I am a Primitive Man

In the newly opened paddy fields in Jinguan City, the rice planted is growing very well.

When Han Cheng led his people away from here, the paddy fields that seemed sparse were now much denser.

The seedlings planted at that time not only grew a lot in size, but also had a lot more leaves, and some of them started to reproduce outside.

Looks a lot like that.

In some places where the soil is relatively fertile, the rice that grows appears to have dark green leaves. If there are no accidents, there will definitely be a good harvest when it comes time to harvest.

In the rice field, there are some fish swimming happily, flicking their tails.

Sometimes it will float to the surface of the water to eat grass blades, dust and other things floating on the water surface.

People living in Jinguan City, according to Han Cheng's instructions, also often get some grasses whose roots have been cut off and throw them into the paddy fields to feed the fish.

After the fish eat the grass, the feces formed can be used to fertilize the fields and promote the growth of rice.

As for the grass that is not eaten by fish, it can also fertilize the field after decay.

Of course, even if this is the case, you can't throw too much grass into the rice field at one time.

Because the rotting grass will consume the oxygen in the water and pollute the water source.

It doesn't matter if the number is small, if the number is large, many fish in it will have no way to survive.

Han Cheng knew this very well, because it was a very painful experience.

When Han Cheng was a child, there was a boom in growing shiitake mushrooms in his hometown.

At that time, their shiitake mushrooms had already made a name for themselves, and it was said that some of them had already been exported.

At that time, being able to export and earn foreign exchange was a great thing.

Growing shiitake mushrooms is far more profitable than growing crops.

In such a wave, Han Cheng's family also planted shiitake mushrooms with several families in the village.

After working from dawn to dusk and working hard for a year,

Not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a lot of money.

It's not that I didn't pay attention, that I didn't have enough strength, or that the harvest of shiitake mushrooms was not good, but because the price of shiitake mushrooms plummeted that year.

The reason for this is that some smart people at that time put steel balls or iron bars into the legs of the mushrooms before picking them up and putting them on the mushroom kang to turn them into dried mushrooms.

In this way, after the mushroom kang is dried, these things will stay in it, and no flaws can be seen.

Such a thing can only benefit for a while, but it is impossible to benefit for a lifetime.

As soon as word of mouth got bad, more than half of the previous purchasers stopped coming, and then they quit...

Han Cheng's family also planted that year.

However, the shiitake mushrooms are no longer grown, and some of the infrastructure built when the shiitake mushrooms were grown are still there.

For example, the pool used to soak the mushroom bags.

The pool is made of bricks, and the inside and outside are carefully coated with cement, so the waterproof effect is still good.

So, I put a few loads of mud in it, added some water, buried a few lotus roots in it, and planted lotus flowers in it.

Later, when there was more water inside, some fish and shrimp were put into it to let them grow in it.

Of course, these fish and shrimps were all caught by Han Cheng from the small river.

Instead of using something as advanced as a fish cage, the two ends of a section of the area were directly blocked, and the water inside was poured out one by one with a washbasin.

The big ones were eaten at home, and the small ones were raised in the mushroom pond.

The thinking of children is always different from the thinking of adults.

Han Cheng's parents felt uncomfortable because they lost money for growing shiitake mushrooms at home, but the children in the village envied Han Cheng's family for having a big pond that could grow lotus and fish.

Han Cheng himself is proud of this matter.

The tragedy happened when Han Cheng was in the first year of junior high school.

Thinking that after entering junior high school, he would not be able to feed the fish every day as before. He was worried that the fish would be hungry, so Han Chengcheng got a lot of grass and threw it into the pond to feed the fish.

The result of this is that after returning from five days in junior high school, the water in the mushroom pond stinks, and all the fish are dead...

Below the paddy fields, no farmland has been developed.

On the one hand, because Han Cheng wanted to hit the power, he first built the outer wall of Jinguan City to be similar.

On the other hand, it is summer and there is a lot of rain. It is not easy to open up paddy fields in such a season. The canals built temporarily to collect the river water and divert the river are easily washed away by the water, consuming manpower in vain. Material...

Farther away from the bustling Jinguan City, some people in the tribe who are good at digging traps and hunting are digging and setting up traps there, preparing to hunt prey.

In some places farther away, people with weapons on their backs and bows and arrows in their hands are walking carefully, looking for prey and preparing to hunt.

These are all people from the Qingque tribe arranged by Han Cheng, hunting there to obtain food for everyone in the Qingque tribe.

For the current Jinguan City, food is the most deadly problem. Just relying on the food they brought with them when they left the Qingque main tribe really couldn't last for too long.

After all, just on the way here, more than half of the goods they carried had already been consumed.

The remaining food cannot last for too long.

Therefore, under the guidance of Han Cheng, Jinguan City started the journey of obtaining food by all means while taking into account various things such as building walls.

Traps, fish cages, fishing nets, rabbit sets, bows and arrows were used one after another.

Even some places where birds are easy to fly by are set up with nets to catch those birds that fly by and make them into food.

Many birds are not big in size and don't have much meat on their bodies.

However, this is not a reason to be let off by the Qingque tribe.

No matter how small it is, there is always some flesh on its body.

After processing it, cook it together with wild vegetables, the taste is still much better than pure wild vegetables.

The Qingque tribe basically does not support idlers, unless they are really unable to do work, otherwise they will definitely be assigned to some work.

The same is true for those who came to Jinguan City with Han Cheng.

Under the control of Han Cheng, the unscrupulous son of God, these people who came to Jinguan City basically did not have much rest, and had already devoted themselves to all kinds of labor.

It's impossible to do otherwise, after all, there are many things to be busy here.

And what people are most afraid of is being idle, as long as they are idle, troubles will easily arise.

It is also because of this that at this time, there is such a busy scene in the Jinguan City of the Qingque Tribe.

Such busyness appears to be very effective.

As everyone was busy, many igloos appeared in the inner courtyard of Jinguan City. Together with the slave huts outside, all the people were temporarily settled down.

The wall outside Jinguan City has also improved somewhat. More than half of the foundation has been burned into pottery by the people of the tribe with firewood and other things.

All kinds of food were collected by people from all directions to Jinguan City, and entered the belly of everyone...

Because food is relatively tight now, Han Cheng also made some arrangements to deal with the current situation.

In terms of the principle of eating food, it is still similar to the way from Jinguan City.

Eat as much food as possible from the surroundings, and try not to use the millet and other things brought from Jinguan City.

These are the existences that Han Cheng regards as food reserves.

In terms of food consumption, it is no longer as before, allowing people to let go of their stomachs to eat, but a general standard has been formulated.

One standard for adults and one standard for minors were quantified.

At the beginning, when I was in high school, the ideological and political teacher liked to repeat a sentence when talking about economic life.

Han Cheng remembered this sentence very clearly - spending money is an art, and saving money equals increasing income.

Han Cheng felt that this sentence was very correct, especially after growing up, he felt that this sentence was more correct.

Because he remembered it clearly and agreed with it very much, all Han Chengcheng put it to good use, and applied it to the food in the tribe very skillfully.

When food is not sufficient, this kind of policy similar to wartime is still very good to use.

Of course, throttling alone is not enough, and open source is also needed to cooperate.

After all, if we do not open source, the total amount of food will be stored here, and no matter how we save it, we will not be able to save much.

In addition to hunting, collecting wild vegetables, and catching fish and shrimp by yourself, there is another important open source method.

This method is to turn the food of other tribes into their own.

Han Cheng didn't want people from the Qingque tribe to go to the surrounding tribes to snatch their food. He would never touch this line as long as there were other solutions.

After all, being a human being always has some bottom line.

Of course, this is based on other solutions.

If things cannot be done, and there is really no other solution, then that is another matter.

What Han Cheng said was to use pottery and salt produced by his own tribe to exchange food from other tribes through trade.

At the beginning, Han Cheng thought about coming here and announcing that the rest of the tribes could use different stones in exchange for pottery, salt, etc. of their own tribe, so that through this method, they could find sulfur, coal and other things as quickly as possible. .

Now that he came here, facing such a situation, Han Cheng could only temporarily keep these things in his heart and ignore them.

Sulfur, saltpeter, coal, etc. are important, but when food is in short supply, compared with food, they are still far inferior to food.

Only by concentrating all his strength to pass the current difficult time, Han Cheng will announce to the older female primitive people that they can use stones for exchange.

The business of trade has actually been going on here in Jinguan City.

For example, the older female primitives who were fooled by him into the road of second-hand traffickers, and the hunchbacked primitives of the nest tribe, they are all using their methods to earn food for the Qingque tribe.

In the past, this method was not bad, and a lot of food could be obtained.

But now, after the food in the tribe has become more tense, it seems a bit insufficient.

So Han Cheng wants to do other things.

This matter is to re-establish the trade team of the Qingque Tribe, so that Mao, the former trade master, will once again lead the team and lead the people in the tribe to use salt, pottery, etc. from the surrounding tribes for his own tribe. In exchange for food.

Compared with the ways of obtaining food in this era such as hunting and gathering, the food obtained by exchange is still more and faster.

The last time Han Cheng came, it was because there were not enough people, and he wanted to build the inner courtyard as soon as possible, and the pressure of food was not so great, so Han Cheng cultivated the older ones. The female primitive people are second-class dealers in their group.

Now the situation has changed. With these thousands of people in place, Jinguan City is no longer as short of manpower as it was before.

On the contrary, due to the increase in population, there is a lot of pressure on food, so the countermeasures have also changed.

People from their own tribe personally formed a trade team, marched towards the surrounding tribe, and traded with those tribes around the tribe.

Compared with being a wholesaler, you have to earn more, after all, there is no middleman making the difference.

And there is another advantage of doing this, that is, in the process of trade, the surrounding tribes can be continuously assimilated.

Just like the previous Blue Sparrow Alliance.

After a long period of operation, it is not impossible for a replica of the Qingque League to appear around Jinguan City.

It's time...

Thinking about this, Han Cheng looked at the bustling Jinguan City, with a smile on his face.

When the time comes, the tribe will definitely become more prosperous than it is now!

With previous successful cases, Han Cheng became more confident when doing these things again.

However, the fact that their own tribe has started to conduct direct transactions does not mean that there will be no need for the older female primitives and their second-hand traffickers in the future.

After all, the world is wide enough. When one's own tribe starts to take the initiative to trade with other tribes around, it can also accommodate the older female primitives to trade with other tribes.

Saying this sounds very noble, but in fact, the real reason is that the food and other things brought by the older female primitive people are very impressive.

This stinky and shameless son of God is the food delivered from a glutton's house...

After finalizing these matters, after some repeated thinking, and after confirming that there was no major problem, Han Chenggong went to find Mao.

Mao, a talented family guy, has become darker now. When Han Cheng found him, he was with the people in the tribe, where he was using tools to ram the earth.

This person, who is about the same age as the second senior brother, doesn't look as young as before now, showing a little old.
