Two days later.
Outside Guzang City, in a mountainous area.
Xun Yu held a piece of potato seed and said suspiciously,""This thing really ripens once every three months, and the yield per mu is 50 dan, 6,000 jin?”
"Hurry up and plant it!"
Yan Chuan said while carrying his hoe.
Xun Yu threw the potato seeds into a pit with a half-believing look.
"Kengchi!"
"Kengchi!"
Yan Chuan picked up his hoe and dug a hole frantically.
Not far away, more than two thousand soldiers of the Iron Blood Army were sweating profusely as they waved their hoes to farm.
"It's too difficult!"
A middle-rank marquis whose face was covered in dust said doubtfully,"I thought that I would go to the battlefield to kill the enemies, make contributions, and be conferred the title of Marquis. I didn't expect that I would be farming here. If those shameless guys in Luoyang knew about this, they would definitely laugh at us!”
"Who cares about them!"
"General Yan said that if these yellow seeds are planted, they will grow twenty dan of corn per mu in three months!”
"Although I don't know what corn is, but it's twenty dan per mu. Jing Xiang region only has four to five dan of corn per mu. This is a divine item that can keep our soldiers and people from starving!”A Middle Marquis said excitedly.
Outside Guzang City.
Thousands of people gathered.
They had lived in Beiliang for decades.
This was the first time he saw soldiers and generals wielding hoes to farm.
Among them, some of the commoners were already in tears, and they were so touched that they were in a mess.
Among the rulers of the past, those who had no money, no food, and no soldiers had to take them from the homes of the common people. Yan Chuan's actions were comparable to a saint's, so naturally, the good feelings of the common people towards him were even stronger.
The supremacy of Northern Liang was brought to the extreme.
Many commoners stepped forward to assist the Iron Blood Army in farming. It was a scene of harmony between the army and the people.
Western Liang.
Hanyang County, Ji County.
In the Xiliang Provincial Governor's Office.
Dong Zhuo looked at the secret report sent by the scout from Wuwei and asked in confusion,"What's going on? Yan Chuan is such a vicious man. Instead of fighting the Qiang Hu, he came out of seclusion and razed the Western Regions.”
Li Ru said respectfully," Northern Liang is close to the desert. The people are poor and there is not enough food for him to squander!"”
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: " One person, one Great Liang's Dragon Sparrow Saber, suppressed that Luoyang's temple until no one dared to straighten their backs. Now, they are actually in such a sorry state to farm. It is truly a pity!”
"Ha!"
Li Ru's mouth twitched.
Dong Zhuo sighed. Why did he hear a hint of mockery?
Twenty days later.
In the Northern Liang Prefecture.
Yan Chuan's entire body was tanned.
Many people collapsed on the seats in the hall.
"Hey!"
Jia Xu pounded his old waist and groaned." General Yan, we've been planting for nearly a month. The seeds in the front have all sprouted and sprouted. We've finally planted all the seeds. I wonder how much we can harvest!”
Xun Yu did some calculations and said," We have planted 300 mu of potatoes, 300 mu of corn, 200 mu of wheat, and 200 mu of sweet potatoes. According to General Yan, it should be at least tens of thousands of stones!"”
"General Yan, are we still going to plant the seeds tomorrow?" A middle-rank marquis asked helplessly.”
"No thanks!"
Yan Chuan sipped his tea and said with a dry throat,"I was careless. I thought that farming was not a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring. It seems that I still have to develop the masses to farm in the future!”
"Yes, I am!"
Everyone said in unison.
Yan Chuan heaved a sigh of relief and said," Old Fifth should be back soon. You guys should pack up too. I think the three million yuan given by the emperor will arrive soon. When the time comes, you guys can go and destroy whichever Qiang Hu clan that steals the money. Move their cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses back to me and build a farm for me to develop animal husbandry!”
"What?"
One of them jumped up.
Yan Chuan sighed helplessly and said," The Northern Liang is not like the Central Plains. This place is too barren. We have to go hand in hand with both internal and external affairs. Only in this way can we support the army. Otherwise, you will eat, drink, and wear whatever you want in the future!”
"It's too difficult!"
The Marquis of Iron Blood wanted to cry.
Not only did they have to farm, but they also had to raise pigs and sheep…
"Why not buy food?"
Jia Xu's expression was strange as he said,"With three million, you can buy a lot of food!"”
Yan Chuan shook his head and said in a low voice," I want Northern Liang to prosper. I don't want to buy it from the outside world. Only when Northern Liang is rich can we attack the Western Regions and send troops to the Qiang Hu around. Do you understand?"”
"Accumulate grain!"
Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully.
Xun Yu looked at Jia Xu warily, afraid that he would say that he was king.
Yan Chuan waved his hand and said," Go and rest. The three of you should train your soldiers well these few days. When the time comes, we will send out our troops!"”
"Here!"
Everyone shouted.
Xun Yu took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.”
Yan Chuan nodded and said," Actually, I don't have any other intentions. The Iron Blood Army has stayed in Luoyang for too long. They are not used to the Northern Liang. Three thousand people are fighting outside. I will bring the rest to farm so that they can adapt to this place as soon as possible!”
Xun Yu sighed." I don't know if they can understand the painstaking efforts of the generals of Hell!"”
"I will!"
Yan Chuan smiled faintly.
