Chapter 101 Ma's Farm
Ma Chao walked forward with confidence, flanked by two beauties with their own merits.

One is naturally Ma Chao's personal servant Yun'er, while the other is Cai Yan who hasn't shown up for a long time.

Ever since Ma Chao accidentally took away Cai Yan's first kiss last time, Cai Yan rarely took the initiative to meet Ma Chao.This time, Ma Chao had the cheek to call her over from Cai Yong, saying that he wanted her to accompany him to see the new crops.

Cai Yan didn't want to go at first, but Ma Chao couldn't help coaxing him left and right, so he had no choice but to come with him.However, along the way, he still looked left and right, unwilling to meet Ma Chao's eyes at all.

After arriving at Ma's Farm, Cai Yan found that this place was quite different from other farmlands. Not only was there a stone wall built around it, but there was also a post every three steps and a post every five steps. The precautions were very strict.And looking at the eyes of those soldiers, it can be seen that those are veterans who have experienced many battles, and their military accomplishment and protection ability are all top choices.

"Brother Chao, what kind of exotic flowers and plants are planted here that make you so closely guarded?" Cai Yan couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't help asking.

But Ma Chao just smiled, and said with a mysterious face: "You will know when you go in."

Cai Yan seemed to approve of it, but Yun'er at the side began to tremble all over: "Young master, the servants should not go in, lest they see something they shouldn't see, and then the young master will kill the servants to silence... ..."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao's face was full of black lines, and Cai Yan also asked in horror: "Brother Chao, did you ever want to kill her?"

"I really want to kill her now... I can't even speak. If I really want to kill her, how can she still be with us at this time?"

"Oh." Cai Yan and Yun'er nodded at the same time, but the nodding didn't mean the same thing: Cai Yan was just expressing approval, while Yun'er was just a lucky escape...

Ma Chao glared at Yun'er again, and stepped into the gate of the farm.

After entering the door, the three of them saw that there was only a few fractions of land in this farm, and the rest of the land had already been plowed and plowed. It seemed that they were going to save it for next year's cultivation.

And in that fraction of land, countless unknown crops are growing well, looking verdant.Some old farmers are tending the crops that have sprouted at this time, and they seem to be very serious.

After getting close, Cai Yan suddenly realized that she didn't know any of these crops.Although Cai Yan is also the daughter of a noble family, she has traveled with her father since she was a child, and she still knows a lot about grains and crops.But right now, she was in trouble.

But Ma Chao, at this time, squatted on the ground affectionately, stroking the unknown plant carefully.Looking at his eyes, it seems to be a little more eager than looking at Cai Yan and Yun'er.

"Brother Chao, what exactly is this plant? Why has Yan'er never seen it before?" Although it was Cai Yan who asked, Yun'er's puzzled eyes also expressed the same meaning.

Ma Chao didn't seem to hear Cai Yan's question at this time, and was still looking at the potato plant intently.At present, these potato seedlings are growing very well. They have grown to a height of half a foot in more than half a month. The leaves are green and dense, covering the entire stem.It just so happened that there was a light rain last night, and the occasional drops of rainwater leaked down and splashed crystal water on the leaf surface. When the green leaves tilted down, the remaining rainwater slid down the leaf surface, and the leaves fell in a flash. Disappeared in a thick shadow.Such beautiful scenery really made Ma Chao a little obsessed.

From this point of view, these crops have been well taken care of during the half a month that I have not been here often.It seems that the old farmers selected by Brother Chou from the slave market are indeed good at tending the crops.Loosening the soil, watering, catching insects, fertilizing, etc. It seems that everything has been done well.

Ma Chao has made a plan. After these new crops grow, they will all be made into seeds. After one year, these crops will be able to cover the farm.And at that time, he must have plans for the land in Fufeng County, and then he can vigorously promote these crops.Build Fufeng County into a demonstration county for new crops in the late Han Dynasty, so that all the people in the late Han Dynasty can taste the crops that will be millennium later.

And Ma Chao is more confident that with his new crops, he can also create a one-stop model for the production and sales of Dahan's new crops.At that time, the people at the end of the Han Dynasty will benefit, and I will be rich in wealth.

When Ma Chao was drooling and imagining that there would be no more famine in the future for the big Han peasants, a stout man staggered up to Ma Chao, apparently to take care of these crops. , also knowing that Ma Chao's status is definitely not low, so he didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly by the side waiting for Ma Chao to come back to his senses.

But Cai Yan saw the old farmer, and stretched out his hand to push Ma Chao.After Ma Chao came back to his senses, he seemed to be in a daze and heard Cai Yan ask him something, but he didn't hear clearly, so he said to Cai Yan: "Yan'er, what did you ask me just now?"

"I'm asking, what kind of crops are these? Why haven't I seen them before?" Cai Yan pouted angrily: Never mind the modern and ancient times, women in any era are like this to those men who ignore them. virtue.

"Hey, little fairy doesn't know something. These crops, let alone those of you who have never been in the field, even the old man has cultivated crops for decades, and he has never seen such a crop. Only the wheat in that piece of wheat can be recognized by the old man. , but the wheat grows too well, as if it has been enchanted by magic..." The old farmer chattered while loosening the soil for the potatoes.

Ma Chao thought it was interesting, so he interjected, "The old man doesn't know something. The wheat is winter wheat, that is, the wheat that can survive the winter. Have you ever thought about what it means to have wheat that can survive the winter in Fufeng County?"

"What? This is impossible?!" The old man was a little angry, and said angrily: "I have planted crops for several years, but I have never seen a crop that can survive the winter. If these wheat can survive this winter, the old man will eat it!"

"Then do you know what these things you are serving now?" Ma Chao did not fight against the old farmer at all. After all, it is difficult for people to accept a product that has surpassed an era without any curative effects.

"The old farmer doesn't know, but he only knows that it's the fairy grass planted by the little master in Fufeng County." The old farmer shook his head, with an expression of resignation, and muttered: "The old farmer has planted crops for decades, and he has never been planted." I have seen such crops... Could it be that the little master was deceived by someone?"

"Old man, this is not some fairy grass, but it is definitely several times more useful than fairy grass!" Ma Chao, with the air of a village leader, was showing off to those bumpkins who had never seen the world: "You don't know, This is a new food crop. This thing is called potatoes. It grows on sandy land and dry land, and its yield per mu is astonishing. Someone heard that the yield of this thing has reached an astonishing [-] shi per mu outside the region, and it is resistant to storage. After harvesting , as long as it is stored properly, it will not spoil in the next year, and it is suitable for food and food. Poor people can survive even if they don’t eat food, but only eat potatoes. Now you understand why the little master attaches so much importance to these crops, don’t you?”

After Ma Chao finished speaking, there was no response, and he looked up to see the old farmer with his mouth open, his eyes were out of focus, and he was completely in a state of fugue.Ma Chao secretly smiled, and looked back, Cai Yan and Yun'er, the two little beauties, were not much better than the old farmer.

After a long time, the old farmer came to his senses and asked hesitantly, "How do you know so clearly?"

"Because, I am the 'little master' in your mouth." Ma Chao replied with an extraordinarily enchanting smile.
