Chapter 124: Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know immediately
Winter wheat, double the amount of grain.
Although Cao Cao still doesn't know, the doubling that Cao Ang said is because the yield per mu has doubled? Or is it for some other reason?
Cao Cao didn't even know how true this bold statement was?
But…
When I noticed what Cao Ang said, the winter wheat was cultivated from Youjian Villa, then...
Since it was cultivated by Youjian Villa, it was naturally Brother Yi’s idea. Since it was Brother Yi’s idea, it is naturally very reliable!
It reminds me that more than a year ago, when Cao Cao went on an expedition, he saw so-called winter wheat in the fields of Youjian Villa. Unexpectedly, in just two cycles, Brother Yi really succeeded in cultivating it.
"Hahaha... God helps me, God helps me."
Cao Cao could not conceal his excitement and ecstasy...
Of course, compared to his excitement, the expressions of all the clan members in Sikong Mansion were very cold. They would not believe it, what about winter wheat? What about doubling the grain!
Sow in spring and harvest in autumn. This farming concept passed down for thousands of years has been deeply rooted in the minds of everyone in the world. Farming against the seasons? How is it possible to harvest real wheat?
What's more, how do you hear this and why do you think it is a conspiracy? It is the group of courtiers headed by Taiwei Yang Biao who came up with some stupid idea to deceive the eldest son Cao Ang...
The eldest son is still young, so he can believe this nonsense so easily!
"My nephew, are you serious about what you said? This is no joke!" Cao Hong walked up to Cao Ang with a serious expression and asked seriously...
"Yes, yes!" Xiahou Dun agreed repeatedly. "As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing. My nephew, you must not be tempted by someone with ulterior motives..."
At this point, Xiahou Dun waved his hands, and then deliberately lowered his voice.
"Think carefully about how this is possible! If it is really possible to grow counter-seasonal winter wheat, then the acres in summer and autumn can be reused. By then, it will only take one year to double the grain. Our grain depot
Isn’t there enough food and grass in the city again?”
Xiahou Dun was in charge of the army. What he said was correct and he was very professional.
What does it mean to farm counter-seasonally and double the amount of grain and grass?
It means that with vigorous promotion and without necessary consumption, the same cultivated land, the same farmers and soldiers can store twice or even three times more food and grass in a year...
This was a timely gift to Cao Cao, who was currently short of food and grass due to the war in the north and south.
"Uncles, this winter wheat was cultivated by Ang'er himself. The planting started at the end of September last year. After the cold winter, it was spring across the country. Today, Ang'er said with his own eyes that the ears of wheat are full and plump.
Ordinary spring wheat probably doesn’t have such large particles.”
At this point, Cao Ang looked around at everyone and saw that everyone still had doubts on their faces.
Cao Ang added. "By the way, I'm not the only one who farmed with my own hands. Students from a private school all participated in the farming process. Today's harvest was witnessed by everyone. If your uncles don't believe it, you can call me.
There are clan brothers and clan brothers who are studying in a private school, or they rush to the depths of the peach forest in Youjian Villa. If it is true or false, you will find out if it is true!"
call out…
Cao Ang's words came out word by word. At first, these big men of the Cao and Xiahou families didn't think anything of it, but as the eldest son Cao Ang testified word by word, a series of witnesses were called out.
Everyone is a little convinced.
Could it be that the problem of grain and grass reserves that plagued the expansion of power was solved by a small wine shop?
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Just when everyone was stunned, Cao Cao's laughter continued, "I believe what Ang'er said is true!"
Cao Cao only said this and did not provide any detailed evidence.
In his opinion, I am sober when everyone else is drunk, so there is no need to explain so clearly...
In the final analysis.
Subconsciously, the "trust" in Yi Xiaotian has long been deeply embedded in Cao Cao's mind.
Not to mention that he knew a thing or two about this matter, even if he knew nothing about it, as long as it was Brother Yi's instigation, as long as it was related to a wine shop, Cao Cao would only believe and support it without reservation.
"Mengde...this..."
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong also wanted to say something.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he saw that Cao Cao had already walked out of Sikong Mansion quickly. He said as he walked, "You have the right to wait for half a day while I get the ears of winter wheat and grind them into flour. I invite you to try it together!"
"
The words haven’t finished yet…
Cao Cao has disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Not far away, Cao Ren had already prepared two fast horses...
It turned out that Cao Cao had been thinking since he went to court early today that it was time to visit Brother Yi.
It’s not because of winter wheat issues…
Mainly because he wanted to talk to Brother Yi about the next strategic plan.
Of course, it is also indispensable to talk about the rank of Taiwei, the head of the three princes, standing proudly above your head!
This was a huge mountain that pressed Cao Cao to the point of being breathless.
…
…
The sound of horse hoofbeats echoed throughout the official road.
Thirty miles south of the city, a three-hour journey, during which time Cao Cao and Cao Ren did not stop for a moment, running as fast as they could without even taking a sip of water.
It's not that they are in a hurry...
It was actually because Cao Cao had previously issued a decree that, except for a wine shop, no taverns or B&Bs were allowed to be opened within thirty miles south of the capital city.
As for the reason, Cao Cao was always thinking about helping Brother Yi eliminate unnecessary competition and get more business as appropriate.
Three hours later, Cao Cao and Cao Ren had arrived at Youjian Villa.
It is noon at this time, and the sunshine is still warm. This kind of weather is very suitable for inviting two or three friends to taste wine and brag...
Sure enough, as expected, Yujian Villa is very lively today...
Today, this villa is no longer just a wine shop. It includes a series of projects such as blacksmithing, medical care, education, and entertainment. It is highly praised by the people and clans around Xudu.
It was during this era that literati from all over the world also liked to draw inspiration from the ten-mile peach forest and recite poems and compose poems...
Of course, Yi Xiaotian likes to see such excitement.
Now, one of his few hobbies is to check the account books with Cai Zhaoji to see how much money he has earned in recent times!
"Brother Yi..."
A long way away, Cao Cao saw Yi Xiaotian...
At this time, he was lying on a recliner, leisurely holding a roll of account books, checking them carefully...
"Sir, Mr. Hao is here!"
Cai Zhaoji noticed Cao Cao and Cao Ren's arrival, and whispered to Yi Xiaotian...
On the contrary, Yi Xiaotian turned a deaf ear, still staring at the account book and asking in a low voice. "Zhaoji? This transaction in the blacksmith shop is wrong. There are more than a dozen five-baht coins spent. You go find it."
Lingqi asked to see if she was careless..."
Yi Xiaotian is a very serious person. Now that his business has grown, he has to personally verify every account and revenue of Youjian Villa to make sure he knows it well.
"Sir, I'm here..."
Cai Zhaoji raised her voice this time, but when she reminded her, Cao Cao and Cao Ren were already approaching...
At this time, Yi Xiaocai reacted, raised his head, looked towards Cao Cao, and waved.
At that moment, the tiger's body shook, and it stood up straight like a carp.
Unfortunately, in the past year, the food was good and I ate a bit too much. I even tried to hold it up a few times but couldn’t stand it up...
For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Hiding...it's a joke, it's a joke!"
"Brother Yi, I haven't seen you for a year, you have gained weight!" Cao Cao laughed "haha", stepped forward quickly, pulled up Yi Xiaotian, and joked. "It seems that Brother Yi has two beauties here this year.
