The correct way to open the sprite

.., the latest chapter of the fastest update of the correct way to open the wizard

Borui, who followed Feng Yu and Dick onto the wasteland, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Because of the nearly 20-meter height difference between the wasteland and the Lengshui River, Borui was never able to see the wasteland water irrigating the fields that the messenger said was a good harvest on the ship.

But when he stepped onto the wilderness, what he saw was indeed not the vast tracts of corn he imagined, but a very common plant along the river, cattails.

In the farmland surrounded by square grids, there are neat rows of cattails. At first glance, they look like artificial cultivation and are definitely not the product of natural growth.

"This this"

Borui had been thinking about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why.

As the successor to the king of the dwarves, Rao Shi Borui has a very broad ability and vision, but he never expected that he would see such a scene the first time he came to the Cattail City camp.

"This is a cattail planting field. It is the work of Alan Heimer, the chief of the Halfling Heimer clan. He developed a set of techniques for raising seedlings and growing cattails.

A complete set of techniques for planting cattails in paddy fields has been developed on the loess land near the Lengshui River that can hold water.

What you see now are the first batch of cattails planted this year. They have escaped from the cold shoals of the Lengshui River and adapted well to the hot wasteland.

Cattails planted in paddy fields began to bear ears in mid-summer, and they are still bearing ears now. Their overall yield has exceeded that of corn. "

Borui said in disbelief: "In other words, you are now"

Feng Yu said: "Yes, the first batch of fragrant snow rice has already entered the dining tables of the three families in the camp. However, because this year is only an experimental planting, the planting area is not large and there is not much yield, so there is no impact on the snow." Summit Mountains and Hazy Moon Forest for sale.

However, starting from next summer, this situation should change, and the camp farmland should be able to sell fragrant snow rice in small quantities. "

Borui no longer knew what to say. The king of the dwarf kingdom and his senior officials, who could only eat a small amount of wild fragrant snow rice on the banks of the Lengshui River twice a year, actually came to the dining table of the three tribes in Cattail City.

"It's just incredible."

Dick smiled and said: "The name of the camp is Cattail City, it has to live up to its name."

Borui asked: "Can cattails produce more than corn?"

"That's right, because after cattails are planted, their ears begin to mature in small numbers from mid-summer, and they slowly stop forming ears until the climate turns cooler in the wilderness, so they can be harvested for half a year.

And because cattails need to be soaked in water to grow, paddy fields can also breed fish, frogs and the like. After the cattail seedlings grow taller, they can also raise wild geese and other birds in them. Not only can they harvest fragrant snow rice, but they can also receive goods. A lot of meat and eggs. "

Borui kept thinking about it for a long time. He was so surprised by this set that he didn't know what to say.

Before Borui could calm down his surprise, Feng Yu smiled and revealed another situation that left him speechless.

"Due to the climate of the wilderness, these cattails cannot freeze to death in the coldest winter. The halfling brothers are still experimenting to see if the cattails will grow taller and more vigorous next year after spending the winter in the wilderness. More ears will come out.

In other words, cattails may be a crop grown in one year and harvested in many years.

I heard that a small amount of cattails were planted along the Green Water River between the two great empires of mankind. However, when humans planted cattails, the three tribes had already cut off contact with humans, so we are not sure about this possibility. We can only slowly Try to come.

However, even if the number of cattails harvested for half a year decreases next year, we can replant them every year.

Even so, growing cattails is much less labor-intensive than growing corn and potatoes. "

Borui looked at Feng Yu and Dick and said, "I am really shocked here."

Dick laughed loudly, and he, Feng Yu and Bo Rui rode on the prepared blue sheep and horned deer and walked along the canal, watching the fields of cattails along the way.

Even though he was driving a luxury car, it took him a long time to reach the place where corn and potatoes were planted. Only when he got here did Borui find a glimpse of what he imagined a harvest farmland should look like. After all, the cultivation of cattails was so shocking. He never dared to think about it.

The leaves at the bottom of large areas of corn have begun to wither and turn yellow, which is a sign that the corn is about to mature and is also a sign of a good harvest.

Borui looked at the corn fields and said with emotion: "Even in the irrigated fields where cattails cannot be grown, the corn here grows much larger than the corn cobs we planted in the forest land we cleared in the southern section of the Snow Summit Mountains."

Feng Yu said: “Not only because of watering the fields, the hard-working halfling brothers also use livestock manure to increase the fertility of the fields, which is also a necessary condition for high yields.

Otherwise, relying solely on the fertility of the land itself, even if irrigation is convenient and the yield is so high every year, the land itself will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, it is not only necessary to farm, but also to raise some livestock with the straw of crops such as corn. This not only provides meat, but also relies on livestock manure to fertilize the fields. It is a good agricultural production cycle. "

Borui nodded and said, "It seems we still have a lot to learn."

Feng Yu really doesn't need so many workers, otherwise he really doesn't want the dwarves to learn farming. But in the final analysis, food is the basis for survival. Halflings alone cannot provide all the elves and dwarves outside the camp. food.

"It doesn't matter. The halflings in the camp have been planting water and irrigating the fields for two years and have gained a lot of experience. When the time comes, we can send some halflings over to guide you.

This thing is not difficult. As long as you are willing to work hard, farmland with no shortage of water will not disappoint the dwarf brothers.

As for things like steam engines, pumps, and pipes, we will install them in place and provide daily maintenance work.

Master Mason discovered a layer of flint around the magnetite. Although it was far away from the river, it could still be used, but the transportation was a bit laborious.

However, the steam pump does not need to be turned on all the time, so transportation is not a big problem.

Raise more livestock and transport more wood to make animal-powered wooden carts by floating wood on the Lengshui River. We can provide axles and steel wheel inner rings here, which can still solve the problem of flint transportation.

Wood can also be used to build houses. I will take you to see our living area later. Houses with thick brick walls and thick earth roofs are very suitable for living in the wilderness. They can effectively isolate the harsh sun of the wilderness. Very comfortable to live in. "

Borui knew about the lumber transportation on the Lengshui River. Many unemployed dwarves went to cut down trees along the river to exchange for salt with the steamships in Cattail City.

This has almost become a fashion in the Xueding Mountains, and a lot of the coniferous forests along the Lengshui River have been cut down.
