In fact, both of these problems can ultimately be boiled down to one problem, which is nothing more than high-yielding drought-tolerant crops.

More advanced farming techniques can also solve the problem of insufficient food production.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, up and down for more than 600 years, the temperature has been at an extremely low level, and the end of the Ming Dynasty ushered in the outbreak of the Xiaoice period, and the temperature reached the lowest ever.

Even so, the Ming and Qing dynasties were far more able to support a population than in the current era.

In particular, the introduction of various high-yield crops in the middle and late Qing Dynasty ushered in the historical peak of the entire Chinese population.

Such a large number of people is completely unimaginable in this day and age.

If you want to help the world and save the people, the best and easiest way is to let the high-yield crops that will appear in later generations appear in this world in advance.

Corn and sweet potatoes come from the Americas, and with Qin Tian's strength, the world is so big that it can be reached in a single thought.

Although he didn't understand farming, he knew how to practice and understand the avenue of heaven and earth.

Tracing back to the origin from the results, Qin Tian easily found the prototypes of those high-yield crops in later generations.

The emergence of a crop is not achieved overnight, but through countless generations of slow domestication.

Just like the wheat that people often eat now, thousands of years ago it was not much different from the dog's tail grass on the side of the road.

Therefore, these crops found by Qin Tian naturally could not be as high-yield as those of later generations.

But that's okay.

You only need to use the method of the five elements to catalyze it, so that it will blossom and bear fruit in an instant, and then find out the seeds that meet Qin Tian's needs and continue to repeat the previous process.

In this way, as long as the number of repetitions is enough, you can quickly get the seed that Qin Tian wants.

There is no time in the mountains, and on the red cliffs, Qin Tian uses his mana to sift through the seeds he needs, but the time in the outside world passes rapidly.

……

After leaving Changbanpo, Zhuge Liang knew that the plan to break the enemy for now would fall on Sun Quan.

All his plans relied on uniting Sun Quan.

If Sun Quan is frightened and surrenders without a fight, I am afraid that he will not be able to use half a point even if he has tens of millions of schemes.

So after leaving from Changbanpo, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei found a place to stay, and immediately sent people to persuade Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's side has been hesitating.

Cao Cao is now powerful, and now he is even more menacing, and Sun Quan has no bottom in his heart.

Not to mention that Liu Bei is so weak now, it is really difficult to persuade Sun Quan to form an alliance with Liu Bei.

Sun Quan is not a fool, and there may be room for mitigation with Cao Cao now, after all, Cao Cao may not really start a decisive battle directly.

But if it is an alliance with Liu Bei, it will be clear that he will fight to the death with Cao Cao.

There will be no room for relaxation!

On the contrary, if Cao Cao is ignored, he may be able to persuade Cao Cao not to go south after he occupies Shu.

As for the question after that...... Sun Quan didn't think about it that much.

In fact it is a question of right and wrong, either die now or die later.

Everyone has a fluke mentality, even Sun Quan is no exception.

Maybe Cao Cao's plan is not so big, maybe Cao Cao can't beat Jiangdong?

Maybe......

Countless flukes made Sun Quan hesitate now.

Although the staff under the account are all persuading Sun Quan, it is him, the lord, who makes the decision in the final analysis.

As the lord, he is responsible for his subordinates, and he can't make up his mind with a pat on the head.

So until now, Sun Quan has been hesitating.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang knew that if he didn't go out in person, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince Sun Quan.

In the past, Zhuge Liang might not have been so eager.

After all, it is they who are asking for help now, and being so eager will only allow the opponent to have room for negotiation.

They are already weak, if they let the other party grasp the initiative of discourse, even if they win, what can they do?

For Liu Bei, there is no difference.

Anyway, they are all under the fence, before they were under Liu Biao's account, and now they are under Sun Quan's command.

Anyway, no matter what, Sun Quan will definitely not give Liu Bei room to grow.

He's not that stupid, he raises tigers!

But now that time is pressing, no one knows what Cao Cao thinks.

If he decides to annex Jiangling, then the overall situation has been decided, and Zhuge Liang will not be able to return to heaven.

But if Cao Cao decided to attack immediately, feeling that time was running out, the situation would be even more dangerous.

If they can't unite in time, the two conveniences will be broken by Cao Cao one by one at a very fast speed, and it will be too late to say anything at that time.

So now time does not allow Zhuge Liang to wait, and Sun Quan cannot be allowed to think slowly.

As for how much benefit can be won in the process of this union, that is something that needs to be considered after the war.

The only good news is that Liu Bei's current strength is not too weak.

Although he was taken out of Jingzhou in a hurry, Liu Bei was not chased by Cao Cao as a lost dog, and even his wife and children were abandoned.

At least the current Liu Bei still has the strength to fight.

Although compared with Cao Cao's strength, Liu Bei is just a mantis arm as a car.

……

"I have heard of Mr. Kong Ming's name for a long time, and now that I see it, it really deserves its reputation." Sun Quan laughed loudly.

Zhuge Liang is also false and wronged, the two sides come and go, and the polite words are for a long time.

But now, after all, there is a request for others, and Zhuge Liang finally decided to take the initiative.

"I wonder what General Sun thinks about the general trend in the world?"

"What do you think?" Sun Quan glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then said lightly.

"Ben didn't see anything else."

Zhuge Liang cursed in his heart, but he knew that he had to take out something real.

"The world is in chaos now, the general raised troops east of the Yangtze River, and his strength is not strong, but my lord Liu Bei is gathering troops south of the Han River to fight for the world with Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang was not ashamed at all when he said this.

said that he was fighting for the world with Cao Cao, but in fact, he was just being chased by Cao Cao and jumping up and down like a rabbit.

But the facts are the facts, and in the final analysis, in front of Sun Quan, he naturally can't show cowardice.

Especially Sun Quan, he actually didn't know what Liu Bei's situation was now.

I only heard last year that Liu Bei led Jingzhou on his behalf, but I didn't expect that just half a year later, Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao and escaped like a lost dog.

Sun Quan only heard about the specific situation, and heard that Liu Bei was pitted by Liu Bei's unsuccessful son, so he is at this point now.

If it weren't for that idiot, Liu Bei would still be confronting Cao Cao in the West by now.

originally thought that Liu Bei had no strength now, but now when he heard Zhuge Liang say, Sun Quan couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Although Jiangling lost Jingzhou, I heard Zhuge Liang mean ...... Liu Bei still has the strength to fight?

Seeing Sun Quan's contemplative face, Zhuge Liang's heart settled down a little.

Although the tone is high, it is obvious that Sun Quan has been fooled, so the next words are easy to say.

"Presumably, the general should know that now Cao Cao has basically eliminated the main strong enemy in the north."

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "The power in this world is stronger than Cao Cao." ”

"Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the righteousness, last year was to eliminate the last remnants of Yuan Shao's forces and pacify Liaodong, which can be said to have no worries."

Zhuge Liang didn't give Sun Quan a chance to breathe, and continued.

"Now, Cao Cao is going south to break through Jingzhou, and he is powerful all over the world."

Zhuge Liang observed Sun Quan's expression as he spoke, and had a faint premonition in his heart.

"In front of Cao Cao's army, what is the use of heroes?"

"My father-in-law Liu Bei is also invincible, but he was killed by a traitor, so he fled here."

It may have been a fool in front, but when it came to this, Zhuge Liang obviously had a little more resentment in his heart.

"I also blame my lord for being too benevolent and righteous, and believing in that ...... too much"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang sighed, very helpless.

Sun Quan immediately confirmed his guess.

Although Liu Bei was forced to flee, he must still have the strength to fight, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not be like this.

"Liang didn't dare to deceive, he came here in the hope of using the general's power."

Zhuge Liang then showed weakness to the enemy in order to elevate Sun Quan's status.

After all, there are demands for others now, and if you still have a proud attitude, I'm afraid that you won't be able to accomplish anything.

Zhuge Liang touted Liu Bei before, seemingly putting gold on his face, but in fact, it was just to pave the way for this last sentence.

You see, what about Liu Beiqiang? In the end, it's not that you mistakenly believe in the traitor, and you still need to ask Sun Quan for help?

The negotiation has to make the opponent happy before you can talk about the next thing.

Raising Sun Quan to a high position is also convenient for Zhuge Liang's remarks next.

"If the general has the ambition to use the men and horses of Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao, who occupies the Central Plains, then what are you waiting for? It's better to take this opportunity to cut off relations with Cao as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang paused, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, but he was actually observing Sun Quan's attitude.

Sure enough, there was only a hint of hesitation on Sun Quan's face.

But Zhuge Liang was sharp enough to quickly seize this moment of hesitation.

"But if the general is not as I guessed......"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Then why didn't you disarm earlier and bow down?" ”

"It's not that I don't understand." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"That Cao Cao's forces are too strong, even if a figure like a general sees it, it will inevitably ......"

Zhuge Liang didn't continue, but the meaning was very obvious.

This is pure agitation.

Seeing that Sun Quan's face remained unchanged, Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment and decided to add another fire.

"Now the general is obedient on the surface, but he is hesitant in his heart, don't you know that things are difficult, and a catastrophe is about to come!"

Sun Quan didn't react, and after a while, he actually laughed: "If it's really as Kong Ming said, why didn't Liu Bei bow his head directly?" ”

"What are you struggling with now? It is better to surrender as soon as possible, so as not to be humiliated. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes moved slightly.

If he didn't know what Sun Quan thought before, now he is at least sixty percent sure.

Sun Quan was obviously moved by his own words.

Speaking of which, how could a task like Sun Quan be willing to bow down?

Zhuge Liang grasped this point, so that he had the confidence to tie Sun Quan to his chariot.

If he really missees Sun Quan, this person is not even as good as Liu Biao, then there is really no way.

Fortunately, Sun Quan was not as unbearable as Zhuge Liang expected, and things did not develop to the worst point.

"Tian Heng is just a strong man of the Qi country, and he still adheres to righteousness and refuses to surrender and be humiliated, not to mention my lord Liu Bei?"

"The lord is a descendant of the royal family, a hero, and unparalleled in the world!"

Zhuge Liang said slowly: "The corporal doctors in the world all admire the talents of the lord, and they have come to take refuge, how can such a righteous lord be willing to succumb to Cao Cao?" ”

After that, Zhuge Liang sighed: "Even if the big thing doesn't work, it can only be said that it is the will of heaven." ”

When Zhuge Liang said this, he kept staring at Sun Quan, seemingly talking about the will of heaven, but it seemed that he was laughing at Sun Quan for not being as ambitious as Liu Bei.

As for the Tian Heng he mentioned, it was a rebel army at the end of Qin.

After Liu Bang seized the world, he was unwilling to surrender, and finally hanged himself in the process of escaping, so his integrity was praised by the people of the time.

Sun Quan sneered, and there seemed to be a trace of anger in his words: "How can I, the hometown of Wu and 100,000 elite soldiers, be willing to live under the people for a long time?"

"Let me give this business to Cao Cao, absolutely not!"

Zhuge Liang was suddenly happy in his heart, knowing that this matter was already half done.

But then Sun Quan's words made Zhuge Liang frown.

Sun Quan's words changed: "According to what you said, even if the two of us are united, there is a huge gap compared to Cao Cao, and Liu Beixin has ......been defeated in the near future."

It's almost a blatant statement that you don't believe them.

It's no problem to unite, but now Liu Bei is just a defeated general, and he was chased by Cao Cao and fled in a hurry, even if I am willing to join forces with you to resist Cao Cao, so what?

To put it bluntly, Sun Quan just didn't believe that Liu Bei could play any positive role.

He was worried that Zhuge Liang was borrowing a knife to kill people and drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

Here, Zhuge Liang encouraged himself to fight Cao Cao, but over there, Liu Bei was waiting for the opportunity in the rear to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

At the same time, this also has another meaning, that is, to let Zhuge Liang show his strength.

This is also quite normal.

If you want to unite, you have to at least tell me what state Liu Bei is in now, and how much combat power he has, right?

If you are not willing to tell the truth about this, I am afraid that you will not have the intention of truly uniting.

In this way, there is no need to talk about union again.

Zhuge Liang naturally heard Sun Quan's meaning, and even he heard another meaning of Sun Quan.

In fact, he had already had the idea of uniting, but he didn't say it directly.

Because he is not in a hurry, it is Liu Bei who needs to be anxious.

Liu Bei was the first to face Cao Cao's onslaught, and before Liu Bei was finished, Jiangdong would not have any problems.

That's why he can pretend to hesitate and wait for Zhuge Liang to come to the door in person, so that he can grasp the initiative of the words.

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that he had been pinched.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who makes them weak now?

Sun Quan can afford to wait, but Liu Bei can't afford to wait.

Even if Liu Bei is defeated, it doesn't matter, then Sun Quan will appear as a savior, and then quickly accept Liu Bei's territory and power.
