My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

"There are many aristocratic families. After all, those medicinal materials are worthless at all. Herbal medicines are all over the mountains and plains."

What Wei Min said is the truth, people in this era have very poor knowledge of herbal medicine.

Just like Wei Yan himself, any middle school student in later generations will know that dandelion can clear away heat and detoxify, but he only knows that it is a kind of grass.

The limitations of cognition and the lack of attention to Chinese medicine made him and those aristocratic families regard herbal medicine as worthless.

Perhaps they know only those ginseng, snow lotus, and fleece-flower root that are really sure to be great supplements.

No wonder a good medical practitioner has to add the word "servant" at the end...Medical servant, no matter how it sounds, it is not a good title.

Wei Cheng was not in the mood to give Wei Min the importance of popular science and Chinese medicine. At this time, hearing him say that many aristocratic families are interested in exchanging herbs for food, Wei Cheng couldn't help but have a "vicious" plan in his heart.

The next day.

A notice was posted again on the scene in Anyi.

This time Wei Cheng increased the number and types of herbs needed to one hundred.

Moreover, Wei Cheng also carefully disclosed the cultivation methods of various herbs, which clearly pointed out which areas and landforms are suitable for the cultivation of which herbs, as well as the economic value that this herb can bring.

For example: Dendrobium officinale, ten catties of grain for one catty of fresh dendrobium, directly shocked everyone's jaws.

This is much simpler than growing food directly!
Moreover, one catty of herbs can be exchanged for ten catties of grain. No matter how the herbs are landed, it seems impossible to lose money in this business, right?
Xie's mansion.

Mrs. Xie was still sitting by the small pond fishing.

It's just that there are many people behind him today, and these people are the heads and talkers of famous families.

In terms of seniority, Mrs. Xie is the oldest in Hedong County. No matter what, the family under the leadership of the Wei family, with Mrs. Xie at the head, all want to hear his thoughts and opinions.

Wei Cheng's so-called strategy of exchanging herbal medicine for food is actually Chi Guoguo's conspiracy in their eyes.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, who knew Qi State's "Threading Silk and Expansion of Frontiers"?
The so-called expansion of frontiers through silk is the so-called "planting mulberry and destroying the country" for small countries such as Lu and Liang.

This allusion must be known to many readers who study economics, even if not, perhaps readers with great powers have heard of it.

Back then, Qi State came up with such a trick in order to take down Lu State and Liang State, and didn't want to spend a single soldier.

The whole country of Qi respected silk fabrics, and the price of silk fabrics increased dozens of times in just a few months, and silk was continuously purchased from abroad.

When the surrounding small countries heard the news, they planted a large number of mulberry trees, hoping to make a lot of money in the coming year.

After two or three years like this, small countries such as Lu and Liang no longer saw half an acre of cultivated land, and all the fertile land was planted with mulberry trees.

At this moment, Qi State suddenly stipulated that the whole country should not wear silk fabrics.

Lu Guo and Liang Guo could only look at the mulberry trees all over the mountains and plains, and sigh at the ocean. The people were so poor and the country was so poor that they were taken down by Qi State within a few years.

This is probably what it means, a typical economic war between countries.

"Xie Lao, please show us the way."

"Whether Wei Shi's move is to go through the silk and expand the frontier, please let Mr. Xie make it clear."

"Mr. Xie, I see that Mrs. Xie is also secretly collecting herbs. Does Mrs. Wei have other ideas?"

Mrs. Xie was sitting on the futon, slightly holding the fishing rod with both hands, with her eyes downcast, in a fixed position.

Everyone was talking behind him, as if they couldn't disturb his leisurely mood.

In fact, it is not the case. At this time, Mrs. Xie's mind was also very entangled, and she sighed that this grandson-in-law had created a big problem for him... But he knew that it was Wei Cheng's conspiracy, so he couldn't make a sound at this time.

Because neither he nor anyone else could let go of the huge profits.

In this era, food and cloth are the eternal currencies. As long as there is a large amount of food, the family's dominance will not be relaxed.

Although they have already allocated a large amount of land from Wei Shi, and spring plowing has already started.

However, it will take at least three months to wait for the harvest.

And [-]% of the food in Hedong County is in the hands of the Wei family, and the so-called landlords have no surplus food, and they are talking about them now.

This is also the main reason why so many families gather here.

In fact, it is to seek empathy. As long as you are also "cheated", then it doesn't seem to matter that I was cheated once.

We all know that it is Wei Cheng's conspiracy to trick them into planting herbs, but, facing a tenfold profit difference, who can not be tempted?

Everyone is betting that they can turn the medicine field into arable land before Wei Shi does not want herbal medicine, so as not to become another Lu State and Liang State.

However, they didn't know that Wei Cheng was not targeting them.

A tile house in the south of the city.

Two middle-aged men dressed as scribes sat facing each other.

Cheng Yu, courtesy name Zhongde, was born in Dong'a, Dongjun County, Yanzhou. He was No. 1 recommended by Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun, Zi Yuan Rang, um, still has two eyes.

"Brother Zhongde, what do you think of this matter of exchanging herbs for food?" Xiahou Dun is not just a reckless man, he has already seen through the intention, but he also wants to hear Cheng Yu's opinion.

Cheng Yu is also Yunwen Yunwu, a rare talent, and he joined Cao Cao's command with soldiers and horses, and now he is very respected by Cao Cao.

This time the two came to Hedong together. It was originally arranged by Guo Jia to secretly purchase a batch of iron tires to go back to expand the armament. The iron tires smelted by Wei's Longshan have already been sold to the outside world. Although the price is not cheap, they are really good iron tires. what!
"Yuan Rang is calm and don't be impatient, let someone think about it carefully." Shandong Dahan also has a careful time, and it is really tangled when he gets entangled.

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and stared blankly at the stables outside the window for a while.

At this moment, a man dressed as a groom rushed in from outside the door.

"Two generals, please take a look at this latest notice."

Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun got up at the same time, and were vigilant about their surroundings, for fear that the noise would draw Wei Shi's attention.

"Hey, why does this so-called Baishu look so familiar?" Xiahou Dun asked with a frown.

The person who came smiled and nodded, "The general also recognized it, do you still remember the small hill outside our city? The general went hunting there last time."

Xiahou Dun was startled for a moment, then overjoyed, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's definitely those shrubs, but I don't think it's called Atractylodes macrocephala."

The visitor said excitedly, "General, look down."

This time it was Cheng Yu who read the words on the paper, "One catty of Atractylodes macrocephala is exchanged for three catties of grain, and one catty of white peony root is exchanged for five catties of grain..."

Atractylodes macrocephala, white peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, isatidis, honeysuckle, rehmannia glutinosa, licorice, and safflower are all Chinese herbal medicines with relatively high yields in Heze County in later generations. Where is Heze located?
It is the territory of Yanzhou in this time and space.

The paper not only marked the value of these herbal medicines, but also carefully noted the artificial cultivation and cultivation of these herbal medicines.

Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up, and the risk had already been automatically filtered out.

Don't say that the food in this era is not high enough, but the three times, four times and five times the profit, in their view, it is a business that can make a profit without losing money. How can there be herbs to make money growing food?
