Chapter 1107 Men suffer
The harvest season is always joyful. When I wake up in the morning, I eat something briefly and the king and his ministers walked into the field with hoes and started a day's work.
Cao Ang also adjusted his identity and was too lazy to even get down to be a chef, preparing food and waiting for them to come back at noon.
Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes, the monarchs and ministers were excited. They were busy without resting or eating until the afternoon Shenshi, and finally dug up two thousand acres of sweet potatoes.
Standing in the field, looking at the countless piles of sweet potato mountains that were several meters high, Cao Cao said excitedly: "Publicate with all our strength, and the Han people will no longer worry about hunger in less than ten years."
Xun Yu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, lord, it's not wrong to promote it with all your strength, but sweet potatoes and other things are prone to rot and have limited storage time. They cannot replace staple food, and they cannot be stored in the national warehouse. Therefore, my subordinates think that the promotion should be appropriate. We cannot ignore the cultivation of grains because of the high yield of this product. Grains are the foundation of our great man."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, looked at Cao Ang and said, "Zi Xiu, what do you think?"
Cao Ang smiled and said, "I think what Xun Lingjun said makes sense, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been cultivating new wheat and rice in recent years, and spared no effort to find ways to increase the yield of these two crops. Although it is not effective at the moment, it has some clues. I believe that in more than ten or twenty years, Wei Kuan will definitely give us a satisfactory answer."
"In addition, from a nutritional perspective, people cannot eat only one food in their entire lives. Vegetables, fruits and meat must keep up, so that the nutrition will be balanced," he said.
"Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are all high-yield crops. Each household only needs to take out 30% of their own land to plant."
"Or we can also integrate resources, take Xun Lingjun as an example. Nearly 30% of the land in Yingchuan belongs to their Xun family. If I were Xun Lingjun, I would take out all the land at home to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, build several large-scale farms, raise chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and other livestock, and then put them into the market or sell them to the army. It would be quite profitable."
Xun Yu: "..." There are so many people present, why do you have to say that our Xun family is so illegal?
However, this proposal is also good. Growing potatoes and sweet potatoes can raise livestock, livestock manure can nourish the fields, and fertile land can produce more grain and raise more livestock. This is a virtuous cycle.
Xun Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Cao Cao was speechless for a while. The damn rebellious son, how could he get a nutritional science?
No, wasn’t I just talking about the issue of planting grains and grains? Why did the topic suddenly go off the wrong path?
It seems a bit inappropriate to pick up the topic again. Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Wenruo, divide these sweet potatoes into counties as soon as possible, and order local governments to repair cellars to store them. They will promote them all the way next year. As for the question of how much to plant, it is still a little too early to talk about it. Let's talk about it when every household is in the upper hand. By the way, Gulan, when I was digging the sweet potatoes, I found that many pieces in the field were empty. Did they not grow or were they stolen?"
Gulan finally became a mother-in-law for many years and became a regular husband and Xu Duling.
Xu Duling is a critical position, and all parties are staring at it. Gulan has no ability or background, and he can't hold it for his whole life, but he also has an advantage. He has worked at the grassroots level for decades and has rich experience. He has followed Cao Ang for several years and has been following Cao Ang for several years to understand Xu Du's changes. After Cao Ang left, Xun Yu could not find the candidate to take over Xu Duling for a while, so he had to let him take the place for the time being.
Although there is a character called "Dai" in front of it, Gulan is still very energetic and does everything himself. Although he has not made great achievements during his tenure, he has never made any mistakes. Xun Yu particularly appreciates this and is already considering whether to remove the character "Dai".
Xu Du is the capital of the Han Dynasty. There are too many monsters and monsters. It is good to ensure that nothing happens. Stability is greater than everything.
Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Gulan ran up and said, "Report to the lord, this sweet potato field is personally responsible for. Miao subordinates who have not survived have all replenished it. However, the sweet potato field covers too much land and is surrounded by people. Even if all the yamen runners of the county yard are sent out for twelve hours to monitor, they can't take care of it. Don't worry, lord, the subordinates who steal sweet potatoes have all caught them and are all locked up in prison."
People cherish food more than carnivores like them. They will definitely not steal it before they are mature, so it only happened in the past few days to steal sweet potatoes, so it is normal not to release them.
Cao Cao said with a bad expression: "Even Guantian dares to steal, so he is so brave. This group of people must be severely punished."
"Don't..." Cao Ang hurriedly stopped him and asked without persuasion: "Mr. Wei, please ask you, should you promote these sweet potatoes after harvesting?"
Cao Cao did not understand his intention and nodded subconsciously.
Cao Ang asked again: "Will the final result of the promotion be delivered to the people for them to plant it?"
Cao Cao's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment and nodded again.
Cao Ang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since the people are just planting them, now the people have taken them themselves, so we don't have to send them out specifically. What a good thing, why should we punish them?"
Cao Cao: "..." This is not something he could not imagine, but his sense of superiority was causing trouble.
For the people, he is the noble Duke of Wei. This official land is his private property, and the same is true for things growing in the fields. He can give away his things, but others cannot reach out to them. This is the rule.
Cao Cao said angrily: "What do you mean? Let the thieves who steal sweet potatoes be released?"
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Of course you have to put it on. You can't cut people just because you steal sweet potatoes, but you can't put them on them easily. Just fine some money. People are bastards and never cherish what you easily get. Now telling them that they are not guilty of stealing sweet potatoes. They may ruin the stolen sweet potatoes when they go back. If they punish them a little, they think that the sweet potatoes were bought with money and must be kept well for the next year."
Cao Cao thought about it, so he turned his head and looked at Gulan and said, "Do you know how to do it?"
Gulan hurriedly bowed: "I understand, I will deal with it when I go back."
After digging sweet potatoes, they naturally don’t need to take action on the transportation of the goods. Just hand them over to the county government, but Cao Ang and others have not finished their affairs and they still have to worship their ancestors.
When digging sweet potatoes, I woke up my ancestors from the tomb. After digging, I was not allowed to report to my ancestors.
Liu Xie picked the largest one, the sweet potato king, who was as big as a bowl, was ready to go back to the ancestral temple, so that the ancestors of the Liu family could see it and enjoy it.
The others also selected a few who looked good and planned to go back and pay tribute to their own ancestral halls for their ancestors to admire them.
The journey back was not easy. Cao Cao had a bunch of children sitting in his carriage, all of whom were naughty and naughty. Cao Ang was chattering and noisy, and he couldn't even take a break.
He scolded a few words to make these little guys calm, but Cao Cao kicked out of the carriage.
If you think it’s noisy, don’t sit there, go ride a horse.
Cao Ang got out of the car, looked at the car in grief and sighed, "Oh, a thirty-year-old man is so miserable. He can't afford to offend the old and the younger ones. There is another person in the middle who finds trouble for you if you have something to do. It's so difficult, it's too difficult."
When I returned to Xudu, after entering the palace to worship the ancestral temple, it was dark. After finally returning home, I climbed onto the bed and was pulled up by Lu Xin, and scolded: "Look at your body, it's dirty, either soil or mud. Take a shower, don't even think about going to bed if you don't wash it clean."
