Chapter 499 It’s not a big deal

Tan Cheng was directly asked about autism. He covered his forehead and turned his face to the side, "Forget it, you should ask someone else!"

My teammates are too stupid and I can’t help them!

…

When Shen Qingqian came over, Shengze also arrived at Liang Cheng's place.

Liang Cheng glanced at Sheng Ze and saw him nodding slightly, knowing that this girl from the Shen family already knew his identity.

"Girl, I heard that you discovered sweet potatoes first?" Liang Cheng went straight to the point, "Then do you know the specific conditions of these sweet potatoes? For example, when are they planted every year, when are they harvested, and how much can be harvested at least and how much can be harvested at most?"

Shen Qingqian picked up the words and told the Shen family again, "...the records in Taishi Chen's handwritten notes are not clear. I saw more detailed information from other miscellaneous books. Unfortunately..."

She sighed with pretense of regret, lowered her head, and let Liang Cheng figure it out.

Liang Cheng thought about it for a moment and knew that the book containing information about sweet potatoes might have been in trouble when the Shen family was confiscated and exiled.

"In that case, how about I give the Shen family a chance to make meritorious deeds?" Liang Cheng suddenly became kind to Shen Qingqian.

After the surprise attack by King Zhao's army, he had determined that Sheng Zhan planned to completely abandon the Northern Hubei Army.

He and Shengze have discussed in the past few days that they must make plans early, and some plans must be advanced.

Military rations are a big problem. They were still worried about it before, but today Shen Qingqian and the others received news of a sweet potato harvest.

This kind of output is simply unbelievable.

Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows, "The general doesn't want our family to help grow sweet potatoes, right?"

She wouldn't believe a word of it about making meritorious deeds.

After all, she knew Sheng Ze's identity, and now Sheng Zhan wanted to leave Hubei behind. Although the Shen family's status as a refugee was still troublesome, it was not as difficult to get rid of as before.

But, it’s better to get rid of this shackles as soon as possible.

"No," Liang Cheng shook his head, "You don't need to do it yourself, you just need to teach the people in the military camp and the soldiers who were transferred from the army to farm."

The military garrison he refers to refers to those prisoners who have been farming in northern Hubei for generations. Their descendants cannot leave their humble status.

As soon as Shen Qingqian heard what he said, she immediately understood what he wanted to do, "General, is it true that he only wants to let the people from the military camp and the soldiers in the army do the farming?"

Liang Cheng was silent, lowered his eyes, and did not reply immediately.

What Tan Cheng said to Niu Manzi just now was actually what he was thinking.

In today's world, whoever has food in his hands has a great say.

Including Shengze's current situation, it is also because the Northern Hubei Army cannot keep up with the food and grass, so they dare not expose his identity.

Think about it, almost all of the 100,000 soldiers in northern Hubei are under Liang Cheng's control. If he wants to support Shengze, it is equivalent to the entire northern Hubei being Shengze's private army.

But the cost of raising an army is very high. They have been dragged down by the court over the years and can hardly afford even the most basic food and clothing. The cohesion of the army is in jeopardy.

Therefore, both Liang Cheng and Sheng Ze felt that the most important thing right now was to hold on to the grain bags.

"We will try planting this year first. If the yield is good, we will gradually promote it throughout northern Hubei." Shengze suddenly said.

As for whether it will spread to other regions in the future, that is a matter for the future.

Shen Qingqian was noncommittal. She probably knew their concerns, but it didn't matter to her. After all, she had other high-yielding crops in her hand that she hadn't yet produced.

"Okay, since it is the general's order, of course our Shen family dare not refuse, but..." She paused as she looked at Liang Cheng.
