Seeing Sun Jian talking about the topic, Xiao Zhe turned around and called out to Deng Zhong, and then took a cloth bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes and put them on the ground and said:
"The so-called heavy gift is this thing!"
Seeing this, everyone stepped forward and looked around, all of them were curious:
"What is this?"
Sun Jian squatted down, picked up a potato and said:
"It's like taro!"
He raised his head and said strangely:
"This is what the military advisor said?"
Guo Jia also looked at Xiao Zhe curiously for a while, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of Xiao Zhe's move.
Only Kuai Yue knew that Xiao Zhe had never been untargeted, so he hurriedly squatted down, carefully examined the sweet potatoes and potatoes, picked up a sweet potato and put it in his hand, raised his head and asked:
"The two don't seem to be the same thing. "
"Isn't it edible like this?"
Tuber plants such as potatoes and sweet potatoes were not absent in the Han Dynasty.
For example, taro has been cultivated since the Warring States period.
Therefore, when everyone saw this, they naturally thought of edible.
Seeing everyone like this, Xiao Zhe simply said bluntly:
"These two things are what my father asked for from the Western Regions, a potato and a sweet potato. "
"It's all a thing of Fanbang, and it's naturally edible!"
"It turned out to be something from the Western Regions, that's a rarity!"
Sun Jian took a potato in his hand and said with a smile:
"The military advisor takes this as a gift, it must taste good!"
"The potatoes taste slightly sweet, sweet, sweet potatoes, naturally good!"
Seeing Sun Jian like this, Xiao Zhe couldn't help but smile and said:
"However, the rarity of this thing is not in the taste, but in the yield!"
"This thing can be described as the most important weapon of our country!"
The most important weapon of the country!
As soon as he heard Xiao Zhe's words, Sun Jian's face suddenly changed, and Guo Jia was curious:
"The output of this thing is geometric, how can it be called the country's important weapon!"
Xiao Zhe listened, looked at Guo Jia and asked:
"Dare to ask sir, do you know what is the grain yield per mu of my Han today?"
Guo Jia, as a poor family, was also reading when he was in seclusion, and when he saw Xiao Zhe asking about the output, he said:
"If we talk about grain production, there is no more than five grains and the like, and there is still a difference in the climate of acres of land. "
"In the case of Yingchuan field, if it is one acre of fertile land, it will take four stones every harvest and two stones more than two stones during disasters. "
"If it is a thin field, the yield per mu is about one to two stones, and there may be no harvest in a disaster year!"
Listening to Guo Jia's words, Xiao Zhe nodded secretly, Guo Jia's words are basically the grain production of the Han Dynasty.
One stone is one hundred and twenty Han catties, and the yield is extremely low compared to later generations.
Thinking so, he lowered his body and picked up a sweet potato and smiled:
"Then if I tell Mr. that this thing can produce twenty or thirty stones per acre, then Mr. thinks this thing can be used as a key weapon for the country?"
"Twenty or thirty stones per mu?"
Guo Jia's eyes immediately burst out, and he almost popped out:
"Isn't the military advisor trying to trick me?"
And Sun Jian and the others were all shocked, and looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes on the ground that had not been washed in disbelief.
Can this thing produce twenty or thirty stones per mu?
You must know that in this era, officials' salaries are still distributed with grain.
Even the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, Yulu is only two thousand stones!
If this thing can produce twenty or thirty stones per mu, then a two-thousand-stone feudal official like Sun Jian will have a one-hundred-mu harvest in a year!
Seeing the disbelieving appearance of everyone, Xiao Zhe said to Deng Zhong:
"Bring that pot of sweet potatoes"
Deng Zhong listened, and hurriedly carried a jar into the mansion.
Xiao Zhe came to the tank and explained:
"I just dug this potato out of the tank today!"
"There are only three plants in this tank, and there are about two or three thousand plants in one acre of land!"
As he spoke, he asked people to come forward and dig out all the potatoes in the soil, and soon the purple-red sweet potatoes were exposed.
Under the root system of the three plants, they are all fruitful.
Seeing this, Sun Jian and the others were already stunned, only Gu Yong, who was in charge of civil affairs, squatted down and picked up the sweet potato and said:
"Strategist, how do you need to eat this?"
He said this, trying to suppress the excitement of his voice.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhe expressed his understanding:
"This thing can be eaten whether it is steamed, roasted, or boiled. "
"As long as it is stored in a cool and ventilated place, it can be stored for several months, or even half a year!"
"How long can it be stored?"
Sun Jian was also a little excited for a while, realizing why Xiao Zhe would offer this thing as a heavy gift!
Because this thing is completely the foundation of the country!
In the surprise of everyone, Guo Jia hurriedly asked:
"Dare to ask the military advisor, how often does this thing mature?"
"It only takes three or four months!"
Xiao Zhe said amazingly:
"From planting in June to now, it has only been more than three months, and I can plant two crops a year!"
"Fetish, fetish!"
Gu Yong was already a little unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his heart trembling when he was holding the sweet potato:
"With this thing, there will be no hunger among the people of my Han Dynasty!"
And Guo Jia was already shocked on the spot, staring at the crops on the ground.
He thought about what kind of surprise Xiao Zhe would bring him after he came over.
didn't expect that as soon as he came, Xiao Zhe brought him such a huge fright!
What is the concept of grain that can be matured in three or four months with a yield of twenty or thirty stones per mu?
It is almost equivalent to the annual production of fifty or sixty stones.
Suppose a soldier eats one stone of grain a month, then this acre of land can support fifty or sixty soldiers!
What's even more terrifying is that after this thing is planted, both the lives of the people and Sun Jianjun's taxes will usher in a great increase!
In this era of low food production and displacement of people.
As soon as these two things are taken out, they are big killers!
It is conceivable that once it becomes popular, a large number of homeless people will pour into Jingzhou. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
A large number of people bring a large number of soldiers!
It won't take long, just a few years, and Jingzhou will become the most densely populated place in the world!
And under such a logistical foundation, Sun Jian's sweep of the world is just around the corner.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery will be useless!
After realizing this, he was suddenly a little glad that he was here, otherwise if he followed Cao Cao, how would he fight with Sun Jianjun, who had a strong logistics foundation, in the future?
Thinking like this, he hurriedly took a step back, bowed to Sun Jian and said:
"Ming Gong, this thing is as the military advisor said, it is the important weapon of the country and the foundation of hegemony!"
Seeing this, Kuai Yue and Gu Yong also bowed down one after another:
"Congratulations to the Lord for getting this artifact!"
In the face of everyone like this, Sun Jian was already smiling from ear to ear and said: []
"Heavy gift, really heavy gift!"
"The military advisor gave this thing, not only a heavy gift, but also a marquis, and it is not an exaggeration!"
But after laughing like this for a while, he smiled again, and his face was confused:
"But the military advisor gave this gift, how should I return the gift?"
"Strategist, you can be regarded as giving me a big problem!"
Of course, he could realize the strategic value of these two things, but the more he realized this, he was a little worried, and he didn't know how to reward Xiao Zhe.
After all, in terms of status now, Xiao Zhenai is below one person and above ten thousand.
In terms of treatment, he has two positions, and there is no shortage of money.
The credit is already big enough, and now there is another credit, how can he be rewarded?
When Xiao Zhe saw this, he shook his head and said:
"It's too early for the lord to be happy!"
"Although the yield of this potato and sweet potato is high, the number I currently grow is not large!"
"Only my family is about two acres, six or seven thousand catties!"
"If you want to cultivate this thing, one acre of land needs about 300 catties of seedlings, which means that these two acres of land can only expand by 20 acres in one season!"
"Although this thing has a short ripening time, it can be planted in two crops a year, and it cannot be planted continuously. "
"By this time next year, the yield of this material will increase to 200 acres. "
"By this time in the next year, the output can be increased to 20,000 mu. "
"After three years, it will be 2 million acres. "
"If you want to popularize it, you have to work hard for five or six years!"
Listening to Xiao Zhe's calculations, Kuai Yue and Gu Yong's excitement gradually faded, and Guo Jia couldn't help nodding secretly for a while.
Ordinary people who donate this thing are bound to wish for the greater the credit, the better.
And Xiao Zhe is a person who avoids talking about credit, speaks with the actual situation, and covers the credit without showing his face.
It can be seen that this military advisor is not only slight, but also has a set of self-protection.
It's no wonder that he can be in a high position at a young age, and he can make everyone not jealous and convinced.
When he was secretly observing Xiao Zhe, Sun Jian listened to Xiao Zhe's words, but laughed again and said:
"'Four or five years is short enough!'"
"This thing is a social thing, let alone four or five years, even forty or fifty years can wait!"
"But although this thing is not used now, it is indispensable to reflect on your sacrifice!"
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Seeing that Sun Jian was so resolute, Xiao Zhe immediately smiled and said:
"My lord said this, I just offered this thing, but this thing was planted by my father, so I have to show my father for it!"
"I'm here, I'll give some money, even if it's a thousand dollars, a total of 6,000 plants, how about selling it to the lord for 6 million dollars?"
He was not prepared to receive the potato, because without borrowing the name of his old father, he could not tell where this thing came from.
He simply grafted the credit for acquiring it to his deceased father.
His father has been thinking about reviving the Xiao lintel all his life, and if he can give his father a false name through this incident, it can be regarded as his filial piety!
Seeing that Xiao Zhe insisted on handing over the credit to Xiao's father, and gave it directly under the pretext of buying and selling, Sun Jian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled:
"Xiansi's words are not bad, so that the respect for Jin to buy this thing is really for the benefit of the country and the people!"
"In the future, I will personally present the Ming court, and then posthumously seal Ling (Li's Zhao) Zun!"
"As for Xiansi to sell these things, that's fine, but six million is less, I'll give you a thousand gold to buy it!"
One thousand gold, that is, 10 million money, directly withdrew four million.
But both Kuai Yue and Gu Yong felt that the price was not high, and a mere thousand gold was already a human price.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhe nodded and said:
"A word is a certainty, the lord must remember the cash on delivery, and there will be no arrears!"
"Oh, you boy, I'm going to owe you money!"
Sun Jian scolded with a smile, and then remembered the reason why he asked Xiao Zhe to come, and couldn't help but hurriedly say:
"By the way, Xiansi, I asked you to come this time, in addition to introducing Fengxiao, there are still a few things that need to be discussed with you!"
Hearing Sun Jian's words, Xiao Zhe said:
"What the hell provoked the lord to be like this, I would like to hear about it!"
Seeing this, Sun Jian didn't sell it, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"There are three things in total, the first of which is that Zhong Gong sent news that since Li Dao Guo Yan entered Chang'an that day, Lu Bu was defeated and went in the direction of Luoyang. "
"But recently, he led the troops to the land of Yangzhai and sent an envoy to seek refuge from our army!"
"According to Xian Si's opinion, how should our army respond to this Lu Bu coming?"
"Oh, Lu Bu is here?"
When Xiao Zhe heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
If he remembered correctly, after Lu Bu's defeat in history, he also came to Nanyang to seek refuge from Yuan Shu.
Unexpectedly, now Nanyang has been taken by them, but Lu Bu still came to Nanyang!
