Chapter 1935
Manager Xu was stunned when he heard this. This, why did he dislike it? After all, it is a kind of edible potato, and: "Master Hou, this cassava is very productive. Qin Qianhu said that wild ones can be produced per mu. More than two thousand catties, if carefully planted, it is estimated to be close to three thousand catties, which is a rare high-yielding crop."

Ever since Xu You defeated Old Duke Xing and died miserably, and he was able to take over the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest, his heart went crazy. Hearing what Guan Shi said, he frowned dissatisfiedly: "You are a slave of the Xu family. How dare you speak for Qin Sanlang, who is your master?!"

After all, Qin Sanlang is just a servant of his Xu family, and now he wants to listen to Xu You.

Manager Xu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Lord Hou, calm down, it's the servant's fault. The servant is not speaking for Qin Sanlang, but because he doesn't want to hurt the sixth son's desire to help Lord Hou."

Manager Xu wiped away his tears... whether to say it or not, the Xu family loves to cry, from the master to the slave.

Guanshi Xu said: "Sixth Young Master has always wanted to do things for Lord Hou. He knew that the entire Great Chu was short of food, and he also knew that when Long'an Mansion was besieged by military bandits, a grain of soybean was comparable to a golden bean. Seeing cassava, hearing that cassava After the high yield, I was so excited that I cried. I immediately asked Qin Sanlang for the water immersion detoxification method, and wrote back to tell Hou Ye that he wanted Hou Ye to agree to plant cassava, so as to help Hou Ye solve the food crisis... Hou Ye, cassava Although it is poisonous, for the sake of the sixth son, please don't give up so quickly."

"Guan Xu is right." Mr. Qian Shan came in and bowed to Xu You: "I have seen Lord Hou."

Xu You respected Mr. Qianshan very much, and hurriedly said, "Sir, there is no need to be too polite."

He asked again: "Sir, too, do you think the ghost potato is worth growing? But it is very poisonous, and the Marquis was worried about planting it. Before soaking it in water to remove the poison, the ghost potato would kill humans and animals first."

"This Marquis has heard people say ghost potato. That person is a soldier in the northwest. He said that ghost potato is not only poisonous in the potato, but also its branches and leaves. It is too risky to plant such a poisonous substance indiscriminately."

and……

Xu You paused, then looked at Guanshi Xu and the others: "Go out first and wait."

"Yes." Manager Xu hurriedly got up, took three servants out and waited.

After they left, Xu Youcai said: "If we want to plant ghost potatoes, once the yield of several thousand catties per mu is reported, how can Emperor Jing Yuan send us supplies?"

Now he can still use the excuse of lack of food to ask Emperor Jing Yuan for supplies and hoard the supplies, but if he mentions the edible ghost potato, he will definitely not give them any more, given that Emperor Jing Yuan is stingy. Supplies come.

Mr. Qian Shan: "It turned out that Lord Hou was worried about this. Indeed, after the war stopped temporarily, Emperor Jing Yuan gave less and less supplies to the Northwest. And we must stock up more supplies to prepare for next year's famine."

Mr. Qianshan is not a fool if he can become Xu You's respected counselor. He has already predicted that there will be a famine in Dachu next year. Let the war stop for too long, and then use the name of the war to ask for supplies from the capital every month.

It is better to empty half of the twelve big granaries of the imperial court. When there is a famine, the imperial court has no soldiers and no food, and they have to help the hungry people, but they have soldiers and food, and they can attack Emperor Jingyuan at any time to destroy the Great Chu up!

That's right, Mr. Xu You and Mr. Qianshan never wanted to be loyal ministers, and the reason for their disloyalty was related to their backgrounds... What they carried was the legacy of their ancestors, to destroy the Great Chu.

The reason why Xu You dotes on Xu Liu's mother and raises Xu Liu to be his heir is also because of the identity of Xu Liu's mother...Xiniang is not an ordinary family member who was convicted of a crime. Xiiniang's ancestor is a relative of the emperor!
If he hadn't been married and had a son when he rescued Xi Niang, and his original wife had some status in his family, he would have divorced his original wife and made Xi Niang his official wife.

Mr. Qian Shan pondered for a while, and said, "Let's keep the matter of the ghost potato from the capital first, but if we succeed, we will have to bear the rations of the entire Chu people... Since it was Qin Sanlang who discovered that the ghost potato can be eaten, Then let the three guards plant it first. If it grows out and no one dies after eating it for a year, we will ask him to hand over the ghost potato. He is just a thousand households. You are Lord Hou. Ask him for it. He dare not refuse."

It is the reality that the first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death. Qin Sanlang has a thousand households, and he can only obey orders.

Xu You agreed: "Mr. still has a way, so let's do it."

He asked again: "Mr. Qianshan, does Dachu really have twelve big granaries?"

Mr. Qian Shan nodded: "Of course there are. The eight granaries are only on the surface, and there are four big granaries hidden in places unknown to the world, so as to save the Great Chu when it is in danger."

After finishing speaking, he sneered and said, "However, Emperor Jing Yuan is too incompetent, and the power of the Great Chu is almost exhausted. There is a war in the northwest, and a mysterious force has emerged from the northeast, occupying the border between Dongqing and the northeast as king. If you come again next year A famine, not to mention the twelve granaries, even the heavenly soldiers cannot save Da Chu."

Da Chu must perish!
And they endured humiliation for several generations, and finally they were able to restore their ancestral surname in their generation, and they lived in a fair and honest manner.

Speaking of the forces in the Northeast, Xu You frowned, and said: "The King Wei in the Northeast is also arrogant. We contacted him several times, but he didn't respond at all. He has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Don’t take us seriously, and still proclaim himself King of Wei, if he is allowed to occupy the entire Northeast, he can’t directly establish himself as emperor?!”

Xu You was very angry. Originally, Da Chu was at the end of his life. He only needed to negotiate with the bandits. After ceding half of the northwest, when there was a famine in Da Chu and the victims of the disaster revolted, he could lead his troops to the capital to kick Emperor Jing Yuan off the throne. According to the legacy of the ancestors, be the new emperor of this land.

However, a King Wei came out from the northeast.

This King Wei is not only mysterious, but also arrogant, and he is dismissive of him, making a fuss as if he is backing King Wei.

boom!
The more Xu You thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he patted the table, and said to Mr. Qian Shan: "Don't send any more letters to that side, wait until later... That King Wei dares to make himself king, Emperor Jing Yuan will definitely not let him go , when the news reaches the capital, Emperor Jing Yuan will definitely send troops to destroy him. After he is beaten to annihilation, he will honestly come to beg my lord!"

At that time, he will give back the bird's anger he has suffered in the past few months, and let that arrogant King Wei taste the feeling of being angry!
but……

Mr. Qian Shan said with some sadness: "That person proclaims himself King of Wei, I'm afraid he is from the Duke of Wei's family... If he is a child of the Duke of Wei's family, it will be bad."

Mr. Qian Shan looked at Xu You and said, "The Duke of Wei's lineage used to be in charge of the entire Northwest Army. Even though the Northwest Army had been defeated by Emperor Jing Yuan, the people in the Northwest still love the Duke of Wei's lineage very much. Wang Zhen is a son of the Duke of Wei, once he raises his arms, I am afraid that many people will vote for him, which will be very bad for us."

Xu You wants to be the king of the Northwest, but if the descendants of Duke Wei come back, Xu You will still be a fart.
