Chapter Fifty-Six: A Few Big Things and a Little One

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the harvest of the green fields is nearing the end.

The farmers, who had been busy in the fields before, could finally take a breath, wipe the sweat off their faces, and take a bath in the river, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

It was an undoubted harvest, with grain piled up in the barn and extra carrots temporarily stored in the cellar by Ilea.

And among them, the biggest harvest is Li Yu and those lizard people under him.

You must know that just a year ago, those lizardmen were still barbarians who drank blood in the swamp, and the nightmares of the surrounding villages could not even use hoes.

It wasn't until they were inspired by Saturday (the lizardmen insisted on saying so anyway) that they bravely walked out of the swamp and left the home they had lived on.

Met the Prophet Merlin, who eventually realized that Sosokus and Saturday were one, completely converted to the Church of Shuangshu, and found a new home in the land.

In just one year, they completely changed their appearance and became the first pioneers in Green Field to start using new farming tools and composting.

Li Yu carried out a transformation similar to the people's commune for them, which was characterized by one big and two dukes.

Although in Li Yu's position, this kind of socialist grassroots unit eventually became an obstacle to the development of the productive forces because of the various shortcomings it exposed, and finally went to extinction.

But that doesn't mean negate its merits.

At least in the initial stage, this kind of organizational unit has a natural advantage in infrastructure construction and farmland reclamation, and it is also a manifestation of concentrating on doing great things.

Moreover, the lizard people themselves are similar to the ethnic structure of primitive societies, where all people gather together to form a large group, using collective strength to resist the risks brought by the harsh environment, and at the same time sharing the means of production.

This organizational structure is the prototype of the natural people's commune, and if they are forcibly separated and vigorously promote private ownership, they will not be adapted.

So Li Yu also went with the flow, anyway, after a long time, productivity increased, and their next generation and next generation would slowly break away from the ethnic group.

This is the general law of social development, and we must accept it whether we want it or not.

Of course, this is a long time later, and those lizardmen who came out of the swamp are still strong and strong, controlling the discourse of the clan, and will not make a fuss about breaking up for the time being.

And they did not live up to Li Yu's expectations this time, as a pilot of agricultural reform, those farmlands on the land of the Shuangxiu Sect have ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest!

The yield of the same plot of land is fully doubled, and the planting-to-harvest ratio is increased to 1:8, which is the magic of deep ploughing and manure!

Not to mention the increased efficiency of sowing and harvesting, the more land a person can cultivate, the more food can be harvested, and more people will be freed up to do other work.

Li Yu was also relieved when he got the preliminary statistical results, don't look at the calm and calm he has always behaved on weekdays.

But after all, he was not a graduate of agriculture, and there was no one to help him in the early stage, and all the methods he could master to improve food production were found from the Internet and books.

However, theory alone is not enough, and the real challenge is to put theory into practice.

Among them, Li Yu also took a lot of detours, did not become complacent because of the civilization from a higher level of technology, blindly confident, and went to consult many local farmers.

I studied the details with them, and then came back to the book to verify it repeatedly, and finally got the results I have today.

This bumper harvest is very important to Li Yu, and getting enough food is secondary, after all, the Shuangxiu Sect has money now, and the harvest in the west this year is generally not bad, so it's a big deal to go out and buy it.

The real significance lies in the fact that it proves that the new farming tools and new farming methods that the Shuangxiu Sect has been vigorously promoting are effective, and completely dispels the doubts in the hearts of other believers.

At this point, Li Yu's agricultural reform can be regarded as a real success.

However, he was not carried away by the victory like the others, and then went to inspect the progress of the selection and breeding.

When he first came to Greenfield, he had commissioned Fausto to find four children for him and teach them Arabic numerals, simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and statistics.

Except for Hera, who is now assisting Li Yu in managing the Shuangxiu Sect, the remaining three children, Li Yu assigned them tasks according to the original plan, and asked them to go to the field and select the best seeds in the field.

Collect those seeds, plant them in the ground, and then select the best offspring from among them and breed them......

It's the kind of work that is hard to see for a while, but it's not about upgrading tools and composting.

Because almost all of the foods you can name on Earth today come from a chance mutation, their seeds are found and cultivated, and then mutated again, and then mutated again...... And so on, it has become what it is now.

Until they get bigger, tastier, more suitable for survival, and more resistant to disasters...... The latter, in particular, can even save a civilization at a critical time.

This is also the reason why Li Yu has been working on this matter as soon as he came here.

Because he can't directly carry the finished seed for plane travel, he has to start from scratch, and in that case, of course, it should be sooner rather than later.

When he has almost exhausted all the external means that can increase yields, it will depend on the evolution of the crops themselves to increase yields.

Now the selection and breeding team of Shuangxiu Sect has increased to eleven people, although there are no scientific research results that can be immediately put into application, but Li Yu still rewarded each of them with five points of divine kingdom.

And in this series of big things, there is one small thing that is not so inconspicuous.

Niu Xiangui, a full-stack engineer named after Christopher Columbus, completed his three-month training and passed the final Lingua Cola franca language exam.

got the certificate, although he only has T4, and he has to continue to take the test if he wants to leave Greenfield, but it also means that he can start a new chapter in his life.

Of course, this also means that Niu Xiangui will have to worry about food and shelter in the future.

Fortunately, Niu Xiangui is no stranger to this kind of thing.

He walked out of the traverser's apartment with his certificate in hand, looked at the sun outside, and felt like he was back in time when he had just graduated from college.

At that time, he was still very young, a little handsome, but not much, and he was still a little nervous about leaving the campus, but now he has been crawling around in society, and the whole person is calm and relaxed by the precipitation of the years.

And most importantly, he, Niu Xiangui, is now a half-orc!!

Lu Weijia is not less jealous of him because of this matter, he is almost Xianglin's sister-in-law, he nagged wherever he had nothing to do every day, why didn't I get a macho man, how sad and sad I looked.
