PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Heroes of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 438 Wooden Battleship

Zaozhi from Datuntian family came to Yuan Tan's study.

Since Yuan Tan had high-yield corn and wheat, there was no need for farmland, so jujubes were useless, and he was depressed.

"Prime Minister?" Zaozhi bowed.

"Well, get up, read this book first." Before Yuan Tan finished speaking, Dian Wei took a book and sent it over.

Zaozhi took it over and read, "The Cultivation and Planting of Watermelon".

As he opened it and took a closer look, he couldn't help being shocked.

Zaoyi also heard about the betting in the court.

The prime minister said that there are crops that can produce [-] catties per mu.

No one believed it, and Zaozhi, the Datuntian family, didn't believe it even more.

Now looking at the book, it turned out to be all the processes of how to grow [-] catties.

Yuan Tan said: "You should familiarize yourself with this book as soon as possible, and then give training courses to officials. You will be in charge of this watermelon project."

Speaking of which, this is a heavy responsibility.

But Zaozhi couldn't get any more excited, "I'll plant it. Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely plant it according to the method in your pamphlet, but...but..."

Yuan Tan said with a smile, "If the plant can't reach [-] catties, I will be responsible."

Zaozhi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it seems that the prime minister didn't let himself take the blame, can he really grow [-] catties?

So after the beginning of spring, officials began to go to the countryside to help poor households grow watermelons.

Yuan Tan attaches great importance to poverty alleviation, and military advisers come to the front line to supervise the development of the work.

Pang Tong came to Guangzong.

Guangzong is the birthplace of the Yellow Turban. The area was alluvially formed by the ancient Yellow River. There are many sandy lands, which is also known as sand dunes.

There are almost no crops on the sandy land, so there are many poor people.

Pang Tong brought people to Dongsha Township to inspect the work on the spot.

When the poverty alleviation officials here saw the military division coming, they worked harder.

All the folks came out. I heard that it was a military division. I have never seen such a big official.

"Fellow folks, we will take you out of poverty and into prosperity." Pang Tong said kindly.

If such a big official comes to us, we must be out of poverty.

The villagers are happier than the people who heard that they have become a special zone in later generations.

"Military teacher, how can we get rid of poverty?" asked the village chief Wang Hui.

"Plant watermelons." Pang Tong said, stroking his mustache.

Grow watermelons?
"Military division, how many catties per mu of watermelon?" Village Chief Wang asked again.

The people here don't know what watermelon is, but it doesn't prevent them from asking the most important thing, which is the yield per mu.

"This... [-] catties."

Fuck~.

After the people heard Pang Tong's words, they almost smoked.
"We grow more than 50 catties of grain, and you have [-] catties, why are you bragging about it?" An old man who was dying of old age threw it out and went straight to it.

"Two hundred times more production, you really dare to brag. I have seen too many bragging officials, and you are the best bragging."

"This is the rhythm to blow us out of poverty."

"This..." Pang Tong looked awkward and speechless.Thinking back for a while, I thought that the Lord was full of confidence when he said it, why did he have no confidence at all when it was my turn?
In fact, we can't blame Pang Tong for his lack of confidence. It is really scary to put [-] catties in ancient times.

Later, the villagers learned that the prime minister said the yield per mu.

Suddenly want to cry without tears.

It seems that the prime minister has become bad. This is a change of law to mess with us poor people. If we don't mess with us, we can only accept slavery.

So the people didn't believe it even more, but they had to cry and grow.

"Son, when Dong Zhuo was in the past, your grandfather hanged himself to keep me alive. It seems that in summer, I have to prepare to hang myself."

The old people have already begun to explain to future generations.

But whether people believe it or not, as long as Yuan Tan gives the order, it will be done.

Under the urging of officials from all over the country, watermelon planting started to get on the right track.

…………

On this day, Yuan Tan was reviewing memorials in his study.

Huang Chengyan and Ma Jun came excitedly.

After Yuan Tan saw the two of them coming, he became excited, "How is it? Has the wooden battleship made a breakthrough?"

Ma Jun said happily: "My lord, it's not just a breakthrough, a boat has already been launched."

A boat was launched so quickly.

Yuan Tan immediately felt that Ma Jun's work was very good. You must know that it was originally expected to take five years.

So Yuan Tan rushed to the shipyard in Jiaozhou Bay with his civil and military officials without stopping.

When Zhao Yun and Jia Xu saw the wooden battleship, they were completely shocked.

They originally thought that it should be a warship similar to Jiangnan Louchuan, but after seeing the real thing, they knew they were wrong.

This wooden battleship is 95 meters long, 30 meters wide, and has four floors. Eight sails can be hung on the ship. The anchor weighs 200 catties and has a displacement of [-] tons. It takes at least [-] men to set sail.

Using the most advanced keel technology, it will be more stable than today's punts.

Due to the huge size of the battleship, trebuchets and ballistas were used as combat weapons.It is much more advanced than the land combat mode on the ship where the arrows are released and the board is connected.

Yuan Tan was also shocked by this battleship.

This should be the largest warship in the world at present.

"Everyone, everyone!" Ma Jun showed up, "This battleship is not the biggest, because the Lord gave the target back then, and this battleship still needs to fight in the Yangtze River. If it is a pure naval ship, it will be even bigger."

"This is already twice the size of the Jingzhou Louchuan, and it can be even bigger!" Pang Tong is the only military adviser who grew up from the south, and has the most say in the Jingzhou Soochow Navy.

When Zhao Yun and the others heard Ma Jun talking about fighting in the Yangtze River, their eyes lit up immediately.

You must know that Yuan Tan must be going to the south, and the biggest difficulty in the south is the enemy's navy.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the south is good at water warfare.

On the water, Yuan Tan's superiority in military strength could not be reflected, which was also one of the key reasons for Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi in later generations.

But now that there is such a battleship, it is completely different.

later.

Yuan Tan affirmed the work of Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan, "Send this battleship to serve in the Yangtze River Navy as soon as possible, and the process of going to Lujiang will be regarded as a trial voyage."

In fact, after Yuan Tan completely occupied the Central Plains, his power extended to the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and he set up a shipyard in Lujiang County in the north of the Yangtze River to manufacture warships, fighting ships, and building ships in preparation for the future Southern Expedition.

However, warships such as warships, fighting ships, and building ships cannot be compared with battleships at all.

I believe that after this battleship is added to the sequence, the advantage of the Soochow Jingzhou Navy will no longer be so obvious.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was the summer of 209 AD.

The sandy soil in Guangzong and other places is covered with big round watermelons.

The fellow villagers cried and laughed holding a large watermelon weighing more than 20 kilograms.

"It turns out that the prime minister didn't lie to us, he really can produce [-] catties per mu!"

"I'm going to get rich, get rich!"

And in Yecheng, Yuan Tan's mansion.

in the study.

Yuan Tan and the military advisers are all waiting for the news of the watermelon yield per mu.

Yuan Tan closed his eyes and meditated.

And the military divisions whispered.

Jia Xu stroked his beard, "Five years' salary, five years..." He kept muttering.

At this time, amidst the sound of footsteps, Pang Tong ran in.

Jia Xu tremblingly said: "Mr. Pang Tong, how many catties per mu?"

"Ten thousand catties..." Pang Tong finished crying excitedly.

The same goes for Xun You and the others.

It's over, it's over, the one-year salary is gone, if I knew it was ten thousand catties, I would never bet with the lord.

Jia Xu couldn't stand anymore, thinking that you only have one year's salary, and I have no five years' salary.This time, the whole family will drink northwest wind.

Yuan Tan burst out laughing, firstly, seeing the expressions of the military advisers who were dying to live, and secondly, the great harvest, how could he not be happy about getting rid of poverty and becoming rich and well-off?

"So, the truth is that this is killing."

Xun You and the others were on the verge of collapse. They were more than killing them all, they had already killed them to the end.We are fruits, you can kill them casually.

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "Okay, don't make a sad face. This year's harvest is bumper, and I am really happy, so I don't want your salary."

Jia Xu and the others were suddenly in a state of ice and fire, and immediately flattered like a tide.

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "When I come to the court meeting, I will make Ma Rixun look good."
