Liantai.

"Duke Wei, I forgot that Changshan was already a country of Duke Wei."

Yang Feng said to Cao Cao with a smile.

While he was talking, he wiped the soil on his hands. At this moment, on the large area of ​​newly reclaimed wasteland behind him, the prefect of Changshan, tremblingly led a group of officials to farm for His Majesty the Emperor. A canal that was obviously opened by the God Emperor personally drew water from the Hutuo River. It was then driven by a small coal-fired steam turbine to drive the generator and then pumped the water pump to a water tower, and then entered the pipes of the farmland through the water pressure, and then turned into spray irrigation of new crops around it.

This is Yang Feng’s agricultural experimental base.

In addition to tropical fruits planted in Taiwan and rubber trees in Sunan, all other crops are here, including cotton areas, grain areas, vegetable areas, fruit areas, and even pasture areas and tree areas. Each area uses this modern irrigation system.

All the machinery is handmade by Yang Feng.

He even built a palace here to prepare for permanent residence. To put it bluntly, he built a few small buildings with reinforced concrete. This is not a big project. He burned the concrete himself. There is no shortage of stones next to it. There is no need to worry about fuel when guarding the Jingxing coal mine area. There is also an iron ore in the south that can provide steel, and various facilities can be built nearby. In fact, there are a few vegetables and fruit areas that need to be banned. Although the plastic greenhouse is too complex, the glass greenhouse is easy. In short, although the seeds have begun, the real construction has just begun. There are still a lot of projects in the future, including industrial construction and roads. He also needs to build roads when transporting coal, but Yang Feng ignored one thing, that is, this place is not his. Ten counties including Changshan have given Cao Cao as fiefdom, which is within the scope of the Wei Gong fiefdom of Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty was joking."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "All this under the world is the king's land. I am just the minister of Your Majesty's land. I am not suitable for the ministers to offer all nine counties outside the Wei Dynasty to Your Majesty, so I will offer this Changshan to Your Majesty."

"How can this make me granted the land of Duke Wei belong to Duke Wei, and how can I take it back?"

Yang Fengfeng said.

"You can just take it away quickly. If you plant it, can I dig it out for you?"

Cao Cao complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is my sincere offer to Your Majesty!"

He said quickly.

"Since this is the case, I'm not polite, but I can't ask you for nothing. This time I traveled across the Western Regions and obtained a gold mine in Dunhuang. How about giving Wei Duke Yichang Mountain? If Wei Duke could hire someone to mine this gold mine, I would not guarantee that if I had too much, I would be able to protect it. Ten thousand taels of gold can be guaranteed every year, and this mine will be returned to Wei Duke. The gold collected has nothing to do with the court!"

Yang Feng said.

The fiefs of Cao Cao's ten counties must be resolved.

These ten counties were too big, Hedong, Henei, Wei, Zhao, Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, Anping, Pingyuan, Ganling, respectively, corresponding to the north bank of the Yellow River from Linfen to Yuncheng. Yang Feng also had the Jin army in his pocket in the Northern Song Dynasty. Then, to the north of the Yellow River, all the places in Hebei except for the east of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, all of which were Cao Cao's fiefdoms. It can be said that one fifth of the core land of the Han Dynasty belonged to him, and such a vast territory belonged to him completely. He appointed officials to collect taxes and had his own army. This was obviously not possible. Even if Yang Feng could tolerate it, Liu Bei and Sun Quan could not. The ideal thing was to retain one Wei county but the other nine counties were taken back, but Cao Cao had to take the initiative to hand over this matter.

This is how Yang Feng told Cao Cao that we could play with the exchange of interests, and the latter handed over the land and gave him wealth as compensation.

As for how Cao Cao chooses...

Yang Feng didn't care. Anyway, he had drawn out the road. Whether Cao Cao could walk or not, it would be fine if Cao Cao didn't leave. Anyway, this guy had not lived for a few years. He could not do his life because of his father-in-law's identity. After all, Cao Cao had cleaned up the north for himself. This was also a contribution, but Cao Pi had nothing to give to him. Just find a fault and cut the seal. This was not a big deal in the Han Dynasty. The royal family and princes could cut the seal even if they make mistakes, let alone a duke of a different surname.

Yang Feng is giving Cao Cao a chance.

Give their Cao family a chance to have a good end and even have a wealth of descendants. If they are unwilling to accept this kindness, they will be unlucky.

"I thank Your Majesty for your gift!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said.

Of course, he also understood Yang Feng's intention, but he still had to think about this kind of thing carefully. There was no one behind him, or even a family. He was also a huge interest group. Many people in this interest group were officials of the Wei State. If they handed over the fief, they would not be able to retain these officials. So what should these people do? Even if he wanted to hand over the fief, he had to wait and see the situation later. It was mainly to see if Yang Feng would take off the donkey in the future. It was still a little too early.

But now Changshan County has been handed over.

Although Yang Feng only occupied a small part, he had to hand over the entire county to hand over it. Cao Cao still had this enlightenment.

In this way, Changshan County returned to the court

"Your Majesty, is this the immortal species? Can this thing keep the world hungry and scrupulous?"

Cao Cao picked up a sprouted potato and said curiously.

"cannot."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Well?"

Cao Cao looked at him in a daze.

"Duke Wei knows why our Han Dynasty always had a very difficult control over the territory outside the border? Is it because the soldiers were not enough and the generals were incompetent? Can the barbarians outside the border fight? "

Yang Feng said.

"Not all, it's just that there is not enough food. Not to mention the areas outside the border, the old ministers used all their efforts to dig canals so that the food from the Central Plains could be transported to the north. The barbarians were indeed brave, but there was not much population after all. If our Han army had the grain to drive over 200,000 troops, the barbarians outside the border would not be enough to fight. It was just that the food was difficult to transport in the rear. The local area was frozen and the cold land could not produce much food. In other words, the Xiangping area could barely be cultivated. Goguryeo or Fuyu were actually half farming and half fishing, and they would starve to death by simply farming."

Cao Cao said.

"The colder this thing is, the more harvest it is. Even if you plant it on the edge of the black water, you can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Cao Cao looked at him in amazement.

"We built a farm in Liaodong, immigrated to the border, and we worked step by step, building a fortification and moving forward. In less than twenty years, we could kill all the barbarians in the north."

Cao Cao then said with a serious expression.

"It also likes dryer land, and it is best to be looser, such as the grasslands in Shuofang, and the loess ridges in Shangjun and the northern part of the land are also very suitable for it. It also likes high places, such as the barbarians living in the southwest with high mountains and ridges, especially the high mountains in Yuezhi County. It is simply a paradise for this thing. Basically, all places can produce at least two thousand kilograms per mu."

Yang Feng said.

"You can use this trick to lure the Di, Qiang, Xiongnu and other generations, so that they can be incorporated into households and become the people, and break away from the control of their tribal leaders."

Cao Cao said.

"wrong."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, please give me advice."

Cao Cao humbly asked for advice.

"This one is only planted in the northeast, and then it is given to the Xiongnu Di Qiang and other generations."

Yang Feng grabbed the corn and said.

“What are the benefits of this thing?”

Cao Cao asked in confusion.

"This thing is a good thing. Although the potatoes are good, they are hard to be called staple food. In fact, it is between grain and vegetables. Eating potatoes alone is obviously not enough. However, this thing is the real staple food, and there is no difference between rice and wheat. If it is done well, the yield per mu can also reach 2,000 kilograms. However, this is not its biggest benefit. Its biggest benefit is that it cannot be kept and needs to be treated separately. At present, I only know how to treat seeds in the Han Dynasty. Does the Prime Minister understand what I mean?"

Yang Feng said.

"The old minister understands."

Cao Cao nodded without hesitation.

He understood so much that he first set up a demonstration area to plant this, and then asked the leaders of Di, Qiang, Xiongnu to visit and let them know the benefits of this, and then let them reward them with fairy planting on the conditions of turning counties as a condition. So they went back to plant it. The next year they would definitely plant it with their own seeds, but the result was that they would starve to death. If they didn't want to starve to death, they had to come and ask for help. At that time, they would do whatever they wanted to do. They wanted them to spread their parts and pieces to supplement them all over the place, so they had to accept it. Anyway, they were not able to come out to grab food, and they could not stop eating.

The grain output has been tragic this year, and no one can resist the staple food that produces 2,000 kilograms per mu.

At this time, one pound is 250 grams.

Even if they do not grow all this, they only plant corn in part, and the second year after the bumper harvest will definitely be expanded and replaced with this. In this way, even if the yield will not be extinguished, as long as the yield shrinks by half, then there will be only a large-scale famine. At this time, most of the Di, Qiang, and Xiongnu were farmed and nomadic, and nomadic was no longer their main food source. The five Xiongnus were almost all in modern Shanxi, and the left was even in Linfen. They could not still be nomadic in this area. Once they encounter this level of famine, they are really in danger of extermination.

At that time, the imperial court could wield food to do what they wanted to do.

These people were destroyed after resisting, and they did not have the courage to do so. At this time, the Han army was a truly powerful army in a hundred battles. It was not like playing with a fierce general like Zhang Liao to deal with a few of the Xiongnus. The last time they conquered Wuhuan, they had already proved this overwhelming military advantage.

By the way, didn’t Cao Cao know the harm of the internal migration of the Five Barbarians?

Of course he knew that he just needed a population too much, but it was not a good thing for these people to live together to live together. If these people who had already been farmed were completely broken down, for example, if a county was divided into several households across the country, under the banner of letting them eat, then they would be completely integrated in a few years, and they would not be able to cause trouble again when they were divided to this level, and the names of these barbarians would completely disappear.

"Look, sometimes killing people and extermination does not require a knife!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, God, God, is beyond the reach of old ministers and ordinary people."

Cao Cao said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
