Chapter XIII: Alexander
"This ...... It's true? Liu Ye thought that Yuan Yao would talk about the general trend of the world, but he didn't expect to talk about overseas, and the focus was on grain, but he was immediately shocked by the two-month ripening of Zhancheng rice.
He is familiar with government affairs, he naturally knows the role of this rice seed, if it can be introduced, it can double the population of the Han Dynasty, if the land of the three crops in that year is included in the Han Dynasty......
Ignoring Liu Ye's shock, Yuan Yao continued: "Further west, around this strait I call Malacca, is the Indian Ocean. And here is the Indian subcontinent; Or the Indian Peninsula. Although the area of this land is not as large as that of my Dahan, the land suitable for arable land is indeed several times more than ours, and the climate is also tropical, and most places can also be harvested three times a year. There is also a treasure here, called cotton, which is warmer than our kapok; It is more suitable for weaving than hemp; Plants with greater yields too! If you get this thing to weave into cloth, you can ensure that my Han Li people will not lack clothes and wear less. ”
"......" Liu Ye looked at the pictures on the desk and didn't know how to interface anymore, but Yuan Yao hadn't finished speaking......
"Further west, this is the African continent, which is about ten times the size of our Han Dynasty, and is rich in gold, silver, copper, and iron minerals; Further west, across the Atlantic Ocean to South America, the area is also several times that of my big man. There are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things that can be used as food here, and the yield per mu can be as high as 2,000 Han catties, even if we just transplant these grains to Dahan, it can increase our population tenfold......"
One catty in the Han Dynasty was about half a catty in later generations, so the yield of two thousand catties per mu is not an exaggeration. But speaking of this, Yuan Yao can stop, there are so many treasures in the world, such as rubber and oil, Liu Ye doesn't know what it is, just a few crops are enough to make him dumbfounded.
Liu Ye looked at the map of the southern hemisphere drawn by Yuan Yao with water stains on the desktop in a daze, and was silent until the water was dried...... This is...... The general said that this is ......"
Seeing that Liu Ye couldn't speak, Yuan Yao said: "Half of the world, the south of the world." ”
"Half the world...... Only half? Liu Ye couldn't help but be suspicious when he came back to his senses and said, "I don't know where the general's words come from, can I borrow it for the next view?" ”
"In my eyes." Yuan Yao replied leisurely.
“……”
Liu Ye frowned, but asked unwillingly: "Please forgive me, can the general prove that this is true?" ”
Yuan Yao got up, and also kindly helped Liu Ye up and replied, "Follow me, I'll take you to see!" ”
“……”
Liu Ye was still a little hesitant.
"Within two years, I will show you the Champa rice, otherwise you can abandon me." Yuan Yao made a promise.
At this point, Liu Ye knew that he was afraid that he would offend people if he was hypocritical, and it was a very stupid thing to offend Yuan Shu's eldest son in Huainan. Besides, it is worth spending two years to verify an unheard of world, and it is not for nothing, at least he has an official body, and as a member of the Han family, not every prince is willing to use him and dare to use him, so Liu Ye finally made a decision......
"In this case, please take a look at the world with your ministers!" Liu Ye paid a big salute.
"Good! Ha ha...... In this way, Ziyang is the first person under my account! Yuan Yao saw that he had finally succeeded in subduing Liu Ye, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with relief.
“……”
"Lord Qiqi, Huaiyin Buqi is here, may I ask if you will meet you?" The guards outside the tent suddenly came to report.
"Rub, isn't it! Is it such a coincidence? As soon as he spent all his energy convincing Liu Ye, Bu Qi appeared immediately, and Yuan Yao was suddenly under a lot of pressure.
"May I ask my lord, who is this step?" Liu Ye saw that Yuan Yao was stunned, so he asked.
Yuan Yao replied: "Like you, I am also a great talent I invited, but I didn't expect to be with you." Ziyang wants to help me include this person in the account, but I am not sure at all. He's not like you, I also know that you like trebuchets and can prescribe the right medicine, he and I don't know anything except that he knows that his abilities are extraordinary! ”
“……”
Liu Ye never thought that Yuan Yao would bluntly say that he had given himself the right medicine, thinking of the trebuchet catalogue, he couldn't help but say with a sneer: "My subordinates don't like trebuchets, but ...... Never mind. ”
Yuan Yao blinked and said, "Anyway, no matter what, let's see me first." ”
"No." Liu Yeli said.
"Please come in."
Yuan Yao returned to the main seat and prepared to meet Bu Qi. But the guards outside the tent walked in and said, "Lord Qi, Buqi is still waiting outside the camp." ”
"Outside the camp, why?" Yuan Yao asked in wonder.
"The lord, Buqi with dozens of followers, five hundred soldiers, ten thousand grains and grass, said that he wanted to sacrifice the lord to strengthen his momentum. Does the lord accept it? The guard replied.
"Ah, so good?" Yuan Yao couldn't believe it when he heard it, and persuaded Liu Ye that he was digging out his heart and lungs, and all the oil and water in his stomach were drained in exchange for a two-year commitment. Bu Qi is a talented cattle man like Liu Ye, why didn't he come to inspect and inspect, and he went to the pole to send troops and food when he examined and examined?
Yuan Yao couldn't help but look at Liu Ye suspiciously.
Liu Ye saw that he came empty-handed, but people were carrying big gifts, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and after a little thought, he asked: "Did the lord also send fifty heavily armored knights to recruit people like recruiting subordinates?" ”
"yes!" Yuan Yao replied puzzled.
Liu Ye suddenly explained: "The lord sent fifty soldiers, and he returned five hundred soldiers, so this is a return demonstration!" ”
"Dismount?" Yuan Yao wondered, "Do you mean that he is here to raise the bar with me, and he doesn't want to mess with me?" ”
"Mix?"
Liu Ye finally understood the meaning of the mixed words, and then shook his head and said: "On the contrary, the subordinates think that Bu Qi has decided to be the master. Or to be precise, it should be that the Huaiyin Bu family is willing to borrow this person to get in touch with the Yuan family represented by the lord. Huaiyin Bu's family knows that there is no such person in the lineage, and it should be from the side line. And five hundred soldiers and ten thousand grains and grass should be gifts that can only be decided by the head of the Bu family, and it should be impossible to rely on Bu Qi's identity. Therefore, the subordinates asserted that no matter what Bu Qi's intentions were, the head of the Bu family had decided to send Bu Qi to the lord and the lord, and the return gift demonstration was just to make the lord pay attention to the Bu family and give Bu Qiu a good background. ”
"Are you sure?" Yuan Yao couldn't believe that he had concluded that people would take refuge before he saw anyone, and it didn't seem so easy on TV.
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is the way for the family to survive." The lord should go and receive the gifts. ”
Seeing that Liu Ye was so determined, Yuan Yao didn't think about it anymore, so he led him and his guards to the direction of the camp gate, and after a while, he saw a ticket of people and vehicles standing about a stone's throw outside the barracks.
Yuan Yao came to the camp gate, ordered the camp gate to be opened, and then waited in front of the gate. He is the commander of a large army, and he cannot go out to greet people casually.
