Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

Chapter 472

Liu Jun and the others, led by the soldier, soon came to the place where the conflict took place.

I saw an old man in his forties, dark skin, thin body, arguing with a soldier, and several soldiers next to him.

Liu Jun saw that the two sides were just arguing and did not use knives and guns, so he let go of his heart, it seems that the military discipline of the Han soldiers is still very strict.

"See Wang Ye!" When the soldiers saw Liu Jun and the others coming, they hurriedly knelt down.

"Caomin see Wang Ye!" When the common man heard the soldier call Liu Jun "Wang Ye", he also hurriedly knelt down.

"Old man, please get up!" Liu Wei waved his hand at the people.

"Wang Ye Xie!"

"Why the conflict?" Liu Jun said to the soldier who had just quarreled with the people.

"Back to Wang Ye, when his subordinates saw that this place was leveled, they were ready to set up a tent. But this old man suddenly came over and said that this was the grain he had grown, and he would not let his subordinates set up camp.

"Lord, the last general has also seen that it is not food!" A centurion explained from the sidelines.

"Old man, is what he said the truth?" Liu asked the people.

"Back to Wang Ye, what he said is true, but it is really the grain of the grass people! The whole family of the grass people depends on it! The man said, and knelt down again, "Please Wang Ye Mingjian!"

"Lord, the last general is also from Northland County, but he has never seen that kind of grain!" The centurion also said.

"Oh?" Liu Jun looked at the expressions of the two, both sincere, "Where is it, let King Ben see!"

"Wang Ye, please come with the grass people!" The man took a few steps forward, "Wang Ye, please see, this is it!"

Liu Jun came to the place pointed out by the people, and saw that there were some plants, growing very well, he took a closer look, "This... Isn't this a potato? "

Wang Ye recognizes? That's the potato! "When the people heard Liu Jun's words, they were so excited that tears were about to flow out." Have you seen it, Wang Ye knows potatoes, this is food! It's not grass folk nonsense!

"Lord, this soil... What are potatoes? Fa Zheng was a little puzzled, "Why have subordinates never heard of it?"

"Potatoes, old man, this is a kind of grain from the Western Regions?" After hearing this, Huangfuhong hurriedly asked.

"The adult is right, this thing is produced in the Western Regions!" The man said.

"Kenshou, you also know about potatoes?" Liu Cong is a little strange, history records that potatoes were introduced into the Central Plains during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Liu Cong did not expect that this period not only appeared in Beidi County, but also Huangfuhong also knew.

"Lord Hui, my subordinates have seen merchants in the Western Regions sell it, the price is not expensive, and it is resistant to storage. At that time, the subordinates thought that the yield of this kind of grain must be very high, otherwise it should be very expensive to sell from the Western Regions, so they wanted to grow it. It's just that the merchants said that potato seeds are difficult to store and plant. "

Ha..." Liu Lian burst out laughing after hearing this, "Jianshou, you have been deceived by those merchants in the Western Regions, potato cultivation is very simple, and the yield is high, and it is also drought-tolerant, which is most suitable for Beidi County!"

Potatoes are often planted in the sand, Liu Jun suddenly opened up at this time, as long as Beidi County grows potatoes in a large area, won't the problem of grain be solved?

"Wang Ye is really well-informed, this potato is indeed easy to grow, and the yield is high, and it is also drought-tolerant..." It

turned out that this common man was called Li Sanhuai, and in order to avoid bandits and foreign tribes, he lived in this mountain col with his wife, son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons, a family of six.

Usually, he and his son grow a little grain, and when they have free time, they hunt some prey, and they can barely survive the day.

The year before last, while he and his son were out hunting, he met two merchants from the Western Regions, who got lost in the desert and got separated from their companions and could not find water.

The kind Li Sanhuai father and son rescued the two and let them live in their own house for a few days.

The two merchants from the Western Regions were very grateful, so they left a bag of potatoes for Li Sanhuai as a reward.

Potatoes are very convenient to make, steamed or boiled, and they taste crispy and sweet, and the whole family loves them.

So they were very economical and reluctant to eat, but when they ate the last three, they found that it had sprouted.

"Sprouted?" When Huangfuhong heard this, he asked in surprise, "Are you saying that potatoes sprout?"

"yes!" Li Sanhuai nodded, "The grass people thought at that time, since this can germinate, then maybe it can produce new potatoes!" So the grass people carefully buried these three potatoes in the sand, and they really grew seedlings, just like these now!

Li Sanhuai pointed to the potato seedlings around him.

"Do they produce potatoes?" Huangfuhong asked eagerly.

"From spring to summer, and from summer to autumn, the potato seedlings have withered, but they still have not produced potatoes!"

"It didn't come out..." Huang Fuhong looked very disappointed.

"In a fit of anger, the grass people pulled out the potato seedlings, who would have thought that the grass people would see it all of a sudden..."

Huangfuhong saw Li Sanhuai's excited expression, interrupted him again, and hurriedly asked.

"See... See..." Li Sanhuai seemed to recall the scene at that time, and was so excited that he stammered and couldn't speak.

"I saw a lot of potatoes coming out of the soil, right?" Liu Qi asked with a smile.

"Wang Ye is really a god and a man!" Li Sanhuai looked at Liu Wei incredulously.

"Master, that potato grows underground?" Huangfuhong's eyes widened as well.

"Potatoes and potatoes, if they don't grow in the ground, can they still knot on branches and leaves?" Liu Qian asked rhetorically.

"Wang Ye is right, the grass people also figured it out later!" Li Sanhuai was obviously recalling the scene at that time, "Three potatoes, unexpectedly... It actually produced half a bag!

"What, three trees produce half a bag?" Huang Fuhong obviously didn't believe it, "Li Sanhuai, what you said is true?

"What the grass people said is true, how dare you deceive the adults?"

"He's right, potato yields are really high. It's also as simple as burying it in the soil! "

So that's so..." Huangfu Hong suddenly realized, and then he looked very excited, "Lord, with potatoes, the people of Beidi County will never go hungry in the future, and... And even in the year of calamity, the minister also promised that no one would starve to death again..."

Huang Fuhong said this, his eyes full of tears. He read the book of sages since he was a child, did not inherit his father's ambition, and became a general who guarded the border, but he was also determined to be a good official who loved and cared for the people. However, Northland County is so poor that there is a famine almost every three years. Although he used all his skills, he had no choice but to watch many people starve to death.

That kind of miserable image will always be imprinted in Huangfuhong's mind. If potatoes could have been planted then, the people would not have starved to death, even if they would have starved!

"Li Sanhuai, King Ben appointed you as the captain of the Dian Agricultural Academy, specifically responsible for planting potatoes for Beidi County!"
