Xuxian County, Yuzhou, is located on the side of Woniu Mountain. It has beautiful water, which is convenient for water cultivation. It has thousands of miles of plains and is extremely fertile.
The county seat of Xuxian County is Xuchang, the famous place of Cao Wei Longxing in later generations!
At this time, the county seat of Xuxian County did not have a prosperous name, and no one had been running it for several years. When Fang Guang returned here with Cao Cao, it was full of desolation.
Cao Cao's army came from the south, and tens of thousands of elite troops were stationed here. The entire county was like a huge military camp.
After two years of fighting, most of Yanzhou and half of Yuzhou have fallen into the hands of Cao Mengde. The foundation of Minggong has been established, and he has the potential to be a king!
With the new victory of the army, Cao Cao's advisers and generals, in all likelihood, gathered around the lord to discuss important matters, and it was a prosperous scene.
Fang Guang spent dozens of days conquering various parts of Yingchuan. When the army gathered, it was the summer grain harvest time of the year.
When Fang Guang accompanied Cao Cao back to the county seat of Xu County, in addition to the army, vehicles from various places blocked the road into the county seat.
Grain and rice mixed with armored soldiers, accompanied by the neighing of cattle and horses, was a rare high-spirited scene in the late Han Dynasty. Boss Cao could not help but smile and nod while on the horse.
Grain came from various places. The grain, fodder and millet were originally sent to Xun Yu and distributed by your order.
Cao Cao issued a special order to skip this section and put Dongjun's grain and grass directly under the control of Xiahou Dun's inner treasury.
Dongjun is only one county in Yanzhou. Cao Cao's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he has many prefectures and counties under his control. Originally, this order was not a big deal.
It's just that Fang Guang was too ambitious in running Dongjun. The grain trucks leading to Xiahoudun outside Xuchang County were not much different from the grain trucks in other prefectures and counties combined, which made Xun You look very depressed.
Look.
Fang Guang rode his horse, shoulder to shoulder with Xun Yu and Guo Jia, a few steps behind Cao Cao. The other counselors and generals were a little further away.
These details also reveal Fang Guang's special status in Cao Ying.
The four of them discussed Yuzhou's customs and customs together. Although Xun Yu and Guo Jia did not have Fang Guang's plug-in, they discussed the current situation, and he was impressed by what they said every time.
The children of this aristocratic family who monopolize educational resources and the spread of information in the world are ultimately different from others.
If it were not for himself, Xun Yu and Guo Jia would be ranked one or two among the counselors in Cao Ying, and they deserve their reputation.
Outside the county town of Xu County, Meng Gongwei, who stayed behind in East County, arrived here to transport grain, fertilizer and farm tools. When he saw his lord and the county guard arriving, he was filled with surprise and quickly rode forward to salute.
Cao Cao heard Fang Guang talk about this man and knew that he was a hermit from Jingzhou and a talented person. He spoke very kindly to Meng Jian.
"Meng Gongwei, I have heard of your name. A famous scholar in Jingzhou. Isn't it you that Meng Jian who wraps his knees and screams to express his ambition all the time?"
"How much food and grass did you bring to me from Dongjun this time?"
"My lord, East County has expanded 10,000 acres of land this year. It is a year of great harvest for wheat and millet. This time, in addition to the 50,000 hu of wheat and millet retained in the county, the remaining 230,000 hu of wheat and millet will be transported to Xiahou Yuanrang.
In the hands of the general!"
"I am bringing 80,000 dendrobium of corn this time, and I have already dispatched oxcarts from Dongjun County. Nine times out of ten, if I transport grain like this, I will deliver all the summer grain to Xu County three times!"
"How much? How much wheat did you say?"
"My lord, there are a total of 280,000 dendrobiums. When they arrive at my lord's place, there are 230,000 dendrobiums!"
When Meng Jian reported the harvest in Dongjun, Cao Cao was the first to take a breath. The counselors and generals behind him, except Fang Guang, all looked horrified.
You know, at this time last year, there was a severe drought in Yanzhou, and even a few hundred dendrobiums of grain and grass could cause Cao's army and Bingzhou's army to fight to the death.
It was the fertile land of Lusu, east of the Yangtze River, and three thousand bushels of grain, which touched the heart of a proud man like Zhou Yu and made him a close friend.
All states in the world are at war and have been short of food for a long time!
Dongjun, the food delivered this time is 230,000 dendrobium, which is enough to feed an army of 100,000 for two years!
Later, when Yingchuan was working on grain harvesting, Cao Cao was able to collect millions of dendrobium. This was due to the effect of economies of scale. At this time, the grain and rice produced by Dongjun was already the limit of a county's power, and far exceeded what everyone thought.
Set limits.
"Okay, okay, okay, all the counties under my command are like Dongjun. How can there be a hungry and cold place in the world? My Huainan iron armor and yellow turban cattle are well used in Datong!"
In Cao Cao's army, many people in Cao Cao's army originally used copper and iron to cast farm tools instead of weapons and armor. This time, the astronomical amount of food and fodder in Dongjun gave those people no room to talk.
Cao Cao glanced over. Behind him, Xun You heard Meng Jian's words. There were faint beads of sweat streaming down his forehead, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Gongda, how is your summer grain revenue this year?"
"My Lord, Yanzhou Prefecture and Taishan Counties have no grain to harvest, and the remaining crops are newly harvested. This year's harvest is considered to be total. Shanyang and Jiyin Counties, please send us 30,000 hu of grain and rice!"
"Including the income from Runan in Yuzhou, the Yellow Turban inventory is always about 60,000 dendrobium. The grain and rice from Dongping Kingdom have not yet been transported here."
Dongjun alone provided 230,000 dendrobium rice, while the rest of the prefectures and counties under Cao Cao's command only provided 60,000 dendrobium rice. Such a comparison makes Fang Guang's magic more clear.
Although the generals behind Cao Mengde were illiterate and did not know how to count, they all knew that Dongjun in Datong far suppressed other regions.
"Well, it's hard to do. After all, these are all our decisions!"
"Datong, I heard Zao Zhuan say that the land in Dongjun can be planted with wheat and beans without plowing. If so, by the end of autumn, wouldn't there be at least 200,000 grains of rice left?"
"I think that for a great man like you to lead troops to fight, you are underestimating your talent. Under my command, you are in charge of farming and the common people. I can only support the patriarchs of other states and counties in the world by relying on food!"
"Haha, haha, my lord is right, so much food is used to recruit troops. I, Xia Houyuan, will use more troops, the better!"
"I heard that in Guanzhong, ten handfuls of grain can be exchanged for good armor, weapons, and horses. You can choose from them. If the grain from Datong is in the hands of the jackals and tigers of Xiliang, it will be as good as the next state!"
"My lord, please recruit new troops. Yuan Shu from Huainan, Da'er from Xuzhou, and Lu Bu are all waiting to be trampled by my army!"
Fang Guang miraculously gave Cao Ying a very large dose of stimulant, and both civil and military officials were excited. Even Xun Yu glanced at Fang Guang with a lot of envy in his eyes.
Who would have thought that the Yellow Turban lineage, which specializes in plundering and looting, would produce a farming expert like Fang Guang? This is simply a slap in the face for everyone from the famous families in the world.
"My lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the 200,000 bushels of grain and fodder at the end of autumn!"
"Oh? Why, but the chemical fertilizers that increase soil fertility have their limits?"
"No, in the land of Dongjun, I have ordered Zaozhuan to use fifty-six percent of it to grow cotton. This material is the foundation of warm clothes in the world!"
"My lord, this kind of seed was obtained by Captain Shi Huan from Jiaozhou with all his life. The word "feeding and keeping warm" is the welfare of the people in the world. Only with food can we be full, while cotton and cotton-padded clothes can only keep us warm!"
"Although silk is good, it is not available to all people. Although linen is smart, it has no ability to withstand the wind and cold. Cotton is as white as silver and as light as a feather. If it is possessed, it will be impermeable to all winds. Shi Xiaowei went south to perform a righteous deed to relieve our Kyushu.
