Chapter 435: Spring Ploughing
Liu Xuan took his edict from the desk and handed it to Guan Yu and said: "This is an order to allocate money, food, equipment, etc., you hold the order to go to Mi Zhu to collect materials and form a guard as soon as possible." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes!"
Guan Yu responded with a fist, and his heart was full of passion.
When he returned to Huangxian before, he stayed at home all day reading books and practicing martial arts. Now that there is something to do, Guan Yu also has hope in his heart. Out of the palace, Guan Yu went to Mi Zhu to collect supplies, and then asked a few soldiers to help recruit soldiers.
After the notice was posted, Guan Yu began to be busy with the affairs of the Guards.
The army has landed, and Liu Xuan's affairs have been temporarily slowed down.
There is Tian Feng in government affairs, and there is Yu in military affairs, everything is running well, and it is under Liu Xuan's control.
Entering October, Liu Xuan drew the reward. This time, the reward is very ordinary, it is a bag of pumpkin seeds. Among the system prizes, pumpkin seeds are not particularly unusual, but Liu Xuan likes pumpkin seeds at this time.
Because of these seeds, Liu Xuan not only has the advantage of foresight compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, but also the seeds he extracted from the system.
These seeds are all strategic materials.
For example, corn, pumpkin, winter melon and other foods have a lot of seeds, and after planting, you can get a good harvest. Sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot be expanded on a large scale for the time being, because they are not planted as seeds, but stems.
However, once the scale was scaled.
Then Liu Xuan's army doesn't have to worry about food.
The hoarding of materials allowed Liu Xuan to continue the war.
Therefore, after Liu Xuan entered October, he put his main work on cultivation in the coming year. This is what Liu Xuan has always wanted to do, and now he finally has the time and opportunity.
Liu Xuan's idea was to circle a piece of land and plant all the seeds.
With an idea, Liu Xuan began to act.
Liu Xuan took Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Shi A out of the county seat of Huang County, and walked around the area around Huang County, carefully observing the terrain of various places.
Regarding Liu Xuan's actions, Jia Xu and Guo Jia did not understand.
Now it's winter, the weather is cold, and it's still wandering around, so it's really okay to find trouble.
After five days in a row, Guo Jia couldn't help it.
Guo Jia stood in the middle of the mountain, panting, and complained: "Second brother, we have been around for several days, and you have seen it all over the radius of Huangxian County, what are you going to do?" ”
Jia Xu looked at Liu Xuan, and there was a curious look in his eyes.
In the hearts of both of them, they were puzzled.
Liu Xuan smiled slightly and explained: "I'm going around around, and I'm going to pick an area to cultivate and plant my new items. As long as new items are planted, we will not be short of food in future wars. ”
"New items? Grain? ”
Guo Jia was confused and asked, "What new food?" ”
Liu Xuan replied: "This time, there are new things, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, corn, winter melons, etc., each of which will be the focus of my planting, and they are all treasures of treasures." ”
Guo Jia said: "What are potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.?" ”
Guo Jia is also a well-informed person and has never heard of such food.
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the old man has lived a handful of years, seen countless rare treasures, and knows a lot of foods that can be eaten, but he has never heard of potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods, what is this?" ”
Liu Xuan smiled and said simply: "A godsend!" ”
"Shhh
When Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
If you don't know Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan said that it was a godsend, and the two would definitely scoff at it, but Liu Xuan is the lord of the two, and in such a situation, Liu Xuan lied to them, there was no need at all.
Guo Jia took a deep breath and asked, "Your Highness, is there really a godsend?" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Xuanxin replied with an oath.
All grain seeds are drawn from the system, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a godsend.
Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, I'll wait and see." ”
Liu Xuan said with a smile: "What will surprise you, these foods will be strategic materials." ”
As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Xuan said: "In the past five days, we have walked all over the surrounding areas of Huang County, and I have already figured out the general situation. Where to farm, I already have a plan. ”
Jia Xu asked, "Where is it?" ”
Liu Xuan's eyes were confident, and he replied: "East of Huangxian County, eighteen miles away from Garo Bay. ”
"Garo Bay is more than ten miles in circumference, and it is a flat plain. Outside the plains, it is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there is a river running through the middle of Garo Bay. ”
"So, I chose Garo Bay."
Liu Xuan's eyes were bright, and he said: "I chose this area of Garo Bay for three benefits. ”
"First, having a river running through it means that the water source will not be cut off."
"Second, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to farming."
"Third, the surrounding mountains are conducive to our soldiers guarding the main roads and preventing idle people from approaching."
Liu Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "In the first year of cultivation, everything must be kept secret, no one can be allowed to approach, and the news must be closed." When it is promoted in the future, it doesn't hurt if the news leaks. But now, it must not be known. ”
After Guo Jia and Jia Xu heard this, there were more grim looks in their eyes.
Closed message!
For this alone, both realized that things were not simple.
This God-given thing is extraordinary.
Liu Xuan looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu and continued: "Cultivation starts in the spring of next year, and there are two things to do now. ”
"First, select a trustworthy people from among the people. Let them go to Garo Bay first, reclaim the farmland in Garo Bay, and sprinkle firewood ash to fertilize the next year's cultivation. ”
"Second, select soldiers to go to garrison, prohibit entry and exit from now on, and block the news of Garo Bay."
Liu Xuan's expression was solemn and he said, "These two things must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!"
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and answered at the same time.
Curiosity was aroused in both of them, and they wondered what the heaven-given thing was like.
What effect it can have, both of them are looking forward to it.
After returning to Huang County, Jia Xu and Guo Jia began to act. The recruitment of the people, the deployment of the soldiers, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the second month of the third year of Chuping (193 AD).
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
The arrival of spring has revived everything, and the people have begun to prepare for spring ploughing.
Liu Xuan couldn't wait in his heart and prepared for spring ploughing.
In the past few months, Liu Xuan has drawn prizes one after another through the system, including grain seeds, weapons and equipment, and books. It's just that today's Liu Xuan has special expectations for grain seeds.
On this day, Liu Xuan brought Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
Escorted by Shia's guard battalion, the group headed straight for Garo Bay with the seeds. This time, Liu Xuan will put all the seeds in Garo Bay to prepare for the next planting.
After Liu Xuan arrived, the first thing he took out was potatoes.
There are not many seeds of potatoes, and the cumulative amount is only about fifty catties.
In particular, potatoes are different from foods such as pumpkin, winter melon, corn, etc., and he does not have granular seeds. The method of planting is to cut the potatoes into pieces one by one and plant them in the soil.
Fifty catties of potatoes are planted, and the range is not wide, so you can only cultivate the next batch of potatoes and continue to do seeds.
