Three Kingdoms: A marriage certificate, the father-in-law is actually Lu Bu

The second option of the Chapter 17 system, high-yielding crop rewards.

The main general fled far away, and the army division was defeated.

The [-] Cao troops on the battlefield in Zhumating fell into a panic.

Without a leader, they were defeated by the two powerful armies of Xuanjiaqi and Bingzhou Wolfqi without exaggeration.

After several waves of the army charged and completely defeated Cao Jun, Chuck drove the horse to Lu Bu's side, and called to Lu Bu who wanted to lead the army to hunt down the fleeing Cao Jun.

"Yue..."

Before the two father-in-laws yelled out, Chuck noticed Lu Bu's fierce stare, and immediately changed the name he hadn't uttered: "Junhou!"

"Don't you want to continue to chase and kill Cao Jun?"

Lu Bu naturally noticed Chuck who was driving the horse to his side, but... the first sentence Chuck said was that he frowned directly.

"Zimou!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Our army is in full swing. It is precisely when Cao Jun is newly defeated that we will kill them all. We missed this opportunity. When Cao Cao reacts, it will be impossible for me to inflict heavy damage on Cao Jun."

Lu Bu's words fell, just when Chuck was about to speak...

The electronic prompt sound familiar to Chuck sounded in his mind.

This……

As expected of you, god-level selection system.

Really will choose to see stitches.

Chuck, who was going to say something, had to temporarily suppress his opening thoughts, and patiently planned to listen to the next content of the system.

[Ding, it is detected that the army led by the host has defeated [-] Cao Jun vanguards on the battlefield, and the system automatically triggers the god-level option. 】

[Option [-]: Accept Lu Bu's suggestion, take advantage of the momentum of the whole army, and continue to pursue in one go.Choose to reward the three thousand stones of Champa rice that was introduced to the south of China during the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

[Option [-]: Preserve your strength, accept as soon as you are good, and withdraw to Xiapi.Choose to reward three thousand stones of corn seeds introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. 】

[Option [-]: Line up the Zhuma Pavilion and confront Cao Cao's main force head-on.Choose to reward three thousand stones of sweet potatoes that were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. 】

After listening to the system's selection prompt, Chuck smiled wryly.

The god-level selection system really gave him a problem this time.

Regardless of the prerequisites for getting rewards, the rewards given by the system alone make Chuck coveted.

Champa rice, as well as corn and sweet potatoes that are only found in the Americas, are all high-yield crops that China does not have today.

With them, once they are popularized in the late Han Dynasty, the population of the Han family will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.

What makes Chuck feel the most painful is.

It's not that he can't get them.

It's that he has to choose between the three, which is a bit uncomfortable.

"Gou System, are you sure you're not playing with me!"

Chuck felt helpless, and cursed secretly at the system.

The system fell silent.

Knowing that the system attached to him will not easily compromise, Chuck looked at the system and listed three options. After weighing it, he said with some difficulty: "System, I choose two! Save your strength and accept it when you see it. Withdraw to Xiapi."

[ps: See the explanation later!The author put cotton seedlings, weeded, picked up cotton, rolled in the sweet potato field, and smoked Tianying in the corn field!Pesticides have been sprayed in the wheat fields, so don't rush to spray them! 】

When he said this, Chuck felt his heart was bleeding.

[Then please ask the host to make a decision to withdraw the army as soon as possible. When the host army withdraws, the reward will be automatically issued. 】

The system prompt tone disappears.

Chuck focused on the options and rewards listed for him by the system.

Honestly speaking, if he had to choose one of the three high-yielding crops without looking at the choices given by the system and not being affected by the factors of the options...

Chuck will definitely choose the Zhancheng rice rewarded by the system, the kind without any hesitation.

Because compared to corn and sweet potatoes, Zhancheng rice is Chuck's most promising crop.

This kind of rice crop was introduced from the Champa Kingdom in the Song Dynasty and spread in the Jianghuai, Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. Cooperate with the local "late rice" in the Yangtze River Basin of Huaxia to achieve two crops a year.

Thus fundamentally, the food pressure in the troubled times at the end of Han Dynasty was greatly relieved.

however.

Winning or losing does not matter.

This kind of thing is only suitable for planting in the south where there are many water areas.

The environment in which Zhancheng rice grew up, innately determines that no matter how much Chuck likes him, he has to reluctantly give up and choose corn rationally.

Without him, corn is not only high-yielding, but also more suitable for farming in the north!

Especially for northerners who mainly eat pasta such as wheat, some people may think that people who eat rice are heretics, but they will never think that people who eat cornmeal are heretics.

Coarse corn steamed buns, corn paste, who has never eaten or drank among the peasants in the north?
From this point of view, crops such as corn, which are naturally suitable for taking root in the north, are very compatible with Chuck's strategy of chasing hegemony.

what is interesting.

For Chuck, who wants to imitate the pre-Qin period and use Guanzhong as the base to fight for hegemony, there will be many lands that are very suitable for growing corn in his future territory.

Guanzhong Plain.

And now there is no soil erosion, it is still a yellow land with green mountains and green waters, and a big river rushing by.

The Guanzhong Plain and the Loess Plateau are used as cultivation bases, supplemented by the cultivation of corn and wheat seeds from the northern part of the current Han Dynasty.

As long as corn can be popularized on the yellow land in the future, under the rotation of the two major food crops, no matter how frequent the battles are, the army under his command will no longer have to worry about food shortages.

Corn stalks are also very useful, and it is not bad for feeding horses or burning land!

Burning corn stalks pollutes the environment?Where can the ancient society be polluted!
Ha ha!

If you immerse yourself in development for ten or 20 years and implement the strategy of accumulating grain, maybe when the princes of the world suffer from food shortages and the population decreases, it is unknown that the population under Chuck's rule will increase significantly.

Although this sentence sounds outrageous at first glance, it is undeniable that...

When the Chinese population of later generations broke through the shackles of hundreds of millions for the first time, it was the time when Champa rice, corn, sweet potatoes and other foreign high-yielding crops entered China and spread widely.

Before that, the population of the people in the Han and Tang Dynasties was only 5000 to [-] million.

Is it because the national power of the two is not as good as the Ming and Qing Dynasties of later generations?

In fact, not all.

The fundamental reason is that the level of productivity limited the development of the two great empires of the Han and Tang Dynasties, making the crop reserves at that time insufficient to feed hundreds of millions of people.

Chuck knew in his heart: Zhancheng rice has great potential, but it is not the most suitable for him.

If he wants to maximize the value of Champa Rice, the premise is that he will flatten the north and then direct his troops to the south of the Yangtze River.

Only then will Champa rice come into play.

Chuck is a pragmatic person.

To him, the current Champa Rice seems to be "flashy" and "tasteless".

As for the sweet potatoes...

He gave up Champa rice, and it doesn't hurt much to give up sweet potato appearance.

After all, although sweet potatoes are also a high-yielding crop and have the characteristics of being easy to live and resist drought, they cannot become a mainstream food after all, and can only be used as a complementary food.

That thing!

Eating too much is not only flatulence and fart, but also abdominal pain and diarrhea in severe cases!

If a lot of sweet potatoes are planted continuously in a piece of land, the sweet potato vines will basically grow vigorously later, and the sweet potatoes produced will only be the size of a thumb.

In other words, sweet potatoes are more demanding on soil fertility than corn. After planting sweet potatoes for a few years, the land will basically be useless.

In this regard, Chuck, who was born as a farmer's son in his previous life, can be said to have a deep understanding.

Sweet potatoes never had the potential to become a major food crop.

If so, the people of later generations would have abandoned wheat, corn, and rice long ago, and planted sweet potatoes on a large scale.

However, you have seen tens of thousands of acres of wheat fields, corn fields, and rice fields on TV. Who has seen thousands... forget it, let alone tens of thousands, who has seen thousands of acres of sweet potatoes land?
Therefore, the protagonists of some novels travel to the ancient times to grow sweet potatoes at the beginning, which is outrageous!
Starting from planting sweet potatoes, when sweet potatoes are planted all over the country, it is estimated that the country will not be far away from subjugation, laugh!
Another reason why Chuck gave up the sweet potato was that he didn't want to fight Cao Jun's main force here desperately for a sweet potato rewarded by option three.

Although he could destroy Cao Cao's army with the strength of [-] Xuanjia cavalry, in the end he only killed [-] enemies and lost [-].

As long as Cao Cao can't be killed in one fell swoop, he doesn't say that it is useless to destroy the 20 army that Cao Cao is leading now, even if it is 30 to [-].

Two dogs fight, play off.

After he and Cao Cao fought to the death, the last laugher would be Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, who is currently aspiring to win the world.

Not only that.

Once more than half of his [-] Xuanjia riders were lost in the land of Xuzhou, what kind of horse would he rely on to ride Xiliang and conquer the land of Guanzhong in the future?

For option three, Chuck didn't think about it at all.

because.

Not worth it!
Chuck sighed, looked up at Lu Bu in front of him, and said to him: "Junhou, do you think I still have the strength to chase and kill Cao Jun?"

After finishing speaking, Chuck pointed to the scorching sun on his head, and then pointed to a black armored knight soldier beside him and said, "You, take off the iron helmet and visor on your body, and let the king have a look!"

The black armored knight soldiers did not suspect him, and took off their helmets and visors in response.

all of a sudden.

What caught the eyes of Chuck and Lu Bu...

It was a young soldier whose vision was blurred by sweat dripping from his hair.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

For the Xuanjia cavalry soldiers who came from a long distance in heavy armor and immediately rushed into the battlefield, and fought a big battle against the scorching sun, their condition is not good at this time, and it can even be said that they are short of men and horses. degree.

Xuanjia.

The focus is on breaking the formation, which is better than destroying the army.

Continuous combat and long-distance raids have never been their strong point.

Forcibly doing that, in addition to shortening the lifespan of the horse, will only speed up the demise of this heavy cavalry army.

　This article introduces too many descriptions of high-yielding crops, and I don't want to!I don't want to explain for fear that everyone will argue endlessly, the protagonist just chose the one that suits him best!
