Chapter 170
After receiving the imperial edict, the princes of the world had different reactions.
But almost everyone did not think it was true.
In their opinion,
Gu Changan must have lost his mind.
Or he believed the nonsense of his advisers.
No one believed that there was any crop that could increase 10 times and produce 1,000 kilograms per mu.
This was far beyond their cognition.
Yuzhou, Shouchun
“Hahahaha!” Yuan Shu laughed happily.
“Isn’t this nonsense? Gu Changan is such a shameless kid, he actually came up with such a scam!”
“I’m afraid Gu Chang’an has other intentions. When the time comes, he will be pointed at by everyone, and I will be able to avenge Nanyang!”…
Wujun, Fuchun County.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were drinking in depression.
They felt that they were incomparable.
But they were trapped under Yuan Shu and could not do anything.
However, when they heard the news from Chang’an City,
“When there are no heroes, it is the young men who become famous!”Sun Ce angrily slammed the table.
“Such a shameless and ignorant person could actually have power over the government and be granted the title of Marquis. God is really blind!”
Zhou Yu had a different opinion.
“How could Gu Changan be such an ignorant person!”
“You see, after he came to the fore, everything he did had a profound meaning!”
“Even though many people couldn’t understand it at that time, they suddenly realized it later!”
“This matter is indeed strange, let’s wait and see what happens!”
Sun Ce rolled his eyes at Zhou Yu and said,”If we don’t wait and see what happens, what else can we do?”
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and drank a bowl of wine directly:”Well, that’s true!”……
Xuzhou, Donghai County, Tan County.
Tao Qian entertained his civil and military officials.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were also invited by Tao Qian.
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and asked:
“Liu Shijun, you have met the general, in your opinion, is it true that the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu is true?”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said,”Although I have not seen the food of potatoes, I guess it is true!”
“As the Protector General of the Western Regions, Ma Teng has reopened the Silk Road!”
“Since you can get a Ferghana horse, it is also common to get other rare items!”
“There’s no guarantee that these high-yield potatoes didn’t come from the Western Regions!”
“”Zi Zhong, what do you think about this?” Tao Qian turned around and asked Mi Zhu.
The Mi family gave their sister to Gu Chang’an as a concubine, and obtained some rights to form a Silk Road caravan.
It is said that the Mi family made a fortune because of this.
Many wealthy families in Xuzhou could not help but feel envious and jealous.
Hearing Tao Qian’s question,
Mi Zhu said very respectfully:”Mr. Tao, this should be true!”
“Zifang has bought some land near Chang’an City and has already planted and harvested crops!”
Zifang is Mifang’s courtesy name.
“Besides, Zifang has selected good breeds, which will arrive in Xuzhou soon. You may want to give it a try, Mr. Tao!”
Tao Qian’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
“Have good breeds? That’s great!”
“I don’t know if these potatoes can survive and have a good harvest in our Xuzhou!”……
Youzhou, Jixian
“Yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu? How is that possible?”Gongsun Zan shook his head.
“If there really is such a magical thing, that would be great!”
Gongsun Zan sighed.
He was in Youzhou, which was in the north and had a cold weather, and could only grow one crop a year.
If there really was a crop that could produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, even if it was only grown once a year, it would solve his food and grass problem…….
Most of the princes in the world were laughing at Gu Chang’an.
Some people were even secretly conspiring.
And they were ready to attack Gu Chang’an after the conspiracy theory was exposed.
But the news that followed was that the entire Guanzhong area began to plant potatoes and corn on a large scale.
In addition, the court began to give potato and corn seeds to the princes in the world.
Even planting books were included.
The planting documents were written on paper.
This was also the first time that paper spread to the whole world.
As time went on, most of the princes received seeds given by the court, as well as books introducing planting methods…….
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
Cao Cao looked a little solemn.
He held the bamboo slips from the spy and the books sent by the court.
Cao Cao was very keen to discover the difference between bamboo slips and paper books.
“Look at this book from the imperial court, it is actually written on paper!”
“When did paper become able to be written on like this?”
After reading the book, Xun Yu, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were all silent.
As children of aristocratic families and famous people in the world, they were very keen to discover that the emergence of writable paper would inevitably lead to the widespread dissemination of knowledge.
It would no longer be a monopoly of children of their aristocratic families.
Even the three of them began to feel a sense of fear towards Gu Changan.
This Gu Changan was not only invincible on the battlefield, but also had many ways to stir up trouble in the world.
Cao Cao then spoke again 120
“It is said in the planting manual that this potato prefers a cool and dry climate of 120 degrees, has strong adaptability, and prefers loose, fertile sandy soil!”
“However, it was repeatedly emphasized that this plant has strong adaptability and can be grown from Youzhou to Jiaozhou!”
“This is getting more and more outrageous. How can there be any crop that can be grown from south to north in the world?”
“I heard that oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. Their leaves are similar, but their tastes are different. Why is that? It’s because of the different water and soil.”
Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said,”My lord, even so, we still have to find a place to plant them and try it out!”
“”Hmm!” Cao Cao nodded.
Chen Gong asked with some doubt:”Is this really not Gu Changan’s conspiracy? The spies said that the military farms near Changan City did have a bumper potato harvest!”
Cheng Yu also said with some worry:”My lord, Gu Changan is a real threat to us!”
“If this potato is real, I’m afraid that Gu Chang’an’s reputation will be unmatched in the world!”
Cao Cao looked serious, shaking the book in his hand and said
“Don’t forget this paper. I’m afraid all the poor scholars in the world will lean towards Gu Chang’an!”…… ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, comments!.
