Chapter 198 Food and Famine



Compared to later generations, this mere three thousand jin (approximately 1,500 kg) may be insignificant.

However, in this era, it is an absolutely terrifying number, a devastating blow to all food products of this time.

If fertilizer could be manufactured in this era, achieving the peak yield of 8,000 jin per mu in later generations would not be impossible.

Although this year's harvest was only 800 jin (400 kg), it's important to know that sweet potatoes can be grown three times a year in warm southern regions.

Even in the cold north, at least two crops can be grown a year.

This means that a yield of 10,000 jin per mu throughout the year is not a dream.

Upon realizing this, Mu Zian's breathing became slightly heavy.

Whether it was the Battle of Luzhou, the poetry gathering on the painted boat, or even the current war against the Xiongnu, they are all insignificant compared to the sweet potatoes before us.

Because what's inside these large urns is what can truly change the world.

After a long while, Mu Zian came to his senses and spoke to Liu Rushi behind him.

"These sweet potatoes must be preserved well; the livelihood of the people of this world is in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi immediately felt the pressure.

"Please rest assured, young master."

After inspecting the sweet potatoes, he then inspected his own one-acre chili pepper garden under the guidance of Liu Rushi.

The chili peppers also brought Mu Zi'an a great surprise, yielding a thousand catties per mu.

The servants in the mansion also carefully preserved all the chili seeds.

The seeds-removed chili peppers were also dried in the sun according to Mu Zi'an's instructions.

The pungent aroma filled Mu Zi'an with excitement.

In this era of scarce resources, being able to eat a bite of chili pepper is more blissful than being a god.

Especially with winter approaching, the feeling of being able to eat a hot pot is simply unimaginable.

Just thinking about Mu Zian makes my mouth water.

However, Mu Zian has to be patient for a few more days until the war against the Xiongnu is completely over before he can finally relax.

After resting for a day at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Mu Zian led Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, and Yi Qianyebushou back to Liangzhou the next morning.

Han Shizhong and Li Siye were temporarily assigned to lead troops to guard the capital.

Meanwhile, within Liangzhou, the Xiongnu people were also suffering greatly.

As temperatures dropped, the heavy snow finally fell in Liangzhou.

An uninvited guest arrived at the Xiongnu camp today.

The Right Wise King of the Xiongnu, Agobhudan, has arrived.
