Chapter 450: No One Dares to Believe It
"How is this possible!"
"In the sandy mountains, you can grow 10,000 catties per mu!"
"Is this watermelon still a fruit?"
The strategists didn't believe it at all.
Tian Feng felt that he should say two words, walked out, and saluted: "Lord, what a coincidence." ”
"What's wrong?" Yuan Tan asked as he drank tea.
Pang Tong squeezed Tian Feng away and said, "Lord, here's the thing. Under my rule, prosperity and development, eighty percent of the people have been lifted out of poverty, but there are still two percent of the people who have not been lifted out of poverty. ”
Jia Xu immediately squeezed Pang Tong away, touched his beard and said: "Most of these people are mountainous and sandy, so their products are poor. ”
Not to be left behind, he walked out and said: "A few subordinates have discussed it, and they should be given policy tilt to help them get rid of poverty and become rich!" ”
Chen Gong hurriedly walked out and looked at a few military advisors before looking at Yuan Tan, "I just planted the lord's watermelon." If you have 10,000 catties, you will be lifted out of poverty in one season! ”
got out of poverty in one season, which is too good, and the absolute peak is recorded for 3,000 years
Therefore, the military advisers were even more unconvinced.
Xun You finally summed up and said, "Lord, what do you think?" ”
Yuan Tan put down the teacup, he really felt that his military advisors were really good, and they were able to study such a big project as fixed-point poverty alleviation.
This is also due to the fact that Yuan Tan has a yield of more than 1,000 catties of corn and other crops per mu, which makes Xun You's level of building a prosperous world more demanding than any dynasty.
"Advisors, you are really people who make the Prime Minister respect. That's it, we help get rid of poverty and grow watermelons. Yuan Tan got up and said.
Yes?
The military advisors thought that Yuan Tan would retreat in the face of difficulties, but they didn't expect it to get even worse.
That's a promise of 10,000 catties.
"Lord, you can't mess around, if you can't plant it, the people will be even poorer, this is a population of millions, and something big will happen!" Jia Xu hurriedly walked out and said the seriousness.
This is a national policy, not a joke.
…………
After the military advisors came out of Yuan Tan's place.
Jia Xu said: "This is definitely exaggerated. ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......." The strategists all nodded.
If you say 5,000 catties, the military advisors will recognize Yuan Tan's past achievements. But if you are 10,000 catties, you must not do such an ignorant thing.
It does not occupy arable land, and it is better to grow it on sandy and mountainous land.
Plant 10,000 catties on the sandy land, I'm afraid that Shennong will not dare to say so, right?
It's so good to blow.
The cattle are flying.
Jia Xu touched his beard and smiled: "Hehehe, it looks like this year is going to have a big fat year." ”
"Master Jia, how many times have you gambled?" Pang Tong couldn't help but ask.
"Five-fold." Jia Xu stretched out his hand.
It's so shameless that he dares to ask the Lord for five times as much.
Pang Tong they were shocked.
You must know that Pang Tong is still very subtle, and he doesn't dare to win Yuan Tan too much. But now I regret it, after all, if you go to five years a year, you can change a lot of large items at home.
"Actually, I'm going to bet ten times, I'm afraid that I'll win too much." Jia Xu said.
Pang Tong looked at Jia Xu, who spoke earnestly, and pulled it over.
The next day, the morning meeting.
On the top of the main hall, before the civil and military officials, Yuan Tan proposed a fixed-point poverty alleviation plan.
"With the help of the imperial court, all the ministries of the three princes and the nine ministers must give priority to completing the task of poverty alleviation."
"Officials of all ministries with less than 2,000 stone must be covered by households."
Yuan Tan ordered them one by one, and ordered officials to go to the countryside to help the people grow watermelons. After all, most of the people at this time were illiterate, and it was not possible to plant new crops without guidance.
"Prime Minister, how many catties of your fruit production capacity per mu?" Ma Riyan, a diehard member of the Han family, asked.
The officials all pricked up their ears.
"Why do you have 10,000 catties?"
Yuan Tan's voice did not fall, and the court blew up the pot.
From Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Ma Riyan and Dong Cheng, these die-hard loyalists, that is, Wang Lang and Guo Tu, the courtiers loyal to Yuan Tan, were all shocked.
10,000 catties?
It is already a miracle to produce more than 1,000 catties per mu, and you still want 10,000 catties?
It's shrimp.
Ma Riyan immediately stood up, his crutch tapping on the marble floor, "I am against it, I resolutely resist this kind of false, exaggerated, and false way to make a reputation." ”
Dong Cheng also stood up, looked at Yuan Tan with a straight face, and said to the hundred officials: "I never thought that a person like the prime minister would use poverty alleviation to make fake political achievements!" ”
"How can you say that?" Wang Lang stood up and said dissatisfied.
"10,000 catties, do you believe it, Lord Wang?" Ma Riyan asked lightly.
"I ...... I believe. ”
Everyone can see that Wang Lang is not confident.
"Hehehe......." Yuan Tan smiled.
"Hehehe......." Ma Riyan also smiled.
Ma Riyan's heart moved, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to hit Yuan Tan's prestige, so he said: "Since Yuan Tan is so confident, can you bet?" ”
"No problem." Yuan Tan said calmly.
"Okay, can I bet on anything?" Ma Riyan attacked.
"There is no reason for this to refuse." Yuan Tan said with a smile.
Ma Riyan immediately knocked on his crutch, "I bet on eating." ”
"Ahh The hundred officials were shocked, it seemed that the old lady was embarrassed in order to make Yuan Tan stink.
Yuan Tan didn't expect to bet on this, not to mention shamelessness, it was simply shameless.
"Do you dare?" Ma Riyan continued to attack.
The officials on Yuan Tan's side were furious, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu also brought people around.
Yuan Tan motioned to Dian Wei and them to be calm, "Okay, bet!" ”
Once again, the officials were shocked.
The people on Emperor Han Xian's side were excited, as if they had won a big victory.
"Lord, you shouldn't have promised Ma Riyan."
After leaving the palace, Xun Yu and they all complained.
"Actually, just find a jailer and kill Ma Riyan." Jia Xu said lightly.
Yuan Tan shook his head, "Ma Riyan, this old man is old, he is a hero who is not afraid of death, killing him will fulfill his reputation." Isn't he going to make a bet? When he loses, it's worse than killing him. ”
Jia Xu and they looked at each other, how could they win?
…………
In the days that followed.
Yuan Tan started the vegetable basket project and proposed: to promote the development of dietary structure, promote farmers' income, increase people's nutrition, and pay attention to the health of the whole people.
The vegetable basket project is too large, so it is a series, and the first step is to grow watermelons.
Yuan Tan got a lot of seeds of exotic vegetables from the system, and it was also to let people know the benefits of new crops so that they could promote other crops.
At the same time, planting such a crop, which is not available in the whole world, must be very gold-absorbing.
It is also necessary to invest a new variety a year to attract gold.
Of course, it is the gold of the princes such as Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang, as well as the gold of the merchants of the grassland and the Silk Road in the Western Regions.
Therefore, Yuan Tan's focus is on poor households, and only poor households are qualified to grow watermelons, which is also the strategy of the imperial court to alleviate poverty.
this day.
Yuan Tan found Zao, a famous agriculturist in the Three Kingdoms era.
Cao Cao's tuntian was made by Zao, and this person has a lot of experience in agriculture.
And because Cao Cao had already defeated Chang'an, far away from the Central Plains.
Many of Cao Cao's officials surrendered to Yuan Tan.
And Yuan Tan is Cao Jie's husband, with the Cao family, many relatives of the Xiahou family have surrendered, and others have no psychological burden.
Therefore, almost all of Cao Cao's backbone officials were accepted, such as Chen Jiao, Zhong Xuan, Jiang Ji, and Dong Zhao.
These people are all important ministers after the founding of Cao Wei and are capable. Their presence also allowed Yuan Tan's Central Plains region to quickly restore stability.
