Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Sun Jian was advised to fake his death and plot to seize Jingzhou.

"Lord, you're here!"

After Xiao Zhe walked to the front hall, Father Fan and Father Deng arrived together.

Since Xiao Zhe already had a family, men could not be allowed in the backyard, so after the two discussed, they only arranged maids in the backyard.

If you want to see Xiao Zhe, you have to go through Fan Juan.

Of course, this kind of arrangement also has Fan's father's own careful thinking, and he knows that his family depends on the relationship between Fan Juan and Xiao Zhe.

This arrangement is also to allow Fan Juan to take the position.

Xiao Zhe naturally knew about Father Fan's careful thoughts, but he didn't care about it, because Fan Juan was also his first woman, and he had to be corrected early in the evening.

It is also human nature for Father Fan to have these thoughts.

When he saw them coming, he sat down and smiled at them:

"I wonder what the two stewards are looking for me?"

As soon as his words fell, Father Fan was a little embarrassed:

"It stands to reason that the sovereign has a lot of opportunities, and these little things should not bother the sovereign. "

"But now that the autumn harvest is coming, I'm afraid that our family treasury will not be able to hold on, and I and Brother Deng will have to report to the lord. "

"What, isn't there enough money in the house?"

Xiao Zhe heard a difference, it stands to reason that Sun Jian has received a lot of rewards this year, and his family should not be short of money!

As soon as he said this, the two of them were stunned, and then Father Deng smiled bitterly:

"It's not that the money is not enough, our family has also purchased a lot of properties in the past two years, so there is no need to worry about money. "

"Brother Fan was worried about the corn that the lord had ordered to be planted before. "

"Since it matured last year, we have planted two more crops, one at the beginning of the year, and one at the beginning of the year. "

"At the beginning of the year, the wave has been harvested, and a total of 200 acres and more than 6,000 stones have been harvested!"

"We have continued to expand the planting according to the instructions of the sovereign, and now we have expanded the planting of more than 4,000 acres, but we have used less than a fraction of the corn. "

"Seeing that there are still more than 5,000 stones of corn piled up in our treasury, the lord does not speak, and the little old man and others don't know what to do. "

"And looking at the yield of corn, we can still harvest more than 100,000 stones this year, so much grain, how can we store it in the treasury. "

When he said this, his heart was full of joy and trouble.

The joy of nature is the huge yield of corn, and more than 6,000 stone of grain have been harvested in just 200 acres.

But the problem is that according to Xiao Zhe's instructions, they planted corn on all the fields under Xiao Zhe's name, and harvested more than 30 stones per mu, so they could harvest at least 20,000 stones this year!

With so much grain, how can they put it down with their family treasury?

But Xiao Zhe didn't tell this thing, and they couldn't sell it, so they could only pile it up in the house.

But his troubles were surprised when he heard Xiao Zhe:

"You say there are already 4,000 acres of corn?"

He was really surprised, on the one hand, he was surprised that his family's fields were as many as 4,000 acres, and on the other hand, he was surprised by the speed of corn expansion.

You must know that it has only been two seasons, and the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes has only expanded by a hundredfold, and the planting of corn has expanded by as much as 4,000 times.

But so surprised, he suddenly reacted again, it should be like this!

Because corn is not as good as potatoes and sweet potatoes, after the potato and sweet potatoes are harvested, one-tenth must be left for breeding, that is, the planting can only be expanded tenfold in one season.

The yield of corn is about more than 800 kilograms per mu, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 catties.

It only takes four to five kilograms to keep seeds, which is equivalent to less than 20 catties.

If it is calculated according to their output of 4,000 catties, they can expand their cultivation by 200 times at one time, and increase it to 4,000 times in two times!

After a simple calculation, Xiao Zhe's eyes lit up and said:

"Where is all that corn now?"

Seeing Xiao Zhe like this, Father Fan hurriedly said:

"We planted all that corn in Gangneung, and after the harvest, Xiao Lao'er ordered my two sons to rent a warehouse in Gangneung to store it!"

"Now they are all piled up in the Gangneung Treasury, with a total of more than 5,400 stones!"

"The remaining two hundred stones have been transported into the mansion, waiting for the lord to send them down!"

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he immediately got up and said with a smile:

"You don't need to worry, I'll take care of this matter!"

"Those 4,000 acres of land must be taken care of by people, and when they are ripe, someone will buy them!"

"In addition, take out one stone of these two hundred stones of corn, grind it with a stone mill, let Deng Zhong take it, I will go to the state capital!"

When Father Deng and Father Fan heard this, they immediately said happily:

"It's good that the lord can handle it, I'll arrange it later!"

Immediately, the two hurriedly went down and ordered their subordinates to grind the corn kernels into powder, and then handed them over to Xiao Zhe to take away.

Xiao Zhe took corn flour and traveled all the way into the state capital.

The state capital is the real office space in Xiangyang City, and it is also the place where the governance team works.

Because Xiao Zhe was a military advisor before, his office was actually in the state governor's mansion, so the state capital rarely came.

At this time, he took corn flour and traveled all the way to the state capital, and before he entered the mansion, he saw Zhang Xianxing debut:

"Why does the governor have the time to come?"

Seeing that it was Zhang Xian, Xiao Zhe smiled and said:

"Regarding the matter of our army's food, I have found a way, and I have come to find Yuan Si to discuss!"

When Zhang Xian heard this, he suddenly said strangely:

"The Governor has found a solution?"

He looked at the soldier carrying a sack behind Xiao Zhe, and became more and more curious, and hurriedly said:

"Yuan Si is in the mansion, the official will take the governor forward!"

After that, he took Xiao Zhe all the way to Gu Yong's office.

Before entering the hall, Gu Yong heard the sound of footsteps, raised his head, and saw that it was Xiao Zhe, and hurriedly got up and said:

"Why are you here, Dudu! and Zhang Gong!"

When Zhang Xian heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled:

"Because the governor said that he had found a solution to the food problem and wanted to come looking for you, I brought the governor here!"

"By the way, let's see if the governor can solve this matter!"

When Gu Yong heard this, he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Zhe and said:

"Dare to ask the governor what he can do?"

When Xiao Zhe saw his appearance, he smiled and said:

"Do you know where those potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted before our army?"

Seeing this, Gu Yong shook his head and said:

"Those things are now planted in the mountains to the west!"

"If the governor is counting on the potatoes and sweet potatoes, then I am afraid it will not work. "

"Whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, there are only 100 acres now. "

"Although the yield is large, but it still needs to be kept for breeding!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu novel network!)

Sun Jian attached great importance to the strategic materials of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and specially arranged for him to find a piece of land in the mountains west of Xiangyang to plant secretly.

After two seasons of breeding, it has expanded to as many as 200 acres.

But there is still a long way to go before it is actually popularized!

But after hearing his words, Xiao Zhe shook his head and said:

"I'm not asking about potatoes and sweet potatoes, I'm just asking you, how much land is there and how many crops can be cultivated?"

When Gu Yong heard this, he was puzzled for a while:

"What are you doing here?"

"Where our army has cultivated a total of tens of thousands of acres of fields, in addition to potatoes and sweet potatoes, there are also a lot of crops, and wait until next year to expand the planting of these two objects!"

"Tens of thousands of acres?"

When Xiao Zhe heard that there were tens of thousands of acres, he smiled and said: []

"Yuan sigh, you are ready to prepare, these tens of thousands of acres will be left for me!"

"In addition, mobilize the people and prepare a million acres of land in Wuling!"

"Both things must be done quickly, especially the million acres, which must be cultivated by next spring!"

Hearing that Xiao Zhe opened his mouth to ask for one million acres of land, Gu Yong was blindsided on the spot, and hurriedly said;

"Governor, didn't you say that you want to settle the money and grain, why do you want to reclaim the land again!"

"To reclaim one million acres of land, you have to use tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of ploughing cattle, and at least spend more than 100,000 stone of grain!"

"Besides, now there are a lot of barren fields in Xiangyang and Nanyang, why bother to open up fertile land in Wuling?"

Zhang Xian listened for a while, and also agreed:

"Dudu, our Xiangyang and Nanyang have fertile land, why bother to open up fertile land in the poor mountains and bad waters of Wuling?"

When Xiao Zhe saw the appearance of the two, he motioned to the guards behind him to take down the grain bag, and unfolded:

"Don't worry, let's take a look at this thing and then ask questions!"

He opened the grain bag and saw a few whole corns in it, as well as a lot of cornmeal.

Seeing this, Gu Yong suddenly recalled the appearance of Xiao Zhe when he took out the potatoes and sweet potatoes before, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, grabbed a corn and said:

"What is this?"

"It's called corn!"

Xiao Zhe picked up a piece of corn, pointed to the cornmeal on the ground and said:

"These noodles are ground by corn, and they can be ground finer, compared to wheat, or they can be steamed and eaten directly as rice. "

Gu Yong listened to Xiao Zhe's words, carefully counted the corn for a while, looked at the bag on the side, twisted his fingers a little and put it in his mouth, and after making sure that he could eat it, he looked at Xiao Zhe and said:

"Then Dudu, how much does this thing produce?"

"It's about the same as sweet potatoes and potatoes!"

Xiao Zhe replied:

"There can be more than 30 stones in an acre!"

"What? can there be more than 30 stones in an acre?"

When Zhang Xian heard this, he was stunned on the spot, as if he didn't know such a secret before.

Now when I hear this output, I am suddenly blinded.

And Gu Yong frowned and said:

"But I wonder how many of these things there are in the Governor?"

"Now I have a total of 4,000 acres of land in my house, and there are about 5,400 stones that can be planted in the warehouse!"

Xiao Zhe replied again.

The methods of planting these corns were taught by him, and they were pollinated before they matured, so that all corn could be seeded!

Faced with Xiao Zhe's words, Gu Yong began to calculate:

"If there are 4,000 mu this year, then these fields should have 40,000 mu next year, and they can be expanded to 400,000 mu in the second half of the year. "

"If one mu is counted as thirty stones, then there will be 12 million stones of grain next year?"

At this point, he looked at Xiao Zhe with a look of surprise in his eyes and said:

"If you remove the remaining seeds, 400,000 acres of fields are enough!"

As long as they can increase the grain of 10 million stones, then they will be prosperous at once when they harvest in the autumn next year!

And the point is, corn is not like potatoes and sweet potatoes, but like vegetables.

In addition to cooking, corn can also be used as a real staple food!

10 million stones, enough for them to get out of the predicament of money and food at once.

But when Xiao Zhe saw this, he shook his head lightly and said:

"Yuan sigh, you miscalculated, your algorithm is potatoes and sweet potatoes, this corn is different, one mu of corn can produce four thousand catties of grain, and twenty catties can be sown one acre again. "

"Now I have a total of 4,000 acres in my home, and the remaining 5,400 stones, and now it is only July, and I can plant another wave, which can increase more than 32,000 acres of land!"

When Gu Yong heard this, he was immediately surprised again, and hurriedly returned to his seat and picked up the chips.

Then I saw Xiao Zhe come to write and draw in front of me, and after a while, he said:

"Assuming that 36,000 mu can be planted this year, and all of them are set aside as seeds, then our army will be able to expand the planting of 7.2 million mu next year!"

"But our army does not have so many fields, so we can only expand the planting of one million mu, this part needs a total of about 170,000 stones, in addition to this part of the grain, our army can harvest more than 900,000 stone of grain years ago. "

"By the first half of next year, our army will harvest more than 30 million stone grain, and by the time of next year's autumn harvest, the total amount of grain and grass in our army will reach more than 60 million stone traitors!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhe put down his pen, looked at Gu Yong and said with a smile:

"Now, Yuan Si knows why I'm letting you reclaim the fields now, right?"

"If we start reclamation now, it's still too late, and after next year, our army will have no shortage of food at all!"

In his gaze, Gu Yong was already stunned on the spot, and muttered in his mouth:

"Sixty million stones... Sixty million stones!"

For a moment, he was already amazed by this terrifying production.
