Chapter 80 Farming Plans
Xiao Ning's proposal of the concept of farming will bring the desert island into a new era!
Agrarian civilization! Agrarian society!
This historic turning point will be witnessed by Xiao Ning!
Not only testimonial, but he will be personally involved!
As the saying goes, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, if you want to farm, you must first have farming tools!
Xiao Ning had to make a large number of farming tools first, which was also a very laborious job.
Yi Lin Feng transferred all the young and middle-aged laborers of the whole clan and let Xiao Ning command.
Xiao Ning chose a large plain suitable for farming, and then asked them to clear the obstacles such as large stones on it first, while Xiao Ning himself went to mass produce farming tools.
However, Xiao Ning can't make everything by himself, he will prepare the materials, and then let the people of the Yilin tribe assemble the farm tools together.
As it stands, the simplest and most effective farm tool is the hoe!
The nearby iron ore resources are very rich, and the Ilin tribe, including the other races on the desert island, do not know how to make iron, and certainly do not mine these resources.
Xiao Ning had already built a melting pot some time ago!
Xiao Ning commanded the people of the Yilin tribe, first mining iron ore and then throwing it into the furnace.
Batches of molten iron flowed out of the furnace, and Xiao Ning used the stone molds that had been painstakingly chiseled out to shape the molten iron into hoes.
And just like that, it took three days for the first batch of a thousand hoes to be made.
Xiao Ning first assembled a thousand hoes, and then led a thousand people to reclaim the wasteland, and the rest continued to supervise the hoes here.
Xiao Ning personally went to the field and demonstrated how to use a hoe and how to cultivate.
It's nothing more than ploughing the ground first, then sowing seeds, then irrigating, and finally taking care of it.
Xiao Ning predicts that the yield per mu of the first batch of potatoes should be about 2,000 kilograms, after all, they have no organic fertilizer and no pesticides, which will cause many potato seedlings to die young, resulting in reduced yields.
Half a month later, more than 5,000 hoes had been put into use, and the young adults of the Yilin tribe were also divided into two batches and took turns to reclaim the wasteland.
In another four or five days, 100 acres of fertile land will be opened up!
Xiao Ning looked at the people working in the fields, he was very satisfied, he had a feeling of being the emperor of the soil!
"Not bad. ”
Yi Linfeng didn't know when he appeared next to Xiao Ning, this kind of scene of five thousand people reclaiming wasteland at the same time, he had never seen it, and when he saw it for the first time, he was indeed shocked.
It turns out that this is farming!
Yi Lin Feng also went to experience it himself, but he felt a trace of backache the next day.
As the patriarch, he has not done it himself for many years, so his physical functions have deteriorated.
"I expect to be able to sow ten acres of potatoes. Xiao Ning said.
"Ten acres, then what are you doing with a hundred acres?" Yi Linfeng was stunned for a moment.
"There are other things to sow besides potatoes, after all, I can't find so many good potatoes to sow seeds. Xiao Ning explained.
"Okay. Yi Lin Feng felt a little lost in his heart.
"As long as these ten acres of potatoes are produced, we can plant 100 acres, or even 1,000 acres!" Xiao Ning said.
"It's all over to you, this time, hard work for you. Yi Linfeng nodded, patted Xiao Ning on the shoulder, and left.
Xiao Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth, it's better to leave it to him!
During this time, Xiao Ning and these young adults of the Yilin clan became one, and many people's worship of Xiao Ning was jumping up!
It won't be long before Xiao Ning's prestige among the Yilin clan will definitely overshadow the dead first warrior Yilinhai!
Xiao Ning glanced at the land that was being reclaimed, and turned to leave.
In addition to potatoes, he also plans to plant some sweet potatoes, fruit trees, and more.
However, he is still looking for good varieties that can be cultivated artificially.
Xiao Ning felt that he was about to become an ancient emperor, and this was opening a new era of cultivation!
When the farming is completed, Xiao Ning still has plans to engage in animal husbandry!
After all, farming and animal husbandry have not been separated since ancient times!
Next to Xiao Ning's residence, there are already two more small houses, and in the small houses, there are some small animals!
Xiao Ning got into one of the small houses, and inside, there were two little cows!
These two little cows were snatched out of the herd by Xiao Ning and the people of the Yilin tribe!
These two little cows, not like the ones seen on TV, have black and white markings, but are gray all over, and one of them is mixed with a trace of white veins.
If Xiao Ning is not mistaken, the ancestor of the cow seems to be a creature called the original cow, but this creature is extinct.
Xiao Ning guessed that these two little cows were probably the original cows!
After all, on this isolated desert island, Xiao Ning has already seen many magical species.
Some of the species that have been confirmed extinct may be found on this desert island!
Xiao Ning touched the heads of the two little cows, but the two little cows were so fierce that they actually took their heads to the palms of Xiao Ning's hands.
"It seems that the road to domestication is very long!" Xiao Ning smiled.
These two little cows, one male and one female, were specially selected by Xiao Ning, and after a few generations have passed, they should be able to be domesticated into domestic small cows.
Xiao Ning went to another small house, and Xiao Ning had just entered when he heard a few howls.
There are a few newly weaned wolf cubs in it!
The ancestor of the dog was the wolf, but it was domesticated with disdain by human beings that it became a dog.
What Xiao Ning has to do is to domesticate the offspring of these wolf cubs into dogs!
Dogs are one of man's most powerful helpers!
Whether it's hunting or taking care of the house, with the help of dogs, humans can be much easier.
It can be said that Xiao Ning's plan is a bit grandiose, and he is setting it according to history to speed up the process of the desert island civilization level!
If everything is as Xiao Ning envisions, Xiao Ning may be able to witness the changes of one era after another!
"Xiao Ning! Xiao Ning!"
At this time, Illin Ruth came, shouting Xiao Ning's name.
Illin Ruth is one of the ten beauties that Illin Feng gave to Xiao Ning, and she is also the closest to Illin Mia.
Illin Ruth can also speak some Chinese language, all of which she learned from Illin Mia.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ning walked out of the house.
"Dig up some, something special!" said Illinruth.
"What's that?"
Xiao Ning squinted, Yilin Ruth was also reclaiming the wasteland, she said that she had dug something, so it must have been dug in the wasteland.
What could it be?
"I can't tell, come with me!"
Illin Ruth directly took Xiao Ning's hand and ran towards the place where the wasteland had been reclaimed.
