"Very good, very good!" With large livestock and snow vehicles, the journey would only take two days, and they only needed to send manpower. Of course, the leader of the Tian tribe, Heitian, was very happy.
"My Hai Tribe can also provide some large livestock and copper plows. Let's work together to cultivate..." Ma Yue pointed to the wheat fields in the distance. "If you don't like winter wheat, you can exchange it with our Hai Tribe for sweet potatoes or potatoes..."
"Yes, yes!" No matter how much they could harvest, the Hai tribe would give them half, and they would only provide labor. Primitive people were least afraid of work; if they were given food, they would do anything.
Ma Yue hoped that winter wheat could continue to be cultivated in its native region. "There are over 300 people in the Sweet Tribe here. You have to keep them alive so they can help you mine and transport coal, right?" Regardless, winter wheat still has some yield, so as long as it's food, that's fine.
Of course, the Hai Tribe would also leave some men here, not many, two or three hundred cavalry would be enough. When needed, these cavalry's large livestock could be used to cultivate winter wheat and transport coal in winter. Think of it as a village extending from Qiu Hai City.
Corn is also a relatively cold-resistant crop. Let's see if we can grow it here in the Sweet Tribe. To the north of the Sweet Tribe are wheat fields and to the south are coal mines, so the location is quite good. There's plenty of flat land to the north, west, and even east, so the conditions offer even more potential than in the Qiu Haicheng area.
It doesn’t matter if the rice yield per mu is a little lower, as long as there is some, it’s good. The main thing is that it can feed people here and maintain the coal production here.
The winters here are getting longer and longer, and the frequent use of large livestock and snow trucks to transport coal cannot withstand the lack of sufficient corn to feed them.
