Ye Qing was very satisfied with the new changes that appeared in the tribe.

Active transactions between tribesmen can promote tribe development and inspire tribesmen to more creativity.

Seeing that the tribe members used cloth and rice as general equivalents for exchange, he was considering whether he should issue currency.

However, there are more important things to do at present, and the issuance of currency can only be pushed back.

What is important?

Refining the land.

Nearly 8,000 newly relocated tribe members have no rice fields yet.

This matter is the top priority.

Some tribes are already familiar with the land reclamation work, and there is also this complete set of procedures.

The newly relocated tribe, led by the experienced old Fangfeng clan, rushed to the wilderness and began to reclaim rice fields.

The reason why rice fields are cultivated until this time is to pursue efficiency.

When they first moved to the Fangfeng tribe, although the season had already entered autumn, the plants and trees had not yet withered, so the work of clearing the land was very difficult.

Now this season has passed the beginning of spring, and all the plants and trees have withered. It is much more convenient to burn the wasteland to reclaim new fields.

When burning the wasteland, there is no need to dig out the isolation belt or something.

The surrounding mineral wilderness is full of swamps.

The dense water networks divide the wilderness into natural pieces.

The work of burning wasteland only requires igniting the grass and trees on this piece of land without worrying about the spread of the fire and the fire cannot be controlled, which will cause a fire.

The number of rice fields reclamation is based on two acres per tribe.

It’s not that we can’t cultivate more.

In this era, there is a lot of land, and you can cultivate as much as you want.

The reason for reclamation based on the standard of two acres of rice fields per person is from the perspective of manpower.

One person has two acres of rice fields, and the average family of five is ten acres. This is the most suitable planting area that manpower can manage under the productivity of this era.

No matter how large the area is, it cannot be managed, and the reclaimed cannot generate profits, which is also a waste.

This time, the construction of the irrigation system was much simpler when the rice fields were reclaimed.

The backbone of artificial rivers, moats, etc. is ready-made, so the work needed is to dig some ditches that bring water into rice fields.

In this way, the workload will be much smaller.

The progress of reclamation is much faster than last year.

In addition to rice fields, dry land is also needed.

The dry land in the city is occupied by a large number of people who have newly relocated to make residential land.

And now that the number of tribesmen is increasing, we also need to reclaim corresponding dry land.

The city is mainly about living, and there is not enough place, so a large amount of dry land is cultivated in the wild.

It is also very convenient to reclaim dry land in the wild.

In the wilderness, sandbanks with small and small terrain are useful.

After the weeds and shrubs on these sandbanks were burned out by a fire, the tribe members waved their hoes and picks to clear out all the grass roots, tree roots and stones.

After renovation and leveling, it became a piece of dry land, which was much simpler than the reclamation of rice fields.

The number of dry land, per capita, has also increased significantly compared to last year.

In addition to maintaining the per capita hemp and soybean planting volume last year, Yeqing is also preparing to add new crops to grow.

Shaokang and others brought the seeds of millet back from Jiangbei, and Ye Qing wanted to try planting them.

He knew that the yield of millet was not as good as rice, and the taste was not as good as rice.

However, as one of the five grains, the advantages of millet are also extremely obvious.

Especially in the primitive era when planting technology was underdeveloped and productivity was low, millet could be said to be the best food crop.

Milk is a dry land crop and can be planted in higher terrain.

In this way, when floods occur, rice will be flooded and millet can be supplemented.

This greatly enhances the tribe's ability to resist disasters.

On the other hand, millet has a strong vitality and a small demand for water. Planting is very simple and does not require careful management by manpower. Extensive planting can be adopted.

This is very suitable for tribes with insufficient manpower.

Anyway, there are a lot of dry land without water, so it is just a lot of land renovated.

In addition to planting millet, Yeqing is also preparing to plant forage.

Is Ye Qing stupid to plant grass in the primitive era?

Not.

Planting grass is to raise cattle.

There are more and more cattle in the tribe, and herding is a big problem.

Ye Qing arranged various jobs during the slack farming period of his tribe.

Herding cattle is an extremely inefficient thing.

Even if it is allowed to let children who do not have much ability to work to herd cattle, the same is true.

Ye Qing believes that spending children's time on herding cattle is also an extremely wasteful act.

He planned to live a year or two, and after the tribe's planning and construction work came to an end, the lives of the tribe's people also stabilized and he would start to implement a large-scale education work.

Education for children in tribes is the top priority.

By then, he would definitely gather all the children to educate them, and it would not be possible to spend the best study time in cattle grazing.

The word "herd boy" seems to be difficult to produce in the tribe.

The word schoolchild should become popular quickly.

You can also raise pigs and geese when planting grass.

But there are no cows, otherwise, he would rather raise cows.

I don’t know if buffalo can cultivate varieties that specialize in producing milk, but you can try it in the future.

Forage planting is very worry-free, and it is even more worry-free than growing millet.

But there is the most critical technique in the middle to grow cattle.

Without this technology, this plan will not work.

Why did nomadic peoples in history keep wandering and unable to settle down?

The fundamental reason is that this technology is missing.

This technology is the silage technology of forage grass.

With silage technology, there are delicious, juicy, nutritious feed all year round, so there is no need to rush the cattle to graz.

Ye Qing had never been exposed to such jobs as silage in his previous life.

However, he has learned about the principles and production process from relevant information.

Silage technology is extremely simple to say.

Knowing the principle and the production process, even if you did not make silage yourself, Ye Qing believed that after repeated experiments, he could finally find the correct method.

In the wild, he also discovered several types of weeds that can be planted as forage, but he was not sure about what the varieties of this era were like.

Therefore, at the beginning, he could only conduct a small number of experiments, plant a batch separately, see the final results, and then expand the planting.

The number of tribesmen increased, the number of rice fields increased, and there were not enough cattle. Therefore, people were needed to send people out to find the buffalo herds and catch more buffaloes.

This time, Ye Qing did not mobilize his tribe members when he arrested the buffalo.

There are no buffaloes near the tribe.

If you want to catch the buffalo, you can only look for it further away.

According to the information provided by each tribe, he dispatched two hundred Dragon Armor soldiers, grouped one hundred people into two teams, and moved in two directions.

The disciplined Dragon Armor soldiers are much more efficient than the casual tribe members.

After discovering the buffalo herd, the arrest operation carried out by 200 Dragon Armor soldiers was very smooth and the results were extremely rich.

In twenty or thirty days, several buffalo herds from far and near were captured.

The tribe's land reclamation work and the future rice fields planting have enough buffaloes.
