Three Kingdoms: My wife invited me out of the mountain to ascend the throne while living in seclusio

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked puzzled.

The main purpose of sending you Xun Wenruo to Jingzhou...isn't it to bring back some potatoes and sweet potatoes?

It's such a big two packs, what's wrong with eating one?
What's wrong with satisfying your appetite?
"My lord, according to Liu Jiuru's introduction, these sweet potatoes and potatoes are magical things with a yield of three to four thousand catties per mu."

Xun Yu said immediately.

What is most important right now?
Make seeds!
If you eat one, you will lose one seed!

If you don't give the lord a reason to convince him, it is estimated that he will eat most of it in one meal.

So Xun Yu immediately said the most amazing thing about sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"what?!"

"Three or four thousand catties per mu?"

Cao Cao's tiger eyes widened in an instant, and he stared at Xun Yu steadfastly.

He doesn't believe it!

He couldn't believe it.

"Impossible? Wen Ruo, did you make a mistake?"

"Even if it is a god, it is impossible to achieve three or four thousand catties per mu, but three or four thousand is very possible!"

"I don't believe it either. Although it is something we have never understood before, it can't be teased by us like this, right?"

"If the yield is so high, how can there be people starving to death in the world? How can there be such things as changing children and eating them? I definitely don't believe it."

"Brother Wen Ruo, you have fallen into the trap of Meng Lang, you must have been deceived by someone. The yield of three or four thousand catties per mu is enough to save the people of the world from suffering!"

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and other advisors shook their heads in disbelief.

I even felt that Xun Yu was either making a mistake or teasing them.

What is the concept of three or four thousand catties per mu?
You know. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the common people suffered from hunger and cold. "The people eat each other, and the week is depressed" is the most realistic social portrayal of the moment.

On the one hand, a large number of refugees have no food to eat, and on the other hand, there is no one to cultivate a large area of ​​wasteland.

Therefore, Cao Cao took the lead in implementing the garrison system, using military and civilian garrisons to retain the people. With such a stable population, cities, agriculture, and commerce can develop, tax revenue can be stabilized, and food and grass are provided for the army through garrison.

But even so, it is difficult to support food under low production, and the reason lies in the production.

The main food they grow is nine grains!

Nine grains include: Wo, sorghum, rice, millet, wheat, barley, soybean, adzuki bean, and hemp.

Among them, rice is the most important crop.

However, even under the conditions of extremely fertile land, rice can sustain up to three or four hundred catties, and other crops are even less.

Nowadays, agriculture in the world is extremely underdeveloped, and farming is relatively simple, and most of them are even under slash-and-burn farming.

There is no fertilizer, and the excrement of humans and animals is not enough, so fire ash is used as fertilizer.

What is fire ash?

It is to cut down a large number of bellflowers or trees and thatch on the mountain, dry them in the sun, then fill them with soil, and finally light the bellflowers or trees and thatch, and after burning them all, the soil obtained is called fire ash.

In fact, this method is still used in some remote places even after thousands of years.

The effect of this kind of fertilizer can be imagined, and it is almost impossible to cultivate high-yielding crops.

Therefore, three or four hundred catties is ten times more than three or four thousand catties!
Who dares to believe it?

Of course.

Cao Cao didn't know the output of three or four thousand catties, and Liu Chuan introduced to Xun Yu a rather conservative figure.

If the conditions are good, it is not difficult to produce more than [-] catties per mu, and there are even more powerful ones with seven to eight thousand catties per mu.

"Xun Wenruo, are you sure you didn't deceive me?"

Cao Cao's expression became extremely serious. In fact, he knew very well that Xun Yu couldn't lie to him, he just couldn't believe it.

"My lord, Xun Yu absolutely dare not."

"After Liu Jiuru introduced this object, a certain person went to check it out. These objects were planted in the ground one by one, and when they were dug out, there were a large pile of them. There were more than ten large and small ones. The big ones were like fists, and the small ones were like fingers. It weighs several kilograms."

"And more importantly, sweet potatoes are very easy to grow, and they don't require much land. They can be grown on any land, and they can be widely planted."

Xun Yu replied.

He saw that the lord was still not convinced, so he looked at Cao Hong who was on the side.

"Cao Zilian, did you see it with your own eyes in Xiaozhaizi?"

"In Liu Jiuru's cellar, sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up like mountains."

Cao Hong nodded and said, "My lord, if Xun Wenruo is right, I did see it with my own eyes."

In fact, among all the people present, he was the one who believed Xun Yu's words the most.

When Cao Hong came out to testify, Cao Cao fell silent immediately, and those who didn't believe him also fell silent.

Their faces kept changing, but they all saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Without exception.

"Liu Jiuru's family, there are too many of these things, so much that they can't finish them. His family uses this thing to feed pigs."

Xun Yu felt that it was not enough, so he added another sentence.

"What? What did you say? Feed the pigs?"

Cao Cao's body trembled violently, his breathing also became extremely rapid, and the nails of both hands almost dug into the flesh.

"Nonsense, it's just bullshit!"

"No, it is a blasphemy against the gods to be so violent!"

Cao Cao held the sweet potato in his left hand and the potato in his right. He looked left and right, his eyes bloodshot with greed.

He was taken as a treasure, as something delicious and delicious, and was fed to the pigs.What's more, there are still so many people in the world who can't eat enough!

How does this make him not angry?
"Feed the pig?!"

Guo Jia, Xu Chu and others were also shocked.

They had the good fortune to taste sweet potatoes and potatoes, so delicious they fed them to pigs!

Is there any reason?
The importance of food is self-evident.

Especially in this era of famine, sometimes even if you have money, you can't buy food, which shows the preciousness of food.

If it is true as Xun Yu said, with sweet potatoes
Then he, Cao Cao, can be said to instantly make all the people in the world return to their hearts, and the people regard food as their heaven, and all the people will definitely regard him as the incarnation of heaven.

There is no need to say how important it is to the people to feed people.

At that time.

Among the princes of the world, who is qualified to compete with Cao Cao?
No one!

Only one sentence is needed for Lao Tzu to feed the common people!

This statement is enough!

And this time.

Seeing Cao Cao in such a state, Xun Yu was overjoyed.

At that time, he heard Zhang Yida say that Liu Chuan's family used sweet potatoes and potatoes to feed pigs, and his mood was almost the same as Cao Cao's.

And at this moment when he sees the lord, he is also in the same mood. He is in a very good mood, and let you all experience that painful feeling.

It's been a long time.

Cao Cao reluctantly put down the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands.

He was reluctant to eat.

In order to have more sweet potatoes and potatoes to eat in the future, what if I don’t eat them now?
Satisfying the appetite is what mediocrity does.

Cao's structure is definitely not that small.

"Xun Wenruo, plant this thing immediately, and you will be responsible for it!"

Cao Cao ordered solemnly.

"Yes! My lord."

Xun Yu replied.

But he felt quite uneasy in his heart, always feeling that this thing would cause big things.

This is his intuition.

It's just that he couldn't grasp what was wrong, even when Kong Ming gave it to him before, he felt wrong.

Xun Yu prayed:
"I hope there will be no accidents."
