The manure accumulated throughout the cold winter and the dung piled outside the tribe were quickly consumed. However, the tribe now has too few livestock, and the output cannot keep up with consumption. The cubs in charge of grazing are either little orcs without a form, or little Douding under the age of 6. It is good to be able to watch the livestock and prevent them from harming the surrounding white sweet melon fields. Wu Nuo arranged for the feces collection Dozens of old slaves who are too old to do heavy work do it. They only need to collect the feces that the livestock randomly pull on the ground into wooden buckets.

Through the method of cutting roots and cuttings, the tribe's white sweet potato planting area has expanded to nearly 10,000 mu. Because it is too late to open up wasteland, most of the white sweet potatoes can only be directly planted on the wasteland. Fortunately, the land around the Changhe tribe is fertile, and the vitality of the white sweet potatoes is quite strong. Almost all the white sweet potatoes have successfully taken root and survived.

In order to better manage and take care of these fields, Wu Nuo had to let the people who don't have a house temporarily set up tents in the specially vacated places around the fields. In this way, the scope of the tribe's resident area was expanded dozens of times at once.

The original residents of the Changhe Tribe live relatively concentrated because their houses have been fixed, while the newcomers are scattered around the Baidi melon fields. People from the same tribe or people who are close to each other prefer to set up tents together so that they can take care of each other.

Unknowingly, the distribution of the residents of the Changhe Tribe gradually took the shape of an ancient city and village.

A large number of white sweet potato fields have seriously encroached on the range of livestock grazing. The adults are busy managing the fields, and the grazing work is all done by the cubs. Even if the cubs are not afraid of tigers when they are newborn calves, they are willing to graze in the wasteland outside the tribe. They are still worried.

The range of activities of the livestock is limited to the downstream river beach next to the tribe. Fortunately, there are not many livestock, and they can't finish eating the weeds pulled out every day in the fields. The livestock have been kept in captivity for a whole winter, and no amount of wildness has been consumed by the life of eating, sleeping, and eating every day. There are fresh wild grasses to eat and sweet river water to drink every day. Strolling around the area, the newborn livestock cubs didn't think there was any problem in such a day at all, and the little fat on their bodies grew rapidly. It's just that occasionally when people stare at them, they also feel a chill down their spine.

The livestock became more and more obedient, and the work of herding became easier. The boys in charge of grazing have more to think about the newly acquired knowledge. When it's hot at noon, they can sneak into the river to take a bath, catch some fish along the way and get together for a sneaky extra meal. The boys have a particularly nourishing day.

For Wu Nuo, white sweet potato is not a staple food. In his heart, rice is a well-deserved staple food.

He successively traded nearly a thousand catties of grain seeds from Wang Sanhu, and bought nearly a thousand catties of original wheat seeds from the system.

He has seen relatives in the countryside grow rice. They have to soak the grain seeds in water to let them germinate, and then scatter them in the fields plowed repeatedly by oxen. After the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they are divided into paddy fields. . The rice planted in this way has a uniform distribution and high yield.

It's okay to sprout, just find a few big pots and put water to soak the grain seeds. But paddy fields are really a big problem.

The Changhe tribe has no paddy fields at all. The only place close to the paddy fields is a huge wetland in the lower reaches of the river, more than 10 kilometers away from the tribe. However, it is said that there will be a lot of water in the flood season, and the deepest water can be flooded adult belly.

During the flood season, if the accumulated water exceeds one meter, it is definitely impossible to grow rice. But Wu Nuo was not reconciled to giving up rice planting, and finally asked people to build a solid field ridge with soil and stones at a slightly higher foundation at the edge of the wetland. The deep and long river ditch is connected to the long river, and the river water can be directly used to irrigate the rice fields passing by.

After being busy for more than a month, I finally surrounded more than 200 acres of paddy fields. At this time, the seedlings were fully grown. I should have plowed the fields before planting rice, but there was no time. The dwarves have not arrived yet, and the system's price for iron plows is not generally high. Wu Nuo doesn't expect this thousand catties of grain seeds to feed a whole tribe. Without further fuss, people directly planted the grown seedlings into the paddy fields.

In contrast, planting wheat is much simpler than planting rice. Plant the seeds directly into the soil, apply a little fertilizer, and within a few days, small shoots will grow, and then they will change almost every day. The wastelands that were vacated in the village became one piece of green.

In addition to these two staple foods, Wu Nuo also planted various seasoning seeds that he managed to collect from tribal gatherings around the house.

These original species of plants are very vigorous, and with a little management, they will grow very well.

These wastelands have just been developed to grow crops. So far, no diseases have occurred, but pests cannot be avoided.

White sweet potato leaves are sweet, not only for animals, but also for bugs.

The large number of white sweet potato fields around the Changhe Tribe attracted a lot of bugs. Insects multiply especially rapidly in spring. Some insects can grow from two to hundreds of thousands in a month. When the people in charge of the fields find that some white sweet potato vines are eaten by insects so that they can't even see a leaf, His face turned pale with fright. Tremblingly, he reported the situation in the field to Wu Nuo and Da Wu. After Wu Nuo went to the field to check, he found that almost all these insects liked to eat the leaves of white sweet potatoes. For the time being, they haven't found any ones that hide in the soil and harm the roots of white sweet potatoes.

Wu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and when he returned, he asked the little lion cubs to drive the meat bird and lila beast to the white sweet potato field. Meat birds and lira beasts are omnivorous, but of course they prefer fat and tender meat insects to white sweet potato leaves. There are enough insects, and they don't even bother to harm white sweet potatoes.

Soon, the pests in the field were effectively suppressed. But the only bad thing is that the meat birds are quietly hiding their eggs in the field and hatching them. When everyone comes to their senses, they are already followed by a bunch of tender little meat birds; They are used to living underground, and they are not very big. Once they enter the white-spotted melon field, they completely disappear into the vast 'sea of ​​vines'. However, when everyone is weeding in the field, you can always see them with their cubs looking for bugs to eat. The lira beast.

When the work in the field came to an end, the prey brought back by Bai and the others became more and more abundant, and the number of edible wild vegetables and fruits in the forest increased day by day. Things such as collecting coal, burning bricks and tiles, building houses, and digging salt crystals were also put on the table. schedule.

The old people in the Dashi tribe survived because of the free dragon and beast meat, except for a few who died of old age and disease.

After Bai became the leader, he sent the three brothers Jin, Laner, and Baiwei back to the Dashi tribe quietly, and arranged for these old men to pick coal in the cursed land.

Now that the food was abundant, Bai arranged for some orc warriors from the original Dashi tribe, together with the warriors of the Changhe tribe, to drive the bullock cart, carrying a large amount of salt meat and some slaves back to the Dashi tribe.

If these old people are willing to come to the Changhe Tribe, they will be taken to the Changhe Tribe with the car. If they are not willing, they will be allowed to stay there. The tribe will send people to deliver food to them regularly, and they only need to help The tribe needs to pick up enough coal.

Elderly people with children in the Changhe Tribe are of course willing to reunite with their relatives, while those without children are more willing to stay in the place where they grew up.

Naturally, Jin would not force them to distribute the food to everyone, leaving the slaves to pick up coal with the old people, and then sent some of the coal to the place of death with a cart full of coal, and sent some back to the tribe.

With previous experience, by the time Jin and the others delivered the coal, the pure people working in the land of the dead had already made a lot of bricks, tiles, and some living utensils. Xing temporarily handed over the affairs of the Pure Human Legion to the deputy head. He urged everyone to build several large earth kilns. When the coal arrived, the new earth kilns had not been fully built, but the old earth kilns Only two can no longer be used due to landslides, and the others are fine.

Everything was ready, and soon, the team of bullock carts going back and forth between the three points of the Dashi Tribe, the Land of the Dead, and the Changhe Tribe brought more and more bricks, tiles, utensils, clay, coal and stones back to the tribe.

All the wood that everyone prepared earlier came in handy now, because there is no need to rush to work like before the cold winter, the preparation is more adequate, and the experience is enough. The newly built brick houses are obviously better than those built by the Changhe Tribe before. Well, even the wooden doors are figured out.

Looking at the brick and tile houses that are more beautiful than the old residents of the Changhe tribe, what dissatisfaction do the new residents have? Each of them can't wait to use their twelve strengths to serve the tribe.

The secret of blood salt spread intentionally or unintentionally after everyone painted the skull and animal heads of the Changhe Tribe. Everyone who had witnessed the miracle with their own eyes naturally believed in the fact that "blood salt is bestowed by the beast god" . While lamenting that the Changhe tribe is favored by the beast gods, many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone has a deep understanding of how greedy the Muyuan tribe who monopolized coarse salt is, and at the same time suffered from it. The current development momentum of the Changhe tribe will undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the Muyuan tribe. If the Muyuan tribe threatens with coarse salt, Changhe The tribe has only two options: compromise and resistance. No matter which one they choose, it is not what they want to see now.

But the Changhe tribe had the blood salt bestowed by the beast god, so it was different. The Muyuan tribe had nothing to restrain the Changhe tribe. In turn, the Changhe tribe could replace the Muyuan tribe with blood salt.

The crude salt of the Muyuan tribe has to spend a lot of materials to exchange it with distant super tribes, and the cost itself is not low, while the blood salt of the Changhe tribe only needs a little labor, and the cost is low but the quality is extremely high. If the Changhe tribe is willing to use a lower Trading the blood salt to the surrounding small and medium tribes will definitely attract a large number of allies.

At that time, why should the Muyuan tribe be afraid?

Just as Wu Nuo and Dawu expected, the leader of Muyuan Tribe and Dawu had gloomy faces for a long time after hearing Han Lun's report on Changhe Tribe. However, they have long been accustomed to restraining the surrounding tribes with coarse salt, and did not take any measures against the Changhe tribe immediately. Instead, they counted the materials exchanged at the last tribe gathering and sent the orc warriors to the distant super tribe. Swap for kosher salt.

This cold winter affected a wide range of disasters, and the super tribe that traded with the Muyuan tribe was also affected. Many people and livestock in the tribe froze to death. To make up for these losses, they decided to double the price of salt this year.

The orcs of the Muyuan tribe, who didn't know all this yet, rushed over excitedly with big bags and small bags of supplies and dreams of getting rich. The members of the Changhe Tribe who also didn't know all this looked at the tubes of blood salt distributed free of charge to every household, looked at the brick houses rising from the ground, looked at the white sweet potato vines fluttering in the wind, and laughed. You can see your teeth but not your eyes.
