It was August, the end of summer.
The sowing date that Liu Xuan had been waiting for was finally here.
When Liu Xuan pointed at a piece of potato in front of Jian Yong and Tian Chou and said that the yield of this crop could reach 20 dan per mu, the two of them were stunned.
They were stunned on the spot for a long, long time. After being stunned for half an incense stick's time, the two of them finally came back to their senses from the words '20 stones per mu.'
Immediately after.
His eyes widened!
His mouth was wide open!
His face was filled with shock, excitement, disbelief, and anticipation as he stared at Liu Xuan. He asked with a trembling voice," Is Lord County Governor's words true?!"
The two of them spoke in unison, and their voices were trembling.
Liu Xuan nodded without hesitation.
After that.
The two of them picked up the potatoes without caring about their image. They laughed as if they were looking at a rare treasure.
The geographical location of Dai County would be Shanxi in the future.
These areas could generally grow two seasons of potatoes a year.
The first season was sowing in February and March and harvesting in June and July. The other season was sowing in August and harvesting from the end of October to the beginning of November.
In March, Liu Xuan was still pretending to be polite with Zhang Rang in Luoyang. By the time he returned to Dai County, he had already missed the best sowing time.
Therefore…
Liu Xuan could only postpone the appearance of potatoes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to August.
As for the source of these potatoes, it was naturally Liu Xuan who bought them from the system store. They filled up the entire warehouse and cost Liu Xuan a total of 30,000 to 40,000 Reputation Points.
Although Liu Xuan's reputation had soared recently, and he had earned a large amount of Reputation Points every day, he was still very popular.
However…
However, the total amount of reputation points could only be maintained at around 200,000.
After all.
With more people, more Reputation Points would be earned, and there would be more expenses.
Among them, the expenditure on food was the highest.
As the saying goes, the rarer a thing is, the more valuable it is.
If he continued to use Glass Orbs and other glassware, it would no longer work to exchange food with the aristocratic families. The amount of food that could be exchanged for glassware with the same amount of Reputation Points would decrease.
In order to obtain enough rations, Liu Xuan could only win with quantity.
Later, he gritted his teeth and spent 2,000 Reputation Points to buy a glass artwork that was three to four meters tall. He exchanged it for 600,000 stones of food from the Yuan family, which had four generations and three dukes.
In order to store these 600,000 dans of grain, Liu Xuan had also specially ordered people to build several large granaries.
There were pros and cons.
The good thing was that Dai County would not have to worry about food for the next few months.
The downside was that after this incident, glassware could be exchanged for food from the aristocratic families, and it became increasingly rare.
After seeing such treasures, ordinary glass products were no longer that attractive to the aristocratic families.
However, this didn't affect him much.
Because the potatoes could already be sown.
Sowing in August meant that they would be able to harvest in two months.
In order to successfully complete the sowing of potatoes, Liu Xuan temporarily suspended the construction of Daijun.
After all, sowing potatoes required a lot of manpower, especially the young and strong. Many of the young and strong people in the families of the people of Dai County had gone to participate in the construction of Dai County.
The commoners did not have much doubts about Liu Xuan's decree to plant unfamiliar crops like potatoes.
In the eyes of the commoners, the county governor, Liu Xuan, would never harm them.
From this, it could be seen how high Liu Xuan's status was in the hearts of the people of Dai County.
The first batch of potatoes was only sown on 50,000 acres because Liu Xuan felt that it was not worth it to buy potatoes directly from the system store.
In any case, Dai County had sufficient food reserves, and there were still three years before the world fell into chaos. He was not in a hurry to spend a large amount of reputation points on potatoes.
Liu Xuan's plan was to first sow 50,000 mu of land. After two months, when the potatoes were ripe, he would take a portion of them as seeds and slowly expand the potato planting area.
The benefit of this was that he could save a large amount of reputation points.
Reputation points were good stuff!
There was an old saying that good steel should be used on the blade.
Therefore, Liu Xuan would save as much Reputation Points as he could.
After a few days of sowing, the infrastructure of Dai County was restarted.
The problem of food for today was temporarily solved.
Immediately after.
A new problem arose.
After five months of training, the fighting strength of the seven thousand soldiers had already taken shape.
It was time to train them in actual combat.
It was still easy to find enemies for actual combat. Liu Xuan had already set his target in advance. They were bandits in the southwest mountain range of Dai County. There were about 3,000 of them scattered around.
However, the problem now was that these 7,000 soldiers did not have any suitable weapons. They were still using wooden weapons.
Although iron weapons and even steel weapons could be bought in the mall, they were quite expensive.
Liu Xuan calculated that if he wanted to arm them all, he would need to spend 50,000 to 60,000 Reputation Points.
It was too expensive!
That's why.
Liu Xuan could only set his sights on the aristocratic families.
! Please vote! He begged for everything! Sob, sob! Sob, sob! Sob, sob!
