Chapter 878 Changes on the Island

Back in Wan Guo, Li Qingman naturally wanted to take the equation to see the changes on the island during this period.

There are no earth-shaking changes. After all, the trip to Nile lasted for more than 40 days, and there was no major movement in such a short period of time.

However, there are still many changes in details: first, the traffic on the island has become more developed, and two avenues have been built in the north and south, and east and west, making the connection of the island more convenient; and then there is a more complete underground pipeline laying During this period of time, four new islander residential areas were built on the island, equipped with special sanitation facilities, including sewer pipes for drainage and sewage; The forest is isolated and protected, and other places are being cultivated.

"After you left, the sweet potatoes planted on our island had their first bumper harvest. The land here is fertile and the rain is abundant. Those sweet potatoes are growing very gratifyingly. They can grow wildly on the island with almost no need for care." Li Qingman said in the Reporting the good news of the grain harvest to the equation, with a stable grain output, the island no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat.

"Sweet potato is a crop that is very easy to reproduce and grow. It was brought to China from South America during the Ming Dynasty. Due to its strong adaptability and fast growth speed, it spread across the country at once. And because sweet potato is rich in nutrition, it can provide a large amount of food. Carbohydrates and vitamins soon became the staple food on the table. Those farmers who could not eat enough had sweet potatoes as food, and only then did the large-scale growth of the national population during the Qing Dynasty."

"You know quite a lot."

"You may not know these things when you grew up in country A, but it's just common sense for me, a person from country C."

Li Qingman smiled happily and said, "Thanks to the role of these sweet potatoes, do you know how many people we have on the island now?"

Equation tried to guess: "Two thousand?"

"There are so many, how long have you been away?" Li Qingman shook his head and said, "There are more than 1500 people registered so far."

"That's a lot."

"This is not counting the nearly [-] people imprisoned on Obsidian Island."

Speaking of Obsidian Island, Fang Fang asked, "By the way, how is Guoguo doing there?"

Li Qingman said with a smile: "Don't look at her young age, she is now able to manage the situation on her own. Recently, because there are too many prisoners sent, I am worried that she will not be able to take care of them, so I sent her some more prisoners." Manpower, let James go there too."

"I can rest assured that James is there."

"You don't have to worry about it, but don't underestimate her. She is no longer the weak little girl she used to be."

Now that he talked about the situation on Obsidian Island, Li Qingman chatted with Fang Fang about the current situation there.

The prisoners on the island are all prisoners who need to go through labor reform, and their daily life is to go back and forth between the prison and the labor place.

In order to achieve self-sufficiency on the island, Tang Guo took the prisoners to reclaim all the land that was not suitable for planting, and planted sweet potatoes that are very easy to survive, ensuring that the prisoners can eat at least one meal of sweet potatoes every day. meal.

In addition to self-sufficiency, Obsidian Island currently has two main industries: one is mining obsidian mines, the reason why it is called Obsidian Island is because the island is rich in obsidian resources; It was dug into a salt field, and as long as it is not rainy, sea salt can be dried.

These things are all to be transported to Wan Guo to sell for money, and when they have money, they will buy paper, soap, farm tools and other things from Wan Guo to take back.

After hearing Li Qingman talk about these things, Fang Fang's worries can finally be let go.

Go straight along the avenue across the island.

Before walking too far, he suddenly smelled a faint grassy smell in the air.

Of course, Equation is familiar with this smell. It smells like sheep feces. It's not very smelly, but it still makes people frown.

Li Qingman smiled and said: "The sheepfold is in front, go and have a look."

Fang Fang nodded and walked with Li Qingman.

When I came to the sheepfold, there were eight goats inside, the two biggest of which were old guys brought over from Obsidian Island, and the other goats were their descendants.

The sheep were not very afraid of people, and they didn't have any special reaction when they saw Fang Fang and Li Qingman appearing. They should eat grass and continue to chew grass leisurely.

"Unexpectedly, there were only two sheep at the beginning, and now there are eight sheep." Fang Fang was deeply moved.

"Currently there are eight, and there will be more in the future." Li Qingman is full of hope for the future.

As long as these lambs grow up and continue to breed the next generation, the island will have a herd of goats.

When checking the sheepfold, the two of them heard wild boars howling non-stop not far away.

Li Qingman said: "Let's go, go and see our pigs."

Leaving from the sheep pen, the two came to the pig pen.

Unlike sheep pens, which are made of wood, pig pens are made of stone.

The reason is that these wild boars are too fierce and unruly, and if they are not built with stones, they will be destroyed by them.

Standing outside the pigsty, you can see that several compartments have been built inside, and the guys with black manes and fangs are separated.

Seeing Equation and Li Qingman appear, these black-haired beasts roared and slammed into the stone wall, looking very tough.

Li Qingman said: "These wild boars are too good at fighting. In order to prevent them from fighting and getting injured, we separated them."

Equation saw a litter of piglets in a compartment. These piglets looked like wild boars at first glance, with black skin and fur. They were really cute when they were young, but once they grow up, they will probably be the same as their parents. Ugly and fierce.

"It seems that domesticating wild boars is not that easy." Fang said.

"It's not all from one generation to the next. If you raise a few more generations, the wildness will always be lost." Li Qingman looked at the litter of piglets with a smile.

When the two were looking at the pig, an islander came up to him cautiously and saluted Fang Fang and Li Qingman respectfully.

Fang asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied: "My lord, I am 876. I don't have a name yet. My job in Wan Guo is to raise these wild boars."

Under Li Qingman's introduction, Fang Fang knew that this islander whose registration number was 876 was an immigrant who brought his family from other tribes to Wanguo. This number was registered at that time. He didn't know how to name it, so he kept on Use the number as your name.

Seeing that he seemed to be particularly good at raising pigs, he took good care of these wild boars, so Li Qingman arranged for him to take up the job of raising pigs.

"It's inconvenient not to have a name, why don't you come up with a name." Fang Fang said.

"My lord, I don't know the name."

Fang Fang thought for a while and said, "Well, since you are good at raising pigs, you should be called Master Zhu."
