Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Sweet Potatoes and Corn
one year later
Within a year, Lu Bu attacked Yangzhou from east to west and surrendered Yanzhou to Han Wu.

Han Wu transferred Tian Feng to be the governor of Yanzhou, and made Wang Shuang the general of Zhendong to guard Qingzhou.

Xu Huang and Zhang He jointly defended Yanzhou against Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Tai Shici guarded Xuzhou, and the governor of Xuzhou was Meng Gong. At the same time, he cooperated with Qingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou to develop the maritime economy.

With the help of Sima Yi, Cao Pi captured Meng Huo seven times, and completely recovered the Southern Man of Western Shu, and his reputation greatly increased.

Cao Ang made great achievements in suppressing the Qiang people, and his prestige is not lower than that of Cao Pi.

Ma Teng and Han Sui once again had internal strife, and Yuwen Chengdu was able to truce and stationed in Shangjun of Bingzhou.

In the Hexiang Bieyuan tonight, Han Wu hosted a banquet for all the officials and soldiers, and all the soldiers and officials stationed on the border came back to report to their orders.

Zheng He returned to Jizhou three months ago. Although more than 2000 troops were lost, he brought back sweet potato and corn seeds!Although the seeds of other crops could not be brought back, they have opened up half of the earth's oceans within a year, which is an outstanding contribution.

Han Fudu was invited by his son to Hexiang Bieyuan, and it is said that there will be unprecedented delicious food today.

On the left are soldiers, and on the right are civil servants. The noble status in Han Wu's heart is clearly visible.

But these are all calm and loyal people present, so naturally no one will make noise.

Han Wu raised the wine cup, respected his father who was sitting next to him, and then got up and said, "Today, I will release a message to tell you that there is delicious food. Actually, it is not considered delicious food, but I will definitely not disappoint you."

"Mr. Xun You, how did the Yingchuan clan survive the famine during the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

When Xun You heard the lord's question, he quickly got up, raised the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he replied: "My lord, some of the Yingchuan clan has food reserves. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, our Xun clan was relatively safe and sound. In the last month, we picked sunflowers and boiled juice to survive."

Han Wu smiled slightly, and continued to ask: "What about Mr. Cui? The Qinghe Cui family was in Jizhou. At that time, Jizhou was the most war-torn, and the food and grass in the family were naturally insufficient. Feng Xiao also told me that picking sunflower juice can save lives. Since then, I Just thinking about a question."

"You may not know that I let the eunuch Zheng He lead the voyage. Many people know it and don't care. They think that even if they go to the ends of the earth, they won't find anything. But today, you will eat the food that Zheng He brought back!"

"I named this thing sweet potato. It can be harvested three times a year, and one acre of crops can get five times that of rice and wheat. Serve!"

As soon as Han Wu clapped his hands, all the maids came up to the hall with plates, among them were roasted and steamed sweet potatoes!A raw sweet potato was placed in the center of each plate for comparison.

The aroma was tangy, and this smell immediately made the hearts of everyone present tremble!
Han Wu waved to a maid, took a sweet potato, and handed it to Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen who were guarding behind.

The two are still adhering to their duties and guarding the safety of the lord.

Han Wu said with a smile: "Everyone, this plate of sweet potatoes is roasted, peeled and eaten immediately, please!"

After Han Wu peeled a small sweet potato, he put it into his mouth and tasted it.

This sweet taste made him quite fond of it, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

All civil servants and soldiers saw that the lord ate first, and they all followed suit, chewing and swallowing.

Cui Yan and Tian Feng's hearts trembled suddenly, they stood up in shock, and said in surprise: "My lord! My lord just said that this sweet potato can be harvested in three months, and it can be harvested three times a year, and the weight of one time can reach several times the weight of wheat and rice?"

Han Wu had already guessed that these two people would be so shocked, he nodded slightly and admitted again.

"My God! This is the blessing of the people! With this thing, how can there be people starving to death in the world? My lord must immediately distribute the seeds of this thing to all continents for the benefit of the people!"

Tian Feng said his words righteously, and clasped his fists at Han Wu with his eyes wide open.

Guo Jia's heart trembled when he heard it, and he quickly got up and said: "My lord, I second the proposal! But I think this thing is the most important thing, and it can also be used to raise troops! I think that the local garrison orders should be in charge of planting, seed crops It cannot be obtained by other princes."

"With this sweet potato, why should my lord worry that the world will be unstable for ten years?"

Guo Jia's words reminded Tian Feng, and he quickly changed his words and lowered his head.

Even the ambition of the lord, Tian Feng was only excited for a while, so he spoke quickly.

Han Wu didn't care about anything, he just glanced at the soldiers who were devouring, and then walked towards them.

"Brothers, is the taste of this food okay?" Han Wu smiled and walked in front of Yuwen Chengdu and the others. The way they ate was quite dignified.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhu Ling and Yu Wencheng all put down the sweet potatoes in their hands, stood up and saluted the lord.

Han Wu waved his hand, did not ask them to say polite words, but just walked back to his seat.

"Haha! In fact, there is another Fan family crop called corn, which can replace wheat. But it is still a step behind the sweet potato, so I will share it with you in half a month."

"After the wheat harvest, corn is planted immediately, and the harvest can be harvested before winter, and the yield is two to three times that of wheat."

"Okay, let's not talk about the crops for now. Cui Yan and Xunyou will start drafting the document from today, and it will be published in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou next year. From next year, every household must have more than three children, both male and female. Yes. If there are more than five, report to the government, and the government allocates food to help the people raise their children. With these crops, there will be no shortage of food and grass next year."

"Too many people starved to death during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. With these crops, the population can return to normal within five years."

As soon as Han Wu waved his hand, he handed over the heavy responsibility to Xun You and Cui Yan.

Xun You and Cui Yan were very excited. They seemed to see the master ten years later, who would rule the world!
Han Wu put the sweet potatoes on the table and asked his father to continue to accompany the officials, and he went to the backyard to rest by himself.

Han Fu naturally understood that his son was going to take care of the children. Su Xiaoxiao, Hua Mulan and Zhen Mi all had children one after another within this year, and now Han Wu had three sons and two daughters.Su Xiaoxiao, this time she gave birth to twins.

At present, only Cai Yan, who is the main wife, has not moved, and Han Wu's mother, Liu Shi, has also guessed something about it.

However, Han Wu already had three sons, so the Liu family did not intervene in this matter.

In the backyard, all the girls were sitting in the gazebo, looking after the one-year-old child.

Xiao Hanyue is also six or seven years old. She is bullying her younger brother while eating sweet potatoes.

Han Hu avoided his elder sister, leaned against his mother, and quietly looked at his younger sister in his mother's arms.

In such a scene, Cai Yan seemed a little lonely and desolate.

Seeing her husband approaching, all the girls got up one after another and saluted Han Wu first.

"Yue'er, how does this sweet potato taste? Seeing that you are eating mashed sweet potato all over your face, girls should be clean."

Han Wu smiled and picked up little Han Yue, but the little guy rubbed the sweet potato on his father's face and giggled.

"Daddy's face is covered in mashed sweet potatoes this time too! How can you say that Yue'er doesn't like to be clean?"

Looking at her father with sly eyes, Xiao Hanyue leaned into his father's arms and continued to eat sweet potatoes.

Hua Mulan sat next to her husband with her daughter in her arms, and asked Han Hu to come over at the same time.

Han Wu frowned, and said to his son, "Hu'er, go to the front yard and sit next to Grandpa. There are a lot of sweet potatoes, delicious."

Han Wu waved his hand and let his son go to the front yard by himself.

After hearing his father's words, although Han Hu was very nervous, he trotted to the front yard immediately after he glanced at his mother.

Hua Mulan was worried when she saw her husband let her son go to the front yard by herself, but she knew it was a good thing for her son!
Allowing his son to get in touch with those civil servants and generals can make him grow faster.There will be less competition for the position of son in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao, Hua Mulan, and Zhen Mi have a very good relationship. They don't want their children to get involved in the fight, but they also understand her husband's temperament.

At that time, even if the children don't fight, the husband will let them compete and experience the cruelty of competition!
