It is said that after Lieshan received Xuandu's advice, he returned to the tribe and directly discussed with the tribe leader the issue of centralized management of fruit trees. The leader was not a pedantic person, and Lieshan also told him about the things he had done for hundreds of generations.
The advice is not aimless, it directly calls for patience to plant some fruit trees together.
After ten years, fruit tree planting has reached a large scale and can become one of the tribe's foods and can also alleviate the food crisis in the tribe. The tribe leader took this opportunity to submit this planting method to build a reputation for Lieshan and lay the foundation for the future.
.
Since Fuxi taught fishing and hunting and set the rule that relatives should not intermarry, the human race has suffered fewer and fewer casualties in fighting wild beasts, eating more meat, and the physique of newborn babies has also been greatly enhanced, and those who survive have become smaller and smaller.
There used to be more.
But this has brought about another big problem, that is, food. The number of people has increased day by day in the past few decades, and fishing and hunting alone can no longer meet the needs of the tribe. However, there are fewer and fewer birds that can be hunted in the sky, and there are fewer and fewer birds that can be hunted on the ground.
There are fewer and fewer animals that can be shot and killed, but the food obtained is difficult to fill the belly. How to solve people's food problem? This has become another major test facing the human race.
Now that the Lieshan Tribe has submitted fruit tree planting methods, it has also made a huge contribution to the human race and can temporarily alleviate the food crisis of the human race.
"Lie Shan? I hope you will grow up quickly." Fuxi murmured, looking in the direction of Lie Shan's tribe.
However, if the fruit trees are planted for too long, they will easily grow oranges in the south and tangerines in the north, making it difficult to regulate them. As a result, the human race still faces the problem of hunger.
Since Lieshan became a disciple of Xuandu, even though there are methods such as fruit tree planting, the hunger problem of the tribe has not been completely changed. Fruit trees are easy to eat according to the weather. Although he has succeeded in practicing with Xuandu, he still thinks about that day in his heart.
The wish made. Now that Lieshan has grown up, he is thinking about how to solve the human race's food problem, and also wants to come to Xuandu to ask for a solution.
As soon as Xuandu stretched out his hand, a colorful nine-spiked tree appeared in his hand. When Lieshan saw it, he said.
"Teacher, isn't this something that birds often feed on? Could it be that this kind of plant can also be eaten by people in our human race?"
"Why not? You see, every year when the wild fruits mature, these birds always eat them first, which shows that the birds know what to eat. The same goes for the Jiu Gu Gu. Plant it in the soil.
Irrigate it with water, and when it is ripe, humans can eat it."
Lieshan was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly thanked him. Then he hurried back to the tribe, found an open space, and buried Jiusuigu in the soil. Lieshan took care of it carefully every day, and irrigated it with water according to Xuandu's words.
keep.
Xuandu is not just talking nonsense. This Jiusuigu is an edible food that he has carefully selected and will not harm the human race at all. For this, he has done many experiments.
Later, a piece of Nine-Eared Grain actually grew here. Seeing this, Lieshan followed Xuandu's method, rubbed the ears of grain in his hands and put them in his mouth. He felt that they were delicious and he was very happy.
Therefore, Lieshan hurriedly taught what he had learned to his tribe. Many tribesmen did not believe it at first, but with the attitude of giving it a try, they followed Lieshan's words and started planting. As expected, they got a lot of food. The tribesmen were overjoyed.
As a result, more people, led by Lieshan, cut down trees, cut away weeds, used axes, hoes, grass and other production tools to reclaim land and plant millet.
After all, millet only solves part of the human race's problems. It wants to truly solve the human race's food troubles. Moreover, millet is more filling than fruits and is more accepted and welcomed by the human race. But this is not enough, and Lieshan naturally knows it.
This principle.
After some thought, Lieshan got inspiration from millet. Millet can be planted every year, with an endless supply. If more grass and trees can be selected for human use and planted more, wouldn't everyone's food problem be solved?
?
At this time, grains and weeds grew together, herbs and flowers bloomed together. No one could tell which ones were edible and which ones were not. Lieshan tasted them one by one and tried planting them one by one. For this reason,
Lieshan often eats poisonous things by mistake, but he has a crystal belly and can distinguish poisonous things very well, allowing him to sense them in advance and get out of danger as soon as possible.
But even so, Lieshan still experienced many crises. If it weren't for Xuandu's rescue, he would have died long ago. It was only at this time that Xuandu realized that Lieshan actually had such a belly, and he felt lucky and excited for him.
However, Lieshan's many attempts finally yielded results. Among the many plants, Lieshan selected rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot.
Lieshan took the initiative to pass on farming skills to other tribes and handed them over to the common master to solve the food crisis of the human race. His reputation became more and more popular among the human race. Because Lieshan was good at miraculous farming, the human race respected him as Shen Nong.
Lieshan is now called Shennong. After Shennong taught the tribesmen how to grow grains, their lives began to improve. They already had enough food. The lives of the tribesmen were much easier, and they would not suffer from hunger for no reason!
However, there is an important problem in plant cultivation, and that is the weather problem. Weather changes are not under the control of humans, and the irrigation of grains has become the biggest problem. Sometimes, when natural disasters occur, the grain harvest in the fields will fail.
So, Shennong began to think about how to solve the water source problem again. After thinking for a long time, he got nothing, so he could only go to Xuandu again to ask for advice. When he saw Xuandu, Shennong told his troubles, and then looked forward to it expectantly.
Go to Xuandu.
Xuandu looked at Shennong's expectant eyes and thought about it carefully, but found no good solution. Suddenly, he saw a spring appearing on the mountain wall, and his spiritual consciousness explored the mountain and the ground, and it suddenly became clear. He smiled slightly and said
.
"Water sources are not only found in rivers and seas, there are also water sources underground."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and went to practice. When Shen Nong heard this, he was a little confused, but when he saw that Xuandu was already in a state of confusion after he finished speaking, he did not dare to disturb him anymore and got up and returned to the tribe.
After returning to the tribe, Lieshan thought carefully about Xuandu's words. After a while, Shennong found a few young men from the tribe and started digging in an open space. When he dug five feet down, suddenly, a big
Water gushes out from the ground.
Lieshan was overjoyed to see this, so he promoted this method among the tribes and taught the tribesmen to dig wells to draw water and irrigate crops. In this way, the Jiang surnamed tribe gradually became stronger, and the Jiang surnamed tribe became like the original Fuxi tribe.
Similarly, some surrounding tribes also joined the Jiang tribe, and the scale of the Jiang tribe continued to expand.
Lieshan's fame also spread, and for a while, Lieshan's reputation among the human race greatly increased. Soon after, Fuxi, who was far away in Chendu, also heard about Lieshan's deeds, and couldn't help but be very interested in him.
He actually solved the food problem that gave me a headache and couldn't figure out the solution. It seems that he must be a real great sage.
"It seems it's you, and it's time." Fuxi has now decided to go to Shennong to see if he can really entrust the human race. He is about to complete his merits and can't delay it any longer.
