Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe - Chapter 119
The population of Xindi has now reached 1,200, and the reclaimed land has reached 5,000 mu. But it is still one thousand mu short of the land target of five mu per person set by Sang Yu. What’s more, Xindi has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Yanshan’s food.
Moreover, the planting industry in Tongzhen has just started, and new land is still needed.
Therefore, Sangyu attaches great importance to the tribal planting industry.
After returning from the Alliance Center, she immediately found Zhi and Rice and other members of the planting team for a meeting.
In addition to the two captains, there were more than ten other backbones participating in the meeting.
Now the number of planting teams has reached 300 people, and it is not enough to rely on branches and rice alone. What’s more, rice focuses on technology, and less personnel management is involved.
These ten backbones were jointly selected by Sang Yu and Zhi.
Mainly according to different planting links, focus on management.
Including arable land, breeding, fertilization, sowing, seedling protection, pollination, harvesting and drying, etc.
The same people, but with a different focus.
Moreover, these ten backbones have all joined the planting team early in the morning and have rich experience in this area.
Sang Yu also plans to wait for the education system to be perfected before repositioning departments and positions, clarifying the salary system and promotion system, and then incorporating these key team leaders into the tribal management position system.
“Zhi, first summarize the tribe’s land, production and personnel situation in recent years.”
Zhi was well prepared in this regard, and had already prepared all the materials when he received the meeting notice.
“Xindi currently has an area of 5,000 mu of arable land. Except for the stable production of cassava, which has been maintained at about two tons per mu, the yield of several other grains is about 400 to 500 catties per mu.
In fact, in the past few years, we were planting millet and beans. Even when it comes to rice, the yield per mu is no more than two hundred catties. Fortunately, there is a lot of fertilizer in the farm. After sterilization and fermentation, it is further transformed into organic fertilizer and returned to the farmland to ensure the fertility of the land.
And the agricultural research team led by Rice has made continuous breakthroughs in breeding and pest control, and now the output has finally doubled. “
Zhi said, with unconcealable excitement on his face, the eyes of the others were also bright, and the pride was beyond words.
Sang Yu knew these data well. Although there is no way to achieve the output of modern times, it is already a leap forward for this era.
Zhi continued to report, “Tongzhen has also opened up wasteland and cultivated land. But they started late, the first crop in the first half of this year, and the harvest was not very good. So this year’s food expenses there have to rely on our side.”
Sang Yu nodded, “So in the future, in addition to continuously expanding the area, we must also find ways to increase the yield per mu. Rice is what you are good at. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Rice nodded.
“Zhi, how will the 5,000 mu of land be distributed this year?”
“In the second half of the year, for the current crop, 2,000 mu of rice will be planted, and the remaining 3,000 mu will be planted with cassava, beans, and millet, and 100 mu of vegetables will be planted.”
“How is labor allocated?”
“In the past two years, with the blessing of animal power and iron farm tools. Especially the development of the Quyuan plow, a cow can now plow as much as three or four mu of land a day.
With the current amount of land in Xindi, it will take more than half a month to plow a hundred cows.
But compared to the previous efficiency of one acre of land per person for a few days, it is many times faster, and everyone is much more relaxed. “
“You do the math, how many acres of land does a person in the tribe need to live?” Sang Yu pondered.
In modern times, the country has always adhered to the policy of the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, which is how one-third of an acre of land per capita came about.
But here, without the blessing of chemical fertilizers, there is no way to feed a person with one-third of an acre of land.
Everyone heard the words, lowered their heads, took a pen to write and draw on paper, and after calculations, someone came up with the answer.
“Boss, two acres of land can feed people, and they can eat more food if they are bigger. But we also count the number of children in it, and the average is only a lot more.”
Rice said: “Combined with the blessing of meat from the breeding team, the per capita output of two to three acres can still solve the problem of food and clothing for one person.”
It is similar to Sang Yu’s calculation.
Only then did she show a satisfied smile: “The current amount of land development in Xindi is basically enough to feed the population of the three places.
When Tongzhen’s agriculture is fully developed, there will be a surplus of food.
But the future population will only increase. Therefore, the pace of land development cannot be stopped. “
Several key members nodded in agreement with her.
Zhi, however, was a little embarrassed: “Continue to develop the land, but also to cultivate and maintain it. I am afraid that we alone are not enough.”
“I’ve thought about this matter. The newly added population in the future will mainly be filled in agriculture. At least one thousand people will settle in the new place before the end of the year. Tell me how many people you want.”
Hearing that another thousand people joined in, Zhi had no worries at all.
“Now that the whole tribe comes to help during the busy farming season, it’s not bad, so we can’t eat so many people.”
“Well, when the time comes, we will arrange 500 people for you, and the planting team will directly expand to 800 people. At that time, the main focus of you few key personnel will still be on the transfer of management and experience. Don’t go to the fields yourself. We Talent is not used in this way.”
“Yes! Chief.”
After the meeting with the planting team, Sang Yu went to the handicraft team to find Mei.
Mei has only recently completed several large waterwheels by the river, and is currently doing some finishing work.
Seeing Sang Yu coming, he rushed to meet him.
Sang Yu looked at the newly built huge waterwheels by the river, and then followed the connecting mechanism to the workshop driven by their power, and he was relieved.
Once the machinery has developed to this point, the thinking of the handicraft team will be opened, and they will no longer be bound by the inherent ideas of the past. The future technology of the tribe will only go forward.
“I came here to arrange a job for you.” Sang Yu said straight to the point.
“I’m just worried that I don’t have any new work to do, so let the leader just say it.” Mei laughed.
“To make a car, we now have to rely on horses and donkeys to carry goods and people directly, and there is too little to pull. And the road to the rock tribe is almost completed, so I want to make a car. Get out of the car.”
Mei has no idea about cars, but after listening to Sang Yu, she probably understands what kind of thing her leader wants.
Probably something to be dragged by a horse.
But how to procrastinate, how to design, she is still a little ignorant.
Sang Yu pointed to the rotating water wheel not far away and said: “The design concept is simple, look at the wheel. If there are two small wheels on each side, connected to the same shaft, put wooden boards on them, and then tie them to On the back of a horse, with the help of animal power, the wheels turn as the horse runs, so it can move forward quickly.”
Mei was stunned, it turned out that this was okay.
She directly inferred: “Then there are a lot of things that can be loaded on the board. The weight of these things is not directly pressed on the horse’s back, and the horse does not have such a heavy burden. It can pull more things.”
Seeing Sang Yu nodding, she continued: “If you want to attract many people, you can surround the boards and make a small house, a small house that can move, and it can also prevent wind and rain.”
“Yes, that’s what I want. But the question is, what should I do with the wheels? If it’s just made of wood, will it be too bumpy and easy to fall apart? Is there anything soft and strong to wrap it around? Hold the wheel, reduce vibration and wear on the wheel skeleton.”
What Sang Yu can think of is rubber, but whether there are rubber trees is still a problem. It is said that there are rubber grasses in China, but I don’t know it.
We can only do it with wood for the time being, to meet the demand for goods first.
Mei got the inspiration from Sang Yu, and her mind was already spinning crazily.
Seeing her like this, Sang Yu originally wanted to tell her about Shao Rongcai, but felt that the other party’s mind was already on making the carriage, so she left with a sigh.
But as soon as he went out, he saw a little girl bouncing at the door.
Who else is it not Shao Rong.
Followed by her four-year-old daughter, Sang Jing, Shao Rong stopped when she saw Sang Yu, and the two of them saluted her respectfully, and called “Hello, leader” obediently.
Now Mr. Zhuang is in charge of specific teaching matters, and it also involves etiquette. These children now have a lot of rules in terms of etiquette.
Sang Yu said with a smile: “After school is over so early, it seems that I have made new friends.”
Sang Jing hurriedly answered, “It’s not a new friend, it’s an old friend.”
Sang Yu touched her nose, “It seems that the two of you have known each other for a long time, but I didn’t understand the situation.”
Only then did Shao Rong feel aggrieved and said: “Boss, you only went to school once this year, and the one who promised to help me with my homework didn’t even once.”
Sang Yu felt a little guilty, and said, “It’s true that I’ve been a bit busy recently, but it’s better to hit another day than to choose another day. Let’s go, go to my place, I’ll help you with your homework, and check what you’ve learned during this time.”
When Shao Rong heard the words, his face showed joy, and Sang Jing was also eager to try, wanting to go with him.
But was interrupted mercilessly by Sang Yu, “You are still in kindergarten, what can I teach you when you go?”
“But I want to be with Sister Shaorong, I will be obedient, I will not make a sound, and I will not disturb you.”
This little guy is the first child of the tribe, and Sang Yu naturally loves her. Seeing her pitiful appearance, she just wanted to tease her for a while.
“Okay, let’s make an exception this time and let you follow.”
Sang Jing ran over with a smile and hugged her thigh.
Seeing this, Shao Rong on the side showed an envious expression on his face.
Sang Yu knows that she is lonely with her mother now that she spends less time with her mother, but fortunately, Mei and Ya have a good personal relationship and often take care of her. Her grandfather is also here, and the little girl has generally had a good life in the past six months. .
“Your Aunt Mei is going to be busy again these two days, go tell her and let’s go.”
Only then did Shao Rong quickly walk towards the house, but came out soon after.
“Let’s go…” Sang Yu said, while holding a small hand, she walked towards her yard.
“Boss, the teacher asks us to practice calligraphy every day. My hands hurt. Can I stop practicing? Anyway, I know how to do it.”
“That won’t work…” Sang Yu said, “To do one thing, you have to practice constantly, practice more, and then you can become steel.”
