Actually, Shen Xuan had wrongly accused them.
His understanding of the Three Kingdoms was still at the level of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
He knew almost nothing about the agriculture and economy of the Three Kingdoms period.
How would he know?
In the old village, even if it was a very common thing.
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was a complete black technology.
In the eyes of Cao Cao and the others, it was naturally shocking.
"There are still things to do in the field. Please help yourselves. I'll come over to accompany you later!”
Shen Xuan said to Cao Cao and the others before heading to the fields.
Shen Xuan was a little worried about the sweet potato excavation today and had to guard it personally.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Xuan's back.
Xun Yu lowered his voice." This person's methods are truly unpredictable. Such a genius, you must recruit him at all costs!"”
"I think this person has an unruly temperament. He might not be willing to work for the lord!" Guo Jia shook his head.”
"If he dares to disobey, I'd rather kill him than let him fall into the hands of others!”
Cao Cao said with killing intent.
The dominance and majesty of a formidable man of his generation was fully displayed at this moment.
Guo Jia's lips moved, but he hesitated.
The unfathomable Mr. Shen had many powerful methods.
If he really wanted to kill him, how could it be so easy?
At that time, he would probably not be able to kill him.
Who knows, it might even attract huge trouble!
"Let's go to the fields and take a look!"
Cao Cao brought a few people to the fields.
Shen Xuan was working with a dozen farmers.
The crops in the fields were very strange.
Cao Cao and the others had never seen or heard of it.
They were surprised again.
"What kind of crop is this?" asked Guo Jia.”
"Sweet potatoes."
Shen Xuan brought over many ingredients, including five sweet potatoes.
He used these sweet potatoes as seeds. After two seasons of cultivation, he had now grown to more than one mu of land.
"What's a sweet potato?"
"You don't even know about sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes were a type of food. They could be used as staple food or to feed pigs, horses, cows, and sheep.”
……
Shen Xuan was a little annoyed and really didn't want to pay attention to these idiots.
These people shouldn't be stupid.
It was because his limbs were not diligent and he could not distinguish between the five grains.
"This thing is dug out from the ground and can be eaten?" Dian Wei said in a muffled voice. Although my brain is not good, you can't use this to lie to me!”
"Of course it can be eaten!"
"I'll let you have a taste. After it's clean, you can eat it raw!”
Shen Xuan threw two sweet potatoes to Dian Wei.
Dian Wei took the sweet potato and washed it with the river water.
Kacha!
Dian Wei opened his mouth and bit off half of the sweet potato.
It was not because he was greedy.
Who knew if sweet potatoes were poisonous?
Testing poison for Cao Cao was his duty.
Cao Cao and the others stared at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei was stunned.
"Junming, how is it?" Xun Yu couldn't help but ask.”
"Mmm, it's delicious!"
"The taste of this fruit is really good!”
Dian Wei praised repeatedly and ate the entire sweet potato in a few bites.
Fruit?
Shen Xuan shook his head and smiled.
Whose fruit grew in the ground?
"Give it to me, let me have a taste!"
Looking at Dian Wei's eating manner, Cao Cao's appetite was also greatly aroused.
Dian Wei took out a small knife, peeled the sweet potato, and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took a small bite.
Fragrant, sweet, crispy!
How fragrant!
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly." This is a sweet potato? Why does it feel like a fruit?"
"There are actually fruits that grow underground. The world is really full of wonders!" Guo Jia said.”
Shen Xuan found it funny." Sweet potatoes are not fruits. Not only can they be eaten raw, but they can also be cooked and eaten. If sweet potatoes are mixed with rice porridge, they can be used as the main grain!”
Cao Cao and Xun Yu's eyes lit up.
"Not only can sweet potatoes be eaten raw, but they can also be roasted, steamed, boiled, or dried. They can be left for two to three years.”
"Sweet potato leaves can be used as vegetables or to feed livestock.”
"The leaves and vines of sweet potatoes can also be dried and used as fodder. They can be mixed with black beans and can even be used to feed warhorses.”
Shen Xuan continued to explain to them.
"Are sweet potatoes easy to grow?"
"How many sweet potatoes are produced?"
Cao Cao and Xun Yu asked anxiously.
They had already realized the importance of the sweet potatoes, and their breathing quickened.
"Sweet potatoes are easy to grow. They can be planted on barren slopes. As for the yield per mu…"
Shen Xuan calculated in his heart.
"About four to five thousand catties!”
Shen Xuan remembered that the yield of sweet potatoes in the countryside seemed to be this high.
"Four to five hundred catties per mu?"
" It's actually twice as much as wheat?"
Cao Cao was shocked.
He was obviously mistaken.
It wasn't that his ears weren't good.
It was because the people of this era could never imagine that there would be a grain yield of more than 500 kilograms per mu.
One had to know that the current yield of wheat per mu could reach 300 catties, which was already super high.
"It's four to five thousand catties!" Shen Xuan corrected.”
"How much?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened like copper bells.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia were also in disbelief.
"Four to five thousand pounds. Why are your ears so bad when you're still young?" Shen Xuan asked.”
Cao Cao's mouth was wide open, unable to catch his breath for a long time.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia gasped.
Dian Wei was dumbfounded. My brain is not working well, let me count with my fingers.
