Chapter 843 The Days of Farmers
Although it is now the Wei Dynasty, it is no longer the Han Dynasty.
However, most of the laws of the Wei Dynasty were adjusted according to the laws of the Han Dynasty.
All elderly people over eighty years old in the Han Dynasty can enjoy the special treatment of "nurturing the elderly, giving them a few sticks, and eating rice porridge".
This article has not been changed at all.
Since ancient times, respecting and loving the elderly has been a traditional virtue.
This old man is not only over seventy, he is now ninety-five!
Looking at the entire world, how many people can reach the age of ninety-five?
Even in modern times, living to be ninety-five is considered pretty good.
Moreover, the old man seemed to be in good health. It might be because he often worked in the fields and exercised.
"No wonder the old man is not afraid when he sees these dozens of guards."
"Someone is disrespectful."
Cao Cao said with a smile.
I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I would encounter such a rare existence.
"Come on, look at your temperament, I'm afraid you're not an ordinary businessman, right?"
"Tell me, what official?"
The old man looked at Cao Cao and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.
This old man can actually see this?
Done!
Bai Feng stopped Dian Wei again.
Cao Cao was quite puzzled:
"Don't you look like a businessman?"
The old man laughed, touched his beard and said:
"Old man, I have met many merchants and many officials, but I have never seen a merchant who can't help but exude such majesty as you."
"No matter how you look at it, you are an official."
"Since he's disguised as a businessman, he must be doing a private visit incognito, right?"
Cao Cao immediately laughed and said:
"Not a big official, just a small official."
"The old man has really good eyesight."
The old man waved his hand and said:
"The old man has lived for more than ninety years. If he doesn't even have this kind of vision, his life will be in vain."
"I advise you, don't do any private visits in Hanzhong."
"We in Hanzhong will be fine no matter where we are."
"Old man, even though this is the poorest place, we still have enough food and clothing. We have enough food and clothing, and we don't have to worry about livelihood at all."
Cao Cao just smiled dryly and did not answer.
With the old man's keen insight, Cao Cao estimated that if he said even one more word, the old man would be able to detect his true identity.
"Okay, since you want to see it, I will open your eyes today."
"Let you see how good our life is under the governance of Hanzhong Hou."
After saying that, the old man stood up slowly, and Bai Feng on the side unconsciously walked over to help the old man.
The old man waved his hand and said:
"Although the old man doesn't walk very neatly, he can still walk on his own."
"Walk."
After saying that, the old man stooped and staggered forward.
Apparently, he was going to the fields.
At this moment, Dian Wei whispered with a smile:
"Sir, it seems that you are really popular in Hanzhong."
Bai Feng glared at Dian Wei.
Good guy, this old man has good ears. If he hears that he is the Hanzhong Marquis who was praised by him, then what's the point?
At that time, Cao Cao's identity will inevitably be exposed.
The Marquis of Hanzhong, Lord Marquis.
Besides the Emperor, who else could be accompanied by the Marquis of Hanzhong?
Dian Wei also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly closed his mouth and said nothing.
However, at this time, Cao Cao was also extremely emotional.
Bai Feng's status in Hanzhong can be said to be clear at a glance.
The ninety-five-year-old man has experienced it from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present. What kind of storms and waves has he not seen?
It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of old man is almost the treasure of the entire Wei Dynasty.
Now, even this old man praises Bai Feng so much that he doesn't need to look at other people's reputation.
Soon, everyone came to the field, and the old man said with a smile:
"Look, this is my baby."
After saying that, everyone looked over.
Good guy, the mountains and plains are covered with golden wheat!
At first glance, these wheats were grown from the seeds given by Bai Feng.
The grains are plump, long and dense, and they look shaky. It’s almost time for a good harvest.
But it’s not just the golden wheat waves.
There are also lots of peppers, eggplants, peas, etc. to eat.
Everything is available.
"See, all these grains belong to our family."
"We in Hanzhong can sell everything, but we can't sell food."
"One harvest of these grains is enough to feed our family of more than ten people for several years."
"Normally, if someone's family is short of food, we will send the food there."
"However, it is probably rare to encounter this year."
"If this happened in the past, I wouldn't have dared to think about it!"
After seeing everyone's shocked look, the old man smiled proudly.
There were so many merchants and officials coming and going, and they basically had the same expression as everyone else.
Except for Bai Feng, who didn't feel anything and was used to it, everyone else was almost dumbfounded.
This is just a farmer!
One farmer's family can grow enough food in one harvest for a year, and there are more than a dozen people!
Most of Bai Feng's grain seeds have a good harvest every two months, and the latest ones have a good harvest every half a year.
If this continues, how much food will be in the granary?
This is simply extremely rich!
The old man was indeed right.
This was something I couldn’t even imagine before!
Not to mention having a full meal, even being able to eat is a blessing.
Now, everyone finally understood why Hanzhong today was praised by many as almost becoming the most prosperous place in the entire Wei Dynasty.
This can be seen from the home of this ordinary old farmer.
Cao Cao was already shocked by the food all over the mountains and plains.
It looked like there was a lot of wheat just now, but in fact it was only a few acres.
In addition, there are many potatoes, sorghum, etc.
Except for wheat, other grains seem to have not yet reached maturity.
Looking at the green seedlings, they seem to symbolize the newly established Wei Dynasty, full of vitality.
Cao Cao was filled with emotion when he saw this, and he was very excited.
Cao Cao couldn't hold it back for a moment and secretly plucked a grain of wheat from the field.
This wheat is almost ripe, bent over and looks extremely tempting.
After seeing this, the old man smiled and said:
"You can't eat it now."
"In the past, everyone would be scrambling to eat the raw wheat."
"Now, we have to grind them into flour, make noodles, and make steamed buns."
"This is all taught by the Marquis of Hanzhong. If you are greedy, come to the old man's house. We just made a big pot of steamed buns, but you can't eat them."
Hearing this, Cao Cao was extremely surprised.
Steamed bun?
In the palace, steamed buns are often eaten, as well as steamed buns, which are all recipes given by Bai Feng.
Unexpectedly, ordinary people can actually eat it?
