The Yuan clan sent twenty people to find Yang An, all of these twenty people took refuge in her, their skills were just ordinary, and they could only deal with ordinary people, but in Yuan's opinion, Yang An was a weak man, and the three followers who followed him would only be able to slap the horse, and without other skills, twenty people would definitely be able to destroy four people. When they came back, they said that they hadn't found Yang An, who could suspect her? At that time, her son will be able to inherit the state mansion openly. If it weren't for the fact that Lao Guogong was still alive before, she was afraid of killing Yang An, and the Lao Guogong would investigate, she would have killed Yang An a long time ago.

Yang An didn't know that the Yuan clan had sent someone to kill him, and he was beating people now. In these years, big families will raise private soldiers, and the Yang family is no exception, and there are quite a few of them. Yang Zhen was afraid that the emperor would be jealous, so he did not let the emperor know about the existence of this part of the private soldiers, nor did he tell his son, but only gave Yang An the token of the commander's private soldiers before he died. Yang An is here to receive private soldiers this time. However, the private soldiers looked at his childish little face and were not convinced of this one commander, even if he was the grandson of the old prince. Moreover, those generals have also heard of Yang An's name in the capital, how can they obey Yang An's management?

Since you don't obey the rules, let's fight! The belief in the military is the supremacy of strength.

So, Yang An began to beat people, first one-on-one, then one-on-two, one-on-three...... In the end, all the generals besieged Yang An together, but they were still beaten down by Yang An.

The crowd finally understood what it meant to be invisible.

"The little general is worthy of being the grandson of Grandpa Guo." A general surnamed Su gave Yang An a thumbs up.

Yang An smiled: "I was taught by my grandfather himself." ”

General Su asked suspiciously: "Since the little general was taught by the old grandfather, why is it rumored in the capital that the little general is a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun, and disgrace the Guogong Mansion?" ”

"Because—" Yang settled for a moment, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, he announced the answer, "The emperor doesn't want the descendants of the Zhenguo Mansion to be too good, and my grandfather asked me to hide it." ”

"Oh......" Everyone understood that the old town prince let his grandson pretend to be a gentleman out of the emperor's jealousy.

Yang An glanced at everyone and did not say the words that the Yuan clan deliberately guided him to do. He didn't want these generals to hate Shang Yang Chen because of the Yuan clan. Although Yang Chen is the son of the Yuan family, he was taught well by Yang Peng and the Yuan family and was very upright.

Yang An took up residence in the barracks. In order not to be exposed, the barracks were built in a valley in the mountains, and the logisticians went out of the valley every once in a while to purchase food. Because of the leisurely money and the fear of being discovered by someone who bought too much food, the amount of food purchased each time was not very large, so that the soldiers could not fully eat, and could only eat two meals a day, or one dry. But just like that, the soldiers were already satisfied.

"Even the people in the emperor's army don't eat as well as us." The general surnamed Huo said, "They also eat two meals a day, and they all eat gruel, unlike us who can eat one dry meal a day, and occasionally they can come back from hunting to improve their food." ”

Yang An took a sip of gruel—he refused to open a small stove for himself, and ate all meals with the soldiers, eating the same Dongxu—and said, "Why don't you grow your own food?" ”

"Huh? Grow your own? The generals were dumbfounded.

General Su said: "We are soldiers, how can we farm?" ”

Yang An: "The art of the husband to determine the country lies in strengthening the army and having enough food, the Qin people are eager to agriculture and the world, and filial piety is to set the Western Regions with Tuntian, and this ancestor is also a good style."

Yang An: "Eating well is the most important thing for soldiers, where does a hungry soldier have the strength to fight?" You live in a valley where there is a lot of open space for farming, so you can let the soldiers clean it up and cultivate it after training, and after harvesting the grain, you can also give everyone an extra meal a day. ”

Hearing this, the generals turned around left and right to discuss with each other, and finally felt that Yang An's method was feasible.

Yang took things from his sleeves, took potatoes and corn from the storage compartment, flattened his hands, and stretched them out under everyone's noses.

"These two things, one is called potatoes and the other is corn, and they are the high-yielding grains that I have people to retrieve from far abroad. After potatoes are planted, the yield per mu can reach 1,000 catties, and the yield of corn can also reach 6 or 700 catties per mu. ”

"Kilograms?" The eyes of the crowd widened in unison, and they thought they were hallucinating at the same time.

"That, little general, you, you can't say the wrong number, right?" General Huo asked hesitantly, he didn't want to question the little general, but the little general said it was too outrageous. Although he is not from a peasant family, he has many peasant children under him, and from their mouths, he knows the average yield of grain per mu today: 200 catties. This is still the result of good weather conditions, and if there is any natural disaster during the period, the output will be reduced a lot.

"Nope." "It is precisely because I know the yield of these two crops that I will let people go overseas to find them." Thankfully, I was lucky enough to find both crops. ”

"That's great." General Su slapped his thigh, "If there is really such a high yield, we won't have to go hungry in the future." Eat as many meals as you want every day. ”

General Sun's adjutant general, General Chen, reminded him: "General Su, there is only such a small amount of potatoes and corn, and I don't know how long it will take to grow enough food for us to eat!" ”

"Uh......" General Su's smile froze.

Yang An smiled: "Every corn kernel on the corn is a seed, and the potatoes can also be cut into pieces and planted after they sprout, and a potato can be divided into more than a dozen pieces." Plant a batch first, then plant it. Both crops can be planted twice a year, and in less than three years they will be able to grow potatoes and corn for the whole army. During this period, some other food was planted to ensure that everyone could eat two meals a day. ”

"Yes, little general. Thank you, little general. The soldiers happily answered, and the next day they were in full swing to plow the fields. Yang An took out the silver money and asked people to go out of the mountain to buy good seeds and tools. When Yang An left the Zhenguo Mansion, he planned to come to the valley barracks, and helped him get it in front of what was lacking in the barracks, so he brought a lot of money with him - as long as he asked for money, the Yuan clan would give it to him without asking for a reason, and he must raise him to be a gentleman and a loser, so as to save her a lot of trouble.

When the farm tools were bought back to the mountain, Yang An saw the straight plow, and then he remembered that the curved plow had not yet been invented, and everyone used the inefficient straight plow.

Yang An asked General Su: "Are there any carpenters among the soldiers?" Find a few to help me with things. ”
