Linde then called nine more people out one after another. These ten people in total were the ten who had made the greatest contributions on the scene. Others saw their bravery and hard work, so they thought it was very fair and had no objections.
These ten people were in the first stage of describing their merits, and then they started the second stage of describing their merits and continuing with the rewards. So they called out another twenty people one after another and asked them if they wanted to be rewarded according to the old rules or the new rules.
, these twenty people looked at each other and felt that the old rules were simply too weak, so they all said the new rules in unison.
In fact, the new rules are similar. Give them a big basket, and they can take whatever they like among the piles of goods, but they can only use the basket to carry them. Those with greater merit have the right to choose first, and those with less merit are picked last. Others think it is very important.
Fairness and honor.
After finishing this series of rewards, Linde announced that all families would be given an iron pot, a tea brick, two pieces of cloth, twenty needles, and a number of cattle, sheep, and horses. This distribution was carefully discussed.
It is enough for a family to live a well-fed life. In this way, the tribe has no worries about food and clothing, the most basic things are solved, and Linde's prestige is also established.
After this first step is solved, Lin Fengjin's idea must be slowly implemented, because the next thing will not come quickly even if it wants to, and there should be no way to proceed to the next step in two or three years.
Well, this can only be achieved by the joint efforts of the entire Sanli tribe.
On the second day after settling down the Sanli tribe members, Lin De, under Lin Fengjin's instruction, invited the tribe's warriors and elders, as well as Tuoba Zhen and her husband Yi Li, to come together.
We need to have a deep talk with them, because if the series of things Lin Fengjin wants to implement next are not supported by these people, it will be impossible to succeed.
At the beginning of the conversation, Lin Fengjin went straight to the point and revealed the most miserable scar of the tribes in Sanlibu and even on the grassland, which was the "sacrifice to Baimaofeng".
When mentioning this tragic incident, everyone's expressions changed. In fact, after Linde left the tribe,
The climate has gradually improved, and we have barely been able to survive the winters of the past two years, but everyone knows that it is just because we did not encounter disastrous weather and the white-haired wind did not come.
Lin Fengjin asked them a sharp question:
"Why did this tragedy happen?"
This question immediately made all of them speechless. For a moment, they looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
Lin Fengjin asked from another angle:
"Why did the Han people not sacrifice Baimaofeng?"
This question suddenly received many answers:
"Because the Han people can build cities and build houses, and light fires and kangs in the houses to keep warm."
Lin Fengjin continued:
"Why can't we build a city in Sanli and build houses to keep warm inside?"
Everyone was startled, wondering what was wrong with such an obvious question. Only Oli took a deep look at Lin Fengjin and said seriously:
"Because the grassland is not suitable for farming, and grazing requires a very wide pasture, and the grassland is full of predators of the weak, the tribe cannot be dispersed. Therefore, if a city is built, even if it is built, the main force of the tribe cannot return within the same day.
If you go to the city, it is equivalent to building it for the rest of the people. But if you just stay within a day's journey and graze, it is impossible to feed the people of the tribe."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"It's a very good and thorough explanation. But I would like to ask Uncle Radha again. You are a well-deserved authority in this regard. After grazing the pasture, how long will it take before it can be grazed again?"
Uncle Lada is one of the "four whips" of the Sanli Department. The question asked by Lin Fengjin was indeed the most authoritative answer given by him, so he hesitated and said:
"It takes two months for the grassland with the richest water and grass to recover after grazing. This is only from May to October every year."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"But I did an experiment a few days ago. I cut the grass on the grassland with a sickle close to the ground. Then I observed carefully and found that the grass would grow back in half a month at most.
Have you ever thought about the difference?"
Lin Fengjin's understatement was like a bolt from the blue that exploded in everyone's mind!!
They usually only know how to herd, hunt and fight according to the way passed down from their ancestors. How have they ever thought about these problems? Or even if someone has thought about it, how can they have Lin Fengjin's advanced knowledge to obtain a solution to this problem?
Seeing everyone's eyes in shock, sluggishness, or confusion, Lin Fengjin continued to throw out a piece of news:
"I once told Tuoba that if I had the chance, I could make the Sanli tribe no longer afraid of the threat of Baimaofeng within ten years, and everyone would have enough food and clothing. Yes, I am not bragging, especially now in Sanli
After joining the army, I believe that I can do this! It doesn’t even take ten years.”
"And to do this, we must first understand why Sanlibu is so helpless in the face of the power of heaven like Baimaofeng! In the final analysis, it's because of the mouths of the sheep you feed!"
After saying these words, everyone continued to be stunned and stunned. They really had no idea what Lin Fengjin was talking about. But in their hearts, for some reason, they felt that the mysterious Mr. Lin in front of them was definitely not telling lies.
Even though everyone couldn't understand what he said, they definitely knew that what he said was extremely powerful.
Lin Fengjin was obviously very satisfied with the reactions of the people present, and smiled and said:
"Why I say this is because I carefully observed the cattle and sheep you raised. When they were grazing and grazing, they not only ate the grass leaves, but also pulled out the grass roots and chewed them together.
!This is why it takes a full two or three months for the pasture to recover after grazing! If you can find a way to make them eat only the grass leaves and not chew the roots when grazing, then the pasture after grazing will take ten days
You can go again in half a month!”
After Lin Fengjin reached this point, he met Uncle Lada, who was good at herding, and Lin De and Lin De showed expressions of ecstasy and understanding on their faces, and they smiled and said:
"If you still don't understand at this time, you can ask your clan leaders."
Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire felt bag became lively. After about a cup of tea, everyone present looked at Lin Fengjin with almost admiration. But after a while, the two men, Lada and Ouli,
The individuals started to discuss it eagerly, and then Rada pointed at Lin Fengjin and saluted first, and then said respectfully:
"Mr. Lin, there is no way for us to make the animals we raise only eat grass leaves and not grass roots. Unless we mobilize manpower to cut the grass, in this case, the manpower will definitely not be enough. The cattle and sheep eat every day.
The amount of fodder is staggering. So although we know the root cause of the problem, we have no way to solve it."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"There is no way I can make the animals you are raising now obediently not eat grass roots."
When he said these words, everyone had a look of disappointment on their faces, but Lin Fengjin then smiled and said:
"But I know that in the Western Regions, there is a kind of Qiuci sheep that only eats grass leaves and does not eat grass roots."
After Lin Fengjin said these words, the whole felt bag was quiet for about a full minute, and then there was shouting and laughter! Lin Fengjin waited until they had vented enough, then took out a piece of silver and put it on the table
above.
"Suppose this ingot of silver is a city built on the grassland."
Then he dipped some tea in it and drew a circle outside the city:
"The area within this circle is the area of pasture that can be returned to the city within one day. If you follow your current grazing method, it will take two months for the place you pass by to be grazed again. Therefore, I have roughly calculated that this
A piece of pasture can only support a tribe of less than a thousand people."
"However, if the area of the pasture outside the city remains unchanged, it only takes about ten days for cattle and sheep to graze again, so the total number of people that this pasture can support can reach 10,000.
More than one person!”
"Next, we have to consider that there are few cities on the grassland. Once you successfully build a city, other tribes, large and small, will often choose your place when conducting transactions, so you will also receive a considerable part of the tax to compensate for the economy.
In the later stage, you can build Uburg around the city, and cultivate fields near Uburg. You will enter the semi-pastoral and semi-agricultural stage, and then the number of people who can live in the city will increase exponentially."
An extremely bright scene appeared before the eyes of all the Sanli tribesmen. Anyone who had experienced the white-haired wind and the cold winter on the grassland would not want to escape that terrible fate. However, they could not take the path of the Han people.
, can only envy, can only watch! But now, Lin Fengjin has truly presented the way to get rid of this fate in front of them, and it is not something illusory like the words of gods and Buddhas, but
It is a visible and tangible example, a goal that can be achieved as long as you work hard!
After the Sanli tribe members calmed down slightly, Lin Fengjin started to pour cold water on them:
"However, it seems that this matter is a very simple matter of introducing sheep breeding. Why did I tell Linde that it would take ten years to do this? And there are many talented people in Xirong and Dongxia, so why do they just
Didn't you consider this method? Could it be that they are all blind and deaf?"
