Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

After having a clear goal, Ning Yuan devoted himself to the construction of the territory.

Every day, he rode a white horse between the five cities and personally checked the progress of each city's construction.

Building the city was originally a big project, but after the powerful orcs joined in, the speed of the Condor Eagle's city building immediately increased.

Although those tall orcs were clumsy, Ning Yuan didn't need them to do any fine work, he only needed them to work hard to carry the heaviest stones.

Of course, as a reward for their efforts, sufficient and nutritious food must be indispensable.

Looking at the orcs who eat more and more, Ning Yuan now finally knows why they can't form a large-scale tribe, because they really can't feed so many big eaters.

Fortunately, the Condor Leader is backed by Lake Victoria, and now there is the Swan Clan, an expert fisherman. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will not be long before the food reserves of the Condor Tribe will be eaten up by these big eaters.

October is the harvest season. Since the weather has been smooth this year, Shenying led a bumper harvest.

Although the fields cultivated by the Shenying leader ushered in a bumper harvest, Ning Yuan gave a very strange order, that is, except for radishes and carrots, other plants with fleshy roots, other harvested grains are not allowed to be eaten.

Because although this year is a bumper harvest year, due to the limited variety of seeds in the Condor Eagle Territory, the various grains harvested are simply not enough for the more than 200,000 people in the territory to eat. In order to have an even bigger harvest in the coming year, Ning Yuan had no choice but to make such a bad move.

Plants of the genus Radish like carrots, white radishes, and red radishes, their flowering period is April and May, and their fruiting period is May and June. People usually eat their lumpy rhizomes, so as long as the seeds are prepared in May and June After the cultivation work, the fleshy roots harvested in October can be eaten casually.

And food crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes will not work.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes need their tuberous rhizomes for propagation, so if you want to grow a large field in the coming year, you must keep as many of their tuberous tubers as possible.

Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can also be cultivated by cuttings, because cuttings have high requirements on the environment, the citizens of the Condor Eagle Territory are still in the groping stage, so if they want to plant them on a large scale, they must Use lumpy rhizomes to grow seedlings.

Not to mention rice, wheat, corn, sorghum and other plants. Their seeds are both food and offspring. If you want to plant these food crops on a large scale, you must preserve their offspring.

As for green vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, wax gourds, and gourds, because their seeds grow in the fruit.

And if you want their seeds to grow to maturity, you must watch their fruits grow old and rot with your own eyes. Therefore, in order to obtain a large number of seeds, the people of the Condor Land can only watch helplessly. They grow older until they rot.

Originally, Ning Yuan had only a half-knowledge of this knowledge. He only knew that seeds could germinate and grow, and he was not so clear about the rest.

However, when he saw other player lords exchanging planting experience on the forum, he suddenly realized that he had to learn this knowledge himself, otherwise it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to learn and comprehend it by the people in the territory. .

To this end, he read a lot of books and materials.

However, some planting knowledge is too profound, and the requirements for the environment are relatively high, which is impossible to achieve in this ignorant and backward age.

And it is impossible for Ning Yuan to hide in the territory every day to study how to grow crops, so he finally picked a few more practical ones to learn.

Rice, sorghum, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and soybeans are the most important food crops in human society. They are not only high-yielding, but also easy to grow. Therefore, Ningyuan mainly studies the planting and care of these plants.

Originally, only one food crop, sweet potato, was found in Ningyuan's territory.

But there are no other food crops in his territory, but it does not mean that other people's territories do not have any, so at this time, the benefits brought by the war of aggression can be reflected. Although he does not have it, he can snatch it from some people.

Although Ning Yuan took the initiative to go out and invade a limited number of times, the people who couldn't stand being robbed by him were all very rich.

Although I don't know if they also snatched these seeds from other people, but since the things have already been obtained, Ning Yuan will not trace the origin of these things.

After collecting these important food seeds, all Ningyuan needs to do is to plant them successfully, and then start snowballing, piling up more and more.

In this era, the land is very fertile, and seeds will basically take root and germinate as long as they are sown in the soil, so what Ningyuan really needs to study is only the knowledge of potato and sweet potato seedlings.

Although Ning Yuan has never planted the land himself, he has seen potatoes and garlic sprout at home, so it is not difficult for him to master this knowledge.

Of course, the so-called bumper harvest also depends on who it is compared with. Compared with those wild areas, Ningyuan's place is indeed a bumper harvest, but compared with other players' territories, his place is much inferior.

Although Ning Yuan can learn how to plant crops, he has never planted crops himself before, so compared with those experienced farmers and agricultural experts, the little knowledge he has learned is not enough.

Some big guilds and rich local tyrants directly spent a lot of money to invite agricultural experts and experienced farmers for the development of their territories. Under the guidance of these professionals, the yield per mu of farmland in their territories can be as high as It is much higher than here in Ningyuan.

Take wheat as an example. The highest yield per mu here in Ningyuan is more than 500 catties, while on the planes with professional guidance, the yield per mu is all between 800 catties and 1,000 catties, which is several hundred catties less per mu. The difference was immediately apparent.

Ning Yuan had always thought that those so-called experts would be useless after they came to this primitive place. After all, the conditions here are too backward, and some modern things cannot be used here at all.

It wasn't until he saw everyone posting his harvest this year on the forum that he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

Although more than half of the martial arts of professionals have been abolished without some modern instruments and equipment, there are some things that have been summed up by human beings over generations. These things will never be outdated and can be applied to all situation.

Let’s take farming as an example. Although without equipment, professionals cannot scientifically process seeds, and cannot cultivate seeds with high yield and good resistance.

But they know what kind of seeds are most suitable for planting, how to plant them, and how to take care of them to make the crops grow better.

But Ning Yuan's eyes were blackened by this. He didn't know what kind of seeds were the best, the planting distance and the number of seeds. He also copied the data from some materials, and he couldn't adapt measures to local conditions at all.
