Everyone worked very hard, and in just half a month, most of the land around the lotus pond was reclaimed.
This time, Jiang Xue was no longer as unplanned as before.
She had already thought about it. Most of the land here is sloping, and since it is too far from the water source, she would use it to plant fruit trees.
In addition to the mulberry saplings planted near the tribe, she also has peach saplings, bayberry saplings and orange saplings.
When next spring comes, the first thing she will do is plant all these saplings.
They can be a little further away from the water source. If there is any vacant land on the slope after planting the 150 saplings she has, she will cultivate it and grow crops.
For example, corn, soybeans, etc., have less stringent requirements for water and are quite drought-resistant, so they are perfect to be planted under the seedlings.
Next, some canals were built radiating around the lotus pond.
Crops that prefer flooding can be planted around the canals.
After planning everything here, Jiang Xue finally had time to sit down and think about building a bigger house to use as a classroom.
There are fifteen newborns in the tribe this year, and about twenty preschool-age children.
The tribe has already made paper, and ink is also being fired in full swing. She will have to wait until next spring to take out the Xiangfei bamboo stored in the system package and plant it. After they grow for a year or two, she can use them to make brushes.
After the land around the lotus pond had almost bloomed, the weather gradually turned colder.
In the blink of an eye, heavy snow began to fall.
The tribe has run out of salt, and if they don't use rock salt, they will have no salt to use for a long time.
Fortunately, during this period, Asan worked tirelessly to lead everyone to mine salt, and every room in the tribe was filled with a large amount of salt ore.
Next, Jiang Xue could only use salt ore to make table salt.
It was the same old method. Jiang Xue did it once in front of them and then stopped caring.
As for whether they have grasped the essence of it, it all depends on their luck.
It was obvious that the people of the Snake Tribe were very competitive. Although she only demonstrated it once, she did not disappoint Jiang Xue.
When table salt was completely exhausted, rock salt finally came in handy.

The Snake Tribe developed rapidly under the leadership of Jiang Xue.
In just seven years, they successfully conquered most of the nearby tribes.
The tribe, which started out as a small tribe of forty or fifty people, successfully developed into the largest tribe in the vicinity through continuous mergers and additions over a period of eight years.
Jiang Xue was very pleased to see the houses rising from the ground, the furniture in the houses growing from nothing to something, and the tribe's territory growing.
Ultimately, this is all thanks to the system.
Without the system, she certainly wouldn't be able to help the Snake Tribe regain its glory, or even surpass it.
The tribe now has a complete handicraft system, and Jiang Xue is constantly improving and upgrading it. For example, before, they could only use pottery, but now, they have started using porcelain.
The livestock in the tribe also reproduced rapidly under their care. At the beginning, there were only a dozen wild boars, but now there are hundreds of wild boars in the tribe.
The reproduction rate of cattle is relatively slow. At the beginning, they only had a few cows, but now, they have nearly thirty heads.
In agricultural society, cattle still play a very important role.
As for goats, they are also quite fertile. On average, a ewe can give birth to two lambs every year. A lamb can basically become a mother in one and a half years. After seven or eight years of reproduction, there are nearly two hundred of them.
What gave Jiang Xue the most headache was the horse.
They give birth to one baby per year, so their production efficiency is still too low compared to sheep and pigs.
The most outrageous thing is the pheasants.
After seven or eight years of domestication, they have successfully gotten rid of their wildness. Now Jiang Xue is awakened by the crowing of roosters every day. There are dozens of row houses in the tribe, and hundreds of chickens are kept in each row house.
Since ramie was woven into cloth, in the fifth year, few people in the tribe wore animal skin clothes anymore, and most of them changed into lighter linen clothes.
The silkworms are also doing very well. Now there is a row house in the tribe specifically for raising silkworms. Every time their growing season comes, you can always hear the rustling sound of them gnawing on mulberry leaves...
There is also cotton. In the beginning, there were only a few dozen seeds, but now, cotton is often planted on tens or even dozens of acres.
Xiaobai is very old, and Xiaoxiaobai takes over his position.
Compared to Xiaobai, Xiaoxiaobai has softer fur and a gentler temperament.
She continued to give birth to litters of pups with the wolf pack. After a month, the mother wolf would abandon the pups in the snake tribe and ignore them. Fortunately, there was a fat boy in the tribe who loved these small animals.
Under Xiaopang's careful care, Xiaoxiaobai and his children became more dependent on the Snake Tribe.
Everything in the tribe is going in a good direction, but it's a pity for Mu Feng who has been eyeing Jiang Xue.
He has asked Jiang Xue to have sex with him more than once.
Yes, the people in the tribe have always been so straightforward and explicit about this matter. Jiang Xue finally couldn't resist his coaxing and after having sex with him once, this guy got addicted to it. With his hard work, Jiang Xue successfully became a mother in the spring of the following year.
The children of the Snow Witch are superior to others from birth.
When everyone in the tribe was cheering for the birth of the little princess, Ajin and Arnold from the Sishui tribe led their tribesmen over mountains and rivers and appeared in front of her.
Ajin brought not only his people, but also taro, bamboo leaves and palm seeds from their tribe.
Jiang Xue was overjoyed and planted all the taro, bamboo leaves and palm trees he brought.
After finishing the planting, she thought she was in Mu Feng's arms and said, "In two years, we will be able to eat rice dumplings and use cattail leaf fans."
During her many years in the Snake Tribe, she initially used banana leaves as a fan.
Later, Asongbo and his friends had a sudden idea and weaved the first bamboo fan with bamboo strips. Jiang Xue fanned it in her hand and the effect was really good.
So, Asongbo started weaving bamboo fans again.
Liu Jun of the Spirit Clan looked at Jiang Xue from the bottom of the river, smiled knowingly, and said to a night-shining pearl in his hand, "Ghost King, did you see that? Even without your help, she still succeeded."
The Ghost King laughed in his night-light pearl, "Liu Jun is just a woman who traveled through time. Killing her is as easy as crushing an ant! It's ridiculous that you want to wait a hundred years before you can live with her."
Liu Jun was unmoved: "She is the woman I like, I will naturally find a way to live with her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned, revealing one or two sharp white canine teeth that shone with a cold light.
"We, the vampire race, don't need a few decades."
The Ghost King hit the night pearl hard, as if responding to him.
