Chapter 3129

The Huns present had all experienced days of starvation. If Tang Yu really said that everyone could have a full meal, then who would be willing to go through the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

Genghis Khan stared at Tang Yu with burning eyes: "If what you say is true, then I am willing to withdraw my troops and never attack the seven countries in the world."

"What's your idea?"

Tang Yu smiled mysteriously and said: "Potatoes! As long as we have potatoes, we can ensure that everyone on the grassland has enough to eat, and we no longer have to worry about food."

Potato?

All the Huns looked at each other with doubts and confusion in their eyes.

Even Meng Tian and others looked at Tang Yu in confusion. They had never heard of such a thing as potatoes.

Genghis Khan frowned: "What is a potato?"

Tang Yu explained with a smile: "Potatoes are one of the most important foods, second only to rice, corn and wheat. Potatoes, also known as potatoes, can provide the satiety that people need."

As a modern person, Tang Yu is very aware of the importance of potatoes, and potatoes are also very suitable for planting on grasslands. Potatoes like cold and dry conditions and have strong adaptability to soil, even in high-altitude areas like grasslands. It can grow, but the quality will deteriorate later and new seeds need to be introduced frequently.

Remember https://m in one second.

The most important thing is that the yield of potatoes is very high. A good one can reach about 6,000 kilograms per acre. And if potatoes are grown in the vast grassland, the yield will be immeasurable, and no Xiongnu will worry about food. The problem.

After hearing Tang Yu's introduction to potatoes, whether it was Genghis Khan or the Huns, their entire faces were filled with excitement.

"Are potatoes really as magical as you say?"

Genghis Khan felt a wave of panic in his heart. This was the first time he heard that any plant could produce such a high yield, with one acre of land weighing six thousand kilograms.

What if it is one hundred acres of land?

hiss!

Thinking of this, Genghis Khan couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he had seen the entire grassland being planted with potatoes.

All the Huns were also immersed in beautiful fantasies.

Tang Yu nodded seriously and said: "Yes, considering the current grassland, planting potatoes is the most suitable. Potatoes not only have high yields, but are also resistant to growth and have strong adaptability to the land. They can solve the problem of food for the Huns in the short term. question."

"In comparison, the conditions for growing other foods are a bit more difficult. Even if they are successfully planted, the yield will not be as high as potatoes, and it will not solve your food problems."

Tang Yu then drew a rough diagram for Genghis Khan and told some stories about potato cultivation to the Huns.

"Potatoes don't require much water. If you really want to grow potatoes, I suggest you select some fertile soil areas specifically to grow potatoes. Make sure you have the food you need first. Once the food is secured, you can Let’s calm down and develop animal husbandry.”

After understanding the black history on the grassland, Tang Yu also discovered the problem of the Xiongnu's inability to survive.

Once there was no edible food, the Xiongnu began to slaughter livestock, and cattle and sheep could not develop well at all.

The population is increasing, but the livestock is decreasing. Over time, this will naturally lead to food problems for the Huns.

Therefore, Tang Yu thought of letting the Xiongnu plant potatoes. As long as potatoes can be successfully planted, animal husbandry can also be better developed.

In Tang Yu's eyes, as long as potatoes can help the Huns persist for one year, the number of cattle and sheep on the entire grassland will double.
