Manager Xu was stunned when he heard this. Why do you dislike this? After all, it is an edible potato. Moreover, "Master Hou, this cassava is very productive. Qin Qianhu said that the wild ones can be produced per acre." It weighs more than two thousand kilograms, and if planted carefully, it is estimated to be close to three thousand kilograms, which is considered a rare high-yielding crop."
Xu You became crazy after he brought Duke Xing to a tragic defeat and took over the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest. When he heard what Steward Xu said, he frowned in dissatisfaction: "You are a slave of the Xu family. How dare you speak for Qin Sanlang, who is your master?!"
In the final analysis, Qin Sanlang is just a slave of his Xu family, and now he has to listen to Xu You.
Manager Xu was shocked and hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "Master Hou, please calm down. It's my fault. I'm not speaking for Qin Sanlang, but I don't want to hurt the Sixth Young Master's desire to help Master Hou."
Steward Xu wiped away tears... It should be said or not, everyone in the Xu family, from the master to the slaves, loves to cry.
Guanshi Xu said: "Sixth Young Master has always wanted to help the Marquis. He knows that the entire Chu State is short of food. He also knows that when Long'an Prefecture was besieged by bandits, a soybean was as good as a golden bean. When he saw cassava, he heard that cassava was After the high yield, I was so excited that I cried. I immediately asked Qin Sanlang for the water immersion detoxification method, and wrote back to tell the Marquis that I wanted the Marquis to agree to plant cassava to help him solve the food crisis...Marquis, although cassava is Its poisonous, but for the sake of Sixth Young Master, please dont give up so quickly.
"Guanshi Xu is right." Mr. Qianshan walked in and bowed his head to Xu You: "I have met the Marquis."
Xu You respected Mr. Qianshan very much and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is no need to be polite."
He then asked: "Sir, do you think the ghost potato is worth planting? But it is very poisonous, and I am worried about planting it. Before it is soaked in water to remove the poison, the ghost potato will harm people and animals first."
"I heard someone talk about Guimingshu. That person was a soldier from the northwest. He said that Guimingshu is not only poisonous to the potatoes, but also to the branches and leaves. It is too risky to plant such a poisonous substance in large quantities."
and
Xu You paused and looked at Manager Xu and the others: "You go out and wait."
"Yes." Manager Xu quickly got up and took three servants out to wait.
After they left, Xu Youcai said: "If we plant ghost potatoes on a large scale, once the yield of several thousand kilograms per mu is reported, how can Emperor Jingyuan send us supplies?"
Now he can still use the excuse of lack of food to ask for supplies from Emperor Jingyuan and hoard the supplies. But if he mentions that Guimingshu can be eaten, Emperor Jingyuan will definitely not give them more because of how stingy he is. Supplies come.
Mr. Qianshan: "It turns out that the Marquis is worried about this. Indeed, after the war stopped, Emperor Jingyuan gave the northwest less and less supplies. And we must stock up more supplies to prepare for next year's famine."
Mr. Qianshan is not a fool if he can become a counselor that Xu You respects. He has already predicted that there will be a famine in Dachu next year. He gave Xu You an idea and asked Xu You to fight Tuogude every month. He could not Let the war stop for too long, and then ask for supplies from the capital every month in the name of war.
It would be best to empty out half of the twelve major granaries of the imperial court. When there is a famine, the imperial court will have no soldiers and no food, and it will have to help the hungry people. But they have soldiers and food, and they can attack Emperor Jingyuan at any time and destroy the great Chu. Got it!
That's right, Xu You and Mr. Qianshan never wanted to be loyal ministers, and the reason for their disloyalty was related to their life experiences... They carried the legacy of their ancestors and wanted to destroy the Chu State. And Xu You dotes on Xu Lius mother and trains Xu Liu as his heir, also because of the identity of Xu Lius mother... Xi Niang is not an ordinary official family member who has been convicted, Xi Niangs ancestor is a relative of the emperor!
Had he not been married and had children when he rescued Xi Niang, and his first wife also had some status in the family, he would have divorced his first wife and made Xi Niang his first wife.
Mr. Qianshan pondered for a while and said: "The matter of the ghost life potato should be kept hidden from the capital for now, but if we succeed, we will have to bear the rations of the entire Chu people... Since it was Qin Sanlang who discovered that the ghost life potato can be eaten, then Let the three guards plant it first. If it is planted and no one dies after eating it for a year, we will ask him to hand over the ghost potato. He is just a thousand households, and you are the Marquis. If you ask him for it, he will Dont dare not give it.
Guan University's first -level crowded people, this is reality. Qin Sanlang has a thousand households, only to listen.
Xu You agreed: "If you still have a way, sir, let's do it like this."
He then asked: "Mr. Qianshan, does Da Chu really have twelve large granaries?"
Mr. Qianshan nodded: "Of course there are, the eight granaries are just on the surface, and there are four granaries hidden in places unknown to the world, in case the Chu is in danger and used to rescue the Chu."
After saying that, he sneered: "But Emperor Jingyuan is too incompetent. The Chu Dynasty is almost exhausted. There is a war in the northwest, and a mysterious force emerges from the northeast and occupies the place where Dongqing and Northeast meet as king. If we come back next year In a famine, let alone the twelve major granaries, not even the divine soldiers from heaven can save Dachu."
The great Chu will surely perish!
But they endured humiliation and lived in secret for several generations, and finally they were able to restore their ancestral name in their generation and live an upright life.
Speaking of the forces in the Northeast, Xu You frowned and said: "The King Wei in the Northeast is also arrogant. We contacted him several times, but he ignored us at all. He only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He doesnt take us seriously and still declares himself the King of Wei. If he is allowed to occupy the entire Northeast, he cant directly proclaim himself the emperor?!
Xu You was very angry. Originally, Chu's strength was almost exhausted. He only needed to negotiate with the bandits and cede half of the northwest. After a famine broke out in Chu and the victims revolted, he could lead his troops to the capital and kick Emperor Jingyuan off the throne. This would complete the process. The teachings of our ancestors, be the new emperor of this land.
However, a King Wei came out from the northeast.
This King Wei is not only mysterious, but also arrogant. He treats him with disdain and makes a fuss as if he is supporting King Wei.
boom!
Xu You became more and more angry as he thought about it, and finally smacked the table and said to Mr. Qianshan: "Don't send any more messages to that side first, wait and see... That King Wei dares to establish himself as king, Emperor Jingyuan will definitely not let him go. When the news reaches the capital, Emperor Jingyuan will definitely send troops to annihilate him. After he is beaten to the point of annihilation, he will honestly come to beg me!"
When the time comes, he will give back the irritation he has received in the past few months and let the arrogant King Wei have a taste of the irritation!
But
Mr. Qianshan said with some sadness: "The man who calls himself King Wei is probably from the lineage of Duke Wei... If he is a descendant of Duke Wei, that would be bad."
Mr. Qianshan looked at Xu You and said: "The Wei Guogong line once controlled the entire Northwest Army. Even though the Northwest Army was defeated by Emperor Jingyuan, the people in the northwest still love the Wei Guogong line very much. If the Wei Wang Zhen is a son of Duke Wei, once he raises his voice, I am afraid many people will join him, which will be very detrimental to us."
Xu You wants to be the king of the northwest, but if a descendant of Wei Guogong's line comes back, Xu You will be nothing.
