Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: The Farmer’s Destiny

Those suited for planting in spring and summer were set aside and placed in the granary, while those suited for autumn and winter were carefully selected. However, they didn’t plant all the seeds available; after all, they couldn’t transport the surplus to sell, so they could only plant as much as they could consume.

In these vast fields, everyone chose three plots to farm in rotation. This way, when the crops in the first plot were consumed, the second plot would have grown just in time. By the time the second plot was harvested, the third plot would be ready for maturity.

With this cycle repeating endlessly, they wouldn’t have to worry about not having vegetables to eat.

Bai Junjun hadn’t expected there to be such intricacies in farming and raised his thumb in admiration toward everyone.

"To be honest, we’re just missing some farming experts to guide us here. Why don’t you all take charge? From sowing the seeds to harvesting, we’ll leave everything in your hands. As for manpower, the thousand-plus members of the Fire-Swallowing Tribe are at your disposal."

In the past, the majority of their harvest had to be handed over, leaving only a meager amount for themselves. During busy farming seasons, they would assist neighbors after finishing their own crops, but the concept of "egalitarian communal farming" had never crossed anyone’s mind.

Even though they used to farm for wealthy households and landlords, all the grain belonged to those landlords, none of it was theirs. Here, however, it was different. When Bai Junjun proposed that they teach everyone, they assumed that all the resources would be handed over to Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.

Naturally, everyone had no objections to the idea, as without Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, they wouldn’t be where they were now.

But Bai Junjun simply shook his head and said, "These things belong to everyone. The grain is for everyone to eat, and in the future, when times get better, we can even transport grain out to sell it. The silver coin earned will be distributed fairly among everyone."

It was beyond anyone’s imagination that they would come to this place and not only become its owners but also have food and even profits to share. It overturned their previous worldview.

"Of course, our premise has to be mutual honesty and altruism. No one should harbor self-centered schemes. Everyone represents the collective, and the collective represents everyone. Only by embracing this spirit can we ensure the longevity of communal sharing."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. And so, under Bai Junjun’s leadership, thirty or so professional farmers took charge, each leading twenty to thirty people to work on a designated plot of land.

This time, facing the Fire-Swallowing Tribe was no longer accompanied by the fear they had felt the night before. After all, anyone who could sit quietly in a classroom and recite the Thousand Character Text probably wasn’t all that bad.

Besides, they figured that the tribe might have resorted to cannibalism because there was nothing to eat in the jungles they used to inhabit. But things were different now—there was so much food here that surely they wouldn’t find it worthwhile to eat humans.

Their assumptions proved correct. Not only did the Fire-Swallowing Tribe refrain from acting cruelly, but they even showed great respect for the farmers because of the agricultural knowledge they shared. Of course, this regard had to be observed and experienced slowly by the farmers over time.

After Bai Junjun made proper arrangements for everything here, he returned to the Immortal Mansion.

The mansion was extremely lively at that moment.

In recent days, Mr. Shan Hai and Lady Lin had taught everyone how to make various handicrafts, such as bamboo-woven lanterns, dustpans, and baskets.

There were also items related to the literary arts, such as Xuan paper, brushes, and rulers. As for ink, since they didn’t have any, Mr. Shan Hai boiled a type of plant to produce a thick blue liquid as a substitute. There were even red, brown, and other plant-based pigments, resulting in a palette as diverse as colored pens.

At that moment, Yuwen Luanfei was writing the character "囍" (double happiness) on Xuan paper, while the skilled women had begun crafting bridal garments for Miss Wu Nuan and arranging her new marital home.

During this flurry of activity, everyone finally understood the reason for the rush: it turned out that the wedding preparations were due to Ah Dao being critically ill, and Miss Wu Nuan would sacrifice herself to bring him joy and vitality through the wedding.
