"We've already planted winter wheat seeds in the Sun City and Poseidon City branches this summer. Hopefully, we'll have some harvest next summer." As the charlatan said, winter wheat is supposedly very cold-resistant. It doesn't matter what you plant, as long as there's a harvest, it's all good, right?

There is plenty of land over there, and there is no shortage of space for seasonal farming.

The Sun City and Poseidon City branches have salt, and the salt production is not low. Of course, we can't give up. We should try to be self-sufficient as much as possible.

Generally speaking, the population of the Sun City and Poseidon City branches is small, so the pressure to support them isn't great. Of course, the tribes in the surrounding areas help you transport coal and salt ore, which is a significant expense and is calculated separately.

"The Lingguo Island branch has nearly 30,000 acres of arable land. Providing food to the Sun City, Poseidon City, and Mist Island branches is no problem. We in Haifan City no longer need to ship food there. We only need to provide aid to Qiu Haicheng."

The Lingguo Island branch is overgrown with shrubs and difficult to cultivate. Even so, the people there work hard every year to expand the arable land, and now they have 30,000 acres, which is quite impressive.

"What do you think?" Such a year-end summary meeting is very important and is related to the development strategy for next year. Ma Yue also attaches great importance to it.

"You charlatan, the location of Lingguo Island is becoming more and more important. The 30,000 acres of arable land is suitable for raising a large number of fat pigs, and it can also produce a lot of water, fire and spirit stones..." What the second priest said was really true. The 30,000 acres of arable land can roughly yield 30 million kilograms of sweet potatoes.

The number of fat pigs on Lingguo Island is increasing, making it a very important breeding ground. At the end of the year, over a thousand fat pigs were delivered to Haifan City. As for the spiritual stone mines, there are both water and fire types.

Due to the existence of many important factors, the value of Lingguo Island is enormous.

"Build a city!" the third priest said immediately, "We can't let the enemy break in so easily. With a stone city, we can attack and defend freely."

"Does White Eagle have a plan?" Ma Yue asked.

"Yes! There's no shortage of stones over there, and we've roughly identified a location for the city. It's right next to the fire spirit stone mine, and it won't take up arable land."

"I have no objection to building a stone city on Lingguo Island. The grain production there is very important, and it can be regarded as one of our three burrows." Ma Yue has always been worried. What if the climate in the warm zone also changes drastically?

The Lingguo Island branch is a good retreat.

Ma Yue had no objection. Since the Lingguo Island branch had decided to build a city, the navy would just cooperate in transporting the limestone.

"Our own fleet in Haifan City has gradually been able to hunt a lot of whales. This year, we have almost stopped trading Kun fish with the Qinghai tribe." Shuichong said. Since knowing about the No. 7 sea area where whales gather, the navy of Haifan City has hunted a lot of whales intermittently this year.

Whether it's sea beast hides or fish oil, the reserves have increased significantly, and there's really no need to trade Kun fish with the Qinghai tribe. Kun fish is also very smelly, and it's better to eat whales.

"It would be best to be self-sufficient. We are also short of our own salt." Ma Yue was satisfied with this. The navy finally demonstrated its value. It was able to hunt whales and made a huge contribution. It was no longer in vain.

"How's the Marine Corps training going?"

"Don't worry, my God! Our Marine Corps places great emphasis on the training of reserve helmsmen and sailors. If we really need to expand the navy, we'll have more than enough reserve forces."

"Great!" Ma Yue's biggest worry was what would happen if the Sea Tribe's naval helmsmen and sailors were killed in a naval battle? The training of reserve helmsmen and sailors was extremely important; this was the most important purpose of the Marine Corps.

"The Qinghai tribe also did not lose out. The sales of Kun fish to Donghai Island are also very popular. The major forces on Donghai Island have a great demand for fish oil. The Qinghai tribe has exchanged a lot of salt from Donghai Island, hehe!" Chunwu said with a smile.

The saltwater lake on Donghai Island has a high salinity and produces a lot of salt, so having the largest market would be a good thing. Trade, then, is about mutual benefit, and that's the most important thing.

"The most interesting thing is that the Qinghai tribe got a lot of salt from Donghai Island, and then used the salt to trade for sweet potatoes here, haha!" Shang Yin also laughed. "Although Donghai Island also has a lot of copper plows and shovels, the arable land area is still limited. How can there be any extra food to return to the Qinghai tribe?"

"The Lingguo Island branch harvested too many sweet potatoes in the autumn. In addition to supporting the three branches there, it would be nice to exchange them for salt. At least, salt is easier to store than sweet potatoes, right?" Ma Yue had no objection.

"No, you charlatan, the Qinghai tribe gave us salt at a very cheap price in exchange for sweet potatoes." Shang Yin said.

"Oh... haha!" Ma Yue laughed. The value of a commodity really depends on demand. The people of the Qinghai Tribe can't just eat fish, right? They need food! I'm afraid only the Hai Tribe has excess food. If you don't trade with them, you have nowhere else to exchange it, right?

Eat less salt and you won't die. Don't eat food and you'll die.

In the past, it wasn't a big deal if there wasn't food to grow, as everyone ate fish. But once you've had food, and you only eat fish... don't underestimate sweet potatoes and potatoes. Wuji Island is so cold, storing sweet potatoes and potatoes is quite convenient, with large, all-weather refrigerators.

Is there really so much salt on Donghai Island?

As I said, no matter how much salt there is, it's not enough. The salt-making technology of that era was pitifully low. However, whether there is enough salt depends on your opinion. The tribes on the East China Sea Island are very stingy with their own people. Every ten days or half a month, they are lucky to have a bowl of salty fish soup or meat soup.

How did the Purple Tribe develop in Seven Hundred City? It's a story of hunger.
