Chapter 165

After the completion of xingzaohu, ye Xi began to plan farmland.

With the crops, the people in the picking teams no longer have to risk their lives to go into the jungle to pick fruit. Moreover, it can provide a stable source of fruits and vegetables for the tribe, and will not fail to harvest due to natural disasters or other factors.

Ye Xi circled a large area of land on the edge of the valley and set fire to burn all the grass on the land. Then he called all the men of the tribe to come over and let them use the newly made hoe to loosen the soil.

There is no metal here, so the head of the hoe is made of stone, but the edge is very sharp, which is similar to iron hoe.

The soil here is black and fertile. It looks very soft when it is loosened by hoe and mixed with grass ash.

Ye Xi didn't plant land himself. He just watched his grandfather do it. His grandfather told him that it only took eight steps to plant the land: ploughing, harrowing, ditching, leveling, ditching, fertilizing, sowing and furrow.

Now that the arable land has been completed, there are only seven steps left.

Ye Xi taught them one by one. In the future, these slaves will be in charge of this field. However, in order to prevent them from being lazy, a Tu Shan man will be appointed to supervise them.

Sweet potato seedlings are planted into the field one by one.

When the last sweet potato seedling is finished, the soldiers who went out to dig white fruit trees just came back.

More than ten soldiers each carried a small white fruit tree on their shoulders - the roots of those big trees were too deep, and it was very difficult to carry them, so they all dug up small white fruit trees.

Cangpan put down the white fruit tree on his shoulder and joked, "the soldiers of this family's tribe are carrying prey on their shoulders, but our tribal soldiers are carrying trees."

Ye Xi took over the white fruit tree seedling, found that the root of the tree was not damaged. After that, he put down his heart, looked at the storage plate and said, "OK, the white fruit tree will grow well in the future, so that you can eat the first white fruit."

Cangpan touched his head and the soldiers all laughed.

After a while, another wave of soldiers returned. They brought back more pepper, lettuce, purple fruit trees, and even the big Chinese toon tree on Xiaotu mountain.

We all work together to plant these fruits and vegetables.

After all this, it's getting dark.

Ye Xi set up a wooden frame beside the farmland.

During the migration, he found a kind of edible fruit.

This fruit is red, similar in shape and taste to previous generations of mango, but it grows on the vine, and there are large clusters of flowers similar to Wisteria on the vine, which is fragrant. When ye Xi digs it, it is attacked by many bees.

Ye Xi planted the red mango vine and wrapped it on the wooden frame by hand.

Looking at the shelf wrapped with vines, ye Xi felt a sense of satisfaction and expectation.

Although they are sparse now, he believes that in half a year, these vines will climb the whole shelf.

If it grows well, he can build a shed with wood and let the red mango vine climb over the whole shed. In this way, in summer, the wood shed will be covered with purplish red flower waterfall, and sometimes hung with plump red mango. It must be very beautiful.

By the time he gets old, the red mango vine must be very prosperous. Then he can make a cane chair and put it under the shed. In summer, he can lie down on it and smell the fragrance of flowers and fruits. It's so beautiful.

"Ye Xi, you see, we caught two female goats!" Someone was shouting in the distance.

Ye Xi woke up from his fantasy and looked at the sound.

Li Tu came to him with a sheep on his back, and a strong soldier beside him also carried a bleating female goat on his shoulder.

As soon as ye Xi's eyes brightened, he strode over and looked at the goat on Lidu's shoulder and said, "put it down."

The poor ewe was shouldered all the way to the ground and fainted for a while before she wanted to run.

Ye Xi quickly pressed it down, and took a cane, put it on its neck, and led it to the sheep pen.

Yes, he specially fenced a piece of land and used it as a sheep pen for the tribe.

In fact, the grassland in this valley is luxuriant, and the area is large enough for large-scale animal husbandry. The wild cattle, deer and so on can be raised in captivity. Even after a few years, the tribe can feed on the livestock without hunting.

However, ye Xi only planned to raise female goats. He even prohibited the tribesmen from slaughtering them for meat. Usually, he only milked the goats for the children of the tribe.

Because once soldiers don't go hunting, their force value will degenerate. Soldiers without actual combat experience are equivalent to wolves without claws.

Ye Xi had considered this point before. Later, he saw that since the tribe moved to the relatively comfortable snow mountain, not only soldiers had dropped sharply, but even witches had disappeared, so he became more vigilant.

So ye Xi was very careful. Even if he raised them, he only raised some milk producing creatures, such as goats. I'm afraid that the abundant food makes the tribal soldiers lazy and feel that they have enough food to eat even if they don't hunt.However, crops don't matter. No matter how many vegetables and fruits, the tribesmen's desire for meat can't be restrained. Driven by instinct, soldiers will still hunt as actively as before.

Of course, there is another reason why it takes so much trouble to raise these female goats. That is, if there is unrest, the meat of these ewes will ensure that no one in the tribe will starve to death in the event of famine.

Baa, baa, baa

As soon as these goats entered the pen, they ran around in panic, but they couldn't break through the fence. It took a long time to settle down and eat grass obediently.

The soldiers dug everywhere for the goats, the slaves were busy farming, and the ordinary people in the family were not idle. Carrying wood on their backs, they climbed to the top of the mountain again and again to build a watchtower.

Although this valley has a superior geographical environment, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also necessary to set up fortifications.

So ye Xi suggested that the chieftain should set up a lookout tower on each of the four hills in the southeast and northwest, and arrange for the tribesmen to take turns in the watchtower.

On the top of the mountain, the situation outside the valley can be seen at a glance. If there is an enemy invasion, it can be found out quickly.

Considering that the mountain is steep and it takes a long time to climb the mountain, ye Xi made some whistles. In case of emergency, as long as the watchman blows his whistle hard on the lookout tower, the people below will hear the whistle and immediately get ready for battle.

When the whistle was just made, the tribesmen were very novel. They all wanted to blow the whistle. They fought with each other fiercely. The valley was filled with sharp whistles for a time.

Later, ye Xi couldn't bear to be disturbed. He ruled that no one was allowed to whistle except for the enemy's situation.
