Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1448 Zhuge Bows His Head
what?
Hearing Zhuge Jun's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help being surprised.

In this era, the output of food was very low.

When the top-notch fields are good, the output is only two to three hundred catties, and the poor land is only a few tens of catties, and the average is only one hundred catties.This also means that when the weather is good, once the sky is dry and the land is dry, there will be no harvest.

Going out to pay taxes and rent, a family of four needs to cultivate a hundred acres of land if they want to feed themselves.

If there is such a grain yielding 100 catties per mu per year, more than [-] people can be fed with one mu of land.

The whole Dahan has never heard of this high-yielding crop.

But there is no big man, which does not mean that there are no overseas.It has long been heard that Guo Jia's warships can sail far overseas.

The world is so big that there are many wonders, and it is very possible to have such high-yield crops overseas.

This is definitely a fetish!
Zhuge Liang suddenly became interested.

If this crop can be introduced, the famine in Chengdu may be solved.

"Third brother, have you ever seen this kind of crop? What does it look like?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

this……

Zhuge Jun scratched his head.

"When I came here, Xiaodi once ate it. It was very big, weighing about a catty each. It tasted good, sweet and delicious. They said it was sent by Chang'an, and the name was sweet potato."

Sweet potato!

Hearing this name, Zhuge Liang was at a loss.

He is knowledgeable and talented, and he has never heard of this name.

At this time, Huang Yueying suddenly said: "Uncle, you mean they specially prepared it when you came? Did you not eat it when you were imprisoned?"

Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment, then nodded involuntarily.

It seems to be so easy.

That's it!

Huang Yueying nodded, as if she understood something in her heart.

Zhuge Liang chased after Zhuge Jun to ask questions, and seemed to be very interested in that thing called sweet potato.

It's a pity that Zhuge Jun didn't know too well.

After all, I just listened to a few words from the detainees.

"Uncle came from a long way and is also tired. Let's go down and rest first. My concubine has already prepared some simple tea and light meals. You brothers will talk later."

Huang Yueying suddenly said this.

Seeing what his sister-in-law said, Zhuge Jun was too embarrassed to refuse, and immediately stood up and cupped his fists.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Soon, he left with the servants.

Zhuge Liang was about to catch up and ask what happened, when Huang Yueying at the side suddenly grabbed him.

"Kong Ming, why don't you understand. They have already set conditions for us."

under what conditions?
Zhuge Liang couldn't help being a little puzzled.

His mind has been on that crop.

There are 10,000+ disaster victims gathered in Chengdu. Let alone autumn, even if we rush to plant food now, the harvest in the coming year will not be enough to feed so many people.

If such high-yield crops can really be introduced, this problem will be solved.

you!

Huang Yueying shook her head helplessly.

His husband is a smart man, but he was mistaken by his cleverness, and he didn't realize such a simple thing.

"Do you think Guo Jia will let third uncle back for no reason?"

Huang Yueying asked.

will not!

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

If he had caught Guo Jia's brother, he wouldn't have let him back easily.

"Do you think Guo Jia didn't intend to let third uncle hear the news of this high-yield grain?"

Huang Yueying asked again.

will not!

Zhuge Liang shook his head again.

If this high-yield crop is real, it would revolutionize farming and allow people to grow enough food to feed themselves without having to work so hard.

Especially in this era of heroes fighting for hegemony, this crop is definitely a core secret, and it must be kept strictly confidential, and it will never be revealed to others easily.

Ma'am mean...

Zhuge Liang also understood.

"My concubine guesses that Guo Jia must have deliberately passed the news to my husband through my third uncle. What he means is that we can solve the famine in Chengdu with a little effort."

Huang Yueying analyzed carefully.

Not bad!

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "That's what it means."

He is also a smart person, but just now he was a little worried about gains and losses, and didn't realize the information inside.

After Huang Yueying's dialing, she completely understood.

"It's not a problem for us to worry about death in other people's hands. Husband, of course, people won't give us this high-yield crop easily. What do you think he wants?"

Huang Yueying looked at her husband meaningfully.

Zhuge Liang was silent.

The reason why Guo Jia released Zhuge Jun first, and then brought sweet potatoes, a high-yield crop that Chengdu desperately needed, through Zhuge Jun's mouth, was nothing more than to make Zhuge Liang bow his head.

But can Zhuge Liang just bow his head like this?

Guo Jia is Heishui's biggest enemy, and Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui died because of Yunzhou's conspiracy.

But Zhuge Liang did not bow his head, and the 10,000+ people in Chengdu would have no way out.

Of course, he can also leave these 10,000+ people and leave.

But if he did that, it would be no different from bowing his head.

Huang Yueying saw that her husband's face was still a little uncertain, she sighed immediately, and said: "Husband, if Guo Jia is really an unrighteous person, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble. He can wait for the famine in Chengdu to break out completely. Then lead the army to drive straight in and occupy Chengdu effortlessly. They tried their best to make you bow, isn't it for the sake of these 10,000+ people. You are all the same kind of people, let alone hurt each other? You just bow your head and be soft Is it so difficult? Is your face more important than the lives of 10,000+ people?"

Ah!
Hearing what his wife said, Zhuge Liang was suddenly enlightened, and he understood everything in an instant.

The reason why he raised troops was not to fight for world hegemony.It's because he is not willing to be lonely, and it is also to vent his anger for Heishui.

Over the years, Zhuge Liang has been looking for a benevolent Lord, a benevolent Lord who truly serves the people.

It's a pity that looking around today's princes, none of them are as good as Zhuge Liang's eyes. There is only one Guo Jia who he admires, but the two have become enemies again.

Madame was right.

Guo Jia is a benevolent master.

The reason why people do this is because they can't bear the famine that killed 10,000+ people in Chengdu.

I have worked so hard to stay here for these 10,000+ lives, and it is for these 10,000+ lives that people are throwing olive branches at this time.

Since the two have the same purpose, what's the point of bowing your head and being soft?
If you can save these 10,000+ lives, what is the pity even if you die?

After figuring this out, Zhuge Liang instantly relaxed.

"Thank you for your kind words, madam. My husband understands. I will send an envoy to see Guo Jia, hoping that he can save the people in Chengdu. As long as Guo Jia can make the people in Chengdu live and work in peace, I, Zhuge Liang, will let him handle it."

Zhuge Liang finally bowed his head.

He is not doing it for anger, but for the 10,000+ people who are waiting to be fed.

Husband!

Huang Yueying held back tears with excitement.

He finally figured it out.
