Chapter 577: The Empty City
Why? I have to start by mentioning these grasses.
Six million years ago, crops such as wheat and rice appeared in the grass family.
Things including corn, bamboo, and sugarcane all belong to the family Poaceae, and this family is like provinces, cities, counties, towns and townships, for example, primates belong to the Homo sapiens species.
The lower it is, the finer it is, and the grain crops in this grass family are relatively undisciplined, and natural hybridization began early, unlike animal hybridization, which has no good end.
They have a good end, and the food crops eaten in modern times are all natural or artificial hybrid products, and they should be eaten with mule meat.
Poaceae has a relatively large characteristic, there are Yingguo, that is, the wheat kernels of wheat and the corn kernels of corn.
Therefore, this kind of plant has become the main food that human beings can use.
Of course, Wang Yang did not plan to plant it because it was grain, but wondered whether to let some places have more grain.
Now it is not as good as before, it used to be a step-by-step development of the population, but now it is not, more than 5,000 people have been found, a total of more than 10,000 people, a few years can make the population blowout, if Wang Yang encourages fertility again, the population will be very large.
At this time, it is really impossible not to grow some food.
The main food of the country today is three aspects, crop grain, livestock, fruits.
In the past, it could prevail, firstly, the population was not large, and secondly, the population was concentrated, and the fruit trees were on the side, so there was no problem if you wanted to eat fruits.
Not anymore, after the population dispersed, the people began to hunt for a living. After all, I couldn't take care of that much at that time, and I couldn't help it.
Now since it is to establish a city-state. Then we can't let a group of young people hunt like we used to. It's too wasteful of labor.
At this time, should all be devoted to the development of production and growing food? Don't use these races.
Raising animals? How many animals do you need to keep in a town with a few hundred people that will soon grow to thousands of people? How many animals do I need to consume?
Can't afford it!
At this time, there are two ways, one is to increase the cultivation of wheat fields and build a huge basic grain warehouse.
The second is to draw out a part of the manpower. Grow food everywhere and be self-sufficient.
The first is to increase the planting area of wheat fields, which has the advantage of being able to concentrate manpower, and once manpower is concentrated, the efficiency is high, thus saving labor, and the wheat field has no obstacles and is open on all sides. There is little chance of a beast attack.
But there is also a very bad disadvantage, in case of a disaster in the wheat field, any accident, other towns and cities will face a shortage of food. I had to go back to my old business and hunt together.
The second, planted everywhere. The benefit of self-sufficiency is that a certain place suffers from a disaster. There are other rescues.
The disadvantage is that it is too scattered, and a piece of farmland needs to be carved out. First of all, we have to transfer people to open the fields, and then there must be a group of people to farm, and each land has a little people, that is, many people.
Wang Yang really feels that there are not enough manpower, which one to choose?
Temporarily, Wang Yang brought the head of the household department to Shoucang.
"I heard that there is still a lot of grain in the warehouse?"
"Does it include fruit?" Holding positions does not understand the specific range.
"No, just the rest."
"There is a lot of wheat, and the sweet potatoes have also been dried into dried sweet potatoes, and then stored and eaten for four or five years is not a problem." Shou replied.
"Yes." Wang Yang believes that if you include fruits, it is not a problem to eat them for six years, but unfortunately the fruits themselves contain a lot of water, which is not easy to preserve, and it is very remarkable to marinate them with salt and sugar, or seal them.
If it's in a slightly colder area, it can be left for a little longer, but unfortunately this is the tropics near the equator.
"Then you say, should we now introduce grain resources from other places to be planted in various places, or should we give up all of them and increase the planting area of wheat?" Wang Yang frowned and asked.
Keeping a position is thorough, not reasoning from the side of pleasure, but reasoning from which is more cost-effective.
"Giving up other crops, centralizing and unified scheduling, and expanding the wheat area can save at least half of the manpower."
"Well, this matter will be done like this, those officials who choose to guard the warehouse, tell them to pay more attention, check more, and ensure that everything is correct."
After deciding on this matter, Wang Yang still couldn't stretch his brows. Maybe it's the strange natural weather that has made him uneasy lately.
"Report! Further south of Iron Town, there was a volcanic eruption, spraying a large amount of magma, causing smoke to disperse in the vicinity for three days. ”
"I see."
In recent years, earthquakes have occurred frequently, and the returns of volcanic eruptions have also been seen a lot, and the strange weather signs have made Wang Yang very nervous, and he almost nervously asked the heavens.
"Okay, okay, that's it."
……
After less than half a month, many people were laid off and became laid-off unemployed young people, and they were not particularly stimulated by the appearance, because the "lure" part really attracted their hearts.
Anyway, in the old job, there is no competitiveness and no talent, so why not change places to make money?
All animals have the most basic rights, the right to move freely, and they are freer than modern humans.
When a native goes abroad, it is not necessarily a successful immigration, but it may be a tour.
Of course, the two still have something in common, and they may lose contact.
The crowd immediately set off, and this time more than 4,000 people were mobilized from the wheat fields and the forest, and went to more than 20 cities and towns with resources.
Due to the large number of people, there are only more than 2,000 people left in the wheat fields and forests and grasslands.
Of the more than 3,000 people, they are mainly concentrated in the wheat fields and forests, and the forests are the strictest, because there are three jobs on this side of the forest.
First, plant fruit trees.
Second, make zuò charcoal.
Third, obtain all kinds of resources that can be obtained from wood, such as processing tables and chairs, and extracting fibers.
In an instant, a large number of people were taken away, and only a few 500 people remained, and the buildings were really empty, and the first batch of houses were empty again.
The wheat fields are no better, there are only more than 500 people left, and they will not need to grow a lot of food this year anyway.
Wang Yang's order to summon the other detachments to the wheat field has also been issued, and it will not be long before they will return along the road and replenish them again.
The grassland is not affected, after all, it is the only breeding base, countless animals need to be protected and carefully raised, and there are still a thousand people left.
Looking at the teams of people and horses leaving from the two places, the lively streets became empty again, and Wang Yang was not interested.
Shaking his head: "It's really getting less and less lively." ”
Without people, the entire small building complex has completely become a paradise for Wang Yang to run wildly, running around when he has nothing to do, and staging a chase with a mouse and a tiger.
Shops are open as usual, but unfortunately there are too many fewer customers, and many shops no longer have a profitable attitude, just thinking that they can keep one day at a time, and don't lose money.
Many officials were also kicked out by Wang Yang, don't gather here all the time, and go to the local area to experience experience.
It is obviously a forest that is ready to become the national capital, but it is not as good as a few important resource bases.
Wiping a sweat, Wang Yang was quite speechless, and after another two months, a group of people had arrived in a relatively nearby town, and the flying pigeon came back to report safety.
There were even a lot of jokes, saying that several teams were merged, there were too many officials who were promised at the beginning, and no one listened to anyone, and they were about to fight, and the "Qin Cha" fell from the sky, scaring people stupidly.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yang sent many officials out to go out for training, to guard one side, and at the same time learn to adjust the contradictions of his subordinates.
Here in the forest, there are so many elders and Wang Yang in charge, no official dares to make trouble, and it is different in other places, and at this time, strong people are needed to "suppress".
Wang Yang himself seems too quiet here, like an empty city, walking in the streets, you can't hear the noisy children chasing and shouting, and you can't see the eyebrows dancing in the shops.
If you can't smell the strange aroma of "dregs" or delicacies coming from the lights of thousands of homes, naturally, no one will make trouble.
The most left is a group of students who are very happy, always thinking about helping Wang Yang stop the little guy on the street one day, and then being promoted by Wang Yang.
Morikura and the osteologist returned to the wheat field to take care of the country's great storehouse.
Zhang San and the Exorcists were also sent to various places, and Zhang San went to Iron Town, once there was a better iron smelting, he knew what kind of good tools could be made.
The exorcists went to another place to get something else.
The core cadres of what beast exorcism and so on were also sent out one after another, which was a rare opportunity to exercise, including oolong.
Oolong was sent to a place to find many other humans, taking advantage of his ability to communicate better, a bit like a diplomat.
Among the people who stayed, the more familiar ones were Li Si and Shouba, Li Si needless to say, he didn't have the heart to run around, and he didn't like it.
Shouba, his idea is simpler, the official is not big, he is up to the seventh grade, and he hasn't even mixed in the middle level.
Now he follows Wang Yang every day, he is very clever, and Wang Yang likes it very much.
"Shouba, do you know what another civilization is called by a guy like you who often reports all kinds of big and small things to me first?" On the second floor, Wang Yang shook the rocking chair and drank tea freely.
"What?" Shoupachi's eyes widened.
"This kind of behavior of yours is called making a small report, and it is usually done by an organization called Jinyiwei, and it is also done by spies, do you say I call you Jinyiwei? Or is it better to call it a spy? ”
Shouba didn't understand what it meant, but he thought that making a small report shouldn't be derogatory, right? So he said happily: "Spy, this sounds fresh, what kind of brocade guard, I sound like a team in beautiful clothes, it's not good." ”
"Haha! You, you! Forget it, the spies are also talking about fun. ”
Wang Yang was in a good mood, but he couldn't laugh the next moment, a big event was happening. (To be continued......)
