Ye Qing is preparing to reclaim dry land.

There are two types of crops that must be planted on a large scale.

One is hemp and the other is soybeans.

The importance of numbness is self-evident.

In this era, there were four main types of materials for wearing, one was silk, one was animal skin, one was kudzu, and the other was hemp.

Silk is extremely rare, and only a few powerful people can wear clothes made of silk.

Although many tribes have learned to raise silkworms, they are still far from large-scale silkworm farming.

Moreover, the technology of raising silkworms is still very primitive and backward.

Therefore, the production of silk is very limited, and the production of silk is not large.

And the animal skin was almost eliminated.

One is the yield issue.

Various tribes have started settlement mode, and rice cultivation is the main source of food, and activities have become very rare.

Therefore, the number of animal skins is very limited and cannot meet the needs of clothing.

Another is the tanning problem.

In modern times, fur is a high-end product, a luxury product, and a fashion.

It is also extremely beautiful and comfortable to wear on the body.

That is because of the modern and sophisticated tanning technology that has the effect.

No one can wear the original animal skin.

If you don't believe it, try wearing it.

I guarantee that I can't kill you!

In this era, tanning technology is very rough.

This causes the animal skin to be very hard and rough, and there will also be a strong fishy smell and rotten smell.

People yearn for and pursue beauty.

Who can stand such animal skin?

If there are better alternatives, who will continue to wear them?

Another issue is the temperature.

It's hot in this era.

You can imagine what it would feel like to wear hard and smelly animal skins in the hot summer.

Therefore, in this tribe, fewer and fewer people wear animal skins.

Ge and Ma are two major clothing materials that have been paralleled in this era.

Compared with animal skin, the advantages of these two materials are very obvious.

The raw materials are widely sourced.

The growth range of wild kudzu is extremely wide and is easy to find in the wild.

It's almost the same.

Clothing made of hemp and kudzu is light, cool, and has no odor, and is very suitable for the climate of this era.

Therefore, mahjong and erectile dysfunction became the mainstream.

If planting, Ye Qing chooses hemp.

Compared with Ge, Ma, the advantages of Ma are very obvious.

The hemp fiber content is high, easy to make, and it is much higher in length and toughness.

The most important thing is that the yield of hemp is high.

Hemp grows fast, and under the climatic conditions of this era, it can be collected at least three times a year.

The cultivation of hemp is also very simple.

After planting, just wait for collection, and there is almost no need for planting management.

Moreover, numb is a perennial plant and can be harvested directly without replanting the next year.

Therefore, Ye Qing listed Ma as the first type of dryland planting crop.

And soybeans have a great effect.

First of all, is it a kind of food or a staple food.

Historically, in the pre-Qin period, bean rice and croquette soup was the staple food of ordinary people.

Bean rice is rice made with soybeans.

Huo soup, soup made with soybean leaves.

The second is to make soybean soy sauce, sauce, and by-products soy sauce.

Soy sauce and soy sauce are actually one thing, and they are just different names.

In an era when seasonings are scarce, these are treasures.

The third is oil pressing.

Needless to say, the role of cooking oil is.

Others, bean sprouts, bean sprouts, tofu, soy milk, bean skin, dried tofu, bean curd, fermented tofu...

It can greatly enrich the dietary structure of the tribe.

With enough rice and being able to fill your stomach, why do you have to work so many tricks?

It's still for the population.

His current basic base is just like this with more than 2,000 people.

Even if we continue to merge other tribes, based on what we have learned, the number of people we finally obtain is still extremely limited.

The total population is only so large, so what can I do if I collect it all?

If you cannot reach a certain population, you still have no way to do many things.

For example, medical care, education, culture.

Without enough population, it cannot develop.

Therefore, while annexing tribes and gathering their population, we must also find a way within the country.

What method?

born!

Prosperate.

This requires sufficient nutrition.

Only by providing enough variety of food can adequate nutrition be ensured.

Only by significantly reducing the mortality rate of mother and infants.

Only by significantly promoting population growth.

The reclaimed location of dry land is chosen on the outer edge of the sandbank and the inner side of the moat.

This will be very convenient to get water and irrigate.

The cultivation of dry land also adopts the method of burning wasteland.

This time, a fireproof isolation belt needs to be built.

The cultivation of dry land is simpler than that of paddy fields. The ridges of paddy fields need to be built to prevent water leakage, but not dry land.

Fires arose again and thick smoke rolled.

This time there were no unexpected gains. This place is too close to where the tribesmen live, and there are fewer animals.

After the fire, the tribe members waved their heads and shovels, and started to work hard again.

Dig out grass roots, pull out the stumps with cows, and pick up the stones.

If you do a little smoothing, the dry land will be reclaimed.

A circle along the inner side of the moat, 2,000 acres of dry land were reclaimed, one adjacent to 50 acres.

At this time, it was already late March of the lunar calendar.

So Ye Qing directly asked his tribe members to plant the hemp seeds and soybeans collected at the end of last year.

The tribe members did not cultivate these two crops, and the seeds were collected from the wild.

Ye Qing was unsure of the harvest and output.
