"My lord, you're too kind."
Seeing how excited Cao Cao was, Guo Yun smiled and explained,""Although the maturity of corn is short, its yield is far inferior to that of rice. However, the biggest advantage is that it does not need fertile land.”
"Oh?"
Xun You frowned."My lord, if that's the case, although the corn is good, it can't really solve the urgent problem."”
Although he was shocked, Gongda was meticulous.
Spreading the corn not only changed the drawback of the long rice cycle, but it also greatly increased the output value of the crops, connecting the two empty periods of spring and winter.
In the long run, it would definitely be a great contribution to the country and the people.
However, it did not have any obvious effect at the moment.
"Mystic Immortal has done well enough! Look at you guys?"
Cao Cao swept his gaze over Xun You and Cheng Yu and praised them generously,""Xuan Xian, what reward do you want? Just say it. The halberd doctor is too light on you.”
There was a world of difference between a Zhonglang and a doctor.
The doctor was only a servant.
And Zhonglang was a general. The current Cheng Yu was only Dongzhong Lang General, an official minister.
But what about his age?
Cheng Yu was already seventy years old, and Guo Yun was only eighteen years old.
Before Xun You and Cheng Yu could persuade her, Guo Yun rejected first,""My Lord, you can't. Xuan Xian is still too young. If he is appointed as a lieutenant general, I'm afraid he will be criticized by others. There's no hurry, there's no hurry. We have to solve the food problem first.”
"Hmm?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up as he said,""Could it be that the abstruse immortal has other methods besides this corn?”
"That's right, this is all thanks to Old Xu…"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned."Well, I don't know what I did either.”
Xu Chu was Guo Yun's hardcore supporter in the Cao Corporation. Since he had made contributions, it was not too much to bring him along.
"I just took a look. The plows used for farming are straight plows, which require two to three people and two oxen to pull. In four hours, it's difficult to reclaim half an acre of land…"
Guo Yun took a wooden stick and drew on the ground."Put the wheels here, turn the curve here, change the curve here…
Do you understand?"
Guo Yun looked up at the dumbfounded Cheng Yu.
"That, this…"
Cheng Yu had many years of farming experience, but the craftsmanship of plows was not within his scope.
Cao Cao was also dumbfounded. What was the meaning of the words 'live wheel',' curved mouth', and 'curved arc'? It was as if he had heard the heavenly book.
"I know that," Xu Chu said disdainfully."It's just like the wheels of a Thunderbolt car! To think that you are the lord's strategists. No wonder the two of you are not among the eight strategists
…"”
"This kind of plow is called the River East Plow. It only needs one person and one cow to operate, and it can reclaim two to three mu of land in a day.”
"If we use this plow, we can save at least half of the time needed for farming!”
After Guo Yun finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao, Xun You, and Cheng Yu. He saw that the three of them were frozen in place, as if they had been petrified. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked in puzzlement,"What? Don't you understand?"
"One Mu of land per day for three people?"
"Two Mu of land per person per day?”
"If we cover it on a large scale, that is, with the same number of people, the amount of fertile land reclaimed will be more than double?”
"If we plant four corns a year, it will be eight times the previous harvest…"
Xun You's fingers trembled as he calculated in awe.
Eight times!
What kind of concept was this?
And this was not even mentioning the bull's strength that he had saved.
One had to know that in the current era, there were not many cows. It could even be said that they were scarce.
"If it is promoted to the people, the benefits of the people will be greatly increased. The local taxes will also increase.”
"With sufficient food, we can promote childbirth on a large scale. When that time comes, the population will increase dramatically.”
"Military strength…"
As he read up to this point, Xun You couldn't help but tremble, and he actually prostrated himself in front of Guo Yunxing."If this Mystic Immortal technique works, the credit will last for thousands of years!”
This was no longer just an urgent problem.
Once his harvest doubled, it could be foreseen that in the next few years, Cao Cao's accumulated strength would reach an unprecedented height. It could even spread throughout the entire country and increase the country's strength to the extreme.
Cao Cao suppressed the overwhelming shock in his heart. His voice trembled as he carefully looked at Guo Yun's drawing on the ground,""Xuan, Xuan Xian, is this Jiang Dongli really that useful?”
"I haven't tried it either."
Cao Cao,"(⊙o⊙)…"
Cheng Yu,"▽"
Xun You,"(^)"
Guo Yun spread out his hands and replied honestly,"See, when I was dragging the Five Ding Mountain Axe, I encountered a huge rock and changed the corner. That's why I thought of this improvement.”
"My credit, my credit!”
Xu Chu raised his chin and said hurriedly.
"But why is it called Jiang Dongli?"
Cheng Yu glanced at him and ignored him."Could it be from the Sun family of River East?"
"Well, I just randomly picked it.”
Guo Yun smiled brightly. The Jiangdong plow was also called the Quyuan plow. It was an improved farming work in the Tang Dynasty and had nothing to do with the Sun family of Jiangdong.
"Old Man Cheng, I remember that you are from Dong'e County, Yanzhou?”
Xu Chu suddenly thought of something.
"Yeah?"
Cheng Yu answered blankly, not knowing why Xu Chu would suddenly ask such a question.
"There's still some distance to the East Ah Separation Sea. Why do you care so much?”
Cheng Yu
had always been strict, so his face turned red and he didn't know how to refute.
Looking at Cheng Yu's deflated expression, Xu Chu raised his head and laughed."My lord, quickly get someone to modify this Jiang Dongli. If it's really as powerful as Xuan Xian said, then I'll have to take a big credit, right?”
"Gongda, immediately copy this method and order someone to modify it overnight.”
"Here."
After Cao Cao gave his instructions, he smiled and said,""Let's not talk about this Jiang Dongli, just this corn is a great merit. Other than an official position, if an abstruse immortal wants anything else, just ask!”
"What about me?"
Xu Chu could not forget it.
"I will reward them all."
"Thank you, my lord."
"Zhongkang doesn't want any gold official position. Lord, I just want to fight with Old Man Cheng, okay?”
"
Hahaha, alright, Zhongde is just being fair and strict. You don't have to hold grudges."”
Cao Cao was in a good mood.
How could he not understand what kind of person Xu Chu was?
"Xuan Xian, don't reject this General. If I don't reward you properly, wouldn't I appear petty if word got out?”At this moment, Cao Cao was extremely friendly to Guo Yun,""If you have any other requests, there's no need to hide them.”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he saw Guo Yun's refusal.
"Why don't I take you in as my foster son?" he suddenly asked.!”
"
My lord, I shall take my leave."”
"Hahaha."
Seeing Guo Yun's defeated expression, Cao Cao laughed even more heartily.
You have a lot of ideas, don't you?
Always acting dumb, huh?
Humph.
