In addition, potatoes and corn are also crops introduced by Westerners from the Americas, and were first introduced to the Americas, and then introduced to Asia by sea, and have been widely planted, but in the late Ming Dynasty, they were not widely planted in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are fresh water resources on Nanri Island, the freshwater resources are not abundant, just enough for the people on the island, but it is not suitable for large-scale planting of rice that consumes more fresh water, so Yu Xiaotian thought about it again and again, and finally locked in upland rice, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes in the choice of planting crops, and only planted some rice in small amounts.

Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes are very suitable for dry field planting, the yield is relatively high, the important thing is that these things are relatively resistant to storage, if the conditions are suitable, can be stored for a long time will not be broken.

So he asked people to find a way to buy a batch of seeds and seeds of potatoes and corn, and even accidentally got a little chili seeds from a merchant in Izukawa.

This can make Yu Xiaotian happy, before Yu Xiaotian came to this era, he liked to eat spicy food, especially Sichuan hot pot, but after arriving here, he never had the opportunity to eat this thing again.

Other ingredients are easy to solve, pepper, cinnamon, star anise and other ingredients can be bought, and even pepper can be bought, but he has never been able to find chili peppers, this time inadvertently got such a little chili seeds, for Xiaotian this guy, but great news, so he specially selected two families, let them sow these chili seeds, expand them and keep the seeds, and prepare to plant a large area in the future, as a characteristic agriculture of theirs, at least can satisfy his appetite.

He came to this world, not just to endure hardship, if he has the opportunity to find a way to satisfy his appetite, what he has not eaten before, now he has to find a way to taste, and the food of this era can basically be said to be pure natural green food, no pesticide residues, no fertilizers, no pollution, if you don't take the opportunity to feast your mouth, it is better to be an ascetic.

Therefore, in Nanri Island, agriculture has developed very rapidly for more than a year, and under the hard work of the immigrants, the farmland has been gradually reclaimed and quickly planted with crops.

The newly reclaimed land belongs to raw fields, the fertility of the land is very poor, and the crop yield is very low, which makes Yu Xiaotian a little headache, but the matter was quickly resolved.

Because they live at sea, many of the surrounding desert islands are very rich in birds, many desert islands have accumulated a lot of guano resources over the years, and guano itself is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is an excellent natural fertilizer.

So Yu Xiaotian organized manpower ships to mine guano on these islands rich in guano resources, brought them back to Nanri Island, and applied them to the cultivated fields to improve the fertility of the soil.

In addition, after he presided over Nanri Island, the sanitary conditions of the areas where people gathered and lived on the island were strictly controlled, and a large number of dry toilets were established in all the places where people lived, and the feces excreted by people undoubtedly became the most sought-after goods for farmers on the island.

Rotting human feces have become the object of scrambling, and there have even been fights between farmers in some parts of the island in order to snatch the feces of some latrines.

In short, by the autumn of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the agricultural development of Nanri Island had been quite good, and although the grain crops produced that year could not fully meet the needs of all the people on Nanri Island for a year, they had at least met about seventy percent of their food needs, which made them reduce their expenditure on purchasing a large amount of grain.

The land tax implemented by Yu Xiaotian on Nanri Island is three out of ten, and those who cultivate farmland on Nanri Island must pay 30% of the field tax to the sea wolf after harvesting.

This tax rate is probably not small in later generations, but in this era, it is not high, because don't look at the land on the land, the land tax collected by the Ming Dynasty government is not high on the surface, but after the layers of officials at all levels, the burden on the peasants is very heavy.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were low, so they had to find a way to find a solution, so the unscrupulous officials came up with various methods such as fire consumption, kicking and showering tips to exploit the common people, making the burden of the common people very heavy.

More importantly, the local government will often because of various things, the common people will be levied and sent to the people, and the people will have to be forced to do it, so down, the common people are even more miserable, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty has also reached the extreme, a large number of people have lost the land they rely on for their livelihood, and a large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of landlords and magnates, so that the people can only rent farmland from them for cultivation, which makes their poverty even worse.

So at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the south was still a little better, after all, relatively speaking, the wind and rain were relatively smooth, although the people were poor to death, but after all, they did not starve to death in large numbers, but in the Central Plains and the north, because of the influence of the climate during the Xiaoice River, there were years of drought, locust plague and other natural disasters, making the people unhappy, so that it triggered a large area of peasant riots and uprisings, and eventually became the fundamental reason for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although Yu Xiaotian levied thirty percent of the land tax on Nanri Island, it was not too heavy for the immigrants who came here, and they still had seventy percent of the grain to keep for themselves, which was enough to meet their needs for a year, and even they had the savings to buy some other things.

At the same time, the sea wolves also practiced forced labor on Nanri Island, but their forced labor was mostly concentrated in the off-season, and as far as possible, according to the farming situation of each family, they took turns to work, so that their agricultural production was not affected too much.

Even the sea wolf also introduced that once the immigrant's closest children and sons enter the sea wolf to work, their family's forced labor can be completely exempted, and the field can also be exempted by half, so as to stimulate these immigrants to send their children into the sea wolf to do things, so that they can gradually integrate with the sea wolf.

In addition to these food crops, Yu Xiaotian also promoted the cultivation of crops such as fruits and vegetables in some places on Nanri Island that are not suitable for farming, and these crops should be managed as extensively as possible to reduce the consumption of labor and obtain a lot of by-products.

For these fruits and vegetables of agricultural and sideline products, Yu Xiaotian also ordered to spend money directly to buy, not forcibly requisitioned, so that farmers can also get another income to supplement their families, so after the immigrants from Nanri Island arrived here, under the support of the sea wolf, life can be said to be getting better and better, quite a bit of a feeling of not wanting to be happy.

In this way, the agricultural development on Nanri Island not only provided a relatively stable food supply for the sea wolves, but also provided a stable supply channel for the sea wolves.

In the past, things were basically done on the ship, mainly staple food and pickles, and the sea wolf tribe lived a little better, and they could get some salted fish and salted meat every day on the boat to supplement their nutrition, but few people could eat fresh vegetables or melons and fruits.

But in the autumn of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, when the Sea Wolves went out to sea on the ship, the food became abundant, and when they sailed for a short time, they could almost all eat fresh vegetables, of which potatoes were undoubtedly a very popular thing, and green vegetables were no longer scarce.

Even the sailors on the ship could eat an orange or a piece of grapefruit every day, and even occasionally even a lychee, which sailors would never have dared to think of before.

In addition to agriculture, the fishing industry on Nanri Island has also developed very rapidly, and there are only two small fishing villages on Nanri Island, with a total population of only 1,200 people and only a dozen small fishing boats.

Moreover, in addition to being exploited and oppressed by the shark gang, these fishermen also have to be careful of some small groups of pirates when they go to sea.

Some small groups of pirates did not have the strength to grab large ships, so they had to choose small fishing boats to start fishing, and the fishermen around Nanri Island used to be attacked by these small groups of pirates, in addition to being robbed of their fishing gear, sometimes even people and boats were forcibly plundered.

In addition, fishermen are exploited by land-based fishing tyrants, and they have to find ways to buy fishing boats and fishing gear, and their income is even more miserable all year round, and their lives are precarious.

After the sea wolf took control of Nanri Island, he reorganized all this, eliminated some small boats, repaired them and gave them to the fishermen to use as fishing boats, so that they could have usable vehicles, and at the same time, in the form of loans, helped them buy fishing gear for their fishing purposes.

In addition, the sea wolf swept the small pirates in the surrounding and Fuzhou seas, annexed or drove them away, accepted the fishermen's alarm, and acted as the identity of the maritime police.

Fishermen no longer fear being robbed of their fishing, and their catches have increased greatly with the improvement of their boats and fishing gear, and although some of their catches are also given to the sea wolves as a fishing tax, the catch is still much higher than before.

In addition, the sea wolves began to store a large amount of ice and provide fishermen with some fresh fish to store at sea, so that they could go out to sea for a much longer time, and the catch naturally increased significantly.

In addition, some famous fishing tyrants along the coast have also been warned or ruthlessly attacked by sea wolves, and several fishing tyrants who have a backstage behind them have been killed inexplicably, which greatly deters some coastal fishing tyrants, so that they no longer dare to bully and exploit the fishermen who sell fish on the shore as before, and the income of the fishermen is naturally much higher.

After more than a year, there were only two small fishing villages on Nanri Island, but in the autumn of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were three more fishing villages on Nanri Island, all of which were some nearby fishermen who ran over and moved here, voluntarily accepting the management and shelter of the sea wolf.

The number of fishermen on the island has grown by leaps and bounds to as many as six or seven hundred, and every day the sea wolves can obtain a large amount of fresh fish, in addition to the use of the day, there is also a large surplus, these catches are basically pickled, made into dried fish and stored, ready for the sea wolves to go out to sea.

This also provided a fairly good supply of nutrients for the sea wolf tribes, which greatly improved the constitution of the sea wolf tribes, and naturally greatly improved their combat effectiveness.

More importantly, these fishermen are also tied to the sea wolf's warship while accepting the protection of the sea wolf, they are also willing to help the sea wolf do things for their own interests, and when they volunteer to fish at sea, they help the sea wolf monitor the sea situation, once they find that there is something trouble, they would rather give up fishing, but also quickly run back to Nanri Island to report the news, and even rather light their own sails to inform the sea wolf.

And the sea wolf also gave them a great reward for doing this, every time they encountered such a situation, in addition to giving them a high reward, if the ship was damaged, it could also be sent to the ship for repair for free.

Therefore, in addition to providing a large number of meat products to the sea wolf, the fishermen have also become an indispensable eyeliner on the sea surface of the sea wolf.

Recently, a group of fishermen, under the persuasion of the sea wolf, have set off to the area of Jilong Bay, where they settle down to fish for a living, and gradually use these fishermen to reduce the long-term patrol activities of the sea wolf troops stationed there.

(Today, I would like to thank the two brothers Hanjiang Xueyi and Qingyu Wings for their generous rewards!) ）
