In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest has passed, and after more than a year of cultivation, the corn has been harvested abundantly at the time of the autumn harvest.

Although it was still not enough as military food, it was not as tight as last time, so Zhao Qian used it as a strapping and distributed it to hundreds of officials.

Since corn is precious, it is quite cost-effective to serve as a fortune, but in this way, a lot of food is saved.

Of course, Zhao Qian was not compulsory, and it was completely based on the principle of voluntariness, but even so, those ministers and ministers still rushed to offset the Yulu with corn.

In Jinyang, when receiving guests, who can come to cook corn for a few sections, that is a reflection of the dignity of the status and the degree of attention to the guests.

Even, in the shadows, there is also the trade of corn, these Zhao Qian is clear, but he doesn't bother to care, as long as everything is still under control, then let them go.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao picked up the corn on the table in front of him, looked at it, then sniffed it again, and finally didn't hold back and took a bite gently.

A few corn kernels entered his mouth, and after slowly chewing, his mouth was immediately full of fragrance, and for Yuan Shao, who ate corn for the first time, it seemed to be a delicacy in the world.

After chewing for a long time, Yuan Shao reluctantly swallowed the corn in his mouth, nodded, and said: "Sure enough, it is delicious, then Zhao Qian will really enjoy it, and he can find this thing." ”

Xu You at the table smiled slightly and said, "Lord, this is something that you spent a lot of money to get from Jinyang, and this is something that only ministers can eat." ”

"Well, Ziyuan did a good job." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "You also borrowed Ziyuan's light to enjoy such a delicious taste, why don't you hurry up and thank Ziyuan?" ”

"Thank you, Brother Ziyuan!"

All the ministers and generals at the banquet hugged their fists and thanked Xu You, and Xu You returned the salute one by one, looking quite proud.

"Alright, eat it while it's hot." Yuan Shao beckoned, and everyone waited and began to enjoy the delicious corn in the world.

Yanzhou, Puyang.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Chen Gong, and Zhang Chao also sat on the seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fresh and strange thing sent by Meng Zhuo, don't dare to enjoy it alone, I specially invite a few people to come and share it." Liu Bei said with a smile, and the piece of corn he was holding in his hand was also a piece of corn.

"Big brother, what is this?" Guan Yu asked suspiciously.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "This is corn, fragrant and delicious, which is only qualified for the ministers in Jinyang City." ”

"I've heard of this thing, but I've never tasted it, and I've heard that Jinyang has used it as a minister's money." Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

Zhang Chao pursed his lips and said, "This thing is so valuable?" Can it be worth it? ”

"Meng Gao must not underestimate this thing, I heard that those ministers knew that they could use this thing to pay for it, and they asked for exchange, but the quantity of this thing is limited, and the income per person is not much." Chen Gong explained.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "What the public platform said is good, this thing was obtained by Meng Zhuo at a great price, come, come and taste it." ”

So, the four of them each picked up the corn in front of them and began to taste it.

"Well, it tastes good, I've never tasted it so good." Zhang Chao immediately exclaimed.

Guan Yu also nodded, Danfeng's eyes opened, and he carefully looked at the corn in his hand, but he didn't see the reason, so he narrowed Danfeng's eyes slightly and continued to eat.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "If I can achieve great things, why can't I taste such delicious food every day?" ”

"We will do our best to assist Uncle Huang and resist Cao Cao!" Chen Gong hurriedly said.

Liu Bei laughed, looked very happy, and said: "Today is a banquet, don't talk about political affairs, eat!" ”

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Cao Cao also held a piece of corn in his hand, but his expression was very solemn, and he said, "I didn't expect that there was such a strange thing in the general's place." ”

Xiahou next to him said nonchalantly: "Isn't the lord on good terms with that Zhao Qian?" If he thinks this thing is good, he will send someone to ask for some, then Zhao Qian should not refuse. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "This thing is not simple, have you ever seen this thing?" Have you ever heard of this? ”

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, they said: "This thing tastes fragrant and full of mouth, and after eating, there is still a feeling of fullness, why do the generals use this to deserve Yulu, and those ministers still accept it gladly?" Because it can completely replace food. ”

Cao Cao's words made everyone a little silent.

After a while, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, this thing is really rare, it can only be used as a tooth sacrifice, and if it is used as food, it is too luxurious." ”

Cao Cao shook his head again and said, "Once upon a time, wasn't wheat also scarce and precious? It's the same thing with corn, the general has discovered new grain. ”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Cheng Yu also realized how important this was, the so-called army has no food, and the army is in chaos.

Zhao Qian has new food, and it is such delicious food, it seems that his army will be very high in terms of morale and morale.

This is obvious, the two armies are facing each other, one side eats chaff vegetables, and the other side eats the same delicious food as the minister, can this mood be the same?

If there is a war, which side will be more imposing? Will it work harder? The answer goes without saying.

"Why don't you go to Zhao Qian and ask for some seeds, and let's plant this corn too." Xiahoudun spoke again.

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Then Zhao Qian is very cautious, and the one who is responsible for the cultivation of this corn has specially set up a general who is a pawn farmer, and there is an army to escort him, so he can't approach it at all." ”

Seeing that Xiahoudun was still a little unwilling, Cheng Yu said again: "Moreover, even if Zhao Qian really gave the seeds, who knows how to plant this corn?" ”

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't think about this matter first, it's not easy to get these corns, everyone will share them and taste them." ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone thanked each other and began to share the corn, and Cao Cao also took a piece, not knowing what he was thinking about while eating.

After everyone had finished eating, Cao Cao looked at them and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing at the moment is Yanzhou, if we can't take Yanzhou back, let alone corn, even if it's ordinary food, we will not be good." ”

The food problem has always been very important, if it weren't for the lack of food some time ago, he could have taken Liu Bei in one go, where would he have left time for him to form a school knife team.

The generals had a deep understanding of this, and Dian Wei stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the lord will hand over Guan Yu to Wei!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "General Dian Wei is brave, I am very pleased, but now Guan Yu is not alone, but there is a school knife team, and the courage of not one person can be defeated." ”
