Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 166 Farming + Conquering Victory Mode (1)

After having a clear goal, Ning Yuan devoted himself to the construction of the territory.

He would ride a white horse between five cities every day, personally checking the progress of each city.

The construction of the city was originally a big project, but with the addition of the infinite orc race, the speed at which the condor led the construction of the city suddenly increased.

Although those tall orcs were clumsy, but Ning Yuan didn’t need them to do any delicate work, only they needed to sell coolie to carry the heaviest stones.

Of course, in return for their hard work, adequate and nutritious food is definitely indispensable.

Looking at the more and more appetizing orcs, Ning Yuan now finally knows why they can’t form a large-scale tribe, because it is really impossible to feed so many big stomach kings.

Fortunately, the Condor collar was backed by Lake Victory, and now there is a fishing expert from the Swan tribe, otherwise it is estimated that the food stocks of the Condor tribe would have to be eaten up by these big stomach kings in a short time.

October is the harvest season. Since the weather has been smooth this year, the Condor led a bumper harvest.

Although the land cultivated by the Condor led ushered in a bumper harvest, Ning Yuan gave a very strange order, that is, except for plants with fleshy roots such as radishes and carrots, all the harvested grains are not allowed to be eaten.

Because although this year is a bumper harvest year, the variety of seeds available to the Condor is limited, so the harvested varieties of food are not enough for the more than 200,000 people in the territory to eat. In order to have a bigger harvest in the coming year, Ning Yuan had no other choice but to make this move.

For plants of the radish genus like carrots, white radishes, and carrots, their flowering period is April and May, and their fruiting period is May and June. People usually eat their tuberous rhizomes, so as long as they prepare seeds in May and June. After the cultivation work, the fleshy roots harvested in October can be eaten freely.

And food crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes will not work.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes need their tuberous rhizomes to grow, so if you want to plant a large field in the coming year, you must retain as many of their tuberous rhizomes as possible.

Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can also be cultivated by cuttings, because cuttings are very demanding on the environment, the leaders of the condor collar are still in the groping stage, so if you want to grow them on a large scale, you must Use tuberous rhizomes to grow seedlings.

Not to mention plants such as rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum. Their seeds are both food and offspring. If you want to grow these food crops on a large scale, you must preserve their offspring.

As for cucumbers, tomatoes, winter melon, Calabash and other green vegetables, because their seeds all grow in the fruit.

To let their seeds grow to maturity, they have to watch their fruits slowly grow old and rot. Therefore, in order to obtain a large number of seeds, the people of the Condor collar can only watch. They grow older and older until they rot.

Originally, Ning Yuan knew nothing about this knowledge. He only knew that seeds could germinate and grow, but other things were not very clear.

But when he saw other player lords exchanging experience in planting on the forum, he suddenly realized that he had to learn this knowledge himself, otherwise he would only rely on the people in the territory to explore and comprehend by himself, I am afraid it will be the year of the monkey. .

To this end, he read a lot of books and materials.

However, some planting knowledge is too esoteric, and the requirements for the environment are relatively high, which is impossible to achieve in this age of ignorance and backwardness.

And Ning Yuan couldn’t hide in the territory every day to study how to grow crops, so he finally picked a few more practical studies.

Rice, sorghum, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and soybeans are the most important food crops in human society. They are not only high-yielding, but also easy to grow. Therefore, Ning Yuan’s main research is the cultivation and care of these plants.

Originally, only sweet potato was found in the territory of Ningyuan.

But there are no other food crops in his territory, but it doesn’t mean that other people’s territories also don’t have it. So at this time, he can reflect the benefits of the war of aggression. Although he doesn’t have it, he can grab it from some people.

Although Ning Yuan took the initiative to go out and invade a limited number of times, all those who could not stand him were rich and rich.

Although I don’t know if they also snatched these seeds from other people, since the things were already in hand, Ning Yuan would not trace the origin of these things.

After gathering these important grain seeds, all Ning Yuan needs to do is to successfully plant them, and then start snowballing, accumulating more and more.

In this era, the land is very fertile. As long as seeds are sown in the soil, they will basically take root. Therefore, what Ning Yuan really needs to study is the knowledge of potato and sweet potato seedlings.

Although Ning Yuan had never planted the land himself, he had seen the potatoes and garlic sprout at home, so he had no difficulty in mastering this knowledge.

Of course, the so-called big harvest also depends on who is compared. Compared with those wild areas, Ning Yuan is indeed a big harvest, but compared with other player territories, his here is much inferior.

Although Ning Yuan could learn how to grow crops, he had never planted it himself before, so compared with those experienced farmers and agricultural experts, the knowledge he learned was not enough.

Some big guilds and wealthy local players, for the development of their territories, they directly spent a lot of money to invite agricultural experts and experienced farmers. Under the guidance of these professionals, the yield per mu of farmland in their territories can be required. Much higher than here in Ningyuan.

Take wheat as an example. The highest yield per mu in Ningyuan is more than 500 catties, while those with professional guidance are all from 800 catties to 1,000 catties. One mu of land is less than a few hundred catties. The gap is immediately apparent.

Ning Yuan had always thought that after the so-called experts came to this primitive place, there would be no use. After all, the conditions here were too backward, and some modern things could not be displayed here.

It wasn’t until he saw everyone sharing his harvest this year on the forum that he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

Although most of the martial arts of professionals have been abolished without some modern instruments and equipment, some things are precious experiences that mankind has summed up through generations. These things will never be out of date and can be applied to Various situations.

Take farming as an example, although without equipment, professionals can no longer process seeds scientifically, and can no longer cultivate seeds with high yield and good resistance.

But they know what kind of seeds are most suitable for planting, how to plant them, and how to care for them to make crops grow better.

However, Ning Yuan’s eyes were darkened. He didn’t know what kind of seeds were the best, and the spacing and number of seeds he planted. He also copied some data from the information, and he couldn’t adapt to local conditions.
