Chapter 963 Food for Blessings
Three days later.
Three days had passed since Bai Feng sent the letter to Xuchang.
In these three days, the soldiers who sent the letter probably just arrived.
Bai Feng was not in a hurry either. He took out the food from his pocket and handed it to Meng Huo.
Meng Huo took it with gratitude.
Immediately, he planted the seeds in it.
Meng Huo's idea was very simple. These seeds should be what Bai Feng said, with a yield that was enough to save all the people in Nanzhong.
However, Bai Feng also said that this seed would mature in two months at the fastest.
Bai Feng gave them only the seeds of super rice.
This rice grows the fastest, although it is not very delicious, and the yield is not as high as other grains.
However, it focuses on a fast maturity period.
It can mature once in two months.
Even if its yield is far less than that of potatoes and other grains, it is already far more than the yield of corn eaten in Nanzhong today.
Moreover, it is doubled by hundreds of times.
Therefore, this kind of seed that works quickly is the most practical.
If they were given seeds that matured once a year, had a high yield per acre, and tasted good, I'm afraid the daylily would be cold.
What Bai Feng had to do was to solve the Nanman issue as soon as possible.
Now, Bai Feng was still thinking about the good friend that Zhang Ning had mentioned before.
The people of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect...
Bai Feng was not sure what he wanted to do this time.
Was he plotting against Hanzhong, or was he just visiting his family?
Bai Feng was not sure about this.
However, Bai Feng would definitely not let go of any existence that might threaten Hanzhong.
What's more, this person was a supernatural existence.
Hanzhong's defensive fortifications alone could not stop this person.
Therefore, he had to go back as soon as possible.
"Is the food that you planted really useful?"
Jinhuan Sanjie frowned.
As he spoke, he and the three people beside him, including the busy tooth chief Dong Tu, were turning the soil.
The two were now just tools.
Meng Huo had already ordered that the first thing all soldiers should do after waking up was to plant the land.
However, the land under Meng Huo's command has been abandoned.
If you want to plant crops again, there is only one way to go.
That is to renovate it all.
These soldiers, including the generals of Jinhuan Sanjie, have done farming before.
It's just that it's a long time ago.
The South is martial, and in their eyes, conquering the four directions is more important than growing food.
So, they are not very skilled.
"How do I know this?"
"But I feel that the tool that the gentleman gave us is quite useful."
"With this, the speed of turning the soil is at least ten times faster!"
Mang Yachang said with a smile.
While laughing, he and Dong Tu pulled the plow.
There is no such thing as a plow in South China.
What's more, it is an improved version given by Bai Feng.
This thing is everywhere in Bashu. After all, since Bai Feng promoted it, Bashu has always supported it.
Bashu is rich in resources and fertile land.
There are also many lands for growing food.
Therefore, they also stockpiled a lot of such farming tools.
When they heard that Bai Feng needed them, they directly sent a hundred sets.
After tasting the sweetness of this thing, Meng Huo felt that all the effort he had put into farming before was in vain.
With this thing, who would still spend so much effort to farm?
It only takes one day at most to turn the soil.
Not only the generals and soldiers, but also the people must come to help.
However, most of them are skinny.
In order to ensure them, it is also a show of sincerity.
Bai Feng directly ordered a large amount of food to be transported from Hanzhong.
Hanzhong has a lot of food. If you just divide some of it, it is enough for these people and soldiers to eat for a year.
For this, Meng Huo was simply grateful.
With food, at least he can ensure that there will be no more people starving to death in front of him.
However, Meng Huo still needs to persist.
Insist on waiting for Cao Cao to announce the emperor to all directions, so that he can act.
Although Bai Feng gave grain seeds, food, and tools.
And some farming knowledge.
However, without the imperial edict, everything is nonsense.
Meng Huo believes in Bai Feng, but not Cao Cao.
In Meng Huo's eyes, Cao Cao is capricious and violent.
Therefore, Meng Huo will never trust Cao Cao easily.
"Sir, I wonder how much grain can be produced per mu?"
Meng Huo said while looking at the people who were busy turning the soil and sowing in the field.
Bai Feng smiled indifferently:
"It's only about 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms."
"If the terrain is good, it should be around 10,000 kilograms."
Meng Huo said with a smile:
"So that's it, 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms..."
"..."
"..."
"What?!"
Meng Huo was obviously slow to react, and looked at Bai Feng with horror:
"What did you say just now, sir?!"
"7,000 to 8,000 kilograms?"
"More than 10,000 kilograms?"
"Are you kidding me, sir?"
Meng Huo was dumbfounded.
If the land under his command can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, it would be a blessing.
In most places, the yield per mu is only about 400 to 500 kilograms.
However, when it came to Bai Feng, it actually reached tens of thousands of catties?
Isn't this nonsense?
Although Meng Huo believed Bai Feng, it was obvious that Bai Feng was bragging.
How could such a thing be possible?
If the yield per mu was really ten thousand catties, there would be no need to sow in the entire Nanzhong.
Just planting here can supply the barbarians in the entire Nanzhong.
This is not a joke.
After all, Bai Feng said that this seed matures in two months!
Even if one month is deducted in the middle for harvesting and planting, it will not take a month in reality.
In this way, four harvests can be harvested in a year!
If it is harvested and planted at a normal speed, it can be harvested five or six times a year!
Such a terrifying speed, and such a yield, is this not a joke?
Bai Feng looked at Meng Huo's shocked eyes and just smiled indifferently.
Bai Feng knew that he didn't need to explain anything.
Bai Feng had seen too many such expressions before.
When the potatoes were ripe, didn't the Cao Wei officials have the same expression?
For them, this was incredible.
But in fact, this kind of yield is basically very common in modern times.
This super rice is not delicious, without much rice fragrance, and can only be regarded as ordinary.
Apart from that, no one can compare with it in terms of yield.
It has a short growth cycle, is tenacious, can survive with water, and can also fill the stomach.
There is no need to say more, as long as the grain yield is increased, there will naturally be a way to convince them.
Bai Feng smiled indifferently, and Meng Huo did not ask any more questions.
There was still shock in his eyes!
