"How did you get it? Of course, it's a gift from the system…"
Cao Shuo muttered in his heart, but he waved his hand.
"You don't have to care about how I got it.”
"I only ask you, with this Qu Yuan Li, are you still going to cry to me that you are poor and have no money to open up wasteland?”
Guo Jia turned to Xun Yu.
He was the mastermind and Xun Yu was in charge. The value of the Quyuan Li was still up to Xun Yu to judge.
With Guo Jia's affirmation, Xun Yu naturally no longer doubted the efficiency of the Quyuan Li.
"With Sikong, this divine plow, the current funds of the Imperial Court are enough to promote the opening of wasteland!”
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with doubt as he said happily.
Cao Shuo slapped the table." Alright, let's try it out near Xudu first. Then we'll spread it to the other prefectures."”
"But…"
Xun Yu changed the topic,"
"It's almost winter now, and it's past the season to sow grain.”
"Even if we start farming immediately, we can only sow in the spring of next year and harvest in autumn.”
Cheng Yu agreed,"Xun Lingjun's words are reasonable. This wasteland is a long-term plan, but it can't solve the immediate crisis."”
"Who says we can't sow now!"
Cao Shuo didn't think much of it. He raised his hand and shouted,""Men, bring the steamed potatoes up for them to taste.”
Xun Yu and the others looked at each other curiously.
Basins of steaming hot potatoes were brought to the hall.
The strategists immediately pointed at them, unable to guess what those round stem-like objects were.
"This item is called a potato, also known as a potato.”
"Everyone, try it."
Cao Shuo's eyes hinted.
The eighteen cavalries of Yan Yun gave each of the advisors a potato.
The advisors held the steaming potatoes in their hands, but they stared at each other. No one dared to take a bite.
"Sikong, this Ma whatever potato, can it really be eaten?”
Xun Yu said doubtfully.
Cao Shuo sneered." What? Xun Lingjun, are you worried that I'll poison you?"”
"Si Kong must be joking.”
" But Xun Yu has never heard of this thing before. It's really…"
Xun Yu looked at the potato in his hand, not knowing how to eat it.
Cao Shuo could only demonstrate himself. He picked up a potato and took a big bite.
"Mmm, the taste is not bad. You guys dare to eat it this time, right?”
His lord had already taken a bite, so what was there to hesitate about? Even if it was really poisonous, he could only bite the bullet and eat it.
Hence, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and the other wise men began to eat the potatoes carefully.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they took a bite.
This smell! This texture!
How fragrant…
The advisors 'doubts were swept away, and they quickly turned from careful sucking into big bites.
Praise rose and fell.
Cao Shuo looked at them wolfing down their food and laughed in his heart.
This batch of steamed potatoes had been smeared with salt and other seasonings, so it tasted pretty good.
If it was just dry steamed potatoes, these strategists would definitely complain that it was hard to swallow.
However, for the people who didn't have enough food to fill their stomachs and only hoped not to starve to death, the potatoes were a delicacy even if they were eaten raw.
"These potatoes are not only drought-resistant, but they also produce a lot. One mu of land can produce at least 3,000 catties.”
"Moreover, this thing can still be sown in autumn and winter.”
"Let's immediately open up wasteland and plant these potatoes now. We can harvest a million bushels of potatoes next spring.”
"Let me ask you, will our Cao Camp soldiers still be troubled by a lack of food?”
Xun Yu and the other strategists widened their eyes as if they were listening to a heavenly book.
Although they did not engage in agriculture, they knew that one mu of land could only produce 300 catties of grain at most, and it had to be a good harvest year.
If these potatoes were planted, they could actually produce more than 3,000 catties per mu!
It was ten times the amount of grain!
"Sikong, is there really such a large production of potatoes?”
Xun Yu could hardly suppress the ecstasy in his eyes.
Cao Shuo frowned." Food is a matter of life and death. Xun Lingjun, do you think I'm joking with you?"”
Hearing this, Xun Yu was convinced.
"This potato, coupled with the curved shaft plow, if it is used to open up wasteland, our army will no longer have to worry about food.”
"If these two divine items were to be promoted to the world, they would be able to feed the people!”
"This is an achievement that will benefit the future generations!”
Xun Yu held the potato in his hand as if it was a treasure, his voice trembling with excitement.
Earlier, when he heard that Cao Shuo had beaten up the Emperor and snatched the Empress, Xun Yu had some complaints in his heart.
The moment these two divine items appeared, the dissatisfaction in his heart had already quietly dissipated.
" This Second Young Master actually hid such a divine item. He's really hidden and not simple…"
Xun Yu nodded secretly. He looked at Cao Shuo with a subtle expression.
"Since Xun Lingjun has no objections, then let's quickly promote the Quyuan plow and potatoes.”
Cao Shuo waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!"
Xun Yu gladly accepted the order.
Guo Jia, who was at the side, put the potato in his pocket and quietly left the hall.
Outside Sikong Manor.
A horse carriage carrying Cao Cao arrived in front of the manor.
According to the agreement, Guo Jia would come to welcome Cao Cao into the residence and take control of the situation.
Inside the carriage.
Seeing that Guo Jia had not come, Cao Cao was already getting impatient.
"Phew!"
Guo Jia lifted the curtain and entered the carriage with a strange expression.
"Fengxiao, you're finally here."
"Help me get off my horse and enter the residence to take over the power.”
Cao Cao looked displeased.
"Sikong, you can decide whether or not to enter the residence after looking at this item.”
Guo Jia had a mysterious look on his face as he carefully took out the potato that was not yet cold.
"What…what is this?"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with confusion.
