The planting of green onions and radishes in the Kirishima branch is basically on track. Planting corn alone is not enough, Ma Yue has his own plans.
The area devoted to corn cultivation in Kirishima's third branch will continue to shrink, with green onions and radishes being the primary crops. If you're looking for corn, there are plenty of small tribes in Kirishima that grow it, so you can simply trade.
Lu, the toolmaker, had his men craft numerous plows, in preparation for future use with wildebeests. Perhaps corn could be thrown in and planted, but onions and radishes wouldn't work.
The fifty wildebeest have already given birth to quite a few calves, indicating that this area is suitable for wildebeest survival. Moreover, the warm climate means they don't need to prepare hay for the winter.
Hai and Baipi finally returned, lived up to everyone's expectations, and brought back a large number of furs.
We can’t do without furs. If so many people return to the Sea Tribe, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to have no furs to survive the winter?
The Kirishima Branch is gradually getting back on track, and the ocean currents are finally changing.
"I have already decided on the population that will stay. We need to maintain a population of 1,000 and 300 able-bodied men." Ma Yue convened a cadre meeting. He was about to leave, but the necessary arrangements still had to be made.
Those who were arranged to stay had good faith power, and the population ratio was as reasonable as possible, regardless of gender, age or status.
"In other words, the population to be migrated by sea this time is about 2,500, and we have fifty ships involved in the transportation." Ma Yue said, looking at Bai Pi.
"There is plenty of time. The ocean currents are sufficient. There won't be too much deviation within at least two or three months," said Baipi.
Okay, Ma Yue was helpless. What else could he do except trust this unreliable white guy?
"Can fifty boats accommodate two thousand people?" Ma Yue was very skeptical.
"That should be possible."
Ships of that era were over ten meters long and four meters wide. Theoretically, a single ship could barely hold fifty people, but there were concerns about unexpected changes. There was also the issue of fresh water, and the need to carry so many furs.
"We linked the ships together with ropes, so the safety level is already very high," said Baipi.
Whether it is safe or not, the most worrying thing is encountering a storm. Sailing on the sea basically depends on luck.
Okay, just squeeze in as hard as you can.
"Luo Bai, I'll leave the Kirishima Branch Three to you."
"I'll try my best!" Luo Bai had a bit of the demeanor of a great general. Is everything acquired through training? Leading 600 troops alone to go to war was the greatest training for Luo Bai. "Godman, remember to let Shuichong replace me next year."
"Don't worry, I mean what I say." Ma Yue agreed. Living on this foggy island all the time felt a bit oppressive. Besides, it was good to change the chief of the distribution from time to time to avoid a situation where the tail becomes too big to be removed.
"Vegetables, I'll leave the farming here to you. In the future, the vegetables here will be able to bring in a lot of wealth." Ma Yue was still very much looking forward to the farming business of Kirishima Branch 3. There is no winter here. If the production is large, it will be very convenient to go to Ghost Town for trading nearby.
Convenience is relative. Going out to sea at this time is greatly restricted by ocean currents.
"Yeah!" Cai nodded resentfully, "Charlatan, remember to bring the 'bird' to replace me next year." They all have the same mentality. After all, the headquarters is home. Who doesn't want to be at home in such a beautiful stone city?
"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be replaced once a year, haha!"
Ma Yue also instructed "Bo", "Lu" and "Huangpi" to look around. The development model here is very similar to that of the headquarters, Stone City, with everything available.
They were about to leave, but when they saw fifty people squeezed in like sardines in a can, Ma Yue became unhappy.
The strategy was adjusted in time. Each ship should have 40 people, leaving an extra 500 people in the Kirishima Division was not a big problem. Such adjustments also take time.
Seven days later, the fifty ships heading home really left.
Luo Bai suddenly felt empty inside.
I will go back next year. Luo Bai, who has fought in big battles, is not satisfied with this small island. There are more opportunities for conquest on the vast continent.
Ma Yue prayed constantly in the sea. Perhaps there really was a God in this primitive society? Such a large and crowded fleet actually returned safely to Stone City.
This sea never stirs up any waves? Is this still the sea?
Of course, it’s only three days by sea, which doesn’t seem far.
The return of the charlatan brought cheers to the Hai tribe. Winter was over, and spring plowing had begun here.
The Second Priest kept reporting the situation to Ma Yue. Overall, there wasn't much going on. It was likely that the battle with the White Mist Tribe had intimidated a group of scoundrels.
Wu Qi led the caravan back and forth to Sun City smoothly. In addition, the number of wildebeests in the Sea Tribe increased due to the exchange from the Cowhide Tribe in winter.
Fortunately, we arrived at this time. Residents who are used to the warm environment of Kirishima may not be able to adapt to the sudden winter.
Working is the best mode of integration.
The Stone City cannot accommodate so many people, but it doesn’t matter. Just continue to expand towards the grassland. It would also be nice to build a small village within a certain distance. As long as there is a wooden wall and simple defense, it will be fine.
As long as the main stone city is strong enough, who would dare to attack the village of the Sea Tribe?
No one understands what the word "village" means, so they just take Ma Yue's word for it. I guess it means something like dividing the tribe.
Ma Yue appointed two village chiefs and deputy village chiefs with a sense of humor. Two huge villages were gradually established. Each village had about 500 people, which was not small.
Of course, the residents have to live together. Only when the people of the new and old sea tribes mix together can they further integrate, right?
There are many rivers on the prairie. If we find a river with no dry season, we should build our village near it. Otherwise, where would we get water? The so-called two villages are simply on both sides of the river. The two villages are close together, so they can support each other. They are about the same distance from the headquarters and the second branch of the prairie.
Very good! Ma Yue is very satisfied with the location of the two villages.
The number of wildebeests in the Sea Tribe is currently insufficient, so they will focus on fishing and hunting first. Each village will also be given some sheep and rabbits to raise first. The temporary model is similar to that of the second grassland branch.
When there are more wildebeests in the future, we will develop the planting industry as soon as possible.
What about the others? Headquarters replenished some, and the rest were sent to Grassland Division 2 and Jungle Division 1 to increase their populations.
The most important thing for the two villages is to build wooden walls and wooden cabins first. This is for defense purposes. In the future, when they winter, won’t they freeze to death without wooden cabins?
Even if fur clothing is not enough for the time being, the campfire in the big cabin can last through the winter, right?
Hebei Village's head is Yizi, and its deputy is He; Henan Village's head is Lan, and its deputy is Tiedan. With leadership and organization, does work flow smoothly?
The children of the Hai tribe back then have grown up and it’s time for them to take on leadership responsibilities, so let Ma Yue worry as little as possible.
It's just spring plowing, so it's too late to plant corn. We have to try it out first, so we can plant ten acres of corn first. Of course, this matter is the High Priest's responsibility.
The Hai Tribe's corn cultivation wasn't as extensive as the Baiwu Tribe's. At least they plowed the land before planting, had plenty of livestock manure, and a guaranteed supply of fertilizer. Ma Yue believed that this way, they could at least harvest more corn, right?
