Chapter 59 High spirits!(1/2)

"Tsk!"

“There’s still a long way to go!”

Cao Xin sighed with emotion.

Savages are difficult to civilize, not only because they are unfamiliar with farm work and slow to learn, but this is even more true in terms of language.

Five months have passed and I still can’t even pronounce all the basic words and phrases that I need to use in my daily life.

Let alone literacy.

This is not something that happens overnight.

However, even under such conditions, Cao Xin still led a group of savages to accomplish great things during these five months——

View from high altitude.

In today's Cao Xin territory, in the dense jungle, you can see several open-air locations, with stone buildings rising from the ground.

One on the left and one on the right.

Including Cao Xin's stone house and the houses of the Wa savages, a total of four stone houses have been completed.

Among them, the one mainly inhabited by Wa people.

Cao Xin's house still only houses Cao Xin and the little wild man Cao Qubing, and the backyard is still used for storage.

The remaining newly built stone houses are still vacant. They are prepared as residences for other savages who may move to the territory in the future.

But it's still too early to think about letting more savages migrate here.

When there are too many people there will be chaos.

Have to wait a little longer.

Waiting until the Wa tribe savages have fully integrated into the territory and learned the rules and even the language of the territory before they start planning, using the old to lead the new, will save Cao Xin a lot of energy.

Therefore, the two newly built houses are still vacant for the time being and are only used as warehouses, with mostly wood piled inside.

These are four houses.

In addition, there are four chicken farms, which are well ventilated and warm. As for the summer heat, it is not necessary. In the dense forest, even in the scorching summer, it will not be too hot.

A series of gravel roads are paved, connecting the four houses with the four chicken farms, and leading to a crude brick kiln at one end.

This brick kiln is only experimental in nature for the time being.

In reality, Cao Xin contacted and accompanied Cao Ren to visit several brick kilns. He also spent money to purchase various technologies for building brick kilns and firing bricks and tiles from several skilled workers to contribute to the construction of the original fairyland territory.

Technical reserves.

However, due to shortages in manpower and technology, the brick-making business in the territory is still in its infancy, and is likely to remain in its infancy for a long time to come.

At the same time, there is also the pottery industry, which is also starting to explore.

Industry is tough.

In comparison, agriculture is much simpler.

Cao Xin met the Wa tribe last year and bought four calves and eight donkey calves not long after taking in the little savages.

Half of them died during the feeding process.

As of this year, there are only two calves and five donkeys that have successfully grown up and are useful.

To have animal power, you also need to have fields.

From before the winter of last year to the beginning of spring this year, Cao Xin organized the savage men and women of the Wa tribe to go into battle. In more than two months, he quickly cultivated 40 acres of paddy fields on the south bank of the original river.

The pace of reclamation is not fast.

Reclamation is extremely difficult.

On the one hand, the excavation and construction of ditches and ridges are time-consuming and laborious.

On the other hand, the aquatic weeds along the original river are easy to deal with, but the felling of trees and the entanglement of tree roots have caused great trouble to land reclamation.

That's why.

More than ten laborers.

More than two months of hard work.

In the end, only 40 acres of paddy fields were cultivated.

As an estimate, the yield of an ordinary paddy field in Western Capital is 300 kilograms per mu. Considering that the 40 acres of paddy fields in the original fairyland have just been cultivated in the first year, and the Wa tribe savages are not good at farming, the yield is tentatively discounted by half.

Calculated in this way, 40 acres of paddy field will produce about 6,000 kilograms of rice. Based on the rice production ratio of 70%, it is 4,200 kilograms of rice.

An adult labor force eats one pound of rice every day, and the output is enough to feed ten people for a year.

That is to say.

With only these 40 acres of paddy fields, the Wa people are still unable to be self-sufficient in food.

"The south bank is densely wooded and difficult to cultivate."

"These forty acres are almost the limit."

"After the Wa people have cultivated these 40 acres of paddy fields for a year or two and become familiar with farming and harvesting, we can let them cross the river to the north bank."

Cao Xin watched the savages working for a while, his thoughts racing, and he teleported to the Immortal Cliff, looking northward to the north bank of the original river.

The land there is flat, the grass grows long and warblers fly, and thousands of acres of fertile farmland can be cultivated with just a fire in autumn.

This is really a good place for farming.

Of course Cao Xin couldn't make it.

However, the Wa savages are not restricted and can cross the river to cultivate land.

Three to five years later.

There will definitely be no shortage of food, and we can even 'export' Daliang.

"The future is bright."

"The future is bright."

The new territory is full of hope.



"Pull the radish, pull the radish~"

"Hey, hey, hey, pull out the carrot~"

"Hey, hey, hey, I can't move~"



"I have a little donkey that I never ride,"

"One day I was riding to the market on a whim."

"I have a little leather whip in my hand and I feel very proud,"

"I don't know why I fell all over the mud."



From the house of the Wa clan, Cao Qubing's loud singing came from the house.

Following behind, there was another noise of chirping and wowing, as well as the barking of two native dogs.

The older children and the younger children gathered together in the same yard.

It was very lively.

Four female savages were sitting in the yard, all with their bellies bulging out.

have to say.

Savages are really good at making things!

There are only seven adult female savages in the Wa tribe. One winter passed and four of them were pregnant.

This also includes the female savage who just arrived in the territory last year and happened to give birth to 'Wa Xing'. She is now two months pregnant.

Among the three adult female savages working outside, two came to the territory pregnant last year, one was born in winter and the other was born in spring.

"It's so lively!"

Cao Xin glanced at the yard and felt happy.

When the Wa tribe first came to the territory, there were a total of twenty-four people, including the little savage Cao Qubing and 'Wa Xing' who happened to be born at that time.

It has now increased to twenty-six people.

And at least four new lives will be born this year.

Cao Xin was anxious to master the 'Women' subject among the thirteen medical subjects. In addition to conditioning Cao Zhang's body, a large part of it was because the Wa clan mother savages in the primitive immortal world could not do without him.

As a result, the dignified lord and the 'king' of the Wa tribe was reduced to a midwife.
