Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

High-yield rice?

No more worries about famine?

As soon as these two key words came out, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence after Liu Bei finished speaking.

No one is unaware of what this means to the Han Dynasty today, and no one is unaware of the importance of food.

Liu Bei, there is no need to lie on this issue!
However, this news exploded in everyone's mind like thunder, and it took everyone a long time to react.

Liu Bei gestured to Li Ji, and Li Ji waved to Liu Ji who was waiting outside the conference room.

Immediately, the guards led by Liu Ji placed trays with rice ears on them in front of each person one by one.

Among the generals present, Jiang Qin was born into a poor peasant family and had to lead local militia to make a living for the Jiang bandits; Xu Sheng also came from a poor family, but took the initiative to join the army; even Gan Ning, who came from a noble family, liked to hang out with many poor Jinfan bandits on weekdays.

Therefore, they were not completely ignorant of farming, and they quickly realized that the rice grains on the rice ears in front of them were far better than normal rice.

Based on the rice ears and descriptions brought back by Liu Ji, Li Ji stated that the characteristics of this rice variety are not only high yield, but also drought resistance, short growth cycle, and the ability to grow anywhere.

With the rice ears placed firmly in front of them, every word Li Ji said was like a small hammer gently knocking on their originally dormant warlike hearts.

Gan Ning's hands trembled slightly as he picked up the rice ears. Then he stood up suddenly, and subconsciously kicked over the table in front of him out of excitement that had nowhere to vent.

This sudden commotion attracted everyone's attention, causing Li Ji to frown slightly and shout.

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the lord? Gan Xingba, what do you want to do?!"

At this moment, Gan Ning naturally knew that his behavior was very rude, but he did not care about that and just shouted loudly.

"I am willing to be a hegemon and eat the Han salary, and be a minister of the Han Dynasty. Now I hear that there is a thief named Qu Lian who is causing chaos and splitting the land of Linyi to become the king. I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, so that I can repay the country's kindness and meet the wishes of thousands of common people!"

"Attacking Linyi is indeed a righteous act! I, Gan Xingba, am willing to fight. If I cannot conquer Linyi in this lifetime, I will die with my eyes open. Please grant my approval, my lord!!!"

At the end, Gan Ning knelt on one knee in front of Liu Bei and asked for a fight with a determined look, as if he would hit his head against the pillar to show his determination if Liu Bei did not agree.

It was not until this point that the other generals present reacted belatedly.

"Oh!"

There was another loud bang. Jiang Qin, who had unknowingly acquired some of Gan Ning's style, was afraid that someone else would take the lead, so he simply slammed the table hard. After attracting the attention of the others, he strode to the middle of the conference room, knelt on one knee facing Liu Bei, and asked for a fight.

"What the lord said just now is very reasonable! Linyi has been the territory of our Han Dynasty since ancient times. If we cannot bring it back to the Han Dynasty, how can we face our ancestors?"

"This is not only a battle for justice, but also a battle for the prestige of our Han nation!!"

"Otherwise, if we sit back and do nothing about Linyi today, won't there be more bandits like Qulian who will take advantage of the chaos to tear apart our territory in the future?! We must fight, Jiang Qin requests a fight!!!"

It was true that Jiang Qin was born in poverty and did not know much about the principles, but how could Jiang Qin, who was born in a poor family, not understand what Li Ji had just said about the food? !
The merit of destroying a country is secondary. Bringing back these high-yield rice seeds is the real major event that will be recorded in history and commemorate the founding of a shrine by all the people!

Maybe I, Chiang Ching-kuo, will open a separate page in the family tree to bring honor to our family, and let the people remember Jiang Qin's name for thousands of years, right now.

There is no doubt that Gan Ning, who was born in Sichuan, seemed to have some innate talent in changing faces, and Jiang Qin, who had a lot of contact with Gan Ning, also reacted faster than others. This made Liu Bei and Li Ji smile at each other, but they were not surprised at all.

For the Han people who have maxed out their farming talents, no one can refuse high-yield grain seeds.

Li Ji suspected that if it was completely confirmed that there were grains in the Roman Empire at the end of the Silk Road that could feed all the Han people, then this would be used as an excuse.

It was even enough to make the princes of the world, who had entered a chaotic era, come together in a very short period of time and send troops thousands of miles to Rome to retrieve grain.

Not to mention that now we know that the place where high-yield grain varieties exist is actually in the small Linyi Kingdom which can be reached by the ships of Wujun.

To tear apart the land of the Han people is to tear them into pieces.

It was just because of the long distance that the Han Dynasty had no interest in marching thousands of miles to give the Linyi Kingdom a big fight.

The change in Gan Ning and Jiang Qin's attitude is undoubtedly quite representative of Han people's thinking.

Li Tu was already guilty, and he even had high-yield grain seeds in his possession, so he must be executed on the spot.

Immediately, Liu Bei looked at Xu Sheng, whom he valued the most but had not expressed his opinion, and asked.

"What does Wen Xiang think?"

Xu Sheng stood up and saluted, then answered calmly.

"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. And as the general of Annan, you should send troops to restore order and punish the criminals."

After a pause, Xu Sheng knelt down on one knee and said.

"Xu Sheng is already wearing armor, and he can lead the elite troops of this unit as the vanguard tonight, leading the way for the lord and the army."

? ? ! !
Gan Ning, Jiang Qin.

Hurrah!

You, Xu Wenxiang with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are you waiting here? !
After Gan Ning and Jiang Qin successively established themselves in terms of righteousness and national prestige, Xu Sheng directly discussed from the perspective of responsibility that Liu Bei, as the "General of Annan", should send troops to pacify Linyi.

As for what he said about being willing to be the vanguard, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin wanted to spit in Xu Sheng's face on the spot.

It's not a ground march that requires vanguards to open roads and build bridges ahead. What kind of vanguards are needed on the sea route?
If Xu Sheng really became the vanguard, he might lead his troops to attack Huanglong and capture the capital of Linyi Kingdom in one fell swoop. In this case, what would anyone else have to do?

The next moment, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin spoke almost in unison.

"My lord, we are willing to be the vanguard!"

At this moment, Sun Ce, who witnessed this scene, was so anxious that he lifted his butt unconsciously. He wanted to join the three of them and ask for battle, but he couldn't even think of a reason for the moment.

They have... they have said it all. Sun Ce can't just yell "I also think they are right" and then also ask for a war to conquer the Linyi Kingdom, right?
More importantly, Sun Ce knew very well that only Xu Sheng, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin were summoned to this urgent meeting, and he was allowed to participate and listen, most likely because his teacher interceded for him.

Moreover, Sun Ce will hold a coming-of-age ceremony soon, so the timing just happens to coincide with that. (End of this chapter)
