Chapter 1018 Contrast in Cao Pi's Heart
If any prince had a secret recipe such as fertilizer in his hand, it would not have been made public.
Cao Cao himself doesn't know, and he believes that Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others will definitely not.
Instead, he used fertilizers to secretly gather a group of farmers, or just let the soldiers farm.
How many soldiers can they recruit if the food and grass they have in just two years?
Even in Xinye, a small place, Cao Cao could recruit more than 100,000 troops in just two years.
If, when he was in control of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, there were fertilizers, he could even recruit millions of heroic soldiers.
If he had millions of soldiers and countless food and supplies before, how could he have been defeated by Zhao Hui?
Unfortunately, he didn't have fertilizer, and he still learned it secretly from Zhao Hui.
"Mr. Cao, do you think Zhao Hui had already had fertilizer before?" Cheng Yu guessed.
"He has something better now, so he can promote this unnecessary one?"
Does Zhao Hui have a lot of food and grass?
Cao Cao and the dead Yuan Shao, their answer was - many, very many.
No one has ever been able to print Zhao Hui with the war of attrition.
Even if Zhao Hui's front line is obviously longer, it will be more difficult to replenish and consume more.
However, Yuan Shao never consumed Zhao Hui, and Cao Cao never consumed Zhao Hui.
"Youzhou, Jizhou, I have never heard of fertilizers before. Moreover, the yield of those fields will not be greater than that of us. If there were already fertilizers before, the people of Jizhou would not be so excited now." Xun You said.
"Will it be not in Youzhou, Jizhou? I remember that Zhao Hui seemed to be on the grassland of Wuhuan, which made people reclaim tens of thousands of acres of land." Cheng Yu said.
"And the fields are heavily guarded and covered with fortresses."
Even though he firmly supported Cao Cao, he fled to Jingzhou with Cao Cao's failure and now settled in Xinye.
Cheng Yu feels very powerless every day now.
His heart began to shake. Can Cao Cao make a comeback?
He believed in Cao Cao's manpower, but Zhao Hui was too strong and he couldn't see through it.
Even if Cao Cao makes a comeback and rises again, with millions of soldiers in his hand, can he defeat Zhao Hui?
Don't have the final result, Cao Cao was defeated again in Zhao Hui.
Xu Du, Fu Shou gave birth to a prince and was made the new king.
Then there is news about fertilizers in Jizhou.
All of these are sucking Cheng Yu's confidence. He hopes that everything is fake.
Even if fertilizers can benefit the country and the people, it can allow countless people to eat and wear well.
He also doesn't want such a thing to appear.
Even if Zhao Hui had nothing better in his hands.
But it’s just a fertilizer, even farmers all over the world use it.
In the end, Zhao Hui was the one who made the most profit.
Zhao Hui now controls the six states, and is also the six most densely populated states.
Each acre of land can increase the yield by 50 kilograms. How much more grain can Zhao Hui have in a year?
This is an astronomical number, and Cheng Yu dared not think about it.
And what about Cao Cao?
Even in the entire Xinye, all the people used fertilizers, and the annual increase in grain production was not enough for Zhao Hui.
Next year, Zhao Hui will harvest countless money and grain.
What will Cao Cao fight Zhao Hui at that time?
Even if Cao Cao occupied the entire Jingzhou, Cheng Yu did not think he had much chance of winning.
Now that we want to have the strength to compete with Zhao Hui, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and Xuzhou combined can we have the power to fight Zhao Hui.
Even so, you will still be at a disadvantage.
Not only Cheng Yu, but also many others who came out with Cao Cao, but also many people, and their confidence in their hearts is gradually fading.
And their family is still in Xudu.
Cao Cao has no way to confirm Cheng Yu's speculation now.
The feeling in his heart was similar to Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao naturally had some understanding of what Cheng Yu could see and think of.
But it is impossible to let him give up.
——
Shanggu County.
After two months of traveling through mountains and rivers, Cao Pi finally arrived at Shanggu.
Along the way, Cao Pi lost a lot and darker, but also grew a lot.
As Cao Cao's son, he is naturally not the kind of young man who is rich and well-off.
He has seen the lives of people from all over Yanzhou.
After passing through Jizhou and coming to Shanggu, Cao Pi had met many civilians along the way.
However, they are obviously different from the people of Yanzhou.
The most obvious one is that the people in Youzhou, Jizhou, have many smiles on their faces.
Also, although they are dressed in a very different way from the people of Yanzhou.
But everyone's body was very strong. Cao Pi had hardly seen a few thin people.
Although the faces of those people are dark, they are very healthy.
Even if some people are very thin, they will not give people the feeling of being sick.
They are definitely not those refugees with pale faces and skinny skin.
In addition, there are those kids.
Although the clothes on your body are all patched, your face and hands are clean.
Occasionally, I could hear a few children carrying poems in their mouths and recite a passage called Confucius and Mencius.
Cao Pi had never seen this in Yanzhou.
There are not children in the streets and alleys, but those children are either chasing and playing or helping the work at home.
If you want to hear poetry from your children, there are only those children from aristocratic families.
Although not all children have books to read in Youzhou, Jizhou.
But because of the pinyin, dictionary, and countless books, basically every household will have one or two books.
After children learn pinyin, they can read the words themselves at home.
Moreover, as more people graduated from Youzhou Jizhou College, more and more enlightened teachers have also increased.
In a better village, it is not very difficult for every household to raise money to hire an enlightenment teacher.
Cao Pi walked along the way, passing through more than a dozen cities and countless villages.
Most of the villages have private schools. When he passed by, he heard the sound of reading aloud from the private schools.
This is almost invisible in Yanzhou.
In other words, those aristocratic families may have a private school in the countryside.
But more, it is just those gentry hired a teacher to teach their children alone at home. Children of other ordinary villagers have no chance to study.
Even if you hide at the base of the wall and eavesdrop, you will be driven away directly and even beaten.
During the two months along the way, Cao Pi saw too many different places from Yanzhou.
At the age of sixteen, he felt deeply touched.
In Jizhou and Zhao Hui, his father was not wronged.
However, he was not discouraged by this, but made up his mind that he would surpass all of this.
Yanzhou is no longer his father's, but when he returns to Xinye, he wants to make the people of Xinye live better than the people of Jizhou.
At the age of sixteen, he was full of heroism.
Even if he did not dare to say this, he would not dare to say it.
Why do the gentry in Yanzhou even make people beat them up even if the children of civilians are eavesdropping on teachers in the corner to teach?
