After a while, Emperor Liu Xie arrived with eunuchs.

The court officially began.

Although the emperor was present, Liu Xie was a child after all.

Major affairs in the court were first proposed by a group of officials, then discussed, and finally decided by Wang Yun and Cai Yong.

"Everyone, food is scarce in Chang'an, what should we do?"

Chapter 51 The Food Crisis

Wang Yun frowned, and slowly looked at the officials in the palace.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, but no one said anything.

Dong Zhuo brought millions of Luoyang people to Chang'an City, and the food in the city was scarce.

There have been several battles recently.

When Lu Bu withdrew from Chang'an City, he took away a large amount of grain.

According to the current food storage and consumption rate, it will last for another two or three months at most.

But it will take half a year before the grain harvest.

Moreover, the grain harvested may not be enough for the people of Chang'an City and the imperial army.

How can this be good?

Everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.

If there is no food, it is estimated that there will be no foreign enemies to attack, and the interior of Chang'an City will be in trouble.

"How about we ask the prefects from all over the country to send food?"

Cai Yong put forward his own opinion.

"Lord Cai, do you think this idea is useful?"

Wang Yun gave Cai Yong an angry look.

Although the princes from all over the country still claim to be the courtiers of the great Han.

But that's only in name. They have long violated the central government's decree.

How could it be possible to return food to Chang'an City?

Even if there are one or two people who are willing to send food, it is probably a drop in the bucket.

For a moment, the entire hall fell into unspeakable silence.

At this moment, Hua Xiong suddenly laughed.

"Everyone, actually, I have a solution for food."

"Oh? What's Hou Wen's idea? Tell me quickly."

"Yes, I'm all ears."

All the ministers looked at Hua Xiong expectantly.

After all, the lack of food is closely related to everyone present.

"I have an excellent wheat seed here, which can mature in three months. It can be harvested twice a year, and the yield per mu can be a thousand catties."

By the way, the reading app I'm using recently, \app\ has a lot of book sources, all books, and updates quickly!

Hua Xiong slowly introduced the super hybrid wheat that the system rewarded him.

But to Hua Xiong's surprise, instead of being surprised, the ministers all turned weird.

"what happened?"

Hua Xiong looked at them suspiciously.

Everyone looked at each other, but it was Wang Yun who stood up.

"Wen Hou, you don't know much about crops. You may have been deceived. It is impossible to have such wheat seeds."

Wang Yun forced himself to hold back his laughter, he just missed calling Hua Xiong a stick.

Although the other ministers didn't speak, their eyes were full of meaning.

In ancient times, productivity was underdeveloped, and agricultural planting depended entirely on God.

If the weather is good this year and the land is fertile, the production capacity of wheat per mu can reach two to three hundred catties.

This is already the limit.

How could it be possible for Hua Xiong to say that every mu yields a thousand catties, and the wheat is harvested twice a year?

Hua Xiong couldn't laugh or cry.

The vision of these ancients is still narrow.

This is an improved super hybrid rice.

"I tell you, don't believe me. This kind of wheat is not only high-yielding, but also resistant to drought and flood!"

All the ministers couldn't believe it even more.

There are two crops a year, with a yield of [-] jin per mu, and it is also resistant to drought and waterlogging.

How could there be this kind of wheat? It's nonsense!

"Wen Hou, stop joking with us."

"Yeah, let's discuss business."

Hua Xiong looked at them indifferently.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Now everyone stops talking.

"Wen Hou, are you sure what you said is true?"

Wang Yun stood up with a serious expression on his face.

"determine."

Wang Yun immediately stretched his brows and laughed loudly,

"Okay, Hou Wen, you are really the savior of the world!"

Hua Xiong was bewildered, and he hadn't realized what was going on.

Old boy Wang Yun, how can you change your face when you change your face?

"With this kind of wheat seeds, there will be no more famine in the world, and everyone will have enough to eat. Wen Hou, do you think you are the savior of the world?"

Wang Yun patted Hua Xiong's shoulder with fiery eyes.

"Wen Hou is really the food and clothing of the people in the world."

"I think His Majesty should reward Wen Hou!"

A group of ministers scrambled to flatter Hua Xiong.

People eat for food.

It is enough to see the status of food in the hearts of ancient people.

In ancient times, the productive forces were underdeveloped, and if there were any natural disasters, the crops would fail.

Then the people will be displaced and countless will starve to death.

And Hua Xiong took out this wheat seed, if it is true, the famine can be solved from now on.

How can we not make everyone excited?

At this moment, Cai Yong on the side frowned again.

"However, even if we start to promote it now, I'm afraid it will take a while before farmers can plant it."

"If you want to harvest food, it will take four months at the earliest."

"And our food will last for another three months at most."

Those words made everyone who had just cheered up fall into silence again.

Yes, what should I do?

Everyone looked at Hua Xiong again.

Hua Xiong couldn't laugh or cry.

What do you think of me?omnipotent god?

"Cough, Hou Wen, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Wang Yun said cheekily.

Hua Xiong shook his head.

"Not yet."

Wang Yun had no choice but to turn around and discuss with the ministers for a while.

In the end, no effective solution was reached.

They had to decide to let the farmers in Chang'an and Yongzhou plant the seeds provided by Huaxiong first.

The meeting will disperse.

Hua Xiong came to the command post.

In order to facilitate the handling of affairs, Hua Xiong specially arranged a stronghold in Chang'an City and named it the command post.

The senior generals and staff officers of the Wolf Army are stationed here.

Seeing Hua Xiong walk in, Jia Xu greeted him.

"My lord, I have something to report."

"It turned out to be peace, just talk about it if you have something to say."

Hua Xiong nodded with a smile.

"Li Ru came over just now, begging to see your lord. He is waiting in the backyard right now."

Hua Xiong was slightly taken aback.

This fellow Li Ru is not dead?

In history, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, Li Ru never appeared again.

So the history books all think that he died in the war.

After Hua Xiong captured Chang'an City, he even consulted specifically, but did not find Li Ru's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to find himself.

Hua Xiong went straight to the backyard of the command post.

A thin man was standing in the courtyard, it was Li Ru.

Seeing Hua Xiong coming, he hastily bowed his hands in salute.

"Li Ru met Wen Hou!"

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, before Hua Xiong saw him he was always superior.

When they saw each other today, their positions were reversed.

Hua Xiong squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ru for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Li Ru, what did you come to see me for today?"

"A certain person came here today because he wanted to join Wenhou."

Li Ru said softly.

Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing.

"Why do you think that I will take you in instead of eradicating you as Dong Zhuo's rebellious party?"
