Chapter 257: This is the Base!

"Since there are so many plants and fruit trees in this forest, why don't I sow more seeds?"

This is inspired by sugar cane, and along the way, you can often see unknown fruit trees, which grow very fast in this tropical climate, and can be harvested after only one year.

And unlike wheat, wheat needs to be harvested and sown every year, while a fruit tree is planted for a year and harvested for countless years.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang's eyes lit up.

Fruit as their main food is not uncommon, and even in modern Africa, there are still some remote tribes that rely on fruit for food.

Baobab is one of them.

Should you follow suit? Turning this fertile forest into a big orchard?

He brought in the crowd and discussed it with Xiaohong in detail, asking them what they thought.

Xiaohong pointed out: "It is good to plant fruit trees, the fruit has a taste, it is delicious, it does not need to be cooked by a flame, and it is better than wheat." ”

The others also nodded, they had already lived a nomadic life, preferring meat and fruit to wheat.

Wang Yang touched his chin and felt very reasonable, this matter should be completely settled.

It's just that you still have to think about the details, and you can't ignore wheat just because the fruit is delicious.

Indeed, in everyone's proposal, Xiaohong said that all the dozens of people who planted wheat should come to the forest, not continue to open up wheat fields, but all come to the forest to open up orchards and plant fruit trees.

They ignore wheat a little bit according to their own preferences.

Wang Yang continued to discuss this detail with Xiaohong and others.

Something to open up an orchard. Much slower than ploughing a wheat field, after all, digging a tree is the same as pulling a weed. The amount of work is not the same.

Secondly, the fruit was harvested. It is very cumbersome to preserve, and if you can't bear fruit all year round, there will definitely be a blank period.

This gap can be replaced by hunting, anyway, the food sources in the forest are relatively abundant, and it is basically not too difficult to catch some animals.

It seems that even if dozens of people who grow wheat are transferred, it is not impossible.

Wang Yang squinted his eyes slightly, his brain flickered like electricity, the development of the orchard is certain, as soon as it comes. The food is abundant, the nutrition is abundant, and the physique and development of the people will definitely be better.

Second, I am also afraid that there will be any diseases in wheat, or natural disasters will lead to unfavorable years, so one more food choice can calmly deal with emergencies.

And conversely, what if the fruit trees are also suffering from disease? Is it possible to survive on wheat?

Wang Yang's eyes lit up. That's right, wheat has to be grown because it can be used as food for storage for a long time. Fruits, more to plant, one more choice to save a little more life.

"Just hunting. Never last! Wang Yang knew very well that as the number of people in the tribe increased. There is a growing demand for animals in the forest alone. It won't last long.

On the contrary, because large-scale hunting will destroy the ecosystem, lead to environmental degradation, and harm others and themselves.

Therefore, the development of agriculture and gardening is an inevitable choice, and when there are these two dependents, animal husbandry will definitely develop rapidly.

Thinking about it, Wang Yang smiled, and felt a hint of familiarity from it, didn't he do the same thing in the canyon at the beginning?

However, the situation at this time was very different from that time, when they still relied mainly on hunting, in other words, they did not have a strong foundation, and they depended on the sky for food.

Now the foundation is completely built on the lowest level of farming, then gardening, then animal husbandry, step by step, as stable as a rock.

When the most basic food and clothing are fixed, are you afraid that you won't have time to develop something else?

In the past, Wang Yang only developed agriculture and took the first step, and then the second and third steps were chaos, but now he has completely figured out the main line and goal of development, and his mind is suddenly extremely broad.

But at the same time, more ideas rushed to Wang Yang's head.

Since there is a group of people to watch the wheat side, and another group of people to watch here, does that mean that it is necessary to plan the division of priorities and the development of the base?

Which is more important, dividing the grassland as the base of wheat and this one as the base of the orchard?

This place is the base of the orchard, and at the same time the base of the charcoal processing, which is naturally extremely important.

The wheat side is the base of agriculture, and there is also a kiln, which is also very important.

It seems that both sides are similar, each has its own merits, but the book is dead, the man is alive, and it is good to have a kiln over there, but who says you can't build a kiln here?

Not only to build! And build a big kiln!

Wang Yang immediately told everyone that he would regard this forest as the main base.

What he said was in line with Xiaohong's thoughts, and Xiaohong was very happy and whined.

Thinking about it, Wang Yang glanced at the sugarcane in front of him, these sugarcanes have not yet become a forest, the number is only a few dozen, it is estimated that in this forest full of big trees, it is not easy to find a small piece of land that survives.

But it is conceivable that it will not be long before it becomes a sea of sugar cane.

And the cultivation of sugarcane is definitely not the main focus of everyone.

Wang Yang silently wrote down this location, took everyone back to the place where Zhang San was, and drew a plan for Zhang San.

"The development of wheat has reached its peak, except for diverting water into the canal and increasing the yield of wheat per acre, there is nothing more that can be developed, and the development of this place is the key now." Wang Yang said solemnly.

Everyone is very supportive, and there will be no doubt about everything Wang Yang said.

And Zhang San is extremely happy, he originally likes to live in the forest, he can see the kind wood every day, when his hands are itchy, he makes tools, it is really comfortable.

There is no happiest person than him.

Everyone laughed and laughed, thinking about growing delicious fruits.

Seeing them smiling and discussing excitedly, Wang Yang was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect everyone to like to live in the forest so much, it seems that it is not that the fruit is delicious, but that the wheat is too unpalatable.

He doesn't care, for him, he can live anywhere, but he needs to be in the forest when he has developed to this point.

The next day, Wang Yang began to instruct the three people who were transporting the charcoal to tell the wheat growers about their plans.

After all, he didn't listen to Xiaohong's advice, and called the exorcists here, after all, the wheat harvest is just as important, at least until next year, everyone will eat the main wheat.

Moreover, the forest is much more dangerous than the grassland, and poisonous snakes and beasts are everywhere, and those children must not be allowed to move over when a pure land has not developed.

After thinking about it, I thought about it, and then I started to open up the orchard. (To be continued......)
