Chapter 0020 Copper Refining(1/2)
On this day, the bull hunting team sent back the buffaloes that were captured alive from time to time.
There are no other scars on these cows, but there are more or less traces of burns.
It seems that the Bull Catcher has used the fire very well.
Don't the cow run?
burn!
Until the cow really can't run and the fire burns, it won't run away. At this time, you can catch it directly.
On this day, 49 cows were captured alive.
Several cows had an accident and had broken their legs and had to kill them to eat meat.
At the end of the day, everyone in the cattle hunting team was exhausted.
But everyone is happy.
Although the cattle were hunted only more than 50, and there were still more than 100 cattle in the herd, the remaining cattle were far away from the tribe because of this large-scale driving, and they no longer dared to get close to the tribe.
This can also be regarded as eradicating this great harm that harms the tribe.
Moreover, these cattle will become a support for the farmland in the future, so every tribe in the tribe feels happy.
The bull nose ring is so good. How come a cow that is so big and so strong is controlled by the small bull nose ring?
After wearing the nose ring, tied a rope, the man led it, and the cow followed obediently.
It's amazing!
In the future, when you plow the land, you no longer need to carry a rope in front of you. You can replace it with a cow to pull the plow.
When a person pulls the plow, he is half tired and has bleeding on his shoulders, but the rice fields cannot be plowed much.
The cow is so big and so strong, it is perfect for a cow to overwhelm four or five people.
Thinking of the beauty, some tribe members smiled foolishly.
On this day, after the sacrifice.
The patriarch brought all the tribe members who were over six years old, and on the 150th day of the river to a piece of grass by the river.
This land has more than 40 acres, without trees or shrubs, and the terrain is also very suitable, neither high nor low.
Ye Qing chose this piece of land to be opened into a seedling field.
First mow the grass.
If it is autumn and winter, the grass withered and a fire will cause a lot of things to be missing.
Unfortunately, the season is summer now, and the weeds are growing lushly, and some grasses are taller than people.
Only cut.
Waving the stone sickle, stone knife, stone adze, the tribe members got busy.
The scene is extremely hot.
The ones who mowed the grass in front, the stone sickle and the stone knife waving back and forth, the grass leaves flying; the ones who dig grass roots in the back, the stone adzes, the bones rising and falling, and the dust flying.
The cut grass is not wasted. Choose straight, long, and straight bundle it into bundles and transport it back to the tribe, and keep it useful.
Other weeds and thorns are spread aside and exposed to the sun. After a few days, they are dried and burned into ashes by a fire. This is the best fertilizer.
Following Ye Qing's instructions, the clan leader divided the people into groups and started work from multiple locations at the same time, without gathering together in a swarm.
I got up early and went to bed late for three days, and the weeds and grass roots on this land were cleaned up.
Next, build the ridges of the fields and work hard.
There are plows when ploughing. In the past, three or four people needed to pull the plow with ropes in front.
Now it’s a cow. Even if the cow is not tamed, he can walk forward obediently by the person leading it in front, which saves a lot of effort.
People are much more relaxed.
Two days.
The whole piece of land was ploughed.
Next, solve the water problem.
Dig a trench from the upstream to divert water.
This is not a big job.
When choosing a location, Ye Qing carefully observed the terrain and did not need to build a dam to attract water, and there was a natural water potential drop.
After attracting water, the rice fields were soaked overnight.
The next day, everyone went to the field again and used all the tools they could use. Without tools, they stepped on them and pounded them into pieces of soil in the seedling field into delicate mud.
It all depends on manpower.
There is no rake or trellis, and there is no use if there is a cow.
Pull the cow into the field and step on it?
No, the more you step on the cow, it becomes stronger and stronger. With one hoof, it will become a strong pit, and it will take manpower to fill it up.
In the end, the cow can be used when it is leveled.
At this time, the soil in the field had been pounded into mud by the tribe members. If the cow's hooves were stepped on, the mud would be squeezed and would not be crushed, so the cow could go down the field.
In order to save manpower and speed up, Ye Qing also tried his best to think of a solution.
No rakes and trunks?
Then use thick wood!
He asked his tribe members to tie a thick log behind the cow and let the cow drag the large log to walk in the field.
The tribe members controlled the direction of the logs behind and tried to let the logs go horizontally. The logs swept across a piece of mud surface, thus smoothing the uneven mud surface.
Although it is much lower and too tired than rakes and tucks, it is also a time-saving method. At least, the efficiency is still several times higher than relying on manpower.
At this point, the rice fields have been reclaimed.
Then sow the rice seeds that have sprouted in advance and sow them densely.
Completed!
It took a total of...7 days!
These 7 days are the 7 days that make history.
Everyone was happy and worried when they looked at the finished rice fields. They had never planted rice in this season. They were unsure whether rice could grow and harvest like before.
For them, this is a helpless move in the absence of any situation, and it is better than doing nothing.
Ye Qing did not give everyone more time to sigh, and encouraged the patriarch to let everyone enter the next job.
...
Ye Qing did not follow him, he devoted himself to a pioneering work...
Smelting copper!
Refining bronze!
With bronze, the efficiency of creating bronze tools can be several times larger than the efficiency of reclaiming new fields.
It would be a dream to use only the simple wooden, bone and stone tools that are now made of, and in one month, hundreds of acres of paddy fields with irrigation systems were cultivated.
Even if you have a cow, you can't do it!
You know, at this time, there were dense trees and bushes in the wilderness. It was quite a lot of work to clear out hundreds of acres of open land.
A tree in the field, cut down with a stone axe, will take a day for a person.
It will take another day to dig out the roots of the tree.
This efficiency makes it possible to reclaim new fields?
Take a shower and go to bed!
Choose a place like the rice fields?
Sorry, no!
Seedling fields are an exception. Seedling fields are just a small area by the river. If you want to find a large area of flat land, haha... even if there are large areas of land, how dare you plant it?
I'm afraid it's not that the particles are not harvested!
Therefore, bronze tools must be created.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He collected beeswax from all the tribesmen's homes, and there were quite a lot, with more than twenty kilograms.
In addition, Shao Kangcai returned, a total of 50 kilograms.
Enough!
It seems that sweet honey is very attractive to the tribe members. The tribe members go to the honeycomb to collect honey when they have something to do, and even accumulate so much beeswax.
