"I understand. The tribe will recruit another batch of domestic slaves in two days."
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Chen Xingzhen turned his gaze towards Chen Yihu.
Chen Yihu was delighted when he heard this, and immediately thanked him:
"Thank you for your trust, Chief. I will definitely do my best to help the family prosper."
Chen Xingzhen smiled slightly and said nothing more. After checking the growth of the blood rice, he turned and left.
After Chen Xingzhen left, many servants came forward to congratulate him.
Being valued by the clan leader, Chen Yihu has a bright future.
Chen Xuanshe on the side fell silent.
Chen Yihu's behavior made him look stupid. Although he was very curious about Chen Yihu's changes, he seemed unable to learn them.
But as long as the manpower is increased, it won’t be a problem.
Chen Yihu was in a very happy mood as he enjoyed the compliments from everyone.
It seems that the ancient book he found in the market a few days ago seems to be quite effective, at least it has shown initial results so far.
The patriarch has already remembered him.
But after that he still needs to work harder and not mess things up, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted.
Before going to bed tonight, he would have to study the tattered ancient book carefully again.
…
"Patriarch, would it be inappropriate to let Chen Yihu take charge of recruiting household slaves?"
"Yeah, I think so too. This person seems too frivolous and different from the others."
On the way back to the village, two tribesmen behind him were talking about it.
After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen just smiled and said:
"You are wrong. Don't look at what he says, but look at what he does."
"The family is in need of people right now. It is a bit overwhelmed to rely on the family members alone. The family needs people like this."
"Letting him recruit the household slaves is also a test for him."
"Warriors are the core of the family. It's too early for you to get involved in these things now. Just practice martial arts well."
The two young tribesmen looked puzzled, but nodded in agreement.
In the past few days, in addition to planting blood rice, the family also planted a lot of millet.
After all, as the number of tribe members increases, blood rice alone is not enough, and most of these blood rices will be consumed by the warriors in the tribe to temper their bodies.
Ordinary fields are several times more abundant than fertile fields.
But before that, Chen Xingzhen had already gathered the village heads together and made his intentions clear.
According to Chen Xingzhen's plan, except for the blood rice, all other fields of the family will be handed over to people in nearby villages for cultivation.
As a reward, the family would take away 70% of the grain produced from the fields. Although only 30% was left for the major villages, many villages readily agreed.
There are also differences between the fields.
The Chen family's fields are different from the fields they planted. Even though they cannot grow bleeding rice, the quality and yield of the rice produced are far better than the fields they planted before.
These fields were previously controlled by the major families in the Burial Hill and would not be allowed to be cultivated by outsiders.
But now the family is short of manpower, and it is impossible to cultivate so many fields.
What's more, several of the villages are allied with the family through marriage, and the relationship is quite close, so naturally they will not object.
In addition, the family also gave many villages the right to hunt in the mass grave mountain.
In the past, the Mass Grave Hill was also controlled by three major families. The major villages could only find some common wild animals in the surrounding areas, which also caused many hunters in the village to be in financial difficulties.
But now that the family has allowed them to hunt in the Mass Grave Hill, the harvest will definitely be much better.
What the family values is the ferocious beast resources in the mass grave hill.
Ferocious beasts can only be dealt with by warriors, and ordinary hunters dare not go too deep into the mountains to avoid affecting the family.
On the contrary, it can increase the family's favorability in many villages.
This information made many villages grateful to the Chen family.
If there were good fields for growing grains and people could go into the mountains to hunt, the village would certainly develop better and the villagers would not have to worry about going hungry. There would be no corpses of people dying of hunger and freezing every winter.
…
Two months later, in the family hall, Chen Xingzhen and others looked delighted.
A few days ago, the tribe sent people to pick a few five-leaf flowers that they had found in the mass grave mountain.
According to Chen Changming's description, these five-leaf flowers already have certain benefits and can be picked, which is just right to increase the family's strength a little bit.
After swallowing this flower, several blood coagulation realm warriors in the clan have improved.
For example, Chen Tianyu and Chen Tianjing, who were originally in the middle stage of blood coagulation realm, broke through to the late stage of blood coagulation realm.
Of course, this is also because two of them have been in this realm for a long time.
Although the other few people failed to break through their realm, they also made some progress based on their own realm. In addition, in the past two months, the clan has gained one more Blood Coagulation Realm warrior and several Body Tempering Realm warriors.
The number of domestic slaves, which originally numbered about ten, reached forty before a month.
The people who came in later were also selected from various major villages.
Although Chen Yihu was in charge of this matter, the family had been observing it secretly.
Including the household slaves and the original number of clan members, the number of family members finally exceeded one hundred, but this number was still too small.
But the abundance of life and the strength of the family make the tribesmen feel at ease.
It is expected that many new lives will join the family this year.
Within two months, the blood rice planted at the beginning of the year was harvested soon, and many ferocious beasts appeared in the mass grave mountain.
The family did not engage in large-scale hunting, and the food they have now is enough to support them until the first harvest of blood rice.
