not only grew much taller, but also had many more leaves, and some even began to reproduce.
It looks a lot like that.
In some places where the soil is relatively fertile, the leaves of the rice growing appear to be dark green. If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a good harvest when harvest time comes.
In the rice fields, there are some fish swimming happily, slapping their tails.
Sometimes they will float to the surface to eat grass blades, dust and other things floating on the water.
People living in Jinguancheng, following Han Cheng's instructions, often took some grass with its roots cut off and threw it into the paddy fields to feed the fish.
After fish eat grass, the fish poop formed can be used to fertilize fields and promote the growth of rice.
As for the grass that has not been eaten by fish, after it rots, it can still fertilize the fields.
Of course, even if this is the case, you cannot throw too much grass into the rice fields at once.
Because rotting grass will consume oxygen in the water and pollute the water source.
It doesn't matter if the number is small, but if the number is large, many fish inside will have no way to survive.
Han Cheng knew this very clearly, because it was a very painful experience.
When Han Cheng was a child, there was a craze for growing mushrooms in his hometown.
At that time, their mushrooms had already gained quite a reputation, and some of them were said to have been exported.
In that era, being able to earn foreign exchange through export was a great thing.
Growing mushrooms is far more profitable than growing crops.
In this wave, Han Cheng's family also planted mushrooms together with several other families in the village.
After waking up early and working hard for a year, not only did I not make any money, but I also lost a lot of money.
It wasn’t because I didn’t care enough, it wasn’t because I didn’t work hard enough, and it wasn’t because the harvest of mushrooms was not good. It was because the price of mushrooms plummeted that year.
The reason why it looks like this is because some smart people at that time put steel balls or iron bars into the legs of the mushrooms before picking them and drying them into dried mushrooms.
After drying the mushrooms in this way, these things will stay inside and no flaws will be seen.
This kind of thing can only bring temporary benefits, but it is impossible to achieve lifelong benefits.
Once the reputation was bad, more than half of the previous purchasers stopped coming, and then they stopped...
That was the year Han Cheng's family planted it.
However, the mushrooms are no longer grown, and some of the infrastructure built when growing the mushrooms is still there.
Such as the pool used to soak mushroom bags.
The pool is built with bricks, and a layer of cement is carefully applied on the inside and outside. The waterproofing effect is quite good.
So, I carried several loads of mud inside, added some water, buried some lotus roots inside, and planted lotus flowers inside.
Later, when there was more water inside, some fish and shrimp were put in to let them grow inside.
Of course, these fish and shrimps were all caught by Han Cheng from the river.
Instead of using something as high-end as a fish trap, we directly blocked both ends of a section of the area, and used a washbasin to pour the water out one by one.
The big ones were eaten when they got home, and the small ones were put into the mushroom pond to raise.
Children's thinking is always different from adults' thinking.
Han Cheng's parents were upset because they had lost money for growing mushrooms at home, but the children in the village envied Han Cheng's family for having a large pond that could grow lotus flowers and fish.
Han Cheng himself was proud of this matter.
The tragedy happened when Han Cheng was in the first grade of junior high school.
Thinking that after entering junior high school, he would not be able to feed the fish every day as before. He was worried that the fish would be hungry, so Han Chenggong got a lot of grass and threw it into the pond to feed the fish.
The result of this was that after returning from five days in junior high school, the water in the mushroom pond smelled bad and all the fish were dead...
There is no further development of farmland below the paddy fields.
On the one hand, it was because Han Cheng wanted to hit the power, so he first built a similar outer wall of Jinguan City.
On the other hand, there is a lot of rain in the summer. It is not easy to open paddy fields in this season. Temporarily built channels to collect river water and divert the river can easily be washed away by water, which is a waste of manpower.
Material resources...
Farther away from the bustling Jinguan City, some tribesmen are good at digging traps, and hunters are digging and setting up traps there, preparing to use them to hunt prey.
Somewhere further away, there were people with weapons on their backs and bows and arrows in their hands walking carefully, looking for prey and preparing to hunt.
These are all people from the Qingque Tribe who were arranged by Han Cheng to hunt there and obtain food for the people of the Qingque Tribe.
For the current Jinguan City, food is the most fatal problem. Just relying on the food they brought with them when they left the main tribe of Qingque cannot sustain them for too long.
After all, just on the way here, more than half of the goods they carried had been consumed.
The remaining food will not last for too long.
Therefore, under the guidance of Han Cheng, Jinguan City began a journey of obtaining food in every possible way while taking into account various things such as building walls.
Traps, fish traps, fishing nets, rabbit traps, bows and arrows were all used.
Even some places where birds can easily fly over have nets set up to catch the birds that fly by and make them into food.
Many birds are not big and don’t have much meat on their bodies.
However, this cannot be the reason for being let go by the Qingque tribe members.
No matter how small he is, there is still some flesh on his body.
After processing it and cooking it with wild vegetables and other things, the taste is still much better than pure wild vegetables.
The Qingque tribe basically does not support idlers. Unless they really can't do any work, they will definitely be assigned some work.
The same is true for the people who came to Jinguan City with Han Cheng.
Under the control of Han Cheng, the black-hearted son of God, the people who came to Jinguan City basically did not have much rest and were already engaged in all kinds of work.
It's impossible not to do this, after all, there are many things to be busy with here.
Moreover, what people fear most is actually being idle. As long as they are idle, trouble will easily arise.
It is also because of this that at this time, there was such a busy scene in Jinguan City of the Qingque Tribe.
This kind of busyness seems to be very effective.
As everyone was busy, many dome huts appeared in the inner courtyard of Jinguan City. Together with the slave huts outside, they were able to temporarily accommodate everyone.
The wall outside Jinguan City has also undergone some improvement. More than half of the foundation has been burned into pottery by the tribesmen using firewood and other things.
All kinds of food were collected by people from all directions to Jinguan City and entered into everyone's belly...
Because food is relatively tight nowadays, Han Cheng has made some arrangements to deal with the current situation.
In terms of food consumption principles, it is still the same as on the way from Jinguan City.
Try to eat as much food as you can get from the surroundings, and try not to use the millet and other things you brought from Jinguan City.
These were regarded as grain reserves by Han Cheng.
In terms of food consumption, people are no longer allowed to eat freely as before, but a rough standard has been formulated.
There is one standard for adults and one standard for minors, and they are quantified.
When I was in high school, the ideological and political teacher liked to say a sentence when talking about economic life.
Han Cheng remembered this sentence very clearly - spending money is an art, saving money equals increasing income.
Han Cheng felt that this sentence was very correct, especially as he grew up, he felt that this sentence was even more correct.
Because he remembered it clearly and recognized it very much, Han Cheng learned it and applied it to the food of the tribe very skillfully.
When food is not sufficient, this wartime-like policy is still very good to use.
Of course, reducing expenditure alone is not enough, and it also requires the cooperation of open source.
After all, if there is no open source, the total amount of food will be stored here, and no matter how much we save, we will not save much.
In addition to hunting, gathering wild vegetables, catching fish and shrimps by yourself, there is another important open source method.
This method is to turn the food of other tribes into your own tribe's food.
Han Cheng did not want the Qingque tribe members to go to the surrounding tribes to rob their food. He would never touch this line if there were other solutions.
After all, there are always some bottom lines when it comes to being a human being.
Of course, this is assuming there are other solutions.
If something cannot be done and there is really no other solution, then that is a different matter.
What Han Cheng meant was that through trade, he used the pottery and salt produced by his own tribe to exchange food from other tribes.
At the beginning, Han Cheng thought that after coming over, he would announce that other tribes could use different stones to exchange for pottery, salt and other things of his own tribe, so that through this method, he could find sulfur, coal and other things as quickly as possible.
.
Now that he is here, facing such a situation, Han Cheng can only keep these things in his heart for the time being and ignore them.
Sulfur, saltpeter, coal and other things are certainly important, but when food is in short supply, they are still far inferior to food.
Only by concentrating all his efforts to get through this difficult time will Han Cheng announce to the older primitive women that stones can be used in exchange.
Trade matters have actually always been carried out here in Jinguan City.
For example, the older female primitives who were deceived by him into becoming second-rate traders, and the hunchbacked primitives of the Nest Tribe, are all using their own methods to earn food for the Qingque Tribe.
In the past, this method was not bad, and you could get a lot of food.
But now, after the food in the tribe has become more tense, it seems to be a bit insufficient.
So Han Cheng wanted to do other things.
This matter is to re-form the Qingque tribe's trade team, and let Mao, the former trade master, once again lead the team and lead the people in the tribe to use salt, pottery and other things from the surrounding tribes to provide food for their own tribe.
In exchange for food.
Compared with hunting, gathering, and other methods of obtaining food in this era, food obtained through exchange is still more abundant and faster.
The last time Han Cheng came, it was because there were not enough people, and he wanted to build the inner courtyard as soon as possible. In addition, the pressure on food was not so great, so Han Cheng trained the older ones.
The primitive women are the second-rate dealers of their group.
Now the situation has changed. With the arrival of these thousands of people, Jinguan City is no longer as short of manpower as before.
On the contrary, due to the increase in population, there is a lot of pressure on food, so the countermeasures have also changed.
People from their own tribes personally form a trading team, march towards the surrounding tribes, and conduct trade with the tribes surrounding the tribes.
Compared with being a 'wholesaler', you have to earn more, after all, there are no middlemen making the difference.
And another advantage of doing this is that during the process of trade, the surrounding tribes can be continuously assimilated.
Just like the previous Qingque Alliance.
After a long period of operation, it is not impossible for another replica of Qingque Alliance to appear around Jinguan City.
Then it's time...
Han Cheng thought about this and looked at the bustling Jinguan City, with a smile on his face.
In time, the tribe will definitely become more prosperous than now!
With previous successful cases in front of him, Han Cheng became more confident when doing these things again.
However, just because my own tribe has begun direct trade does not mean that there will be no need for older primitive women and the like as second-rate dealers in the future.
After all, the world is vast enough. When my own tribe begins to take the initiative and trade with other surrounding tribes, it can also accommodate the older primitive women and others to trade with other tribes.
When you say this, it sounds very noble. In fact, the real reason is that the food and other things delivered by the older primitive women are very considerable.
This stinky and shameless son of God is the food delivered by the greedy family...
After confirming these things and thinking over and over again, and confirming that there were no major problems, Han Cheng went to find a trader.
Mao, this talented family guy, has become even darker now. When Han Cheng found him, he was with the people of the tribe, using tools to pound the soil.
This man, who is about the same age as his second senior brother, does not look as young as before, showing some signs of his age.
