Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 68 The Great Harvest

The success or failure of land reclamation agriculture largely determines the future development direction of the Dragon Grass Tribe.

The primitive hunting and gathering production and lifestyle in the Kava Forest today can hardly support the life of a large number of large tribes. In this Kava Forest, there can be large tribes with more than [-] orcs. Basically, they are all located at the border between Kava Forest and humans.

That is because the orcs' backward production methods cannot feed a population of more than [-] at all, and the large orc tribes on the border can exist because the orcs invade on a large scale every year in the cold winter, entering the human country to plunder enough food, In order to maintain the orc tribe.

If the attempt to open up wasteland and agriculture fails, even if Austin still has a lot of means, without enough food support, it will be even more troublesome to increase the population of the orc family under his command.

Even during the process of opening up wasteland and planting, the kudzu vines have been growing very smoothly, and the degree of luxuriance of kudzu vines under careful care is not comparable to that of wild kudzu vines in the wild, but no one knows until the results are revealed.

As Pooh went down with a shovel, all the orcs watching around raised their hearts.

The hands holding the wooden shovel were a little trembling, but they still kicked hard, causing the wooden shovel to penetrate deeply into the soil, and then turned the wooden handle of the wooden shovel downward.

Click!

There was a crisp muffled sound from the ground, and Pooh felt a resistance at the same time, as if there was a huge wooden root under the soil, but this resistance was nothing under the strength of the orcs, and soon a large piece of soil was was turned upside down.

At the same time, there was another kudzu root with a broken end, one decimeter long, and the size of an arm!

It worked!
All the orcs present widened their eyes, looking at the huge kudzu root picked up by Pooh, with various expressions of excitement and amazement on their faces.

The few orcs next to me couldn't help it either. They took the tools and started digging in a ridge. As the soil was opened up, kudzu roots were dug out one by one, and the atmosphere of the orcs around them became more and more enthusiastic, and they finally became excited. .

"As expected of Your Highness Austin, it really works!"

"It's really possible. I have to work hard to open up wasteland in the future, and there will be no shortage of food in the future!"

The problem of food is the pain in the heart of every orc who is struggling to survive in the Great Kava Forest. Among the orcs present, is there one who has not tried for a few days without harvesting and starving?

Although the heads of the orcs are simple, it doesn't mean that they don't understand the meaning of the large kudzu root in front of them.

In the past, it was necessary to travel through mountains and rivers to search for kudzu roots that could only be dug today, but now they can be gathered on a piece of land for planting and production. As long as kudzu vines are planted here every time in the future, wouldn’t it be possible to obtain a fixed source of food?

What's more, only a small section of ridge was excavated, and there was a large pile of dug up Pueraria in front of me. Both in size and yield, it was far larger than wild Pueraria. , if all of them were dug out, how big would be the harvest!

Seeing this scene, the orcs onlookers couldn't bear it one after another, and began to pick up tools and join in the work of digging kudzu root, and started to work in full swing.

As the orcs dug, more and more kudzu roots piled up on the open space, almost piled up like a hill, and when all the [-] acres of land were dug out, it really became a hill.

The output of the [-] mu of wasteland land is roughly estimated to be about [-] catties, and the yield per mu is only about five or six hundred catties.

This output is several times lower than the yield per mu of about [-] catties of kudzu in Austin's previous life, but the seeds of kudzu in the previous life were specially cultivated, and the various fertilizers are not comparable to the crude planting environment now.

What's more, in the previous life, it took more than half a year from planting to harvesting kudzu, but here in another world, it can be harvested in only one and a half months, which is quite different.

Moreover, the output of these kudzu roots that have been intensively planted and cared for is at least several times higher than that of wild kudzu roots.

If you go out to collect, even if the entire Longchao tribe spends a whole month digging Pueraria lobata and travels the mountains with a radius of tens of kilometers, it may not be able to dig up [-] catties.

But now, this amount of pueraria was produced in a mere [-] mu of land. How could the orcs not be terrified?

What's more, after this field is reclaimed, when it's time to plant kudzu again, it doesn't need to spend a lot of effort like it did when it was reclaimed.

In this way, no matter how simple the orcs are, they still know that the food obtained by opening up wasteland and planting is far better than going out to collect food.

"Success!"

Looking at the orcs on the field who were in a carnival, and the kudzu roots piled up next to them, the blue young dragon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it is paired with the meat from hunting and various wild fruit seeds collected outside, the orcs in the Longchao tribe will consume about one to two catties of kudzu root per person per day.

Of course, if you just eat kudzu root every day, it is estimated that each person will consume about three catties per day, but with the strength of the Dragon Nest tribe today, plus the wild rabbits and wild boars raised, it is not impossible to hunt and collect food every day.

Calculated in this way, then the 20 acres of land and the output of about [-] catties of kudzu root can at least maintain the survival of more than [-] people in the Dragon Nest tribe for more than ten days. If the rations of the orcs can be reduced, it can even maintain [-] sky.

Moreover, this is only the output of the [-] acres of land opened up for the first time!

Today, under Austin's order, the Dragon Nest tribe has reclaimed a total of about [-] acres of land.

And because of the relationship between land preparation and planting after land reclamation, the planting time of each land is different. It is about ten days or so from the second land reclamation land of about [-] mu to mature Pueraria.

Calculated in this way, if the [-] to [-] mu of wasteland is cultivated in turn, the kudzu root produced is enough to feed the entire dragon nest tribe orcs.

And this time the food crisis has been completely resolved.

But even so, Austin will never let go of the work of reclaiming wasteland.

Although the output of the [-] to [-] acres of land that has been reclaimed today can feed the orcs of the Dragon's Nest tribe with a rapidly increasing population, after this food incident, Austin has decided to hoard a large amount of food.

Before launching the next war to annex other tribes, you must budget enough food in the warehouse to avoid food shortages caused by population surges.

And now with the rapid increase in the population of the Dragon Nest Tribe and the large increase in labor force, the orcs will work faster to open up wasteland, open up more fields, and thus produce more food.

　There is an update today, subject four will be tested in two days, and I have to take a good look at the questions, but I will recommend it tomorrow, so I decided to save the manuscript and move it to tomorrow, and the second update during the recommendation period, I hope this time I will not rush again, otherwise Sanjiang should There is no hope.
