Of course, although Liu Bei thought that this fact was a bit too extravagant, he did not directly dissuade him, because whether it was extravagant or not was meaningless to Chen Xi. Sometimes Liu Bei carefully considered his current living standards and compared the two emperors Huan Ling. To be honest, I feel that Huan Ling is aggrieved.

This is Liu Bei's relatively simple, but his wife Zhang and his side wife Wu Yuan would make something outrageous from time to time, such as Zhang's seafood from time to time to time to replenish Liu Bei, and Wu Yuan often imports some strange things from Rome.

These things are not worth a local value, but they must be able to lively when transported to Chang'an. To be honest, the difficulty coefficient is very outrageous.

Anyway, Huan Ling would definitely not be able to eat it. The historical record of the best thing Ling Emperor eats is Hu cake. This thing is made with sesame, walnut, etc. imported from Europe. It is considered a very high-end thing. However, after Chen Xi took office, walnut crisps, peanut crisps, pistachio crisps, sesame crisps, and they are sold everywhere.

The price is not too low, but it is much cheaper than the ones that Lingdi ate as tributes back then, and the quality is much better. Even during festivals, for example, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Xi and Liu Tong had a private relationship and made a large amount of peanuts into peanut crisps. Then when the mooncakes were released, Lingdi knew about it, but he didn't know what it felt.

So Liu Bei didn't discuss it with Chen Xi very much. Liu Bei had at least considered the changes in the times. Chen Xi was too buggy in this regard.

"Wait, Duke Xuande, what are you thinking?" Chen Xi scratched his head and realized what was going on with Liu Bei. It seemed that Liu Bei thought he was a little extravagant again.

"I'm not giving it to me. I'm mainly trying to improve these fruits." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei helplessly and said, "The melons used to be only big in their fingers, but now they have big fists. This is to increase production."

"There are also oranges, which used to be small and astringent, with more seeds. A tree grows. Now, after research by a professional team, with various methods such as pruning branches, sparse flowers and fruits, grafting and improvement, the fruits have become fewer, but the overall yield increases, and the taste becomes better, and the seeds have become fewer." Chen Xi scratched his head and looked at Liu Bei with helplessness.

"So this is not a luxury. This is the same agricultural production increase theory as Hanmou. These things require technological improvement and investment in human resources. It is impossible for God to drop a finished product..." Chen Xi explained to Liu Bei with a gesture.

However, Chen Xi was silent as he talked, because he remembered some magical plants, such as rice, a common rice in ancient China, which was slightly different from the current rice. The fruits of this thing were long and several centimeters long. During the Shang, Zhou and Spring and Autumn Period, it was a very orthodox mainstream food, and was later eliminated.

Because after this thing was infected by some fungus, it changed from rice to stalk-eating vegetables. The bamboo shoots that Chinese people often eat now are the stems of the staple food of stalk-eating rice.

From a certain perspective, this thing is really a thing God sees that humans are too naughty and directly dropped a reliable finished product.

So God is still very reliable, at least he gives him enough face occasionally.

"Well, although God still loses some finished products occasionally, we still need to improve and apply them to make these things taste better and increase production. After all, after the soil fertility problem is solved, it is very important to increase production." Chen Xiyi said righteously.

Liu Bei was silent for a while and nodded. If this was the case, Chen Xi's behavior was undoubtedly correct. So Liu Bei took another orange and studied it, confirming that this thing was indeed bigger and sweeter than before, and it was also considered to be an understanding of Chen Xi's way of thinking.

"Sharpening a knife does not delay chopping wood. If this thing is bigger and better, you must invest enough time and energy." Chen Xi said with a smile, "But this investment is completely worth it in my opinion. The human resources of thousands of people are very important, but the output is greater than the loss of resources by several thousand people, which is worth it. After all, this kind of thing is a continuous output."

Chen Xi also wanted more than a dozen cookies to improve all kinds of mainstream fruits, vegetables, fungi, herbs, grains, etc., but this is not realistic, so Chen Xi could only rely on a huge team to build it up. Although it is far inferior to cookies in terms of cost and output, it is always better than not doing it.

"If it's this reason, it's really very sufficient." Liu Bei nodded and said. Compared to doing these things for the sake of his mouth and bringing such righteousness for the sake of the people, it would be very convincing to others.

Chen Xi nodded silently. To be honest, the meaning of his improvement is more to eat better. For the sake of the people, it is just to popularize it after the previous step. Chen Xi's thinking in some aspects is close to that of Xiangli, and he also recognizes Xiangli's popularization theory. If a thing can only be used by aristocrats, it will not be correct in any case.

"Taiwei, the magistrate of Anguang County has prepared supplies to hold a banquet in front of him." Just as Chen Xi and Liu Bei were chatting, Huang Tao refreshed in front of the two. Recently, Huang Tao and Su Zong have taken over the scouts and investigation teams, and their mobility is relatively outrageous.

"Mr. Anguang County, I think about it, Huanzhi, right?" Liu Bei recalled for a while and said, "He was arranged by me when I passed by."

"A soldier?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"Do you think I can know a few other people in the army?" Liu Bei curled his lips and said, Chen Xi thought about it for a while, nodded, it was indeed the case.

"But he was born as a soldier, shouldn't he be a county magistrate? How could he be a county magistrate?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"Jiaozhou used to be a remote village, so why did so many people arrange for them? So when no one came, he was asked to temporarily take the position of county magistrate as a county magistrate." Liu Bei was not embarrassed at all.

"This is how it should be developed now." Chen Xi nodded and said. Jiaozhou has a great disadvantage, but after the port is opened, the takeoff speed is very fast. In addition, the sugarcane plantation, a place with a climate-eating environment, will not be too bad.

"I don't know that. Even when I came to Jiaozhou last time, I didn't come to such a place." Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Speaking of this, Huan Zhi is actually from Jiaozhi, so I was quite happy when I was put back here, and I don't know what the situation is now."

Chen Xi's mouth twitched when he heard this. The so-called Jiaozhi people were actually Vietnamese in later generations. No wonder they didn't mind that they came here to be the county magistrate before they developed. For Jiaozhi people, it was actually considered a northward migration.

"Let's go and have a look when you pass by. We have a lot of people. The counties and counties in Jiaozhou may not be able to provide sufficient supplies like the counties before." Chen Xi said.

After all, there are more than 7,000 people, thousands of frames, thousands of cattle and horses, and people eat and chew horses. The consumption of a day is quite large. The counties and counties in the north are relatively prosperous and have complete supplies. When they arrive in Jiaozhou, these counties provide food, but it is difficult to provide other ones.

However, when the army arrived in Anguang County, Huan Zhi and more than 300 people had prepared sufficient supplies and local specialties.

When Liu Bei greeted Huan Zhi during this period, Chen Xi clearly saw Huan Zhi's eyes glowing at that moment. It was obvious that Huan Zhi never thought that Liu Bei knew him. You must have only seen Liu Bei twice and said less than three sentences.

So Huan Zhi was obviously very moved, so he just took off the county magistrate's robe and picked up his weapons to go to the Ganges with Liu Bei. Unfortunately, the veterans led by Liu Bei and the minor officials who followed him were dissuaded.

Relatively speaking, Huan Zhi's strength can no longer keep up with the trend of the times. He did hear it well at the beginning, but he has been busy with political affairs over the years, and some of it is training. It is okay to fight chores, but Huan Zhi really can't fight these veterans who followed Liu Bei.

"What we produce here is this sugarcane juice, and here is sugarcane wine. We produce other things in Anguang County. This can help you fill everyone. It just so happens that you are here is the season." Huan Zhi scooped a bowl of sugarcane juice with a spoon and greeted the veteran.

This place mainly planted sugarcane, and there are many plantations. Chen Xi’s position on this place is planting sugarcane. In addition to being a commodity or a war preparation material, sugars are very worthy of large-scale reserves in any aspect.

However, the problem now is that no matter how the Han Dynasty builds a plantation, there is not enough sugar.

On the one hand, the Romans ate sugar without bottom line, and on the other hand, the Central Plains ate sugar without bottom line, and the sugar factory was not enough to make money for these two people. Therefore, the Han Dynasty has been promoting the sugarcane plantation, but the effect is not very good.

To put it bluntly, the Chinese in later generations had to eat 30 kilograms of sugar per year, but this data is actually a low data compared to European and American countries.

Therefore, Huanzhi invited veterans to drink sugarcane juice next to the juice factory. With such a strong foundation, can he not be able to control his fullness?

This group of veterans did drink a refreshing, sugarcane juice with heavy sugar flavor, light sweet sugarcane wine, and various fish and coconut products from Jiaozhou's specialties. The veterans were so happy to eat it, saying that they would pass by when they came back.

"It seems that the development here is indeed good. Although Huan Zhi was a little confused, he did not look embarrassed. Moreover, the quality of fruits, vegetables, meat and rice is basically the same, and the supplies are very sufficient." Liu Bei said with emotion.
