Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 96 The Benefits of Potatoes

Potatoes are an extremely productive crop.

The planting method is simple, and the planting process is worry-free. It is really a high-quality military ration.

But Yuan Shao didn't think so!

At least, he disagreed with Yuan Tan planting potatoes.

Yuan Tan said whatever he wanted, but Yuan Shao never let go. He even slapped the table and scolded in front of all civil and military officials, "Nizi, are you going to piss me off?"

"Father, the people are willing to stay in Jizhou only if they have enough to eat," Yuan Tan argued, and said in a deep voice: "The development potential of the city depends on the population of the prefecture and county, so we must pay attention to agricultural development , let the people live a good life.”

Yuan Shao's face was livid, he barely suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Tan'er, as a father, I can agree to any request you have, except farming!"

Yuan Tan wanted to persuade him again, but the judge said: "My lord, the Eldest Young Master is exceptional, and his wisdom is unparalleled. Since he wants to lead his troops to farm, you should help him."

"Yuan Tu, you..." Yuan Shao's lips trembled with anger, and he said angrily: "If we really want to lead his troops to farm, it will be Yuan Shang who goes, and Tan'er can't leave!"

"My lord..."

"Yuan Tu, I've made up my mind, don't persuade me any more!"

Hearing this, the judge lowered his head and said nothing more.

When Yuan Tan put forward the request of "ten thousand hectares of fertile land", he was relieved and secretly rejoiced.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was furious and refused to let go.

The trial and match became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but persuade a few words, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

He is a smart man, seeing Yuan Shao's firm opposition, he didn't say any more.

At this time, Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Tan, and said coldly: "Tan'er, have you thought it over yet?"

After a moment of silence, Yuan Tan asked back: "Dare to ask my father, how much grain can be produced per mu of land in Jizhou?"

Yuan Shao was startled, and said in astonishment: "This... I don't know."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Feng Ji, and he winked at him.

Feng Ji Yue came out, bowed and said: "Return to my lord, each mu of land in Jizhou can produce a hundred catties of grain."

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "If it were me, every mu of land in Jizhou could produce a thousand catties of grain!"

"What?" Feng Ji's face changed slightly, he shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Tan's smile did not fade and he said to Yuan Shao: "Father, handsome, let's make a bet."

"What are you gambling?"

"Just bet that every mu of land in Jizhou can produce a thousand catties of grain!"

Yuan Shao frowned, and asked in surprise, "You can really do it?"

"of course!"

"What if it can't be done?"

"If you can't do it, the boy is willing to be punished! If you can do it, please let the commander-in-law agree to the boy's request."

After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you! As for those ten thousand acres of fertile land, let Shen Pei get it for you..."

After speaking, he stood up and walked away.

After Yuan Shao left, Feng Ji smiled "haha", and said to Yuan Tan: "Your Excellency is a gentleman, I admire you so much."

Lu Kuang came over and said gloatingly, "Fortunately, the eldest son doesn't want us, otherwise, we have to go farming!"

Lu Xiang interjected: "My brother's words are wrong. Farming is so good. You can have enough food and don't have to go to the battlefield. I am a little envious of the eldest son."

"What do you know? The eldest son went to farm for the sake of the common people. From now on, the people in Hebei will have food to eat!"

……

Amidst the cynicism, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth turned up, and he looked at everyone's faces one by one, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

In an instant, the entire hall was silent.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Tan turned his eyes and said to the judge, "I will ask you to find good land, sir."

The examiner nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, I will finish this matter as soon as possible."

He was eager to send this plague god away as soon as possible, so he naturally refused to delay. After a few words with Feng Ji, he took his two followers to find a place.

Looking at the judge's back, Yuan Tan raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.

After leaving the hall, he returned to the mansion prepared by Guo Tu, and planned to talk to Queen Guo.

After all, it would be a huge waste to leave such a beautiful woman at home and not take the opportunity to enhance their relationship.

Yuan Tan stopped a waiter and asked in a low voice, "Where is Queen Guo now?"

The waiter was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "Who is the young master asking?"

Yuan Tan remembered that the other party did not know Queen Guo, and then smiled and said: "I am asking the two people sent by General Gao Lan, where are they locked up now?"

The waiter said "Oh" and replied: "Reporting to the eldest son, the man was imprisoned in the backyard by General Gao Lan, and the woman was sent to your bedroom."

"Forehead……"

bedroom?

This is too direct, right?
Yuan Tan patted the other party's shoulder, and said calmly: "I see, you can go to work."

"Yes, son."

After the waiter left, Yuan Tan rushed to the bedroom and saw Queen Guo sitting by the bed with her hands behind her back, tied up like a rice dumpling.

Seeing this situation, he secretly laughed, and couldn't help saying: "Miss Guo, don't come here without any problems..."

"You...you despicable and shameless villain..." Queen Guo saw Yuan Tan approaching, with a panic on her face, and while struggling hard, she said in a trembling voice: "Shameless person, you... you just Do you only bully women?"

Yuan Tan sat beside Queen Guo, and said with a smirk, "I know a lot, do you want to try?"

"You...you are shameless!"

In desperation, Queen Guo couldn't help shaking, and tears flowed down her cheeks like broken pearls.

She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and is very courageous. Even if she is surrounded by Yuan's army, she will never give up resistance.

But at this moment, the weakness in her heart was finally exposed in front of Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan looked Queen Guo up and down, and seeing her crying pear blossoms with rain, he couldn't help feeling soft, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't force you."

Queen Guo trembled all over and asked with a red face: "Are you... serious about this?"

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Of course."

Queen Guo felt at ease when she heard this, and said softly, "Thank you...thank you..."

"Thank you for what?" Yuan Tan leaned closer and asked with a smile, "A promise with your body?"

Queen Guo was taken aback, and her heart that was already hanging in her throat instantly raised her throat.Her face was pale, and she asked in panic, "You...you just...did you lie to me?"

"No."

"Then...then you are..."

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "It was you who said you wanted to thank me, so I wanted to ask clearly."

"what?"

Queen Guo was angry and anxious, and regretted it in her heart.If he had known this, he should have stabbed himself to death with a sharp arrow on his back before he was captured, so as to avoid this crime.

Yuan Tan's eyes flickered, and seeing the remorse on Queen Guo's face, he tentatively asked, "Are you regretting?"

"That's right, I regret that I didn't kill you!" Queen Guo stopped crying and said coldly, "If you are a man, kill me."
