"You charlatan, the Lingguo Island branch has only 4,000 people, which is still too weak." The third priest is slandering again, but you still think it makes sense.
Due to the difficulty in developing arable land, the population of the Lingguo Island branch was reduced by half. However, the emergence of chest harnesses greatly improved productivity. There is no need for so many people, right?
"Farming, boiling salt, drying sweet potatoes, raising pigs, pioneering... charlatan, the Lingguo Island branch has a lot of business and needs a lot of manpower, but there are no people from other tribes to hire there." The third priest continued.
"How many people does White Eagle need?" Ma Yue asked.
"If we try to fill them, we'll need about 2,000 people." If you want more people, you have to create more value. Otherwise, it's your leadership's fault. The Hai Tribe has provided basic needs, not for you to waste.
"Where is Poseidon City?"
"Two thousand people are too few, insufficient for even basic defense," said the Third Priest. "Judging from the radish yield of Seagod City this autumn, the yield per mu is roughly 1,500 kilograms per year, which is a significant decrease. However, because the amount of arable land has more than tripled, the overall radish production in Seagod City is not small."
The calculation made by the Three Sacrifices is correct, and the amount of food wealth created per capita is increasing.
"If things continue like this next year, we'll increase the population and livestock in Poseidon City so we can harvest more radishes."
Ma Yue thought about it and agreed. There were too many large livestock concentrated at headquarters, so distributing some to the branches in need was essential. If Poseidon City could produce 1,500 kilograms of radishes annually, that would be quite a lot. In the past, one large livestock in Poseidon City could cultivate two crops, yielding 2,000 kilograms per mu, or 4,000 kilograms per year.
Now, with three times more arable land, the annual yield of a large livestock is 1,500 kilograms multiplied by three. In other words, the annual grain output of a large livestock is 5 or 6 kilograms more.
Of course, cost-effectiveness is relative. If such large livestock were kept in warmer regions, they would produce even more potatoes.
It is hard to say whether potatoes or radishes are more important. At least, if radishes are pickled into salted dried radishes, their value will be extremely high, which is incomparable to potatoes.
But what about potatoes? They are the staple food. Aren’t they important?
"God, generally speaking, thanks to the emergence of the chest harness and the fact that our Sea Tribe has sufficient large livestock, it seems that every additional person in our Sea Tribe can create more food value. Currently, many of our Sea Tribe's large livestock are managed cooperatively."
There was nothing they could do about it. Ma Yue refused to accept anyone, and the Hai tribe had so many large livestock that they couldn't let them go to waste, right? They could only cooperate with people from other tribes to manage the farmland. At least, 20% of the food would be gone.
Is 20% too little? The three priests felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
"Are there many refugees coming from outside the city?" Ma Yue asked.
"A lot. After the great battle in the Thunder God City area, many people from that area fled to the core area. Many people came here riding on deer, willing to join our Sea Tribe with the deer."
Yeah, riding a deer is faster, right? The Thunder God Tribe's reputation is truly terrible. Who the hell would be willing to sacrifice their own blood and energy to help others cultivate their godhood?
Everyone knows that the Sea Tribe doesn't accept people, so it's okay for us to give away our livestock for free, right?
"Four thousand large livestock?"
“That’s roughly the number.”
"I knew it was like this, haha!" Ma Yue smiled, and the old face of the third priest turned red.
What Lingguo Island needs two thousand? There are too few people in the Sea God City. Isn’t the third priest just attracted by the big livestock that was given for free?
Four thousand large livestock is too many. Even for arable land, it would require eight thousand people.
Most of these 4,000 large livestock and refugees were from the Qingfeng Tribe, and some were escapees from the Moon Tribe. It was infuriating to say the least, given the large number of livestock and people who had escaped.
"The autumn harvest in Seagod City is a little early, and the spring plowing season is still a long way off," Ma Yue said. "The Spiritual Fruit Island branch is also about to have its autumn harvest, and the spring plowing season will require more manpower. You're recruiting so many people now..."
I ate it for free for several months.
"God charlatan, it will take time for you to convert these people."
Damn it! You're so calculating to the core, you're willing to pay any price to get these 4,000 large livestock.
"Alright! The big livestock has been delivered to my door, I have to take it."
"I'll arrange it right away." The third priest left happily.
Most of the four thousand deer and some wildebeests were able-bodied men. The old and weak had no status and were not qualified to ride large livestock to escape, so they were almost all thrown to the Thunder God Tribe.
These deserters had made a good bet. They arrived riding their large beasts, and the Sea Tribe accepted them. Whether you were originally from the Breeze Tribe or the Moon Tribe, you all yearned for the prosperity of the Sea Tribe. Who doesn't want a full stomach? With a full belly, fighting for your life is worth it, right?
"Bing Yueshui, Bing Yueyue, you guys have to work hard first and try your best to win over these newcomers." Bing Yueshui and Bing Yueyue are also martial artists, and they are good at playing 'miracle', at least, it is a little more vivid.
"Okay! Leave it to us." Bing Yueshui and Bing Yueyue currently have no specific positions in Haifan City. They spend most of their time in the navy, just to comprehend the artistic conception of the water system as much as possible.
With specific responsibilities, of course I have to work.
There's no need to change the strategy. We can't always rely on our own 'miracles' to naturalize, right? Should we naturalize Bingyueshui and Bingyueyue for a while? That way, some people will identify with the Hai Tribe. If that doesn't work, we can just go in ourselves.
