Emperor Liu Hong

() After making up his mind, Liu Hong wanted to go back home.But when he turned around, he suddenly found a foreign devil selling goods by the corner.Of course, foreign devils are Liu Hong's name, and people at that time called foreign devils barbarians.

Foreigners are quite rare in this era, especially in a relatively remote place like Hejian.So after discovering this foreigner, Liu Hong immediately paid attention to him.

When he came to the foreigner, Liu Hong carefully looked at him and the things he was selling.This foreigner is quite down and out, and what he sells is just ordinary things like spices, and there is nothing unusual about it, so after Liu Hong saw it, he was not interested.

Just when Liu Hong was about to turn around and leave, he accidentally discovered sweet potatoes and corn in the foreigner's sack, which made Liu Hong very excited.

"Is this also a 'novice reward', and this foreigner belongs to the npc that distributes the rewards? It seems so, otherwise, how could there be two big killers, sweet potatoes and corn, in the Han Dynasty? This is definitely going against me Ah, with these two things, I’m looking for someone to get Champa rice, and it’s not like a game to feed the 6000 to [-] million people in the Han Dynasty!”

Regarding this matter, Liu Hong couldn't help being excited, after all, this matter was a major matter related to his life.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were refugees everywhere, and the smoke of war was everywhere. After all, it wasn’t that the common people couldn’t eat enough.If all the common people are full, who will have nothing to do and come out to rebel?

Speaking of which, the Han Dynasty did not lack land, and the population was not particularly large.Although the reasons for the hunger of the common people are quite complicated, the lack of high-yield species in the Han Dynasty is the main reason.If the Han Dynasty really promoted high-yield varieties such as sweet potatoes, corn, and Champa rice, Liu Hong felt that the Han Dynasty could still make do for another 200 years, even without reforms.

In order to get sweet potatoes and corn, Liu Hong took the initiative to talk to the foreigner.

This foreigner can be regarded as a master of Han, and he speaks a fairly fluent Chinese, and he has given himself a famous Chinese name, called Fugui.

Speaking of Fugui, this guy is quite unlucky.He came to Dahan from the waterway. Not long after he went to sea, he encountered a storm, and only two of the dozen boats remained.After finally reaching Dahan, he ran into a bandit on the road. He ran out desperately. Except for a small bag of spices, there were only a few sweet potatoes and corn left for food.

This guy Fugui, although his naming skills are not very good, but this guy is definitely a great talent.Although he is not yet 30 years old, he has been to many places.Not to mention those countries in Europe, this guy has even been to such a remote place in South America. He brought the sweet potatoes and corn from South America.Now that Liu Hong discovered it, these two things were directly allowed to take root on the continent of the Celestial Dynasty nearly 1000 years in advance.

For talents, Liu Hong's attitude is "If there is a mistake, he will not let it go." If you see one, you will keep one.So not only did Liu Hong buy all his belongings, he even recruited him directly.

Liu Hong is very clear that if he wants to make a lot of money, he still needs to develop international trade.He had wanted to build a boat and go to sea a long time ago, but he just crossed over and hadn't had time to arrange it.Now that there is such a person who knows the way, it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to recruit him.

With such a big harvest, Liu Hong didn't bother to go shopping anymore, and immediately returned home with the brigade.

Although sea trade cannot be carried out now, those preparations can be carried out first.So as soon as he returned to the mansion, Liu Hong arranged for the housekeeper to find some people and let Fugui teach them foreign languages.

Of course, this kind of thing is just a trivial matter. For Liu Hong, sweet potatoes and corn are the big things.And when the housekeeper learned that the output of these two things could reach more than [-] catties per mu, he went into a daze.

Yiqianjin per mu!

This is simply a myth in the Han Dynasty, where the yield per mu reached two hundred catties, which was considered a high yield.If it weren't for Liu Hong who said this, the housekeeper could have whipped him with a big ear scraper.But even if Liu Hong's performance has always been miraculous, the butler is still skeptical about this statement.

"I'm really ignorant! I'm just saying that I'm afraid of shocking the world. Otherwise, if you know that their yield per mu is as high as several thousand catties, you won't be scared to death." Liu Hong was surprised by the housekeeper's rarity. disdain.

As the saying goes: there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Although the housekeeper was skeptical, what if this was true, especially if Liu Hong said it so solemnly.So even though he was suspicious, he still carefully took the sweet potatoes and corn out of the sack, and immediately put them into the warehouse. For safety, he added two locks to the warehouse, so he was relieved.

After the sweet potatoes and corn were taken out, the sack was useless. The housekeeper picked up the sack and shook it to make sure that there was nothing else in it before throwing it away.But unexpectedly, two shriveled red things fell out of it.

These two things are unknown to others, but Liu Hong is quite familiar with them. This is the chili pepper that everyone in the future generations will know.Although chili is not so important compared to sweet potatoes and corn, but as a good condiment, chili can be regarded as a pretty good "extra bonus".

Don't look at Liu Hong's unwillingness to eat spicy food, but there are many dishes that cannot do without chili peppers.Especially recently, the housekeeper wants to open several restaurants, so the Chili came at a good time.With the stir-fried vegetables and noodles in Hou's mansion, plus the current chili, it is already a certainty that this restaurant will make a lot of money.

Liu Hong doesn't care about the restaurant's affairs, and Liu Hong doesn't care much about the peppers.However, Liu Hong had to carefully consider the matter of sweet potatoes and corn.

These two things are unusual. In this era of lack of food and clothing, these things are auspicious. If they are taken out like this, they will definitely change history.Therefore, before Liu Hong ascended the throne, he would never reveal it, and the butler also had the same attitude towards it.

Although it cannot be made public, these two things must be planted, and they must be planted on a large scale.Otherwise, even if Liu Hong ascends the throne, he will not have enough seeds to promote in a short period of time.

It is necessary to keep it secret and plant it on a large scale. In that case, the fiefdom of the Hou Mansion will definitely not work, so we can only find another remote place to do it.

In this case, the workload will be heavy, and there will definitely not be good land in remote places. After buying it, it will need to be sorted out. In addition to the planting personnel, it will definitely require a lot of people.Fortunately, it is the end of the Han Dynasty when natural disasters continue. At this time, the refugees are already quite large, and there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit people.

Since he wanted to buy land, Liu Hong didn't plan to make any fuss.He wants to directly build a large ecological farm.After all, as soon as you take advantage of the busy work, you can do it in one step, saving you trouble in the future.In this way, not only can the current problems be solved, but also the experience of ecological breeding can be summarized, which can be better promoted in the future.
