My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chuanziba ferry.

Niu Fu took the information sent by his subordinates just now, and then, as if stimulated by something, he raised his head and called for someone.

Not long after, two scribes dressed in Confucian shirts rushed over, one of them was still panting, and looked at Niu Fu in surprise.

Niu Fu glanced at the visitor, then placed the information on the table and motioned them to take a look for themselves.

The two scribes looked at each other, their eyes fell on the paper, and they were surprised immediately.

"One hundred shi per mu, this, this... is simply a fantasy!"

"The military division thinks the information is wrong?"

Niu Fu looked at the middle-aged scribe who was speaking, and then motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.

The middle-aged scribe bowed slightly, then knelt on the futon opposite Niu Fu, picked up the information in his hand and began to consider it.

Another scribe, who was still panting, also took his seat, but sneaked a sideways glance at Niu Fu with some guilt.

Niu Fu was obviously also looking at him. Seeing his uneasiness, he shouted directly to his face: "Master Wu, you'd better explain to me why you didn't know anything about such important information when you went to Anyi."

The master wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and replied: "The general doesn't know, this Wei family does have some strange methods, he can grow vegetables and fruits in winter, but what about crops with a yield of one hundred shi per mu? Is it possible, it must be Wei's method to stabilize people's hearts, so don't trust it."

Niu Fu's expression changed, and he felt that it was a possibility, after all, the yield of one hundred shi per mu...is a bit fake.

However, the middle-aged scribes sitting on the side expressed different opinions.

"Master Wu, you said Wei's move was to appease the people, so let me ask you, if these crops are really so productive in three months' time, wouldn't we have missed the opportunity?"

"No, it's absolutely impossible."

The young scribe was quite witty, he suddenly raised the decibel, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this Wei family must be weakening our strength in a disguised form, there is no such thing as a crop with a yield of one hundred shi per mu." of."

"Wei Shi wants everyone to believe their lies and plant all these crops. When we harvest in autumn, we have no crops, but he has a surplus in storage. Yes, it must be like this. This Wei Shi is so deceitful. .”

Niu Fu's face changed, he felt like he was alive after a catastrophe, but he still looked at the middle-aged scribe, "Military teacher, what do you think?"

The middle-aged scribe frowned, feeling in a dilemma.

After a long time, he sighed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "This matter is of great importance. I personally think that we should report it to the Prime Minister and let him make the decision himself. What does the general think?"

Niu Fu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It takes more than ten days to go back and forth this time, in case the timing of spring plowing is missed, then..."

The middle-aged scribe winked at Niu Fu cryptically, and reminded softly: "It's better than falling into the trap easily, and the general doesn't want to take this responsibility, does he?"

Niu Fu squeezed his thick eyebrows together, and finally waved his hands helplessly.

···
Nanyang County.

Yuan's mansion.

This house covers a very large area and is divided into three gardens in total, among which the East Garden is where Yuan's big house is located.

As the first son, Yuan Shu has a much higher status in the Yuan clan than Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao is the eldest son, he is a concubine, and the elders of the clan don't really know him well.

"Uncle Qi, I only need 20 mu of fertile land. Even if there is no harvest in the end, the loss is actually not too big, but if it can be ten times, even if it is only two or three times, the grain harvest of 20 mu will be enough. Enough to do a lot of things."

Yuan Shao bowed his hands to one of the clan elders and said.

That clan elder was in charge of the Yuan clan's property affairs, but unfortunately he was a fan of Yuan Shu and didn't like Yuan Shao, the son of a concubine.

Hearing that Yuan Shao wanted 20 mu of fertile land all of a sudden, Yuan Ai raised his pale eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "At first, you don't need to waste your time, my old man bet with you with 20 mu of fertile land. , you are not qualified enough."

Yuan Shao's face was a little embarrassed, and he looked at the old man beside him as if asking for help.

This old man is also the elder of the Yuan family. In a big family like theirs, there are naturally internal struggles. This man is not in line with Yuan Shu's family. He supports the eldest son Yuan Shao.

"Lao Qi, what I wanted at the beginning was only 20 mu of land. Could it be that my huge Yuan family can't even pay for this loss? Besides, what if the kid was right at the beginning?"

When Yuan Ai heard this, he sneered and said, "The old man has been in charge of the family property since he was 26 years old. It has been thirty years. In terms of understanding of farming, the old man said that he is second. No one of you dares to be the first. Now you tell the old man, The yield of wheat that is less than ten stones per mu can yield three times the harvest, so that’s fine, but there are still crops that yield hundreds of stones per mu, do you think you are growing pears and peaches?”

Yuan Shao was impatient, and retorted loudly: "Seventh uncle doesn't know, but it doesn't mean there is no such thing in this world!"

Yuan Ai's face darkened, "How dare you talk to the old man like that?"

Yuan Shao: "I..."

The old man on the side hastily stopped him, the aristocratic family valued filial piety the most, no matter who was right or wrong, if Yuan Shao continued to argue with Yuan Ai, he would definitely be wrong in the end.

Yuan Shao knew that he was rude, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, got up and apologized with Yuan Ai.

He still didn't want to give up, so he raised his head and said to the other clan elders: "Uncles, you watched Shao'er grow up, how do you see me, you all know that these high-yield crops can bring my Yuan family You must have a good idea of ​​what it is, so I won’t say more, I just hope you can weigh the pros and cons, and think carefully, and don’t judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left with a gloomy expression.

Yuan Shu, who had been sitting at the top, had a smile on his lips. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but it didn't mean he didn't express his opinion. Yuan Ai's strong attitude was actually ordered by him.

Yuan Shu always felt that the Wei family, or Wei Cheng, would not be so kind to help these aristocratic forces. What high-yielding crops must be a trap, the purpose is to weaken the strength of these aristocratic families, and then swallow them one by one.

Outside the gate of Yuan Mansion.

Angrily, Yuan Shao mounted a handsome Dawan horse.

"It's unreasonable, just wait, there will be a time when you old men regret it."

Yuan Shao motioned his subordinates to follow, and rode straight towards the official road.

"The only solution for now is to convince that old guy Han Fu. It's best that this old guy be obedient, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Yuan Shaonong frowned, looked at the young scribe beside him, and said in a deep voice: "You Ruo, your younger brother holds an important position in Anyi, this time you will help me get 20 mu of good seeds no matter what, are you sure? "

The young scribe was none other than Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen. Upon hearing this, he cupped his hands and saluted, "Don't worry, my lord. If Wen didn't come to the news a few days ago, the Wei family will supply as many fine seeds as we need, but I don't know my lord." What kind of crop do you want?"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, looked at the official road not far ahead, and said, "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are the most productive. If we can really reach the yield of [-] stones per mu, after the autumn harvest... we will be able to rescue them easily." Young Emperor."
