Apocalyptic Dark Age

"Yun, you have been cultivating fields during this time. I rarely ask about you because of other things. Do you have any needs or difficulties that you want to tell me?"

Gao Feng wanted to calm down the embarrassment caused by Xian Zhao, so he brought up the topic that Yun was most concerned about. It seemed that he had been waiting for Gao Feng to ask, and Yun suddenly revealed a lot of difficulties.

"I don't understand all the crops. There are no systematic planting methods and information. The amount of phosphate rock shipped from the east is too small. In addition, eating nutritional pills will not produce feces, which makes it difficult to collect fertilizers. There are also too many livestock populations. There are too few and it is difficult to develop sustainably. In addition, there are also big problems in growing vegetables. The general categories of wild vegetables are too complex and have different tastes. It is impossible to select the most valuable ones for cultivation. There is also no standardized management method for underground crops, and wild crops are predatory. collection……."

Yun Lingling always said a lot, which made Gao Feng's head grow bigger. In short, the agriculture in the western wilderness is disordered and without any order. Food cannot be recovered by planting and watering. The climate must be considered. , environment, seasons, habits, irrigation, fertilizers, maintenance, and a series of other issues.

The land around Stone City was reclaimed after winter, and the main crops planted were Nanhuang wheat and a small amount of real rice. These are not local crops. If you are not careful, you will lose your harvest. Although Yun has developed a set of agriculture underground system, but it is only for planting in the underground environment. It is blind when it reaches the ground. Therefore, during this period, Yun just reclaimed the land as much as possible, dug ditches, built water cellars, and hoarded fertilizers. However, these were all caused by the construction of the western region. Progress is slow.

All kinds of trivialities are not something that a guy like Gao Feng, who sets the tone and hands off, can understand. This is also the biggest problem of Stone City. There is a lack of professionals and too many projects are launched, resulting in a huge waste of manpower and a vicious circle of extreme shortage of labor. , just like this time, the population of the eastern wilderness is close to 20,000, but the labor crisis has not been alleviated, the materials consumed have been rising, and the security of the camp has also deteriorated day by day, and the tribesmen and the wilderness people are at odds with each other. , which gave Wan Yu, the manager below, a headache.

Gao Feng had been thinking about the progress of the Jasmine team and felt miserable every minute. Originally, he was just diverting his attention to avoid suffering. But after hearing what Yun said, Gao Feng immediately forgot about the team.

Yun Shuo believes that Gao Feng has more understanding of the difficulties than anyone present, including Yun who proposed these. Their importance is no less than life and death. No matter in any era, the importance of food is always the first priority. Yes, only when the food problem is solved can the population grow, society develop, and various technologies unleash maximum energy through manpower.

It can be said that the family war is caused by Jia Luo's short-sightedness. Various technologies are strictly blocked by the family, only for the family's profit. Technology will always only serve a small group of people, and there is no need to develop to satisfy the majority of people at the bottom, leading to technological stagnation. , thus triggering a resource crisis,

The utilization of resources is the development of technology, improving step by step. Just like in the previous life, gasoline was just a waste after refining kerosene from petroleum. Who would have thought that gasoline would be the blood most needed by internal combustion engines, carrying the wings of mankind's leaping development.

In his reverie, Gao Feng stood up awkwardly and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. Yun opened his mouth in surprise. Did he not expect that his complaints would cause Gao Feng to react so much? Although the food issue is very important, for now, there are millions of nutritional pills in reserve and the harvest of a new batch of Elaeagnus angustifolia in a few months is not as important as imagined, at least in Yun's view.

For Yun, planting a piece of hope and harvesting a piece of food is his greatest enjoyment after being able to look in the mirror. The joy of harvesting makes him feel that his existence in this world is not useless, and it can also downplay the feeling of being abandoned. It hurt, so he just complained, not warned.

"From today on, the Ministry of Agriculture will be officially established. Yun will take office as the Minister of Agriculture. An agricultural research center will be established to meet all your needs. Every year, no more than 30% of the total amount of supplies will be given to the Ministry of Agriculture. The initial supply will be for five years. After five years, it will depend on the situation. reduce……."

Yun opened his mouth and was stunned. Also stunned were the pole and Xian Zhao. Fang Shiyu didn't understand the meaning of 30% of the total amount of supplies because he was not at the level yet.

"This is impossible……."

The pole was the first to scream with a big mouth that was half-mouthed, and his severely out-of-tune voice was ridiculous like a little rooster just learning to crow.

"The Storm Legion only received 25% of the total resources. Didn't they already have a plan for this year? Or was it Wanyu's plan? Isn't it just farming? Do you need supplies? As long as you have a hoe, isn't it enough? "

Xian Zhao also screamed strangely and argued again and again. According to Wan Yu's plan, the share of agriculture was only 5% at most. Building stone cities, underground cities, building roads, digging canals, and maintaining the army would almost all The material quota has been divided up. With such a commotion at the peak, don't let the soldiers of the Storm Legion not even get the materials to support their families.

The Storm Legion is different from the tribal warriors. The tribal warriors have their own indentures and fields. They do not need support from the tribe. They can feed themselves and their families by themselves, and they do not need equipment and weapons from the tribe. They are passed down from generation to generation. Whenever there is a war, after victory You can get the spoils of war. If you fail, you will be unlucky if you die. Your descendants can become tribal warriors, and their fields will be passed on to their descendants. If you fail to complete the warrior assessment, you can only become a slave and lose your ancestors' property. Turn it over to the tribe.

This method of raising troops has advantages and disadvantages. The tribe does not need to provide materials to support the warriors. In order to obtain trophies and retain their own wealth, the warriors will fight bravely on the battlefield. At the same time, they will unite closely around the leader for their own interests. Just like the feudal system of the Spring and Autumn Period in Gao Feng's previous life.

The enfeoffment system will limit the power of a force. The lord has the rights of the lord, and the king has the rights of the king. Neither party can break the rules at will, so the monarch cannot ask the lord for any contribution other than war, and the lord does not have to give up what belongs to him. The interests are used to fulfill the monarch's ambition.

Centralization does not have these restrictions. The abolition of indentured servants by Gaofeng is equivalent to liberating productivity, so that indentured servants and slaves are no longer subject to surveillance and oppression, and can gain limited autonomy. They are no longer passive in completing work, but have more enthusiasm. In this way At the peak, the professional military system of the previous life must be restored, and professional soldiers in this world consume more materials than in the previous life. First, we must ensure that the soldiers' equipment and weapons are available, secondly, we must ensure that their lives will not be worse than before, and finally, we must ensure that they Women and children who can support themselves.

Although a large part of the soldiers had no families, Gao Feng had to treat them equally. After all, they all went to the battlefield to fight, so they had to pay more supplies.

Regarding this system, Peak is a mixed bag of joy and sorrow. Just maintaining the three thousand Storm Legion forces makes him overwhelmed. Stormtroopers are not just about filling their stomachs. A family needs Peak supply for everything, although the wilderness people do not need it. There are many, but even if one person has one sock, it is still 1,500 pairs.

Xian Zhao's shouting did not make Gao Feng change his attention. On the contrary, he became more sure of his thoughts. Yun also returned his stiff mandible to its original position and said no more, but his eyes were bright and bright. For a man, there is nothing better than Support his dream and identify with it more.

At this time, Fang Shiyu whispered from the side:

"The convoy has entered the detonator, will it detonate?"

Everyone's attention returned to the surveillance camera. The convoy drove forward in ignorance, life and death only in the moment of peak.
