The Caveman Made Me Awesome

Chapter 456 Spring Sowing

In the soft spring rain.

A few huge long beetles kept churning and rolling in the moist soil, sometimes burrowed into the ground, and sometimes vacated the ground with wet mud, plowing the land non-stop.

In the process of maneuvering, they also opened their mouthparts full of sharp teeth, swallowed the soil into their stomachs, and then excreted it quickly, making the soil more fertile.

The originally solid loess ground became softer and more fertile, becoming like a "field".

Ye Xi was in a good mood watching these long insects burrowing into the soil.

I thought to myself, it was a wise choice to keep them. These long insects are still quite useful, equivalent to a giant tiller plus a fertilizer machine, which saves a lot of manpower and makes farming a lot easier.

Also, I finally have time to spare for farming!

Jiugong's farmland stretches into the sea, forming a piece of gold. One day, their farmland in Xicheng will be so spectacular!

Ye Xi took a deep breath, full of confidence.

Guessing that it was almost done, he said, "Okay, let's take them away."

"yes!"

Several Zhi tribe slaves immediately controlled the long Zhi insects to leave.

Ye Xi nodded to the Emei people, and the Emei people immediately understood, picked up a few huge animal skin bags and walked towards the field.

These bags of animal skins are filled with aphid feces, and the Aphid people are not too dirty, so they directly take out a lot of them with their hands, and spread them evenly on the farmland.

Aphid feces can promote plant growth and shorten the growth time, which is a rare good thing.

After the aphid feces were scattered, Ye Xi ordered everyone to rake the soil with bone plows, stone hoes, bone nail rakes and other tools, and then ditch and piling up the field ridges.

The last step is the highlight of farming - sowing the seeds.

Ye Xi entrusted the tribal people to do this task.

Each of these tribesmen carried a large animal skin bag on their waists, and began to sow seeds with high spirits and solemn faces.

The appearance of them sowing is quite interesting. While sowing, they sing and chant songs in their mouths, while dancing in circles, grabbing a handful of seeds like sprinkling water and throwing them out.

The last tribesman held a large wooden bucket full of soil,

Responsible for spreading the soil to the seeds, at the same time, his lips are slightly opened and closed, and he doesn't know what he is muttering.

Ye Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

He originally thought that the tribal people had some special seeding skills, but he didn't expect to see a scene similar to the dance of the Great God...

But he didn't let the tribal people go down. After all, they looked so solemn, as if they were doing a very sacred thing. Calling them down like this hurts their hearts too much.

It was noon when all the fields were sown.

This kind of tribal people danced very hard, sweat dripped from their foreheads when they stepped back, but there was a sense of pride in completing a certain important task on their faces, and they looked at Ye Xi eagerly with their big eyes open.

This is to invite credit.

Ye Xi: "..."

What can he say, he can only perfunctorily praise them for doing a good job.

Although the tribal people's way of planting seeds is very bleak, Ye Xi is still in a very happy mood. Looking at the newly opened large field, he counted with his fingers.

The seeds sown this time were all carefully selected, and there were more than 20 kinds of crops planted in the end.

There are toon seeds, giant lettuce seeds, barley seeds, red mango kernels, pepper seeds, pepper seeds, sweet potato stems brought from Tushan...

And garlic seedlings, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum seeds, and soybeans brought from Jiugong.

Another kind of tribesman also brought chestnuts, and various wild vegetable seeds, by the way, there is also a seed of oil crops!

Ye Xi has never seen this kind of oil crop before. It grows on trees. The fruit is about the size and shape of a cherry. It is light yellow in color and rich in oil. The pressed oil has a pleasant fragrance. It's called oil beans.

Since then, Xicheng also has vegetable oil.

But among the assortment of crops, the crop that Ye Xi is most looking forward to is soybeans.

With soybeans, tofu, bean curd, miso, bean sprouts, tempeh, soy milk, bean curd, yuba... and the most important soy sauce, all can be made!

He's been eating meat for a year, and now he's salivating at the thought of vegetables.

Driven by delicious food, since the seeds were sown, Ye Xi came to inspect the fields every day to see if there were any new sprouts emerging.

I don't know if the seeds felt Ye Xi's urgency. After a week, the sprouts of the oil bean emerged from the soil first.

A large piece of immature, green buds are dotted in the field, which looks very cute.

After another period of time, other crops also pulled out their buds one after another.

To Ye Xi's surprise, the germination rate of the entire field was very high. I don't know if it's because of the tenacity of the seeds, or because of the fertile soil, or because of the miraculous sowing skills of the tribesmen.

Since these buds were pulled out of the ground, they immediately grew rapidly, almost one by one, like a competition, who grew taller and stronger than anyone else.

Every time Ye Xi came to the field to look at the vigorously growing crops, he would feel very satisfied and full of expectations for the future.

However, he is the leader of Xicheng and the most powerful fighter in Xicheng, there are too many things waiting for him to do, so after sending someone to guard the field, Ye Xi began to arrange other things.

First came the hunt.

After a whole winter of consumption, the food stored in Xicheng's cellar has bottomed out, and there is an urgent need for a large amount of food to replenish.

After the spring, the hunting team almost came out in full force, bringing back batch after batch of prey from the deep mountains.

Food is the most important thing related to survival, Ye Xi also contributed together, leading an elite hunting team to hunt in deeper and more dangerous mountains, helping Xicheng's cellar to be filled as soon as possible.

After the food crisis eased, Ye Xi immediately put on the schedule the task of perfecting the architecture of Xi City.

Before the big winter, everyone just paved the stone house and the ground, even the city wall was only half built, and no other functional buildings were started at all.

The city wall has always been built by the slaves, and this Ye Xi has given the full authority to the Chief Gongtao to watch over it, and Ye Xi no longer takes care of it.

He is now mainly responsible for presiding over the construction of other functional buildings.

Now Ye Xi plans to build three giant buildings first.

One is the young tower.

In the future, many female slaves will give birth to newborn babies. These newborn babies need to be brought up together. The space of the stone house is too small, which is not conducive to centralized management, and the conditions of the cave are too simple to live in, so a tall tower needs to be built.

The second is the watchtower.

Although there are falcons always on guard around Xicheng, people cannot relax their vigilance. A watchtower built on the top of the hill is indispensable. After the building is completed, Ye Xi will use high-purity Iceland stone to polish it into a telescope, so that the soldiers guarding the sentry can see farther.

The third is the Colosseum.

This colosseum is mainly prepared for the soldiers and reserve soldiers of Xicheng.

The field inside will be divided into two, and half will be used for skill training. You can practice bows and arrows, wrestling, and throwing spears in it, and there will also be elite fighters who will guide you.

The other half is the beast arena. At that time, the hunting team will catch some characteristic beasts, fierce beasts, and giant insects, and give them to the soldiers and reserve soldiers for actual combat to improve their actual combat capabilities.

In this way, the training field cannot be made too small, after all, the field inside has to be divided into two.

Ye Xi didn't want to spend time planning by himself, so he decided to build it according to the ancient Roman Colosseum, and the ancient Roman Colosseum covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters, so it will be a very huge project.

Fortunately, after the great sacrifice, there were many more soldiers in Xicheng.

The strength of ordinary people is also amazing.

Ye Xi reckoned that if everything goes well, all three giant buildings can be completed within a year.
