"Let's go over there and take a look!"
Han Cheng stood up from the ground, reached out to pat the dirt on his body, and spoke to Bo who was standing beside him with some excitement.
Lame didn't know what good idea the Son of God had come up with. He didn't ask, but did things according to the Son of God's instructions.
The wooden plow was put down and the tether was taken off Uncle Deer. Uncle Deer, who had just recovered a little strength, kept shouting with joy.
After a while, Han Cheng, with the tied deer harness on his shoulder and Grandpa Deer in his hand, followed by Lame, who was limping with a wooden plow on his back. The two of them and the deer left the courtyard and walked towards the river.
After arriving near the creek, Lame put down the wooden plow, and Uncle Deer, who had just been happy for a short while, was put on the deer harness again.
It snorted a few times at Han Cheng, but it didn't have much effect. It could only continue to accept the exploitation of the two-legged beast, experiencing and sighing the bumpy life of a deer.
Han Cheng continued to hold the wooden plow, and after tying it up, he shouted, "Ha!"
Although he was reluctant, Uncle Deer still took a step forward because the two-legged beasts had been very filial to him.
As it moved, the wooden plow sank into the ground, breaking up the earth and revealing the moist soil.
This time, Han Cheng just pressed down the wooden plow with his arms and did not use the weight of his whole body. However, the depth of the cultivated land was even deeper than before.
Moreover, it was not as difficult for Uncle Lu to walk anymore and he seemed much more relaxed.
This speed of turning the soil is at least equivalent to that of five people.
The same tools, the same deer and people, just moved to a new place, and yet such a big change happened?
This is not a joke.
This not-so-small river has been flowing here for who knows how many years. While there is water flowing, there is also inconspicuous mud and sand mixed in it.
Especially when the water level rises in summer, the amount of silt in the river will become greater.
Over the years, the soil on both sides of the river has changed and gradually formed sandy soil.
This type of soil has a high sand content and is much looser and easier to cultivate than other clay soils.
The soil where Han Cheng is now is of this kind.
It is precisely because of this that there has been such a big change in the speed of tilling the fields.
As the population of the Qingque tribe continued to grow, except for places like brick kilns and pottery kilns, the rest of the land on both sides of the river was basically reclaimed into land.
The areas along the river are not all sandy.
There are always places that don’t get wet even when it rains, let alone something like this.
For example, the areas near brick kilns and pottery kilns are not sandy, but thick clay.
But overall, sand is still the majority.
According to Han Cheng's rough estimate, there are about 250 acres of such arable land.
Whether in terms of quantity or the proportion of the overall land of the Qingque tribe, it is a considerable number.
Even if wooden plows and deer plowing cannot be implemented in other places, being able to turn over these more than 200 acres of land will greatly reduce the burden on the Qingque tribe.
The witch also arrived at this time. In the entire tribe, he was actually the one who cared most about Han Cheng's new things.
After several years of contact, the witch had already discovered a truth, that is, most of the time, the novel tools created by the Son of God can have a great effect on the tribe.
So today, after wandering around in the fields for a while, he immediately rushed over after discovering that the Son of God was doing something new again.
He didn't want to miss this moment of witnessing a miracle.
He also had to record these new things and circulate them within the tribe.
After learning from Han Cheng about Han Cheng's plan to use the wooden plow and deer plow, and witnessing with his own eyes the extremely fast speed of the wooden plow and deer plowing, Wu was overjoyed. He squatted there and kept touching the wooden plow with his hands, which seemed far less sophisticated than the wooden hoe and wooden rake.
Such a simple thing, when combined with a deer and suitable land, can actually play such a big role?
This is really unexpected.
Even though he had already witnessed the intelligence and talent of the Son of God, Wu still couldn't help but admire him at this moment and felt deeply impressed by the wisdom of the Son of God.
The lame man on the side also looked very surprised. The depression and frustration he had felt before because the tools were too simple had long since disappeared completely.
It is indeed more impressive to use simple tools to do extraordinary things.
But after such a moment of joy, Wu frowned because he discovered a very serious problem.
That is, the one pulling the wooden plow now is the largest and strongest deer in the tribe. It is indeed fine for it to pull the wooden plow, but the other adult deer in the tribe do not have its strength, so it would be too difficult for them to use it to pull the wooden plow.
He told Han Cheng about his worry, but Han Cheng was not too surprised because he had already considered such a situation and thought of a solution.
Han Cheng did not directly tell him his solution, but asked Bo to go back and get another set of deer traps and bring a few more deer.
Not long after, Lame came back, and with him came Tietou and four adult deer.
Tietou was cleaning the deer pen there. After learning from Bo what had happened there, he could not suppress his curiosity and followed over to see what was going on.
At Han Cheng's instruction, an adult deer was harnessed to a wooden plow. Han Cheng held the plow and walked forward for a while. He was able to plow the land, but compared with Uncle Deer, the strength of this deer was not enough.
It's not smooth enough to pull it, and it seems to be laborious.
A look of worry appeared on Wu's face; things turned out just as he had expected.
However, when he saw Han Cheng without the slightest sign of worry, his heart couldn't help but move. Could it be that the Son of God had a solution?
Hearing Wu's question, Han Cheng smiled and nodded.
When the witch saw this, he was immediately happy.
Han Cheng's solution was very simple and crude.
Since it's hard for one deer to pull a wooden plow, why not use two?
Before mechanization was fully developed, people used oxen to plow the fields. It was rare to have only one oxen. Usually two oxen would pull the plow together.
It's OK for a cow to have little land, but if there is a lot of land, it will not be able to handle it after a few days.
After hearing the solution proposed by Han Cheng, Wu and a few others' eyes suddenly brightened and a look of enlightenment rose in their hearts.
Yes, it's a bit hard for one deer to pull it, so why not use two deer?
At the same time, I was also a little annoyed. Why couldn't I think of such a simple method?
However, the joy and some regret did not last long, because they discovered a new problem, and it was a crucial one.
