Chapter 1441: Words from the Heart
Youzhou was taken by Cao Shuo.
Tian Feng was officially canonized as the history of Youzhou Thorn.
After days of siege, Jixian County is full of broken walls, and even the city walls have collapsed.
did not stay in Jixian County, Cao Shuo came to Yuyang.
Jixian County belongs to Guangyang County, while Yuyang County belongs to Yuyang County, which is separated by hundreds of miles from each other.
Entering Yuyang, Cao Shuo looked at the street scenes on both sides and said to Tian Feng: "No wonder Yuan Hao chose this place as the place of governance, I think Jixian County is really not as good as Yuyang." ”
"I don't know if Gongzi has heard that when Gongsun Chan was entrenched in Youzhou, he vigorously expanded Yuyang, so it was more prosperous than Jixian." Tian Feng replied.
"Since Yuyang is more prosperous than Jixian, why didn't Yuan Xi choose here?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Maybe he thought that Yuyang was the only place that could collect money for him." Tian Feng said: "Youzhou is located in the north and has been invaded by foreign races all year round. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have been fighting for so many years, and the war has just ended, and the Cao family has attacked again. The whole Youzhou is very poor. ”
"How does it compare to Huainan at the beginning?" Cao Shuo asked.
"That's not comparable." Tian Feng said with a smile: "Yuan Shu is extremely poor and luxurious, what kind of palace do you build." No matter how good Gongsun Chan is, at least he has stabilized Youzhou well, otherwise it would be impossible to compete with the Yuan family for Hebei for so many years. ”
"That's right." Cao Shuo nodded: "But with the appearance of Youzhou, presumably Yuan Hao can govern it well." ”
"Childe thinks too highly of me." Tian Feng said: "Youzhou is different from Xuzhou and other places. Xuzhou and other places are located between the Jianghuai River, the Huai River on both sides of the fertile field for thousands of miles, even the 24 solar terms are also the original Huainan King Liu An set in Huainan. Regardless of the climate or the fertile land, where can Youzhou compare with Jianghuai? What's more, this place is adjacent to other races, and it may fall into war at any time, and I am really not sure that this place will develop into Xuzhou. ”
"War?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Where there is me, there will be no war." Whoever dares to bring war upon the people under my rule will be brought to their homes. ”
"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng replied: "But the climate and land cannot be changed. ”
"Whether a place is prosperous or not has little to do with the climate and land." Cao Shuo said: "Although I believe that it is better to walk thousands of miles than on both sides of the Huai River, I also think that the territory of Youzhou is vast, and the temperature difference between winter and summer is very large, regardless of day and night. A place like this is more suitable for crops, and if you grow cereals, especially rice and wheat, you will definitely get a good harvest. ”
"Rice, wheat?" Tian Feng asked in surprise: "Don't you think that this place is more suitable for millet and sorghum?" ”
"Millet and sorghum don't yield much." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "What I want is for everyone to be able to fill their stomachs." ”
"But the rice yield is also not good." Tian Feng said: "Wheat is still ......"
Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly reacted that there was no hybrid rice in this era.
Of course, it is impossible for rice that has not been improved to yield thousands of catties per mu as it did 2,000 years later.
In some lands, the yield of rice per mu can reach 200 catties, which is already considered a high yield......
Cao Shuo was a little annoyed.
I didn't know that I was going to come to this era, otherwise he would have devoured books on hybrid rice technology.
Increasing food production is the key to increasing population.
Otherwise, he would not be able to produce much food if all the land was used, and the population would be overswelled, and he would not be able to support it.
"Do you think rice is actually a magical thing?" Cao Shuo asked.
Not knowing what he meant, Tian Feng looked at him in some surprise and asked, "What does Childe mean by that?" ”
"If we cross a few different varieties of rice." Cao Shuo pinched his chin and said, "Or simply use it to cross it with other high-yield grains, do you think it will increase the yield?" ”
Tian Feng was at a loss: "I don't understand what Childe said......
"Forget it, forget it!" Cao Shuo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, wait for me to return to Shouchun and arrange Mi Heng to do it." Let him discuss it with Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong to see if he can find a talent who can do this kind of thing. ”
"Childe always has wonderful ideas, which I admire very much." Tian Feng said: "It's just that sometimes I think Childe's ideas are really imaginative, and people dare not imagine. ”
"Fantastical?" Cao Shuo patted his arm and said with a smile: "We haven't seen many things, it doesn't mean that there aren't." One day, people will be able to fly into the sky, soar in the sky, and even fly out of the place where we live to the boundless universe. ”
"The universe? Still vast? Tian Feng shook his head with a smile: "I really don't understand what Childe said." ”
"I'll just say it casually." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "It's just that thinking about it like this, I don't know what it's like." ”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people did not know anything about the extraterrestrial world at all.
At this time, people still believed that the sky was round and the low was square, so there was a saying that the sky was round and the place was round.
Cao Shuo knew very well that if he brought something that even a primary school student would understand in 2,000 years to this era, it would only cause an uproar and then cause an unnecessary controversy.
There is no way to confirm, there is no way to silence everyone with facts, and it is extremely stupid to suppress other people's ideas based on his status alone, even if what he says is correct.
"Childe is already confused about what I said." Tian Feng said with a smile: "But I really want to see the high-yield rice, if the yield per mu is raised, I dare to let the people of Youzhou let go of their courage to give birth." ”
"If you don't raise the yield per mu, you can also let go of the courage to give birth and raise." Cao Shuo said: "There is a lot of land, but what we lack is warriors who can defend these lands, and what we lack is labor that can strengthen these lands. ”
"I see." Tian Feng responded.
"I heard that in his early years, Lu Zhi lived in seclusion in the ancient military capital." Cao Shuo asked, "Has Yuan Hao ever seen him?" ”
"How could I have seen him." Tian Feng shook his head: "Duke Lu passed away more than ten years ago, and the Yuan family had not yet obtained Youzhou at that time, so of course I didn't have the opportunity to visit Duke Lu." ”
"It's a pity." Cao Shuo said: "A generation of loyal and good people actually ended up living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. ”
"The world is in chaos like this, where can the world still distinguish what is loyal and what is traitorous." Tian Feng shook his head and sighed: "I just look forward to seeing the peaceful and prosperous world one day earlier, just like the rule of Wenjing back then." ”
"I'm afraid this can only be done by my son." Cao Shuo smiled.
Tian Feng looked at Cao Shuo meaningfully: "Childe said something from the bottom of his heart to me today. ”
