Chapter 204 The Bet with Xun Yu
Xun Yu remained silent.

It's not that he avoided answering, but that he hasn't found the answer yet.

At first, Xun Yu had a single idea.

It is nothing more than that if Cao Cao wants to be king, he will show his ambition by death.

No longer follow Cao Cao.

There is no doubt about this.

However, what Bai Chuan said and the subsequent investigation made Xun Yu shaken.

Today's world is much better than it was when Emperor Huan Ling was the second emperor.

Although food is still in short supply, the people still suffer from the war.

But at least the states and counties under Cao Cao's governance are relatively comfortable.

If the world is completely peaceful, maybe the prosperous age will reappear.

In the world, should the surname be Liu all the time?
During this time, Xun Yu has been thinking about this question.

Maybe it's because I'm too persistent, but Xun You's thinking is correct?
But for some reason, there seemed to be a voice in my heart, still dissuading myself.

Once Cao Cao did this, he would completely become a usurper of the Han Dynasty.

"It seems that Lord Xun Ling still feels that Duke Wei should not be called king."

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said:

"This is the situation, it is God's will, and it is fate."

"I don't think so, so what?"

Fate?

Bai Chuan chuckled and said:
"This is not a fate, but Wei Gong won it himself."

"In fact, even if it is not Wei Gong who sits on the seat of Wei Gong today, but Yuan Shao, or Gongsun Zan, or other princes."

"Xun Lingjun thinks, how much are they compared to Duke Wei?"

Xun Yu was slightly taken aback.

Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan...

Speaking of these princes, Xun Yu shook his head frequently.

Xun Yu knew them very well.

If they had such rights, they would have established themselves as emperors like Yuan Shu.

In contrast, Cao Cao should actually be struggling with this issue.

Xun Yu said calmly:

"Perhaps, it is inevitable for Wei Gong to become emperor."

"I won't stop him, but if Duke Wei proclaims himself emperor, I don't think I should stay by Duke Wei's side."

"I will retire and return to my hometown, and the Xun family will also be buried together from now on."

"Wei Gong intends to suppress the gentry now, maybe this way he will feel more at ease."

Bai Chuan shook his head, and said:

"Xun Lingjun, if you think so, then you are very wrong."

The movements of Xun Yu's hands froze for a moment, and he looked at Bai Chuan suspiciously:
"What does Jingming mean by that?"

Bai Chuan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice:

"Let me ask Xun Lingjun a question."

"What did Xun Lingjun become an official in the first place?"

Before Xun Yu could answer, Bai Chuan continued:
"Is it for fame and fortune? You are not this kind of person."

"What is that for? To save the big man?"

"But I ask Xun Lingjun to think about it carefully. Is the big man back then and the big man today really worth saving?"

Originally Xun Yu still firmly believed in his thoughts, but when he heard what Bai Chuan said, he really hesitated.

Did I really want to save the big man?Or because of something else?

At the beginning, the biggest reason for becoming an official seemed to be that he could not see the suffering of the people and wanted to contribute his own strength to help the world.

But, is it the common people or the big man who are helping?
Bai Chuan drank the tea in the cup and said in a deep voice:

"Xun Lingjun, just look at this."

"Maybe with it, you can realize what you wanted in your heart back then."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuan fumbled out a handful of things from his bosom, and handed it to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu took a closer look and murmured:
"seed?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary rice seed?"

After all, Xun Yu felt that something was wrong.

Xun Yu is basically in charge of farming affairs.

Xun Yu knew quite well about seeds.

The seeds in Bai Chuan's hands looked like rice seeds, but they were different.

"This thing is a rice seed, but it is not an ordinary seed."

"Mr. Xun Ling, do you know how much rice is produced per mu?"

Bai Chuan said mysteriously.

Xun Yu spoke slowly:
"When the yield is the highest, one mu can reach three stones."

"If it is higher, it can reach up to four stones."

Bai Chuan smiled slightly, and said:
"This type of rice can produce up to twenty shi of grain per mu."

Twenty stones of grain, that is, two thousand four hundred catties, one thousand two hundred kilograms.

This is marked in the system mall, and it is basically the same as the highest grain output in the 21st century that Bai Chuan was in before.

Things that seem commonplace in modern times are completely different in ancient times.

In fact, what Xun Yu said just now that one mu can produce three stones is only a small number of places.

In most places, due to years of wars and other factors, it is not bad to produce one stone of grain a year.

Today's food production in the world is pitifully small.

Hearing Bai Chuan's words, Xun Yu first widened his eyes, then frowned and said:
"Jing Ming is entertaining me?!"

"What's so magical about this grain, that it can produce twenty shi of grain per mu?"

"If this is the case, why would the common people worry about food?"

A yield of twenty stones!It is four times the maximum output that I just said!Compared with the usual output, it has increased by nearly seven times!
In Xun Yu's view, this is simply nonsense.

It is simply impossible to reach this level.

But Bai Chuan said very seriously:

"I came here in a hurry, not to amuse Mr. Xun Ling."

"This thing, the output is these."

"Because of the water and soil, there may be some impact."

"But as long as it is cultivated normally, the average will not be lower than fifteen stone."

The super hybrid rice seeds given by the system have the advantage that they can grow anywhere.

Even if the seeds are sown in the desert with very little water, they can still grow.

Xun Yu gave a wry smile:
"It's empty talk, it's ridiculous."

"Jingming, you shouldn't be this kind of person."

Bai Chuan also guessed Xun Yu's attitude.

If Xun Yu's reaction is not strong, then there is a ghost.

Bai Chuan smiled slyly, and said:
"Empty talk without proof? In that case, Xun Lingjun might as well make a bet with me, how about it?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu smiled and said:
"Bet, bet, what are you betting on?"

Bai Chuan said without thinking:

"Just bet on the yield of this seed."

"Using the normal planting method, bet it can produce twenty stones per acre."

"If it is achieved, Lord Xun Ling will have to make a decision and accept Duke Wei's proclaiming king."

"If you can't achieve it, I will listen to Lord Xun Ling. Even if Lord Xun Ling wants me to assassinate King Wei, I will never say no."

Xun Yu originally had a smile on his face, but soon his expression became more solemn:
"Jingming, don't be joking!"

Bai Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I'm not joking."

"It's just helping Xun Lingjun make a decision."

Xun Yu waved his hand and said:
"Then bet!"

"If this thing can really produce twenty shi of grain per mu, then the world will enter an unprecedented prosperity!"

"But Jingming, you have to remember what you said."
