Chapter Eighty-Three: Farming Begins at Last

The summer of 2016 for the earthlings is actually the summer on this side of the Gaia world, spring returns to the earth, warms the world, and although the scenery on the wasteland does not change as fast as described in this idiom, the change in the mood of the orcs brought by the warmth of this summer is obvious.

The glacier has thawed, the snow has begun to melt, the summer in the wasteland is the season of reproduction, the first major thing facing the orcs at present is to start busy preparing for the production of livestock waiting to be born in the tribe, thanks to Zhang Quan, the base mountain tribe kept a large number of livestock last winter, and it will come this summer, and there will be a lot of small lives in the tribe.

It was a message that made the people up and down the tribe laugh.

But as the patriarch of the base mountain, he must take a long-term view, in addition to expanding the herd according to the traditional breeding of the orcs, Zhang Quan also has a huge plan to do at this time.

……

Walter, the pearl of the West Coast, where the Leopard people's camp is being torn down by the new masters, is preparing to rebuild a decent stone castle here. It's going to be a whole new city.

Zhang Quan led a group of his men through the busy crowd of people in the camp, where the minotaur craftsmen were shouting loudly to guide their orcs to build the city, and walked out of the city, standing on the fertile wilderness outside the Walter camp, pointing to the green of the surrounding land.

"Our base mountain tribe wants to start our orc clan's own farming road!"

But this sentence did not cause the joy of the subordinates, but immediately made the subordinates who had just taken this land from the hands of the leopards feel terrified,

"Farming? Patriarch! Do you want to learn how to farm like the leopards? ”

Everyone has heard about the tragic path of agricultural reform of the Leopard Leopards, and they have obvious lingering feelings about the word farming.

"Bastard!" Zhang Quan's ambition was interrupted by his subordinates, he was very unhappy, turned his head and scolded his subordinates,

"How could I be as stupid as that fellow of Otilus! You say, under my guidance, will you be as stupid as the leopards, and you can't even learn how to farm? ”

"This ......" the crowd did not dare to talk back, and of course no one would think he was stupid, even if he was an orc. But if you want to say that everyone can pat their chests and be confident that farming will be as good as human beings, no one dares to say that. After all, there are examples of miserable leopard people in front of them, and everyone is afraid of their tribes, and they will also farm and grow for a few years to have a stomach, and it will really not end well.

"Why, I'm scared!" Zhang Quan smiled at his subordinates,

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I feel that farming is not suitable for our orc tradition after all." The orc replied humbishly, scratching the back of his head.

"Haha!" Zhang Quan pointed to his subordinates and laughed, "You guys, you guys, you are really a little rich and safe, think about it, since I came to the wasteland, I have taken you all the way, and I have done every major event, which one is safe and safe, which one is not breaking the tradition, mining, building cities, training troops, one big thing, which time is not our success!" ”

When everyone thinks so, it really is. Following Zhang Quan's work, he really didn't do it according to the orc tradition, but almost everything was a big success, and he unconsciously changed the appearance of the orcs.

"Farming is not as difficult as you think, and the reason why you find it difficult is because no one can teach you well. Think about it, in the same way, why do humans plant it, why elves plant it, why can't orcs plant it, is it really because orcs are born stupid?

If orcs are naturally stupid, then why are Fox foxes more cunning than humans, and minotaur craftsmen in the wasteland building weapons better than humans? ”

"Think about it, how many years did it take for humans to learn from the elves in order to learn agriculture, and how many years did it take them to develop their own agriculture on their own land? The wasteland is cold and barren, and it is difficult for almost any plant except wild grass to grow here, but that doesn't mean that we orcs can't learn to farm when we have fertile land! ”

"We orcs are not stupid, it's just that humans and elves have been slandering us, we have to prove to them that the reason why we didn't have agriculture in the wasteland before was because of the geographical conditions, with the right geographical conditions, we can still farm, and we can grow the best food in the world!"

Believe me, as long as you listen to me, I will definitely let you eat the food we grow next year! ”

The orcs were suspicious one by one, and looked at each other with eyes, but finally no one spoke out against it.

……

After giving a speech and convincing his subordinates, Zhang Quan really led his subordinates to start farming around Walter wholeheartedly.

Farming is also a scientific thing, and success on the road of any science cannot be smooth sailing.

In the first season, Zhang Quan decided to plant on a small scale, although he is not a scientist, but experimental thinking in a strange environment is still a little bit on, he chose a piece of land about 50,000 acres on the plain on the bank of the Walter River, at this time this river flowing through Walter, was also ordered by Zhang Quan as the River of Hope, although the conditions here are very suitable for growing rice, but because rice planting is too cumbersome, the requirements for farmers are very high, so Zhang Quan finally gave up.

He chose to get some of almost every one of the most modern grain varieties on the planet, wheat, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and each of them was divided into several different seeds, which were the most durable varieties that had been proven in the earth world, and were all grown naturally, rather than the high-yielding seeds that the farms of the modern world were abundant. Speaking of which, it took him and his subordinates a lot of effort to get these seeds from the modern world.

Speaking of which, Zhang Quan also checked the wheat seeds bought from humans to see if humans were fooling people with unusable wheat seeds, and it turned out that it was really wheat. However, it is not the same thing as wheat in the modern world, but some kind of distant relative similar to wheat, more similar to the barley of ancient times, and the yield is conceivably not very high.

Then, there were manpower farm tools, pickaxes, hoes, and so on, and a large number of them were also prepared. In order to popularize agriculture in the local area, Zhang Quan took into account the conditions of the orcs, and it was impossible to directly engage in mechanized planting, although it was not impossible for him to do it himself, but in the end he chose the most primitive human planting.

First of all, hoeing, which is very convenient in the modern world, directly spraying herbicides on a large scale, but for fear that such killer things as herbicides will cause pollution back and forth in this world, Zhang Quan still chose to carry forward the spirit of fearless foolish people to move mountains, with the orcs to manually weed, the reason for manual weeding is not because it can't be driven by a modern tractor, the key is because of these most basic work, he needs to teach these orcs hand in hand.

hoeing, deep ploughing, Zhang Quan worked for a while, rested for a while, and then instructed his orcs to follow what to do, although he himself had just carried these things in the computer video, this girl had never done farming at all. But it didn't prevent him from reading from the book with what was in the book.

In short, all he did was to copy a large number of agricultural textbooks and teaching videos from the other world, and toss this experimental field of his home. Anyway, he doesn't want to be able to grow any high yields in the first year, as long as he can grow them, and the empirical technology of agriculture itself requires a lot of practice to get a successful experience.

The ancestors of the earth have passed down the successful experience for many years, and if they get this different world, similar geographical environment, similar technology, and the seeds of the same plants, he does not believe that he can't grow them. Isn't he, an earthling, and his delicate body quickly adapted to the natural environment of this strange world, and there is no reason why plants are less adaptable to the natural environment than him, a mammal.

Science itself can only be obtained from a large number of practical activities? In his opinion, isn't the spirit of science just the spirit of a bunch of paranoid people who are desperate to drill the horns of the bull? And, in order to prevent accidents, he also uses the local indigenous wheat seeds.

PS: The results are not good this week, continue to run naked, but as long as there is the support of book friends, there are recommended votes for me to see that everyone is still reading, I will continue to work hard, this book is also a slow-burning book, no way.
