"They asked why our tribe had so much hemp and why we should exchange it with theirs since we already had a lot of hemp."

Bai Xuemei acted as an interpreter for Han Cheng.

Why do you want to exchange yours?

Of course, I want to find some cheap textile workers, and then absorb and integrate you little by little step by step.

After listening to Bai Xuemei's translation, Han Cheng thought to himself as he looked at the confused people of the Fire Tribe. Of course, he would not say such words out loud.

"We grow hemp. We only need hemp skins. We need lots and lots of them."

Han Cheng said to Huosong and a few others with a sincere look on his face.

Grown?

What is a 'seed'? How come there are so many numbnesses?

After hearing what Bai Xuemei translated, Huo Song looked even more confused.

"Planting means burying hemp seeds in the soil, and in time a lot of hemp will grow."

Han Cheng shook his head and explained to the people from the Fire Tribe what "species" was.

Huosong and the others still seemed to understand but not quite.

In order to make them understand more intuitively what "planting" is, Han Cheng brought them back to the tribe, asked people to take out stone hoes and bone shovels, let Huosong and a few others hold them, and led them to the edge of the fields of Qingque tribe.

There, a group of people from the Qingque tribe were reclaiming the land.

It is foreseeable that the population of the Green Bird Tribe will increase significantly.

As the population increases, the demand for food also increases, so the land reclamation work has been ongoing under Han Cheng's arrangement.

However, compared with last year's concentrated efforts to reclaim wasteland, the Qingque tribe's reclamation this year is not as urgent. After all, they already have six or seven hundred acres of land.

"This is how you grow hemp. Use this thing to turn the soil over, break it up, and then bury the hemp seeds..."

Han Cheng pointed at the dozen or so people from the Qingque tribe who were engaged in land reclamation and spoke.

After Bai Xuemei translated for them, Huosong and a few others were asked to take stone hoes and bone shovels and help open up the wasteland here, just like the people from the Qingque tribe.

Is it possible that the free food from the Green Bird Tribe is so delicious?

How could Han Cheng let go of such free labor?

Han Cheng smiled slyly as he looked at Huosong and his men, who were holding hoes and skull shovels and clumsily learning to clear the land like the other people in the Qingque tribe.

Han Cheng decided to pass on the farming skill, a natural skill brought from later generations, to the Fire Tribe after careful consideration.

Han Cheng had planned long ago to turn the Fire Tribe into a weaver tribe and make them increasingly dependent on the Green Bird Tribe.

What we are doing now is the supporting steps of this plan.

If the Fire Tribe wanted to become weavers, one of the important conditions was to have hemp to spin.

There is indeed a lot of wild hemp in Yau Ma Tei, but it cannot withstand the large-scale harvesting every year.

If people only harvest without sowing for several years, the wild hemp in Yau Ma Tei will gradually become extinct just like the millet around the Green Tribe.

In order to prevent the Fire Tribe from following the same path as the Green Tribe, Han Cheng unleashed the skill of farming.

Of course, if the Fire Tribe had edible food like the Green Tribe, Han Cheng would definitely not act like he does now.

But numbness is another matter.

This thing cannot be eaten. So far, except for the Green Bird Tribe, basically no other tribe has a great demand for it.

Moreover, when Han Cheng taught them how to farm, he only taught them how to grow hemp and did not mention anything else.

In this way, even if there is edible food around their tribe, they will not immediately think of planting it.

Even if you think about planting, you won't make much progress in a short period of time.

The Green Bird Tribe has Han Cheng, a cheater who is very familiar with farming, and it took them several years to develop to its current level. It is simply impossible for the Fire Tribe to rely on what Han Cheng taught them to quickly get rid of gathering and hunting and move towards farming that can support a larger population.

Of course, even with such confidence, when doing business with the Fire Tribe in the future, Han Cheng will do a good job of control to prevent a single grain of unhusked millet from flowing into the Fire Tribe.

Huosong and his companions, who gradually became familiar with the stone hoes and bone shovels, had no idea that this noble Son of God, who was standing by and watching them turning the soil, would actually consider so many things.

Through Bai Xuemei, Han Cheng told Huosong and the others to let the four men continue to cultivate the land here, while he led the other four female primitive people back to the place where they were peeling hemp.

Because the farming area was not too far from the hemp peeling area, and the tribe's son of God gave people the same kind impression as always, Huosong did not think there was anything wrong with Han Cheng's behavior of separating them.

In fact, Han Cheng really had no idea about these female primitives from the Fire Tribe. However, the way these female primitives looked at him made Han Cheng want to retreat...

The reason why I took them to the river was that I wanted them to follow the people of the Qingque tribe and learn how to peel and wash hemp.

The hemp that the Fire Tribe brought this time was not well fermented, and hemp that was not well fermented could not be used to weave cloth.

I can weave it, but the quality of the woven linen is really too touching...

Since Han Cheng plans to let the people of the Fire Tribe serve as cheap weavers for the Green Bird Tribe, he must teach them all about weaving.

After all, these cloths will be used by their own tribe in the future.

Sister Bai Xue, who received instructions from Han Cheng, was there seriously explaining to several women from the Fire Tribe how to ream hemp and what state the hemp should be in to be considered successfully reamed so that it can be fished out and peeled.

The women from several tribes listened very attentively.

Time passed quickly, and after another rich and delicious meal, night fell.

The eight people of the Fire Tribe were housed in twelve thatched houses that were built this year.

There were three kangs in the house that had been built and covered with thick hay.

Huosong, who was full of food, and several other people from the Huo tribe lay on the flat, smooth kang, feeling the softness beneath them, and still felt like they were dreaming.

This thing, called a "kang" by the tribe, is really comfortable to sleep on. It's spacious and flat.

This house is different from a cave house and is very comfortable to live in. It is not only spacious but also orderly. The only problem is that there is no fire in the room, which makes Huosong and others a little uncomfortable.

Huosong pulled the animal skin covering his body with his hands. It was extremely soft and comfortable against his body. It was completely different from the hard animal skins in their tribe... Everything about this tribe was so fascinating.

After lying here for a while, Huosong finally fell asleep. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking about what the noble Son of God had said during dinner today, about what he would let them see tomorrow...
