New World 1620

Although the global small ice age climate in the 17th century caused the rainfall in North America to be extremely stingy in the last two months, relying on the abundant streams, canals and groundwater resources in Brooklyn, the first year of agricultural production went smoothly to the harvest period.

The farm area directly under the Manhattan community, with a total of more than 200 acres of wheat fields, is now a golden ocean. More than [-] Indian employees are working hard on harvesting.

The human harvester launched by a technical house of the Ministry of Industry weighs only a dozen kilograms. It is said that it has applied for countless patent investment projects and ignored them, but now it has become one of the most powerful human agricultural tools in the Manhattan community.

Slices of wheat were harvested and stacked together by Indian hired workers, and then transported to the designated grain processing site in waves by carts pulled by horses imported from Europe. This tall four-legged monster once attracted the attention of the Delaware people No small panic.

In order to speed up harvesting and transportation, community committees and some managers of the Ministry of Agriculture also joined the ranks of summer harvest.Such a harvest scene also happened in many Delaware Indian villages on both sides of the lower Hudson River, but the harvesters that are still in the experimental stage cannot be used in large numbers on Indian farms.

The farm land that has been harvested will be reorganized in the near future, and then a wave of side crops such as alfalfa, beans, or sweet potatoes and potatoes will be planted on a large area, so that a large harvest can be obtained before winter comes.The straw harvested this time will also be returned to the field as soil fertilizer or processed as other industrial and agricultural raw materials. After that, the farm will undergo a new round of planning and expansion to prepare for the spring plowing in 1622.

The problems exposed in the first large-scale agricultural plan made the members of the agricultural team led by Aunt Hai Huifen, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, conduct a deep reflection, and the thinking of seeking everything from the big to the high was completely corrected.Any subsequent planning is based on the basic guiding ideology of saving technical manpower.

The crops, poultry, and livestock varieties obtained from Europe were handed over to the Delaware Indian villages with the best connections, and even the Mohegan Indians in the far north also obtained some.The Manhattan community itself only retains extremely limited agricultural planting and livestock raising units, and more time is spent guiding these local aborigines in agricultural production.

According to preliminary statistics, although the wheat seeds brought by the catastrophe are not very suitable for the local climate, the fertile and messy field quality still makes the yield per mu reach nearly 200 kilograms. The century can only exist as a dream.

In view of Haihuifen's reminder about the originally too harsh income sharing plan in the Indian agricultural support plan, after careful consideration, the Manhattan Community Committee reduced the sharing ratio from [-]% to [-]% within three years. The crops were harvested like waves, and the dreamlike Indian village leaders danced the traditional dance happily.

More than 400 acres of direct-owned farms have harvested more than 50 tons of wheat alone, and other non-one-time summer harvests of side crops have also provided no less than [-] tons of income.This does not include the amount to be divided from the Indian farms.

……

……

In a certain Delaware Indian village just a day’s journey northeast of the Brooklyn industrial area, Kenlaton stared blankly at the bustling farm in front of him with a cigarette stick in his mouth, his hands trembling slightly.

In the past years, no matter how devoutly praying to the gods, the ancestors of the village have struggled to live in the cycle of hunger and full.In order to survive, their young people have to practice the ability to fight against ferocious beasts, fight bloody wars with other tribes, and tremble under the capricious emotions of the gods of nature.

Now, it seems that these don’t exist anymore. Even if more than half of the harvest is distributed to those friendly Chinese, the food brought by the 1500 mu of land distributed along the banks of the small river is enough for the entire village to use for more than half a year. , and it seems so easy and simple, it seems to expand the area of ​​cultivated land!

Want to go hunting and fishing?Maybe just to add more flavors in the future.

Still want to fight?Maybe when the opponent starts to covet his own wealth, his daughter's husband, the son-in-law of the "Chinese family" will be the first to jump out and use that fearful weapon to overwhelm any idiot who dares to provoke the village.

Most of the young people are busy in the Chinese or their own farms, and the women and children all help out at the farm harvesting site with bright smiles.Bundles of harvested wheat piled up like a mountain, and then they were told to wait for a day when the Chinese would send all kinds of strange tools for follow-up processing.

Last month, I lived with my son-in-law and daughter on the territory of the Chinese people for nearly a month. The indescribable sense of comfort and prosperity has been deeply imprinted in the old man's mind until now.

The seemingly incurable trauma, after coming out of that strange white house, the pain disappeared; the seemingly dangerous river, but the Chinese people can easily go back and forth in their strange big boats; it seems that the sun has disappeared In the dark night, what meets the eyes is bright lights like the stars in the sky...

"Father, are you still in a daze?"

Suddenly, the daughter beside him pulled his arm.It was only then that Kenlaton came back to his senses, and looked at his daughter Nada who was six months pregnant with a potbellied face lovingly, a feeling of joy and pride arose spontaneously.

"What is Li Xiang doing? Why didn't you come back with you today?" The old man made a serious expression on purpose.

"He seems to have been elected as a leader in the Chinese community, and he's very busy now." Nada pouted a little dissatisfied, but the expression of blissful happiness on her ruddy face was obviously more proud than her old father.

"Well, the young people in the village are all working for the Chinese people now, and they seldom return to the village. I have a plan..." Kenlaton said here, looking back at the direction of the village with a little worry, "I think It was suggested at the village patriarch meeting that our whole village should move there, and I found out that our young man already has a large new home there."

Na Da was startled, and looked nervously at her father's serious expression.She had secretly heard about the disputes in the village during this period, that is, some family patriarchs planned to move the entire family to the community formed spontaneously by Indians in the southeast of the Brooklyn industrial area.

Such an idea was naturally opposed by the older generation of village leaders, especially Nada's mother, the high priest of the village, who was also the highest authority of the family.

Of course, Nada was very happy to let her parents live with her, but when she thought of her mother sitting in meditation in the big family house all day long, Nada felt unspeakable worry and sadness.

"Dad, Li Xiang must be very happy, but Mom, she..."

Nada thought for a while, but still nervously expressed her opinion.

"She...maybe this is the hope and direction that the gods have brought us." Kenladon turned his back slowly and walked away slowly.
