It was a bumper harvest overall, with the average yield per mu increasing by 21 pounds. This result made everyone smile.
After two years of wheat cultivation, more people have realized the key status of wheat. Be more diligent and attentive to the land at home.
The original hunting life is gradually changing to farming methods, and such changes are inevitable. Hunting is too dangerous and life is precarious.
Planting is different, the risk is greatly reduced and food can be stored longer. Comparing the two, people will make choices.
The most shocked people in this rush were Qinghua, Qingjun and others. They had been in Sun City for more than half a month, and all seven children had made arrangements to go to school.
The arbitral tribunal set aside a courtyard for them to live in, and Qinghua also went to school to attend classes while taking care of the children's daily life.
After class, she took Qingjun and the other seven around Sun City. Everything they saw was new and she wanted to know more about it.
When it was time to harvest the wheat, the older children in the school went home to work, and Qinghua and others also went to help.
Seeing the scene of wheat harvesting for the first time, Qinghua and others were shocked. They never understood where the flour came from, and could not connect the large wheat seedlings in the fields with the flour.
They personally participated in the collection and saw the super cargo-carrying capacity of the rack truck. The scene scared them all and they could not recover for a long time.
Qinghua was careful and saw the sickles and other tools in people's hands. The tools of the Qingyan tribe were completely incomparable.
After grinding the wheat, using the wind to clear away the debris, leaving piles of wheat grains, it was an eye-opener for several people to see that the whole process was like this.
Qinghua followed to see the process of grinding flour, and understood the whole process, and suddenly realized it. She suddenly realized that wheat cultivation was also suitable for the Qingyan tribe.
Growing wheat is more reliable than hunting. Qinghua saw everything and secretly thought about how to speak.
After the wheat harvest, Lin Yan began to copy books. She wanted to finish copying the dictionary before the cold season came.
When Hua Min came to see her, she felt happy when she saw that Lin Yan was so diligent and could take the initiative to work without being pushed.
"Lin Yan, it's really unaccustomed to you to work so hard all of a sudden. What made you reflect and realize your own problems?"
"Tch, I've always been very diligent, okay?"
"Haha, do you have a wrong understanding of yourself? As far as I know, the medical books and dictionaries you promised have not been completed. It has been more than two years. If I don't urge you often, I don't know when I can fulfill it. "
"It's almost time. Your dictionary will be finished this year. What do you want from me?"
Hua Min said: "It's the cold season again. Let me ask you, will you still teach everyone?"
"Come on, there are less things in the cold season, it's the time to study. If nothing else, the arrangement is like this every year in the cold season. Are you unable to attend class because of something?"
Lin Yan felt that Hua Min took the initiative to come to ask, maybe because she had other things to do, so she asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Hua Min said: "I was thinking that after the cold season comes, I won't be able to go out. How should Qinghua and the seven children be arranged? Should they be sent back or stay?"
"There isn't enough time to send them back now, so I have to stay. Once the cold season is over, let's see what they think. You can teach them for a few more months."
"I know it's too late. Since harvesting the wheat, Qinghua has asked me about wheat cultivation several times. I think she saw the benefits of growing wheat and wanted to bring it to the Qingyan tribe. Those babies are just fine, they are simple-minded, but Qinghua After all, she is an adult and thinks too much. If she stays, she will peek into many secrets. What do you think?"
Lin Yan smiled, "These things can be found with just a little care. Just like we want cotton from the wilderness tribes, it is understandable that they want wheat. I think growing wheat is a good thing that is conducive to development. If they want to grow it, teach them." Give it to them.”
"Do you really want to give it?" Hua Min felt that this was a bit of a loss. "If we give it to other tribes, our flour will have no advantage, and it will be difficult to replace it with something useful. Besides, the arbitration tribunal probably won't agree."
Lin Yan was silent for a while, "Wherever there are people, food is the most important. Only when people can be fed can we talk about other things. Just like Sun City, in the early days everyone was busy with stuttering. Isn't it better now? , in addition to food, everyone also started to be busy with other things. Some people did business, some raised fish and poultry, some loved learning, etc. Promoting wheat can benefit more people. Sun City has already taken the lead, and other tribes want to It is difficult to catch up. Our greatest advantages are various innovative technologies and the people we have cultivated with new ideas."
"As for the arbitration tribunal, I will go and talk to them. Hua Min, I know you are not happy in your heart. Open up the situation and don't limit it to the present. What you have to do now is to teach Qingjun and the others well. That is the fire, and they are still waiting for them. After studying, go back and change the Qingyan Tribe and the Wilderness Tribe. When the two tribes realize the role of wheat, it will be more beneficial to us."
Hua Min nodded, "I understand what you said, but I always feel like I'm at a loss. Just giving them the wheat we worked so hard to research and letting them enjoy the fruits of it doesn't feel right. Why don't we use the wheat seeds in exchange for some benefits? Can't we It’s a waste of money for them.”
"There must be an exchange of benefits, otherwise how could the arbitral tribunal agree? It won't be given in vain."
"Okay, think about it again, I'm just going to tell you, and you will be asked to do what I want to do next."
After Hua Min left, Lin Yan thought carefully about it. Diplomacy with other tribes was indeed difficult. She was pretty sure that almost everyone had the same idea as Hua Min, wanting to keep all the good things in their own hands and accepting exchanges of equal value at best.
But once the wheat seeds are given away, it can be foreseen that there will be no profit in the future. No one wants such a loss-making business. It is not easy to persuade the arbitral tribunal to agree.
In the next few days, before Lin Yan went to the arbitration tribunal, Qinghua took the initiative to come to the door.
After wandering around Sun City for many days, Qinghua also found out about Lin Yan's status in Sun City, so she came to see him. She wanted to know what Lin Yan was thinking. Whether this matter could be done successfully or not, Lin Yan's attitude was very important.
After looking around Lin Yan's office, Qinghua smiled and said, "It looks different here."
"It's different. It's dirty and messy." Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm too busy to clean up. You sit down first."
Qinghua nodded and looked at Lin Yan seriously. It was really unimaginable that her shadow was behind all the signs in Sun City. A child who is less than ten years old has a wonderful idea and has changed Sun City.
When she first learned about this, Qinghua didn't believe it, but after asking many people, everyone told the same story. Their respect and admiration for Lin Yan came from the bottom of their hearts, and she had to believe it.
After thinking for a long time, Qinghua decided to take the initiative to ask.
