Jiang Lin was taken by Emperor Yan to an uninhabited plain.
The Shennong tribe's territory is extremely large, but its population is very small compared to the territory.
In addition, in this era, everyone can become a warrior, and many brave and skilled warriors in the tribe have to go to various places to guard the safety of the tribe, so the vacant area is very large.
The people of the Shennong tribe were accustomed to the protection of Emperor Yan. Their land was very productive, and often one family was responsible for their own land, and it was enough for the family to have enough food.
They spent more time going out hunting and honing their martial arts skills.
Jiang Lin is not saying that this is a bad thing, but this self-sufficient model does have a low ability to resist risks.
Their high yields were based on the blessing of the god of agriculture, and no one thought that this blessing would disappear.
But Jiang Lin is different.
Not to mention that he knew that Emperor Yan would fall into a deep sleep later in the plot. Even if he didn't know this, he wouldn't be as optimistic as the people of Shennong tribe.
In modern times, Jiang Lin, who grew up with the value of "it is better to rely on yourself than on others", would rather keep all hopes and retreats in his own hands.
Nothing is forever lost and betrayed, except what you have already grasped.
Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Jiang, try it yourself first."
Jiang Lin:
He was a little surprised: "What do you mean by try? You haven't taught me how to use my divine power yet."
Yan Di's reaction was even more surprised than his. He said with a stern face, "I was too lenient with you in the past, and you didn't even understand this simplest truth. You never need others to teach you how to use divine power. You have the blood of the God of Agriculture, and the power of the God of Agriculture is naturally in your body. Jiang, close your eyes now and feel it carefully. Follow your intuition."
He followed Jiang Lin simply to see what his youngest son's talent was.
Jiang Lin asked, "Is this how you let all gods roam free?"
However, he remembered the feeling he had when he first arrived, and he roughly understood what Yan Di meant.
He closed his eyes and felt the familiar power in his body again. This must be the power of the god of agriculture.
In Emperor Yan's eyes, with his youngest son as the center, a warm, light blue divine power emanated from him and spread to distant places.
It was as if the wind was blowing, and all the plants felt the call of God, moving slightly and giving a faint response.
A hint of relief flashed in his eyes: As expected, Jiang did not let him down.
In Jiang Lin's eyes, his consciousness followed the spread of this divine power and looked towards the far place of Shennong tribe.
The golden rice ears full of fruits were heavy and swayed gently in the wind, proudly displaying their fruits; the late-ripening lantern fruit hung on the treetops, shyly greeting its gods; outside a stone house, a freshly picked vegetable seedling was touched by divine power, and it shook violently, popped out two tender leaves, and suddenly grew a lot taller.
Jiang Lin felt it was full of novelty. This time his feelings were deeper and he could see further than before.
He suddenly heard a childish voice saying, "Great God of Agriculture, I want the orange trees I plant today to bloom and bear fruit tomorrow."
He was stunned and wanted to hear more clearly. At this moment, countless voices suddenly appeared in his ears:
"Great God of Agriculture, please grant me a good harvest."
"My little daughter wants to eat the shiny jewel grapes."
"I heard that the little prince inherited the blood of the God of Agriculture. God bless our Shennong tribe."
"… "
Countless huge amounts of information flooded into his mind in an instant. Even Jiang Lin, who had practiced the Nine Spirit Technique and experienced the soul of several worlds, suffered a considerable shock.
His expression turned pale in an instant.
The next moment, a gentle yet heavy force enveloped him, blocking out those sounds.
Jiang Lin opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Yan with lingering fear.
There was worry and admiration in Emperor Yan's eyes: "You have actually come into contact with faith, Jiang, you are better than I thought."
Belief
Before Jiang Lin could ask, Emperor Yan frowned again: "With your current strength, it's best not to touch the realm of faith easily. You can't bear this power."
Emperor Yan knew that Jiang Lin must have many doubts in his mind. He put his hand on Jiang Lin's forehead, and a huge amount of information flowed into his mind.
Jiang Lin thought to himself that this method was really convenient and much better than oral narration.
He was worried that the existence of the emerald space and the system in his sea of consciousness would be discovered, but Emperor Yan's hand touched him and left immediately, with no intention of spying on him at all.
Seeing that his son had received the information he had conveyed, Emperor Yan said casually: "Okay, take a good look at it first, and then try it yourself after you understand it. I am going to Yuqing Mountain to find your mother. If there is anything you don't understand... Call me again in a hundred years."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Jiang Lin: “…”
Fortunately, he had been a monster in previous worlds and had experienced being in seclusion for decades.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to get used to the family relationship that has been separated for hundreds of years.
For the people in ancient times, fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.
If we say that fifty years ago, in the hearts of the people of Shennong tribe, the little prince Jiang was just a delicate and pretty little prince, and there was nothing outstanding about him.
Then fifty years later, everyone's perception of him has completely changed.
During these fifty years, Jiang Lin, who had "awakened the bloodline of the God of Agriculture," had traveled almost all over the Shennong tribe.
He perfectly inherited the legacy of Emperor Yan and loved planting very much.
In recent years, I have discovered two new foods, sweet potatoes and corn, which can be used as staple foods to fill my stomach.
Moreover, these two foods do not require high soil and climate, and are very easy to grow. They have a sweet taste and are very popular among the tribal people.
In addition, he also found edible mushrooms, vegetables and fruits, among which lychees, which are juicy, sweet and delicious, are the most popular.
Jiang Lin not only discovered many new and delicious crops, but also changed the farming model of the Shennong tribe.
In the past, everyone in the tribe produced their own food, and most of the people who farmed were elderly people and children who were not strong enough to fight, and warriors who could no longer fight due to injuries or illnesses.
However, the ancient times were the ancient times after all. Even a white-haired old woman could easily lift a stone pestle weighing more than 100 kilograms and smash to death a pig that accidentally wandered to her doorstep.
A child whose waist is as high as an adult's can have arms that can hold hundreds of pounds of strength.
Usually a family has only about ten people, and the main food, apart from rice and wheat, is game hunted outside.
In other words, their labor force is not fully developed as it should be, as they are only growing food for a few people.
Outside each gathering place, there is a lot of fertile and prime land that is vacant.
Jiang Lin traveled to many places and found that this was the general situation. He touched his heart and felt the pain.
Such good labor, such good land, such good conditions.
They are actually! In ruins!
Especially in connection with the original plot, what happened after Yan Emperor fell asleep.
Without the blessing of the god of agriculture, their land is no longer as fertile and crop yields are not as high, but that does not mean the land is no longer useful.
The Shennong tribe occupied the most extensive and humid plain in the southern part of the continent. Without the protection of the god of agriculture, they simply lost their halo and returned to the output of crops themselves.
The Shennong tribe had the climate and land that the Tusu tribe had always dreamed of, but because of Emperor Yan's slumber, they could not even grow enough food and instead fell into civil strife.
It can be said that this is mostly their own fault.
Or perhaps it was because Emperor Yan was too gentle, causing his people to become overly dependent on him.
Jiang Lin didn't intend to spoil them.
Anyway, Yan Di told him when he left that he should make his own decisions on ordinary matters.
Jiang Lin did not act arrogantly at first. He found a few small clans gathered in the core area of the tribe and had a brief chat with the clan leaders in charge of the area.
The closer to the core of the tribe, the more people lived there were Yandi's confidants. They obeyed Jiang Lin's orders almost unconditionally.
Jiang Lin said that the idle people of all ages in the gathering place should be collectively responsible for large planting areas, and plant various crops according to categories. Although there was absolutely no need for the clan leaders to do so, farming did not take much time anyway, and this was the first time the little prince asked them for a request, so they agreed.
Jiang Lin selected two places for pilot projects.
In every tribe, those people are still responsible for planting. Whether it is fertilizing, watering or killing insects, it is not a difficult task for the ancient people who are born with supernatural powers, and they do not feel particularly tired.
Moreover, Jiang Lin divided the population into groups, with each person doing tasks that had been assigned in advance, with each person responsible for a part, and efficiency was greatly improved.
Half a year later, the Shennong tribe ushered in its first harvest season.
When the two ethnic groups finished harvesting and counting their fruits, they were shocked to find that with the same number of people, they were responsible for reclaiming ten times more land than before, but the harvest was nearly twenty times more!
The most important thing is that when Jiang Lin asked the elderly and children in charge of farming in the two tribes, he all got the same answer: they didn’t feel tired, and they were not much more tired than before.
This put Jiang Lin at ease: the Shennong tribe did not need to struggle for a living. Although he liked farming, it was out of joy. There was no need to exploit these old people and children too completely.
As soon as the news of the two pilot projects came out, everyone was shocked and their enthusiasm was ignited: who would complain about having too much of such a good thing as food
Taking advantage of this popularity, Jiang Lin began to call on all small ethnic groups to reclaim unowned and idle lands, divide the areas reasonably, and make the best use of these lands to obtain the most cost-effective returns.
However, in just three short years, great changes have taken place in the territory of the Shennong tribe.
Jiang Lin stood again in the place where he stood when he first came to this world.
This is considered a very marginal area of the Shennong tribe, with not many ethnic groups gathered here. In the past, it was large tracts of empty and idle land.
But now it is different. The empty fields in the distance have been covered with lush green seedlings. The large uneven hillside on the far left has even been fenced off and raised with lambs with white curly hair like clouds.
Jiang Lin looked at these fields, not only was he very happy in his heart, but he also felt extremely satisfied physically - the more crops the Shennong tribe had and the better they grew, the more divine power would flow to him on this continent.
Although the little prince Jiang is still a 1.8-meter-tall "little cutie", his strength is much stronger than when he first arrived.
