Chapter 71: Farming Ideas
Although Ye Yan was also very interested in planting, they still had to go back to boil medicine, so according to Zhou Xu's instructions, this area was basically handed over to the three people in the farming team.
Although the farming team has been established for some time, the expansion of its staff from one person to three people happened only yesterday.
As for actual planting experience, it is basically zero.
Before, he had been following their leader's instructions and turning the soil and accumulating fertilizer there.
Although this job is a bit tiring and a bit boring, basically nothing goes wrong. To some extent, life is quite comfortable.
And now, with the issuance of new tasks, as the leader of the farming group, the pressure on Wang Dashu really came up all of a sudden.
"Relax a little and don't be afraid of failure. Everyone in this world will fail. What's important is how to learn from failure, grow yourself, and avoid failure next time. Come on! I look forward to your results!"
Seeing the other person's nervousness, he smiled and encouraged him.
Apart from the newcomers who have just joined, Zhou Xu is now basically a god-like existence in the eyes of his tribal members.
One thing after another made the tribal members admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the tribe members, what their leader said was the truth! Even if he just said a simple word of encouragement, it would make the other party flattered.
Zhou Xu himself was of course aware of this, so he was never stingy with his encouragement and praise in the tribe.
With just a few simple words, he could enable all tribal members to gain full buffs. Why wouldn't he do such a thing?
The same is true this time.
Zhou Xu's words made Wang Dashu find his backbone instantly, and he felt more confident.
However, his knowledge about planting was limited after all, and he had basically said everything he knew. He probably wouldn't be able to play any role if he continued to stay here.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to planting, Wang Dashu and his team will have to slowly figure it out and accumulate experience on their own.
After leaving the farming area, Zhou Xu was looking at the planning blueprint in his hand, walking along a specific route while thinking about things in his mind.
He planned to dig a canal along this route.
Farming requires watering. There is a lake near their camp, not too far away. When there are few fields, they can carry water for irrigation.
However, as the scale of fields continues to expand, the shortcomings of this method, such as being labor-intensive, time-consuming and inefficient, will inevitably be exposed.
Under this premise, if you want to solve this problem once and for all, the best way is to dig a canal and bring water in directly.
This is undoubtedly a very laborious task.
Of course, Zhou Xu was not in a hurry at the moment.
That little bit of herbs is more than enough to water them every day.
But even if there is no rush, the project of digging the canal should be started slowly.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu immediately allocated manpower to set up the Construction Engineering Department.
In fact, to be honest, the logging team should be regarded as a subordinate unit of the Construction Engineering Department.
So after the Construction Engineering Department was established, Zhou Xu immediately assigned the logging team to it.
If the tribe wants to develop and construct, the Construction Engineering Department is definitely the core of the core. After all, theoretically speaking, all construction facilities must rely on the efforts of the Construction Engineering Department.
But at this stage, the Construction Engineering Department only has one thing to do, which is to slowly start digging canals.
As for building houses and stuff like that...
Zhou Xu had thought that as long as the tents were fully upgraded to wooden houses or thatched houses, their tribal camp would basically be officially upgraded to a village, right? But the problem now was that he didn't study architecture, and in the process of thinking carefully, he found that many of his problems could not be solved.
In fact, even if you really study architecture, in such a primitive environment, I am afraid that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
In this situation, if he just talked big and built the house with an air of complacency, he would most likely fail, and in the end this would just be a waste of precious manpower, material resources, and time.
In comparison, digging a canal is a relatively simple labor-intensive job. Once it is dug, it will clearly benefit the subsequent farming plan and can be used in any way, so it will not be a wasted trip.
"I have drawn the general route for you. I have placed a stone at every certain distance to mark it. You just need to dig along this route."
Holding a bone spear in his hand, Zhou Xu gestured while talking to the three members of the Construction Engineering Department in front of him.
That's right, at this moment, apart from the logging team, there are only three people in the construction engineering department, and these are the people he transferred from various places.
It was just digging a canal, so there was no rush. Zhou Xu estimated that three people taking shifts would be enough.
If there are any big projects in the future and the workload of the Construction Engineering Department increases, he will assign more people to it, but it is not needed for now.
"Start digging from the farming area, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to. Follow me."
As he was speaking, Zhou Xu led three people from the Construction Engineering Department to the lake.
"See this part? Don't dig up the part next to the lake yet. Wait until the end. Once you dig it up, the lake water will flow in, which will affect the subsequent work. Also..."
After talking about a few points to pay attention to, I looked up at the position of the sun in the sky. At this moment, I estimated that it was around two o'clock in the afternoon.
There are still at least two to three hours until dinner time, so we can't waste it.
After signaling to the three people from the Construction Engineering Department that they could start working, Zhou Xu stood up and walked towards the camp.
I first checked on the condition of the patients, and also paid attention to whether there were any new patients within the tribe. Then I went to the breeding area of the Ministry of Agriculture to check the breeding situation of wild rabbits.
During this process, time passed quietly, and the members of the transport team also returned to the Black Moon Camp smoothly.
"leader!"
After seeing Zhou Xu, they quickly put down the coal ore they had brought back and ran to Zhou Xu.
"how's it going?"
Faced with Zhou Xu's incoherent questions, the members of the transport team all showed great excitement.
“It’s definitely getting faster.”
After getting this answer, Zhou Xu confirmed the position of the sun again.
At this moment, the sun has slowly set, but it is estimated that there is still an hour before sunset.
In the past, when the transport team rushed back to the camp, the sun had already set halfway, but today they returned obviously earlier than usual.
The reason for this situation, if nothing unexpected happened, should be due to the chemical reaction between the mantra of "Enhance Speed" he had obtained before and his talent of "Evolution Leader"! Just like the talent of "Eye of Insight" brought better vision to the tribe members, when Zhou Xu obtained the mantra of "Enhance Speed", he wondered if this mantra could also bring some passive benefits to him and the tribe members.
But he doesn't have any professional equipment now, and as for the thing called "speed", if the improvement is not very obvious, you may not be able to feel it yourself.
Under this premise, who is the best candidate to test if you want to get the answer? Undoubtedly, it is the transport team that needs to run between the two camps every day! Updated, thanks to the book friend 'Xiong's Laofang' for the reward (this chapter is over)
