Chapter 137: A Heavenly Gift
With potatoes, it means that there will definitely be no famine in Huo Gang's territory in the future, and this thing pays attention to making no one starve to death in Huo Gang's territory, and it also makes Huo Gang have enough strength to collect the displaced people.
He has not forgotten that the next three years of Datang will be the first three years of natural disasters, maybe there are not many records in history, but there are definitely many ordinary people who have no way to survive and have to flee from other places to flee, as long as Huo Gang spreads the news of himself here through the caravan and so on.
is not afraid that there will be no displaced people to defect, although Huo Gang can subdue the Turkic people, but to be honest, if there is a choice, of course Huo Gang still hopes that his territory is Han Chinese.
If it weren't for the idea of fighting these homeless people, Huo Gang would not have given Li Er a horse, in the past three years, Li Er would never have been able to free his hands, and this also means that if he has a good relationship with Li Er, Huo Gang will have the strength to collect these homeless people.
As for how to deal with the relationship with Datang in the future, for the time being, Huo Gang will definitely not have a conflict with Datang, the reason is very simple, if you want to do Datang, Huo Gang needs at least three to five years to develop.
Similarly, Li Er also needs time.
Give Li two or five years, the situation in the entire Tang Dynasty has been extremely stable, if Huo Gang wants to fight at that time, the population under his rule will be at least more than one million, and the number of elite cavalry or infantry like Gongsun Lin will be at least more than 100,000, Huo Gang is a little sure.
The entire Datang is too big, and five years is enough for Li Er to stabilize the whole world, and when Huo Gang wants to completely defeat Datang, it will not be so simple.
To be honest, at that time, instead of fighting with the Tang Dynasty, Huo Gang actually had a better choice, that is, to go west, destroy Gaochang Kingdom, enter the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan in the later generations, and then go south.
Huo Gang's first priority is definitely to do the Indian Peninsula in the future, as long as he takes it down, it can be said that Huo Gang has no shortage of grain, minerals and other resources. The vast fertile land brought by the Ganges River valley is enough for Huo to feed the population of hundreds of millions, and he can even go east from there, and Southeast Asia in this era is no different from savages.
But there is a premise for all this, the whole An family will die! Huo Ling really has no relationship with Huo Gang, but no matter what, Huo Ling is also his father, this revenge, Huo Gang must revenge!
Huo Gang, an ordinary Han man in Liangzhou, will not kill innocents indiscriminately, but An Jia and An Xinggui, Huo Gang can say now that they are dead.
The sky quickly turned from dim to pitch black, and a bonfire was lit on the open grassland, in fact, this period Huo Gang was in this Western Regions, not as barren as in later generations, although there are still many Gobi Desert, but even the Gobi Desert, not like the later generations do not grow a drop of plants, some desert plants still have.
Even when Huo Gang lit a bonfire at night, it was easy to find some dead trees.
The time of an hour soon came, and a caravan appeared in the distance, and the banner of the Han was also erected on this caravan, seeing this caravan, Huo Zhenggong Sun Lin Although they were not surprised, they were actually very shocked in their hearts.
Because this is not the place where the caravan should go, and this caravan feels strange no matter how you look at it, because the whole caravan does not have many things and not many people, only a dozen people, a carriage, and the carriage is pulling a few sacks of things.
Huo Zheng and the others went over to inquire with the caravan first, and then took the people from the caravan to see Huo Gang.
"I've seen the general." The person in charge of the caravan bowed very dryly, "General, your supplies have been delivered." ”
"I see, you can go." Huo Gang nodded.
"Then I'll retire." The two sides only exchanged a few words, and then the head of the caravan ordered the things to be moved.
Huo Gang saw that there were only five sacks of things on the carriage, these sacks were not too big, if they were full of potatoes, it was estimated that they would be two or three hundred catties.
After unloading the things, the caravan left directly.
Huo Gang immediately walked over, opened a sack, and took out a potato from it, which was a potato about the size of two adults' fists, and at first glance it was a high-quality sand potato.
Huo Gang's previous life was famous for its potatoes in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, where some of the potatoes grew bigger than a human head, and even had a faint sweetness.
"General, is this the seed?" Huo Zheng and Gongsun Lin were both a little stunned, because they had never seen such a strange seed.
"Yes, this is the seed, it is called potato, it is a kind of grain, in this world, these seeds are only available to me, and its yield per mu can reach 8,000 catties, or even more than 10,000 catties." Huo Gang said with a calm face.
"Bang dang", the helmet held by Gongsun Lin next to him was directly frightened by Huo Gang's words and fell to the ground, Huo Zheng and Gongsun Lin, as well as several guards next to him, all looked at Huo Gang in amazement, with a yield of 8,000 catties per mu? ! Or even more than 10,000 catties? This...... Is this fairy food?!
What Huo Gang said is actually not an exaggeration at all, some high-yield potato varieties in later generations are more than 10,000 catties, of course, this kind of potato is more used to make potato vermicelli, or starch, and it tastes bad, but in this era of casually starving to death, is the taste important?
But for the people of this era, the shock ...... It's hard for them to accept.
Although Gongsun Lin Huo Zheng was summoned by the spirit of the Jade Gate, in their memory, they are not like this, in their memory, they are a complete person in this world.
So they know very well that not to mention the yield of 10,000 catties per mu, that is, the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, which means that they will never starve to death again!
"Will ...... Checkmate...... This...... How this needs to be stored. Gongsun Lin's voice trembled a little.
In their opinion, these potatoes are no longer potatoes, but living human lives!
"Don't worry, it's easy to preserve, Huo Zheng, you send someone to pack these potatoes, then carry them on the back of the cavalry, send them to Yumen Pass, tell Wu Ping how much it produces, and put it in a dry and cool place." Huo Gang thought for a while and said.
As for how to protect it, Huo Gang didn't have to worry about it at all, as long as he told Wu Ping its yield and how to place it, Huo Gang believed that Wu Ping would definitely protect it.
"Yes!" Huo Zheng immediately spoke.
"General, do you need me to send troops to protect you?" Gongsun Lin immediately spoke.
"No, there are no enemies in our territory, just let them go with confidence." Huo Gang shook his head.
"Yes!"
