Chapter 269 We Join
There was a great upheaval among the forest tribes.
A newly dug channel served as the dividing line, dividing the camp into Ye Li and the Second Elder.
Those whose homes were in the enemy camp moved overnight and lived in the empty tree houses in the camp they chose.
The land was also divided into two parts, each used for production.
"Great Elder, we have more than a hundred people who have not received any food. What will these hundred people eat?" Li Yunkai was very anxious. If they started to starve, their camp would immediately fall apart.
Ye Li took out the plan he had prepared long ago: "Everything I want to do is written here. You just need to do it according to my plan."
Li Yuan, Li Sangtian and others immediately came over to take a look.
“Greenhouse vegetables?”
"Yes," Ye Li said, "As long as we build a greenhouse, we can eat vegetables in all seasons even in winter, and we don't have to rely on the weather for our food anymore."
"But vegetables alone are not enough. What's important is the staple food," said Li Sangtian.
"The greenhouse is the key. We also grow potatoes in the greenhouse, and its harvest cycle is very short. As long as we can get through these difficult days, everything will be fine in the future." Ye Li said.
"You mean, you want the rest of us to give back the food we distributed before?" Li Yunkai guessed.
"Yes," Ye Li said, "Gather all the food and distribute it according to supply. We can all get through this difficult time together."
"Aren't we going to drive people to the Second Elder?" Li Yunkai strongly disagreed.
Ye Li said, "Even though I have a wealth of knowledge about agriculture, I cannot violate the laws of the seasons. Please trust me once again. When the harvest comes, I will definitely make sure you have enough to eat."
"This is going to be a big gamble." Li Yuan said, "I'm joining this gamble."
Li Sangtian and Li Yunkai hesitated for a moment and said, "We'll join too."
In Ye Li's camp, it was announced again that all the food should be concentrated and then distributed.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. Many people who chose Ye Li's camp left, and more than a hundred people left.
The rest of the people were willing to donate the food in their homes for Ye Li to redistribute.
Li Yunkai collected all the grain and redistributed it, and warned everyone to save food as much as possible and wait for the wheat harvest in the spring.
At the same time, a winter plowing plan was also issued. Except for those who were sick and unable to get out of bed, everyone had to go to the fields to work.
Since they have chosen to stay, naturally no one will have any objection.
Li Yuan led everyone out of the tribe to look for all the usable plastics. With the help of Xiaowei's skillful sewing skills, he sewed the plastics together with silk thread to make them wide enough to cover the shed.
Although it looks tattered, it is still usable.
The construction of the greenhouse and the plowing and sowing of the land were carried out simultaneously, and everything was completed when the next snow fell.
Li Sangtian and his men simply lived in the greenhouse, maintaining it every day and making fire to keep the temperature in the greenhouse high so that the seeds in the soil could germinate.
Everyone in Ye Li's camp was exhausted from winter plowing. Although they believed in Ye Li, they couldn't help feeling anxious. Fortunately, after more than ten days, all the vegetable seeds they planted sprouted, even the potatoes.
When Li Sangtian passed on the news, everyone's anxious hearts immediately calmed down. They worked diligently every day and waited patiently for the harvest.
This time, Ye Li was more cautious and specially sent Li Yuan to lead people to patrol around the greenhouse to make sure that the people from the second elder's side were not allowed to get close.
So the Second Elder's camp could only watch from afar. The greenhouse was covered with colorful plastic, making it impossible to see inside. So many people came and went every day, and no one knew what they were busy with.
