After the system upgrade.
There was a providence store.
Currently, there were only agricultural products.
There were more than ten products to choose from.
[1 ton of potatoes is worth 100 luck points.]
[1 ton of sweet potatoes is worth 100 luck points.]
[1 ton of corn is worth 100 Fate.]
[1 ton of chili, worth 200 Fate.]
[1 ton of peanuts is worth 200 luck points.]
…………
Cao Ang was pleasantly surprised.
They were all common agricultural products in the future.
Although the price seemed a little high, it was something that did not exist in this era.
Potato, corn, and sweet potato were high-yield crops that were only introduced to China around the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
It could be planted during the Three Kingdoms period.
Its value was simply immeasurable.
Any one of them was even better than 100,000 soldiers!
The staple food of the Han Dynasty.
In the north, corn was the main food.
Rice was the main food in the south.
The yield of millet per mu was 3 stones, equivalent to 286 catties.
The yield of rice per mu was 2.7 stone, about 260 jin.
What was the average yield per mu of potatoes? An average of 3000 pounds!
It was common for the yield to reach 4000-5000 catties per mu!
The adaptability of potatoes was extremely strong. No matter if it was cold or warm, not only wet or dry, they could survive. They could be grown in almost all the provinces in China.
There was only one season each year in the deserts of Hei Long Jiang, Qing Hai, and Gan Su.
In other places, it could be planted twice a year. The huge and astonishing yield and the strong adaptability to drought and cold were enough to save the lives of millions of people in this chaotic world!
Cao Ang came to the warehouse.
He bought a ton of potatoes first.
A huge cloth bag appeared in front of him.
It was stuffed with fresh, high-quality potatoes.
Cao Ang picked up these potatoes and examined them carefully. He was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure.
Ordinary adults.
1500 kilocalories per day.
Each catty of potatoes had 400 kilocalories.
Theoretically speaking, eating three catties of potatoes a day would allow one to survive normally.
One ton of potatoes might seem like a lot, but it was actually an extra day's rations for 600 people. However, the problem was that potatoes could be directly planted.
So this big bag.
All of them could be used as seeds.
The average weight of these potatoes was about 100 grams.
Therefore, the total number of potatoes was about 10,000.
Theoretically, he could cultivate 10,000 seedlings.
The yield of potatoes varied from ten to dozens of catties.
Be more conservative.
An average of 20 pounds.
10,000 stalks could theoretically produce 200,000 catties of food.
This was enough to feed 66,000 people for a day!
He had been worrying about food for the past two days.
He had never thought that it would be so easily resolved!
Right now.
Spring was coming.
If it was exchanged for 20 tons of potatoes.
By the end of summer, the harvest would be at least three to four million catties. Just thinking about it made people excited!
Cao Ang first summoned the two Heroic Souls.
"Summon Shen Kuo!"
"Summon Jia Sixie!"
The system can synthesize Heroic Souls.
However, he did not have to synthesize it.
The fusion of Heroic Souls would result in some overlapping of attributes or loss and wastage.
A person's time was limited.
There was a limit to what a person could do.
There was no need to synthesize such specialized talents.
Shen Kuo and Jia Sixie were both people from the later generations, so it didn't matter if they used their original names.
"My lord!"
Two middle-aged men appeared in front of him.
Although they were both dressed like scholars, Shen Kuo was fair and handsome, while Jia Sixie's face was tanned and looked like an old farmer.
…………
At the same time.
Xun Yu and Xun You came to the Prime Minister's residence.
After confirming their identities, Ah Ke brought them to Cao Ang's side.
Cao Ang was discussing potato planting with two middle-aged Confucians.
"Xun Lingjun, Minister Xun?"
"It's great that you're willing to come!”
"Looks like today is a double celebration!”
Xun Yu and Xun You were confused.
He didn't know why Cao Ang was so happy.
Cao Ang didn't hide anything.
He immediately recommended the potatoes to the two of them.
After learning about the potato production, both of them were shocked.
Xun Yu was a minister and Xun You was a minister. They were in charge of government affairs.
Every time Cao Cao fought, Xun Yu was the general manager of the rear, so he knew the importance of grain better than anyone else.
"This thing is ten times the yield of corn?”
"How can there be such a divine item in the world!”
Cao Ang said," Not only does potato have a high yield, but it also grows very fast and is very adaptable. Its nutritional value is far above that of corn, rice, and wheat. It is enough to completely replace the staple food.”
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Ah Ke were all stunned.
Xun Yu couldn't care less about anything else." Prime Minister, are you mistaken? Is this thing really so magical?" Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Cao Ang had already thought of an explanation." It's normal that Xun Lingjun has never heard of it. I sent Shen Kuo and Jia Sixie to the Western Regions in the early years and bought it from a group of distant Hu merchants at a high price. It took a lot of effort to transfer it back to the Central Plains.”
"Since the year before last, I've ordered people to plant them secretly. Most of the fresh potatoes in front of me are bred. Whether it's the yield or the efficacy, they've all been verified!”
Xun Yu could hardly contain his excitement.
He never dreamed that there was such a thing in the world.
Xun You immediately knelt down before Cao Ang." In this chaotic world, people are starving. This is an auspicious sign that has never appeared in China for thousands of years. Yet, it was obtained by Prime Minister Cao. This is enough to prove that Prime Minister Cao is the one destined by the heavens.”
Look at this bootlicking.
Cao Ang laughed." Only the Son of Heaven is destined. You and I are both officials. You can't say such things!"”
Xun Yu was unwilling to flatter him.
However, his thoughts were similar to Xun You's.
It was a staple grain that produced at least ten times, or even dozens of times more.
What did it mean to this chaotic world?
It is called auspicious.
It was not an exaggeration!
Only the destined one.
Only then can we obtain auspicious signs.
Cao Ang bred this thing.
Save more than ten million lives? Wasn't this fate?
Just this achievement alone was enough to make him famous for thousands of years!
"Xun Lingjun, why don't you be in charge of the large-scale potato planting?" Cao Ang said.”
Xun Yu was a little nervous." Prime Minister, is it really appropriate for me to handle such an important matter?" After all…"
"There's no need to say anything more!" Cao Ang interrupted,"Shen Kuo and Jia Sixie are both talented people. They will stay in Xuchang and provide assistance to your lord."”
