Chapter 272: Abandoning Martial Arts
"Isn't this really kidding me?"
Although the harvest is organic rice, no pollution, no chemical fertilizers, and no pesticides, can this yield really be considered a bumper harvest?
However, the truth struck him mercilessly once again, and it was indeed a good harvest, according to Tsukasa, they used to have such a large piece of land, and only the yield of half a basket. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Could it be that your strength has increased?" Su Yang looked at his arms seriously, and finally after many verifications, he deduced that a back basket could probably hold more than 100 catties of rice.
Using his method to plant that one acre, the basket was loaded to the tip, and it was estimated that after removing the whiskers of the rice ears and drying the rice, he could get about 90 catties of grain. The old way of the hat can be seventy pounds. And the output of the Dongyi Long clan is guessed to be only more than fifty catties.
He summed it up, the Dongyi Long clan used slash-and-burn farming, that is, once the wasteland was burned, it was sown the next year, and the land was not ploughed. However, the sowing of the hat is relatively scattered, not horizontal and vertical, not fixed spacing, and no simple natural fertilizer is applied, so it causes a gap in yield.
But this is too painful, even according to his method, 90 catties of millet per acre, after threshing, I am afraid that there will only be more than 40 catties of rice, and he will be able to eat it all in a month, let alone feed more clansmen.
"Wait, how did you make hybrid rice?" He struggled to recall, hoping to remember the relevant information, not to mention, there was really a lot of information.
If he abandons martial arts and follows literature now, faces the small river, and spends his life researching hybrid rice, he may be able to change the grain production from the primitive period and benefit future generations, how great is this.
Of course, you can also fail and eat bran for the rest of your life!
At this point, I had no choice but to accept it, planting about 80 acres of rice, and it is estimated that I can harvest more than 6,000 catties of dried rice, which is actually not bad, and can top the yield of five acres of paddy fields in modern times, sad!
So many people are waiting to be fed, why do they have to deal with each other? If it was just a small population of the Xiong clan at the beginning, it would be absolutely fine, but now it is a drop in the bucket, he can't help but aim at the mammoth, for today's plan, only large animals can save the city!
If he could, he wanted to keep all the rice seeds, and next year he could plant more than 2,000 acres, of course, depending on the winter, everyone can't starve to death, and stubbornly keep the seeds.
"Threshing the grain!"
The shouts came and went, once the rice was ripe, it would be harvested, and the other was worried that the grains would fall off and encounter heavy rains; Second, it still needs time to dry after harvesting, if the harvest is late, the weather is cooler, and the sunshine is not sufficient, then the millet can not be stored.
There are many people in the tribe, how can fifteen people harvest two acres a day, if you really want to grab the harvest, you can do it in one day.
However, because it had to be divided into batches, it took several days to return the grains to the basket and the straw was all tied, which can be regarded as a good harvest in general.
The golden grains look gratifying, can not be favoritism, he reluctantly took out about 100 catties of millet and rice, directly put the sun-dried rice ears into the stone trough, the millet can be scooped down, and then the two of them alternately back and forth.
It's easier to use leverage, but now there is a lot of labor, and it's faster to alternate between two or even three people.
When it is almost done, it is necessary to grab the grain, put it in the dustpan and bump, remove the excess chaff, and then continue to lick, and finally you can get white rice, and after grasping the strength, the broken rice is relatively small, which can be regarded as improving the rice yield a little bit.
However, the final rice grain is only about 40 catties, which cannot be accurate, but it should not be less than 37 catties, higher than 45 catties, this situation can only sigh. I hope that the sunshine on the hilly side will be more abundant, the climate will be warmer, and the yield per mu will be increased next year!
Forty catties of rice are distributed to thousands of people to eat, how can this special code be enough? On average, there are at most 20 grams of rice grains per person, which is a bit more expensive than gold.
Fortunately, the warriors gave their strength and hunted the three-headed beast back, and finally let everyone eat meat porridge, this story is too inspirational.
It took more than half a year, or even a year, to plant, and it turned out that it had to rely on hunting to keep everyone fed. If it is changed in the next life, Su Yang will probably be forced to go into the wilderness.
"Is this Mang, the rice Su said is so delicious."
The tribesmen snorted and drank the meat porridge, extremely satisfied, and finally understood why they planted rice, that is, the rice porridge was very small, and it was not enough to eat.
Su Yang is a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, he can cook rice into flowers, but he can't waste it.
While everyone was gathered to drink porridge, he stood on the back of the Kui Niu, and the sextuplets acted as a loudspeaker, only to see him say loudly: "There are people from the Xiong clan, you tell me whether the rice is good or not." ”
"It's delicious, we all like to eat, I'm full."
"I'm too full to eat."
These words made Su Yang once again make up his mind that in order to live a good life next year, he had to do this.
"No, I know you haven't had enough. Some people may be thinking, isn't Su the most generous, how can he harvest so much rice, but only take out such a small amount? I think everyone knows that winter is not far away, and we need to stock up on food for the winter.
But now I want to say that I want to store up the rest of the rice, and I won't eat it in the winter. Don't worry, just listen to what I'm talking about. ”
After a pause, he took a few deep breaths and said, "To be reasonable, the rice harvested now is not enough for us to eat, why? It's not that our people aren't industrious enough, or that we don't have enough land, but because we don't have enough seeds.
Last year, it was Elder Tsukasa who brought the seeds, and almost all of them were planted. Let's put it this way, it is equivalent to planting one person and then reaping thirty people. ”
As he spoke, he called the warriors to their posts, one on one side and thirty on the other, and then said, "If we eat twenty-nine now, there will be only one left, and next year there will be only thirty, and there will never be enough to eat."
But if we keep all thirty people, next year it will be ninety, and then everyone will have enough to eat. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the tribe, we must protect the rice and keep it as seeds.
But at the same time, I will not allow any of my people to starve to death, and if there is really no food to eat, I will also give rice to everyone, your life is more important than rice, more important than the future of the tribe, because you are the future of the tribe. ”
When he finished speaking, there was no thunderous applause as he imagined, and it lasted for a long time. But he won the cheers of the tribesmen, and everyone understood what he meant, and through the simple use of people to stand on the stake, they understood that if one seed was left, it would become thirty next year.
This year, 1,000 people can survive the winter, and next year 3,000 people can survive the winter, for the future of the tribe, everyone can understand, and the distribution power is in Su Yang's hands.
At this time, he also wanted to give hope to the tribesmen, and said: "You don't have to worry about the winter, there are mammoths on the other side of the hills, as long as you hunt a few, you can protect our whole clan for the winter." ”
Su Yang didn't just talk about it, he really planned to use a large number of soldiers to hunt mammoths, of course, he could only outwit them, how could he know if he didn't try. (To be continued.) )
