Super Chief

Chapter 618: Lay a solid foundation

One of the priorities of Chora Klulu's work in the past three years has been the promotion of neighborhood committees, and now it seems that the previously anticipated goal has been reached.

"Boss, the increase in the population of our tribe has the most direct relationship with the substantial increase in our food production." Qiao La Krulu pinched his cigarette butt, and pulled out a document from the pile of information. Spread out in front of you.

"Up to now, our tribe has cultivated a total of about 800,000 hectares of farmland. The farmland is mainly concentrated in the southeast and along the banks of the big river. Of these 800,000 hectares of farmland, about 400,000 hectares of farmland are planted with corn, Main grains such as wheat. Calculated on the basis of an average yield of 200 catties per mu of land, two crops a year, one hectare of farmland can harvest 3,000 kilograms of grain a year, and 400,000 hectares of farmland can yield about 100 a year. Two hundred thousand tons of food. This amount is enough for everyone in our tribe to eat very much."

"The other 400,000 hectares of farmland is used to grow other cash crops and high-yield crops. For example, our tribe now uses about 150,000 hectares of farmland to grow potatoes, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes. These high-yield crops are for tribal food. Important supplement. Another 250,000 hectares of farmland is used to grow tobacco, soybeans and other cash crops."

   Ishikuma nodded.

   With the promotion of education, the metric units used by Shixiong in previous lives have also begun to be popularized among the tribes. For farmland, Shixiong is not so accustomed to using units such as acres and acres. He is more accustomed to using metric units.

   One hectare is equal to 15 acres, and 800,000 hectares is 12 million acres of land.

   This number does not seem small, but compared to the vast New World of North America, this number is still too small. After all, 12 million mu is 800,000 hectares, which is only 8,000 square kilometers. And how big is the land area controlled by the Yanhuang tribe? In the later generations, the entire United States and half of Canada will be a land of more than 12 million square kilometers.

   is a district of 8,000 square kilometers, which is less than one-thousandth of the area controlled by the Yanhuang tribe.

   But even this number is already approaching the limit of the area of ​​farmland that the tribe can cultivate. Without modern agricultural machinery, it is really not easy to cultivate such a large area of ​​farmland with manpower and cattle alone.

   In other words, the per capita cultivated area of ​​the entire Yanhuang tribe is about six mu.

   And now there is no chemical fertilizer, so the yield per mu is not high. In intensively cultivated farmland, the yield per mu of corn and wheat may reach four to five hundred catties, but most of the farmland is still in a relatively extensive farming situation. The average yield per mu of grain in one season can reach two hundred catties. Thanks to the fertile soil and water of these farmlands.

   In later lives, an adult man needs to eat about six hundred catties of staple food a year. If the two million people of the Yanhuang tribe were all adult men, they would need about 1.2 million tons of food a year.

   But after all, the number of adult men in the Yanhuang tribe now only accounts for about 40% of the entire tribe. Women, children and the elderly account for the remaining 60% of the population. Therefore, under the current cultivated area and yield per mu, the food of the Yanhuang tribe is enough to eat.

   In addition, there are also high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin lanterns that can yield more than a thousand catties per mu. Now the Yanhuang tribe can no longer worry about food. If you add meat from hunting and animal husbandry, there is no shortage of food.

   It is precisely because of enough food that the population of the tribe can get such a rapid increase.

   Food is fundamental, and this is an iron law in any age.

   And as grain production continues to increase, the population of the Yanhuang tribe will increase. In turn, the population continues to increase, and more farmland will be reclaimed to continue to increase grain production.

   This is a complementary process.

   "Boss, keeping the current status quo, I think that in another ten years or so, the population of our tribe will double." Chora Krulu said excitedly.

"Yes! The current situation is very good, and we must maintain this situation well. Joe La Cruz, you must also pay attention to this aspect when you train successors in the future. Increase food production, Increasing the number of people is the unshakable iron law of our tribe in this century!" Shi Xiong said categorically.

"Don't worry, I know how to do this." Joe Lacrulu looked very confident. "Now I have found a few good seedlings among my men. If I look back, I will focus on cultivating them, and wait for me. The old one can't do it anymore, the next chief will have someone to succeed him."

   "Haha, I can rest assured if you think so."

The two men in control of the entire Yanhuang tribe lit another cigarette. Qiao La Krulu said: "In addition to population and food, the current traffic situation of our tribe has also been significantly improved. Now from Beijing to Beijing. The highways to the western capital and southern capital have been completed, and the road to the eastern capital has now been built to the Daqingshan Industrial Base. As for the highway to the northern capital, it will take several years."

   "Well, don’t worry about this. Our tribe’s roads are not even in Europe. On the roads~lightnovelpub.net~ we are already in the forefront of the world."

   Joe Laklulu nodded with a smile. Over the years, Joura Klulu has been following Stone Bear, and he has long understood a lot of things, such as what the world looks like, and what is probably going on in Europe. So what Shixiong said, Qiao La Klulu understood.

   "Boss, there is still canal excavation work. At present, the Chicago Canal is about to be dug, but the Welland Canal is estimated to take three years."

   The length of the Chicago Canal is less than half of the Welland Canal, and there are natural rivers that can be used, so after three years of digging, it is inevitable that this canal will soon be dug through. Only the Welland Canal, which connects Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, can draw on less than one-third of the length of the entire canal, so it naturally takes more effort to dig it.

   However, once the two canals are dug through, you can take a boat from Shangjing to the Atlantic Ocean directly! At that time, the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean will be fully connected. This is absolutely of strategic significance for the development of the tribe.

   "Okay, continue to develop according to the current momentum. Don't be messy, keep your feet steady and walk steadily one step at a time."

   "Don't worry, I have always paid attention to this aspect of things. And now these tasks have special personnel to take care of them. After these tasks are completely completed, these people will all grow up."

   "Okay! Just do it! There are about six or seven years left for us now, and we must lay a solid foundation within this time!"
