Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 323 Thoughts on Corn

In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest is over, and after more than a year of cultivation, the corn harvest has been quite fruitful at the time of the autumn harvest.

Although it was still not enough for military rations, it was not as tight as last time. Zhao Qian used it as salary and distributed it to all officials.

Since corn is precious, it is quite cost-effective to serve as a salary, but in this way, a lot of food is saved.

Of course, Zhao Qian did not force it, it was entirely voluntary, but even so, those ministers and ministers still rushed to use corn to offset their salaries.

In Jinyang, when someone receives guests, he can cook a few pieces of boiled corn, which is a manifestation of his status and the importance he attaches to the guests.

Even, in the dark, there is also a corn transaction, which Zhao Qian knows, but he doesn't bother to take care of it. As long as everything is under control, let them do it.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao picked up the corn placed on the table in front of him, looked at it, then smelled it again, finally couldn't hold back, and took a light bite.

A few corn kernels entered his mouth, and after chewing slowly, his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. For Yuan Shao, who ate corn for the first time, it seemed that he had tasted the delicacy in the world.

After chewing for a long time, Yuan Shao reluctantly swallowed the corn in his mouth, nodded, and said, "It really is delicious, then Zhao Qian will really enjoy it, and he was able to discover this."

Xu You under the table smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you got this from Jinyang after spending a lot of money. Only ministers and ministers can eat this."

"Well, Ziyuan did a good job in this matter." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It is only through Ziyuan's credit that you can enjoy such delicious food. Why don't you thank Ziyuan quickly?"

"Thank you, brother Ziyuan!"

All the counselors and generals at the table cupped their fists to thank Xu You, and Xu You returned the salutes one by one, looking very proud.

"Okay, hurry up and eat while it's hot." Yuan Shao greeted, and everyone waited, and began to enjoy the delicacy of corn.

Yanzhou, Puyang.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Chen Gong, and Zhang Chao also sat at the table.

"Everyone, this is a fresh and rare item sent by Meng Zhuo's messenger. I don't dare to enjoy it alone, so I invite a few of you to come and share it." Liu Bei laughed, and what he was holding in his hand was also a section of corn.

"Brother, what is this?" Guan Yu asked suspiciously.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "This is corn, which is delicious and fragrant. Only the ministers and ministers in Jinyang City are eligible to enjoy it."

"I've heard of this thing, but I've never tasted it. I heard that Jinyang has already used it as a minister's salary." Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

Zhang Chao curled his lips and said, "Is this thing so valuable? Can it be worth the salary?"

"Meng Gao must not underestimate this item. I heard that the ministers asked to exchange it after they knew that they could get their salaries with this item. However, the quantity of this item is limited, and each person's income is not much." Chen Gong explained.

Liu Bei nodded, and said, "Gongtai is right. Meng Zhuo spent a lot of money to get this thing. Come on, come and try it."

So, the four of them each picked up the corn in front of them and began to taste it.

"Well, this taste is really good, I have never tasted such delicious food." Zhang Chao immediately praised.

Guan Yu also nodded, and Danfeng's eyes were opened, carefully looking at the corn in his hand, but he didn't see why, so he narrowed his Danfeng's eyes and continued to eat.

Liu Bei chuckled, and said, "If I can accomplish great things, why worry about not being able to taste such delicious food every day?"

"We will definitely do our best to assist the emperor and resist Cao Cao!" Chen Gong said hastily.

Liu Bei laughed, looking very happy, and said: "Today is a banquet, don't talk about political affairs, eat!"

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Cao Cao also held a section of corn in his hand, but his expression was very solemn, and he said, "I never thought that there is such a strange thing in the general's place."

Xiahou Dun next to him said nonchalantly: "Isn't my lord on good terms with that Zhao Qian? If you think this thing is good and send someone to ask for some, then Zhao Qian probably won't refuse."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "This thing is not simple. Have you ever seen this thing? Have you ever heard of it?"

Seeing everyone shook their heads, they said: "This food tastes very fragrant, and after eating it, you still feel full. Why do the generals get their salary with this, and those ministers still accept it? Because this food can completely replace food."

Cao Cao's words made everyone a little silent.

After a while, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, this thing is really rare, and it can only be used as a tooth offering. If it is used as food, it is too extravagant."

Cao Cao shook his head again, and said, "In the past, wasn't wheat scarce and so precious? The same is true for corn. The general has discovered a new grain."

When Cao Cao said this, Cheng Yu also realized how important this is. The so-called lack of food in the army will cause the army to lose its morale.

Zhao Qian has new food, and it is such delicious food. It seems that his army's morale and morale will be very high.

This is obvious, when the two armies are fighting against each other, one side eats bran swallowed vegetables, while the other side eats the same delicious food as Gongqing, can the mood be the same?

If there is a war, which side will be more powerful?Will work harder?The answer goes without saying.

"Why don't you go to Zhao Qian and ask for some seeds, so we can plant this corn too," Xiahou Dun said again.

Cheng Yu chuckled, and said, "Then Zhao Qian is very cautious. The person in charge of the corn cultivation has specially appointed General Diannong Zhonglang, who is guarded by the army, so he can't get close at all."

Seeing that Xiahou Dun was still a little unwilling, Cheng Yu said again: "Also, even if Zhao Qian really gave the seeds, who knows how to plant the corn?"

Everyone was silent. After a while, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't think about it for now. It's not easy to get these corns. Let's share it and come and taste it."

"Thank you my lord!"

After everyone thanked them, they began to share the corn. Cao Cao also took a piece, and while eating, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After everyone finished eating, Cao Cao looked at them and said, "Everyone, the most important thing right now is Yanzhou. If we can't take Yanzhou back, let alone corn, even ordinary grain, we will be in jeopardy." .”

The issue of food has always been very important. If it wasn't for the shortage of food some time ago, we could have taken Liu Bei in one go, and there would be no time for him to assemble a school knife team.

The generals had a deep understanding of this, Dian Wei stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, my lord, then Guan Yu will be handed over to Wei!"

Cao Cao laughed, and said: "General Dian Wei is brave, I am very pleased, but now Guan Yu is not alone, but has a school knife team, no one can be defeated by his bravery."
