"Second Priest, didn't we agree that the fruit should be fed to the pigs?" Shang Yin was very depressed. The navy's fleet had finally brought back a large amount of fruit from Lingguo Island, but it was soon divided up by the Second Priest and his men.
"Shang Yin, should we consider the overall situation? Such delicious fruits are not enough for people to eat, how can we feed them to pigs?" The second priest said as if it was a matter of course.
Yes, even the people of the wealthy sea tribe often go hungry.
"Then... transplanting more fruit trees like this would be okay, right?"
"Of course, damn it! Such delicious fruit is rotting in piles on Lingguo Island. It's a crime." The second priest said, taking out a golden fruit and taking a bite.
Lingguo Island is almost a paradise for fruit trees, with fruit trees of various varieties almost everywhere.
"Where are the fruit trees?" Shang Yin asked.
"Cai Ji's Ministry of Agriculture took it away. If the transplant is successful, our Hai Tribe will have an extra food source in the future."
"Damn it!" Shang Yin was so angry. After all the hard work, the Animal Husbandry Bureau was left with nothing. Where was the pig feed that was promised?
"Shang Yin, the charlatan has issued an order to add fruit to the diet of senior leaders. They say eating a few pieces of fruit every day is good for health and longevity." The second priest said, "Remember this: every three days, go to the chef to get some fruit."
"Oh?" This news was very unexpected. The charlatan's diet was very rich, and he required every high-ranking member of the sea tribe to eat as much as possible. Since it was good for health and longevity, everyone was naturally happy to do so.
Shang Yin is the Minister of Commerce, and his rank is high enough to be considered a member of the senior leadership.
"So, transplanting these fruit trees is very important, and it would be more appropriate to hand it over to Cai Ji."
Okay, this is a matter of senior leadership's health. Fruit trees are more than just pig farming. What else can Shang Yin say? Are you from the Animal Husbandry Bureau more professional than agricultural technicians at planting fruit trees?
There are many varieties of fruit trees, and not all of them are suitable for transplantation. Did Ma Yue fail in transplanting the fire spirit fruit tree?
"Let me try it!"
"This yellow fruit is sweet."
“It’s really delicious!”
"This green fruit is sour. The charlatan said that we should eat it moderately."
"So sour?" Shang Yin felt like his teeth were about to fall out from the sourness.
"This tastes very strange. The charlatan said it tastes like mint."
…
Ma Yue didn't know what a truly balanced diet meant, so he just tried to eat a little bit of everything, especially fruit, which he said had many benefits. Of all the different types of fruit, Ma Yue barely recognized any, except for grapes.
Haifan City's area is limited. Bingyueyue and Bingyueshui had already transplanted a large number of water-type spiritual fruit trees, leaving almost no room. So, they should transplant them outside the city.
Haifan City alone won't be enough. Each region has different climate characteristics, suitable for different crop production. We should transplant some from Haifan City, and also from Poseidon City and Qiuhai City to see which fruit trees grow best in which areas.
Of course, there were wild fruits in the forests and meadows. However, primitive people were very hungry, and almost all the fruits had been picked and eaten, leaving no room for anything left. Ma Yue didn't recognize many of the fruits, and had never had any desire to plant any.
These transplanted fruit trees were decided to be transplanted only after the fruits on Lingguo Island were proven to be edible and non-toxic.
As for the fruits that Ma Yue was familiar with in his previous life, such as apples, pears, watermelons, bananas, pineapples, etc., there were none.
Grapes are vine-growing fruit trees that need trellises and cannot be grown all over the ground. As for trellises for grapes, Ma Yue knew a lot about them. In his previous life, there were many grafted grapes growing in his yard.
As a result, the walls of Ma Yue's training area had almost become a paradise for growing grapes. Not bad, this place was suitable for growing grapes. After all, it was a fruit he was familiar with, so he could eat it with peace of mind.
Since Ma Yue really approves of grapes as a fruit, then... soon, grape racks began to be built in every corner of the large wooden houses in Haifan City.
In theory, grape transplants are the most successful of all the fruits grown in Haifan City. The so-called technique for growing grapes is quite simple. They don't seem to take up much space, and can be attached to wooden house pillars, yard timber posts, or even stone walls. If that's still not enough, simply erect a few more wooden poles nearby.
Ma Yue was more familiar with the setting up and planting of grapes, so he was the first to popularize grapes in the Hai tribe.
Of course, Ma Yue also knew that a real grape plantation would require rows of arable land and racks, and a large number of people. It wasn't worth it. To put it bluntly, grapes were not the main food. With that arable land, it would be better to plant more potatoes and corn.
No matter what, planting more grapes in Haifan City can be considered a contribution to greening.
As for the other fruit trees, Ma Yue didn't know much either, so he asked Cai Ji to take the people from the Ministry of Agriculture to slowly study them. These fruit trees are everywhere on Lingguo Island, so I think they should be able to be cultivated in a rough manner.
As for the pigsty, Ma Yue had simply driven them out of the city because the smell was too strong. The Hai Tribe wasn't what it used to be. Before, the livestock were all in the city. Now, the Hai Tribe was stronger, and the livestock pens were all outside the city. Ma Yue paid close attention to the sanitation of Haifan City.
Anyone caught urinating or defecating in public would be spanked by the Justice Bureau. Toilets were also cleaned daily and disinfected with white lime, and feces were sent to a designated area for natural fermentation. Even pig pens were covered in white lime.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has stipulated that residents of Haifan City must bathe in the river near the city at least once a week. Even fur coats must be washed regularly.
Anyone who dares to drink raw water will be spanked by the Judicial Bureau.
