Chapter 297: Farming and Infrastructure Construction in Primitive Society 12
In the following time, Jiang Lan arranged most of the labor force in the tribe to mine.
The iron ore and coal mines of the Red Soil Tribe are of high purity and are relatively shallow, directly on the surface of the soil layer. They are very easy to find and dig.
After Jiang Lan dispersed the people of the Zongshan Tribe and the Red Soil Tribe, he incorporated them into the Huangyan Tribe.
This not only prevents them from connecting with each other, but also reduces the conflicts between them.
Mining is a very hard job, and Jiang Lan specially prepared some delicious food for them.
In addition to dry food and meat, there are also some fish soup and so on.
The people of the Huangyan Tribe are now very accustomed to it, but they still eat with relish.
The people of the other two tribes ate very cherishingly.
Especially the ordinary people in the Zongshan tribe, they often don't have enough to eat, let alone eat well.
The food and fish soup of the Huangyan tribe are the most delicious things they have ever eaten in their lives.
As long as the living conditions can be improved, it doesn't matter who manages the tribe.
If it was the intimidation of force before, now it is material compensation, these outsiders can be said to be convinced.
Except for some high-level people who are dissatisfied with losing their power.
Ordinary tribesmen are still very satisfied with their lives, and even feel that it is much better than before.
After the iron ore and coal were transported, Jiang Lan started the iron smelting business.
The knowledge learned is always useful. It happened that she had studied steel smelting in the previous plane, and she used it in this plane.
Unfortunately, blast furnaces require high temperatures to refine steel, and the original plane cannot achieve this effect.
However, there is no problem in smelting ordinary ironware. At least it is not difficult to make some cold weapons.
After collecting all the materials, Jiang Lan's ironmaking business flourished.
Soon the first batch of ironware in the tribe was forged. This batch of forged were all machetes, which were somewhat similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
This batch of weapons is very practical for hunting and fighting.
Later, Jiang Lan also made some bows and crossbows. After her improvement, the range and penetration of these bows and crossbows were greatly improved.
I believe that with these weapons, the warriors of the Huangyan tribe should be invincible.
After this batch of weapons appeared in the exchange hall, the warriors in the tribe began to save money like crazy.
Not only did they work hard, they also started to find a sideline in plants.
Jiang Lan specially opened a window for acquisitions. If the tribesmen encountered some strange plants, they could bring them back to her.
If they found useful plants, they would get relevant rewards.
It has to be said that there is strength in numbers. Jiang Lan went out for several rounds and found nothing. After the people in the tribe went out, they really brought back a lot of good things.
Not only various spices, but also rice, wheat, potatoes, soybeans, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and other food crops.
It has to be said that the original plane is really a very magical plane. You can find anything you want. It feels as interesting as opening a blind box.
With the iron tools, the progress of land reclamation was accelerated.
Jiang Lan made a plow and rake, and Ah Qing and his tribe began to work as working cows and became good at plowing the land.
In addition to these, Jiang Lan also made a lot of kitchen knives, iron pots and so on, and put them all in the exchange hall.
I believe that the tribesmen will continue to work hard to improve their lives.
As time went by, the first batch of grain planted by Jiang Lan matured, and a bunch of sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested. These things are also good things for winter.
In order to improve the diet of the tribesmen, Jiang Lan also made some vermicelli with sweet potatoes, which received unanimous praise from everyone.
The weather was getting cooler day by day, and Jiang Lan took the tribesmen to the mountains to collect herbs.
The worst thing about primitive society is the medical conditions. A cold can kill people.
Fortunately, she has studied Chinese medicine, which can be of some use.
In the past, when winter came, the tribesmen were very scared.
But now the people of the Huangyan tribe are unusually down-to-earth and firmly believe that everyone can spend the winter safely this year.
With coal, the problem of fuel has been solved.
Jiang Lan built kangs in the houses of the tribesmen, so that it would not be too cold indoors.
This kang is not difficult to make, and many people make it themselves.
Build red brick pillars on the ground, then make a chimney, and build a vortex trough at the chimney outlet.
Then lay a fireproof insulation layer inside the kang, lay kang boards on the kang surface, and smear mud on the kang boards.
Finally, light a fire at the stove and dry the kang surface.
There is no glass for windows now, so we can only use the plastic sheet in Ayu's space, but it is also very strong.
Even when winter comes, everyone does not stay at home, but starts handicrafts. Those
who twist hemp ropes twist hemp ropes, those who weave cloth weave cloth, and those who make straw sandals and even animal skin clothes, all of these things are purchased by the exchange hall.
Even the warriors, when they are free at home, will help their wives and children to make handicrafts and earn some hemp ropes, so that the family can exchange more things.
This winter, as long as everyone is a little more diligent, they will definitely not starve to death.
Even orphans without parents, old people without families, and disabled people can be self-reliant and support themselves.
On the first day when it snowed, Ah Yu was so excited that she rushed out like a fool and rolled in the snow.
"Lan, this is snow! This is the first time I have seen real snow since I was a child!"
Jiang Lan smiled and guessed that Ah Yu should be from some city in the south.
She couldn't help but think of the excited expressions of some classmates in her class when she saw snow for the first time when she was studying at university in Kyoto.
Snow is indeed beautiful, but too much snow is not a good thing.
On the first day of snowing, Ah Yu was so excited that she wished it would snow every day.
But on the 7th day of continuous snowfall, Ah Yu started to feel annoyed, thinking that the snow was too thick.
It was so cold outside that she could only stay in her house and could not go anywhere.
In the winter of primitive society, this power was really strong.
This intensity of snowfall is a very normal phenomenon in the current plane.
If it were in another plane, it would definitely be a snowstorm.
[I finally understand why people are frozen to death. It looks so cold.]
[It’s not easy to be a host. This plane is really hard.]
Jiang Lan threw some coal into his stove, and then dug out a few sweet potatoes inside. The hot taste was really sweet.
[This sweet potato looks delicious. Jiang Lan
: To be honest, the food in this plane is authentic and delicious.
Why do people always miss the past? Because after the development of technology, many people's consciences have changed.
Technology is not for the benefit of mankind, but for mutual harm. People
who raise fish don't eat fish, people who raise pigs don't eat pigs, and people who grow vegetables don't eat vegetables, but they eat what others grow, and in the end they hurt themselves.
After eating the sweet potatoes, Jiang Lan planned to go to the vegetable greenhouse to take a look, hoping that the greenhouse would not be collapsed by the heavy snow.
