Han counter current

My lord may not yet know how many sweet potatoes we will harvest. Just judging from the current harvest, we have harvested at least millions of sweet potatoes in the south this time.

Isn't that enough?You know, we haven't counted the sweet potatoes in the north yet.Could it be that this is not scary enough? "

"However, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes shouldn't be so low, what is the reason..."

When other people hear Chen Feng's words, they will probably look at you as an idiot, but there is no way, Chen Feng firmly believes that the yield per mu of sweet potatoes should be higher.

It's just that he hasn't figured out one thing until now. The "mu" in the current situation is actually two different concepts from the "mu" he understands in later generations.

It's also his fault that he pretends to be an intellectual because he is ignorant and incompetent.I haven't figured out the ancient area unit in China, so it's no wonder I'm thinking about it now.

The sweet potatoes alone have harvested so much. Gao Zhong, Shen Xuan and others who are far away in the south are very busy now.Sweet potatoes are not easy to store, so they must be processed as soon as possible.

Brewing wine, processing it into vermicelli, or simply processing sweet potatoes into starch, etc., but all the methods proposed by Chen Feng have been exhausted in the south.

But there were so many sweet potatoes that Gao Zhong had to suspend his military plan and devote the army to processing sweet potatoes.

Other princes are also busy harvesting summer grain at this time, or are preparing to harvest summer grain, but there is no area comparable to Jiaozhou and Rinan.

Chapter 289 Harvest Season 1

In Nichinan, except for a small number of elite troops stationed at various key passes, the rest of the soldiers and horses are now busy in the fields.

Even elite soldiers have to work after training.This scene is really a bit special, I don't know, I thought something big was going to happen on Nichinan's side.

Harvesting sweet potatoes was beyond Gao Zhong's imagination. In order to meet the requirements of his adoptive father, he reclaimed a lot of wasteland and planted sweet potatoes.

After all, most of the reclaimed wasteland is mountainous, which is not suitable for planting conventional crops, so sweet potatoes have become a feature of Nichinan and Jiaozhou.

"It's troublesome. Now, if I don't get rid of the sweet potatoes, I won't be able to lead the army to the battlefield. Really, if I knew this, I would have caught more slaves to do this job."

Among the busy crowd, Lu Lingqi straightened up and thumped her small waist.She is a bit repulsed by working like this.

However, even Gao Zhong and Shen Xuan have gone to the ground, she can't pretend to be cowardly.Anyway, it has long been rumored in the army that Lu Lingqi's ability is invincible in the entire army.

It can't be said that just because you can fight, you don't have to work in the fields.You know, the coach Gao Zhong and the military adviser Shen Xuan, which one is not good.

"Look at me, the general said, whoever harvests more sweet potatoes will have more opportunities to do meritorious service on the battlefield in the future, hehe, isn't this just a competition of strength, who can compare to me."

Among the crowd, I am afraid that Sha Moke is a bit different.In the spring, he pulled his horse to work in the fields. Now, he also went to the field to resist sweet potatoes, and he also took his wild bull along with him.

As Shamoko's mount, this bull's life is really difficult.You have to go to the battlefield, you have to go to the farmland, and you can do everything.

At the beginning, the people who planted sweet potatoes happily picked the stems and leaves of sweet potatoes and ate them as vegetables. They all praised Chen Feng and Gao Zhong for their achievements.

As for now, there are too many sweet potato fields, and it is not an easy task to harvest them within a limited time. It can even be said to be quite heavy.

Moreover, other crops are about to mature, and important crops such as rice are also being harvested, so it can be regarded as busy now.

Fortunately, the hardworking people are willing to go to work, and even now they have three meals a day, eat enough, and then go to the fields to grab food.They also like such a scene, at least, so that they can store more food at home.

"I don't know when I can finish my work. I'm so tired that I can't straighten up."

In the mountains, Gao Zhong himself was also busy.

"Next time we need to get more labor. The best way is to go to Funan to fight a few battles and capture some prisoners. Damn it, we should start the war earlier."

It has to be said that Gao Zhong is a hard worker, and his manpower is not small, so although the farm work is a bit busy, at least it can last.

Bags of vermicelli, bags of processed starch, jars of wine made from sweet potatoes, etc., are all filled in warehouses in Nichinan and Jiaozhou.

In order to make room for the grain to be harvested later, Gao Zhong has sent the nearby fleet and warships full of processed food to Youzhou.

When the first fleet of ships sailing from Nichinan arrived at Yuyang Wharf, the harvesting of summer grains on the Youzhou side also started.

Fortunately, there are more people here, and the yield per mu is not that scary, so the overall task load is not that heavy.

"What, how much did you say?"

On the pier, Chen Feng was listening to the reports of the captains.

"Just the processed vermicelli has millions of stones, and the rest of the starch has hundreds of thousands of stones? You haven't calculated the wine made from sweet potatoes yet? Are you right?"

Chen Feng is delighted with such a harvest. At the same time, he also knows that sweet potatoes have a lot of fiber content, so if the sweet potatoes are processed into vermicelli or starch, the weight must be reduced a lot.

"There will be no mistakes. General Gao told us to hurry up and send this first batch. There will be more later."

One of the captains quickly replied, looking at him, he seemed more excited than Chen Feng.

"My lord, there are too many sweet potatoes harvested in the south this year, and we only processed half of them when we left.

General Gao said try not to use other grains to make wine. Now, in the Nichinan area, sweet potatoes are used to make wine. We don’t have any warehouses to store it, so we can only transport it to Youzhou as much as possible. "

"It's a big game now, and the preparation work is not done well."

Chen Feng touched his forehead, it seemed that beads of sweat had already flowed down.

"Okay, you unload the goods quickly, and then load all the goods in the warehouse near the dock onto the ship and transport them to Zhuya and Jiaozhou. You will have to work hard during this period. Food is life, and it must be stored well."

"No problem, my lord. We are all farmers. We value food more than our own lives."

"You can't say that. Your lives are priceless. Alright, everyone is busy and survived this summer harvest season. I will reward you for your merits later."

,,,,,,

Knowing that the production of sweet potatoes has reached such a terrifying level in the south, Chen Feng immediately summoned the agricultural officials in Youzhou to discuss harvesting sweet potatoes. At the same time, factories for processing sweet potatoes were set up near all the fields.

While hurrying up to build more warehouses, Chen Feng now also lists vermicelli and starch processed from sweet potatoes as one of his commonly used foods.

At the same time, the vermicelli and starch were exchanged for the sweet potatoes harvested by the farmers. In this way, there was no problem in Youzhou.

Compared with the busy scenes in Nichinan, Jiaozhou and Youzhou, Jizhou is much worse, and the harvest is not so terrible.

As a rich place in the north with the most complete water conservancy facilities and the highest grain output, Jizhou has always been a place of heavy production, especially when Huangfusong was in charge of Jizhou, it laid the foundation for Jizhou's production.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao took advantage of this advantage to quickly become the number one prince in the world. Otherwise, how could he have so much food and population.

Back then, the Wuji Zhen family's caravan in Zhongshan was famous for selling grain in the north, and the aristocratic families in nearby Youzhou and Bingzhou couldn't bear to see the face of the Zhen family.

It's a pity that the people of Yuan's family have been so good at tossing around these years that the grain production in such a good place has decreased every year.

However, fortunately, there are those agricultural and water conservancy foundations back then, otherwise, Yuan Shang would not know where to harvest summer grain now.

In contrast, Qingzhou occupied by Yuan Tan was a bit miserable. Qingzhou experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the early years, and its population and agricultural foundation were not as good as Jizhou.

Coupled with the fact that Yuan Tan himself has been tossing around in recent years, he is even worse than Jizhou in terms of summer grain production. This is also the main reason why Yuan Tan is desperately trying to attack Jizhou.

If Yuan Shao knew that his precious sons had made such a fuss about the family business he left behind, he didn't know what he would think.
