Primitives are stunned

Chapter 255 Sweet Potatoes
(This chapter is to add more rewards for Fantasy Bleach 11, and it is finally completed after coding for a night)

The various benefits of Wang Village are naturally enticing.After the news spread, several villages immediately expressed their desire to join Wangcun.

After clearly explaining the stakes to Gu Mu, and explaining which things must be mastered by oneself and which technologies can be handed over to others, Wang Hao handed over these matters to Gu Mu.

And he personally went to supervise the reclamation of the fields and the construction of the wharf.

Because Wang Hu participated in the construction of the pier in Xie Village, Wang Hao left this matter to him.

The construction of the wharf is a very simple thing. After one experience, Wang Hu completed it with ease.

The only problem is that the pillars in the deep water of the big river are not easy to stand.However, all of this is not a problem in front of the giant.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, people always like to take a dip in Dahe during their lunch break every day.

Because Wang Hu can't swim, he almost implicated Wang Hao when he met Red Shrimp last time, so when he came back this time, he learned from the painful experience and decided to learn swimming no matter what.

Coincidentally, Wang Zhu, who had finished building the bungalow and was busy building the school during this period, liked to come to the big river to wash after every work.

Wang Hu was surprised to find that Wang Zhu, who was a landlubber like him, had already learned how to swim.

Seeing this, Wang Hu excitedly ran to ask Wang Zhu what his secret to swimming was.

Who would want to teach a man to swim in the hot weather? Wang Zhu couldn't shirk it again and again, and finally thought of a bad move.

He told Wang Hu that if he wanted to learn how to swim, he should go into the water with the cow.

Hold the ox's tail with your hand and let the ox lead him to swim. In this way, he will be able to learn to swim in a short time.

Wang Hu believed it naively, and drove a strong cow out of the cowshed, and went into the water with a splash.

Now, bison have long been used to living with people.It is definitely a good choice to go swimming in the water on a hot day.

As for Wang Hu who was holding its tail, he naturally didn't care too much.

Wang Hu was holding the ox's tail, and he felt pretty good at first, as he floated up as if he had learned how to swim.

But when the buffalo reached the deep water, it suddenly raised its tail, and a stream of blue-brown cow dung spewed out.

Wang Hu grabbed the ox's tail with a dazed expression on his face.

No one told him this was going to happen!

Wang Hu really wanted to let go of the oxtail and flee back to the shore.

But his feet can't reach the bottom at all now.

At this moment, Wang Hu finally understood what it meant to be unable to let go of the pain.

Wang Hu originally thought that as long as he survived for a while, he would be fine.

Unexpectedly, the buffalo's butt is like an open valve, and a lot of cow dung is sprayed out of it one after another.

Wang Hu finally couldn't bear it any longer, let go of the oxtail desperately, and then swam towards the shore.

This tossing, although he drank a lot of cow dung in the end, actually made him learn to swim.

Although the process of Wang Hu learning how to swim was so sad that it made people cry, but the construction of the pier was not delayed at all.

With only a few dozen people, he built the prototype of the dock in five days.

In fact, if Wang Hu had more manpower, the progress of the dock could be faster.

It's just that Wang Hao has given him as much as possible of these manpower.

Because there is one more important thing that the village is busy with now than building the pier.That is the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

In the end, Wang Hao decided to plant all the sweet potatoes inside the wooden walls of Hwaseong.

At the beginning, when Wang Hao built the wooden wall of Huacheng, he built it according to the area of ​​Huacheng that was finally completed.

It is conservatively estimated that there is no problem with 2 people living in the city for a long time.

But now, the entire Hwaseong, even with the savages, is only inhabited by a little over 1000 people, so there is still a lot of vacant space.

It is precisely because of this that extra open space can be freed up for Wang Hao to cultivate in the city.

After all, sweet potato is a plant that can be eaten raw, whether it is its rhizome or vine leaves, it is the favorite of some herbivores.

If it is planted outside the city, just looking after it will require a lot of manpower.

But now, planting it inside the wooden wall and making effective use of the extra open space can at least save manpower to take care of it.

Animal manure is a natural fertilizer.

The feces produced by giant clawed dragons, cattle, chickens, ducks and fish every day are very large.

These feces, Wang Hao specially sent someone to collect them.

Whether it is used as fertilizer after retting, or used to extract nitrate for making gunpowder in the future, it is all feasible.

Naturally, the amount of feces collected over such a long period of time is staggering.

The people of the tribe once guessed the purpose of Wang Hao's collection of these feces, but no one guessed it.

Until today, they are used as fertilizer.

Although they didn't understand the meaning of fertilizer, it didn't affect their execution of Wang Hao's order.

The uninhabited places in Wangcun, because of the lack of people to take care of them, soon grew weeds nearly one person tall.

On the first day, Wang Hao led people to cut off all the weeds with a sickle, and then piled them up on the spot.

On the second day, the weeds had been mowed, and the moisture inside was quickly lost under the scorching sun.

Wang Hao, on the other hand, led people to grind the dried and scabbed feces into powder.

On the third day, a big fire burned the weeds that Wang Hao and the others had cut.

It not only increases the fertility of the land, but also kills the eggs and seeds buried in the ground.

Only by relying on the situation of fire can a piece of land not sprout new shoots in a short period of time.

On the fourth day, the farm tool warehouse that Wang Hao had stored for a long time was opened.

A large number of farm tools such as shovels and hoes were taken out.

Some of them were saved by Wang Hao using the system day by day for such a long time, and some were cast by the copper furnace.

Under Wang Hao's leadership, Wangcun's largest land reclamation activity officially started.

At the same time, an unexpected surprise happened to Wang Hao.

That is, the sweet potato seeds that had only been cultivated for three days actually germinated.

On Earth, under normal circumstances, sweet potatoes need to be cultivated two months in advance.

But in the wilderness, Wang Hao discovered that the growth rhythm of various plants is much faster than that on the earth.

Otherwise, Wang Hao wouldn't be bothered by the road being destroyed by plants.

Wang Hao originally thought that even if the cultivation cycle of sweet potato sprouts was shortened, it would take at least half a month to germinate, but he didn't expect it to be so fast this time.

At the same time, this incident also reminded Wang Hao again that the Great Wilderness is not the earth, and one should never look at things in the Great Wilderness with the principles of the earth.If you don't know how to change, you may suffer a loss someday in the future.

Because of the early germination of sweet potatoes, the speed of land reclamation had to be accelerated.

In addition to the sweet potato seeds allocated to the three affiliated villages, Wang Village needs to reclaim at least [-] acres of land.

After a preliminary reclamation, the land was covered with a thick layer of fertilizer.

Because sweet potatoes like to be dry, they adapt to river sand.

Therefore, a large amount of river sand was taken from the river, crushed and covered with fertilizer. The height of the sand was ten centimeters higher than the drainage ditch, forming the appearance of a field ridge.

After finishing all this work, the sprouts that emerged from the sweet potatoes had grown to a length of twenty or thirty centimeters.

I found some ingenious clansmen, carefully took out clusters of young shoots, and planted them in the ridges of the field at an appropriate distance.

Several sweet potato fields stretching hundreds of meters have been reclaimed in the village.

Wang Hao looked at these slightly flimsy buds swaying in the wind, and his heart was filled with relief.

He believed that when it was time to harvest, the output of these sweet potato fields would definitely shock the clansmen.

It will also give the loudest slap to those outsiders who laughed.
