Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 121 Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

Something happened to Xiaopei, and Li Chen led a large force back to Xuzhou.As soon as he returned to Xuzhou, the first thing Li Chen did was to start researching the diamond blind box he got from Mi Zhen's mission.

You know, Chen Qingzhi and Yuwen Chengdu turned Yuan Shao's lair upside down, and the system only rewarded a platinum blind box.

Li Chen never imagined that he could get a diamond blind box from Mi Zhen?So far, the only character who has been opened from the diamond blind box in Li Chen's hands is Chen Qingzhi.

This diamond blind box can be said to be a surprise, Li Chen hurriedly wanted to open the blind box to see what he could get?
According to the style of my own mature blind box system, I usually get what I lack, but now Li Chen really can't think of what he needs for a while?
"Open the diamond blind box." Since you can't expect what will be opened, you might as well open it to see, the diamond blind box is not too bad after all.

[The diamond blind box is being opened. 】

The notification sound of the system sounded in my mind, and the platinum blind box still shining with diamonds was slowly rotating. This special effect can be said to be amazing.

[Congratulations to the host, 10 tons of potatoes and 10 tons of sweet potatoes. 】

One ton is equal to two thousand catties, sweet potatoes and potatoes are each ten tons, which is twenty thousand catties each.That's not much. Now I have a full 10,000+ army under my command, and I won't be able to eat these sweet potatoes for a long time.

"Bah, bah, bah." Li Chen quickly dismissed the idea of ​​eating.

"Yeah, these are grain seeds, yes, these are grain seeds."

"Eating grains is something that African niggas can only do, how can I do this kind of thing myself." Li Chen thought in his heart.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are definitely a cross-age product in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.What the diamond blind box opened was really extraordinary.The value of these two things is definitely comparable to a million soldiers.

The main grains in the Eastern Han Dynasty were wheat, millet and rice.The north is the main producing area of ​​wheat and millet, and the yield of one mu of land is only 250 to [-] catties.

The rice yield in the south is even lower. The yield of rice per mu is only a little over 180 jin. Even the best paddy fields can only produce [-] jin of rice per mu.

As for the yield of sweet potatoes in the previous life, the yield of the worst sweet potatoes was more than 160 catties, and even some starchy sweet potatoes could produce as much as [-] catties.Moreover, the growth cycle of sweet potatoes is very short, and the growth cycle of spring potatoes is about [-] days to [-] days.The growth cycle of summer potatoes only takes about [-] days.If it is calculated according to the two seasons of planting in a year, even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no problem with the annual output of sweet potatoes reaching three to five thousand catties.

What is the concept of three or five thousand gold? This is twenty times the existing grain production in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.That is to say, the land that was able to support one person can now support a full twenty people.

The yield of sweet potatoes is scary, and the yield of potatoes is not inferior to that of sweet potatoes.Potatoes are also a crop with a yield of three to five thousand catties per mu, which is normal, and the high yield can reach eight thousand catties.

A total of 20 catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes, if these are used as grain seeds, then it only takes two or three seasons, and these 200 catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes can become [-] catties, [-] million catties, truly endless.

As long as there is enough food, Li Chen will be able to attract refugees to Xuzhou, and then Xuzhou will become a paradise for the entire big man.The people of this era are too easy to be satisfied, as long as they have something to eat, they will work hard for you.

Thinking of this, Li Chen began to worry again.Potatoes and sweet potatoes are too easy to spread. He will plant them this year, and maybe next year potatoes and sweet potatoes will spread throughout the thirteen states of Han Dynasty.

You know, Li Chen only has one Xuzhou now. If sweet potatoes and potatoes are popularized, wouldn't he be an indirect enemy.

Li Chen is not so great. Before he has no strength to rule the world, Li Chen would rather not plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, nor let them leak out.After all, Li Chen would never do such a stupid thing to let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's subordinates eat their fill and beat him.

Li Chen stored [-] catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the official warehouse, and sent someone to summon Yuwen Chengdu.

"Marshal Dian, all five thousand soldiers and horses have been dispatched." Yu Wencheng said with cupped hands.

Seeing Li Chen coming to the granary in person, Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help being a little puzzled. Chen Deng has been doing the post-production work on the granary in the city.What happened today, Li Chen actually came to the granary in person.

Yuwen Chengdu was wondering, and only listened to Li Chen's order: "Chengdu, from today onwards, you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to station here day and night. Remember, no matter what happens, the granary here must not be lost."

"No?" Although Yu Wencheng was a little puzzled, he still answered solemnly.

Ordering Yuwen Chengdu to guard the granary, Li Chen replied to the Yunlong Palace and hurriedly summoned a group of counselors under his command.

Chen Deng, Liu Bowen, Yu Qian, Chen Qingzhi and others came to the Yunlong Palace one after another. This time, the discussions were all counselors with very online IQs under Li Chen's command.

Chen Deng, Liu Bowen, Yu Qian, and Chen Qingzhi walked into the Yunlong Hall one after another, and saw a large table in the Yunlong Hall, with food that the four of them had never seen before.

These foods are naturally made of potatoes and sweet potatoes, such as potato roast meat, sweet potato porridge, potato cakes, potato shreds, roasted sweet potatoes and so on.

"Sit down and eat first." Before the four of them could speak, Li Chen spoke first.

The four of them are a little unclear, so this time is not the time to eat.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still two meals, one morning and one night.Now this time is a bit late for breakfast, and it is a bit early for dinner.

Although I can't figure it out, the commander-in-chief asked us to eat, so let's eat.As a result, there were five people at a table, and soon they started to get started.

After eating, everyone couldn't stop.

After eating the hot ones, Li Chen ordered someone to peel some sweet potato cubes. The sweet potato cubes were crisp and delicious, with a sweet aftertaste.Even eaten raw, the taste is quite good.

"My lord?"

"What kind of food is this?" Liu Bowen keenly felt that Li Chen did not invite them to dinner for no reason, and calling them here must be something important, and most of this matter is related to what they ate.

Li Chen pointed to the remaining food residues and said, "This is called potatoes, and this is called sweet potatoes. Military advisers, what do you think of the taste of these two things?"

Chen Deng said after a moment of recollection: "The taste of these potatoes and sweet potatoes is very good, and I feel that these two things seem to be very hungry."

"good."

"Brother Chen is right." Chen Qingzhi and Yu Qian agreed.

What Chen Deng said is naturally correct. Both potatoes and sweet potatoes contain a lot of starch, so they are naturally very hungry.
