Youzhou was taken down by Cao Shu.

Tian Feng was officially appointed as the governor of Youzhou.

After several days of siege, Ji County was full of broken walls and even the city walls collapsed.

Without staying in Ji County, Cao Shuo came to Yuyang.

Ji County belongs to Guangyang County, while Yuyang belongs to Yuyang County, which are hundreds of miles apart.

Entering Yuyang, Cao Shuo looked at the street scenes on both sides and said to Tian Feng: "No wonder Yuan Hao chose this place as a patrol. I think Jixian is really not as good as Yuyang."

"I wonder if my grandson has ever heard of it. When Gongsun Zan was entrenched in Youzhou, he vigorously strengthened Yuyang, so it is more prosperous than Jixian." Tian Feng replied.

"Since Yuyang is more prosperous than Jixian, why didn't Yuan Xi choose here?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Maybe he thought that Yuyang was the only place to make money for him." Tian Feng said: "Youzhou is located in the north and has been attacked by foreign races all year round. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have fought for so many years. The war has just ended, and the Cao family has attacked again. The entire Youzhou is very poor."

"How is it like Huainan in the past?" Cao Shuo asked.

"That's incomparable." Tian Feng smiled and said, "Yuan Shu was extremely extravagant and wanted to build a palace. Gongsun Zan was not very good, at least he had firmly stabilized Youzhou. Otherwise, he would not have been able to compete with the Yuan family for Hebei for so many years."

"That's right." Cao Shu nodded: "But I guess Yuan Hao can manage it well in Youzhou."

"Young Master respects me so much." Tian Feng said: "Youzhou is different from Xuzhou and other places. Xuzhou and other places are located between the Jianghuai River. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields on both sides of the Huai River. Even the twenty-four solar terms were decided by Liu An, the King of Huai River. Regardless of the climate or fertile land, where can Youzhou be compared with the Jianghuai River? Moreover, it is adjacent to foreign races and may fall into war at any time. I am really unsure of developing this place into Xuzhou."

"War?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Where I am there, there will be no war. Whoever dares to bring war disasters to my people will lead me to their homes."

"What the young master said," Tian Feng replied: "But the climate and land cannot be changed."

"Whether a place is prosperous or not has much to do with the climate and land," Cao Shu said: "Although I believe that the saying goes, "is not as good as the two sides of the Huai River, I also think that Youzhou is vast, and the temperature difference between winter and summer is very large regardless of day and night. A place like this is more suitable for crop growth. If you plant grains here, especially rice and wheat, you will definitely be able to get a good harvest."

"Rice, wheat?" Tian Feng asked in surprise: "Don't the young master think that this place is more suitable for millet and sorghum?"

"The yield of millet and sorghum is not very good." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "What I want is that everyone can fill their stomachs."

"But the same rice yield is not good," Tian Feng said: "Wheat is OK..."

Cao Shu was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that there was no hybrid rice in this era.

Of course, it is impossible for unimproved rice to produce thousands of kilograms per mu like it will be like in two thousand years.

In some land, the yield per mu of rice can reach 200 kilograms is considered a high yield...

Cao Shu was a little annoyed.

I had long known that I would come to this era, otherwise he would have chewed books about hybrid rice technology.

The key to increasing the population is to increase the size of the food production.

Otherwise, if the land is used all, it will not produce much food. If the population is over-inflated, he will not be able to afford it.

"Do you think rice is actually a very magical thing?" Cao Shuo asked.

Not knowing what he meant, Tian Feng looked at him in surprise and asked, "What does the young master mean?"

"If we hybridize several different varieties of rice," Cao Shu said, pinching his chin, "or simply use it to hybridize with other high-yield grains, do you think it will increase the yield?"

Tian Feng was confused: "I don't understand what the young master said very much..."

"Forget it, forget it!" Cao Shuo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Wait until I return to Shouchun to arrange for Miheng to do it. Let him discuss with Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong to see if he can find talents who can do this kind of thing."

"I admire the young master for his always wonderful ideas." Tian Feng said: "But sometimes I think the young master's ideas are really imaginative and unimaginable."

"It's so wild?" Cao Shuo patted his arm and said with a smile: "There are many things we haven't seen before, which doesn't mean there isn't it. One day, people can fly into the sky, soar in the sky, and even fly out of the place where we live, and go to the boundless vast universe."

"The universe? Still vast?" Tian Feng shook his head with a smile: "I really don't understand what the young master said."

"I just said it casually." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "I don't know what it looks like just thinking about it."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people had no knowledge of the extraterrestrial world at all.

At this time, people still think that the sky is round and the low is square, so there is a saying that the sky is round and the place is round.

Cao Shu knew very well that if he brought something that even a primary school student knew in this era in two thousand years, it would only cause an uproar and then cause an unnecessary debate.

There is no way to prove it, there is no way to use facts to make everyone shut up, and to suppress other people's ideas based on his status alone. Even if what is said is correct, the approach is extremely stupid.

"The young master is already confused by my words." Tian Feng said with a smile: "But I really want to see high-yield rice. If the yield per mu is raised, I will dare to let the people of Youzhou be brave enough to give birth."

"If you don't increase the yield per mu, you can also let go of your courage to grow up." Cao Shuo said: "There are a lot of land. What we lack is the warriors who can protect these lands, and the labor who can strengthen these lands."

"I understand." Tian Feng replied.

"I heard that Lu Zhi lived in seclusion in the ancient military towns in his early years." Cao Shuo asked, "Have Yuan Hao ever seen him?"

"How could I have seen him?" Tian Feng shook his head: "Mr. Lu passed away more than ten years ago. At that time, the Yuan family had not obtained Youzhou. Of course, I didn't have the opportunity to visit Mr. Lu."

"What a pity." Cao Shuo said: "A generation of loyal and kind ended up living in seclusion in the mountains and forests."

"The world is in chaos like this, and no one can tell what loyalty is and what treacherous is." Tian Feng shook his head and sighed: "I just hope to see the peaceful and prosperous era one day earlier, just like the rule of Wen and Jing in that year."

"I'm afraid this kind of thing can only be done by my son." Cao Shuo smiled.
