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

Sixty million stones, far more than Xiao Zhe originally calculated the amount of food needed to be stored.

It is also beyond the imagination of Zhang Xian and Gu Yong.

You must know that the Han Dynasty was light on the tax rate, and the tax rate was not high in the heyday, and the collection of national taxes was about 80 million stones.

And now they can grow 60 million stone grain with 1 million acres of land!

If someone else said this, the two would definitely think that this was a fantasy talk, but now this is coming from the mouth of Xiao Zhe, who is the most reliable speaker, so they can't believe it.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xian looked at the corn on the ground with bright eyes:

"This thing is really a divine thing, but I don't know what it tastes like?"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhe smiled and said:

"I just haven't had lunch yet, but I can ask my subordinates to steam and eat together!"

Zhang Xian listened, and was busy asking people to take the corn to the kitchen for cooking.

Gu Yong, on the other hand, sat down with Xiao Zhe and continued to discuss the issue in this space.

After thinking for a moment, he hesitated:

"According to the governor's statement, our army will indeed not be short of money and food in the coming year. "

"But the yield of this material is so high, and our army is so large-scale planting, I am afraid that it will leak out next year at most. "

"In this way, our army will not be short of food, but other families will soon start to have no shortage of food!"

"In the future, all the princes of the world will not worry about food, when will the war in the world stop?"

In addition to being a political talent, he also has the talent of a prime minister.

It's easy to relate things to the big picture.

For them, food was a constraint, and the same was true for the princes of the world.

It is precisely because of the lack of food that the world will continue to enter the time of truce.

But if you can't eat all the food, then there will be an endless battle in the world!

Facing Gu Yong's worries, Xiao Zhe nodded and said:

"So our army wants to reclaim the fields in Wuling!"

"At the same time, we will not continue to increase production except for this million acres of land. "

"This time I want to plant this grain, I want to implement the military tun!"

"With the army stationed here, the displaced people planted crops, and after harvesting, except for the breeding grain, the rest will be used as a reserve 957 grain, and before it is used, all it will be ground!"

"After next year, a large number of passes will be set up, and anyone who slacks off the corn will be regarded as a meticulous cut. "

"In this way, the speed of this leakage can be greatly slowed down!"

"As long as our army can hold on for a few years, it will have an absolute advantage!"

Crops like corn, once they start using them, can't prevent them from flowing out.

All they could do was to take precautions and try to delay the spread of crops like corn and potatoes.

As long as it drags on for a few years, they will be able to absorb a large number of people, encourage fertility, and occupy a demographic advantage!

With such advantages, it will take several years to wait for corn and other crops to leak and then be planted and promoted.

At that time, their population will form a crushing class advantage.

With a huge population advantage, no power will be their opponent.

Hearing this, Gu Yong nodded, and also realized the seriousness of Xiao Zhe's question.

Then he thought for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"In addition to this, there is another point, that is, if our army wants to reclaim millions of acres of fertile land now, it can save manpower, but there is a serious shortage of cattle. "

Cattle are also one of the strategic resources, and they are not something that can be bought if you want to.

You want to buy it, but they won't sell it to you!

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he asked rhetorically:

"How many cattle are there in our army now, and how big is the gap?"

Seeing this, Gu Yong said:

"Our army has about 8,000 oxen, and if we use them to plough the land, two oxen can carry it, plus four people, and one and a half acres of land can be cultivated in one day. "

"If our army uses all the cattle and mobilizes 40,000 people, it will be six or seven thousand acres a day. "

"It's more than 100,000 acres a month!"

"This still does not take into account the rest time of the cattle, if the ploughing cattle plough two days off, it will be about 100,000 mu a month. "

"If we want to cultivate so many fields at the beginning of spring next year, we will not be able to do it. "

"Besides, it will take time for us to recruit people and transport cattle to the south, and we will reclaim one million mu, at least until the second half of next year. "

"So the key is to plough the cattle!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhe smiled slightly:

"I just happen to have something to help my army do this!"

Gu Yong saw that Xiao Zhe could even solve this, and immediately exclaimed:

"What can the Governor do to solve this problem?"

"Bring me the cloth!"

He hurriedly handed over the cloth, and saw Xiao Zhe writing and drawing on the cloth with a pen, and said while moving:

"At present, the reason why the ploughing oxen are slow to plough the land is actually the main problem is that most of the plows used by our army are straight, which makes it difficult to turn around, and the soil is wasted. "

"And the plough is so heavy that it requires the help of four people, one standing on it, and three working together to turn. "

"That is, it is a waste of cow power, but also a waste of manpower, and it is inefficient. "

"So I've been thinking about it for a long time, I might as well change this plough to a curved wheel, like this, it's lighter, and one ox can be operated by one person!"

"According to the three components of plough evaluation, plough arrow, and ploughshare, the depth of the soil can be controlled, and the direction of the ploughshare can also be controlled. "

As he spoke, he had already drawn the shape of the zigzag plough on the cloth.

Gu Yong listened to Xiao Zhe's explanation, stared at the Quyuan plough on the cloth with a pair of eyes, and said:

"Can this thing really be cultivated by one man and one cow?"

Xiao Zhe handed the cloth to Gu Yong and said with a smile:

"If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

"Believe it! How not to believe it!"

Gu Yong hurriedly took the cloth and said with joy on his face:

"I have long heard that in addition to being good at military strategy, Du Du is also good at the methods of the Mo family!"

"Even the crossbow can be made, and this thing must have a miraculous effect. "

"What is the magic effect?"

As the two were talking, Zhang Xian had already walked into the hall with a few bowls of corn rice, and smelled the aroma of corn rice all the way:

"Dudu, this corn is so fragrant for cooking!"

"Before you even enter your mouth, you can smell a fragrance!"

He walked quickly to the two of them, sat down and said:

"Come on, come on, you two try this too!"

Seeing this, Gu Yong and Xiao Zhe picked up their chopsticks and made them on the same table.

I saw Gu Yong sandwich a little meat sauce, and put the corn rice in his mouth, and then suddenly said with a look of surprise:

"It's so sweet!"

As he spoke, he chewed the corn kernels, but felt that his mouth was sweet and his taste buds were wide open.

Zhang Xian was also eating for a while, and shouted: (Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

"Not bad, I don't want this thing to be so large and taste so good!"

Looking at the appearance of the two, Xiao Zhe smiled silently and opened his mouth to eat this familiar taste.

He also ate corn rice when he was a child, and in his mind, it was something that only poor people eat.

But that doesn't mean corn doesn't taste good when cooked.

On the contrary, compared to the popular staple foods such as corn and wheat in this era, the taste of corn rice is simply baag. []

After eating for a while, Gu Yong looked at the leftovers in the bowl and sighed:

"If this thing can really have 60 million stones next year, then the people under the command of our army will no longer have to go hungry!"

It's delicious, and the yield is large, so what do you ask for, it's a fairy thing!

Hearing this, Zhang Xian also nodded and smiled:

"What Yuan Si said is good, this thing is so miraculous, our army will not be short of money and food next year!"

"Just selling grain can raise a lot of money for our army!"

Speaking of the topic of funds, Gu Yong looked at Xiao Zhe for a while and hurriedly asked:

"By the way, Governor, you said before that you wanted to use money to increase some industries, but I don't know what kind of industry it is?"

He knew that Xiao Zhe was probably planning to increase the industry before he took out the corn!

Now that corn has settled the financial matter, what will the industry be?

Looking at Gu Yong's questioning, Xiao Zhe did not hide it, and said bluntly:

"I'm ready to start doing business, but I don't know if our army has a salt workshop? In addition, there is open land outside Xiangyang to build a workshop?"

"Salt workshops naturally exist!"

Gu Yong put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said:

"But the output of our army's salt factory is not large, and it is a little difficult to supply the barracks. "

"As for the vacant land, there are a lot of them outside Xiangyang, but I suggest that if the governor sets up a workshop, he should not set it up in Xiangyang. "

"Because Xiangyang may have to expand the city in the future, if there is a workshop, it will be inconvenient. "

"You might as well set it up in Fancheng or Deng County!"

"After our army resettled the refugees, a large amount of land was acquired in these two places. "

"The Governor can set up the workshop in these two places!"

"Although these two places are not in Xiangyang, they are only separated by a water from Xiangyang, which is convenient. "

Listening to Gu Yong's suggestion, Xiao Zhe nodded and adopted it.

There's nothing wrong with being in Fancheng.

Just as they were preparing to go south with the Son of Heaven, if Xiangyang became the capital, Fancheng would be immediately incorporated into Xiangyang.

He can take this opportunity to build Fancheng well.

In the coming days, as an economic center outside the imperial city, they will be able to make a lot of money just by selling land!

After thinking about everything, he ate a few bites of his meal, then got up and said:

"Okay, now that the matter is over for the day, then I'll go first. "

"This expansion of planting, I still have to take care of the two of you!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhe was leaving, the two got up to see each other off, but when they came to the door, Gu Yong said:

"Governor, there's one more thing!"

"Dare to ask the governor what the price of these corn is going to be used this time?"

Although the corn was sent by Xiao Zhe, the public is public, and the private is private, Sun Jian spent money to buy it at the beginning, and now there is another corn, so it is naturally impossible for them to let Xiao Zhe give it in vain.

Hearing Gu Yong's words, Xiao Zhe turned around and smiled:

"It means that you can give five hundred gold!"

"Lest people say that I am abusing my power for personal gain!"

When the two of them heard this, they immediately secretly said good guy, opening their mouths is five hundred gold, and the governor is really not polite.

Don't you know how difficult it is for the treasury now?

But as soon as he thought of next year's huge harvest, Gu Yong arched his hand and said:

"According to the Governor's words, even if this thing is bought from the Governor's Mansion by the General's Mansion!"

"As for this matter, don't worry, I will report it to the lord truthfully!"

reported to Sun Jian, even if the legality of the matter was confirmed, it would not be true.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhe nodded and waved away.

But before he came out of the house, he saw Xu Chu step forward and said:

"Governor, General Gan Ning has led the army back, and now he is docking outside the city with a ship, and he wants to see the governor by name!"

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he immediately shook his head and secretly said that he was really a hard worker.

It's just finished here, and Gan Ning, the madman, is here again!

But after all, Gan Ning was the general he had appointed, and he couldn't see it, so he and Xu Chu walked towards the outside of the city with a group of guards.

As soon as he arrived outside the city, he saw that more than a dozen ships had docked outside the city, and Gan Ning, who was very coquettish, was leading a group of soldiers to sit on the dock and bask in the sun.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhe immediately scolded Gan Ning, he was busy in the city, but this kid was idle outside the city, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said loudly:

"Where is Gan Xingba, why don't you come to greet him?"

As soon as Gan Ning heard this, his body turned over, and when he saw Xiao Zhe, he hurriedly trotted forward as if he had seen a relative:

"Governor, Governor, the end will be here!"

He personally stepped forward to grab Xiao Zhe and Ma Jiang and helped Xiao Zhe off the horse.

Seeing that he was so respectful, Xiao Zhe was a little more relieved, and his face softened:

"I heard you were going to see me, what the hell is going on?"

But as soon as Gan Ning heard this, he grinned and said:

"Dudu, I robbed Yuan Shu's wife for you!"

"How are you going to reward me?"

"What? You really snatched Yuan Shu's wife?"

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he was stunned for a while.

He listened to it as a joke at the time, but he didn't expect Gan Ning to really do it!

It's a big joke this time!.
