Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The weather was getting warmer and the air was damp, but when the sun came out, that dampness was gone.

Shao Xuan took the small bag of millet down the mountain and went to the field set out by the tribe to find someone to discuss.

A few days ago, he asked an old man in the tribe who was good at farming. Today, he intends to bring the millet to the old man to see and seek some opinions and suggestions.

Farming Shao Xuan knew, but after coming to this world, he didn't know most of the plants, because these had never appeared in another world. Not only that, but when he came to this world, in the past few years, he finally got to know them well. After coming to this continent, Shao Xuan became "blind" again. Although he has some knowledge, the main crops here are somewhat different from those that Shao Xuan is familiar with, and their growth habits are also different. Very big difference, Shao Xuan can only seek advice from experienced people.

Most of the tribe's fields are at the foot of the mountain, from the mountainside down to the foot of the mountain, and each piece is divided into pieces, and each piece is planted by several families.

Shao Xuan came to the field near the foot of the mountain. Sitting beside the field was an old woman with silver hair. Her name was Qiqi, and her mother was from the Taihe tribe. The Taihe tribe is better at planting than the Yanjiao tribe, and has a better grasp of many techniques, so Qiqi himself knows more about planting. People who are busy in this field often come to ask her questions.

"Here." Seeing Shao Xuan, Xi Qi got up quickly. In many tribes, people of higher status must be respected and salute. The Yanjiao side will also have such etiquette on important occasions, but it is usually more casual.

Qi Qi obviously still felt that she had to salute the elder Shao Xuan, but she was stopped by Shao Xuan before she got up.

Shao Xuan didn't say much, just took out the bag and poured out a few grains inside. He said to Qi Qi, "This, take a look."

Qi Qi's attention immediately shifted to the few dark golden grains in Shao Xuan's hands. It was a grain she had never seen before.

After taking a closer look, Xi Qi shook his head: "This is the first time I have seen such millet. Is this the 'thousand grains of gold' you speak of?"

"Yes, that's it."

Shao Xuan told Qi Qi about the place where he would find a thousand grains of gold. Therefore, after thinking about it, Xi Qi suggested that Shao Xuan find a place similar to the place where he found it, which would be safer. No one knew what the growth environment of such a plant would be like. All kinds of plants, some like the sun, some like the shade, and some like the humidity. Some like drought, can not be generalized.

"However, elder, you can also plant a little in every place, and when the time comes, see which place grows well, and then plant in that place in the future.

"Thinking that Shao Xuan said that these millets are extremely rare and precious, Xi Qi's words stopped.

Since it is rare and precious, how can she waste it like she tries other seeds? Just looking at the few dark golden grains of millet in Shao Xuan's hand, Xi Qi's heart also itch, for this kind of precious millet that he has never seen before. She also wanted to try it out. As someone who has been engaged in farming since childhood, the appeal of these few grains of millet is quite large, even if you have not eaten it. Just by looking closely and smelling the smell of millet, she can give a rough assessment.

Really very attractive!

However, Shao Xuan is an elder, and these millets are very precious, so it is not easy for her to ask for them.

Aware of Qi Qi's gaze, Shao Xuan thought about a thousand grains of millet in his hand, and then counted a hundred grains for Xi Qi: "If you are free, can you help me plant these grains?"

For someone with rich experience like Qiqi, let her help with planting. It also saves Shao Xuan a lot of things, which is better than Shao Xuan's chaotic tossing.

Qi Qi listened. He quickly assured: "Yes, yes! Elders rest assured, I will do my best!"

Saying that, Qi Qi took out a cloth bag. Carefully took the 100 grains of millet handed by Shao Xuan and put it in a bag. She decided to have a good discussion with a few farmers and plan it before implementing it. If the planting is successful, she will definitely get more benefits from Shao Xuan, but for Qi Qi herself, the most important thing is that she can try to plant such a rare thing, which will give her a sense of accomplishment.

After giving the millet to Xiqi, Shao Xuan looked at the people working in the fields. There were many types of farm implements that everyone used, including farming, watering, harvesting, threshing, etc. Many of them were slave owners from the six cities. What I learned over there plays a very important role in ploughing, sowing, cultivating, processing, etc., and these agricultural tools are mostly made of wood and stone. It is said that the slave owners used bronze tools, but only in the tribe. , Everyone is reluctant to use it, and it is also good to replace it with stones and animal bones.

After watching for a while, Shao Xuan went back to find some materials, slightly improved the farm tools everyone used, and also made a plow to facilitate everyone to reclaim the farmland.

The plough made by Shao Xuan, due to the limitation of tools, is a little simpler than the plan. It is also made of wood and stone. After several attempts, it is improved and perfected again, making the plow body lighter and easier to turn around. The operation is simple and the flexibility is satisfactory, so that the efficiency of farming will also be improved.

After making it, Shao Xuan went to show the farmers and taught them how to use it.

Maybe the slave owners already have similar farm tools, but the people in the tribe saw it for the first time. They felt it was new and at the same time they were very happy. Shao Xuan brought the plow and everyone surrounded it.

"Elder, what is this?"

"Can this be used for farming?" Everyone was curious.

A plough is an implement for tilling the land, generally speaking, it is tied to the livestock that pulls it, such as cattle. But there are no domesticated farm animals here, and they can only be pulled by manpower.

Fortunately, the people of the Yanjiao tribe are powerful, they are not inferior to cattle, and they can easily get started.

"That's it, use it to break the clods and plough out the trenches. During this time, everyone is busy and preparing for sowing. This plow should make it easier for everyone."

After the demonstration, Shao Xuan gave the plow to others to try out.

Many people wanted to try it, but unfortunately they were snatched by Ji Ling, the granddaughter of Qi Qi.

Ji Ling was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was as young as a beautiful flower. She had already awakened her totem power. She had only returned from hunting a few days ago, and it was not her turn to patrol now. When Shao Xuan came over with a plow, he tugged his sleeves and squeezed the others to the side, and began to pull like Shao Xuan, with another middle-aged woman cooperating behind.

Probably hit a stone in the ground, Ji Ling stopped temporarily, without using a knife, and directly reached out and dug out a large stone in the ground, without looking at it much, throwing her hand and throwing the stone far away .

Shao Xuan saw the stone the size of a winter melon draw an arc in the sky, flew over the river in front of the tribe, and fell far into the woods outside the tribe, startling a few birds. Turning her head to look at the field, Ji Ling was pulling the plow while sharing her experience of pulling the plow with several hunting team comrades who were eager to work next to her.

Shao Xuan: "..."

In this place, women are really like men, and men are like beasts.

The people who are usually busy in the fields are not all those who have not awakened to the power of totems. In many cases, some coolies are done by totem warriors. After all, there are not hunting and rotations every day. Shao Xuan thinks that Ji Ling is a waste of money. Ordinary girls will work in the fields like everyone else.

In the tribe, there are two kinds of people, one is the vulnerable group without the power of awakening totem, and the other is the warrior who awakens the power of totem.

Many people are busy planting seeds at this time. Shao Xuan only now knows that, in addition to the fields within the tribe, there are also people planting outside the tribe and in the forest on the other side of the river, but it is different from the fine planting within the tribe, which is in the forest. Everyone grows more casually, using the relatively primitive method of cultivating with fire sticks.

First cut down the weeds, rattan bushes, etc. in the forest, and then set fire to it. When the soil is wet after the rain, there is no ploughing or digging, that is, some plants are planted, and the burned grass and trees become the fertilizer for these seeds.

When sowing the seeds, the person walking in front first uses a spear or other tool to poke a hole in the ground, and the person behind will point the seed into the hole. After planting, there is little management. I only visit occasionally, or drive away birds and beasts. Anyway, their main source of food is hunting, followed by the fields within the tribe. Time is only, as long as you harvest more than you sown, you will be very satisfied. When the planted things are harvested, people will move to another place, and the original planted land will be idle, and it will take a few years or more before planting again. There are many forests here, and they can afford it.

Not in the fields or outside the tribe, Shao Xuan simply surrounded an open space of about 70 square meters with a wooden fence at the back of the house. After the initial preparation of the land, he planted 100 seeds.

The thousand grains of gold were discovered on the top of the mountain. Shao Xuan lives on the mountain, not far from the top of the mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is not safe for Shao Xuan to go to other mountains. There are too many birds and beasts on other mountains, and it is impossible for Shao Xuan to keep staring at them.

Mountains in different locations have different climates and geology, but Shao Xuan didn't think too much about it, he just tried it. Speaking of which, he was not very interested in the cultivation of thousand grains of gold, nor was he obsessed with it. It's natural to plant it, but if it can't be planted, he will cook the rest of the millet and eat it. After such a long time, he should be able to continue eating.

After a period of time, the seeds planted in the ground behind Shao Xuan's house sprouted. More than half of the 100 seeds sprouted. Shao Xuan was very satisfied with this.

But when Shao Xuan was called over by Qi Qi, he found that most of the millet they planted had grown two to three leaves, one hundred seeds, and the survival rate was over 90%. It is much better than the growth of Shao Xuan's backyard.

As expected of an old experience.

Shao Xuan was also happy to see those seedlings, no matter who planted them, it would be good if they could live.

Seeing the seedlings, Qi Qi and others are more interested. They go to see those seedlings every day when they have time. They find places on the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and plant ten seeds in each place. There are ten places in total. At this stage, , the seedlings at the foot of the mountain grow best.
