Jia Xu looked excited, and his old face turned red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Great harvest!

A bumper maize harvest was achieved.

Jia Xu looked excited, and said quickly: "Your Highness, all the corn is in storage, and we have achieved a bumper harvest." ”

Liu Xuandao: "How many are the total? ”

Jia Xu was uncontrollably excited and said: "The corn harvested this time is as much as 80,000 catties, and the yield per mu is nearly 2,000 catties. Your Highness, after this batch of corn is harvested, wait for it to be sown next year, not to mention spreading it in Donglai County and Beihai Kingdom, at least it can be spread in Donglai County. ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "Wenhe, this is just the beginning. ”

In fact, Liu Xuan was also quite surprised.

The yield of 2,000 catties of corn per mu is indeed quite a high yield.

The seeds produced by the system are indeed powerful.

Jia Xu looked expectant on his face and said, "The old man is waiting to dig sweet potatoes now." ”

For the growth of sweet potatoes, Jia Xu is very much looking forward to it.

He had gone to the sweet potato field and rummaged through the ground. I don't know if I don't flip it, and I'm scared when I flip it. After a sweet potato vine is dug up, the large and small sweet potatoes below are hanging, and they haven't grown yet, and when they really grow, it's amazing.

Therefore, Jia Xu is extremely looking forward to it.

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "It won't take long, well, it's expected to wait another month or two." ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Xuan asked, "What about the harvest of pumpkins and winter melons?" ”

To this day, pumpkins and winter melons are still flowering and bearing fruit.

Unlike sweet potatoes and corn, this food will continue to blossom and bear fruit.

It's okay not to mention pumpkins and winter melons, Liu Xuan mentioned them, Jia Xu was even more overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, in terms of harvest, pumpkins and winter melons are the real harvest." Our soldiers and farmers walked around the fields every day, collecting ripe winter melons and pumpkins. Up to now, the number of pumpkins and winter melons in storage has exceeded 200,000 catties. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu said: "This number will continue to grow." On top of that, each pumpkin and winter melon has many seeds in it, and there will be more pumpkins and winter melons to be harvested in the coming year. ”

Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and instructed: "The pumpkin and winter melon harvest is good, but you must pay attention to store them in a dry and cool place, and remember not to be wet." Unlike corn, they can easily rot once stored in a humid environment. ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do what you instruct." ”

Liu Xuan hummed and said: "The preservation of pumpkins and winter melons can last for at least four or five months. From now on, pumpkins and melons can be supplied to soldiers. But the seeds inside must all be put away. ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded slightly, then turned around and went down.

For the rest of the day, Liu Xuan stayed in Garo Bay as always, taking the soldiers around the sweet potato fields.

As November begins, the vine leaves of sweet potatoes begin to wilt on a large scale.

On November 3, Liu Xuan arrived at the sweet potato field with soldiers and farmers stationed in Garo Bay. Fifty acres of sweet potato fields occupy a large area.

Liu Xuan ordered the soldiers and farmers to move, and at the same time asked Jia Xu to send someone to invite his civil and military officials to Garo Bay to watch.

The pomp and circumstance of digging sweet potatoes is worth a look for everyone.

After Tian Feng, Guan Yu, Guan Ning and the others arrived, they all stood by Liu Xuan's side, looking at the sweet potatoes dug out of the ground, their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces were incredible.

Guan Ning walked to the ground and picked up a large sweet potato.

"Incredible, incredible."

"Such a huge sweet potato is really unprecedented, unheard of, and unseen."

The sweet potatoes that Guan Ning took out were huge, about four catties.

He looked at Liu Xuan and said happily: "Your Highness, sweet potatoes are really incredible food. The sweet potato in the old man's hand weighs at least four or five catties. In times of famine, a family had enough food for a day. ”

After a pause, Guan Ning asked, "How to eat sweet potatoes, is it also boiled and eaten?" ”

Liu Xuan replied: "Sweet potatoes are different from potatoes, there are many ways to eat them, they can be eaten raw, baked, or boiled, and there are many kinds of them. If you eat it raw, peel off the outer layer of skin. ”

Immediately, Liu Xuan ordered the soldiers to peel the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes were distributed one by one and passed to everyone's hands.

"Click! Click!! ”

Everyone ate sweet potatoes, crunchy, sweet, and very comfortable.

It was sweet and delicious, and everyone looked approving.

Guan Ning smashed his mouth and arched his hand: "Your Highness, sweet potatoes are worthy of being food given by God." Sweet and delicious. The old man took a look, and there were six or seven more under a sweet potato vine, and three less. This food is so good. ”

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "Mr. You'an, sweet potatoes also have the biggest benefit, which can be planted and promoted on a large scale. When it comes to planting next year, the sweet potatoes harvested in Garo Bay can be spread in Qingzhou. ”

Guan Ning said: "Is this okay?" ”

Qingzhou is not small, and it is very difficult to fully roll it out in Qingzhou.

Liu Xuan replied: "After the fifty acres of sweet potatoes are harvested, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes. Hundreds of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes are used to cultivate seedlings, which is enough to be fully spread in Qingzhou. ”

After Guan Ning heard this, he looked delighted.

When the rest of the officials heard this, they all had happy expressions on their faces.

Such a harvest is too big.

Tian Feng couldn't help but be excited, he originally thought that Liu Xuan had the means and ability, but now it seems that Liu Xuan's biggest luck is luck. Even sweet potatoes, corn and other God-given things are on Liu Xuan's side.

After the civil and military officials were lively, they went back again.

After leaving one by one, the emotions in my heart were still extremely excited.

According to the current development, Qingzhou will no longer have to worry about food in the future.

At the beginning of December, the sweet potatoes were harvested, weighed and put into storage.

Fifty acres of sweet potatoes, a total of 400,000 catties.

At this time, Garo Bay gradually became idle. Now the main thing is to fatten the ground and lay the foundation for the next year's planting.

Liu Xuan stayed in Garo Bay for a year, and after the grain harvest was abundant, he ordered the soldiers to guard it and returned to the county.

After a busy year, Liu Xuan is rarely idle.

In Liu Xuan's busy year, Yuan Shao completely stabilized Jizhou, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu to seize Youzhou, Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Yuan Shu gained a foothold in Yangzhou, and Liu Biao also gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

The situation in the world is becoming more and more obvious.

The princes everywhere are constantly increasing their strength.

During this year, the number of soldiers under Liu Xuan's command has grown on a large scale, with a total strength of more than 50,000.

Among them, Xu Huang and Tai Shici each have at least 20,000 elites, and Guan Yu has 10,000 guards. In addition, there are also standing soldiers in Langya and other countries and counties.

All in all, Liu Xuan's number of soldiers is already a behemoth.
