Shi Yong looked at him suspiciously, and then shifted his gaze to the food.

"I'm a warrior, and I'm also a city lord, you should give me a decent way to die." He didn't think much about it, frowned tightly, and subconsciously said, "Poisoning food, what is this?" ”

When I was woken up from my sleep, I could eat what I was putting in front of me, but it wasn't a good meal. The cold nest is hard, and the stew in the jar has been shaken all the way beyond recognition, and it looks disgusting, reminiscent of something unpleasant and dirty.

It's no wonder that Shi Yong has this thought.

"If I want you to die, you won't have a chance to tell me that." Tianhao's tone was calm: "Eat them, eat them now." ”

His words revealed an irresistible majesty, and even Shi Yong, who was not afraid of death, couldn't help but shudder. Such majesty and momentum had only been seen in His Majesty the Lion King. Shi Yong had a feeling that if he refused the young lord's request, his fate would be worse than death, and he would even suffer unimaginable humiliation.

His face was gloomy, he reached out and picked up a nest head, with unspeakable anger, lowered his head, and took a big bite.

Tianhao stared at the changes on his face: "How does it taste?" ”

"It's too cold, it's too hard." Shi Yong swallowed the chewed food in his mouth, and said sullenly, "This is made of dead noodles, right?" It should be fermented with a little flour so that it will be fluffy and delicious. ”

Tianhao ignored the second half of his words, and stretched out his hand to point to the pot of stew: "And this, eat it quickly!" ”

Fish broth freezes at low temperatures. Shi Yong scooped up the already turbid solids with a spoon and put it into his mouth, he couldn't help but shake his head and let out a deep sigh: "Potato stew and fish are a good thing, but why do you make people hot and then give them to me?" ”

"How's it taste?" Tianhao repeated the previous question.

"It's okay!" Shi Yong felt very depressed, he raised his head and stared at Tianhao with a puzzled gaze: "You woke me up in the middle of the night just to let me eat these?" ”

"Tell me how you feel." The flickering light on the torch could only shine on half of Tianhao's face, and there was an unfathomable ingredient in his eyes: "The main thing is the taste, is there any difference compared to the same kind of food you have eaten before?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Yong was slightly stunned, he subconsciously took a bite of the nest head in his hand, chewed it carefully, and the puzzled expression on his face deepened: "The nest head is the nest head, what's wrong?" ”

"Are you sure?" Tianhao's breathing rhythm became long, and he looked at Shi Yong with a suspicious gaze.

"If you're just talking about taste, there's not much to say." Although he didn't understand what was going on, Shi Yong could now be sure that Tianhao didn't mean to play tricks on himself. He moved his lips and swept his tongue in his mouth to wipe the food residue on the surface of his teeth: "Did you have a problem with the transaction, do you think my people gave you a batch of fakes?" ”

Tianhao fell silent for several minutes.

Countless thoughts emerged from the depths of his mind, pierced one by one by him with the cones of thought, these illusory bubbles were not useless, they were attached to the foundation of the age of civilization, and they had to collide with the reality of barbaric civilization. As a dormant, the biggest problem is this———— too many things have happened in the long sleeping time, Tianhao is only one person, although he is a general, he is not an omniscient and all-powerful sage, nor is he a scholar who knows the evolution and growth laws of all species in the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom, he can only analyze this strange world according to his own understanding.

After a long time, he slowly opened his lips and instructed the broken tooth waiting beside him: "Go get some food and some wine." ”

It was almost dawn, and he was hungry after a busy night. The most effective way to stabilize an irritable and confused brain is to eat and allow a large number of brain cells to participate in digestion.

The guards brought a small stove, and Tianhao used a knife to cut the cold and hard nest head into thick slices, set it up with a metal grid, and put it on top of the red-hot peat to bake, and a very fragrant smell soon wafted through the air.

The radish is shredded and boiled together mixed with broth, which looks refreshing and very tasty.

Marinated venison is cut into thick slices, stir-fried with some condiments, and paired with a hot wotou, it tastes unique.

Shi Yong drank most of the glass of cider mixed with water in one go, he picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, looked at Tianhao who was sitting opposite, and asked while chewing, "You seem to be in some trouble?" ”

Tianhao replied: "Let's talk about corn and potatoes!" I'm interested in them. ”

Shi Yong smiled proudly: "This is the biggest secret of our lion clan, not only you, everyone is interested in them. ”

Tianhao baked a piece of nest head, he held it with his hand, waited until the hot feeling gradually disappeared, took a bite, and said in a sarcastic tone: "His Majesty the Lion King has done a really good job of keeping secrets. For thousands of years, you lion people have thrived and multiplied by them. ”

"It's a gift from the gods." Shi Yong's face was full of seriousness.

"What is the yield per acre of corn and potatoes?" Tianhao asked casually.

"Why do you ask this?" Shi Yong was very vigilant.

"Sort of gathering intelligence! Compare the production strength between the cattle and the lion. Tianhao sneered, and there was a hint of danger in his voice: "It's not a secret, even if you don't say it, I can also know it from other captives." I've arrested a lot of your men, and they don't keep their mouths as tight as yours. ”

Shi Yong looked at him deeply.

This cannot be considered a threat, but a fact.

"About 600 kilograms, the specific output depends on the annual harvest, and it can exceed 800 during the harvest. Corn yields are lower than potatoes, but they can be planted twice a year. Shi Yong, who had figured it out, was no longer silent, and he also let out a sarcastic sneer: "The Niu clan will never get corn and potatoes." For that alone, you are no match for us at all. ”

Tianhao trembled suddenly, the movements of his hands stopped, he obviously became a state of affairs, and let out an incredible hoarse voice: "Only six hundred? This yield per mu can't even compare to wheat? ”

Awakening parasitism to the present, too many things have consumed his energy, and there are also many things that he judges according to the standards of the civilized era. Tianhao knew that corn and potatoes belonged to high-yielding food species, but he had never understood their true yield in this era, and still felt that things were no different from before.

In the era of civilization, the yield per mu of potatoes often exceeded 1,000 kilograms, and now the yield is only 600?

Even if it is planted twice a year, the annual yield is about 1,600 kilograms.

Shi Yong scoffed at Tianhao's reaction: "I really don't know how you became a lord. In terms of yield alone, they are certainly inferior to wheat. In fact, the greatest value of corn and potatoes is that they do not require much land, even in places with little water. ”

In a few simple words, Tianhao felt that some closed thoughts in the depths of his brain were instantly activated.

Regardless of the era, the field grade has always been an important basis for judging grain output. Soil fertility, water source, temperature...... On the whole, the most productive plots are in excellent condition in all aspects. There is also a simpler criterion, paddy fields and dry land, "irrigation" alone, the former leaves the latter far behind.

It is impossible for all arable land to be good paddy fields, and the uneven distribution of rivers is doomed to the fact that many places on the earth's surface must be artificially built with canals, and even artificial means cannot change the cruel reality of soil water and fertilizer shortage.

In the era of civilization, the normal yield of potatoes per mu was mostly 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms, and if planting methods such as mulching were adopted, coupled with factors such as soil and environment, it was normal for the yield to exceed 4,000 kilograms per mu.

Corn requires a large amount of fertilizer, and the yield per mu is usually 800 to 1,000 kilograms. Strictly speaking, this number is not comparable to that of wheat and rice, but the importance of corn to humans is not the yield, but its strong adaptability.

It is drought-tolerant, requires very little soil composition, and can be cultivated in almost all mountainous areas.

Bonnal said: "Corn and potatoes taste strange and taste a little bitter.

Shi Yong said: The yield of corn and potatoes is not as high as you think.

Tianhao concluded in silence that these were not the two crops he was familiar with, at least the potatoes and potatoes that grew on the land of the northern barbarians and were cultivated on a large scale by the lion tribe as treasures, they had long since become unrecognizable.

Shi Yong chewed his head very hard, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks dragged the skin on his face, including the muscles on both sides of the skull, and continued to stretch. The deep black eyes revealed pride and contempt, the gaze of the victor, as if condescendingly looking down at the ants crawling blindly at their feet.

"You'll never get corn and potatoes from me." With his mouth stuffed with food, he let out a slurred smile: "I admire you, if we were in the same race, we would become very good friends, even brothers of the opposite sex...... Regrettably, I will never be able to betray His Majesty the Lion King. ”

Tianhao was holding half of the uneaten nest head in his hand, he suddenly lost his appetite, looked down at the clear bite marks he left on the surface of the nest, and said lightly: "You are a smart person, capable, and brainy, if you can, you should stay!" ”

Shi Yong is a very good manager, a qualified official, Tianhao has always wanted to recruit him.

Picking up the bowl, taking a sip of warm soup, and feeling the subtle touch of the food sliding down the throat into his body, Shi Yong raised his head, looked at Tianhao with a complicated gaze, for a long time, and said slowly: "Let's change the topic!" ”

Tianhao's voice was very calm: "Then there are only two choices left, kill you, or let you go." ”

Shi Yong grinned: "I guess you will definitely choose the former." ”

Tianhao lowered his head and looked at his hands quietly, Shi Yong couldn't see the expression on his face from this angle.

"I'm going to let you go." His voice was low, but clear.

Shi Yong fell into silence for half a minute, he did not show a look of belief or disbelief, he appeared unusually calm, his eyes were staring at the opposite side, and his tongue turned in his mouth: "This is the best news I have heard in months. ”

Tianhao raised his head, and a smile appeared on his handsome face: "You're right, we'll be friends." It's a cruel world, and friends shouldn't fight each other, especially since you're by far the best leo I've ever met. ”

Shi Yong didn't know how to answer for a while, and the tips of his left fingers trembled slightly, which was a habitual action.

With this time of contact with the young lord, he could be sure that Tianhao was not lying. Great joy and indescribable emotions filled the brain, as if favored by the gods, followed by intense excitement throughout the body.

"The Broken Gold City will never be your enemy." Shi Yong made a solemn oath: "Including my descendants, it will always be like this." ”

Tianhao's smile was a little cold, revealing deep helplessness: "Don't be busy thanking you first, your soldiers are not as lucky as you, they are my trophies." ”

"Can I exchange it for food?" Shi Yong didn't plan to give up: "As long as it doesn't involve corn and potato seeds, I can meet any request you make." You have to understand that their families are in the city of broken gold. ”

"You obviously didn't understand what I meant." There was a shining light in the depths of Tianhao's eyes: "Send their family over, this is one of the conditions I promised to release you." ”

The expression of surprise froze on Shi Yong's face, he opened his mouth wide, and his gaze was glazed: "...... I...... I thought ......"

Tianhao put the uneaten nest back on the plate, stood up, rubbed the crumbs on his hands, and said calmly: "This meal is considered to be my meal for you." Pack up and someone will send you out. ”

The change came so quickly, and the unexpected mood could not be calmed down for a long time. Until Tianhao's figure disappeared from sight, Shi Yong still felt dizzy, many words could not be said, and many questions were not answered.

……

Leaving the prison, Tianhao went directly to his office located in the city.

Pushing open the door, Heijun who had been waiting there for a long time quickly got up from his chair and saluted the young lord respectfully.

Tianhao closed the door with his backhand, nodded to Pingjun casually, and searched the surroundings with his keen perception to make sure that there was no abnormality, and then slowly walked to the chair opposite and sat down: "Say, what did you find?" ”

The Ministry of Intelligence has been tracking down the mysterious man in black beside Niu Lingxiao, the king of fierce bulls.

Tian Hao was sure where he had seen him, and his strengthened eyes would not deceive him, and the deep impression in his mind was only temporarily unable to overlap with the target, but he had an extremely deep memory of it.

"That person is Wu Yuan, the clan witch of our Lei Niu Clan." Pingjun's voice was a little harsh, and his speech was slow.

Tianhao narrowed his eyes, and his black pupils became extremely deep.

A strong sense of familiarity overlapped with the images in the memory, and the mist-like black clothes were blown away by the wind like dust, revealing clear facial features.

Pyeong-joon continues his unfinished report in his claustrophobic room.

"We have been monitoring Wuyuan at your request. He's cunning, maybe he's sensed something, and he's out of our surveillance while he's in Redhoof. ”
