Chapter 684 Cao Cao is shocked, the grain yield is three thousand catties per mu?
Lu Xuan said sternly: "Does my father-in-law think that I can lie? In other words, if I lie to you now and you expose it in the future, won't it make me appear incompetent. It is impossible to tell lies about such a big matter in front of everyone.
talk."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan, this is a serious matter, I want to ask about Fengxiao."
Lu Xuandao: "Bring Guo Jia here."
Cao Cao was surrounded, Xingyang City had been taken, and Guo Jia, Xun You and Cheng Yu were all under control.
These talents are of great use to Lu Xuan.
On the surface, it has surrendered Cao Cao and recruited many of Cao Cao's advisers and generals, with a large number of personnel. In fact, once it expands externally, the talents are far from enough. In order to keep up with the progress of expansion, it is necessary to further cultivate the talents of the younger generation.
Not long after, Guo Jia came over, looked at Cao Cao, bowed and said: "Your Majesty."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Fengxiao, look at the map on the ground. This was drawn by Lu Xuan. It is said to be the current world map. Lu Xuan said that the territory of the Han Dynasty was not the largest among other countries?"
Guo Jia also looked at the ground.
He looked at the territory of each territory, saw Europe and America, and saw other regions.
Guo Jia also looked shocked.
Very surprised.
Is the world like this?
Guo Jia also studied and knew that there were many small states in the Western Regions and knew the situation in the Western Regions, but Guo Jia did not know anything beyond the scope of the Western Regions.
Guo Jia took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said in a deep voice: "King Wu, are the countries other than the Han Dynasty really so big? Are they even wider than the Han Dynasty? The Han Dynasty leads to the Western Region in the north and the East China Sea in the east. The north is bitterly cold in the south.
Humidity and heat can be said to be the only part of the world. Is there really a territory larger than that of the Han Dynasty?"
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly.
This is the limitation of the times.
Even though the abilities of Cao Cao and Guo Jia were first-class in this era, even though they were thoughtful and knowledgeable, in terms of the world structure, because they had no contact with it, they did not know the world structure.
This is due to vision.
Lu Xuan explained: "Of course there are countries with a wider territory than the Han Dynasty. The European Roman Empire and the American Federation I just mentioned are all such countries, and they are governed by strong men."
"In addition, there is too much information that you don't know. Simply put, the grains produced by the U.S. Federation are better. Our millet is nutritious and nourishes the stomach and people, but in terms of yield, it is far inferior to the grains produced by the U.S. Federation.
kind."
Cao Cao was very sensitive to food. When he heard Lu Xuan's words, he asked: "How many of the grain seeds of the United States Federation you mentioned will be produced after planting?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you might as well take a guess."
Cao Cao said without thinking: "You said the yield is higher, then, can it produce 500 catties per mu?"
Lu Xuan shook his head.
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "A yield of five hundred kilograms per mu is already very large, could it be even greater?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Father-in-law, guess again."
Cao Cao said: "Can it weigh seven hundred catties?"
Lu Xuan still shook his head, with a relaxed and comfortable look on his face, and said, "Father-in-law, make a bold guess, don't limit yourself."
hiss!
When Cao Cao heard Lu Xuan's words, he couldn't help but take a breath.
A yield of 700 kilograms per mu was already an unimaginable yield in the Han Dynasty. There were no chemical fertilizers and grain seeds in this era, and the grain seeds were not the best, so the yield per mu was very low. A family with more than ten acres of land was very productive.
It's normal, because the output is not enough, and because there is so much land, we have to make do with it.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan seriously, blinked, and was shocked inside.
Judging from Lu Xuan's appearance, there should be more.
What kind of fetish is this?
Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and then started to talk higher, and said solemnly: "Is it possible to achieve a thousand catties per mu?"
Lu Xuan still smiled and shook his head.
The pupils in Cao Cao's eyes shrank and he turned to look at Guo Jia. The emperor and his ministers looked at each other in disbelief. The information Lu Xuan had and the food situation Lu Xuan had completely surpassed him.
Guo Jia took the words and said boldly: "King Wu, can the yield per mu be 1,500 kilograms?"
Cao Cao followed and looked over.
Lu Xuan looked at the guessing and shocked expressions of the two people, and felt funny in his heart. He shook his head and said, "It's still not right."
Cao Cao's body was trembling slightly. The yield per mu was more than 1,500 kilograms. He really couldn't imagine how high the yield was. If the Han Dynasty in the past had more than 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu,
, the people can live a living, and it is impossible for them to follow the Yellow Turbans to rebel.
If he had such grain crops in Yanzhou in the past, which could produce more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, he would not be struggling and worrying about grain every day.
Food is the most important part.
This is a question related to whether you are hungry or not.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan, how many pounds is it? Just tell me directly."
Lu Xuan replied: "Father-in-law, I currently have several kinds of grains with high yields. The highest one is sweet potato, with a yield of at least three thousand kilograms per mu. In fact, it is better to cultivate it, use more manure for irrigation, and then choose good land to increase the yield per mu.
Four thousand kilograms is not a problem. For inferior potatoes, it is easier to produce a thousand kilograms per mu."
Gudong!!
Cao Cao swallowed his saliva.
He imagined one acre of land producing four thousand kilograms of grain, but after thinking about it, he couldn't imagine it.
Because there is no such concept.
Cao Cao still felt unbelievable in his heart. He smashed his mouth and looked at Lu Xuan. There was hope in his eyes, but he also doubted: "Lu Xuan, the yield of four thousand kilograms per mother can be said to be incredible. Are you sure that you can really do this?"
Has it reached such a point? From ancient times to the present, there has never been any food that has reached such a point."
Guo Jia also nodded solemnly.
He found that the knowledge he relied on was completely suppressed in front of Lu Xuan. He exhausted all the knowledge in his mind and had never heard of such food.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Father-in-law, Mr. Guo, did the Han Dynasty have garlic, cucumbers, walnuts, grapes and other foods in the past?"
"No!!"
Cao Cao shook his head.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "So China's food is not the most comprehensive. Garlic, cucumbers and walnuts are all passed back from outside. Now, the same is true for the food I have just mastered."
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and peppers are all brand-new foods. We will start planting them this year and we can start promoting them after they are harvested at the end of the year."
"At that time, the people will benefit."
"Thousands of people in the Han Dynasty were able to fill their bellies and were not threatened by hunger."
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao and said seriously: "Father-in-law, when I mentioned the territories outside China and the greater yields of grain outside, I didn't do it to shock you, nor did I do it to make you laugh.
"
"My purpose is to let you know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
"Besides China, there are countless territories."
"You think that after I unify the world, I will be able to let my horse go to Nanshan, I will have a truce, and I will be a cunning rabbit and a running dog. That is impossible. In the future, I will conquer a huge territory. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, where the rivers are
To, they are all territories under my rule, Lu Xuan, and they are all my China."
A powerful aura emerged from Lu Xuan's body.
Lu Xuan's ambition was clearly revealed.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan in front of him, and he suddenly wanted to understand why Lu Xuan gave him a different feeling. Because Lu Xuan's vision, knowledge, and even structure were different from his.
This is the difference.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao and solemnly said again: "Father-in-law, are you willing to help me to sweep the world?"
