Chapter 95

After they had been cool under the grape trellis for a while, Liu Bu took Chen Yuanyuan's hand and strolled around the garden. He had the pleasure of pressing the road with his beautiful girlfriend after dinner. Now he noticed that his own garden was too big. If there was no accident, there should be no second private Garden in the whole Jiaozhou area.

He covers an area of nearly three mu. There are many rockeries, strange rocks and strange flowers and plants. The Liu family is the third generation of wealth and has accumulated good capital and heritage.

In this huge garden, the evening wind is gusty, the cool wind is blowing, and accompanied by beautiful women, Liu Bu feels relaxed and happy.

Chen Yuanyuan has nothing to deny now. She said happily, "in fact, what I like most is your garden here. It's too big. There are all kinds of strange flowers and plants. It's simply a dream world."

Liu Bu said proudly, "if you like it, it takes a lot of money and manpower. It took decades to have today's scale, which is much larger than Linqing's yard."

He was thinking about the future large-scale park museum and the Museum of exotic flowers and plants. It is estimated that this is all.

Liu Bu was walking. Suddenly he saw some strange vines. He ran over and looked. He was a little shocked. He said, "isn't this sweet potato?"

Chen Yuanyuan took a small round fan and took Liu Bu's hand. Until now, Liu Bu threw her hand away. He ran excitedly and shouted at a pile of green trees and vines. He said strangely: "childe, this pile of vines and grass is not beautiful. Why did you pay attention to childe?"

Liu Bu said the same thing. He said, "isn't this sweet potato?"

Chen Yuanyuan hesitated. She said, "I don't know my body."

Liu Bu had nothing to hesitate. He immediately ordered a gardener who followed him to come. He said, "ask you to come here."

The Liu family's garden covers an area of three mu, so there are special people here to take care of it, and there are more than one person in charge. There are so many people, and there is a head in charge. Of course, he is not a housekeeper, but a little housekeeper.

The housekeeper immediately ran over to ask Liu bu. He said, "young master, what can I do for you?"

Liu Bu asked him directly, "isn't this sweet potato?"

The little housekeeper said, "young master, you really have good eyesight and have a wide range of knowledge. This is one of the rare flowers and plants sent by master Zheng. Although it looks ugly, its roots are rich in sweet potatoes, crisp and sweet, and the yield is very high."

When Liu Bu saw these sweet potatoes, he looked up and laughed wildly and said, "God helps me, and God helps me."

Chen Yuanyuan rarely saw Liu Bu's gaffe and laughter. She was surprised and asked, "why is the childe so happy?"

Liu Bu said to him, "God helps me now! Yuanyuan, you are really Wangfu, very Wangfu." he said with ecstasy.

Liu Bu never thought that there was something in his garden that he had been looking for. It can be said that if he hadn't been because there were beautiful women in the room, he couldn't have visited the back garden or found it.

Chen Yuanyuan said in surprise, "why did you say that, childe?"

Liu Bu asked the steward, "how many sweet potatoes do we grow here?"

The housekeeper said, "it's here. It's mainly planted for viewing, but there are some sweet potatoes at the root. We all take them to the kitchen to cook sugar water."

Liu Bu said to him, "you know how to cultivate this kind of thing?"

The tubular family said, "this kind of thing is very drought resistant and easy to grow. As long as it is planted underground, it will naturally grow. It's impossible to talk about planting, but small people do know how to grow it."

Liu Bu said without hesitation, "you will be rewarded with ten Liang silver. You need to be ready. Tomorrow I will call a special person, and you will be responsible for teaching them to grow this sweet potato."

The housekeeper saw that Liu Bu was so forthright, and his hand was ten liang of silver, which was equivalent to his salary for a year. He was very happy. Even the said to Liu Bu, "thank you, childe. Thank you, childe. You have many blessings and longevity." after thinking about it, he asked, "childe, how much are you going to plant?"

Liu Bu said to him, "you help me pull up all the seeds here. As seeds, you have to plant as many sweet potatoes and seeds as there are fields here."

Sweet potato is a good thing. It is a famous high-yield crop.

There has always been a rule in Chinese history, that is, when the population is large to a certain extent, there is not enough food for the people to eat, and then these people begin to rebel and make trouble. This is one reason why the imperial dynasty can't live for 300 years.

Liu Bu found that the ancient population could never exceed 100 million. The main reason was the problem of food. Whenever the population expanded to a certain extent and there was not enough food, he began to enter the situation of self destruction. However, these situations were perfectly solved by the Manchu and Qing Empire. How did they solve them? The land will not grow. They introduced the famous sweet potato and potato. The high-yield crops such as corn greatly increased the output. With enough food, the population began to grow wildly. The so-called prosperity of KangQian in history is actually the dividend brought by sweet potato. Some people also call it sweet potato empire.

Liu Bu always wondered where I should go to find these legendary things. It is said that sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced from Luzon as early as the Wanli period. They were promoted in the coastal areas of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, but because the rulers did not pay attention to them, they could not be promoted in the north. He thought he would not see them, Who knows it was really for him to see.

Liu Bu almost made himself dance with excitement. He thought that if he had sweet potatoes, he would not let him fly. As long as he had enough food and more food, it would be great.

Then Liu Bu expanded the scope of his search. He was thinking that maybe my garden was full of strange flowers and plants, many of which were legendary artifacts. As a result, he found what he really TMD wanted. Here he found potatoes and corn.

Liu bu no longer doubted his hero's aura. He danced happily and kissed Chen Yuanyuan mercilessly.

In fact, Chen Yuanyuan liked and enjoyed Liu Bu's enthusiasm and love. But in front of so many servants, she felt a little embarrassed. She covered her face with a small round fan and said, "I'm not serious."

Liu Bu took all the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in front of his eyes. He directly asked the little housekeeper, "do you know what these things are?"

The housekeeper said, "yes, I know. Every time we introduce something, we will understand and analyze it, and then know what it is cultivated."

Liu Bu was very happy. He said, "very good. Go and help me get his cultivation experience right away. From tomorrow, I will vigorously promote these things. In Fushan and Jimo, all wastelands and open spaces have to be planted with potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn."

The tubular family said, "these things are just the childe we usually grow to watch. You..."

Liu Bu said directly, "are you questioning me?"

Even in the 21st century, 400 years later, corn, sweet potato and potato are still one of the main grains in the world. With these things, it will not be a problem to feed hundreds of millions of people, even 6 billion people. This is the big killer.

Liu Bu doesn't care. He knows that it's the little ice age. People in this era generally have a problem, that is, it's a kind of happiness to eat enough, that is, the landlord can barely eat enough. It can be said that as long as he has enough food in his hand, he can recruit soldiers and horses, and he can dominate the world.

So after he saw these legendary artifacts, he did not hesitate to order full promotion under his rule.

Liu Bu knows one thing. As long as he can solve the problem of food and let these people eat and wear clothes, he can say that he has solved the main problem of this era. It is estimated that the general trend of the world is that they stay at home.

Liu Bu didn't have any hesitation. He didn't feel like pressing the road with Chen Yuanyuan here. He immediately returned to his duty room and asked his housekeeper Liu Fuqi to come.

Liu Fuqi, an old man, was just going to sleep after dinner. Then the young master urgently summoned him. He came right away.

Liu Fuqi asked him, "young master, you urgently summoned the old slave. What can I do for you?

Liu Bu said directly, "uncle Liu, our Liu family is really going to be rich this time."

Liu Fuqi said, "what do you say?" At ordinary times, he must think Liu Bu is bragging and doing something out of tune, but now he has seen Liu Bu's means of changing coarse salt into refined salt. He knows that the childe of their family is actually like their master. He is a man of great wisdom. If he doesn't cry, he will become a blockbuster. Now he goes all out to take charge of the business in the family and begins to work It broke out.

Just like their master in those days, he was even more playful than he is now. Now the young master is just eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in Linqing. When he was young, his master was more unrestrained. He was going to wander the Jianghu with a sword. After wandering for several years, he almost didn't kill the old lady. But one day, when he returned to his family and took over his business, he would kill the whole family The family's business is well organized, and the whole family's business has risen to a higher level.

Now the young master looks a little like the master was trying his best to break out.

Liu Fuqi was the one who followed the master in those years. He saw the Liu family change from an ordinary powerful family to a top-level rich family, and gained the nickname of Linqing Liu family, the richest in the world. At that time, he saw the power of the master at that time.

He also saw that you Liu Bu were also bursting out of this potential. He looked excited immediately. He immediately asked, "young master, tell me what you have in mind."
