Chapter 847 There Are a Lot of People Coming

Two days later.

Potato harvest time is finally here!

The people quickly buried the potatoes they had dug back.

They are now full of confidence in the potatoes in their fields!

If nothing else, the quantity is absolutely huge!

Although they were not able to weigh out in time how many potatoes there were in one acre.

But with such a large amount of potatoes in just one part of the land, these people felt very at ease.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, led a group of civil and military officials and set out for Hanzhong in a mighty manner.

The purpose of this time is to see with my own eyes how much this fairy grain potato can yield per acre!

This time, Cao Cao specially asked Cao Chun to bring out five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to guard and protect the safety of all officials.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was completely different from before.

The equipment they carry has been carefully crafted and upgraded by Ma Jun through thousands of forged steel.

Not only was the weapon in his hand replaced by a slender and strong Miao knife, but the armor and the armor on the horse were also made of faintly shiny thousand-forged steel.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is already handsome, but after the upgrade of this equipment, it is even more shocking.

Cao Cao is not showing off.

In fact, this time, riding out with the tiger and leopard, and swaggering all the way to Hanzhong, there was only one purpose.

That is to let the disloyal people around here take a good look at how strong the Wei Dynasty is now.

Moreover, it is also displayed in the eyes of the people.

Let them see that Wei is stronger than Han.

Along the way, it can be said that Cao Cao received a lot of surprises.

This is why Cao Cao felt a little satisfied.

Of course, these are all secondary. The most important thing is to see what the potato output in Hanzhong is now.

But to be honest, the number of people who came this time was a bit ridiculous.

Bai Feng originally thought that Boss Cao, along with Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xiahou Dun and others, would only come with a few dozen people at most, excluding the escorting soldiers, not many people.

As a result, Cao Cao launched a big battle!

All the civil and military officials in the court are here!

Even Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were dragged over by Cao Cao.

Cao Chong and Cao Jie also followed closely behind.

As for the current palace, it is naturally managed by Cheng Yu and Jia Xu.

The two of them are really miserable now.

Although there are Tiger Guards protecting the safety of the entire palace.

However, there is so much work left for them!

Moreover, the two of them, especially Cheng Yu, who personally delivered the seeds to the farmers, also wanted to see with their own eyes the maturity of the potatoes.

But there is no way.

As the prime minister of a country, he should take the blame for today's emperor, no, share the worries.

Soon, Cao Cao and others arrived in Hanzhong and met Bai Feng and others.

Cao Cao said with a smile:

"Sir, there are now 100,000 acres of potatoes planted in Hanzhong!"

"If there is really the output that Mr. Meng said, then I am afraid that no one will starve to death in Wei Dynasty."

In fact, in today's Wei Dynasty, no one will starve to death.

It's just a difference between being full and well-fed.

But Cao Cao said this to give Zu Baifeng face.

Moreover, potatoes are indeed more filling than rice.

What's more, many counties and cities in the Wei Dynasty are far inferior to Hanzhong where Bai Feng is located.

Many counties and cities are barely able to eat enough.

If potatoes were grown on a large scale, then it would definitely not be a dream for all the people in Wei Dynasty to have a living standard like Hanzhong.

After all, Bai Feng also planted potatoes in Xuchang back then.

Cao Cao also knew how much the output would be.

However, those are some of the best pieces of land in Xuchang.

Can the food grown on this kind of land be the same as that grown on ordinary land?

At this time, Bai Feng shook his head and said to Cao Cao:

"Your Majesty, actually, I don't plan to grow potatoes all the time."

"Potatoes are the same as rice. If they are grown on the land, it will affect the soil quality of the land to a greater or lesser extent, thus affecting the yield."

"I plan to plant potatoes two or three times and then switch to others."

"For example, corn, and peanuts."

After hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone couldn't help but become interested.

Corn and peanuts?

To be honest, they had never seen these two things before and didn't know what they were.

Only a few people, including Cao Cao, knew of the existence of this thing.

corn……

Cao Cao suddenly recalled the golden corn that Bai Feng gave him back then, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

This corn is definitely top-notch food!

tasty!

And it’s especially satisfying!

Even though Lao Cao had a huge appetite, he was actually full after eating two corns!

Bai Feng continued:

"And this corn has more functions."

"Corn can be ground into flour, which will be almost the same as wheat flour, and it will be sweeter."

"As for peanuts, not only can they be eaten in a variety of ways, but they can also be used to extract oil."

"Vegetable oils taste healthier than animal oils."

Good guy!

The ministers called him a good guy!

these things……

I don’t understand it at all!

But it feels so awesome!

"Then it sounds like potatoes are not necessarily good, right?"

"Then why are we planting it? Isn't it a waste of time?"

At this time, a cold voice came over.

This sentence was said by Cao Zhi.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Cao Zhi with a frown.

Obviously, Cao Zhi was deliberately looking for trouble for Bai Feng.

However, what he said was still very hidden. Just what Bai Feng said about corn and peanuts seemed to be true.

Although Cao Cao knew that Cao Zhi was deliberately looking for trouble, he couldn't get angry with so many people.

Bai Feng said unconcernedly:

"Master Cao Zhi's words are wrong."

"The purpose of this potato is not just for cooking and eating."

"If that's the case, it's really no different from rice."

"I think the young master is not so shallow, right?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhi suddenly blushed.

But I couldn't say anything for a while.

At this time, Cao Chong couldn't help but frown and asked:

"Sir, what else can these potatoes do?"

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"This thing has great potential, one of which is that it can drive business."

After hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone was stunned.

Drive business?

Is this a joke?

How can potatoes drive business?

Although the buying and selling of this food is not prohibited, what about it?

If everyone had a lot of potatoes, who would buy potatoes?

Isn't this a joke?

If it's possible, it's not just potatoes, but other crops too.

At this time, even Cao Cao really didn't understand what Bai Feng said.

Drive business?

How to motivate?
