Chapter 1018 Food Crisis

They have never met someone who is so kind to them. This food is the lifeblood of their entire islanders and their life-saving food, so they cannot be too grateful.

The villagers also spontaneously followed the village chief and kowtowed to them, as if they were enshrining them, thinking that they were the angels from heaven who came to save them.

After all the grain was opened and stored in warehouses, he also asked the children to redistribute the land here and distribute it all to the villagers.

From now on these lands will belong to them.

However, in the future, they will have to pay half of the grain they grow as taxes. Don't look at the extremely high tax of this half. In the eyes of the villagers, this tax is simply extremely conscientious.

Because this island has a tropical climate, rice and other crops grown here can be harvested three times a year. Each of them can harvest a lot as long as they plant a few acres of land.

What's more, this high-yielding rice can be harvested several times a year. If they can get half of it, it can feed them for several years.

In the past, the reason why they didn't have enough to eat or wear was because they had to hand over 95% of the harvest.

This yielded 95% of the harvest and was given to the island owner family. That’s why they caused such a result. In a place where crops are harvested three times a year, they can’t even afford a full meal. This means that the island owner family is How oppressing them.

So after these villagers heard that they would only pay half of the future taxes, they wanted to kneel down and kowtow, not wanting to get up anymore, because this tax rate simply saved them all.

Because the previous island owner family had already begun to implement the previous policy, which was to increase taxes and prices, raising the previous taxes higher.

They wanted to use this tax to consume part of the population, so now they have been hungry for a long time, and some have not even eaten for a long time, just to save some food and keep it for the winter.

Some even starved to death, and they were all skinny from hunger. Now they have all been allocated food, and now they can cultivate the land they had before. In the future, these lands will become theirs, and they will only have to pay half of the tax.

For them, this is unprecedentedly good.

Jiang Li didn't care about the gratitude of the villagers.

Because when he saw these small islands and thought that the food on them could be harvested three times a year, he couldn't help but think of the original world.

Because in the original world, cultivated land was actually relatively tight, because many wilderness areas, that is, the wilderness, were occupied by elves and basically could not be used as cultivated land.

Therefore, the land that the entire Chinese Alliance can actually cultivate is concentrated in those few areas. Basically, it is those few fertile lands that support the people of the entire Chinese Alliance.

Although the technology is now very sufficient, the rice seeds are also very well selected, and they are all high-yielding rice. In addition, there are some help from grass elves, so the yield per mu is very high, which is much higher than before when he traveled through time. In the previous world, the rice yield was even higher because of the help of elves.

In particular, some powerful grass-type elves can greatly increase the output of the land.

But even so, there is still a problem, because the resources of the land are not permanently fertile. After the high-yielding rice seeds are planted, the land will begin to lose fertility.

Especially the black soil in the northern region has begun to dissipate under annual planting. The black soil that was tens of meters before has now become a little thinner.

All these signs can show that if planting is carried out in those high-yield areas for a long time, one day there will be a situation where the land cannot be planted. Although this will take a long time, such problems will still occur, so those in the alliance Many scholars are doing research.

Some are studying chemical fertilizers and the like. Although there are elves in the world, things like chemical fertilizers have been around since ancient times. However, the ancient ones were farmyard fertilizers, while the modern ones are industrial synthetic fertilizers.

There are also some scholars who are studying how to use elves to improve land utilization and how to use the power of elves to protect the resources of this land, because some powerful elves, especially some powerful grass-type elves, can Let the fertility of a piece of land be maintained forever.

Especially those powerful god-level grass-type elves, such as the grass-type fantasy beast Xie Mi, the grass-type fantasy beast Xie Mi who signed a contract with Ji Ling.

This elf's current strength is not that of the grass-type true god, but with champion-level strength, he can also make the resources of a land fertile.

But it is also difficult to do this. First of all, there are not many powerful grass-type elves, and they are all in the hands of some powerful trainers. They have to follow their trainers to guard one side. How can they have so much time? to maintain those lands.

Moreover, the elves of real mythical beasts are hard to come by. If they are favored by such elves, if they are allowed to continue to fertilize the land, even if they have friendship, they will eventually break up.

Therefore, this method will eventually come to nothing, because the loss of land fertility will be a matter of the near future.

Because there is no obvious expression, people of this generation want to pay attention to it, but in fact they cannot.

In fact, there are some secret realms where cultivation can also be done, and products such as food can indeed be grown in some secret realms.

However, the secret conditions required to grow food and other products are not ordinary, because not every secret realm is suitable for growing these food crops. Some secret realms have no sun or even land, so of course they cannot be planted. .

For example, the previous deep-sea secret realm contained marine resources on the seabed, so crops such as food could not be grown there.

And even if there is a place where it can be grown, growing food is actually quite uneconomical, because the land resources in this secret realm are likely to produce some resources suitable for elves.

If you directly plant food and the like, it would actually be very wasteful. The space in the secret realm is different from other places. It is easier to produce resources suitable for elves to use in the secret realm.

If all these places were replaced by two production areas, it would definitely be very uneconomical.

So over time, the issue of the Secret Realm Grain Farming Society also disappeared.
