"hungry."
Lu Yu stretched out a finger.
He said a question, and then summed it up in one word.
It is correct.
The warchief was stunned for a while, and then said with a bitter face, "It's really... this question. If they are all fed, how can they fight for any territory? Obviously there is already a lot of people. If they are all full, What hunting talents do you use to snatch? Even the wars that extend from these are not important. Hey... I know, some tribes are clamoring for war all day long. In fact, there are too many young adults and not enough food. Eat... That is to send them to death on the battlefield."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "You can see this clearly, so the future of the barbarians is actually such a thing."
He pointed to the small cloth bag in the hands of the warchief and said, "This is the answer, and it is the only answer I can think of so far. Your barbarians can do it."
"This is?!"
The great chief shook his hand again, and almost removed the small cloth bag again.
"What the hell is this?"
Lu Yu laughed and said, "Someone used to call it Sweet Potato and also called Sweet Potato, but I always find it not very nice."
"White... sweet potato?"
The warchief frowned and looked into the bag, then muttered: "It's also... It's not white..."
In a word, Lu Yu almost laughed.
Sweet potato, also known as sweet potato.
The word'Fan' is very important. In the previous life, this thing was not originally produced in the heavenly land, but was'imported' from abroad. That's why the word'Fan' was used to directly refer to'Fanbang'.
It is too common and people are too familiar, so people have already ignored its greatness.
Yes, it is great.
It is the most important crop in the world, and it is also the crop that has the greatest impact on the celestial dynasty.
Adapt to the environment, high output, easy to take care of... and other attributes combined, let it bring a miracle to the heaven and earth.
In fact, before there were sweet potatoes, there were only two to three billion people living on the huge heavenly land, which was a far cry from Lu Yu's era of hundreds of billions of people.
As for the reason, the root cause is that there is not enough food. All the land is planted with food, and there is only enough food for so many people. With a little more population, there is not enough food.
So whenever society is stable for a period of time, there will inevitably be wars on this land, and wars that will kill many people.
why? Because with stability, the population will grow rapidly. When the food in the whole world can't satisfy the leisurely people in the whole world... Some people are hungry, and when they are hungry, they must fight. What a simple truth.
All the reasons are secondary reasons, and the main reason is the inability of food to feed people.
And sweet potatoes are here.
The population capacity of the Heavenly Dynasty has reached five to six billion, or even six to seven billion, in just a few decades!
It is such an amazing crop.
In the face of the barbarians today, this sweet potato is even more...'magical'.
The barbarians don't know how to cultivate, and even if they have it, it's an excellent field. If they are treated carelessly, the output is not very high. It is difficult to feed themselves, let alone selling.
Secondly, the land of the barbarians is really unsuitable for farming, the cloudy and sunny forest, and the endless Gobi.
But the barbaric land has one advantage, that is, there is no desert, the kind of desert that can eat people.
And besides that kind of desert... Sweet potatoes can grow!
Most importantly, the barbarian regions did not experience much temperature changes.
If this were placed in the world of Lu Yu's previous life, this place would definitely be considered a treasure! Unfortunately, the world is too backward. As Lu Yu once said, the advanced cultivation level will lead to the backwardness of science and technology, because...I really don't need it.
As for this'sweet potato', it is actually not the sweet potato that Lu Yu knew in his previous life. There are still some differences, but it is a'good' difference.
Its taste is between sweet potato and taro, and the meat is slightly sticky and thick. The ability to adapt to the environment is much higher, as if everything in this world must be stronger, even ordinary crops are more'combating'.
The original sweet potato has a short growth cycle, which is why it is a “super crop”. In previous lives, most people chose to take a wave of sweet potatoes before planting the main crop, and wait until it has a harvest before planting others. , It's a race against time, and it can really be squeezed out.
Two or three months, from sowing to harvest, it only takes so long, and it can also stagger the most suitable growth periods for other crops.
It's so magical.
The so-called "sweet potato" here only takes one and a half months to grow!
For more than forty days, Lu Yu personally verified sowing and harvesting.
To be honest, when I saw it for the first time, ate it, and then tried to cultivate it, Lu Yu himself was shocked when it was harvested.
This thing can completely become his huge hole card, a gold medal, can change many things at the most critical moment, and even save his life.
But... It's also a pity that this hole card can only be used once.
As long as it is planted and sold, then... No matter whether Lu Yu is in hiding or not, or teaches other people how to cultivate it, others can always find a way to cultivate it by themselves, or through various experiments, or... it's just that bad luck. The ghost lost it and threw it in the ground, and then two months later found that there was a crop there and pulled out a lot of sweet potatoes...
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, people can always learn its farming methods by themselves.
So this is something that cannot be monopolized. It can only earn a pot of gold at the very beginning.
Therefore, Lu Yu has been hesitating about how much the first pot of gold will be collected.
Now... but there is no need to think about it anymore. After all, you have given a promise to the barbarian, so just take it out, and Lu Yu won't regret anything carefully.
"This thing," Lu Yu walked over, stood in front of the warchief, and said softly: "It needs to be cut into pieces first, then buried in the soil, three points into the soil, not deep or shallow, pressing the soil three stones, not heavy and not light. In the three scoops of water, there should be no slight error. Each plant is three feet before and after, see the earth circle. After only waiting for ten days, we must remove the weeds and loosen the soil, and then for another ten days, water daily with the right amount. In another ten days, the insect repellent cleans up, there can be no slack, wait another ten days, burn the incense to pay homage, the last ten days, uproot it, then... I promise you will laugh from ear to ear, and you will understand why I want to say that they are the future of your barbarians."
The warchief listened carefully, memorized it carefully, then raised his head and asked a little entangledly: "Is this... still called sweet potato? The name is a bit..."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party was most interested in such a name, but after thinking about it, he was a little relieved. It seemed that the previous ceremony had already made the warchief understand something.
Lu Yu thought carefully for a while, then turned his head to look at the black bird proudly roosting in the distance, and said with a smile, "It's called Phoenix Grass."
