Chapter 440: Free Labor
"They said, how can our tribe have so much hemp, and there is already a lot of hemp, why do we exchange them."
Bai Xuemei acted as an interpreter with Han Cheng on the side.
Why exchange yours?
Of course, I want to find some cheap weavers, and then I will absorb and integrate you little by little.
After listening to Bai Xuemei's translation, Han Cheng looked at the people of the Fire Tribe who were at a loss and thought in his heart, of course, he would not say such a thing.
"Hemp is grown by us, and as long as the hemp skin is needed, we need a lot."
Han Cheng said with a sincere face.
Planted?
What is a 'species'? How can there be a lot of hemp coming out?
After listening to Bai Xuemei's translated words, Huo Songyi looked even more dazed.
"To plant is to bury the seeds of hemp in the soil, and in time a lot of hemp will grow."
Han Cheng shook his head and explained to a few people from the Fire Tribe what a 'seed' was.
Huo Song and a few people still seem to understand but don't understand.
In order to let them understand more intuitively what the 'seed' was all about, Han Chengcheng took them back to the tribe, asked them to take out the stone skull and bone shovel, let Huo Song and a few people take it, and led them to the edge of the field of the Qingque tribe together.
There, there is a group of people from the Qingque tribe who are clearing the wasteland.
It is to be expected that the population of the Blue Sparrow tribe will increase considerably.
As the population increases, the demand for food also increases, so the matter of clearing the wasteland, under Han Cheng's arrangement, has been going on.
However, compared with last year's concentrated efforts to open up the wasteland, this year's Qingque tribe is not so urgent, after all, they already have six or seven hundred acres of land.
"This is the planting of hemp, using this thing, turning the land over, breaking it up, and burying the hemp seeds in it......"
Han Cheng pointed to the exit of a dozen or so people from the Qingque tribe who were clearing the wasteland.
After translating to them through Bai Xuemei, she asked a few people from Huosong, holding a stone skull and a bone shovel, to learn from the people of the Qingque tribe to help open up the wasteland here.
Is the free food of the Blue Sparrow tribe so delicious?
How could Han Cheng let go of such free labor?
Han Cheng looked at the Huosong people who were clumsily cultivating the wasteland of the other people of the Qingque tribe with their skulls and shovels, and smiled like thieves.
Teaching the innate skill of farming, which was brought from the afterlife, to the Fire Tribe was a decision made by Han Cheng after careful consideration.
Turning the Fire Tribe into a weaver and making it more and more dependent on the Blue Sparrow Tribe was something Han Cheng had planned a long time ago.
What we are doing now is the companion step of this plan.
If you want the Fire Tribe to become a weaver, one of the important conditions is to have hemp to spin.
There are indeed a lot of wild hemp in Yau Ma Tei, but they can't help but harvest a large amount every year.
After several years in a row, the wild hemp in Yau Ma Tei will gradually become extinct, just like the millet around the green tribe.
In order not to let the Fire Tribe follow the old path of the Green Tribe, Han Chengcheng released the skill of farming.
Of course, if the Fire Tribe had edible food like the Green Tribe, Han Cheng would definitely not behave like he did now.
But hemp is a different story.
This thing can't be eaten, and so far, apart from the Qingque tribe, there is basically no tribe that has a great demand for it.
And when Han Cheng taught them to farm, he would only teach them to grow hemp, and nothing else would be mentioned.
In this way, even if there is edible food around their tribe, they will not immediately think about planting it.
Even if you want to plant, you won't make much progress in the short term.
The Qingque Tribe has Han Cheng, a cheater who is very familiar with farming, etc., and it has taken a few years to develop to the current level, and it is simply impossible for the Fire Tribe to quickly get rid of gathering, fishing and hunting and move towards farming that can support a larger population with the help of what Han Cheng has imparted.
Of course, even if he had such confidence, when trading with the Fire Tribe in the future, Han Cheng would also do a good job of controlling it and not let a single grain of unhulled grain flow into the Fire Tribe.
The Huo Song people, who were gradually familiar with the stone shovel and the bone shovel, didn't know that this noble god who was standing on the side and watching them turn the ground would actually think about so many things.
Through Bai Xuemei, Han Cheng informed Huosong that the four men would continue to cultivate the land here, and the other four female primitives would be led back to the place where the hemp was peeled.
Because the place where the land was cultivated was not too far from the place where the hemp was peeled, and the divine son of this tribe gave the impression that he was as kind as ever, Huo Song didn't feel anything wrong with Han Cheng's behavior of separating them.
In fact, Han Cheng really didn't have any thoughts about these female primitives of the Fire Tribe, but these female primitives looked at him with a straight gaze, which made Han Cheng have the urge to retreat......
I took them to the river because I wanted them to follow the people of the Qingque tribe and learn how to peel and wash hemp.
The hemp brought by the Fire Tribe this time was not well made, and the hemp that was not well made could not be used to weave cloth.
It's okay to spin it, but the quality of the linen cloth that is spun is too touching......
Since Han Cheng is going to let the people of the Fire Tribe be cheap weavers of the Qingque Tribe, then he must teach the things about textiles well.
After all, these cloths are to be used by their own tribes when the time comes.
Bai Xuemei, who got Han Cheng's instructions, seriously talked to a few women from the Fire Tribe there about how to make hemp and what kind of hemp was made, so that it could be considered a success, and it could be fished out and skinned.
The women of several tribes listened very carefully.
Time flies, and after another hearty and delicious meal, night has already fallen.
Eight people from the Fire Tribe were placed in twelve grass-roofed houses that had only been built this year.
Inside the house, there were three kangs that had been laid and covered with thick hay.
The fire pine who ate and the other people of the fire tribe lay on this flat kang with no ups and downs, feeling the softness under them, and still felt a little like a dream.
This is what this tribe calls 'kang', and it is so comfortable to sleep on, spacious and flat.
This is different from the cave house, it is also very comfortable to live in, not only spacious, but also orderly, that is, there is no fire in the room, which makes Huo Song and others a little uncomfortable.
The animal skin that the fire pine pulls and covers its body with his hands is extremely soft and comfortable next to his body, which is completely different from the hard animal skin of their tribe...... Everything about this tribe is so fascinating.
After lying here for a while, the fire pine fell asleep, and when he was about to sleep, he was still thinking about what the noble son of God had said at dinner to-night, and what he would let them see tomorrow......
