The area for growing green onions is not large, but we can still harvest three acres of green onions, with a total of more than 3,000 kilograms, which is very good.
In the 21st century, the yield per mu of green onions is about 2,000 kilograms (it is said that the best green onions can yield 10,000 kilograms per mu), which is incomparable.
Although primitive people did not pay much attention to sunflower greens, they are still green vegetables, and even the only green vegetables. For Ma Yue, who is used to the combination of meat and vegetables, they are at least indispensable.
At the moment, in this era, tea has not been discovered yet. If we only eat meat, without tea and vegetables, the situation will be very bad.
Despite this, Ma Yue was still not satisfied. There were about 700 people in the Hai tribe, and on average each person did not have many radishes and sunflowers.
So, Ma Yue was very stingy and only sold a small portion of the radishes and sunflowers. If it weren't for the fact that the Yu tribe had tipped him off, he wouldn't have sold him even a thousand kilograms.
Let’s wait until next year when there are more laborers and more arable land is cultivated. Who doesn’t want the people in their own tribe to have food first?
After all the vegetables were harvested, the high priest sent more than 300 people in the tribe who had faith power above the intermediate level designated by Ma Yue to the beach to boil salt.
All right! Anyway, salt is always the most important thing. Whether it is for the needs of one's own tribe or for trade, salt is a good thing.
"We can't buy any more people. We need to be able to produce and store more food first." A tribe's development is best achieved gradually. The Hai Tribe has taken too big a leap in the past two years. Constant food shortages are unacceptable.
The arable land should be as large as possible, and the food output should be as large as possible. In everything, food should come first.
The high priest and Chief Hai also agreed with the tone set by Ma Yue. The larger the tribe, the more difficult it was to manage, especially when it came to food, as everyone was born with a fear of starvation.
"We can get more wildebeest. After all, they only need to eat grass most of the year."
The high priest and Chief Hai nodded again. Grass is always easier to get than food, right? Even if they needed more fodder for the winter, it would still be easier to get than carrots, right? Besides, wildebeests were excellent laborers for plowing the fields and could be used in wars.
The tribe’s main future development projects are wildebeest, radishes, salt and green onions. This is a primitive society, and having these main items is very remarkable.
As for the lack of staple food, there is nothing that can be done about it. Planting grains and cereals is even more troublesome. Anyway, Ma Yue doesn't know how to plant wheat or rice, so getting seeds is useless.
As for animal husbandry, wildebeest and sheep will be enough in the future, and rabbits and pheasants will be supplementary breeding. The main problem is that the pheasants currently raised have poor hatching ability, so they have never been able to expand on a large scale.
The weather was getting cooler by the minute, and the long-distance caravan of the Sea Tribe finally arrived in time. Fortunately, there was not much loss, only three people died. It was not surprising for such a large caravan to encounter robbery or something like that.
The Second Priest was delighted. Coarse salt was indeed still valuable. As long as it was 20% or 30% less expensive than the coarse salt in Sun City (which was already quite high), the Moon Tribe would be happy to exchange it for wildebeest.
God knows how many wildebeests the Moon Tribe has raised. Now there are more than 100 to 300 wildebeests of all sizes in the Sea Tribe. This scale is a bit like the embryonic form of animal husbandry.
The second sacrifice was quite particular and brought back a lot of numbness for Ma Yue.
Is this right? After all, I am an active member of the exploitation group, so how can I not have some special enjoyment?
The Second Priest not only had the most contact with the Moon Tribe, but also conducted the largest trade volume. In Sun City, the Second Priest also contacted other tribes. As expected, as long as the price of coarse salt was not too high, there were still many large tribes willing to trade.
Because there was no harvest of green onions, the Second Priest only brought a small portion of scallions, but they still received praise from many of the major tribes trading in Sun City. In general, the value of green onions can remain high.
Of course, the only truly large tribes in that area were the Sun, Moon, and Star tribes. The Second Priest was lucky to have come into contact with one of them. As for the other so-called large tribes, a population of 500 to 600 was considered good.
Generally speaking, the truly wealthy tribes in that region are the Sun, Moon, and Star Tribes, and they are most likely to engage in large-scale trade. For the Sea Tribe, the most important trade is the wildebeest trade, and the Sun, Moon, and Star Tribes all raise large numbers of them. Even if the other so-called large tribes do raise wildebeest, their numbers are relatively small.
Why was the Moon Tribe willing to trade crude salt with the Sea Tribe? Because, in that area, only the Sun Tribe possessed a salt mountain with a high salinity. Indeed, inland salt production relies on mining from salt mountains, which is much more laborious. Therefore, in that area, if you want salt, you have to buy it from the Sun Tribe, a monopoly.
Once you have a monopoly on something, it's no wonder the price isn't high. The Sea Tribe was willing to offer a 30% discount, and the Moon Tribe was already incredibly satisfied. After all, salt is in high demand, especially for a large tribe with a population of over a thousand.
According to the conservative estimate of the second priest, a super-large tribe like the Moon Tribe has a main population of at least 2,000 to 3,000, and there must be 400 to 500 able-bodied men.
The most awesome one is of course the Sun Tribe. According to the information from the second priest, the Sun Tribe is the core of this area. There are more than 2,000 people from the Sun Tribe living in the main part of the Sun City, and there are three branch tribes, with a total population of 5,000.
In that area, the Moon Tribe and the Star Tribe combined would have to fight against the most powerful Sun Tribe. Of course, that area was relatively peaceful, with few tribes fighting each other, especially the larger tribes.
