In September of the first year of Jian'an, Lu Yan suddenly sent a slightly strange invitation to Cao Cao and others.
The strange thing about the invitation is that its content contains only one inexplicable sentence, "The time to witness the miracle has arrived."
The potatoes planted in early May are already in harvest season.
After digging a small area of land with three veteran farmers, Lu Yan roughly estimated the potato yield in the entire acre of land.
The land was fertile, and under careful care, the yield of potatoes per mu reached 2,500 jins, which greatly exceeded the original estimate of 2,000 jins per mu.
Moreover, when they first started planting potatoes, the old farmers deliberately planted some of the extra seeds in the thin fields next to them. Regardless, when it was time to harvest, half of the potatoes in the carefully tended fields were actually planted.
Yield.
The yield per mu is extremely high, and it is very easy to feed. Apart from the consumption of fertility, it has almost no shortcomings!
The day before the harvest, old farmers A, B and C were kneeling on the edge of the field and burst into tears.
They have lived to this age and have seen too many life and death. Many of them starved to death because they had no food to eat.
The potatoes that Lu Yan gave them to grow were not only easy to feed and had high yields, they could also be used as a staple food to fill the stomach and provide sufficient nutrition. If potatoes had come out a few years earlier, they might not have had to leave their hometowns, and many people would not have had to lose their families...
...
If Lu Yan hadn't often bragged and talked with them, they would have even suspected that Lu Yan was a god in the sky who didn't see the suffering in the world and came down to earth to teach gods.
Naturally, good things must be shared with everyone, not to mention that this will be food that benefits all the people of Han Dynasty.
Tudou, Lu Yan has never told anyone, including Boss Cao, and close friends like Zhao Yun and Guo Jia.
Lu Yan had a lot of mysterious things in the workshop, so others didn't pay attention to Lu Yan's actions at all.
Today, I suddenly received an invitation from Lu Yan, saying that he was inviting them to the workshop to witness the miracle, which aroused the strong curiosity of Guo Jia, Cao Cao and others.
Just arrived,
Outside the workshop, many people were already standing beside the two potato fields surrounded by high wooden walls.
Old farmers A, B and C stood in the field, feeling their legs trembling, and their bodies wanted to shrink to the ground.
Look at the field ridge, Prime Minister Cao Cao, Cavalry General Lu Yan, Taichang Yang Biao...all of them are big bosses!
Cao Cao looked at the some dead crop seedlings in the field that he had never seen before, and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Lu, you called us here just to see this?"
"Exactly!" Lu Yan nodded slightly, with a contented expression.
Yang Biao was also confused, and then he felt a little dissatisfied and said: "I still have a lot of work to do, and I have two very important classes to attend in the afternoon... If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, Changsheng, I will
I will arrange two classes for you on Confucian classics later!"
"Ah!" Lu Yan finally broke through and said with a grimace, "Taichang, you know that Confucianism is my weakest thing, so you'd better let me go!"
"Humph! Ignorant and ignorant!" Yang Biao's words sounded like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
Who would have thought that a person who is regarded as the pinnacle of civil and military affairs by the world would know nothing about Confucianism? It is simply ridiculous and ridiculous!
It's not that Confucianism isn't worth learning, it's just that as a time traveler, Lu Yan learned the most practical subjects. Although Chinese is involved, the overall proportion is not very large.
Not many people came, except for Cao Cao, Yang Biao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Yi Ji, Han Hao, who specially sent the invitation by Lu Yan; there were only Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan,
Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and several people who had the best relations with Lu Yan came over.
"Changsheng, what are you growing in your field? Why have I never seen it before?"
Mao Jie always regarded Lu Yan as his nephew, but since Lu Yan became a hussar general, he never called Lu Yan "boy" again.
"Filial piety, sir, please let me get away with it first!" However, Lu Yan's title remained unchanged. He really missed the happy atmosphere when Cao Cao first launched his army. But he understood that things were different now.
Cao Cao couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "When will it start?"
Lu Yan looked behind him and saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "We can start now!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan jumped off the field ridge without hesitation and walked towards the field.
It was only then that everyone noticed that Lu Yan was wearing coarse linen clothes today, which was very similar to the clothes of the three old farmers who had been waiting in the field.
Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei were also dressed in the same way. When they saw Lu Yan going to the fields, they jumped down after him.
Yiji looked at the battle between Lu Yan and others and couldn't help but said to himself: "With just these little seedlings, do we need a group of peerless warriors to go down and harvest them?"
"Yes! This group of people went out together. Even Yuan Shao would have to take a breath when he saw it..." Han Hao echoed from the side.
He spread out the small folding stool he brought and sat next to the field ridge. Guo Jiahe Xi Zhicai was eating peanuts, sipping health wine, and watching Lu Yan and others working in the fields. Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jiahe Xi Zhicai
Such an exquisite life, a trace of envy flashed in my eyes...
Fortunately, Lu Yan and others did not keep Cao Cao and others waiting for too long.
"Aha!" Lu Yan threw a bunch of potatoes from the field with familiarity and laughed: "My little cuties are finally here!"
Under the guidance of the old farmer, Zhao Yun and others also successfully dug out potatoes from the soil.
However, Zhao Yun was holding a bunch of heavy potatoes in his hand and looking at each other with Xia Houlan, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, his eyes were full of confusion.
Dian Wei put the potato in front of his eyes and asked, "What is this? It looks delicious!"
"A foodie's sense of smell is really keen!" Lu Yan thought to himself as his eyes twitched when he heard this.
Cao Cao and others just watched Lu Yan and others throw out the things in the soil and put them into the backpacks that had been prepared.
The objects thrown out of the soil were as big as fists and as small as soybeans; they were reluctant to miss any of them. After pulling out all the potatoes, they turned over the field twice, and did not stop until they confirmed that nothing was missing.
.
Looking at the boxes of potatoes in front of him, Cao Cao asked in confusion: "Mr. Lu, what exactly is this thing?"
Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Lu Yan felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied, "It's called potato, it's a crop, it's food!"
"Potato? Never heard of it!"
"food?"
"Lu Qiaoqi, you said this is food? How many stones does this cost?!" Han Hao got the point.
Lu Yan replied calmly: "It's almost 2,500 kilograms, which is just over twenty stones."
"Mom! The yield per mu is more than 20 dan, and that's it???" Dian Wei felt as if he was already stupid.
No, not only Dian Wei, but also Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Mao Jie and others were all dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were holding fist-sized potatoes in their hands and were looking at Lu Yan's side face blankly, as if they were back to the night when they swore allegiance to Lu Yan under the moon.
"Sir, he is a god walking in the human world..." Xia Houlan murmured to himself.
Zhao Yun nodded slightly and echoed: "Yes, if you are not a god, how can you bring such a divine thing?"
