v1 Chapter 918: Cassava on the seashore, Schlott's arran

The latest website: "Chihuaco, are you sure that this cassava can reach a yield of more than 500 catties per mu after half a year of planting?!"

"Uh...Your Majesty...it's not half a year, it's not a crop, it's...a small tree! You have to let it grow for about ten months before the small tree takes shape before it can grow a full rhizome! Then, you look at its bright roots It's thick, hard, and white after being cut...then it will grow well! When you want to eat, just dig it out, dig it out and eat it...you can't put it away! It will rot after a few days..."

The tropical seaside in November is still warm and hot. The temperature is around 20 degrees, and it rains six or seven days a month. It is between the tropical rainforest climate and the tropical monsoon climate. It is a very pleasant season.

And on the lush coastal plain, the ancient Jinwan City stands quietly, no more **** fires and fights. The city-state is full of warriors patrolling with spears, priests traveling back and forth, and craftsmen making equipment. The trajectories of their actions are all centered on the main temple in the city. In the temple, behind the newly created statue of the main god, you can still vaguely see the remaining frescoes of the Feathered Serpent, which have not yet been completely covered by the murals of the main god.

Outside the ancient city-state, there are patches of well-cultivated farmland. The corn stalks piled up into hillocks and the pumpkin vines that have not been cut off are all traces of the October harvest. And in a village where the people are in the village, the commanders of the kingdom's field battalion and the Totonac's field assistants cooperated with each other to preside over the cultivation of the field. They waved wooden sticks and blew bone whistles, urging tens of thousands of Totonak tribesmen to continue planting a season of beans in the harvested farmland.

Inside and outside the city, this vibrant scene symbolizes that the Totonak tribes around Jinwan City have come out of the two-year war. Right now, with Jinwan City as the center, the four hundred miles of conquered seaside lands have been reintegrated under the banner of the kingdom, shaping the prototype of a seaside tribal alliance. And the person in charge of the entire Seaside Alliance is in the city lord's mansion, which used to be a palace of divine descendants in Jinwan City.

At this moment, Shulot is in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Wearing short clothes and shorts that are convenient for working, he squatted in the newly cultivated cassava field in the backyard. Beside him, was the old militiaman Chihuaco who was also squatting on the edge of the field, all in bunt.

"Your Majesty! The five hundred catties are estimated by the tomato priest, that is, one mu of cassava is equivalent to three or four mu of flat fields. In fact, the Taino people have never harvested cassava at one time... Or the same sentence, It can’t be left alone! It will go bad after a few days after harvesting, so I let it grow in the field, dig it and eat it. It can grow for many years, as long as you don’t dig up all its roots, it can keep growing!  …”

The old militiaman Chihuaco pointed at the cassava, with a smile on his face, and his saliva flew all over Shulot's face. Shulot didn't care. He just focused his attention on the stubby cassava stalks sticking straight into the mound and the new shoots, and his heart was full of excitement and joy.

"Lord God bless! I didn't expect that in this era, the yield of cassava is already so high! And the entire Kingdom of the Lake and the territories of the Mexica Union can grow this high-yield crop, allowing millions of rural The people are full!...Ha ha! Praise the Lord God!..."

Shulot's eyes were bright, he thought for a moment, and asked again.

"Chivaco, I remember you saying that the skin of cassava is poisonous, and you have to soak it in water to remove the poison before you can eat it?"

"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, I've said it once, I didn't expect you to remember it, but you are a good farmer...uh!..."

The old militiaman Chivaco paused, his eyes flashed, and he quickly turned around.

"Oh! The skin of cassava is poisonous, and there are some in the stalks, so you can't eat it directly. People, birds, beasts, and insects will die if you eat it directly... So this thing is good! Don't be afraid of insects, animals, etc. Harmful, because insects, birds and beasts dare not eat it..."

"...So, after digging out the mature cassava roots, you need to peel them first, and then cut them into pieces. Then throw the cut pieces into the water, and soak them overnight! Then, you need to use boiled cassava. The pieces are boiled and soft...it’s okay to eat again! It’s fragrant, glutinous, tsk tsk!...It’s still full after eating, much better than pumpkin and beans!…”

The old militiaman licked his dry lips, his eyes full of unpretentious yearning. And Shulot squatted beside him, his face also showing longing. The two of them squatted side by side like this, thinking together for a while, until a bright figure walked over with two water jugs in hand.

"Your Highness, the sun is very strong, drink some water!"

Snake girl Miawa smiled and bowed her head to salute the king. She was wearing a loose white robe, but it still couldn't hide the obvious bulge on her lower abdomen. And looking at her gentle smile at this moment, the brilliance of motherhood revealed, it seems like she has changed into a different person.

"Huh? Miyawa, why are you here? Didn't I let you rest in peace in the palace?"

Shulot frowned, his expression became severe. Calculating the time, Miawa was five months pregnant. However, she has practiced dancing and martial arts since she was a child, her body is extremely flexible and healthy, and she has not had any serious pregnancy reactions. And relying on her love during pregnancy, she always clings to Shulot's side, teasing her vaguely from time to time, and even sneaking up and nibbling like a snake, which makes Shulot quite a headache and a little helpless.

"Well! Your Highness, I have already rested. I see that you value this field so much, maybe I can be of some help..."

Snake girl Miawa slightly parted her red lips, then blinked her eyes again. She handed the king the jug of water, and then, with a smile on her face, she handed one to Chivaco. The old militiaman shivered, caught the clay pot, took a sip, and didn't dare to drink any more.

"Lord God! This blind... the water he drinks is sweet!..."

"Forget it! Since you are here, let's listen to it too! This field is planted with Cuban cassava, and the entire Totonac seashore is the most suitable place for it to grow. And this acre of cassava can feed People, equivalent to three or four acres of farmland, do not need too complicated field care..."

Speaking of this, Shulot pondered for a while, and solemnly ordered Miawa.

"Witness of the Lord God! Miawa~lightnovelpub.net~ In the next few years, your most important task is to plant cassava, promote cassava, and expand the area of ​​cassava planting! This matter is very important, even more important than conquering the mainland All ministries of Lu are important! I will give it to you, and you must do it well... Do you understand?..."

"Uh?...His Royal Highness...you want me to...farm?..."

The snake girl Miawa stood there for a moment, her watery eyes showed a little bit of grievance, and there were even tears. But Shulot knew that she was pretending, so he pinched the woman's cheek hard, and ordered solemnly in the woman's charming eyes.

"Miyawa, food is the foundation of all ministries, and it is also the basis for the Seaside Alliance to win people's hearts, establish standing and semi-standby legions, and go around to conquer and expand! Before I leave the seaside, I will personally hand over this power to you. It's like the deacon that was handed over to you!"

"And after I leave, you will be one of the three giants of the Seaside Alliance, in charge of civil affairs. Don't think about the warrior legion, and don't think about the priest order! Your power belongs only to the tribal militia! In fact, this This power is much greater than you imagined, do you understand?!"
