Chapter 637: Stop talking nonsense, because my brother is worrying about the country and the people

"Zhan Po is known as 200,000 troops. In fact, the army that truly belongs to King Zhan Po will not exceed 40,000, and the army that belongs to the heads of various tribes will not exceed this number. The so-called 200,000, but even those people who are shouting with bamboo spears can get this integer."

When everyone heard Yang Gongren's naughty words, they couldn't help but smile. Even this young master couldn't help but smile. This guy is worthy of being a family with Yang Shidao and Yang Gongdao. He is cautious, but he is quite funny and very popular.

"After several years of work, our evaluation of the combat effectiveness of Champo State is level three." Speaking of this, Yang Gongren gestured three fingers. "Although our Jiaozhi Corps is only 50,000, they are all elites among the elites. In addition, we have done a good job in the previous few years, and we have actually mastered nearly one-third of the territory and combat effectiveness of Champo State."

"So, as long as there is no major mistake in this battle, you will definitely be able to capture the entire territory of Zhan Po."

"Well, by the way, Ruhui, let's talk about the customs and customs of Jiaozhi area." I nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui nodded, stood up, walked to the sand table, and began to tell the story with a finger. The rich minerals in Jiaozhi and Champa, the excellent harbor, and the grain that was cooked three times a year, as well as various necessary spices produced in the tropical regions... In short, every time it was said, it would make the hearts of the civil and military ministers attending the meeting go all the way.

In particular, food is the most important supporting factor for the Chinese nation, which represents the most orthodox agricultural civilization. According to the conclusions obtained by the intelligence department in recent years, the number of land owned by the Jiaozhi land and the Champo state is about 15 million acres.

This is because many areas lack manpower, and these native barbarians are lazy and greedy, and they are reluctant to cultivate them even if they have enough food. According to information, in this large area, the rice fields that can be reclaimed should actually be between 4,000 and 4,500 acres.

However, even so, if the rice output of 15 million mu of rice can be obtained every year for three seasons, it will be about five stones of grain every year. In other words, this area alone is close to the current amount of grain produced in the Bashu area, and the total population here is only more than one.2 million.

Everyone grinned, like a bunch of hippos waiting to be fed by the keepers. Even if northerners eat less rice, so much food is used to relieve disasters or ensure national food security, which is definitely a good choice.

In addition, a large potato was produced there, which was a staple food introduced by some Tumans in the mountainous area of ​​Champo Kingdom from India. This large potato was carefully cultivated and studied by the agronomists sent in the past and obtained very detailed data.

This kind of cassava yields a lot of food. Although it is toxic to eat raw, it can obtain a lot of potato flour after treatment, which is a very good choice for making wine.

Well, when I heard about this kind of thing, I was shocked by this young master. I thought that a time traveler had already traveled to this era in advance and brought the sweet potatoes from the American continent to Asia.

Later, after seeing the real thing, I realized that this big potato is native to India. It is perennially wrapped in grass vines. The wild tuber is mostly oblong cylindrical; the cultivated tuber is more mutated, oblong cylindrical, conical, spherical, flat and round, overlapping, or has branches.

It is irregularly cylindrical, similar to the size of sweet potatoes. It has light brown to brown yellow on the surface, with longitudinal wrinkles, and often has unremoved traces of corundum. It is solid in texture, with a light yellow on the cross section, and a small amount of light brown dots. It is odorless, sweet and slightly sour in taste, and has a sticky texture.

No matter how I look at this thing, I feel it is a bit like the yellow-core sweet potatoes eaten in later generations. However, in order to be safe first, I still handed it over to the Royal Medical Association. After research by members of the Royal Medical Association, I determined that this thing is non-toxic and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, nourishing the lungs and kidneys.

When eaten after cooking, it tastes soft and glutinous, and it tastes a bit like a combination of yam and sweet potatoes, and it also has a yam fragrance. The most suitable thing is cooked food, whether it is steamed or fried, it has a good flavor. However, it can only adapt to the southern climate, namely the Prai region, Lingnan region, southern Yunnan and Jiaozhi region are suitable for cultivation.

The yield is not small. The native barbarians in Jiaozhi land can also produce an income of about 300 kilograms per acre of land. With the careful management of the farmers stationed in Jiaozhi, the yield reached 500 kilograms.

Such yield is indeed very large. What is important is that it can grow in any place, no matter it is in a hot area, no matter it is in a mountainous area or a low-lying area. Lingnan, Li and southern Yunnan are all mountainous and few plains, and this thing is very suitable for planting.

It is also resistant to storage. After being wrapped in wet mud, it is placed in a cool ground kiln. It has no big problem to put it in for two years. This yield and the food that can be stored for a long time is really gratifying for me, although the output is far inferior to those high-yield staple foods from the New World.

But before the footprints of the Chinese Empire set foot on the New World, these things were relatively high-yield staple foods that we urgently needed.

At present, I have ordered that the trial planting in the area of ​​Li County will be good, but it has not been fully promoted. In addition, the Jiaozhi area is really a Feng Shui treasure land. Not only can the food be transported out while ensuring self-sufficiency, but various minerals are also very rich. There are also many excellent wood for building ships, with trees of more than a hundred years old.

According to those old shipwrecks, with such good shipbuilding materials, they are sure to build even a ship of one or two thousand tons, not to mention a ship of five hundred tons.

Although this statement seems a bit exaggerated and boasted, it also shows that high-quality wood is the foundation of shipbuilding. The wood used in the boats built in Hancheng County was far inferior to Jiaozhi in terms of material and year. Now, with such a large area of ​​high-quality materials, I believe that the first thousand-ton-level fly-scissor or lucky ship can be launched in the water for up to two to three years.

At that time, I believe that going to Liuqiu Island or Mindanao will become easy.

When I got home, my sister brought my little nephew to the door. The little guy was as white and tender as a doll in the New Year painting. Everyone he saw was smiling like a good person. He was really a bit like his father's smile. However, he was still not as good as my two daughters. Well, in my eyes, my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world. Of course, my two wives are not inferior.

"Brother, thank you. You helped my husband and father-in-law again." Wugui stood beside me with a clever smile, but his eyes kept following her son and nephew. He looked satisfied and peaceful. At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little moved. The girl who was in front of me had grown into an adult, a wife and a mother.

It’s no longer the little girl who follows me and shouts to cheer for my brother all day long.

"It's okay, doing this for my brother is not just a kind heart." I smiled. There was nothing I could not say about my own girl.

Wugui nodded in understanding: "My little sister knows what my brother thinks. Brother, you are not only to help my husband and father-in-law, but also to the future of China."

"Do you know? Regardless of whether my younger sister is married or not, I am your sister Changsun Wugui. My younger sister believes that you, brother, you are the most qualified emperor of this era." Wugui's clear and impurities-free eyes were quiet, with a few admiring eyes, and seemed so friendly, just like the past.

"It would be even better if you think so." I took a deep breath, shook off my inner feelings and nodded. It seemed that my girl still understood my brother very much.

"But brother, since you have made a glass mirror, why don't you even take care of your own sister?" Before I could finish my complacent, Wugui, the girl, came up with a smirk and asked.

Damn, it must be what the two prodigal women said, otherwise how could my sister know that the glass mirror has been made? However, now is definitely not a good time to show off. This young master squeezed out a sincere and kind smile and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wei will naturally not lose his sister. However, this period is still in the trial production stage and has not been fully prepared. When it is really done, Brother Wei will definitely give it to my sister as a gift."

"Well...then thank you brother." Wugui then took off his anger and said with a smile.

How could this girl know that my young master's bedroom is covered with glass mirrors. Now, after entering, it will make people unable to find the east, south, west and north. Well, at night, after lighting the candle, the whole room looks so crystal clear, especially when it comes to the woman, as exciting as she is.

"Brother, why are you drooling?" Wugui said curiously. I was so scared that I jumped and quickly wiped the corners of my mouth. "Stop talking nonsense, I am worried about the country and the people for my brother."

"Tsk, it's weird if you believe me. By the way, my sister-in-law said she wouldn't take me to your bedroom to visit. What's the secret?" Wugui asked curiously, so scared that I was so scared that I jumped up. If this girl went in, it would be weird if she didn't hate me, the brother. She had a mirror all over the room and didn't even give her a piece of it to her girl.

"Uh, the decoration has not been fully renovated yet, so the bedroom is temporarily closed." I quickly squeezed out a smile and explained. Then I threw a grateful look at the two wives, which was exchanged for two cute rolling eyes.
