Chapter 9 Saving Rice That's My Specialty

As soon as Zhao Chen stepped into Huaiyin City, he saw such a tragic scene, and he couldn't bear it, so he immediately ordered the food he carried to be distributed to the refugees.

But when he made a move, the refugees who were originally scattered around him surrounded him.

There are more and more refugees, three circles inside and three circles outside, surrounding Zhao Chen.

Several of Zhao Chen's guards pushed with open hands, barely separating the refugees from Zhao Chen with their bodies.

Zhao Chen also had to leave first, leaving a few personnel behind and maintaining the scene with a few lieutenant generals and soldiers.

As soon as he walked a few steps, he met Liu Bei, who came back from patrolling the city defense.

Zhao Chen immediately saluted: "Lord! ”

This is the first time he has become a minister, and it is also the first time to perform the courtesy of a monarch, and he is really a little uncomfortable.

Where did the ancients have so many etiquettes in the 21st century, if it weren't for Zhao Chen's familiarity with the historical materials of the Three Kingdoms period, he wouldn't know how to salute.

Although I knew the details, it was the first time to salute, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Liu Bei saw Zhao Chen's embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "The military advisor doesn't need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be like this." Here we set a rule, on weekdays, the military advisor does not have to salute when he sees me. ”

Zhao Chen was very pleased, this did him a great favor, this Liu Xuande is really sharp-eyed, admiring and admiring.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Looking at the spirit of the military advisor, last night's wine has almost woken up." ”

Zhao Chen said helplessly: "Thanks to Yide's mercy. ”

Everyone also laughed it off.

Zhao Chen remembered what he wanted to say, and saw that Sun Qian and Jian Yong were all there, and said busily: "Lord, now there are many wars, and you are starving in the wilderness. The people are the foundation of the country, and a country without where the people come from, it is not a way to go on like this. So I had the courage to give a portion of the grain to the people, and asked my lord for forgiveness. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Why did the military advisor say this, the people are the root of the society, and to help the Han family is to help the people of the world, and the military advisor will distribute food to the people, it should be so, it should be so!" ”

"It's not enough to just divide the grain temporarily, now that the number of displaced people is large, and the Huaiyin and Huaipu wars are before the autumn harvest, the crops in the rice fields will inevitably be damaged to some extent, which will affect this year's harvest."

Liu Bei didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked, "What advice does the military advisor have?" ”

Zhao Chen naturally knows that this is his best skill, he has studied agricultural cultivation for three years in college, and saving crops is the old book, so it is naturally not a problem.

He replied: "Lord, now that Yuan Shu has withdrawn the same way, and the reputation of our army has been established, the Yuan Shu forces left around Huaiyin only need to be attacked by Yun Chang and Shu Zhi, and they will definitely fall to the wind." And I want to go to the crop field and try to save the crops and reduce the damage this year. ”

Liu Bei thought for a moment, now that he has just settled in Huaiyin, there are still many things to do in Huaiyin, which has experienced the war, and let Zhao Chen go to see that the crops are a bit big and useless, so he said: "Do military advisors also know how to grow crops?" ”

"They are all from peasant backgrounds, how can they not understand."

"It's just a matter of letting the military division plant crops, whether there is some disappointment, there are other personnel to complete it, and the military division still has important things to do."

Zhao Chen understood what Liu Bei meant, it was nothing more than how to go after Huaiyin, how to deal with the matter of moon viewing in Guangling County on August 15, and who should do the affairs in the current county government.

He immediately said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the affairs of Huaiyin County are the most suitable to be handed over to Jian Xianhe and Sun Gongyou. How to go to Guangling County in the future, there are still more than ten days, Yun Chang and Shu Zhi will deal with the surrounding areas first, and Yide will lead the soldiers to rectify in situ for a few days, and train the recruited personnel for a period of time, and then it is not too late to go south. ”

Liu Bei saw that his careful thinking was clearly arranged by Zhao Chen, so it was naturally inconvenient to say anything.

"In this case, the military advisor is pleased, and the required personnel and military advisors can arrange their own."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Chen clasped his fists and saluted, said a few words to the soldiers on the side, and hurried towards the farmland.

Sun Qian sighed: "My lord, the military advisor is really a person who worries about the country and the people, and he has to handle the crops himself, so I'm afraid it's too hard." ”

"Yes, it is not easy for our army to have such a capable military advisor, we must protect it."

Although everyone sighed, they never stopped Zhao Chen anymore, and acted according to Zhao Chen's arrangement.

It is said that Yuan Shu led the remnants of the army to flee all the way back to Shouchun, regardless of the soldiers who stayed behind in Guangling County.

When he arrived in Shouchun, Yuan Shu scolded the table case overwhelmingly: "Liu Bei is a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, and he deceives people too much!" ”

A man with a long white beard and a ruddy face slowly stepped forward, picked up the wine bottle in front of the table, and said: "Lord, Liu Bei's plan is to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army at most, and he is definitely not the opponent of the lord. Now that Huaiyin and Huaipu can win more with less, I am afraid that there are capable people to help. ”

This person's name is Yang Hong, and he is a rare resourceful person in Yuan Shu's army.

"Oh? Do you mean that someone else defeated Ji Ling? ”

"However, I have already sent someone to inquire clearly, this person's name is Zhao Chen, the word is Houde, twenty-two years old, I heard that he has been tortured, with short hair, Liu Bei was just called before the battle with our army in Xutai, and now he has been worshiped as a military advisor."

Saying this, Yuan Shu became even more angry: "Huangkou Xiaoer, a person who has been tortured, actually exalted his might in front of my army, which is very hateful!" ”

"My lord, judging from the marching formation, this person does have a great plan, and it is estimated that there are few people in the world who can defeat him."

"Such a person stays in Liu Bei's army, so when will I be able to take Xuzhou! Zhang Xun! ”

"In!"

A burly man stepped out of the group.

Yuan Shu pointed at Zhang Xun and said, "Find this person, be sure to get rid of this scourge!" ”

Zhang Xun clasped his fists with both hands: "Yes!" ”

Then he left in a hurry to find his friend Liu Ping of Pingyuan County.

This matter is not on the table.

It is said that Zhao Chen asked the soldiers to pick a few experts in planting crops from Huaiyin County and go with him to save the crops.

The crops in the field were really as worried as Zhao Chen was worried about, and they were seriously damaged after a big battle. Occasionally, a few farmers are relying on their experience to save themselves.

In times of chaos, no matter how strictly the armies are controlled, there are always some unrestrained soldiers who act recklessly on the farmland. What's more, this battle of Huaiyin attacked the heart first, which made Yuan Shujun have many more deserters, and as soon as the battle was triggered, he was even more panicked, and he couldn't control the farmland or the road at all.

In this way, this year's harvest is indeed difficult to guarantee, and there are a few weeping women sitting in the fields on the side.

Zhao Chen immediately rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, took off his shoes, went down to the field, skillfully picked up the rice that was about to ripen, observed the broken place, and tried to repair it.

A series of operations stunned the guards on the edge of the field.

In the eyes of the guards, a high-ranking and powerful person like a military advisor is resourceful, and he should be a person who doesn't understand the fields, and he can't imagine that he is still so familiar with rice, and from the perspective of methods, he is still an expert.

"Our military advisors are really omnipotent, and they even know how to grow crops."

"So the military advisor is the military advisor, and we are the guards."

"That's right, the most important thing is to guard the military advisor, otherwise you will become a sinner in the army."

A few people chatted, but their eyes never left Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen tried to repair a few rice plants, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was still salvation, and immediately said: "Xiao Yi, go and call everyone over, I will teach them how to do it, so scattered rescue is not the way." ”

Xiao Yi took the order and left.

Zhao Chen roughly estimated how many peasants were needed for this entire field, thought about what needed to be explained to them, and instructed the guards to prepare the required items.

If the rice is not rescued in this period, the harvest of this half year will be gone, which is not conducive to the recovery of Guangling County and will also affect the development of Xuzhou in the future.

The farmers gathered one after another, but seeing Zhao Chen's young age, they didn't believe that he could save the rice.

Zhao Chen said with a smile, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty (thanks to the guidance of Wushuangguo Gongzi) was also a powerful farmer, and Zhuge Liang, who had not yet left the mountain, was also an expert in farming, so why didn't he know how to farm? Just kidding, this is my major, I'm a top student at Agricultural University, and I have one of the best grades in my major class, so I can't save this bit of rice? That's not for nothing.

He divided five by two, and used modern techniques to save several rice plants perfectly.

As the rice fluttered again in the fields, the cheers of the farmers masked their previous doubts, and it was then that they believed that the young man in front of them would be able to save this year's harvest.

After that, things went very smoothly, and these old farmers learned how to do farming, and all the fields set off an upsurge of saving rice.

After a day of emergency repairs, 90 percent of the rice was saved, which was already the best result, and the farmers were dumbfounded, waiting for the autumn harvest in two weeks.

This matter soon spread all over Huaiyin, saying that there was a Shennong, who could save rice from life and death, and no matter how tattered it was, it was said that it was a god.

It is estimated that Zhao Chen will vomit blood when he hears it.
