Two months have passed since Ye Qing installed the copper coin stamping production line.

The tribe's work to reclaim new fields has been completed.

Standing on a high place and looking around the tribe, what catches your eye is the vast and neat world that cannot be seen at first sight.

But there are no crops grown yet, all of them are black and yellow and bare.

In terms of eye-catching, it is naturally not as good as the scene of prosperous plants and trees in the past, but from another perspective, the current scene is a symbol of natural conquest by human power.

With this large area of ​​land, humans can no longer fully look at God's expression and have some of their own ability to control their own destiny.

Ye Qing was very satisfied.

After these fields have harvested this year, the tribe has sufficient food, and the hidden dangers of gathering 10,000 people can be eliminated.

Next, the important thing is to ensure a bumper harvest this year.

This is more important than building a stronghold outward.

He doesn't need to worry too much about the planting of rice, as the tribe will do it.

At this time, the seedling cultivation work has begun.

Just follow the process of last year and follow the steps.

What needs Ye Qing to guide the planting of new crops.

Mizu is the first crop Ye Qing pays attention to.

This is the main food crop.

The Longjia Army brought back not much millet last time, and after selecting seeds, it was only enough to plant 100 acres of land.

But it doesn’t matter. With mature rice seeds, Ye Qing cannot change her planting habits and let her tribe members change Zhong Su.

Even if there are enough millet seeds in a few years, the staple food will still be rice.

Although the requirements for millet cultivation are very low, the yield is still too low compared to rice.

The cultivation of rice has become very mature after improvements in its own tools and technology.

There is no need to lose the foundation and go to the end.

Moreover, the Leize area is not very suitable for millet cultivation.

There is too much rain here.

Ye Qing led his tribe to divide the cultivated dry land into ridges and then sow seeds.

The subsequent work is simple.

Weeding, bird removal, etc. are no different from planting rice.

If you are too busy, it's okay not to do it.

It's just a little less harvest.

Next is the planting of forage.

Now there are more and more cattle in the tribe. Ye Qing doesn’t want his tribe to spend his time on herding cattle with great benefits, so he decided to plant forage to raise cattle.

There are many varieties of forage, but Ye Qing is looking for it in the wild, but she has not found those popular forage varieties in modern times.

After picking and picking, he finally had no choice but to choose two types of grass, dogtail grass and cornseed.

He didn't find any sweet grass, bamboo grass, alfalfa, etc.

Aren’t these forage grasses native products?

Breeding dog tail grass?

Is this different from growing millet?

Well, forage and food crops are still different.

Cultivate slowly.

The ancestors could cultivate seed-rich millet from dogtail grass, and they could also cultivate grass varieties with many stems and leaves.

Although I don't know how many years later.

But everything must have a beginning.

To cultivate pasture, start with yourself.

Although corns are not as tall as dogtail grass, they have one advantage, which is that they have strong regeneration ability and can be harvested repeatedly.

Moreover, although it is an annual variety, it has strong natural ability to survive and reproduce by itself, without artificial cultivation.

As long as you plant a piece of corns in the field, you will get a harvest every year and there is no need for manpower to serve you.

There is no need to cultivate the ground, just clean up the grass and trees on the ground.

This is very suitable for the current situation of insufficient manpower in the tribe.

After selecting these two types of forage grasses, Ye Qing focused on planting cash crops.

Soybeans and hemp, the tribe members have learned to plant them, and this year they can just continue to expand the planting area.

Ye Qing is concerned about the planting of tung trees, mulberry trees, and some fruit trees.

There are also these trees, and there are also saplings in the wild.

But it cannot meet the needs of large-scale cultivation of tribes.

Therefore, artificial seedling cultivation is needed.

Although the tribe has a mulberry forest, these mulberry trees are tall and picking mulberry leaves is very troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and very dangerous.

When raising silkworms in small batches, you can barely accept it.

But raising silkworms in large quantities requires too much manpower.

Ye Qing was very dissatisfied with such inefficient work.

He wants to open up mulberry fields.

With the mulberry fields, mulberry trees have been manually repaired and are not as high as two people. When the tribe members stand on the ground, they can easily pick mulberry leaves. I don’t know how much more efficient it is.

Planting mulberry trees is naturally to raise silkworms.

Silk is still very useful, and Ye Qing is preparing to develop the sericulture industry on a large scale.

For tung trees, although there are many naturally growing around the tribe and on the mountains, they are too scattered.

Moreover, it is not convenient to pick up tung seeds.

In the deep mountains and forests, people will often encounter unknown dangers.

Although it can also be obtained from other tribes through transactions, this amount is not very certain.

The amount of tung oil you need is massive, the more the better.

In this era of lack of various industrial raw materials, tung oil has a great effect.

Not only shipbuilding, but all kinds of wooden utensils are needed.

The most important thing is lighting.

When lighting with torches, the smoke is too high and it is easy to cause fires.

In the past, the tribe members worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and there was little demand for lighting.

But in the future, Ye Qing is preparing to promote education, so the time this evening naturally needs to be used.

This lighting is naturally essential.

Soybean oil can also be illuminated by lighting, but soybean oil is considered a food, which makes Ye Qing reluctant to let go.

The food is still very valuable.

In this era, it seems that the only thing suitable for lighting is tung oil.

For the time being, he did not find any oil, and his tribe members were not able to go out to sea to catch whales. Otherwise, lighting the lamp with whale oil would be a very good choice.

He had wanted to build a sea boat for a long time, but the conditions were not yet ripe, so he could only do nothing.

Ye Qing also attaches great importance to other fruit trees.

Although the fruits grown by fruit trees are not as good as those of rice and other crops, their yields are that they are simple in management and do not require much labor.

After the fruit tree survives, it can basically be considered a one-time and for all.

Nowadays, there is more land and not planting large quantities of fruit trees, it means you can’t get along with yourself.

His plan not only planted fruit trees in the tribe, some barren mountains, useless mudflats, and some corners in the wild, but also prepared to plant fruit trees.

For the varieties of fruit trees, he chose the most common modern varieties such as peach, plum, apricot, chestnut, pear, sour jujube, persimmon, and orange.

It is natural that these varieties have become the most common fruit species in modern times.

There are many fruits that are better than these fruits, but they have not become mainstream fruits, so they naturally have their limitations.

Either it is spoiled and planting is very troublesome.

Or the output is too low.

In the era of pursuing yields to fill the stomach, they were naturally eliminated.
