Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ? To open up frontiers and expand land, fell trees and burn mountains.

    In this huge mountain, the dense forest is the greatest enemy of the tribe. Countless poisonous insects and beasts hide in it, waiting for an opportunity to move. The exuberant flames and magnificent thunder and lightning have been driving away wild animals since ancient times.  The only weapon.

    Food must be accumulated as soon as possible!  No matter what it is, as long as it is not poisonous, it can be eaten!

    According to the standards from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, one liter is equivalent to 201 milliliters, one bucket is 2010 milliliters, and three liters is equivalent to one catty. However, a person eats two meals a day and does nothing, and eats about three liters.  There is a saying that "a family has ten thousand hectares of fields, and three liters of millet in a solar eclipse".

    This is only food, not including meat and vegetable consumption.

    Qin Yishi is equal to 120 catties.

    That is to say, even if a person does nothing and eats three liters of millet a day, he will consume nine stones a year. Taking the Qin Dynasty as an example, an adult man consumes a total of 18 stones of grain a year!

    "Hanshu Shihuozhi" comes from the records of Li Kui, the ancestor of the Legalists. During the Warring States period, the ration of a family of five was ninety shi for a year, and the average per capita was eighteen shi.

    However, the Akakata family now only has more than two hundred shi of grain. If they only rely on these surplus grains, they will not be able to last for one-third of a month.

    Even if calculated according to the lowest consumption, in terms of nine stones, a tribe of one thousand people, if not evenly distributed, would need 500 to 900 stones of food a month to maintain the normal survival of one thousand people!

    Although the fur whip is tightened again, and the food for the old and the young is halved and then halved, it will only take less than half a month more, but the key is, if it is maintained to this point, what is the difference from waiting to die?

    People have no strength, how to get food?

    Hunting and catching fish, plowing land and cutting trees, who can do it without food?

    In later generations, a normal person will need 250 grams of staple food for a meal, not counting the consumption of other meat, vegetables and fruits!  And in the current situation, if the rations of young and middle-aged people are reduced, it will undoubtedly lead the tribe to a desperate road!

    In this group of peaks and thousands of miles, where ferocious beasts and poisonous dragons haunt the Nanshan Great Wilderness, there are only so few people in the tribe, and there is not much food!

    One month, one month at the top of the sky, even if it is planted now, it will take two or three months at the earliest to mature and harvest, and it will take more than half a year for a long time. By then, the people in the tribe will have starved to death!

    The stone ax thumped, rubbing and colliding with the solid bark!

    The teenagers are sweating profusely. They are cleaning up the site here. Burning mountains does not conflict with logging.  Controlling the spread is also one of the wisdom of the ancient people.

    The teenagers are full of energy. They have longings for a better future. One after another, the big trees are smashed by the stone axe. Even if they don't have the totem of cultivation, they are much stronger than the people of later generations.

    Yan Zai also holds a stone ax in his hand. What is different from others is that he also has a brass ax pinned to his waist, which is a symbol of power.

    "Hey!"

    Yan Zai threw the last axe, and the tree that was not too tall began to shake. Yan Zai stepped back, and a more professional and older warrior came over, aiming at the opposite direction and smashing the ax again.  .

    So the big tree began to tilt, and collapsed with the dust!

    "Huh!"

    Yan Zai wiped his forehead. His forehead was covered with sweat. Compared with other people, Yan Zai's physical constitution was much weaker. As for the reason, I have already mentioned it.

    "Wu, if you are tired, go and rest, we can do this kind of work!"

    The soldier in his early twenties came over and seemed very concerned. Yu Zai shook his head. He looked at the sky, and the sun had already risen to noon at this time.

    "It's almost there, Šuó¾, look at how much wood there is, if there is too much, you can't take it away."

    Concubine Fou responded, he walked around, counted, and came back and said to Concubine Zai, "There are thirty roots, one for ten feet, two people hugging each other, five feet for seven, one person hugging, and the rest are all."  At three or two zhang, the smallest ones are bowl mouths and earthen jars, and the largest ones have half an arm to hold them."

    Yu Zai nodded, and made a calculation in his heart. If he wanted to build a simple temporary gathering point, this wood might not be enough. The ten-foot-high tree is indeed very good, but here, the wood cannot be divided too thin  , otherwise it would be broken when touched by a strange beast, so isn't it the same as having or not?

    Besides, with a thousand people, there are a lot of things to make. It is enough to make a simple house that can shelter from the wind and rain with these logs, but it is not enough to build simple defensive facilities.

    But no matter how many more, it is estimated that the soldiers will not be able to drag it back. After all, none of the teenagers have opened the totem.?The Akakata family has nothing on hand, only the most crude tools and pottery, and there is no way to make the rolling wooden Xuanyuan carts in ancient times. To put it bluntly, if you want to get rich, you must first pluck trees.

    "If you want to get rich, start by plucking trees?"

    Yan Fou listened to Wu talking to himself, and also kept this sentence in his heart.

    What does it mean to lick?

    The ancients in the Shanhai era did not have sleeves, so there is no such thing as rolling up their sleeves, but you are not stupid. Basically, you can tell that the word rolling is used here, which probably means the same as "fighting" and "cutting".

    However, learning a new vocabulary still made him seem a little happy, and he asked everyone, "Are you pulling trees today?"

    The young soldiers began to drag the logs, and some of the remaining people came out, because not all of them came to cut down the trees, and some of them were taken by Shui Zhengyu to find snails and ate them.

    "Come, come, burn the mountain! Go to the other side."

    Yan Yu took a burning torch and burned a large area in the mountain forest. The scorching heat wave made the young man's eyes red and he sneezed.

    But what's interesting is that the tears on the other side of the concubine's face were all smeared, but besides being red, the concubine's eyes did not shed tears, which is very strange.

    Fortunately, the surrounding soldiers had already cut out an open space with rough stone axes, otherwise the fire might come back.

    Moreover, burning the mountain does not mean burning the entire mountain. An area is cut out with an axe, and then burned within this area.  Large-scale weeding and felling must be carried out before setting fire.

    In this way, one is to avoid triggering large-scale wildfires, which will lead to animal hordes; the other is to smoke animals, which is faster than burning them directly with fire;  That is to obtain plant ash to obtain land with sufficient fertility.

    The ancient ancestors were not stupid. In the era of slash-and-burn farming, they knew the basic isolation measures of setting fire to mountains, because fools who didn't understand had already been burned to death by their own fire.

    ?It is said that the operation of setting fire to the mountain seems to have originated from the Lie Shan family

    At this moment, the lamb who had slipped away suddenly returned.

    "Lamb?"

    Yan Zai walked over from the other side, and felt a little strange when he saw Lamb wandering here again.

    Speaking of which, the lost guy, the lamb, was summoned by the beasts driven by the old witch, and then the Chifang clan rushed to the street, and all the beasts ran away. As a result, because the lamb couldn't find his way home, he had to go to the Chifang clan.  They stayed here to eat and drink, and it happened that the totem of the Chifang clan was a sheep, which was inherited from the Jinyun clan, so

    Well, the lamb actually had a pretty good time in Chifang's. He didn't have to worry about food and drink.

    As for Gouzi, he grew up in the Jinyun family. When he was crossing the river, Gouzi even brought a child here.

    Yu Zai also saw the lamb, this guy was still pacing, walking here with that look of contempt for everything, the key point was that this guy saw a big fire burning not far away, he didn't have any intuition as a wild animal,  Even began to arch the mud in the plant ash!

    "Didn't the lamb run away before?"

    Yu Yu rubbed her head: "I don't knowLamb hates fire very much."

    Because of the shortage of manpower, Huozheng also raises sheep part-time, although the Akakata family only has one sheep.

    Yan Zai asked suddenly: "Huozheng! Do you want to eat roasted whole lamb?"

    Yu Yu nodded subconsciously, then reacted, and shook her head violently: "I wantno, no, no, I don't want to!"

    Yu Zai raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and saw that the lamb seemed to be turning over something, so he walked over, kicked away the ashes, and opened the lamb's mouth. Immediately there was a rotund thing with a root bitten off underneath it.  come out.

    Yan Zai lowered his head, looked at it, and was stunned for a while, then hurriedly squatted down, holding the round thing in his hand.

    "This is"

    Taro!
