Chapter 72: Great News

"One, raise your gun! Two, aim! Three, shoot! ”

"Bang bang~!"

The sound of explosions and thunder sounded frequently on the school field, and now everyone in Liu Beijun has completely adapted to Zhao Yi's training methods, and will no longer be frightened by the sound.

More than six months have passed since he rescued his father-in-law and returned home, and during this time, Zhao Yi actively trained the troops, especially the three-stage shooting in frontal combat, but on the other hand, he was most worried about Mrs. Sun, the side room of his father-in-law, Xinna.

If you want to ask Zhao Yi what he is worried about, it's not because the lord Xinna's Mrs. Sun is already pregnant.

Although Liu Bei stayed in his little daughter-in-law's room for a few nights, he was very drunk in his memories and didn't know what he had done.

However, this kind of private matter involving the lord, no one else dared to say anything, only Zhao Yi tried to approach Sun Shangxiang several times to ask for an understanding, but the latter didn't even pay attention to him, and even put up a wife's shelf.

"Ah Xiang ~ Ah Xiang ~~~"

On this day, Zhao Yi slipped into Mrs. Sun's courtyard again, climbed on the wall, and tried to call out his old friend.

"General Zhao, can you call Ah Xiang? If you want to call the mistress or Mrs. Sun, if you are so unreasonably entangled, I will tell the imperial uncle and pull you to behead! ”

Sun Shangxiang walked out of the house and could see that his lower abdomen had risen significantly.

She looked at Zhao Yi on the wall with cold eyes, and her tone was cold without the slightest emotion.

"Ah Xiang, listen to my explanation, the situation was urgent that day, your Zhou Dudu found someone to assassinate me, and after I came back, I met the people of the killing house in Hengshan, and almost lost my life there, and when I finally escaped from Hengshan with nine deaths, I have learned that you and my lord have married."

Zhao Yi seized the opportunity to say what he wanted to say first.

Sun Shangxiang sneered and said: "Editor, continue to edit, I won't believe any word of your current words, Zhu, Ge, Kong, Ming, Army, Division." ”

"Oh, that incident was just an expedient measure, at that time, the alliance between Sun and Liu was imminent, and our military advisor was seriously ill, so I could only temporarily borrow his identity to promote the two alliances, otherwise we would all become Cao Cao's prisoners now, where would we have the opportunity to quarrel here?"

"Anyway, it's always you who are reasonable, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, leave quickly!"

"Ah Xiang, it's okay if you let me leave, I just want to know one thing, is the child in your womb mine?"

Sun Shangxiang was obviously startled when she heard the other party's bold words, she looked left and right, took two steps forward and said, "You want to die!?" Dare to shout out this kind of thing, do you really want to be beheaded by your father-in-law? Do you know how much of a sin this is? ”

"Then you tell me, don't hang me all the time, I, Zhao Yi, am not the kind of person who gives up from the beginning to the end, I have calculated, even if you and the lord are really husband and wife, the time is not right, and the two of us were together at that time, with the situation of your current stomach is just right."

"Oh, our immortal disciples still know when women give birth, and they know a lot."

"That has nothing to do with whether the immortals are immortals or not, this is called science, Ah Xiang, if you say so, I will take you by default, and the one in my belly is indeed my Zhao Yi's seed."

"Hmph~ What's the point of you asking these now? Uncle Liu Huang is your father-in-law, I am your mother-in-law, there is a difference in generation, identity, and fate between the two of us, and all of this is caused by you! Zhao Yi, I want to give birth to this child and give him the surname Liu, and you can only call him the young master! ”

"Ah Xiang, you are still so childish, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get you from my old father-in-law, no matter what means you use, believe me."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you really want to die? I'm going to rest, get out of here! ”

Although Sun Shangxiang said that she was ruthless, she was still very worried when Zhao Yi said those rebellious words, but fortunately, all the female soldiers she brought from Jiangdong in this courtyard were confidants, and even if someone heard it, she didn't dare to spread it around.

Zhao Yi slipped down from the wall of his titular mother-in-law, and on the way home, he kept thinking, how to get Uncle Liu Huang to transfer Xinna's concubine to him? This is definitely no less difficult than passing five levels and killing six generals.

"It seems that this matter has to be pushed to God and the gods, and the ancients ate this set, but how to implement it......"

Thinking all the way, Zhao Yi returned home, Liu Wanyi was waiting outside the courtyard gate with a lantern, and as soon as she saw him, she hurried up to greet him.

"Wanyi, why are you still standing outside the door so late?"

"Come on, husband! Come and see, the sweet potatoes and potatoes we planted in the backyard are ripe~! ”

"Mature?"

Zhao Yi counted the days, it seemed that it was time to mature, he put Sun Shangxiang's matter aside for the time being, and followed Liu Wanyi to the edge of the vegetable field specially set aside in the backyard.

At this time, Liu Wanyi was taking the maid in the house to dig out a few and put them next to her, Zhao Yi lifted a bunch of potatoes by the light of the lantern, patted off the soil on it, and counted them, and there were five potatoes that looked ugly on the outside, but were enough to make people happy.

The sweet potatoes on the other side are also growing gratifyingly, and the amount he planted at that time was not much, and most of them were handed over to Ma Bochang, but even so, Zhao Yi estimated that just the ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes in this field were enough for him, Liu Wanyi and these ladies to eat for two or three months.

"Great~ Wanyi, in fact, this potato and sweet potato should have been ripe for a while, before the ground is frozen, tomorrow during the day, let the maids dig it all out, the vine that grows on it can also be used for stir-frying, the potatoes can't be eaten if they sprout, I'm afraid it's poisonous, put it in the kitchen after it's done, I'll come back from training tomorrow and distribute it, and level the ground and we'll plant some more!"

"Great, husband~! We only planted a little bit at first, but you see that there is so much fruit on each vine, did you tell my father about this? He'll be delighted~! ”

"I'll tell my father the good news early tomorrow morning, and I'll go and see how the big planting is going."

As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, doubling the grain will bring double the population, doubling the population will bring double the source of soldiers, in this era of food scarcity, the population is also an important part of the symbol of strength, that is to say, his potatoes and sweet potatoes can even determine the historical trend of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Is it possible to make a fuss about this......

Zhao Yi pondered for a while, first took Liu Wanyi back to the room to rest, and early the next morning, he did not rush to report this amazing good news to Liu Bei, but first found Ma Liang's eldest brother Ma Bochang.

Ma Bo often saw Zhao Yi looking for him, knew what was going on, and said with excitement on his face: "Hongfei, I was about to look for you!" All those seeds you gave me last winter were harvested~! As you say, the fairy foods called potatoes and sweet potatoes are very well grown, they have a shorter ripening time than wheat and corn, they are more productive than wheat and corn, they are also very resistant to drought and pests, and they hardly pick the soil.

A few days before the planting last year has matured, I have ordered people to put it all into the granary, after a day of points, we have harvested a total of more than 200 potatoes in this ten acres of land, that is, Hongfei said more than 10,000 catties, and sweet potatoes also have more than 150 hundred, the yield has greatly exceeded my expectations~! You can immediately report to the lord and use these grains to start planting on a large scale, so that the people and soldiers will no longer have to worry about hunger in the coming year! ”

Ma Bo often said with tears in his eyes, but Zhao Yi listened to the lack of interest, to be honest, this yield and his psychological expectations are still a little different, you must know that in his era, potatoes per mu of land 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms are considered small, high-yield land yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu is not uncommon.

However, when he thought about it, Zhao Yi was relieved, in this era, the planting technology must not be compared with a thousand years later, and what kind of chemical fertilizer and the like also have an impact.

But even so, for people in this era, potatoes and sweet potatoes are definitely qualified to be called "fairy food", and now that there are enough seeds, as long as they are planted in a large area, the next year's harvest will surely add up and snowball.

"Very good, Bochang, I'll take some potatoes and sweet potatoes now, and I'll go to the lord, so that more people can participate, not only find them work, but also fill their stomachs, this is definitely a great news for our army~!"
