Regardless of how hot the potatoes were, Cao Cao reached out and took one. His hands moved around and he couldn't hold it firmly, so he could only place the potato on the ground, tear off the skin bit by bit, then pick it up and take a small bite.
Soft and glutinous!
Fragrant!
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Potatoes taste very good.
Cao Cao couldn't help but take a big bite. The potatoes were a bit hot, so that the potatoes in his mouth were flipping around. However, Cao Cao couldn't bear to spit them out, and it took him a while to eat them. He ate in small bites, with a look of joy on his face.
Potatoes taste good.
The key thing is that he discovered something. After eating a potato, he originally felt a little hungry, but now it was gone.
Potatoes can satisfy your hunger!
This kind of food is not like other fruits that cannot satisfy the stomach. Potatoes can satisfy the hunger in the stomach.
In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as Cao Cao. People like Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Zhang Zhao are all wise. After trying potatoes, they all discovered the benefits of potatoes and were very excited.
High Yield!
Tastes great!
Can make you hungry!
This is excellent food.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zhao was the first to look at Lu Xuan and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty reigns in the world, so you can have food like potatoes. This is a gift from God, and it is evidence that your Majesty Chengtian has obeyed his command, your Majesty is a wise man!"
"Great King Shengming!"
Cao Cao answered sincerely.
He is even more looking forward to the yield of sweet potatoes, especially now that the yield of potatoes has been confirmed, which means that the yields of other grains will not be bad, unlike what Lu Xuanxin said.
"Great King Shengming!"
Xun Yu also spoke.
"Great King Shengming!"
"Great King Shengming!"
The scholars who came one after another, many of them ate, and kept shouting. Although many people did not eat, they were all happy when they saw this situation, because the huge increase in food production will solve the problem of hunger.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The harvest of potatoes is just the beginning. In the future, not only potatoes will need to be promoted on a large scale, but also high-yielding food crops such as corn and sweet potatoes will need to be promoted on a large scale. Especially sweet potatoes,
It is the key among keys.”
Cao Cao said: "With the king presiding over it, it will be completed smoothly."
Lu Xuan looked at the people under his command and continued: "You have all seen the potato yield. Now, everyone should go back and perform their duties."
In the potato field, only Lu Xuan, Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang were left in charge of digging potatoes.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the potatoes have been harvested, and the food production will definitely increase greatly. But I have two questions."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Father-in-law, please tell me."
Cao Cao said solemnly: "First, Wu has won the victory and the world is settled. When are we going to start conquering the outside world?"
Lu Xuan said: "The matter of external war must be slowed down for the time being. I want to sort out the domestic situation first. As soon as the world is unified, it will directly expand externally, and problems will easily occur internally. Father-in-law, we must not rush into external expansion.
For a while.”
Cao Cao said: "The truth is like this, but I think, can I take the lead? I am responsible for arranging people to inquire about information from the outside world and understand the general situation outside."
Lu Xuandao: "It's feasible. My father-in-law will arrange for someone to investigate. There are two main aspects to be investigated at the moment!"
Cao Cao asked: "Where is it?"
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "First, investigate the situation in the Japanese country. The place where Sun Quan, Sun Jian's son, led his people to escape in the past was a foreign barbarian. Second, investigate the situation in Tianzhu, which is relatively close to us.
an area of.”
"Only by winning these two areas can we expand further. Otherwise, we won't even be able to control the surrounding areas, let alone go west or east across the ocean."
"Everything needs to be done slowly."
"This can't be rushed."
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law can start to organize people in this field. In addition, as for the news about Sun Quan's Japanese country, you should contact Gu Yong, the censor Zhongcheng. He is responsible for the intelligence and has some news about Sun Quan in the Japanese country."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at Lu Xuan again. He felt that Lu Xuan's methods were really clever.
I know so much about the outside world.
In addition, the food supply was also better.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I will contact Gu Yong and make arrangements as soon as possible. The second thing is about the arrangements for Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xun You. At present, they have all surrendered."
"However, when they arrive in Nanjing, they still need to prepare for what duties they should arrange."
"I'm not trying to gain anything. Now that things have happened, I have no thoughts at home. I just think about the king opening up the territory and expanding my territory. I know very well that these people are all knowledgeable people and have the right to do so.
It would be a pity if a capable person is left at home like this."
Cao Cao looked sincere.
He admired people like Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You very much.
Lu Xuan said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, all the talents will not be buried. It's just that the things in my hands must be arranged one by one, and I can't be impatient. Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, and even Tian Feng, Zhang He and Gao
There will be arrangements for visiting these people."
"What I said again is that my father-in-law needs to wait for me to stabilize the situation internally before proceeding to the next step. Otherwise, the step is too big, and if something goes wrong, things will be in trouble."
Cao Cao nodded.
He knew that people like Lu Xuan must have their own rhythm and could not change it at will, so he did not rush him.
But when he met Lu Xuan, Cao Cao mentioned it.
You still have to ask what you should ask.
Cao Cao bowed to Lu Xuan and left.
Lu Xuan didn't care about Cao Cao for the time being. He would make all the arrangements that should be made. However, Lu Xuan's own plans and rhythm could not be messed up at all. He had to eat the meal one bite at a time and maintain sufficient concentration.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhuge Liang and ordered: "Kong Ming, please pay more attention to the potato harvest. Try to finish it as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Zhuge Liang bowed and answered.
He was also extremely happy today, because this potato incident proved that his efforts were not in vain.
Lu Xuan took Xu Chu straight back to the palace.
He returned to the palace and handled the government affairs step by step, and everything returned to normal. After all, the ministers of each ministry had outstanding abilities, and the most important ones were the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, which were the three most important departments.
With Zhou Yu, Mi Fang and Zhang Zhao around, everything ran smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
On this day, Zhang Zhao came to Lu Xuan's palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the time for ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor has been decided."
Lu Xuan was looking forward to it and asked: "When will the time be chosen?"
