The eighteenth year of Jian'an is an extremely important year for the Han world. (Pinyin for biqi u)

In mid-February, Yang Xi issued the first military order, which was to establish the Generalissimo Mansion of the Chenhe Control District, and Yang Xi recognized himself as the first generalissimo of the Chenhe District.

No one disputes this.

Yang Xi doesn't consider himself a marshal, isn't he a generalissimo? Anyone to command the soldiers and horses in Chenhe District?

In late February, under the first military order of the Generalissimo's Office, a total of 500,000 volunteers were recruited in other theaters, except for the Wuchang Strait, the Irrawaddy Theater, and the Jiaozhou Theater.

When this news came out, the world was boiling, and Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao all immediately discussed countermeasures.

What is the concept of 500,000?

It is equivalent to more than twice the soldiers and horses of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and more than 100,000 more than Cao Cao's total troops.

In addition to the water army, there are 500,000 troops in Chenhe District, which is a million army.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan were powerless and couldn't think of countermeasures, the hearts of the Shuzhong army were shaken, and many people started to think carefully about surrendering.

Cao Cao was nervous, dispatched troops, lined up troops along the Huai River and Qingzhou, and more than 200,000 troops were stationed in four ways.

Cao Cao was very depressed, and the Wei State Mansion that had just been established was about to collapse.

If Yang Xizhen attacked with a million male soldiers, it was really possible that Cao Cao was not confident in himself for the first time.

But how did they know that Yang Xi's conscription of 500,000 troops was not used to deal with him Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.

Yang Xi's conscription is to implement major internal changes, first expand the army, in order to ensure that he has the power to control the overall situation.

Later Dynasty Taizu said that power came out of the barrel of a gun, and Yang Xi had to ensure that no matter what happened, he could control it by force.

Backed by conscription, this was the first thing Yang Xi did for political reform.

In March, Chenhe Daily published data on the 10th that the total population of Chenhe District reached 50 million.

This is another terrifying news, although Cao Cao had expected it, but in fact he still couldn't accept it.

The difference alone is four times, and he Cao Cao controls the territory, with a population of only 10 million.

Although there has been some growth in recent years, unfortunately, there are too many places bordering the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and the population outflow is somewhat serious. Despite the sanctions, the legs grow on others, and Cao Cao can't control other people's legs if they want to emigrate.

I don't know who is making a fool of myself or what, but just after the March population data was released, someone in the next issue of the newspaper came forward to suggest it. The Chenhe control area is now close to the peak of the population of the Han Dynasty, and has the most powerful army in the history of the Han Dynasty, Yang Xi, as the first controller of the entire Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, is not as good as the emperor in the south, raising millions of male soldiers, and pacifying Cao Cao.

This exploded, and the newspapers of all counties and counties reprinted this article one after another, and by April, this kind of voice had become the mainstream of public opinion in Chenhe District.

Celebrities and scholars from all over the country are discussing this matter, but Yang Xi is the only one who is indifferent.

Yang Xi is waiting, waiting for something that can shock the world, waiting for something that can completely break the confidence of Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao.

The spring sweet potatoes in Jiaozhou, Panyu City and other cities have been planted for about four months, and the potatoes in Exian and Jingzhou counties have also been planted in March.

These two things are the big killing weapons prepared by Yang Xi.

The grain output of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the best fertile land yielded 3 stones per mu, 1 stone was 31 kilograms for later generations, that is, 90 kilograms per mu, and one acre of land in the Han Dynasty was only 0.228 acres of later generations, which was calculated to produce about 300 kilograms of rice per mu of land in later generations.

Moreover, rice is difficult to take care of, and the requirements for water are extremely high, and the real fertile land needs to be by the river, stream, or where the canal goes.

Sweet potatoes are not the same as potatoes.

Sweet potatoes like temperature and are afraid of cold, what they need is sunlight, and they do not require much water, so dry land is suitable for planting. Potatoes like cold and cool, and they are crops that like low temperatures, and they can be grown in large quantities from Jiangnan to northern Siberia.

Both of these crops can be grown on dry land, and what is even more terrifying is their nutritional value and yield.

Sweet potato is a kind of crop with high yield and stable yield, it has wide adaptability, strong stress resistance, drought tolerance and barrenness, less pests and diseases, etc., planted in places with better water and fertilizer conditions, and the general spring potato yield per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms.

The yield of potatoes is slightly lower, but it can reach more than 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Converted to one acre of land in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is an average of four or five hundred kilograms per mu, about fifteen stones.

The fertile land yields 3 stones of rice per mu, and it needs to be intensively cultivated, and one person and one cow can only cultivate more than 10 acres.

Ordinary dry land yields 15 stones of potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu, and 50 acres can be cultivated by one person and one cow!

It's a huge gap, it's just that.

Yang Xi is waiting for sweet potatoes and potatoes to come out, giving Cao Cao and others a blow in the air, accumulating enough political resources for the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, becoming orthodox in the world, and fighting the arrogance of the scholars.

It is better to knock the warriors into the dust.

Due to the small number of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the entire Chenhe District only planted a total of 2,000 mu in the first half of the year, but these 2,000 mu, once mature, will become 200,000 mu in the next season.

In some places, two crops can be planted in a year, so that the world's food problem can be solved in two or three years, and the rubber tree is a cash crop, which is the greatest significance of this round-the-world voyage.

Exian County, by the Caishi River.

Yang Xi is working hard.

Qin Qing also wore a hat designed by Yang Xi and wore a linen coat, like an ordinary peasant.

Fifty acres of sweet potatoes and fifty acres of potatoes are planted by the river, and the main growers are Yang's father and his wife Yang, and Yang Xi and his wife naturally only occasionally come to help.

By this time, the sweet potato vines had crawled all over the dry fields, and their leaves had completely covered the soil.

Even if it's a leaf, this is Yang Xi's treasure.

The leaves of sweet potatoes can be stir-fried, and their taste is sweet and fragrant, and Yang Xi has not tasted them for decades. Despite this, Yang Xi's family has only eaten three times.

The general trend of the world is becoming more and more quarrelful, but Yang Xi disappeared into the quarrel and never spoke out.

By June, after the three-month military training period of the 500,000 recruits, Yang Xitun transferred 100,000 troops and horses to Exian County to defend Chenhe Fort and reclaim Tuntian by the lake around Chenhe Fort.

As for the other 400,000 troops, Yang Xi scattered them among the generals such as Wei Gua, Tai Shici, Cai Kao, and Lü Meng, and continued to cultivate dry fields.

Cotton is a cash crop planted in dry land, in fact, in preparation for planting sweet potatoes and potatoes in the future.

Early in the morning of the first month of June, Yang Xi's family, many officials in Chenhe City, and reporters from more than ten newspapers, including Chenhe 10th Daily, Chenhe Business Daily, Chenhe Political Daily, Chenhe Economic Daily, and Chenhe County People's Daily, were invited by Yang Xi to the Caishi River.

Yang Xi wants to dig sweet potatoes today!

Yang Xi's saliva is flowing out!

Cai Yong, Lu Kang, Pang Degong, Du Zuan, Cao Zhi, Huang Zu, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Guo Jia, and the deans of various colleges of Chenhe University, as well as celebrities and chamber of commerce representatives from all walks of life in Chenhe City at this time, such as China Eastern Airlines Commercial Bank, Anlu Huang's, and Luojia of Exian County, a total of five or six hundred people, were invited by Yang Xi to Caishihe.
