Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this and then laughed.

"I also have the intention to congratulate you, but unfortunately I can't get rid of it.

Since Yuan Hao, you have such a good mood, I will listen to me on my behalf to go south to Beihai Kingdom and congratulate Youruo on my behalf. By the way, I will send some horses to Meng Yan. I'll ask Yuan Hao to worry about this... Xianfu, are you interested in going to Beihai? You are the same age as Meng Yan, why not walk more?"

Yuan Shang is very arrogant and has no one to be busy with, so he can get into his eyes.

It is rare that Liu Chuang and Yuan Shang have a good relationship, and Yuan Shao also wants to let Yuan Shang and Liu Chuang walk around more.

This also made Guo Tu's face look even more ugly. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what reason to use to stop such a thing.

You know, Yuan Shao's last words were actually mocking him.

Didn’t Guo Tu say that Liu Chuang is greedy for good horses? I’ll give him some more... You are a famous scholar in Hebei, and your demeanor is really bad.

Guo Tu complained in his heart!

"Yuan Hao, why did you suddenly go to Beihai Kingdom?"

After leaving the General's Mansion, Tian Feng was about to get on the car, but he heard someone calling him behind him.

Turning his head to look, it was Jushu.

Tian Feng and Ju Su are fellow villagers, both from Julu.

The two are quite different in age, but they are friends who are old age.

Both of them served under Han Fu and later surrendered to Yuan Shao together. Moreover, their political views were surprisingly similar, so they often communicated together.

As early as the second year of Chuping, Ju Su suggested that Yuan Shao cross the north of the Great River and combine the four prefectures to collect heroes and talents, and to embrace the great masters in Xijing and command the world. In the second year of Xingping, in 195 AD, the Han Emperor fled Guanzhong and passed through Hedong.

Ju Su offered a suggestion and asked Yuan Shao to welcome the Emperor of Han. Then he capitaled in Yecheng and served the emperor as the emperor to order the princes.

It can be said that if Yuan Shao had followed Ju Su's advice at that time, then there would be nothing Cao Cao had to do.

Unfortunately, when Chunyu Qiong and others opposed it, Yuan Shao ultimately did not obey Ju Su's opinions and gave Cao Cao a free gift, allowing him to gain the name of righteousness.

At that time, Tian Feng strongly advocated that Yuan Shao obey Ju Su's ideas and even quarreled with Chunyu Qiong about this.

The two had a very close relationship, so it was after seeing clearly that it was Ju Su. Tian Feng invited Ju Su to get on the carriage, and the two started talking in the carriage.

"I want to go to Beihai to see who Liu Chuang is."

"oh?"

Tian Feng took a deep breath and whispered: "I just said that it is not a false statement to have an old relationship with Zhongling Hou.

Don’t forget, when I was the first to be a censor, I worked under him. But I was familiar with it. But I couldn’t say that the Zhongling Hou might not be able to remember me as a little person. However, when Zhongling Hou submitted a memorial to the "Food is the best for the people" memorial, I did write a chapter with Zhongling Hou, which wrote some of my views in detail, but unfortunately there was no reply.

Now the lord and the four prefectures are in the four prefectures, with many soldiers and abundant generals and abundant food and grass.

But in my heart, I always hope to implement the ideas I wrote in the memorials with Zhongling Hou back then, but I know that it is difficult.

So I want to go to Beihai Country to see how Liu Chuang makes 'food for the people'. At the same time..."

Ju Shu raised his eyebrows, "At the same time..."

"At the same time, I want to know what exactly Liu Chuang is like."

There was a faint murderous intent in his words.

Tian Feng glanced at Ju Shu and smiled slightly, "I believe that Gong Yu also has this kind of thought."

Ju Su couldn't help laughing, "If Liu Chuang is not a big loyal, he will definitely be a traitor... You see, he is in Qi County, and he can be said to be a turnaround and turn a rain. The eldest son and the third son were almost played with by him. If Yuanhao, if you don't go, then I will definitely ask my lord to go to Beihai Country."

Tian Feng nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I will investigate carefully."

Jushu, laughed!

In early December of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned it from Nanyang.

Cao Cao felt very sorry for his failure to achieve his full results in this battle.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu was so difficult to deal with. Although Cao Cao defeated him twice, he never hurt his muscles and bones, which made him feel quite a headache.

At this time, news came from Xudu that Tian Kai had died in battle and Yuan Tan took all the money in Qingzhou.

Cao Cao knew that he had to return to Xudu to stabilize the situation, otherwise it would be a turmoil in Yuzhou.

In addition, the New Year is approaching, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting again. So Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong to station in Wuyin, and he personally led the army to return to Xudu...

"Is this a sorghum?"

Cao Cao used a spoonful of sorghum rice and chewed it in his mouth for a few times. It felt that the taste was far less sweet than corn.

Guo Jia also took a bite, put down the spoon and said, "Although this millet tastes less than that of corn, it can fill people's stomachs, and it's not too bad."

"This thing is indeed very high in yield?"

"As far as I know, Liu Chuang promoted this crop in Beihai Kingdom, and harvested 600,000 hu of hu in just one county... Of course, this is related to the vast land in the Beihai area, but compared with Yanzhou's output of only one and three hundred million hu, the yield of this millet is indeed amazing.

I asked the locals that millet is in Beihai Country, with a yield of nearly three or four hundred kilograms per mu.

If, I mean, if... if the lord could promote it in Yuzhou, it would inevitably alleviate the food crisis in Yuzhou and stabilize the food prices, which would be a great thing."

"What do you think?"

Xun Yu finished eating a small bowl of sorghum, picked up a silk towel and wiped the corner of his mouth, "If millet is really so productive, it can indeed alleviate the grain shortage in Yuzhou."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Yuzhou had suffered repeated wars, its population was still the largest among all states.

If we follow the census during the Zhongping period, Yuzhou has a population of 7.1 million, which can be said to be the most populous place except Yizhou. But it is precisely because of the repeated wars that many lands are deserted. With such heavy population pressure, even if Yanzhou can obtain one million hu of grain every year, it is still a bit nervous for Yuzhou. Therefore, the grain price of Yuzhou is also the highest among all states.

After Xun Yu said that, he glanced at Guo Jia.

"but……"

"But how?"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly. "Don't you know the reason why 'Oranges grow in the south of Huai are oranges, and those grow in the north of Huai are tangerines'?"

"You mean..."

“The yield of millet is indeed amazing.

But you have to consider one issue, that is, the environment of Beihai Kingdom is very different from that of Yuzhou.

Perhaps, Shuzu can obtain amazing output in Beihai Country, but if it is placed in Yuzhou, it is likely that there will be no yield.

Liu Chuang actually sent such a crop. Is it really a kind heart?

I agree to promote Shuzuo, but it is not recommended to promote it on a large scale at once. Although the yield of grain and corn is far inferior to Shuzuo, you should know that this thing has been cultivated for many years and is very familiar to everyone. It is replaced by Shuzuo. Not to mention that the people will resist because of fear, if an accident occurs, the entire Yuzhou will probably face the danger of being cut off from food..."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and looked up and said, "Ruo, what do you mean... Then Liu Chuang is plotting against me?"

"It may not be."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Liu Chuang may not really want to plot against anyone, but he must know. The truth of the orange and citrus.

If it were someone else, he would definitely take strict precautions. But he took the initiative to send it, which means he knew. It was impossible to prevent such a thing. Maybe he also wanted to promote this crop on a large scale, but the risk was borne by the lord."

Guo Jia's face suddenly became ugly.

"What Naruo means is to promote it or not?"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Promotion, but it is definitely not now."

"oh?"

"My suggestion is to find a few places to cultivate first, and other areas are still mainly grains and corn... In this way, even if the cultivation fails, it will not affect the overall situation. Once the trial planting is successful in various places, laws can be formulated and comprehensively promoted.

But I guess it will take a process.

Maybe it will take three or two years, or maybe five or six years to draw a conclusion. But before the trial is successful, I do not recommend a comprehensive promotion."

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.

"If you say it, it's safest."

After saying that, he ate two large mouthfuls of sorghum rice and suddenly smiled: "If you eat it slowly, this millet doesn't seem to be that unpalatable."

Guo Jia also knew that Xun Yu was not targeting him.

However, since the argument with Xun Yu that time, Guo Jia has clearly felt that there was no such feeling of intimacy between Xun Yu and him in the early years. In other words, there was a gap between the two and could not keep a close relationship like before. Guo Jia was depressed and lost his appetite after taking a bite of sorghum.

Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed in his heart.

He thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think Liu Chuang is going to Beihai Kingdom?"

"This person..."

Guo Jia thought about it, but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect that he actually realized my existence as soon as he came back.

Although he sent two children to test it, I could feel that he had doubts about me. So I left immediately. I heard from Ji Yu that as soon as I left, Liu Chuang led people into the inn to look for me. If I had hesitated at the time, I would have been killed by him."

"This guy is quite alert."

“I stayed in Gaomi for five days and learned about some things.

Lord, Liu Chuang is not a mediocre person. He has great ambitions. Judging from his actions in Beihai Kingdom and the promotion of papermaking and writing, this person is very ambitious. If he had been born ten years earlier... Lord, this person would definitely become the lord's confidant."
