"Yue Yan said they also planted it, but for some reason, the yield was pitifully low. The radishes were much smaller, and they could only be harvested for one season. The radishes also grew slowly when they arrived in Moon City."
"The radish yield per mu in our Sea Tribe is at least 2,000 kilograms, right? The radish yield per mu in their Moon Tribe is less than 300 kilograms. If we pickle them into salted radish, they will shrink by half, and there won't be much left..."
If Wu Qi said that, then growing radishes really wouldn't be that interesting. Planting corn would at least yield 500 kilograms per mu, wouldn't that be more economical?
"Goddamn it, if we grow radishes here, won't the yield be pathetically low?" Bai Ying was also a little worried. Ma Yue had already hinted that he didn't want to go back, but was this place suitable for growing radishes? Without radishes, wouldn't the delicious salted radish be gone?
Growing crops is really related to the geological environment, and of course, different climates. Aside from potatoes, which have a strong adaptability, other crops... Ma Yue isn't an agricultural expert, so he doesn't know.
Ma Yue secretly made up his mind. Even if the harvest here was low, he had to plant some radishes, sunflowers, onions, and garlic. Without a rich diet, he would suffer from malnutrition. After all, he was a charlatan and had special habits. He didn't care what others wanted to do. As long as he had enough for himself, it would be fine.
Corn here isn't as cost-effective as potatoes, so it can't be grown for two seasons, so the cultivated area is small. Even if it's small, it's enough for Ma Yue to eat, right? Of course, there has to be a surplus, as deer need some cornmeal to replenish their energy when traveling far.
The old priest will take care of the planting area and other things. As long as we have enough to eat, it's fine.
Primitive people were very tough and could eat anything. They were lucky if they could eat until they were half full and not starve to death. Why would they care about nutritional balance?
"If all else fails, we can just ship it by sea and pickle it into salted radish. That will bring much better luck. Besides, this is a treasure land left by the sea god. Why shouldn't it be suitable for growing radishes?" Regardless of whether it works or not, Ma Yue, as a charlatan and the number one leader, must first have confidence in himself, right?
The climate here is so good, it's definitely a treasure land with good weather and abundant harvests...
Didn't you see that the corn grown here is almost as productive as in the Sea Tribe? Even the potato yield per acre is double that of the Thunder God Tribe. If this isn't a treasure land, what is? Tsk!
If you say it's suitable, then it's suitable. Are you a charlatan? Ma Yue said this, and Bai Ying seemed to be satisfied.
"Um... White Eagle, the Thunder God Tribe is probably still eyeing the Blue Tribe. What if we go there for a large trade and get robbed by the Thunder God Tribe?" Ma Yue was worried about this. In this damn place, there's no credibility in transactions. After all, he had already robbed the Thunder God Tribe.
Everyone can rob, and everyone enjoys it.
"There's no other way. We can only dispatch a large number of deer cavalry."
Yes, that's the only way. If it really comes to a cavalry showdown, the Thunder God Tribe might not be able to defeat the Sea Sail Tribe at the moment.
In order to expand reproduction, we must increase the number of large livestock. The Moon Tribe has wildebeests.
If others have wildebeests, you also need salt and radishes.
For now, the Haifan Tribe has no radishes, and their salt reserves are running low (they've already been traded for spirit stones), so bulk transactions are out of the question. We'll talk about that later.
With White Eagle's return, the old priest felt somewhat relieved. Effective management talent wasn't easy to cultivate. The people in this area were servile and had little sense of initiative. They were obedient, but generally not good at management.
It's truly rare for an outlier like the old priest to appear. Even Ma Yuexin's newly promoted Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Hai Dao, who were all just fine at following the script, were almost mechanically completing their tasks...
Just wait for a few people to come over from Poseidon City.
The Qingfeng tribe managed to temporarily alleviate the crisis by selling a terrifying number of mid-grade fire spirit stones in exchange for a lot of salt; the Leishen tribe began to plant sweet potatoes, but the new variety of sweet potatoes is an annual food, and whether it can alleviate the crisis depends on the autumn harvest.
The potatoes in the Thunder God Tribe's arable land have an output of 300 kilograms per mu, which can be harvested for two seasons; the potatoes with an output of 500 kilograms per mu can be harvested for one season; the corn output is also 500 kilograms, which does not look ideal.
The most important thing is that we need food now.
With permission from High Priest Lei Ting, Chief Lei Bao opened a cave for storing resources. A large tribe wouldn't be without some resources. Year after year, they accumulated food, eating up old food and storing new, increasing their reserves significantly.
Opening a storage cave would, at least, allow the Thunder God Tribe to survive this famine. Besides, it wasn't winter, so there was still some harvest from fishing and hunting. Wasn't hunting the natural habitat of primitive people? After all, the production of grain was limited, and it was mostly supplementary food.
It seems that everyone is recuperating and for the time being, everything is at peace.
Yue Yan, the third leader of the Moon Tribe at the Blue Tribe's headquarters in the Big Forest, has already informed Moon City of the discovery of the Sea Tribe's charlatan. This means there is hope for the trade of salted radish again.
Of course, we cannot be absolutely sure. After all, radishes are not grown in the new tribe where the charlatan lives.
The Sun Tribe and the Moon Tribe jointly sent troops to occupy the Blue Tribe's base. There were indeed salt mountains. The problem was that the salt mountains were too difficult to mine, and the salt production was really not very good. Furthermore, since the two tribes had sent troops together, they would share the profits equally.
Are you short of salt? Ma Yue was right. In this era, salt is never enough. The Sun Tribe is barely able to get by. After all, they already occupy a salt mountain. The Moon Tribe doesn't produce salt to begin with, but they finally occupied half of the salt mountain...
At this time, the Purple Tribe in the big forest finally reached Thunder God City.
Speaking of which, the Purple Tribe was having a tough time. They had originally thought they could produce more salt and sell it north. Unexpectedly, the Purple Tribe had accumulated a considerable amount of salt, and by the time it reached the Blue Tribe, they too had their own salt mountains. What was they going to do? They couldn't sell it for a good price.
Yes, they already have the salt mountain, so you have no confidence to raise the price, right?
Originally, I wanted to follow the Blue Tribe's footsteps and continue north to find a larger tribe to trade with.
Unexpectedly, the Sun Tribe and the Moon Tribe jointly sent troops to occupy the Blue Tribe's base. Then, the combined forces of the Thunder God Tribe and the Moon Tribe arrived...
The poor Purple Tribe could only watch the show from the sidelines. Seeing the battle of two thousand troops, the Purple Tribe's chieftain, Zi Ya, who personally watched the battle, felt so lost.
Zi Ya is an ambitious person, and his ambition is quite big. He also hopes to be like Ma Yue and lead his tribe to dominate the world.
Still a long way to go!
After being lost for a long time, Zi Ya finally cheered up. We are weak now, but as long as we have salt, we will develop sooner or later.
The Blue Tribe had no shortage of salt, so Ziya decided to head north. Any place that could send 2,000 soldiers must be a large tribe, and it would definitely fetch a good price.
Tracking the Thunder God Tribe and the Moon Tribe, Zi Ya finally found the Thunder God City.
The poor Thunder God Tribe is worried about where to get salt. The Ice Eye Tribe and the Clear Wind Tribe have spirit stones that can be exchanged for salt, but we don’t, right?
