Chapter 46 The Great Harvest
Within a few days, "Lime Song" spread throughout Hebei.
The whole of Hebei was once again in an uproar. This Fengshen general has a good literary talent. In a short period of time, four works handed down from generation to generation unexpectedly made the three of them famous.
So many people moved their minds and inquired about the interests and hobbies of the distracted general.
Many people became excited when they learned that Fengshen would like to read books.
Reading is good, we have quite a collection of books at home, Fengshen will just look at them, not take them away.
If it can be exchanged for a poem handed down from generation to generation, then it's a surefire profit.
It's a pity that they can't find anyone, and even if they meet, they don't know each other.
And Liu Jin continued southward with Diaochan, and soon reached Liyang, and Liyang went south to cross the Yellow River to reach Baima.
Baima and Liyang are located on the north and south banks of the Yellow River respectively. The two places are important traffic routes connecting the north and the south.
And Li Yang was Yuan Shao's front headquarters during Yuan Cao's battle.
In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, took advantage of the convenience of water transportation in Liyang to set up Liyang Granary, where mountains of rice and millet were hoarded and operated. It was one of the eight major granaries in the Sui Dynasty.
There is even a saying that "Li Yang collects and strengthens Kyushu".
Liu Jin and Diao Chan rest overnight in Liyang.
Early the next morning.
"System! Sign in!"
"Ding! Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [-] catties of third-generation hybrid rice seeds!"
Liu Jin was shocked. The third generation of hybrid rice, if he remembers correctly, can produce up to two thousand catties per mu in a single season.
One mu of land requires two and a half catties of rice, and five hundred catties can plant two hundred mu.
In other words, about 40 catties of grain can be produced.
Use it sparingly, but it can keep 10 people alive for ten days and half a month. Although it is half dead, it is better than cool.
And if the self-reserved seeds are planted again, although the yield will drop sharply, it will still be six to seven hundred catties, which is much better than the current three hundred catties.
Although the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is not low, they are actually not suitable for staple food and can only be used as supplementary food to ensure that they will not die of starvation.
After breakfast, Liu Jin took Diaochan to Baimajin, the ferry of the Yellow River.
Liu Jin is rich and powerful, so he doesn't want to wait until the river is full and charter a boat directly.
After crossing Baimajin, Liu and Jin entered the boundary of Baima County, East County of Yanzhou.
After crossing the Yellow River, although the weather is still cold, it has lost the biting chill in the north.
The distance between Liyang and Baima is actually only forty or fifty miles, and it was only noon when Liu Jin arrived at Baima County.
Liu Jin is going to live in Baima for a day to see if he can check out something good tomorrow.
The place of Baima is still very interesting. Yan Liang, the general of Hebei Province, fell here.
It was also in this place that Guan Yu completed his famous battle, beheading Yan Liang's head among thousands of troops.
In fact, at Hulao Pass, Guan Yu warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong, and the three heroes fought against Lu Bu. Many people were not convinced, such as Yuan Shao.
But the Battle of Baima City completely established Guan Yu's reputation as a peerless general.
After Liu Jin and Diao Chan had lunch, they went to the local dentist to buy a map.
Don't underestimate these idiots, they have a dense network of relationships, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and everything you need in life, they can handle it for you, as long as you pay the starting price.
After finding an inn, Liu Jin opened the map and looked carefully.
This area is really famous.
Seventy or eighty miles west of Baima is Yanjin, which is the place where the Hebei general Wen Chou fell.
About a hundred miles southwest of Baima City is the Wuchao where Yuan Shao hoards grain.
Twenty or thirty miles to the northwest of Wuchao is Suanzao, where the princes of the Eighteenth Road of Dongdong met in Suanzao Huimeng.
About eighty miles southwest of Wuchao is the famous Guandu. Guandu is actually located in Sili, which is the political center of the Han Dynasty.
About two hundred miles to the west of Guandu is Hulao Pass, the most important pass in the world. However, Liu Jin has no plans to go to Hulao Pass. If he goes there, he will almost reach Luoyang.
Liu Jin and Diao Chan stayed in Baima overnight, and the next day.
"System! Sign in!"
"Ding! Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [-] catties of corn seeds!"
Ok, Ok!Liu Jin is very happy. The yield of this corn is about [-] catties per mu, and it can be grown in those barren mountainous areas.
No amount of money can exchange these seeds.
The most important corn can also be used as a staple food.
So please call me in the future: the walking granary!
It was not far from Yanjin to Baima, so Liu Jin was not in a hurry and didn't set off until after lunch.
When we arrived in Yanjin, there was nothing to do, so Liu Jin went directly to an inn and waited for dawn.
The next day.
"System! Sign in!"
"Ding! Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [-] catties of modern wheat seeds!"
Liu Jin grinned. The modern wheat yield is about [-] catties per mu, and compared to corn, wheat and rice are the most suitable staple foods.
Although Dahan also has wheat, the output is really not flattering.
During the Qin Dynasty, wheat was cooked and eaten directly. The taste, tsk tsk, refer to the pig food in the countryside in the past, the same thing, even worse.
It was not until the stone mill appeared in the Han Dynasty that people discovered the mystery of wheat processing - grinding it to get powder, and then simply processing the flour, the taste is far better than the previous "boiled wheat", so "cake" began to become popular.
Of course, this "cake" is different from the cakes we usually eat. The "cake" in the Han Dynasty is the food made of flour and water. No matter what shape or how it is cooked, it is called "cake".
But these noodles are all dead noodles, and the taste is still lacking.
But in this era when people can't get enough to eat, who cares about the taste, some food is good.
Liu Jin does know how to ferment flour, but he has been busy studying martial arts and literature before, so he didn't care about researching these things. Besides, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at Li Yan's house.
Coming out of Yanjin, Liu Jin went straight to Suanzao.
Liu Jin had always been curious before, this wild jujube is not close to Hulao Pass.
With a distance of hundreds of miles, it would take four or five days for the army to arrive.
The brains of the princes of Dong Shiba Road twitched, how did they choose to join the Suanzao League?
Liu Jin finally understood when he arrived at Suanzao.
The major princes of the alliance are mainly in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places.
The jujube can be said to be at the junction of Pushui, Jishui and Yingoushui, a tributary of the Yellow River, which happens to be a very convenient Yellow River ferry connecting the states of the Central Plains.
This is like having a dinner with friends. Usually, a compromise is chosen to eat at a restaurant that everyone feels is at a moderate distance from each other and has convenient transportation.
Liu Jin stayed in Suanzao for another day, and the next day.
"System! Sign in!"
"Ding! Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for getting..."
