Chapter 252 Arrival at the Lu Tribe (Seeking votes and subscriptions)
The rice straw has been bundled and put into the warehouse for animal feed in the winter, so except for the construction team that started to build the breeding farm, most of the people have nothing to do, so Luo Chong assigned these people to the fishing team, increased the fishing team, and stored more meat for the long winter.
Speaking of autumn fish, Luo Chong couldn't help but reflect. When he first came to this world last year, it was autumn. At that time, he also saw many identical fish, and they all came upstream from the downstream. Such a large-scale migration of fish obviously shows a problem. This place may be very close to the estuary, that is, it is close to the sea.
There are naturally benefits to being close to the sea. The resources of the ocean are very rich. If the Han tribe can be developed to the sea in the future, first of all, the supply of white salt will never be short of it, and sea salt can be directly dried at that time.
In addition, when the Han tribe develops to a certain scale, the population surges, and the food supply is insufficient, the Han tribe can also build ships and obtain a large amount of fish resources from the ocean.
It can also develop the ocean trade of the Han tribe and make the Han tribe richer and richer. A force without the awareness of sea power will always be controlled by others. This is undeniable. Therefore, Luo Chong is very happy about his geographical location. He doesn't know where Youfu can explore this time, whether he can find the sea, and whether he will gain anything.
Dreams are necessary, but reality has to come step by step. For the time being, Luo Chong began to plan and build the breeding area for the Han tribe.
Luo Chong thinks that the warehouses that have been built are very good. They are spacious and tall, and can be used as breeding farms. Therefore, the newly built breeding farms are also built according to the standards of warehouses, but the number of breeding farms is not as many as warehouses.
In the same square area with a side length of 110 meters, there are 12 warehouses planned, while there are only 8 breeding farms. The layout of the warehouse is four rows and three columns, and the layout of the breeding farm is four rows and two columns, leaving the middle row out.
Luo Chong planned to build eight large houses at both ends of this small town, and then fence the open space in the middle, plant some grass in it, and dig a small pond for the livestock to ventilate on a daily basis. After all, even if there is a breeding farm, the livestock cannot be kept locked up all the time.
Another point worth noting is that Luo Chong did not plan to build a rabbit farm specifically. Now that the Han tribe has more productive and easier to manage saiga antelopes, the problem of rabbits being small in size and large in number, which is difficult to manage, has been exposed. When the sheep herd reaches a certain scale, rabbits will definitely be eliminated.
However, it does not mean that no rabbits will be raised in the future, but that they will no longer be raised in large groups. Rabbits can be distributed to each household and allowed to be raised by themselves. It is considered another food source for the tribe members themselves and is not subject to collective control by the tribe.
There were still two months before winter, and Luo Chong also ordered the construction team to build at least two more farms. This was the minimum requirement. The more than 300 horses of the Han tribe must occupy a house. The other cattle, deer, sheep, pigs, and alpacas could be temporarily placed together. Anyway, their total number was not large. As for rabbits, a batch would be slaughtered before winter, and the rest would be directly distributed to each household. There was no need to build another house. After
arranging these, Luo Chong began to urge the construction progress of the blast furnace, as well as the preparation of ironmaking materials, the reserve of ore bricks, and the reserve of charcoal, which was expected to be a large number.
In addition, in addition to the star-shaped blast furnace, there are also supporting high-legged stands and lifting equipment. Since this blast furnace is top-fed, it must be able to deliver a large amount of materials in a short time. However, in the previous warehouse construction, the Han tribe already had the necessary technical reserves. The technology of large wooden structures and labor-saving pulleys was mature, so it was not difficult to build.
However, these things are used for iron smelting, and the lifting units are generally very large, so Luo Chong also ordered the production of thicker ropes and pulleys made of pure metal. There is no chain now, but it would be more perfect if there is an iron chain.
Days passed, and the progress of various constructions was also in a hurry. When the second month of autumn was only halfway through, the team led by Youfu arrived at the Lu tribe again.
The Lu tribe was naturally the tribe that raised spotted pigs. They had traded dozens of pigs with Youfu last time in exchange for some pottery and white salt, but the population of the Lu tribe was not small. The pottery was nothing, but the consumption of white salt was very fast.
The last time Youfu left, he said that he would come soon, but it has been several months, and there is still no shadow. During this period, the Lu leader was almost anxious, looking forward to Youfu's return. Originally, when the Lu tribe slowly turned from hope to despair and thought that Youfu would not come again, Youfu suddenly appeared in the territory of the Lu tribe.
"Chief, chief, the tribe that sold white salt last time is here again. This time they brought two carts full of stuff. Also, this time they all came on beasts, and there was no woman." A member of the Lu tribe hurried over to report to the leader Ju.
"They are here, really here?! Where are they? Have you brought them here?" When Ju heard that Youfu was coming, he stood up and asked excitedly without even hearing the rest of the tribe member's words.
"Yes, they are here. Our tribe members who were grazing pigs outside met them, and then brought them back to the tribe. They were just walking here, and they should be here by now." The tribe member answered immediately.
"They are here now? Come on, take me to see, they actually brought two carts, and I don't know how much salt they brought. If they leave this time, they probably won't come again this year." Ju pulled the tribe member who reported the news, and kept muttering while walking quickly.
Soon, Ju had just walked out a short distance when he saw You Fu riding on horseback. This time, You Fu had changed a lot. Not only did he change his mount, but his appearance had also changed a lot. He had a hair tied up on his head, with a glittering silver-white tin crown on it, pants on his legs, short boots on his feet, and a long-sleeved short robe with a cross collar on his body. He looked many times taller and more majestic than before.
The other dozens of followers were dressed similarly, but their clothes were simpler, and they did not have the tin crown that represented status and identity, but everyone had pants and more exquisite straw boots.
"Chief Ju, we meet again. I wonder how many pigs you want to exchange with us this time?" You Fu saw Ju coming to greet him in person, and quickly turned over and dismounted to greet Ju.
"Oh, you are finally here. Our white salt is not enough for even a month. If you don't come again, we will have no way to live in the future. Tell me quickly, did you bring white salt this time? Is it too much?" Ju quickly grabbed You Fu's arm and asked.
