Chapter 26 The Crisis of the Mining Team
For the Hei Shui tribe, although it has its own language, it has no words. The language has been preserved by word of mouth.
Therefore, Tang Han had no way to post a notice to them, so he could only explain to them one by one after the announcement.
This alone took Tang Han a whole morning.
Tang Han was a little depressed. Although there were more than 600 people under his jurisdiction, there was no one who could assist in management. Even Zhang Long and Zhao Hu couldn't read a single word, so it would be great to be able to write his own name.
The demand for scholars is becoming increasingly urgent.
After the Hei Shui Tribe finished the lecture, Tang Han gathered all the villagers to preach. The villagers went smoothly, and they almost understood it as soon as they heard it. In addition, Tang Han had a high prestige, and the villagers expressed their support for whatever he said.
As for the setting up of the court, no one is capable of serving as a judge at present. Tang Han can only serve as this judge for the time being.
As for the yamen runners, they could only draw ten people from the militia to serve on their own part-time positions. They are usually responsible for patrolling in residential areas, warehouses, granaries and labor areas. Once someone is found to have violated the law, they will be arrested and handed over to Tang Han for interrogation and judgment.
When a great cause begins to prosper, everything can only be simplified.
Of course, in order to save resources, Tang Han did not build a prison cell to detain prisoners for the time being, but instead found an empty barracks in the barracks as a temporary cell.
Currently, the population is small, and even if there are crimes, there will not be too many. In addition, the process is simple, and a temporary cell is temporarily enough.
In this way, even if the law is formulated, the focus should still be on economic construction.
After some thought, Tang Han handed over the hunting errands to the people of the Black Water Tribe. These people have lived in the jungle for hundreds of years and are all good hunting players, so this errand is very suitable for them.
Tang Han used half of the freed manpower for farming, and the other half was used for searching and mining quarry.
"You walk up the river and walk to the foot of the mountain, where you should be able to harvest stones. Bring plenty of food and tools, and set off in a while. I will send a team of militia to protect you. Reward the first time after discovering ores such as stone or iron ore."
After Tang Han finished his instructions, he asked the kitchen to prepare food for the villagers who had transferred to work and became miners to have a full meal and then set off.
According to his judgment, the mountain in the distance is very likely to be a stone mountain. Moreover, the river next to Chang'an City seems to originate from that mountain. Once the stone is collected there, it can be transported by the river, which is very convenient.
Then, a stone processing site will be built by the river, and the stone can be used as building materials for initial processing.
After watching the miners set off, Tang Han returned to the Lord's Castle and came to the study room. He looked at the desk with a pair of armor and a knife.
This is what the Blackwater tribe peeled off from the man killed in the forest.
After careful consideration, Tang Han made a preliminary judgment.
The armor is not as precise as the mountain armor worn by Tang Han himself. It is just a very simple two-crotch armor. To put it bluntly, even the protective part is only the front, chest and back. Moreover, the production process of the armor on it is quite rough.
Let’s talk about that knife, the shape of the knife is very similar to the ring-headed knife that was popular in the Han Dynasty in China. The blade is straight and there is an iron ring at the end of the knife handle.
Tang Han tried to use the horizontal knife on his body to chop it against the ring-headed knife, but the first time the knife was knocked a big hole in the blade.
After another cut, the knife was cut into two pieces.
Although Tang Han's horizontal knife itself is a treasure knife, it breaks into two pieces after being cut twice, which also shows that the forging technology of this knife is not very clever.
Although Tang Han knows nothing about weapon forging, he also knows that if a weapon is durable, it requires continuous forging and tempering.
The more you exercise, the higher the quality of the weapon and the longer it will last.
Tang Han didn't use much force just now, but it was obvious that the knife in front of him was not forged too many times.
After making this preliminary judgment, Tang Han finally felt a little relieved. It seems that the development level of the civilization outside was equivalent to that of the Warring States Period. Even if it was slightly higher, it would not be much higher.
But then I thought about it that I was the only one who used iron weapons in my territory now, and the others were still using wooden weapons, which made Tang Han feel a little worried.
I really hope that the miners team sent this time can not only discover stone ores, but also iron ores. With the iron ore, there will be a foundation for building iron weapons.
An army is equipped with iron weapons, so it really has considerable combat effectiveness.
………………I am the super fierce dividing line………………
Time flies seven days, and there has been no news from the miners sent out, which makes Tang Han feel anxious.
What exactly is the situation? Did they encounter something unexpected? They are worried and confused, and Tang Han began to think about various unexpected situations.
He even sent a team of militia to search upstream along the river, but he still found nothing except killing a few spotted hyenas who were extremely hungry along the way.
This made Tang Han more and more anxious, and he even had the idea of taking someone to find him in person.
But as soon as this thought came to life, he suppressed it tightly.
Now the person who seems to be the most idle in the entire territory is him, but the most important and indispensable person is also him.
Not to mention anything else, once the territory is invaded by foreign lands, without him, the remaining people will not have much ability to resist. In addition, the Black Water Tribe has just surrendered and has not completely returned. Once they know that he has left, no one can tell what kind of thoughts these people will have.
Tang Han cannot take this risk, even if he loses these dozens of people, he cannot take this risk.
He led his personal soldiers to patrol the work area outside the city. The expression on his face looked very calm. No one knew that their emperor was worried at the moment.
After the villagers' efforts day and night, more than 300 acres of land have been initially reclaimed. A large amount of manure has been applied to the fields as organic fertilizer. The villagers have also found many dry fallen branches to burn them and then turned them into the fields as base fertilizer.
Each piece of field is two hundred steps long and one hundred steps wide. The fields are separated by ridges and serve as roads at the same time.
"Your Majesty, these fields have basically been prepared. Although they are sown a little late now, they will have some harvest next year." Zhao Fang, who was appointed as the temporary manager of the villagers by Tang Han, bent down and worked in the field. When he saw Tang Han coming, he hurriedly threw down his hoe and ran over excitedly.
Tang Han nodded and said, "You are responsible for this matter. It is not too late to sow the winter wheat now. People can harvest it in April and May, and we can harvest it in June. If you fatten the land in the first year, the land will not treat us badly in the future. However, these lands are relatively thin in the first year, and the seeds are sown a little less."
Zhao Fang wrote down one by one.
Tang Han intends to use these fields to grow wheat, after all, pasta will be used as a staple food in the future.
As for seeds, Tang Han can buy them from the market. Although the yield cannot be compared with the wheat that has been improved countless times in later generations, it is also much higher than the seeds that rely on manual selection to continuously improve.
Although it has not been verified yet, Tang Han still has this confidence.
Zhao Fanggang left, Qian Fei, who was responsible for the farming and sideline business, also rushed over to report his work: "Your Mahjong, the five-acre fish pond has been dug. As you told me, the fish pond is about one meter deep."
Tang Han said: "It's done well. Before putting fish fry in the fish pond, you must do a good job of disinfection and fertilization. Collect more animal feces to be used as base fertilizer, so that the microorganisms and aquatic plants in the fish pond will grow faster. As for the quicklime used for disinfection, I will find a way. If you want to catch some fish fry, you can try to catch some from the river at the same time. In addition, some chickens, ducks, geese, etc. As for shrimps, you can also raise some in the future depending on the situation."
Although Qian Fei couldn't understand what microorganisms were, he understood the general meaning.
He understands all the procedures that Tang Han said. After all, all these villagers have full life skills and are familiar with these things.
After all, the fish pond is troublesome. It is not just digging a big hole and putting some water and fry in it. There is a lot of preparation work to do.
After explaining Qian Fei, Li Mei, the responsible person for reclaiming the vegetable garden, came over again.
This woman is very capable, she is very enthusiastic in doing things and has a loud voice. When she sees Tang Han, she shouts loudly: "Your Majesty, our vegetable garden is ready, it is very beautiful. Please go over and take a look."
Of course, Tang Han would not refuse, so he followed her to see the vegetable garden again.
The vegetable garden has been reclaimed about ten acres of area, and it is built into ridges like wheat fields, separated by field ridges.
It is much easier to make a vegetable garden. It mainly requires fertilizer and uses human and animal manure and wood ash as fertilizer.
Although according to the season, it is now late autumn and early winter, there are still many vegetables that can be grown, such as spinach, white radish, cabbage and potatoes.
Tang Han can all buy these vegetable seeds from the market.
Looking at the flat and tidy vegetable garden, Tang Han was very satisfied: "It's done well. I'll send you seeds tomorrow. Then there are more cabbage and potatoes. These two yields are high. You can make kimchi in winter. In addition, it's best to surround the vegetable garden to prevent damage from wild animals and animals."
Li Mei smiled and said, "Please rest assured, you don't need to say that, I will do this too. Look over there, it's the branches we picked up, which are intended to be used to build fences."
Tang Han looked in the direction of her finger and found a lot of branches and thorns, and smiled and said, "You are considerate. When the vegetable garden is harvested, I will remember you great achievements."
"Then the relationship is good, I remember it." Li Mei was very happy and said with a smile.
After inspecting the agricultural area, Tang Han went to the logging area for a walk. Everyone's enthusiasm for labor was very high. When they saw the lord coming, they saluted and greeted him.
Tang Han encouraged him to go to the Heishui Tribe Residence to take a look. He should also show off his face in front of these people and constantly strengthen their sense of belonging to the new monarch.
