Chapter 113: Seeds of Crops on the Other Side of the Pacific
"Lord, are these two reliable?" Xu Shu was a little worried, he didn't drink much tonight, after all, it was not the first time he drank immortal drunk. One of the cattle of a generation, this bit of control is still there.
"As long as we stay strong forever and keep moving forward." Zhao Yun said meaningfully: "How can it be reliable? What if it's unreliable? Except for you classmates, the rest is difficult to tell. ”
In today's era, the relationship between family, fellow villagers, and classmates is the most reliable. If one of the three rebels, there is no reason for him to be looked down upon by the whole world.
Speaking of the third surnamed family slave Lu Bu, why is he spurned by most people? It's because he's not loyal enough.
According to another way of thinking, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and Lu Bu thinks about himself everywhere, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
The generals under him, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and the like, are all pure soldiers, and they will be executed as they say above and below.
In the eyes of the scholar, such a person is the most undesirable, just a Chen Gong in order to take revenge on Cao Cao.
In the end, without the help of a strategist, Lu Bu's character is that of a strategist like Chen Gong, who is between first-class and second-rate, and he also does his own thing, and if there is nothing.
In the end, everyone betrayed their relatives and left, and was captured by Song Xian and Wei Xusheng, and the white gate tower became a guillotine.
For a while, Zhao Yun's thoughts were full of thoughts, and he sighed at the benefits of this era, but he didn't even hear what Xu Shu said clearly.
"My lord, I have never tried to do it in detail before." He expressed determination: "Looking back on the past two months since we met, it feels like the days were all in vain. ”
"The fact that a ranger can go to Yingchuan Academy is a gift from God. Meeting the lord is a blessing in his life. Poor students can put pen to paper, but can't they study detailed matters? ”
Zhao Yun bowed slightly, in his mind, the best leader of the fine work should be the poisoner Jia Xu, but no one has been found so far.
Cattle people have their own dignity, and it's not interesting to go to someone for nothing, like that guy himself is an opportunist, and he will only take refuge in the absolute strong, or wait until he meets in the future.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Zhao Yun frowned and motioned for Xu Shu to go out.
"Third son, haven't you rested yet?" This is Zhao Qingshan's personal entourage, the voice is more familiar, but the name is not remembered.
"No, it's not time yet." Zhao Yun opened the door: "Uncle Shan asked you to come over, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Zhao Qiu," he is not as stout as the ordinary Zhao family, and his body is thin: "I saw you when I was picked up by my uncle that time, I was taken in by my father, and now I am the commander of the other courtyard." ”
"Uncle Shan is so blessed," Zhao Yun smiled: "What happened to Brother Zhao Qiu?" ”
The times are like this, Zhao Qingshan is his grandfather's concubine, fortunately, he is strong in martial arts, but he is not very famous.
As the adopted son of the concubine, he can only be a branch of the Zhao family in the future, Zhao Yun is younger than him, and he still calls him brother.
"Uncle Shiping told my father that there are a batch of things on the ship that need to be checked by the third prince personally." Zhao Qiu was still respectful: "As soon as I got the news, Qiu sent someone on the ship to protect it, now do you have time?" ”
I'll go, Zhao Yun patted the back of his head, I almost forgot about such a big thing, wasn't the motive of the fleet setting off for the Americas to bring back the seeds of crops and other crops originating in the Americas?
A middle-aged man of moderate stature stood on the deck of the command ship, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Shiping.
"Second uncle, didn't you go drinking?" Zhao Yun was a little surprised: "Yun is still worried that you have drunk too much, the immortal is drunk enough." ”
"Old, the second uncle is no longer suitable for this noisy atmosphere." Zhang Shiping shook his head: "Go down to socialize, don't dare to relax, your brother Huzi has been guarding, and now he is running to drink." ”
Eh, Zhao Yun smiled embarrassedly, and he had already forgotten Brother Huzi, who he had seen many times in his childhood.
"The old man often thinks that Yun'er, you must have been sent by God to help the eldest brother." Zhang Shiping said, leading the way in front: "Otherwise, how would you know that there is such abundant grain on the other side of the sea?" ”
This is not easy to answer, and Zhao Yun also knows that he is not asking for his own answer, but just sighing.
Any traveler who has reached this magnificent era needs to pretend to be a god stick, and everyone believes in God anyway.
What can't be explained, it's better to hand it over directly to the ethereal immortals, for example, if so-and-so ancestor makes a dream.
The cabin where the seeds were stacked was on the lower deck, and there were ten strong men guarding the door.
When he saw Zhang Shiping, he hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the leader!" ”
As for the more than 100 Xiaba people behind Zhao Yun, only a dozen or so followed, after all, the space was relatively narrow.
"Get out, mission accomplished." Zhang Shiping also seemed to be relieved and waved his hand: "Go directly to the account room to withdraw the bounty." ”
The ten strong men relaxed instantly, it should have been their nerves tense for a long time, after all, the magic of these grains, only those who have seen it with their own eyes know how scary it is.
If such abundant crops were planted on the land of the Central Plains, there would not be much starvation in a few years.
The big guys are not from a good background, almost all of them were taken in by the Zhao family, and Gu all know how uncomfortable the days of hunger are.
The soldiers of the Xiaba clan are all strong and good-looking, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Shiping both understand that their combat effectiveness may be comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, and they are not worth mentioning compared to the elite of the Zhao family.
One thing is worth affirming, they are loyal, and Shangu told everyone that they will be members of the Zhao family in the future, and they will never rebel again, and they don't know the purpose of this trip.
Looking at the dazzling array of seeds, Zhao Yun's eyes were a little moist.
It took almost 1,300 years for almost all crops to reach China.
Among them, there are important food crops such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as oil crops such as peanuts and sunflowers.
There are not only vegetables and fruit trees such as tomatoes, peppers, beans, guavas, and custardsops, but also favorite crops such as tobacco and upland cotton, as well as clothing and blanket raw materials, with a total of nearly 30 species.
In later generations, because of hybridization, many seeds have evolved, and at this moment, it still looks a little unrecognizable.
Fortunately, with Zhang Shiping as the commentator, Zhao Yun corresponded one by one, and finally figured out what each crop was.
"What is this?" Curious, he grabbed some small particles that looked a little black but had a tinge of yellow.
The light of the torches at night was not very good, and Zhao Yun was not sure what it was.
"The locals call it gallberry, and after planting it, it looks like cabbage-like leaves, but it's a little different." Zhang Shiping took out some leaves from his sleeve and wrapped them: "That's it." ”
He also demonstrated in person, and after making a small roll, he lit it in his mouth and sucked: "Relieve fatigue." ”
"Tobacco leaves!" Zhao Yun didn't smoke in his previous life, but he occasionally saw him in the countryside, and he was surprised.
This thing can't be commented on, seeing the old smoking guns around you in your previous life can't quit at all, but it will bring huge taxes to the country.
"Tobacco?" Zhang Shiping was stunned for a moment, then snorted and sneered: "The name is very appropriate." ”
The Shaba warriors kept carrying boxes of precious seeds from the other side of the Pacific Ocean to the other courtyard, unbeknownst to them, that Zhao Yun had lifted the lid of Pandora's box.
