The latest intelligence report states that while the temperature in the core area has dropped significantly, reducing grain production, there is still a harvest. The sweet potato yield per mu, which used to be over 1,000 kilograms, has now dropped to 600 kilograms. At least there's a harvest, right?
As for starvation, which tribe didn't have it? They could still survive if they could just make do.
The advent of the chest harness became a lifeline for the Qingfeng and Moon tribes in the core area. The Qingfeng tribe, in particular, was not only able to harvest sweet potatoes for the spring plowing, but also to plant potatoes in the relatively warmer Xiaoshan Valley further west during the summer plowing season.
The Moon Tribe was in a relatively bad situation. After all, there was only so much land suitable for farming in this area. It turned out that the Ice Eye Tribe's territory was occupied by the Qingfeng Tribe.
"Charlatan, I think the production model of the Qingfeng tribe is worth learning from." said the third priest.
"Just tell me what you mean."
"We can plant sweet potatoes during the spring plowing season, which are harvested once a year. In our warm region, we can at least harvest eight or nine hundred kilograms, which is better than the potatoes harvested in half a season, right? (The spring plowing yield of potatoes is about 600 kilograms per mu in half a year). During the summer plowing season, we can plant potatoes in another area, which will not affect the growth of sweet potatoes. In this way, we can harvest an extra two or three hundred kilograms per mu of spring plowed land..."
What the three priests said seemed to make sense.
It turns out that when you harvest potatoes from the spring planting, you have to plow the land again for the summer planting...
Most importantly, the Hai Tribe had ample space in this warm region to expand its arable land. With summer farming, wouldn't we need to worry about the land used for spring plowing? We had plenty of land.
"Is it really a good idea to cultivate so many sweet potatoes?" Ma Yue really disliked sweet potatoes.
"You charlatan, during the summer ploughing season, are we all just potatoes?" The third priest didn't understand why Ma Yue disliked sweet potatoes. They were sweet and delicious. What's more, they could be made into delicious dried sweet potatoes.
"Okay!" After all, the average harvest of spring plowing is two to three hundred kilograms more, so sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes.
Logically, the warmer regions, with their pleasant climate, should be more suitable for growing sweet potatoes. However, for some unknown reason, the sweet potatoes grown in these warmer regions initially produced less than the yields in the core regions. Fortunately, they are still suitable for growing two crops of potatoes.
It seems that the potato yield is not very good. Although there are two harvests, the yield per mu in each season is only 600 kilograms. Potatoes are known as high-yield crops.
Well, with the advent of the chest harness, the Hai tribe can now have enough food, and Ma Yue's psychological pressure is much less. The power of faith is complementary, and Ma Yue must of course serve his fans as much as possible.
"Is Poseidon City not enough?" Poseidon City has always been an important outlet to the sea in Ma Yue's mind.
"There are no continuous heavy rains, but the climate has become noticeably colder, and the time suitable for planting radishes has shortened a lot. Although there are not so many heavy rains this year, there is no chance to harvest two seasons." The third priest also felt sorry, because Poseidon City is the largest radish producing area of the Sea Tribe.
"Okay, it's good to have a harvest." There are not many people left in Poseidon City. Some of them came back from the Lingguo Island branch, making up more than 2,000 people.
Because winters had lengthened, spring arrived more than a month later, and spring plowing began relatively late, the use of breast-strap harnesses had become more widespread. A thousand unshackled animals were quite capable, plowing eight to nine thousand acres of radish fields.
"I hope the yield per mu won't drop too much." Radishes are very important mass-produced vegetables, especially salted dried radishes, which are very real and important foods and commodities.
"Our farmland efficiency has tripled. I believe it won't be much less than before."
A colder climate doesn't mean a complete loss of crops. Even if crop yields decrease, there's still a harvest. The core area of the Qingfeng Tribe is a prime example. A yield of 600 kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu is quite a bit. How much is too much? Why would you need a bicycle?
As for Qiu Haicheng, the grain harvest was even less. Well, Qiu Haicheng is a copper-producing area, so it's only natural that it needs grain subsidies.
After the final change in farming policy was finalized, everyone went about their business. The Hai tribe could now have enough to eat, and Ma Yue no longer had to worry about anything.
The Taki tribe of Donghai Island was unnecessarily worried. For now, no major tribe had come to attack them. In fact, few major tribes had the capability to do so. The coalition forces of the Ghost Mountain Peninsula and the Ghost Forest King tribe of Ghost City had already occupied the territories of East Water Bay and West Water Bay. The remaining two major tribes in Ghost City had already occupied the entire area and seemed unwilling to send any troops.
As for the Hai tribe, they are more focused on farming. If you don't provoke the Hai tribe, they don't like to fight.
Are these coastal forces the only ones capable of attacking the Taki tribe?
The Ghost Mountain Peninsula was completely desolate. The problem wasn't just a reduction in grain production, but a near total loss. The temperature on the Ghost Mountain Peninsula had dropped so much that it was almost completely unsuitable for farming.
Because of the emergence of the sea tribe's survival model, if an area cannot be cultivated, large tribes will almost be unable to survive.
Can a small tribe survive? That depends on the strength of the larger tribe you're affiliated with. For example, if you're affiliated with Poseidon City, when it's suitable for farming, Poseidon City will cooperate with your small tribe to cultivate the land. The farming efficiency is quite high, and they'll give you half of the harvest, meaning your small tribe won't have to worry about food and drink for almost a year.
However, similar to last year, the continuous heavy rain in Poseidon City is not suitable for farming, and the small tribe you rely on has no chance to share. People are starving, and it depends on luck how many people can survive.
This year, the climate in Poseidon City has turned colder, and the Sea Tribe's work focus is on Haifan City. There are only more than a thousand large livestock in Poseidon City, and there is not much spare energy to cooperate with your small tribe in farming. So, you will continue to starve.
