Chapter 95 High Yield Grain
After Liu Bu and the others were riding under the grape trellis for a while, they held Chen Yuanyuan's hand and kept wandering around the garden. He felt the pleasure of holding the road with his beautiful girlfriend after dinner. He only noticed now that his garden was actually extremely large. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be no garden with a second private home in the entire Jiaozhou area.
He occupied nearly three acres of land, with many rockery, strange rocks, strange flowers and plants. The Liu family is considered the third generation of wealth and has accumulated relatively good capital and foundation.
In this huge garden, the evening breeze is blowing, the cool breeze is blowing, and with the beauty accompanying him, Liu Bu feels refreshed and happy.
Chen Yuanyuan had nothing to deny now. She said happily: "Actually, what I like most is the garden here in your house. It is too big, and it has all kinds of strange flowers and plants. It is simply the dream world."
Liu Bu said proudly: "It's good that you like it. This garden took a lot of money and manpower. It took decades to reach its current scale, which is much larger than the yard in Linqing."
He was thinking about the large park museum and the strange flower and grass museum in later generations, probably that was it.
Liu Bu was walking and suddenly saw some very strange vine grass. He ran over and saw him a little shocked. He said in surprise: "Isn't this sweet potato?"
Chen Yuanyuan held a small fan and walked with Liu Bu's hand. It was not until now that Liu Bu threw her hand away. He ran over excitedly, shouting at a pile of green vines, and said strangely: "Young Master, why does this pile of vines and grass attract your attention?"
Liu Bu still said the same thing, and he said, "Isn't this a sweet potato?"
Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, and she said, "I don't know."
Liu Bu had nothing to hesitate, so he immediately ordered a gardener who was following him to come, and he said, "Call you who are in charge here."
The Liu family's garden covers a huge area, reaching three acres, so there are special people here to take care of it, and there are more than one person in charge, there are several people in charge, and there is also a head in charge of the business. Of course, he is not at the level of the housekeeper, but at the level of the housekeeper.
The little butler immediately ran over to ask Liu Bu and said, "Young Master, what are your instructions?"
Liu Bu asked directly: "Isn't this sweet potato?"
The little housekeeper said: "Young Master is indeed very eye-catching and knowledgeable. This is one of the strange flowers and plants sent by the Master of the Zheng family. Don't look good, but its roots are rich in sweet potatoes, which are crispy and sweet, and have a high yield."
When Liu Bu saw these sweet potatoes, he laughed to the sky and said wildly: "God helps me, and God helps me."
Chen Yuanyuan rarely saw Liu Bu being so disobedient and laughing wildly. She asked in surprise: "Why is the young master so happy?"
Liu Bu said, "Now God really helps me! Yuanyuan, you really benefit your husband, very much." He said ecstatically.
Liu Bu never expected that there was something in his own garden that he had been looking for. It can be said that if he hadn't had a beautiful girl here in the room, he would not have been able to visit the back garden and would not have found such a thing.
Chen Yuanyuan said in surprise: "Why did the young master say this?"
Liu Bu asked the little manager: "How many such sweet potatoes do we grow here?"
The little housekeeper said, "It's mainly for viewing, but there are some sweet potatoes at the root. We took them to the kitchen and used them to cook sugar water to eat."
Liu Bu said, "Do you know how to cultivate this kind of thing?"
The little housekeeper said: "This kind of thing is very drought-resistant and easy to grow. As long as it is planted underground, it will naturally be produced. There is no question of knowing how to plant it, but the small ones do know how to plant it."
Liu Bu said without hesitation: "I reward you with ten taels of silver. You want you to prepare. I will call a special person tomorrow, and you will be responsible for teaching them to grow this sweet potato."
When the young butler saw that Liu's troops were so generous, he only cost ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to his annual salary. He was so happy that he even said to Liu Bu: "Thank you, Mr. Mr., Mr., you are blessed and long-lasting." He thought for a while before asking: "How many are you going to plant, Mr. Mr.?"
Liu Bu said, "If you help me pull out all the seeds here, you will have to plant as much sweet potatoes as you plant, and if you have as many seeds as you have, you will have to plant as much sweet potatoes as you have."
Sweet potatoes are a good thing, and it is famous for its high yield crops.
There has been a rule in China since history that when the population is large enough, there is not enough food for the people to eat, and then these people begin to rebel and rebellion. This is one of the reasons why the dynasty cannot live for 300 years.
Liu Bu found that the population in ancient times could never exceed 100 million. The main reason was the problem of food. Whenever the population expanded to a certain extent and there was not enough food, it began to enter a situation of self-destruction. However, when the Qing Empire was in perfect solution, how did they solve it? The land would not grow. They introduced famous sweet potatoes and potatoes, high-yield crops such as corn greatly increased the yield. With enough food, the population began to grow wildly. The so-called Kangxi and Qianlong periods in history were actually the dividends brought by sweet potatoes, and some people also called it the sweet potato empire.
Liu Bu was always wondering where I should find this legendary thing. It is said that sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced from Luzon as early as the Wanli period. The Ming Dynasty promoted it in the coastal areas of Fujian, but because the rulers did not pay attention to it, they could not promote it in the north. He thought he would not see these things, but who knew that it was actually for him to see it.
Liu Bu almost made him dance excitedly. He thought that if he had sweet potatoes, he would not let him fly. As long as he had enough food and more food in his hands, it would be amazing.
Then Liu Bu expanded the scope of his search again. He thought that my garden might be filled with strange flowers and plants, many of which were legendary artifacts and objects. As a result, he went to search for it, and it really made him find what he was looking for. He found potatoes and corn here.
Liu Bu no longer doubted his protagonist's halo. He danced happily and kissed Chen Yuanyuan fiercely.
Chen Yuanyuan actually liked it very much, enjoying Liu Bu's passionate and unrestrained love for her so much, but in front of so many servants, she felt a little embarrassed, and covered her face with a small fan and said, "I'm not serious."
Liu Bu took all the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in front of him, and he directly asked the little housekeeper: "You all know what these things are, right?"
The little housekeeper said: "Yes, know, every time we introduce something, we will understand and analyze it, and then know what it cultivates."
Liu Bu was so happy that he said, "Very good. Go and help me take out his cultivation experience immediately. From tomorrow on, I will vigorously promote these things. In the Fushan area and Jimo area, all wastelands and open spaces must be planted with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn."
The little housekeeper said: "These things are just the young master we usually plant to watch..."
Liu Bu said directly: "Are you questioning me?"
Even in the 21st century 400 years later, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes are still one of the major foods in the world. With these things, let alone feeding hundreds of millions of people, it is not a problem to support 6 billion people. This is a big killer.
Liu Bu didn't care. He knew that it was the Little Ice Age and people in this era had a general problem, that is, it was a kind of happiness to be able to eat a full meal, and only the landlords could barely eat a full meal. It can be said that as long as he had enough food in his hands, he could recruit soldiers and dominate the world.
So after he saw these legendary artifacts, he ordered his full promotion under his rule without hesitation.
Liu Bu knew the same thing. As long as he could solve the problem of food, let these people have enough food and wear clothes, he could solve the main problem of this era. It is estimated that the general trend of the world is that they stay at home.
Liu Bu had nothing to hesitate about. He stayed here and was not in a mood to hold the road with Chen Yuanyuan. He immediately returned to his duty room and asked his butler Liu Fuqi to come.
Liu Fuqi was an old man. He was about to go to bed after dinner. Then the young master summoned him urgently and he came over immediately.
Liu Fuqi asked, "Young Master, you urgently summoned Yu Laonu, what's wrong?
Liu Bu said directly: "Uncle Liu, our Liu family is really going to make a fortune this time."
Liu Fuqi said, "What do you mean?" If it were usually that he would think that Liu Bu was bragging and doing something unreasonable, but now he saw Liu Bu turning coarse salt into fine salt with his own eyes. He knew that their son was actually like their master, a wise and foolish figure, and if he didn't want to be sobbed, he would make a big splash. Now that he was doing his best to take charge of the career in the family, he began to explode.
Just like their masters back then, they were more playful than they are now. Now the young masters were just eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling in Linqing. When their master was young, they were even more unrestrained. They had to walk around the world with swords and traveled for several years, and they almost didn't piss off the old master to death. However, one day, when he returned to his family and took over his career, he managed the entire family's career in an orderly manner, and the entire family's career was raised to a higher level.
The young master now looks a bit as handsome as the master was bursting out with all his strength back then.
Liu Fuqi was the one who was with the master back then. He watched with his own eyes the Liu family changed from an ordinary powerful family to a top wealthy family, and won the nickname of the Liu family in Linqing, which is the most wealthy world. He saw the master's power at that time.
