Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 85 Finn (Subscribe for the third update)
In his last life, Austin had a wide range of reading hobbies and had seen such a case.

In the [-]th century, because of the advantage of potato production, it defeated many food crops and became one of the mainstream crops in Ireland. Then, in a certain year, a potato virus swept across the whole of Ireland, resulting in a large reduction in potato production that year, creating a terrible disaster. The famine caused the population of Ireland to drop by a quarter that year.

It is precisely because I remember that case that although the world environment is different, Austin still spends great efforts to achieve the diversification of food species in case possible.

Of course, the planting at this stage cannot be stopped, and kudzu root may even be the main food of the Dragon Nest Tribe for a relatively long period of time in the future.

Because even after several months of development, the reserves of kudzu vines in the Longchao tribe are only enough to consume the entire tribe for two months. As long as there are no major problems, kudzu vines will always occupy most of the fields.

Whether it is thorn fruit or ground rice, these two can only be regarded as insurance against future kudzu vine diseases and reduced production.

Because of this, even though the domestication of wild rice species has not been completed and the yield is low, Austin still ordered the orcs to start small-scale rice planting to add another point of insurance to the food security of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

"It's a pity that there was only one taro that day. If you want to plant it on a large scale, at least you have to wait until you have enough seeds in a few years."

Thinking of the piece of taro, Austin felt a little depressed. Later, he asked the centaur leader Chiron to lead a team to search around the tribe's ruins, but after all, he found no clues.

Although he was a little regretful about this, Austin was not the kind of person who was entangled, so he put this regret behind him after a second thought.

With Austin's decision to diversify food crops, it is naturally impossible for the orcs of the Dragon's Nest tribe to be quiet.

Especially when it was directly related to the foundation of the orc people's livelihood, naturally there was a lot of disturbance in the tribe.

Because whether it is planting wild rice in paddy fields or planting food such as bramble fruit rice in dry land, the effort must be much greater than cutting kudzu vines, which also makes the orcs of the Dragon Nest tribe a little puzzled.

In their view, planting kudzu vines is simple and yields a lot anyway, so why spend so much effort to grow those food plants that even yield less than one-tenth of kudzu root?
It's just that although they don't understand, no one has any resistance.

Not to mention that they had experienced political brainwashing during the military training and transformation. Every orc knew that it was the most honorable lord His Royal Highness who proposed to open up wasteland and farm to solve their food and clothing problems. From the bottom of their hearts, they had unparalleled respect for Austin.

In their cognition, they can fill their stomachs every day, they can live in a warm and comfortable house, they can have a safe living environment, and they can easily win every battle, all because of the great Blue Dragon Highness.

Even if it was to die for Austin, they would not hesitate to do it, let alone just spend a little more energy growing other food crops.

What's more, some orcs think that the staple food for the past six months is kudzu root, although compared to the days of starvation in the past, it is very good to be able to fill their stomachs.

But even the orcs, after solving the problem of food and clothing, also yearned for better development, so it would be good if they could change to other foods after getting used to kudzu root.

Finn is a stag body.

The status of the stag body among the many orc races in the Great Kava Forest is a bit awkward, caught between the middle and the bottom, neither up nor down.

As halflings, they are larger than kobolds, jackals, etc., but stags also inherit the characteristics of elk. They are timid and cowardly by nature, and they will often run away first when they encounter danger, and dare not face it. Compared with its own powerful beast prey, its body is not enough to compare with centaur in terms of running burst or stamina.

Due to many factors, staghorns often have the same status as kobolds among mixed orc tribes.

Finn is a wandering orc.

He was kicked out by the tribe in the cold winter. To be precise, he escaped by himself, because at that time the food of the whole tribe was already at the bottom. The leader was eaten.

In the cold winter, there is ice and snow everywhere, the earth is covered by thick ice and snow, and even tree roots and bark are difficult to obtain, the whole stomach is hungry like a fire, and they still face the erosion of cold, I don’t know how many wandering orcs are in It was frozen into an ice sculpture before the sun rose the next day.

Finn didn't even dare to recall those days of hard struggle.

But extremely fortunately, he survived the icy cold winter by chance, and the ice and snow began to melt, but at that time, his whole body was already starved to the point of skinny bones, to the point where the lights were exhausted.

At that moment, he felt the luckiest thing in his life had happened.

He saw the black smoke column rising from the sky in the distance, and after a difficult trek, he finally arrived at the place where the Dragon Nest tribe was recruiting people, and successfully joined the Dragon Nest tribe.

From that moment on, he got a new life.

No longer need to be hungry with an empty stomach, no longer need to worry about being attacked by wild animals when you sleep at night, no longer need to worry about being nowhere to take shelter when it rains
Although the Dragon's Nest Tribe has strict regulations of one kind or another, it feels like living in a prison cell, but even if there is a choice, Finn will not hesitate to choose the Dragon's Nest Tribe.

No reason, just because it can fill your stomach here.

Thinking of having a full meal, Finn couldn't help touching his newly filled stomach.

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you for your kindness."

Finn whispered in his heart, praying sincerely.

He has reasons for doing this, and he has only boundless reverence for Lord Austin on the top.

"Finn, your wood material has arrived today!"

"Oh, ok, here we come!"

There was a voice in the distance, and Finn quickly came to his senses and ran over.

"There are so many oak logs today. Let's move them all to the mushroom house. Those raw oak logs will be piled up in the corner and wait for them to dry and rot before they can be used as culture medium. Remember to make a record. Maybe His Highness will come to see it someday." gone."

After explaining to the orc squad leader, he left, and Finn also started today's work.

The main content of his work is to move the hilly pile of oak logs in front of him into the mushroom house, and carry out unified mushroom breeding, so as to produce enough edible mushrooms.

　The fourth is later.
