Han Cheng climbed up the wall again, not to shoot the geese, but to look around.

Today, the Qingque tribe is surrounded by extremely open space, with vision extending very far away. This is because large areas of the surrounding woods have been removed and turned into fertile fields.

Soil erosion also occurred, but it was not serious.

Firstly, the place for reclaiming farmland is generally flat, and secondly, Han Cheng had a large number of drainage facilities built on the land.

Newly reclaimed farmland generally suffers more soil erosion in the first two years. Once grass grows in the constructed ditches, the problem can basically be ignored.

There are quite a lot of people scattered over this large area of ​​land outside.

The first crop of millet has begun to be planted. The old men of the Qingque tribe are calling the deer and using plow carts to start sowing.

Sowing is the privilege of the citizens of the Green Bird Tribe. In their opinion, it is a very important matter and they do not allow the slaves to interfere at all.

These slaves could only do work such as clearing wasteland and tilling the land.

While sowing, others were plowing the soil, and further away were slaves still working on clearing land.

This is the advantage of having a large number of people, they can spread out and do many things at the same time.

Bugs Bunny, the gardener, is also busy. He is either pruning the tribe's fruit trees or tending to the nursery.

Every spring is the busiest time for him.

At the edge of the tree stick array outside the wall, Wu was digging a ditch with a smaller stone hoe.

Beside him were small bundles of green iron fence seedlings.

The witch has never forgotten to strengthen the tribe's defense.

This matter was too urgent, so he didn't let anyone else interfere, but did it slowly by himself.

About a hundred meters away from the quarry, there is a hill that is not too big but not small either.

There are many trees growing on the hill, some of which are so big that several people cannot hug them.

This is enough to prove that this hill is not as barren as imagined.

At this time, on the south side of the hill, more than ten people were holding tools and continuously cutting down the trees growing on this land.

Smaller trees were cut down directly, while larger trees were barked in a circle.

Sometimes, after clearing a wide enough isolation zone, they would set it on fire.

The people of the Qingque tribe have done this a lot in recent years and are very skilled at it.

This was done by people sent by Han Cheng. He wanted to create an open space of about four or five acres in the sunny place on the south side of the hill before the end of spring.

Certainly not for growing food.

There is still a lot of flat land available for cultivation around the Qingque tribe, so there is no need to be so desperate and ruthless as to eat anything.

The reason for doing this is that the mulberry seedlings planted earlier have reached the point where they can be transplanted.

He wanted to gradually clear away the remaining trees on the hill, plant mulberry trees, and turn it into a Mulberry Mountain.

When the silkworms in the tribe gradually improved, it became much easier to expand the scale of silkworm breeding with this mulberry mountain.

It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. These are things that are often calculated in years or even decades, so we need to prepare in advance.

After searching around the tribe for a while, Han Cheng's gaze once again fell on the east side of the tribe.

That was where Shang, Mao and the others led the trade team out.

So much time has passed, they should be coming back soon, right?

I was looking forward to Shang, Mao and the others coming back. On the one hand, I was worried about them, and on the other hand, I just wanted to see what they brought back as soon as possible to see what they had gained.

It’s a bit like the feeling of waiting for a delivery after shopping online in later generations.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one, Han Cheng went down the wall and went outside to plant the iron fence with Wu.

The plants in Tielizhai are planted very densely, with each plant about five centimeters apart.

And they didn't just plant one row, but four rows at once, with a distance of ten centimeters between each row.

With such a density, over time, it will become a completely green and environmentally friendly wall that is so dense that only the wind can pass through.

Three days later, it was a drizzling day.

Because of the rain, the Qingque tribe seemed much quieter and more leisurely than usual.

Han Cheng stayed in the room, watching Bai Xuemei weaving.

Fu Jiang, who had abandoned the other dogs, lay down at Han Cheng's feet, taking a nap leisurely and enjoying the quietness.

Suddenly, Fu Jiang, who had been lying on the ground with his chin resting on Han Cheng's feet, woke up suddenly, half-raised his body, and pricked up his ears as if trying to listen.

Then he ran out of the house and started howling towards the east of the tribe.

After calling out twice, he did not forget to look back at Han Cheng.

Seeing this, Han Cheng's slight doubts were quickly filled with joy and anticipation.

If my guess is correct, it should be the caravan that has returned.

After he took off his hat and put it on, he walked out of the room and listened carefully for a while. Sure enough, he heard some wolf howls with changed tones in the distance.

You can tell right away that it's the dogs of the Green Bird tribe howling.

When we arrived outside the tribal gate and looked to the east, we couldn’t see the returning caravan in the mist and rain.

However, the wolf howls were getting closer and closer. Before long, five of them appeared in the field of vision and rushed over.

Fu Jiang, who was with Han Cheng, also excitedly twisted his butt and came forward with more descendants.

After the wolves met, they became quiet instead. General Fu sniffed each of the five returning offspring, then pretended to bite Da Fu.

As soon as the teeth touched his body, Dafu, whose fur was a little wet, fell to the ground.

Of course, it’s not the porcelain that belongs to the lucky general.

Instead, he lay on the ground with his belly exposed, shaking his body constantly.

This is a way for Fu Jiang to confirm his status in the wolf pack and for the other wolves to show their submission.

It was not much different from Han Cheng's habit of lightly kicking the returning people on the buttocks, but Shang, Mao and others who were kicked turned out to be smiling.

He kicked out a total of twenty times. After making sure that everyone who kicked out came back safe and sound, Han Cheng smiled.

Leading the returning people and bags of things back to the tribe.

The quiet tribe in the drizzle soon became lively because of the return of everyone.

Inside the big house, Han Cheng was squatting on the ground with a pile of large and small stones in front of him. Beside him stood Shang and Mao, two people who had just finished a long journey.

There are also several prominent figures in the Qingque tribe, such as Wu, the eldest brother, and the second brother.

They all stared at Han Cheng squatting on the ground, wanting to know from Han Cheng whether there were any stones that could be used to smelt iron...
