Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 85 The Big Man's Hope

One of the two treasures is the square mirror of Qiankun in ancient legends, and the other is a pocket watch that has never been seen in the world.

After the display, all the officials were shocked, and the emperor Liu Xie, who was only ten years old, was deeply attracted by this strange object.

So when he heard someone from the Xiliang sect urging Liu Yu to take out the third treasure, he actually forgot about Dong Zhuo's existence, and opened his mouth directly to ask Liu Yu to quickly show the third rare treasure.

"The first two treasures are really miraculous, so please show the third treasure quickly!"

The ten-year-old Son of Heaven hadn't changed his voice yet and looked very immature, but when Jinkou opened, all the officials in the hall fell silent instantly.

This is the first time that the Emperor Liu Xie has issued a decree without Dong Zhuo's consent!
The royalist faction showed excitement and was pleased with the little emperor's brave performance today, but the Xiliang faction couldn't stop snorting coldly.

At this time, the emperor above the main hall seemed to have realized something was wrong, and was looking at the Grand Master Dong Zhuo in the seat next to him in a panic.

And Dong Zhuo was also looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, his mouth was still slightly moving as if he was mocking the emperor for daring to give orders in the hall at will!

After all, the Son of Heaven was only a ten-year-old child, and when he saw Dong Zhuo's gloomy smile, he didn't know what to do, and his hands trembled in fright.

Although Liu Yu didn't have much impression and affection for the emperor Liu Xie, Liu Xie called him brother emperor just now.

Regardless of emotion and reason, Liu Yu would try to help him.

"Since Your Majesty is so curious, please ask the grand master to order me to take out this third peerless treasure! If the first two treasures are priceless, then this third treasure can be said to be the future hope of the great man! "

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, both Dong Zhuo and the officials turned their eyes from the emperor to the middle of the hall.

Without Dong Zhuo's frightening gaze, Emperor Liu Xie finally relaxed. Although he was young, he also understood that Liu Yu helped him out of the siege.

So he quietly cast a grateful look at the middle of the hall.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo was also shocked by Liu Yu's words, so he no longer cared about what the emperor Liu Xie did just now, but just thought about what kind of treasure could become the future hope of a big man!

In addition, Dong Zhuo felt that Liu Yu was getting more and more difficult to see through. Was he pretending to be good to the royalists when he was pregnant with a huge treasure, or was he really helping the court with all his heart?

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had the final say in this imperial court. Although he was a little suspicious of Liu Yu's performance, he didn't go into it.I think it's better to see his next performance before talking about it!
"Since it is a treasure related to the future hope of the great man, please let King Zhongshan take it out and let the adults study it carefully!"

With Dong Zhuo's will, all the officials moved to Liu Yu's side.

Those two treasures before were so shocking, so the ministers didn't want to miss this last treasure!
Liu Yu also stretched his hand into his arms very carefully, and then slowly took it out.

At this time, he saw an extra khaki round egg in his hand.

This round egg is extremely ordinary in appearance, and there are densely packed small spots on its surface, it doesn't look like a baby no matter what.

"This is the hope of the great man?" Lv Bu sneered, "Could it be that the king of Zhongshan is teasing the officials and the grand master!"

Lv Bu's face was ridiculed, and the Sangong and Jiuqing rarely stood on the same stand with him.

It was Situ Wangyun, one of the three princes, who first expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Although the first two treasures are enough to exchange for the army rations for suppressing the bandits, King Zhongshan can't be a sensationalist, but he insists that getting a clay egg is the hope of a big man!"

Wei Wei Yang Biao and Wang Yun are close friends, and at this moment he also questioned with anger on his face, saying: "You don't want to deceive the king, and treat the fate of the country as a trifling matter. Has the King of Zhongshan forgotten that he is also a member of the royal family?"

Among the members of the Xiliang School, Li Jue, Xu Rong, Ma Teng and others all had some friendship with Liu Yu, but they were all very disappointed when they saw the so-called third treasure in Liu Yu's hands.

The Emperor Liu Xie who was looking at the main hall was stunned. He never thought that the third treasure was such an unattractive thing.

Dong Zhuo's face was sullen, but luckily it wasn't enough to make him angry, and his dissatisfaction was not because he didn't see the so-called treasure.

Instead, I feel that Liu Yu is a bit redundant at the moment.

Just like what Wang Yun said, the pocket watch and the square mirror alone can be exchanged for enough military rations.

Now that the matter of the military rations has been resolved, Liu Yu should bring the topic to who will be dispatched to suppress the bandits in the next step, so as to get back on track.

Liu Yu was successful in offering treasures in exchange for food, so he just took this opportunity to intercede and recommend Huangfusong to lead troops to suppress bandits, so that he can return to the previous plan.

"Hmph! What is this clay egg? If it's useless, let's quickly discuss the matter of suppressing bandits!" Dong Zhuo snorted heavily, implying Liu Yu to return to the topic quickly.

It's just that Liu Yu was still unhurried, and even put the clay egg on his mouth and took a bite.

"Well, the noodles are very fragrant, and there is a hint of sweetness. Do you want to try it, Master Grand Master?"

Liu Yu's words and deeds surprised the officials again, and even Dong Zhuo felt that he could not keep up with his rhythm.

It turned out that this clay egg, which Liu Yu called the hope of the big man, turned out to be an edible thing.

"This thing is called... ground egg! It is a new drought-tolerant crop that can yield thousands or even thousands of catties per mu!"

Liu Yu originally wanted to talk about potatoes, but felt that "beans" were too small to express their greatness.

It's just that the name is not important anymore. When they heard that this clay egg can produce more than [-] jin per mu, and it is also very resistant to drought, all the officials exclaimed.

Even Dong Zhuo stood up excitedly from his chair.

"Can it really produce a thousand catties per mu?"

Following Dong Zhuo's inquiry, everyone turned their attention to Liu Yu again.

I only heard Liu Yu explain: "This ground egg is the same as that pocket watch. I got it in an unnamed underground palace. According to the inscription, the yield and planting method of the ground egg are recorded, and I also asked people to plant and cultivate it near Hulaoguan. , and found that each plant can produce several ground eggs of this size."

A single seedling can produce several fist-sized fruits. This new crop is unheard of. At present, the highest yield of millet in Dahan is definitely not more than [-] catties per mu.

If ground eggs can be popularized, the same one mu of land can feed three to five times or even ten times more people.In this way, Dahan will never have famine again!

So when Liu Yu finished speaking, both the royalist faction and the members of the Xiliang faction showed surprises they had never seen before.

Some officials even cried on the spot, and Liu Yu knew that they must be weeping with joy.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and family affairs are national affairs and the world's affairs, but in life there is nothing more important than eating and sleeping!

At this time, Wang Yun asked excitedly: "I wonder how many seeds King Zhongshan has at this moment?"

Liu Yu replied: "I have planted several hundred catties of ground eggs near Hulao Pass, and I think that I can harvest two to three thousand catties in autumn, and the ground eggs can be planted twice a year. By this time next year, it should be Tens of thousands of catties of seeds can be stored!"

As soon as Wang Yun heard that the yield of this ground egg is so high, it can increase dozens of times in a year, and it is estimated that it will be popularized to the whole world in three to five years.

"This is really an important weapon of the country. I hope that the king of Zhongshan must properly protect the cultivation land. I thank you for the common people in the world!"

"Lord Situ, don't worry, before I came, I left two thousand Yulin soldiers near Hulao Pass, just to let them be responsible for cultivation and guarding."

Wang Yun took the lead in saluting Liu Yu, and the other three princes and nine ministers also saluted and thanked Liu Yu.

Although the members of the Xiliang faction didn't express it, there was admiration in their eyes.

Dong Zhuo on the main hall sat down slowly, and after he calmed down, he ordered: "Send an order to Jia Xu, the guard of Hulao Gate, and ask him to assist the Habayashi Army to guard the egg field!"

Hearing that Dong Zhuo didn't send other people to Hulao Pass, Liu Yu put down his last worries.

It takes time to cultivate potatoes, and he is really afraid that Dong Zhuo and others will pull out the seedlings and spoil the hope of the big man.
