"How's the yield per acre in the surrounding fields?"
Liu Hong looked at the figures busy harvesting in the fields and asked casually.
"In previous years, the output of the lower fields was two shi per mu, while the upper fields were three shi less than four shi. This year, the output of each county has reached more than six shi per mu."
The officials following Liu Hong had indescribable shock in their voices.
A yield of six stones per acre, let alone seeing it, was something that was unthinkable before.
This year, every acre of land in Yanzhou has such an amazing yield.
And all of this will start with Liu Hong taking over.
If that's all, forget it.
But the fields owned by the nobles who were hostile to Liu Hong were sparse in yield, even less than in previous years.
Many superstitious people privately regarded Liu Hong as the reincarnation of Shennong and built a temple to worship him.
"not bad."
Liu Hong pulled a hanging corn plant with his hands. He could only be said to be barely satisfied.
After all, with the blessing of so many entries from him, if he couldn't even reach the six-stone-per-acre yield, he should have suspected that someone was taking advantage of it secretly.
And this bumper harvest can be regarded as alleviating his urgent needs.
Although the granary can produce grain, the quantity is limited after all.
Supplying a population of one million is already the limit.
The total number of refugees, garrison soldiers and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans under his command was close to 600,000.
If there is no war, we can barely maintain it.
Once a war broke out, this grain output would not be enough to support his campaign in all directions.
Now that this batch of grain is in storage, even if there is war every year, it will be enough to support him until the next batch of grain is harvested.
Troubled times are coming, prepare in advance and be prepared.
Liu Hong returned home satisfied.
As soon as he stepped into the Governor's Mansion, he saw Cheng Yu walking in in a panic.
"Sir, someone is offering auspiciousness!"
Liu Hong looked confused.
Auspicious?
Could it be that in order to curry favor with him, the nobles forced him to use the fox-baring trick, a trick played by the stone man?
Although he didn't take it seriously, he still asked Cheng Yu to bring in the donors.
After all, you can't hit someone with a smiling face.
When people come to give gifts without even seeing him, it seems that he, the governor, is very rude.
When Cheng Yu walked in with the donor, Liu Hong knew that he had gone astray.
A simple and honest middle-aged man, he carefully held a corn plant in his hands. It was obvious that he was not a scheming person.
Liu Hong looked at the corn plant in the opponent's hand.
He saw that the grains of the rice plants on the corn were full, and the yield of the ordinary rice plants he saw today was almost half greater.
Looking carefully at the corn plant, a bunch of entries appeared instantly.
[Drought and cold tolerance: drought and cold tolerance, extreme environmental resistance +50% (blue entry)]
[Adaptation: Adapt to any harsh environment and grow (blue entry)]
[High yield: Increase output by 50% (purple entry)]
[Farming: It can nourish the fields and improve the fertility of the land (blue entry)]
[Heredity: The entry characteristics possessed by the mother plant will be passed on to the next generation and will never weaken (gold entry)]
One gold, one purple, three blue, five entries.
Liu Hong's eyes widened and he was shocked.
This thing is simply an artifact of Sheji!
This was the first time he had seen corn with so many characteristics.
When growing food in the past, he also tried to refresh the entries to make the food more productive.
Without exception, the newly planted crops have extremely high yields, but generally after one or two plantings, their characteristics will continue to decay, and eventually they will degenerate into ordinary crops.
But the corn plant in front of him had no such worries at all.
"You have contributed a lot to the auspiciousness. Is there anything you want?"
Liu Hong looked at this honest middle-aged man and spoke slowly.
This credit is a bit excessive.
If he were the emperor, based on this merit, he would be granted the title of marquis and general.
"I don't want any reward. Both my life and my mother's life were saved by the adults. If I take anything from the adults, my mother will beat me to death when we go back."
The man scratched his head and smiled.
"Sir, this person is from Qingzhou. He fled here because his hometown was trampled by the Yellow Turban bandits."
Cheng Yu clarified the other party's life experience.
Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
This can be considered tit for tat.
However, it is not his character to give credit for merit.
"Zhongde, this man has made a great contribution. Give him fifty gold."
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving him a chance to refuse.
After Cheng Yu sent the man away, Liu Hong called him in front of him.
"Zhongde, open up a field outside the city, use this corn as a seed, and cultivate it specially."
Liu Hong handed the corn into Cheng Yu's hand and ordered.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
There is no room for carelessness in matters related to the country.
He wants to open up a special experimental field, fill it with various entries, and specially cultivate this millet.
Once successful, it will be remembered forever and its merits will last forever.
the other side.
Inside the recruitment hall.
A middle-aged man holding a silver spear walked into the hall. His outstanding demeanor instantly caught the attention of the officials in the recruitment hall.
"What's the name of this strong man?"
The official stopped the boy on the side and came forward to ask in person.
"A certain Tong Yuan."
"I heard about the name of the Talent Recruitment Hall. I came here today to find a job under the Governor."
Tong Yuan expressed his intention.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. When officials see the other party's extraordinary demeanor and dignified appearance, they immediately pay attention to him.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment. I will go and report this to the Governor."
The officials left in a hurry and went straight to the governor's mansion.
Governor's Mansion.
Liu Hong was reviewing official duties when he saw a guard rushing over.
"Sir, there is a strong man in the Talent Recruitment Hall named Tong Yuan, who wants to find a job under you."
The guard directly explained his intention in a few words.
Um? who?
Tong Yuan! ?
Hearing this, Liu Hong was shocked, Tong Yuan!
That was Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's master, the legendary spear prodigy Tong Yuan.
"Bring him here quickly."
Liu Hong directly asked the officials to bring Tong Yuan over.
As a middle-aged man with a great appearance walked into the house holding a gun,
Several golden and red entries instantly made Liu Hong's eyes light up.
【Tong Yuan】
[Gun God (red entry)]
[Gun Soul Unity (Golden Entry)]
【Hermit Master】
【……】
When Liu Hong was sizing up Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan was also sizing up Liu Hong.
The governor is a hundred years old, but he is full of energy and is as strong as a man in his prime.
Moreover, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt a fatal threat from the governor and the black-faced man next to him.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the governor's mansion.
Tong Yuan sighed in his heart, it turns out that being famous is not as good as seeing him.
"Tong Yuan, I have met the governor."
He bowed his hands with a respectful look on his face.
"No need to be polite!"
Liu Hong waved his hand.
"I traveled to several states in the Han Dynasty and heard about the reputation of the governor's benevolence and righteousness. I came here today to find a job under you."
Tong Yuan cupped his fists and saluted and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked knowingly:
"Are you good at anything?"
"Sir, a certain spearman's skill is quite good!"
Tong Yuan said politely and modestly, his face unable to hide his pride.
"Okay, then I will arrange a position for you."
Liu Hong had already thought about what position he wanted to give Tong Yuan before he came.
"There are fifty thousand elites in the Yanzhou military camp. From now on, you will be their marksmanship instructor."
Liu Hong said slowly.
