Food is the most important thing for people. At any time and in any dynasty, food is the top priority. If there is food, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. If there is no food, wars will be everywhere.

The officials present had a particularly profound understanding of this.

Therefore, the news that Cao Ang brought back new crop seeds from overseas attracted everyone's attention as soon as it came out.

What are the new crops, what are the yields, and can they be planted on the land of Dahan?

These problems torture them like diseases, and some anxious people wanted to rush into the vegetable shed to open the land and watch carefully.

God pays off on those who are determined, and the new crop has finally matured.

Cao Cao took a golden hoe with red silk from his subordinates and handed it to Liu Xie, pointing to the withered vines in front of him and said, "This is a potato, it grows underground like a radish, and needs to be dug out. Please."

Liu Xie took the hoe, walked to a potato, bent down, raised the hoe and waved it vigorously. When he was pulled out, he suddenly had a yellowish round object the size of a fist stuck on the hoe, which was almost split in half.

"This..." Liu Xie said embarrassedly: "I've used too much force."

"It's okay, I can eat it."

Cao Cao took off the damaged potatoes and threw them to Cao Ang and said, "Zi Xiu, you are responsible for cooking, so everyone can taste them."

Cao Ang's face was pulled down on the spot. There were no one hundred or eighty officials present. You should be my five-star hotel chef.

Cao Cao was lazy to care whether he wanted it or not. He took the hoe from Liu Xie's hand and waved it hard. He took out seven or eight hoes. Liu Xie was shocked and asked in surprise: "So many are much higher than carrot production."

When Xun Yu mentioned the yield, he remembered something, snatched the cracked potatoes in Cao Ang’s hand and ran to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we should measure the land first and see how much this acre can produce."

"Yes, yes..." Cao Cao slapped his forehead and said, "Why did you forget this? Wei Kuan, come over with a ruler."

Cao Ang reminded: "I have measured all the potatoes."

No one believed his words. Wei Kuan brought a ruler, Xun Yu and Yang Biao and others worked together to measure them, and it was indeed Yimu.

Seeing them chatting and laughing, Cao Ang said helplessly: "Why don't you even have this little trust between people?"

Everyone was lazy to pay attention to him, so they picked up the hoe and excavated together.

The officials present are not the ones who don’t understand the truth of later generations. Although they are in high spirits, they all go to the ground to plant the potatoes, for fear of destroying them like Liu Xie, and they waved their hoes to dig them with caution.

There are too many people and thick hands, so there is no need to worry about working. Dozens of people start to work, and a mu of land is quickly dug. When I look up, there are a few piles of potatoes on the ground, so I don’t need to weigh them. Just looking at the size of the potatoes, it is very pleasant.

Xun Yu couldn't wait to shout, "Share it."

Everyone started to do it again and put the potatoes into sacks and weighed them. After working hard for a long time, they finally calculated that it was a total of 1,700 kilograms.

Each stone is 120 kilograms, fourteen kilograms.

Everyone was frightened by this number.

"Impossible, weigh it again."

Xun Yu was the first to react and asked someone to re-scale them.

Fourteen stones, this number is too exaggerated, so exaggerated that he can't believe it.

You should know that the average land output of the Han Dynasty was only one and a half stone, and the top fertile land was only about three stones and less than four stones, but the per mu of potatoes reached fourteen stones. What a joke?

Cao Ang, who had never been to work in the ground, had his hands stuck in his sleeves and was hiding leisurely, looked at them with anticipation and nervous expressions, and his face was full of contempt.

One thousand seven hundred kilograms sounds quite a lot, but it is not.

The unit of measurement of the Han Dynasty was half smaller than that of later generations, and the number of those in later generations was only more than 800 kilograms.

The yield of potatoes per mu in later generations was more than 2,000 kilograms, and some special cultivations could even reach 8,000 kilograms.

Now it's only 800 kilograms, what's there to show off?

Everyone took the scale and passed it again, but it was still 1,700 kilograms.

"The scale is broken, change one."

Xun Yu still doesn't believe it.

Others didn't believe it either, so they could only change the scale. After changing three consecutive shots, they had to believe it.

Zheng Xuan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is auspiciousness. With such things, the Han Dynasty will never have a disaster again."

When he spoke, his lips trembled and his whole body was trembling. Those who didn't know thought they were having epilepsy.

Among the crowd, Zhang Zhao and Shen Pei looked at each other secretly. The moment they looked at each other's eyes, they both saw the unconcealed greed in each other's eyes.

Crops with such high yields must be brought back at all costs.

Cao Cao glanced at the two of them, a smile that was unrecognizable on the corner of his mouth, he raised his chest and raised his head, and said in a pretentious manner: "This thing is indeed auspicious for my great man. Zi Xiu did not run away overseas this time."

Only then did everyone remember that the heroes who took the crops were left aside by them, and hurriedly turned around and looked at Cao Ang.

Xun Yu recognized him even more rarely and said excitedly: "Young Master, you have made great contributions."

Cao Ang smiled, walked over and raised his toes to the ground and took them in his hand and waved them hard at the potato pit. He dug and lifted them, and brought out three more potatoes.

Although it's not big, it's also a potato.

Everyone stared at each other widened their eyes. Seeing that Tudou's excited breathing had increased a little, Xun Yu even exclaimed: "Also?"

Cao Ang spread his hands and said, "It's grown under the ground, and some of it must be deep. You dug it so gently, can you dig it clean?"

Everyone: "..." Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Looking at how hard you are doing, I'm so embarrassed, just go through it again."

Without waiting for Cao Cao's order, the officials picked up the farm tools and started to work. The arms that were waving the hoe handle were swung down like relieving their hatred, wishing they could turn the ground all over.

I turned over the land like a plow, and dug out a lot. After weighing, the yield per mu reached fifteen stones.

"God blesses the great man."

Zheng Xuan held two potatoes and knelt on the ground excitedly.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and knelt on the ground and shouted in tears: "God bless the great man, and the ancestors and ancestors bless him."

Cao Ang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and muttered, "This is what I brought back. What does it have to do with God and the ancestors? Have you been the wrong partner?"

The response to him was Cao Cao's ruthless big foot, kicking him down with one kick, pressing his shoulder and forcing him to kneel down. Then he bowed to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, this is an unprecedented happy event for the Han Dynasty. It should be sacrificed to heaven and earth again."

With such a large output, once promoted, the people in the world will no longer be famine.

This is a huge merit comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. If you don’t tell your ancestors and sects, those old guys will blame you.

Liu Xie also knew what this matter meant and said with a smile: "General Cao Ang of Tiance made contributions to collecting potatoes, and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenhai County and was appointed as Sikong. Other soldiers who went out to sea will be rewarded separately, and the Prime Minister will be fully responsible."

"Ah..." Cao Ang was stunned.

The promotion speed is a bit fast. If you continue to advance, wouldn’t you have to take Lao Cao and treat him?

No, you have to find a way to make mistakes and demote the official position one after another.

It is not a good thing for a young man to be successful and not be able to be in power.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements as soon as possible and will never let the soldiers going out to feel disappointed."

After saying that, he kicked Cao Ang again and whispered, "I'm not grateful yet."
