Chapter 257 This is the base!

"Since there are so many plants and fruit trees in this forest, why don't I sow seeds on a large scale?"

This was inspired by sugar cane. Along the way, we often see some unknown fruit trees. In this tropical climate environment, they grow very rapidly. Maybe they can be harvested in just one year.

And unlike wheat, wheat needs to be harvested and sown every year, but a fruit tree needs to be planted for one year and harvested for countless years. It would be a shame for the people not to do such a cost-effective business.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang's eyes lit up.

It is not uncommon for people to use fruits as their main food. Even in modern Africa, some remote tribes still rely on fruits for food.

The baobab tree is one of them.

Should I follow suit? Open up this fertile forest into a large orchard?

He gathered everyone, discussed it in detail with Xiaohong and others, and asked them what they thought.

Xiao Hong pointed out: "It's good to plant fruit trees. The fruits are tasty and delicious. They don't need to be cooked over flames. They are better than wheat."

Others also nodded. They originally lived a safari life and preferred eating meat and fruits to wheat.

Wang Yang touched his chin and felt that it made sense. This matter should be settled thoroughly.

But you still have to consider the details, and you can’t ignore wheat just because the fruit is delicious.

Indeed, among everyone's suggestions, Xiaohong said that all the dozens of people who grow wheat should come to the forest. Instead of continuing to cultivate wheat fields, they should all come to the forest to open orchards and plant fruit trees.

They followed their own preferences and somewhat neglected the wheat.

Wang Yang continued to discuss this detail with Xiaohong and others.

The work of opening an orchard is much slower than opening a wheat field. After all, digging trees is compared with pulling weeds. The amount of work is not the same.

Secondly, the fruits have been harvested. Preservation is very troublesome. If they cannot bear fruit all year round, there will definitely be a blank period.

This blank period can be replaced by hunting. Anyway, the food sources in the forest are relatively abundant, so it is basically not too difficult to catch some animals.

It seems that even if dozens of people who grow wheat are transferred here, it is not impossible.

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind flashed like an electric current. The opening of the orchard is certain. Once it comes, the food and nutrition will be rich, and everyone's physical fitness and development will definitely be better.

Secondly, I am also afraid that wheat will develop some disease or encounter a natural disaster, which will lead to a bad year. With more food choices, I can calmly deal with emergencies.

On the other hand, if the fruit trees also suffer from diseases? Can they rely on wheat to survive?

Wang Yang's eyes lit up. Yes, wheat must continue to be planted, because it can be stored for a long time and can be used as stored food. Fruits must also be planted. Having more choices will give you a better chance of saving your life.

"Just relying on hunting will never last!" Wang Yang knew very well that as the number of people in the tribe increased and the demand increased, he would not be able to last long just by killing animals in the forest.

On the contrary, large-scale hunting will destroy the ecosystem, lead to environmental degradation, and harm others and ourselves.

Therefore, the development of farming and gardening is an inevitable choice. With these two supports, animal husbandry will definitely develop rapidly.

After thinking about it, Wang Yang smiled and felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn't this what he did in the canyon?

However, the situation at this time was very different from that at that time. At that time, they still relied mainly on hunting. In other words, their foundation was not strong and they depended on the weather.

The current foundation is completely built on farming at the bottom, then gardening, and then animal husbandry, step by step, as stable as a rock.

When the most basic food and clothing are fixed, are you afraid that you won’t have time to develop other things?

In the past, Wang Yang only developed agriculture and took the first step, and the second and third steps were in chaos. Now that he has completely figured out the main line and goal of development, his mind is suddenly very open.

But at the same time, more thoughts rushed into Wang Yang's head.

Since there is a group of people to watch over Wheat, and a group of people to watch over here, does that mean that we need to carefully plan the priorities and the development of the base?

The grassland is divided into a wheat base and this area is an orchard base. Which one is more important?

This place is the base of the orchard and also the base for charcoal processing, so it is naturally extremely important.

The wheat side is the base of agriculture, and it also has kilns, which is also very important.

It seems that both sides are similar, and each has its own merits, but books are dead and people are alive. It is good to have a kiln over there, but who says that a kiln cannot be built here?

Not only must we build! We must also build a big kiln!

Wang Yang immediately told everyone that he would regard this forest as his main base.

What he said was in line with Xiaohong's thoughts. Xiaohong was very happy and shouted loudly.

Thinking about this, Wang Yang glanced at the sugar cane in front of him. These sugar canes have not yet become a forest, with only a few dozen roots. It is estimated that in this forest full of big trees, it will be difficult to find a small piece of land that is still alive.

But it is conceivable that before long, this place will become a sea of ​​sugar cane.

The cultivation of sugar cane is definitely not the main focus of everyone.

Wang Yang silently noted the location, led everyone back to where Zhang San was, and drew up a plan for Zhang San.

"The development of the wheat side has reached its peak. Apart from diverting water into the canal and increasing the wheat yield per acre, there is nothing more that can be developed. The key is to develop this place right now." Wang Yang said solemnly.

Everyone was very supportive and would not question anything Wang Yang said.

And Zhang San was extremely happy. He originally liked living in the forest. He could see friendly wood every day and make tools when his hands were itchy. It was really pleasant.

The happiest person is none other than him.

Everyone was laughing and laughing, thinking about growing delicious fruits.

Seeing them smiling happily and discussing excitedly, Wang Yang was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that everyone liked living in the forest so much. It seemed that it wasn't that the fruits were delicious, but that the wheat was too unpalatable.

He doesn't care, for him, he can live anywhere, but it has developed to this point, and he needs to be in the forest.

The next day, Wang Yang began to instruct the three people transporting charcoal to tell the wheat farmers their plans.

After all, he didn't listen to Xiao Hong's suggestion and called the expellers here. After all, the wheat harvest was equally important. At least until next year, everyone would mainly eat wheat.

Moreover, the forest is much more dangerous than the grassland. Venomous snakes and beasts are everywhere. Until a piece of pure land is developed, those children must not be allowed to move here.
