Without the civil servants, generals, beauties and heroes in the novel, Yuan Shu would inevitably feel a little disappointed. It was just a divine arm crossbow. He also knew that it was the trump card of the Song Dynasty, but what the hell is a potato? Isn't it just a potato? A god-level seed?
"The host is really blind. Do you know what the current popular corn yield per acre is?"
The system's sound suddenly rang.
"The yield per mu must be about a thousand catties~"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth and came.
"That's not right~"
"Then how much do you think it is?"
Yuan Shu frowned.
"In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the average yield of corn was three shi per mu, and one shi was about 100 kilograms. This means that the yield per mu was only 300 kilograms, which was 70% less than the thousand kilograms you mentioned."
The words about the system made him a little surprised. It was too different. One acre of land only weighed three hundred kilograms, and each soldier's daily rations cost three and a half kilograms. It seemed that his ideal of raising 100,000 soldiers would be put on hold for the time being.
"Even if the yield of corn per mu is 300 kilograms, the maximum yield of potatoes is only 1,000 kilograms. Why is it called a god-level seed?"
"Haha~"
Yuan Shu felt a strange feeling~
"If you have anything to say, get out of here."
"Potatoes are well-known high-yielding crops. The most common varieties can yield more than 2,000 kilograms per mu, and high-quality crops can reach 4,000 kilograms, which is eighty shi. The lowest yield per mu of God-level potatoes selected by the system is also 3,000 kilograms.
More than kilograms, if cultivated carefully, the maximum yield per mu can only be ten tons."
"Ten tons~"
Yuan Shu only felt that his whole body was strong. What is the concept of ten tons per mu? One ton is equal to two thousand catties, and ten tons is twenty thousand catties. When converted to Han law, it is two hundred shi.
Two hundred stones, if people in the Eastern Han Dynasty heard about it, they would be frightened to death, and even if they were not frightened to death, they would go crazy.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred was not because of the serious exploitation of the upper class. In addition, due to the continuous disasters, the peasants were starved of food and had to revolt in order to survive.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the productivity of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was once again destroyed. The people who could barely fill their stomachs before had deteriorated to the point of exchanging children for food. This was not only the case among the people, but also among the pastoral warlords in various states. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have
Borrowing his brains from the quartermaster and cutting his army rations in half, Yuan Shao would not have been defeated in the Battle of Guandu due to the burning of Wuchao, and would have been in a state of decline ever since.
The output of grain also severely restricted the number of armies of various warlords. It was not that they did not want to recruit more troops, but that they simply did not dare to recruit more troops. Otherwise, they would become paupers just by eating, and they would still have a fart war.
Now that I have an artifact like potatoes, everything is different. First of all, I can protect the people of Changshan County from starving to death. Secondly, I can recruit refugees on a large scale and cultivate the land. In ancient times, wars were simply about giving money and beating people.
Beat food.
Needless to say, making money can be used to buy armor, weapons, war horses, bows and crossbows, military pay, and wages.
The same goes for beating people. As we all know, the greater the population, the greater the war potential, and the greater the number of soldiers that can be recruited.
As the name suggests, grain hunting is about military supplies and logistics. The more grain you have on hand, the more soldiers you can recruit. Otherwise, if people just go militarily, they will be brought down sooner or later. This is why Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan will attack the whole country on a large scale.
The fundamental reason for the sexual implementation of the farming system.
As long as these three items achieve a crushing potential, plus a similar commander, it is definitely only a matter of time before they want to dominate the world.
"Host, are you sure you really want to plant potatoes on a large scale?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"
Yuan Shu asked doubtfully.
"Potatoes are a killer weapon for the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty. You can plant them in the fields now, hoard them after harvesting, and then use them when the world is fighting for hegemony. In this way, others are short of food and you can store it on a large scale.
Refugees, recruit soldiers, this way you will have an absolute advantage, strategic advantage is crucial."
The system's words shocked Yuan Shu's heart.
Yes, the Three Kingdoms are in turmoil now, and they are not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty. If you throw out the potatoes, you will definitely throw out a good hand. It is unimaginable how many soldiers the various warlords will explode if there is no shortage of food, and
How many more people will die, and the unification of the Three Kingdoms may be delayed until that generation.
"System, thank you~"
Yuan Shu sincerely thanked the system, but now he also felt his own shortcomings.
Although as a modern person, I may have a stronger view of the overall situation and the direction of history than the various counselors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but in terms of true wisdom and strategy, I will never even lose my shoes, so the most important thing now is to recruit someone
Counselor, help yourself with advice, otherwise you won’t even know if you are betrayed by others.
"Well, since there is nothing else, this system will leave."
After the system went silent, Yuan Shu only felt two flashes of purple light, and then two purple crystal cards appeared in his hand, one with a picture of a potato, and the other with a picture of the Song Dynasty's absolute weapon, the Divine Arm Crossbow.
Playing with the crystal card in your hand, how do you use it?
"Look at the back."
The mechanical sound of the system sounded again. Yuan Shu turned the crystal card over and saw a few large characters engraved on it.
"Whatever is in your heart can come true."
Still confused, what does this mean?
"Whatever your heart desires can come true. If you hold the crystal card and think about it in your heart, it can come true."
After hearing the systematic explanation, Yuan Shu realized that it was so simple.
"God's Arm Crossbow~"
"??"
There was still no picture in his imagination, no golden light rising into the sky, no magic circle summoning, nothing, until finally, a piece of light yellow paper slowly fell from the sky into his hand.
"Is this the divine arm crossbow?"
If it weren't for the words "God's Arm Crossbow" written on the yellow paper, Yuan Shu would have almost gone berserk.
Name: Divine Arm Crossbow
Level: God level (incomplete)
Number of times:500/500
Explanation: The divine arm crossbow is made of mulberry as the body, sandalwood as the rein, iron as the barrel, steel as the machine, hemp rope as the tie, and silk as the string. The maximum range is 340 steps, which is about 372 meters or more.
"Silverwood, sandalwood, iron, and hemp rope are all easy to find, but steel is difficult to get, but you can still get it if you think of a way. After all, there were already hundreds of steel-making knives in the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the Yuan family's
My ability will never let me go hungry."
Five hundred times means that I can only rely on this blueprint to make 500 such powerful crossbows. Although it is a bit small, if it is hidden, it can definitely give the enemy a big surprise at a critical moment.
We have already obtained the divine arm crossbow, but we cannot take out the potatoes yet. How to plant them, in what kind, who will plant them, how to protect them, and the confidentiality measures all need to be carefully considered.
The lottery is over, and he has nothing to do for the time being. Now he is just waiting for Ji Ling to return. He believes that with his father's ability, he will never give up this opportunity. He just doesn't know what benefits he can get. If he can get the right to build an army, even if
It would be better to build it at your own expense.
