Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206 [Unbelievable! ! ! 】

As he said that, Gong Shuming took out a stack of paper full of words and said, "Here are the details of the construction of the two academies, but this is only a preliminary estimate in the early stage."

He handed a stack of papers to Lv Bu, and Lv Bu looked at the result, and found that it was a detailed list of manpower and material requirements, "It's really quite a lot, you should also take a look, add up the total, and fully cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Industry."

Chen Gong, Chen Gong, Hua Tuo, Cai Yong, Cheng Bing, Qin Yun and others circulated it to each other, and then Hua Tuo said: "Is it too big? Such an academy can bear not only 1000 people, but even [-] people." Bar?"

The required labor, stone, wood, etc. are too much, which greatly exceeded Hua Tuo's expectations.In his opinion, there are no more than 2000 people in Jiaozhou who can study medicine at most, and building an academy that can accommodate [-] people is overkill.

"What Miracle Doctor Hua said is true, it's too big. Why don't we divide a part of it to build another academy, where everyone can have the opportunity to study. There is no such academy in Jiaozhou. I wonder if it is possible?"

Cai Yong opened his mouth, seeing two drawings of the academy before, he was thinking about this matter. [Hua Shen Medical College] and [Sinong College], after all, are just special academies, they don’t need to be built on such a scale, so it’s better to reduce the area and build an ordinary academy.

Cheng Bing and Qin Yun nodded slightly, approving Cai Yong's thoughts.

"Everyone Cai is thinking about it." Hua Tuo also agreed.

On the other hand, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu. He knew that the reason why the two academies were built on such a large scale must have been decided by Lu Bu in advance, otherwise Gong Shuming would not have made such a blueprint.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Although there are not many people in Jiaozhou now, in a few years or ten years, the number of people here will increase several times. At that time, the academy will not feel too big, but too small."

"And the construction period of the two academies is also divided into three phases. The first phase is to build a school, buildings and canteens that can accommodate about 2000 people; the second phase is to build the library and experiment pavilions, as well as the school and accommodation that can accommodate about 3000 people. After the final stage is completed, the academy can accommodate at least tens of thousands of teachers and students."

As he said that, Lu Bu looked at the crowd and found that they were a little surprised and doubtful, and continued: "Maybe you still don't believe it, let alone have new paper and printing technology, and wait for three or four months, when the sweet potatoes are harvested, You wouldn't think it was a dream."

sweet potato? . Everyone almost forgot about this thing.At that time, Lu Bu discovered this thing and asked the three counties to plant it in large quantities. Millions of acres of land have been planted.

In this era, there are only two problems: food and people.With enough food, more people can be retained and many things can be done.

At present, the grain in Jiaozhou will not last until the next harvest season, and it is still tight.And to build five new counties and two academies, a lot of food is needed.

Lu Bu suddenly mentioned sweet potatoes at this time, which surprised everyone.They don't know what the sweet potatoes that will grow in geography now look like?Whether it can be eaten, whether the yield is high, whether it can be used as a substitute food... They don't know.

In this meeting room, apart from Lu Bu, Qin Yun, a small farmer who belongs to the Department of Agriculture, knows the most about sweet potatoes, and is looking forward to the harvest of sweet potatoes.

He said: "My lord discovered that the whole body of the sweet potato is full of treasures. The tip of the sweet potato can be used for cooking. I believe you have already tasted it. More importantly, the sweet potato vine can feed livestock, pigs, cows, sheep, horses and other favorite food. "

"Perhaps you only focus on the cultivation of food and ignore the huge potential of livestock. Livestock is the main source of meat for the people, and to some extent it can make up for the scarcity of food."

"As long as there are enough livestock, a lot of meat can be provided. Not only can the diet be improved, but more importantly, it can increase the objective income of the people, thereby improving their lives."

The sweet potato tip can be cooked, and it is very delicious, crisp and tender, and everyone has tasted it.As for the ability of sweet potato vines to feed livestock, it has such a great effect as Qin Yun said. It was the first time for Gong Shuming, Cai Yong, Hua Tuo, and Cheng Bing to hear about it, and they expressed surprise and surprise.

"Sweet potato tips are indeed a delicious dish. It's just... I didn't expect its vines to be a favorite food for livestock." Cheng Bing felt a little queasy in his heart, and it was hard for him to accept eating the same thing as livestock.

Cai Yong glared at Cheng Bing. He had been through hardships. He ate wild vegetables when he was suffering. He said sullenly, "What's the matter? Isn't grain also the food that livestock like? What's so strange! "

"I heard that the general ordered people to use sweet potato vines to raise a lot of guinea pigs. Maybe the green sweet potato vines can really bear delicious fruits, which is very exciting."

Everyone went to Hua Tuo Medical Center to see a doctor, so what happened in Hua Tuo Jiaozhou was still heard, but at that time he didn't pay much attention to the matter of feeding livestock with sweet potato vines.

"My lord knows sweet potatoes well, so I wonder if I can disclose its fruit yield?" Qin Yun saluted Lu Bu, and then asked.

Yield of sweet potatoes?Lu Bu really didn't think about it, the sweet potato seedlings provided by the system should not be bad, but in this era there is no chemical fertilizer, and it can only barely be irrigated with manure, and half of them are planted on newly reclaimed wasteland, so the yield is definitely not as high as that of modern times.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu still wanted to remember that when he was a child digging sweet potatoes, an acre usually weighed two to three thousand kilograms.Modern weights are not the same as those of this era.

In this era, one stone is about sixty catties in modern times.Calculated by reducing the production to one-third of one mu, there are still about [-] kilograms. If it is replaced by stones, about [-] stones of sweet potatoes can be produced per mu.

Lu Bu thought about it, and said: "About one mu can produce about 120 shi of sweet potatoes, and nearly 600 million mu have been planted, and a total of about [-] million shi of sweet potatoes can be produced."

"Thirty shi per mu! Rice is only three or four shi per acre, nearly ten times the yield, which is amazing! If it can be used as a kind of grain to fill the stomach, there will be more than 3000 million shi of grain, which is unbelievable. "Qin Yun was shocked.

"If that's the case."

Hua Tuo, Cai Yong, Cheng Bing and Gong Shuming were also inexplicably shocked.

Chen Gong was thinking in his mind, the treasury now has more than 300 million stones of grain, which can last for nearly a year, so what is the concept of more than 3000 million grains? The more he thinks about it, the more unbelievable it becomes.

But Lu Bu came and said: "Sweet potatoes should not be the most staple food, although they can be used as a substitute for grain in times of emergency. But it is better to eat half of it with grain at ordinary times. After food and clothing are solved, the surplus can be fed to livestock and promote large-scale breeding of livestock."

Lu Bu said this, but it made everyone feel better. If more than 3000 million sweet potatoes were used as a staple food, the impact would be incalculable.However, even if it is mixed with food, it can still be used as food for nearly 2000 million.
