"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Then you haven't heard of it! It's all over the city! ”

"Hey, look at what you mean, it's not ordinary, is it possible to know something different?"

"Of course! You don't know, my brother-in-law's sister-in-law's cousin...... Helping the cook in the mansion of Lord Juncheng, I was fortunate enough to be rewarded with half a sweet potato by Lord Juncheng...... Tut-tut...... That taste is simply something that only fairies can enjoy! ”

All such discussions have appeared in various cities in Xiangping, and there are many others, but I don't know how many of them are true and how many of them are bragging.

In recent days, Gongsun Yi and Gongsun Yun, who have tasted the taste of roasted sweet potatoes, will pester Gongsun Du to eat roasted sweet potatoes, not only children, but even Huang Qing, who is already a mother, also reveals from time to time when she can taste it again.

Gongsun Du probably didn't expect that such a thing could turn over such a wave. In fact, he didn't want to think about it, even in the later generations, this thing would be loved by countless people, not to mention that it is understandable what kind of changes it caused when many people are still underfed.

However, Gongsun Du's mind was completely attracted by another thing.

When the storm of roasted sweet potatoes weighed over the sweet potato leaves, the good news came from Captain Tuntian.

The sweet potatoes planted this year totaled more than 12,000 stones, and if these sweet potatoes were not used for seeds, but as military rations, they would probably be the rations of all the sergeants in Liaodong for a few days.

The harvest is full of more than 1.5 million stones, even if it is equally distributed to every household in Liaodong, it can also be divided into one stone and half a stone, which can be said to be a great harvest.

The harvest of more than 100 times really shocked the jaws of all those who knew it, like Wei You and Mi Zhu, although they were prepared for it because of Gongsun Du's reminder in their hearts, but when they got the news, they still couldn't dodge.

However, if you want to say surprise, no one can compare to Cheng Pu and other expeditionary soldiers.

Like Wei You and others, they just think that this harvest is far superior to other rice, millet or something, Cheng Pu and those who have personally planted sweet potatoes, clearly know that they can have more than ten times the harvest, planting more than 12,000 stones, and the harvest should be more than 100,000 or 200,000 stones, which is seven or eight times higher.

Cheng Pu and others were planted under the planting method explored by the Indian palm people, and it is normal for the yield to be limited, but the Tuntian school captains, with the guidance of Gongsun Du, under intensive cultivation, and a little, relatively reasonable manure irrigation, the yield has been improved, which makes sense.

Gongsun Du was like this, sending Wei You and the others away.

"The yield of sweet potatoes is unexpected, and it can be fully rolled out next year."

Gongsun Du's original plan was to spread sweet potatoes in most of the city, so that some of them could have enough to eat first, but now they don't need it.

"I just don't know what will happen to the potatoes and corn next!"

Because of reasonable farming, sweet potatoes are much larger and a lot more, and the yield of potatoes that can be compared with them is probably not too much, but the seeds of potatoes are much less, only half of sweet potatoes, and I don't know how much can be harvested.

And what will the corn look like when the yield is higher than that of sweet potatoes?

In Gongsun Du's expectation, the Netherworld sent to Xianbei sent back the news first.

After reading the message sent back by the Netherworld, Gongsun Du fell into deep thought-

"In this way, Xianbei should have received the news of Fuyu's betrayal, or was it just to completely isolate Liaodong, so he sent troops to Fuyu and Lou Ru?"

"Well, this possibility is very high, no matter what way you look at it, as long as it is completely isolated, Liaodong, which is small and widowed, will gradually fall into trouble, and then ......"

Gongsun Du was a little skeptical that Tanshi Huai was also a traverser, otherwise how could he think of such a method as "economic and geopolitical blockade"?

"Before, I was really afraid that you would do this, now, hehe!"

Gongsun Du sneered twice, and casually destroyed the news sent back by the Netherworld, but after thinking about it, he still gave the order to continue monitoring. Because he feels that this matter is probably not so simple, as long as he is not stupid, I believe that he can see that in recent years, he has not seen any weakness in Liaodong after breaking off contact with the Central Plains, but it is becoming stronger and stronger, and he is able to resist the siege of Xianbei and Buyeo and other tribes. Although there are certainly people who are not in line with each other, there are also Gongsun Du's plans, Liaodong is on the defensive side, etc., which is enough to show that Liaodong is strong.

Tanshi Huai can create the most powerful situation in Xianbei's history, naturally has extraordinary wisdom, he has already suffered a big loss, there must be other ways, and it is not just the guy who is dragging his feet like now.

Skip this stubble.

The roasted sweet potato turmoil continues, and the potato harvest season has arrived.

Unlike sweet potatoes, it is probably a little difficult to eat the above-ground part of the potato, and it is not impossible to raise pigs, but the difference is that the potato cannot destroy the above-ground part and has to be dug at the same time. In the end, most of it can only be left to rot in the soil and become fertilizer for the land.

However, as the potatoes continued to be dug up, the joy of the harvest covered up this little flaw, so that Captain Tuntian forgot about it and dug up the potatoes even harder.

Before it was too late to calculate how many potatoes had been harvested, it was time to harvest the corn again.

For corn, Gongsun Du's expectations are very high, even if the weight of corn seeds is the least, and the rest are only five hundred stones, but in fact it is the most, how many corn seeds can be in one stone of corn? Five hundred stone is counted as many times more than any sweet potato or potato, and most of the land in Tuntian is used to grow corn.

Even, in the stall of corn planting, there were not too many corn seedlings, and in the end countless lands had to be reclaimed for planting.

However, corn is also more troublesome than sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are dug up, as long as they are not damaged, they can be put back in the dug cellar and stored, which is simple and convenient.

Corn is different, if you get it back, you have to dry it in the sun or air, otherwise it will definitely go bad, which will be much more troublesome. In the end, under the guidance of Gongsun Du, one by one Tuntian soldiers turned into experts in braiding and made corn skewers with corn.

In this way, about half a month spent breaking corn and weaving corn skewers. Small portions of corn are skewered and placed under the eaves to dry. There are too few houses and too much corn, so it can only be a small part, and most of it still has to be dried.

In the time of drying corn, the weight of potatoes was finally counted, but it was a little unexpected by Gongsun Du, originally he thought that it would be the same as sweet potatoes, a hundred times, but he didn't expect that there were only more than 500,000 stones, that is, seventy or eighty times, although it was a lot, but it was still far from a hundred times.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand, the original sweet potatoes and potatoes are directly buried in the soil and planted, and now there are cuttings for sweet potatoes, although potatoes are also sliced, but after all, they are not as good as cuttings. Moreover, the size of potatoes is not much smaller than that of sweet potatoes, and if you want to count them in quantity, I am afraid that they are much more.

After thinking about this, Gongsun Du was left with the joy of a good harvest.

Oh. There is also the expectation of corn, who makes the corn formation "biggest"!

During the time when the corn was drying, news continued to come back from the grassland.

In the face of the violent Xianbei, even if Buyeo had Lou Ru's support, it didn't last long before he was defeated, and he had no choice but to retreat to Lou Ru to protect himself. However, Xianbei was indeed determined to destroy them, and under the leadership of Gřidoro, he pursued them to the territory of Lou Ru, which made King Lou Ru feel very depressed, but he had to fight.

Xianbei is so strong that the remnants of Fuyu and Lou Ru have a very hard time coping, and the two clans can only hope that winter will come soon, and let them retreat in time.

The mentality of getting by is unmistakable.

Time slipped away slowly.

The drying of the corn was quickly completed, and after the counting, the corn harvest finally came to fruition. When Gongsun Du got the results, his hands were shaking, and after reading the results, his breathing sank, and his hands trembled even more.

"Lord, great joy! A total of 100,000 koku of corn was harvested! ”

100,000 stones, it seems to be the least harvest among the three species, but you must know that the total number of corn seeds is only 500 stones, which also includes some broken corn seeds, which means that it has increased at least 200 times, which is more than twice that of sweet potatoes! (Suppose a grain of corn grows a corn, and a corn is about 300 to 500 grains of corn, and 200 times is not too much to get rid of the spoiled ones, right?) ）

Call~

Gongsun Du let out a long breath and said, "Pass on the order of a certain person, Captain Tuntian has made great contributions, and he will reward one stone of sweet potato, half a stone of potato, and one hundred roots of corn." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Xu's eyes were full of envy, but he didn't forget to answer: "Yes, lord, my subordinates will go and give orders!" ”

What may seem like a scarce reward is a great reward at this time, stronger than anything else. If these things are rewarded, even if Captain Tuntian's family eats some of them, they will be able to harvest more next year! This is stronger than anything else!

Subsequently, Gongsun Du ordered Wei You to prepare a banquet to celebrate the harvest!
