Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 203 The food crisis is solved, Fuxi comes to meet him

Hearing this, Lieshan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.

Then he hurried back to the tribe, found an open space, and buried Jiusuigu in the soil.

He took good care of it every day and irrigated it with water according to the instructions of Taoist Duobao.

It didn't take long before a field of rice grew on the land.

Seeing this, Lieshan followed Taoist Duobao's method, rubbed the ears of grain and put them in his mouth to taste.

As Taoist Duobao said, not only does it taste good, but the output is also huge.

Seeing this, Lieshan was overjoyed.

Therefore, Lieshan hurriedly taught this method to his tribe.

At first, many tribesmen didn't quite believe it.

But after trying to grow them, they found that this method did bring in a lot of food.

Then I became even more convinced of Lieshan.

Under Lieshan's guidance, more and more people participated in reclaiming land and planting millet.

They wielded axes, hoes, and raked the grass, felling trees and cutting away weeds.

Turn barren land into fertile farmland.

Rice has alleviated to a certain extent the food problems faced by the human race today.

But Lieshan knew that this was not a long-term solution.

Although rice is more filling and yields more than fruits.

But to truly solve the food problem faced by humans, more efforts are needed.

After careful consideration, Lieshan got inspiration from Guzi:

"If we can find more edible plants and trees and plant them widely."

"So can the food problem faced by the human race today be fundamentally solved?"

However, at that time, grains and weeds grew together, and herbs and flowers were intertwined.

How can ordinary people tell which of these are edible and which are poisonous?

To solve this problem, Lieshan decided to try various plants himself.

Selecting plants that humans can eat, but this process is full of dangers.

Lieshan accidentally ate poisonous plants many times and fell into a life-or-death crisis.

Fortunately, he has a special ability.

Able to sense the presence of toxic substances, respond promptly, and get out of danger.

Despite this, Lieshan has been in crisis many times.

Thanks to Taoist Duobao's timely rescue, Lieshan was able to escape danger.

After Taoist Duobao learned that Lieshan had such an ability.

Not only was he excited, but Taoist Duobao also knew that Lieshan had a great responsibility.

And Lieshan after countless attempts.

Finally, rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot were selected as edible plants.

In this regard, Lieshan was not stingy and taught the farming techniques he acquired to other tribes.

And taught his achievements to the surrounding tribes of humans.

This has helped many human races solve their food crisis.

Lieshan's reputation is getting louder and louder among the human race.

Moreover, because Lieshan is good at magical farming skills, he is respected as "Shennong" by the human race.

Under the promotion of Shen Nong, the human race began to plant grains, and their living standards gradually improved.

Sufficient food has greatly improved the social conditions of the tribe.

No longer suffer from hunger as often as before.

However, growing plants is not without its challenges.

Weather is an uncontrollable factor that always affects the growth of grains, especially irrigation issues.

Sometimes in bad weather, the grains in the land cannot be adequately irrigated, and the harvest will be greatly affected.

In order to solve this problem, Shennong thought hard, but he was still at a loss.

In desperation, he decided to ask Taoist Duobao for advice again.

He told Taoist Duobao about his troubles with expectant eyes, and then waited quietly for his answer.

Taoist Duobao pondered for a moment and did not give a direct answer, but looked at the mountain wall. In front of Taoist Duobao, a mountain spring gushes out.

Then he smiled and said, "Disciple, do you feel anything when you look at this scene?"

Shennong's eyes lit up immediately and he said immediately:

"Water sources don't only exist in rivers and seas, since they can gush out from mountain walls."

"Then there must be water sources underground."

After hearing Shennong say these words, Taoist Duobao nodded, closed his eyes and went to practice.

……

After returning to the tribe, Shennong found several young men from the tribe and started digging in an open space.

When they dug five feet deep, suddenly a large amount of clear water gushes out of the ground.

Seeing this scene, Shennong and the surrounding tribesmen were very happy.

Subsequently, he immediately promoted this method to the tribe.

Teach the tribesmen how to dig wells to draw water and build ditches to irrigate crops.

As time went by, the Jiang tribe gradually became stronger.

Just like the original Fuxi tribe, it attracted the attachment of many surrounding tribes.

And this also caused the Jiang clan's tribe to continue to expand in size.

Shennong's reputation was at its peak among the surrounding tribes.

For a time, even Fuxi, who was far away in Chendu, heard about Shennong's outstanding performance.

At this moment, Fuxi was filled with a strong interest in him.

“This person actually solved a food problem that I was struggling with.”

"It seems that Shen Nong is really the next Emperor of the People."

At this moment, Fuxi had made up his mind to find Shennong.

Fuxi is about to complete his merits, and the day of leaving the human race is not far away.

After becoming the co-leader of the human race, he also created the Fuxi Bagua.

Fuxi then understood that his merits had been fulfilled.

He knew that his time in the human race was running out.

Therefore, Fuxi began to look for someone who could inherit his position and continue to lead the continuous development of the human race.

When Fuxi noticed Shennong's proposal to transplant fruit trees and solve the human race's food problem.

He began to pay close attention to the young man.

In addition to Shennong, there are also major talents from other tribes who are also within the scope of his investigation.

However, only Shennong made a significant contribution to the human race and helped the human race survive the food crisis.

Although other people's contributions to government affairs attracted Fuxi's attention.

But the impact on the development of the entire human race is not great.

As Shennong's reputation among the human race increased, Fuxi listed him as his first choice as his successor.

In order to determine whether Shennong is really suitable to become the new co-leader of the human race.

Fuxi decided to meet him in person.

When Fuxi set out from Chendu to the Jiang tribe where Shennong was located.

The people of Jiang's tribe learned the news.

They felt very excited and proud because Fuxi was the co-leader of the human race.

His visit was a great recognition of their Jiang tribe.

Hearing that Fuxi, the co-leader of the human race, was visiting, Shennong quickly led his tribe to greet him.

Fuxi looked at Shennong's burly body and tanned skin.

It is immediately obvious that this person has been working hard in the fields for a long time.

So Fuxi began to ask Shen Nong about planting crops.

Shen Nong responded calmly and answered fluently.

Then, Fuxi asked some questions about how to manage the many tribes in the ancient times.

Shennong was also able to quote from many sources and put forward many novel and practical insights.
