Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 110 This Brother, He Determined

After eating and drinking enough, the lieutenant general and Fu Su discovered a problem at the same time: They didn't even eat a bite of food!But after eating shredded potatoes, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and steamed potatoes, the stomach is actually full?
Fu Su asked Su Chen: "Sir, how many potatoes did the three of us eat?"

Su Chen calculated and said, "There are seven potatoes in total. There are also a lot of ribs, and at least two potatoes are needed to top it."

The lieutenant general began to mutter: "Nine potatoes are enough to eat. If it's just winter food, two is too much. An adult man eats two, and women and children eat less. It's more cost-effective than wheat!"

Su Chen shook her head, "Potatoes can only be used as supplementary food, and the staple food must be grains such as wheat, but in the two meals a day, one meal is grains, and the other meal is potatoes. For refugees, the cost of three meals is already very high." Reduced."

The lieutenant general could understand at the beginning, but he was at a loss when he heard the last sentence, "What's lowered?"

Fusu understood that this was Su Chen's "superior" moment again, and he quickly said: "It used to be that one stone of wheat fed a large family for about a month, but now one stone of wheat and potatoes can feed a large family for two months or even longer."

The lieutenant didn't understand why he clearly didn't understand four words, and he explained so much, but he still maintained his identity as a lieutenant, said less and did more, reminded when necessary, and listened to it when it was not necessary.

So he nodded to show that he understood.

Fu Su then asked Su Chen, "Sir, when will the potato seeds be handed over to the city?"

Su Chen said, "A refugee camp is being built here, and it is relatively stable. You and the lieutenant are here. I will take a few soldiers back. This time, I have to teach them how to grow potatoes. It may take a few days to complete the work." come over."

Fusu didn't force him to stay, but said, "Sir, what about your safety with a few soldiers?"

Su Chen smiled and said: "Anyone who rebels is only targeting the prince, not me. Don't worry."

Fusu was still worried, and said to the lieutenant general: "Is there any trustworthy soldier who can call sir?"

The deputy general took out the roster and called out a few names, "These can all be protected with you."

Fu Su nodded and said, "Dial another 100 people to Mr. to protect Mr.'s safety on the way back and forth."

Su Chen was still very satisfied with his apprentice's arrangement in this regard, although he felt that it was unnecessary.

Now that he had decided, Su Chen didn't want to wait any longer. He had his things packed for him, and he ordered the troops together with the deputy general, and set a departure time for tomorrow.

Fusu was still a little worried about parting with her husband for a short time, he was well-informed, so he could always feel at ease by his side.

Su Chen was also worried that there would be an emergency that Fusu couldn't handle. If he really couldn't handle it, he would delay it if he could. If he couldn't, he would ask someone to report it immediately.

There are not many other things. The refugee camp and the dining shed are proceeding in an orderly manner. This is not the first time Fusu has done it. Su Chen believes that the problem is not serious.

On the second day, Su Chen set off on time. When refugees met on the road, they would give some food and arrange income into the queue.The refugees are grateful all the way, and the team is also growing.

When they arrived at the gate of the city on the third day, nearly a hundred more refugees were taken in, and all of them were arranged by the soldiers to the refugee camp.

The first thing Su Chen did when he returned to the city was to take out all the potatoes, find soldiers to cut them into pieces with him, and then take them to eleven refugee camps.In the past few days, the refugee center has been built, and they will be able to move in in two days. The refugees are very happy, and they are more energetic than the farmers he saw outside Xianyang City.

After the disaster, farmers only need a little benefit to rekindle their hope in life. This is the Chinese farmer's outlook on life, and it is easy to be satisfied.

In their free time, they cultivated wasteland under the arrangement of the soldiers so that they could plant wheat in late autumn.

At this time, Su Chen was particularly grateful to the deputy general who was guarding the city. With his help in reclaiming the wasteland, potatoes could be planted immediately.Fortunately, the living environment required by potatoes is not harsh, so the reclaimed wasteland has been inspected by Su Chen and can be planted with potatoes.

Su Chen brought bags of potato seeds one after another and taught eleven refugees to plant them.

Refugees don't know potatoes, but they know that the people above must do the right thing. How can a person who is willing to give them food and shelter for them not believe it?So they listened to whatever Su Chen said, without any communication barriers.This made Su Chen breathe a sigh of relief.I'm afraid that the ancient people were paranoid and refused to admit potatoes.

The deputy general and the soldiers didn't know Tudou. The deputy general saw that Su Chen was busy working on this thing non-stop as soon as he came back. He wanted to ask, but he thought that he must have told Fusu. Since the prince agreed, it would be a bit disappointing for him to ask again. .As lieutenants, they don't like to spoil their brothers' entertainment.

So even though he didn't understand it very well, he still commanded very conscientiously, "Yes! Just dig such a wide canal and throw the seeds in. It's very good, and it's a good job!"

Seeing that the deputy commander was doing well, Su Chen was relieved.He was really worried that he would have to run on both sides during these two months, but with a deputy city guard who cared so much about farming, he could relax a lot.

Soldiers and refugees worked together to plant the land. The seeds Su Chen took were planted in eleven refugee camps within two days.During the two days of planting, almost every refugee camp was full of staff, and the fields were full of people. Su Chen felt once again that there are so many people in China.

Until the third day after planting the potatoes, Su Chen observed that the germination rate was almost above 90.00%.Although it is not comparable to later generations, for the ancient people who planted potatoes for the first time, this kind of germination rate is not low.

Su Chen was about to congratulate the deputy general for his hard work, but he saw the deputy general and the soldiers looked surprised and excited:
"It's all sprouting! It's actually sprouting! Mr. Su is really amazing! This potato is so easy to live!"

Su Chen: "Both"?Where is "everything"?Isn’t there still a [-]% non-germination rate?
The deputy general strode up to Su Chen and said excitedly: "Master Su! The seeds you brought are so good! They have all sprouted!"

After finishing speaking, he still had a look of remorse on his face, "When you brought it back, you still set the spacing. I can't believe it. I'm afraid that there will be a situation where a large piece will not sprout. I really shouldn't doubt you! Fortunately, I followed your Do what you said! Otherwise, the land will be wasted!"

Su Chen didn't expect the lieutenant general to be so honest, and even told him about his thoughts and activities. For a moment, he really didn't know how to respond to this tough and honest guy, so he could only keep a decent smile, "It's good that it sprouts, I'm also very excited!"

The deputy general didn't expect Su Chen to be as genuine as him, so he was even more excited!This brother, he recognized it!
