Chapter 154 Developing the Textile Industry

After returning to Zhonghua City, Hua Xi immediately took his tribe members to the mulberry forest.

With the help of horses this time, Hua Xi rode around this mulberry forest roughly and covered a large area, with an estimated size of dozens of hectares, which is about the same area as the area of ​​a Chinese city.

Sometimes, when people are lucky, they usually find a marijuana field near the foot of the hill when they walk around the mulberry forest.

Sudden surprises made Hua Xi almost stop thinking. Now his mind was filled with his comfortable linen and silk-woven dresses, marijuana, which can be used to make anesthetics. The hemp made by Hua Tuo in later generations

Boiling powder is made of marijuana, in addition to it, it is also excellent material for clothes, ropes, and sacks.

High strength, hygroscopicity and heat conductivity, making hemp still the main material for making clothes today. In addition, hemp has good dyeing properties. After dyeing, it is bright in color and does not fade easily. It is also the history of cannabis in humans for thousands of years.

, It is an important feature of still standing still. At the same time, hemp is also a material for papermaking. However, compared with the previous characteristics, hemp is relatively rarely used in papermaking.

There is not much marijuana here, and there are only about two or three hundred plants suddenly. However, Hua Xi is full of confidence. Since there is such a small piece of marijuana growing here, I think there will be other marijuana fields nearby.

Riding a horse and jogging, Hua Xi's attention was completely focused on the plants that kept retreating like a mirror in the back. Finally, the emperor paid off. Hua Xi and his party rode several times about two cups of tea from the Manglin Massage Field.

, I found several densely growing places of scattered land

Hua Xi and his group arrived, causing a lot of movement in the maddy area. Several groups of panicked pheasants kept flapping their wings, screaming in horror and crawling into a jungle next to them. Apart from the pheasants,

There were also a few wild boars. After seeing Hua Xi and his group strong, the wild boars wisely chose to retreat. However, before leaving, they trampled Madi as if they were protesting before they twisted their big butts and swayed towards the bush.

Run away in the bush

Looking at the small piece of madi trampled by wild boars and other desperate sabres, Hua Xi felt a stinging pain in his heart. These are all valuable things! Once the finished textile is processed and sold, how much profit can it be exchanged for the tribe!

Hua Xi immediately brought several cavalry back to the mulberry forest, brought more than a hundred tribesmen to the marijuana field, pointed to the large marijuana field in front of him and said, "Hurry, use bamboo strips and wooden strips to repair a fence as soon as possible,

Fence these crops!”

"Class leader, what are the uses of these plants? Need to be surrounded by fences?" A farmer carried an axe and said in confusion.

"Haha, don't underestimate these plants. They are called mahjong. We use them to make clothes that are much more comfortable than animal skins! Ropes that are tougher than vines, fishing nets and many things that can be used with mahjong

Make it, do you want to surround it?" Hua Xi leaned over and pulled up a leaf and said with a smile.

"Ah, this is something you want, of course!" The tribe members opened an O-shaped mouth and reacted for a while before they could react.

Hua Xi built two small villages in the marijuana field and mulberry forest. The original silkworm breeders and some farmers were moved here to relocate, and they were responsible for raising silkworms and caring for marijuana field here.

The work of planting mulberry trees and marijuana was temporarily postponed by Hua Xi. The first thing to do at present is to raise silkworms and breed the number of mulberry silkworms.

The construction of the small village was very fast, saving lime and stone and other building materials. Huaxi used wood and reeds to build a thatched house. It took half a month to finally build two small villages for convenience.

Hua Xi named the two small villages Sangcun and Macun respectively

Marijuana is now in its maturity period, so Hua Xi is not in a hurry to harvest it. Anyway, no one comes to rob the manpower and bet on mulberry leaves, transport mulberry silkworms and capture more wild silkworms in mulberry forests. Occasionally

You can find wild silkworms that are constantly waving and eating mulberry leaves.

Hua Xi swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Hehe, white and tender little baby, go back with me!" After that, he opened his rough palm and gently stretched towards the wild silkworm.

Those cute silkworms seemed to feel danger, and they stood up as if they wanted to protest and express their anger to Hua Xi, but their fate of being caught would never change because of these futile protests. One wild silkworm after another was in Hua Xi.

Under the actions of the tribe, they were all taken into wooden baskets one by one.

The only baskets of mulberry silkworms that were originally raised were brought by their tribesmen half a day later. While collecting mulberry silkworms, Hua Xi brought more than 60 people to the edge of the mulberry forest, approaching the mulberry trees with machetes while approaching the mulberry village.

Cut off the branches and leaves, and then carry them back to the mulberry village

Since the distance between mulberry trees and mulberry forests is very short, the time spent between round and round is not long, Hua Xi and the others brought back a large number of mulberry leaves and mulberry silkworms. The number of mulberry leaves and mulberry silkworms cannot be calculated, because how many

The bamboo baskets are densely packed with snow-white, fat and tender mulberry silkworms

Returning back to Sang Village with a full load, under the moonlight, Hua Xi found that there seemed to be some wild beasts wandering outside the thatched hut, and screamed a few times, so that Hua Xi and the others could

There were wild beasts around. All night, Hua Xi and more than a hundred tribesmen did not sleep well. Everyone held their weapons tightly, staring at the sleek black shadows that appeared from time to time outside the thatched hut.

Therefore, Hua Xi secretly blamed himself from the bottom of his heart, all because he was too anxious and ignored the safety of his tribe. Although Sangcun and Macun are called villages like Baishi Village, they are extremely simple and do not have the villages that Baishi Village has.

The walls and houses are also made of thatch and some wooden boards.

The next day, the sky was dark before dawn. When a wisp of fish belly just turned white in the distant sky, Hua Xi immediately rushed to the mulberry forest to cut down some mulberry branches and started to improve the safety of mulberry trees after a day.

With the efforts, the village wall made of wooden fences and fences finally made a good look. However, Hua Xi, who was always careful, kicked the village wall a few times, and even kept

Even if I don't shake, I was shaken by the reaction force, and I couldn't help but stagger in a while.

Although the village wall is only waist-high and has poor defense, it is finally stronger than none, so Hua Xi doesn't care much about these things.

There are many unknown beasts in the mountains. If some ferocious carnivores come over, this wooden fence will definitely not be able to withstand it. In order to increase the defense of the wooden fence a little, it will not be hit by some large beasts.

Break, come in and bite people. Hua Xi used some vines to wrap the wooden fence to make the village walls greatly increase. I believe that before the beasts break through the wooden fence, they have been in the village.

The tribe killed a lot

In addition to the houses we live in, there are naturally a few simple toilets in the mulberry village. On weekdays, people of our tribes mentioned the natural fertilizers to the mulberry forest to fertilize mulberry trees. Although they have little effect on the huge mulberry forest, they can also be regarded as giving these excrement.

There is a good opportunity to use waste

Before raising silkworms, dozens of large bamboo baskets were lined up by the tribe members, placed under a straw trellis, and then placed the mulberry leaves in the basket. After the preliminary work was completed, Hua Xi ordered the silkworms to raise silkworms.

The tribe members put the mulberry silkworms into the baskets covered with mulberry leaves according to a certain number.

Hua Xi stood under the straw rack with excitement and looked at the mulberry leaves that were constantly wriggling and willing to eat and eat a lot of vegetation. Hua Xi was so happy that the silkworm's life was from silkworm eggs - ant silkworms -

Cooked silkworms - cocoons and silkworm moths, for a total of more than 40 days, as long as the mulberry leaves are kept supplying continuously, it is estimated that by the beginning of next spring, the number of hundreds of thousands or even millions of mulberry silkworms will not be a big problem.

The life of a silkworm is basically about forty days. If a female moth can lay more than 500 eggs in one night before death, the reproduction rate will be very terrifying. A silkworm has formed a cocoon. According to Huaxi

As we know, if a cocoon strips out silk, it can reach a length of 1500-3000 meters. This is probably one of the reasons why silk is popular on a large scale.

However, after living in Mang Village for a few days, Hua Xi, who observed the breeding of mulberry silkworms, suddenly realized that the feeding speed of these mulberry silkworms was too fast. The batch of mulberry leaves collected a few days ago were almost gone, and they were naked.

The outside of the silkworm shed with bare mulberry branches, it seems that the mulberry tree planting should be put on the schedule as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the reproduction speed and encroachment speed of mulberry silkworms, this huge mulberry forest will not take a few years.

It's turned into a dry jungle

Things in Sang Village have temporarily stabilized. With several years of experience in raising silkworms, Hua Xi has been relieved to hand over the affairs of Sang Village to the clansmen. As for Ma Village, Hua Xi ordered the clansmen to harvest all the marijuana.

Dried, temporarily stored in the warehouse in Macun

Time is urgent, Hua Xi can only temporarily put the affairs of Sang Village and Ma Village, and put all his energy into the autumn harvest celebration.

Although eight thousand slaves were taken back by other tribes one after another before the autumn harvest work, Hua Xi was thinking of changing things in the face of danger, and pulled the soldiers and sailors into the fields and replenished the slaves in time.

The productivity gap caused by the production capacity and the overall process of farming continue to maintain a stable trend and move forward

However, in the process of some tribes receiving slaves, something happened that made Hua Xi feel troublesome. Some slaves learned that the tribes that had fought with them were going to Zhonghua City to bring them back to their tribe as slaves, and they gathered together.

Asked up for protests and commotion, and more and more slaves joined the camp, asking Hua Xi to recognize their Chinese identity and protect the private property they created over the past year, and naturally there were not many Chinese tribes with relatively tense sources of soldiers.

At the same time, Hua Xi wanted this effect. On the grounds that the slaves could not be suppressed, he discussed with those tribes for the last few disputes. Hua Xi agreed to use a slave as a slave.

The public price of 5 yuan was bought from some tribes. Some tribes obviously saw the surplus value that slaves could create. They all asked for a price of 8-12 yuan for these tribes.

Buy it

More than 8,000 slaves, Hua Xi spent more than 30,000 yuan in Chinese currency, and finally saved half of the slaves. As for the other slaves, they were taken away by several large tribes. The land that was about to be harvested was taken over by the soldiers and sailors.

The users of the farmland also naturally transitioned to these people who cultivated it.

The autumn harvest ceremony is extremely grand every day, and it is not at all inferior to the spring festival, slaughtering pigs and sheep, evaluating good planting, sharing experience, worshiping Huawei gods, going to the ancestral temple to listen to the priests' education, etc., all of them are

Activities for Autumn Harvest Celebration

As the tribe's patriarch, it is the top priority of the tribe. Hua Xi naturally has to attend all activities in person, host the activities, revitalize the atmosphere and other work. This autumn harvest celebration, many tribes have sent diplomatic envoys to celebrate. Of course, these

The main purpose of people is to hope that the Chinese tribes can lower the food price so that more tribes can eat the white rice of snow and snow. Hua Xi politely refused that his tribe had just struggled out of the food and clothing line.

Not even stockpiling enough food for emergencies, a fool would sell important food at a low price. It would be better to share it with the tribe members, at least to make the tribe members gain a little more flesh.

The harvest of the second phase of rice was unexpectedly good. With the irrigation of volcanic ash and manure, the soil quality has been improved to the point where it cannot be improved. Modern management methods are used. Under the effective liberation of manpower pressure, grain output has been added.

The staircase grain filled all the granaries of all sizes in the city of China. Hua Xi was surprised to open other material warehouses and temporarily stored the grain in it.

Although Hua Xi did not lower the food price, the diplomatic team's etiquette should still be used to treat rice for several consecutive days, so that those hungry foreigners could eat Hua Xi and give each person a 50 kilogram.

If they asked them to take the rice back and use it for their own food, no one would have thought that there were too many people who had complained about Hua Xi's refusal to lower the price of grain. When they took the bag of heavy rice, they had an unhappy expression.

In an instant, it was replaced by joy

People from the diplomatic groups such as the White Wolf Clan, the Doghead Clan, and the Yao Clan were so jealous that they saw that the warehouses in the city of China were filled with food. They were puzzled: Why can't these rice be harvested in their own tribes?

I have to travel thousands of miles to beg the Chinese to lower the food price

Before the diplomatic groups of various tribes left, Hua Xi spoke at the last banquet that there would be no possibility of a reduction in grain prices in the past few years. If a tribe wants to obtain more food, he can send his tribe members to live in the Chinese tribe.

Here they only need to pay 20% of the yield per mu, and the rest is the food they earn.

When some messengers asked about the seeds of ginger and garlic, Hua Xi also made a direct and clear answer. Crops such as ginger and garlic can be purchased in China City, without any restrictions

Regarding Hua Xi's proposal to move here to farm, two tribes agreed on the spot, and stated that after returning to the tribe, they immediately sent 1,000 and 2,000 labor force to come to the Chinese tribe to farm other tribes.

He was still watching and then decided after returning to the tribe!

In the subsequent sacrificial activities, all selected agricultural planting experts were asked to go to the square platform to share their planting experience and the impact of agriculture on themselves and their tribes! In the process of sharing these planting experts, all ethnic groups have

The messengers left a deep impression on them, except for a few large tribes, people from other tribes realized the far-reaching impact of the development of agriculture.

Many foreign envoys and powerful people have visited the Chinese ancestral temples many times, and have been worshipped by the great gods of Huawei. However, in this autumn harvest sacrifice, these people suddenly discovered that the ancestral temples are more majestic than before, and are simple and sacred.

The dark gate of the ancestral temple emanates from the bottom of the heart, making people feel the sacredness of the ancestral temple from the bottom of their hearts

In addition, Hua Xi saw that there were many tribes visiting this year's autumn harvest sacrifice. Since it reached a huge number of more than 30, Hua Xi decided to join an event temporarily - military exercise!

Hua Xi selected a unit composed of 100 cavalry and 300 infantry from the army. In the square that seems a bit narrow, he performed neat shouts and uniform movements in front of the diplomatic groups of various races.

, let all the audience applaud it

After watching the diplomatic team, they felt a feeling in their hearts: If our tribe fights with the Chinese army, maybe———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the core position among all tribes, this is what Hua Xi is happy about. Only when he becomes the core can other tribes revolve around him. It is difficult to leave his tribe in anything!
