Chapter 710 Chi You's Political Achievements
After realizing that he could not produce high-yield varieties in a short period of time, he decided to further increase the output of the grain passed down by Shennong!
In order to find inspiration, in addition to cultivating the experimental fields under his own name, Chi You also specially went to tour various places in his territory!
Finally, when passing by a place, it was discovered that the number of birds in this place was more than in other places. In order to prevent the birds from stealing crops, the local residents specially made scarecrows to drive away the birds!
In addition to this scarecrow, Chi You also discovered that although there were many birds in this place, the harvest was a little more than other places, especially in those places where birds often went, the crops grew more vigorously!
After Chi You's on-site inspection, he discovered that although birds always stole crops, due to their special body structure, they left a lot of feces in the places where they often stole crops. In the end, under the influence of these feces, even if some food was eaten in places where birds often went, the grain output actually increased instead of decreased!
After finding out the truth of the matter, Chi You used witchcraft to raise a group of birds in order to verify his guess. In addition, Chi You also sent people to collect livestock and human feces from his tribe for experiments!
After nine years of continuous attempts, Chi You invented composting, a method of efficiently utilizing feces. Finally, with the help of fertilizer, grain production was further improved!
As for the matter of breeding improved varieties, Chi You had no idea until Hou Tu Niangniang occasionally learned about Qingqiu's method of breeding new varieties from the plant spirits who took care of the flowers and plants in Qingqiu's medicinal garden.
After some inquiries, Hou Tu realized that Qingqiu actually had a series of knowledge about planting, such as cuttings and grafting. Finally, after consulting Bai Zhen, Hou Tu got the knowledge she wanted from the "Heavenly Fox Heart Sutra"!
Hou Tu did not hold back either. She first used her own realm to supplement the relevant knowledge. Then she compiled the relevant knowledge into books and asked Jiufeng to give these books to Chi You of the human race!
When Chi You of the human race obtained this knowledge, he felt like he had found a treasure, and immediately started trying it out in his own experimental field!
Although Chi You really has no talent in farming, the food has been fed to his mouth. Even if Chi You is a fool, he should know what to do!
Finally, after trying many times according to the records in the book, Chi You successfully cultivated a new and better variety for the human race, making a great contribution to the grain harvest!
In addition, during Chi You's experiments, he also inadvertently created many new varieties that appeared for the first time in the prehistoric times, enriching the variety of food for the human race!
In addition to the bumper harvest and improved grain varieties, Chi You also used his talent for blacksmithing to create a series of kitchen utensils, making cooking easier for the human race!
Thirdly, ever since Youchao created the first house for human beings, human beings have been updating and upgrading the house according to their own wishes based on Youchao's house. By the time of Chiyou and Xuanyuan, the construction of houses had basically reached perfection. Even if Chiyou wanted to further improve the living environment, he was basically powerless!
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that a wood-attributed human wizard who was good at carpentry appeared in the Jiuli tribe. He also used his own talents to invent the so-called mortise and tenon structure, and based on the furniture and house styles passed down from Qingqiu, he updated the furniture, houses, etc.!
Fourthly, because the tribes are far apart from each other, those mortals without cultivation basically live where they are born for the rest of their lives!
Although those human tribes were named tribes, the smallest tribe was about the size of a modern city. This meant that although mortals could not go out, they could still walk within the tribe. However, the roads in the tribes today were basically man-made mud roads, and the roads would become muddy when it rained!
