Two days later, Yun Zheng and his team found another tribe.
In the past two days, they raided two tribes in succession.
Because their vanguard troops were dressed the same as the Beihuan people, the people from both tribes were not at all prepared for them, making their raid unusually smooth.
After the two battles, they lost less than a hundred people.
After the army was divided into the front and rear armies, more than 200 seriously injured soldiers were also taken away by them.
The front army was responsible for the raid, while the rear army was responsible for carrying the captured supplies and seriously wounded soldiers.
All materials that are easy to carry should be taken away, and those that are not easy to carry should be burned directly.
As for the cattle and sheep of these tribes, they killed them all.
They couldn't take it away, nor could they leave it to Beihuan.
After two days of fighting, they seized a lot of armor.
...
...
Now, among their team of 12,000 people, 5,000 have dressed up as Beihuan people.
At dusk, Qin Qihu led his troops to raid a Beihuan tribe again.
By the time Yun Zheng led the rear army to arrive, Qin Qihu and his men had already cleaned up the battlefield.
As soon as Yun Zheng arrived, Qin Qihu came over with an excited look on his face.
"Guess whose tribe this is?"
Qin Qihu blinked and asked Yun Zheng with a smirk on his face.
"How should I know?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at him, "Could it be Jiayao's tribe?"
"Hey, you guessed it right!"
Qin Qihu laughed loudly and said, "We just interrogated the people of this tribe and found out that this tribe belongs to Jiayao. About a hundred miles to the northeast, there is another tribe affiliated with Jiayao..."
As he spoke, Qin Qihu showed a sly smile on his face again.
Obviously, Qin Qihu was planning to attack that tribe again.
Hearing Qin Qihu's words, Yun Zheng's heart couldn't help but move.
Jiayao’s tribe?
That must be taken care of!
"Rest first and take care of the tribe tomorrow!"
A smile flashed across Yun Zheng's face.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too!"
Qin Qihu chuckled, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this tribe seems to be a farming tribe, and there are not many cattle, sheep and horses! However, when I interrogated the people of this tribe, I heard that Jia Yao asked them to plant something that seemed to be a treasure..."
"Baby bump?"
Yun Zheng looked curious, "What treasure?"
"I don't know either!"
Qin Qihu touched his head and said, "I saw they had covered the ground with a layer of grass, so I asked someone to dig some out. I don't know what it is. Take a look and see if you recognize it..."
As he spoke, Qin Qihu took out something like a hammer and handed it to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng wiped off the black ash on it, and the thing finally revealed its true appearance.
When Yun Zheng saw the true appearance of this thing, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Oh shit!
This is... sweet potato!
This woman Jiayao actually grows sweet potatoes in this tribe?
Where did this woman get the sweet potatoes?
In ancient times, this thing would definitely be considered an extremely high-yield crop!
Judging from the size of this sweet potato, it certainly cannot be compared with the yield of those sweet potatoes that were scientifically cultivated in the previous life.
A yield of 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms per mu is definitely unrealistic.
But a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
How many kilograms of wheat does Shuobei produce per mu?
If you can produce 300 kilograms, it is definitely a high yield among high yields!
Moreover, this has to be prime land.
Compared with the yield of sweet potatoes, it's simply dregs!
"Brother, what on earth is this?"
Qin Qihu looked at Yun Zheng, who was breathing rapidly, with curiosity. "This black thing, can it really be a treasure? By the way, can it be eaten?"
“You can eat it, absolutely you can eat it!”
Yun Zheng excitedly pressed Qin Qihu's shoulder and said, "Brother Qin, you have done a great deed this time!"
Sweet potatoes are life-saving food in times of famine!
"ah?"
Qin Qihu was a little confused.
Does this count as a great achievement?
Yun Zheng didn't bother to explain to Qin Qihu, and quickly ordered Yu Shizhong, "Quick, tell someone to dig all these things out of the ground! Oh, and when you pack them up, put some soil in them to prevent them from freezing! Quick!"
Yun Zheng was very excited.
Damn it!
This is really good stuff!
This girl, Jiayao, actually secretly grew sweet potatoes?
Does she want to use sweet potatoes to alleviate the food shortage in Beihuan?
While others are digging potatoes in Siberia, is she growing sweet potatoes in Siberia?
Fortunately, I discovered it myself!
Take it away, take it all away!
Don’t leave her any sweet potato!
However, the production of this thing in the north should not be as good as that in the south, right?
Who cares!
No matter how bad it is, the yield is higher than that of wheat!
"What on earth is this? Look how happy you are!"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with curiosity.
They had raided several tribes before and seized so many war horses, but Yun Zheng had never been so excited!
Just such a black thing could make Yun Zheng excited?
"Baby, this is definitely a baby!"
Yun Zheng suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "If we grow this thing well, it shouldn't be a problem to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu! If we do it well, it's probably not impossible to produce 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms!"
"What?"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the people around him all looked stunned.
One thousand kilograms per mu?
Maybe there are still two or three thousand kilograms?
This... is too exaggerated, right?
“Is this true?”
Qin Qihu stared blankly, almost unable to believe his ears.
"So, you have done a great job!"
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with burning eyes.
For him, the unexpected harvest of sweet potatoes was definitely more exciting than capturing tens of thousands of war horses.
This thing is grown by cuttings.
As long as it grows, we can greatly expand the planting area this year and carry out large-scale planting next year!
This can greatly alleviate the food crisis.
Moreover, it can also be used to make wine!
I believe Jiayao also knows this, which is why he hides here quietly to grow sweet potatoes.
"If that's the case, this thing is really a treasure!"
Even though Qin Qihu was a rough man, he knew the great value of this thing. In his excitement, Qin Qihu said again: "No, I have to keep an eye on it and have someone dig all these things out!"
"Um!"
Yun Zheng nodded repeatedly, "I'll go interrogate the people of this tribe to see if other tribes in Jiayao have grown this thing!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng also started to get busy.
If other tribes in Jiayao are also growing sweet potatoes, we must snatch them all away!
Although Shuobei is cold, it is not without warmth, so sweet potatoes can definitely be grown!
This thing can’t be kept for Jiayao!
If Jia Yao is given a few years to let Beihuan grow sweet potatoes in large quantities, Beihuan’s food shortage problem will be solved!
I will never give Jiayao this opportunity!
Soon, Yun Zheng came out after interrogation.
Only their tribe grows this crop, which they call potato.
It is still in the breeding stage, and the tribe has only planted less than ten acres of sweet potatoes.
Yun Zheng asked several people in succession and got the same answer.
After figuring out the situation, Yun Zheng felt relieved.
very good!
Just this one tribe!
Damn it, there’s no need to raid Jiayao’s tribe tomorrow!
We have to quickly take these sweet potatoes back and plant them!
As for breeding, I’d better help Jiayao do it myself!
Ha ha!
I’m afraid Jiayao is going to cry now!
Yun Zheng laughed in his heart...
