Chapter 765: Passing through Xiliang

And when Ma Teng saw the harvest in the fields of the people in the six counties of Jiangdong, he was directly dumbfounded, and he was simply salivating.

Ma Teng saw the mountains of sweet potatoes that had just been harvested in the farmer's field, and preliminarily estimated that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu of this acre was at least 1,000 catties, maybe 15,600 catties!

It wasn't the first time Ma Teng had seen sweet potatoes, and he had even eaten them a long time ago.

But this is the first time I have seen the scene of harvesting sweet potatoes with my own eyes.

No wonder Dahua is so rich and has so much food.

The yield per mu of grain is so high, and it is strange that Dahua is still not rich.

Seeing this, Ma Teng was a little red-eyed.

It's better to be inland, they just need to farm with peace of mind, and ensure the harvest in drought and flood.

They are like nomads, who have no fixed place to live, and when there is not enough water and grass, they will migrate.

And, as soon as the grass dries up on a large scale, their disaster comes.

It is not uncommon for entire clans to be wiped out like this.

Therefore, in the steppes, because they were brought up on horseback from an early age, they were skilled in archery, and their cavalry was very strong.

However, in the grassland, no matter how powerful and powerful the tribe is, it is possible that it will decline or even die out at any time because of the problem of pasture.

Because of the limitations of their living environment, they are unlikely to have long-term stability.

It would be great if they could grow these crops on the grasslands!

When the time comes, they will no longer have to move at any time and rely on pasture for food.

This thought arose in Ma Teng's heart, and soon took root and sprouted, quickly growing into a towering tree.

Right!

Their relationship with Dahua is very good.

If he begged the emperor of the Great Hua Kingdom, maybe he would really agree?

Anyway, even if the Emperor of Dahua didn't agree to their request, they wouldn't have anything to lose, would they?

As soon as he thought of this, Ma Teng could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart.

Finally, they came to their destination, the city of Nanjing.

Along the way, they were constantly shocked by the prosperity of Dahuaguo, and they were almost shocked to the point of numbness.

However, when they entered the city of Nanjing, they were shocked by the luxury of the city again.

When they entered the city of Nanjing, it was already dark.

In front of them, there is a city that never sleeps with brilliant lights.

It was a scene they had never seen before.

If life is only as it is when they first see it, this poem may be able to describe their mood at this time.

For example, these three words can not only describe men and women, but can also be used to people's mood when they see beautiful scenery.

This, this-

Ma Teng and his entourage were deeply shocked by the spectacular and magnificent scenery in front of them, and they began to understand a little in their hearts why Ma Chao didn't want to go back.

Anyone who has lived in such a bustling city for a few years will probably not want to return to the grassland.

Holding back the shock in his heart, Ma Teng and his party led the horses and walked on the bustling streets.

They found that the streets of Nanjing City at night were even more lively than other towns during the day.

Finally, they came to Taibai Restaurant, an extremely luxurious restaurant, to stay at it.

If the street lamps on the street outside are not so shocking to their senses.

Then, when they entered the restaurant, they found that the inside of the restaurant was as bright as day under the light bulb.

The shock in my heart couldn't help but raise it to a level again.

When they ordered, they found that the consumption here is really high, and every dish is expensive.

Even the most ordinary vinegared cabbage costs five hundred dollars.

One or two pieces of silver can buy a sheep.

They worked hard to raise a sheep, and here, they can only exchange it for a plate of vinegared cabbage.

As for the price of other dishes, it is even more ridiculously expensive.

Well, Ma Teng is not a person who has never seen the world.

But in the face of such a luxurious restaurant, Ma Teng still secretly smacked his tongue.

But fortunately, Ma Teng is a rich man, and he carries a few thousand taels of silver tickets with him, so he naturally will not treat himself badly.

Soon, Ma Teng ordered a table of dishes.

After these dishes came up, Ma Teng tasted every dish, and his tears were about to fall.

It's so delicious to cry!

At the moment, the group gobbled up, and the last cup and plate they ate were messy.

Not to mention the leftovers, there is not even vegetable soup left, and the plate is almost gnawed.

After eating, the group entered the guest room satisfied.

After seeing the luxurious furnishings in the guest room, taking a hot shower comfortably, and then lying on the soft and fragrant guest room, Ma Teng and the others felt that the first half of their lives were simply in vain.

At this time, they finally understood that Ma Chao would not want to go back.

Compared with the conditions here in Nanjing, the outside of the plug full of wind and sand, the dark yurt, one is in the sky and the other is underground!

After Ma Teng lived in the restaurant, his mind was much more active.

The purpose of this trip was originally to bring Ma Chao back.

But now, Ma Teng is no longer in such a hurry to bring Ma Teng back.

Because Ma Teng found that he was fifty years behind in Xiliang and Dahuaguo!

Dahua is so rich, how can they compete with Dahua with their mere western cool land?

Perhaps, it is also a good choice to leave Chao'er here.

Chao'er stayed here, not only as a contact, but also to learn a lot of things in Dahua.

And, if something happens to me in the future, Chao'er stays here and can also spread the branches for my Ma family.

……

On the second day, Ma Teng's team was ceremoniously received by Dahuaguo.

Lu Bu attached great importance to Ma Teng, led his ministers, and held a banquet to entertain Ma Teng.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ma Teng got up and put forward his request to Lu Bu nervously.

"Your Majesty, the ministers plead, the ministers plead, the ministers plead, the ......"

Ma Teng mustered up his courage, but when the matter came, he was speechless.

This matter is really unspeakable, Ma Teng suffers from gains and losses, and is in a dilemma for a while.

Lu Bu smiled and said to Ma Teng: "I don't know what to say about the history of Spurs?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, so why bother with it? ”

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Ma Teng couldn't help but say in his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister implores Dahua to fund us to reclaim farmland and teach us the method of farming. ”

In Ma Teng's opinion, his request was excessive.

After all, no matter how good their relationship is, it won't be so good.

Nomads and inland dynasties, always in a state of hostility.

Nomads are already terrible if they don't cultivate farmland, and if they learn to cultivate farmland and cultivate crops, wouldn't it be even more powerful?

In the eyes of these inland dynasties, they were barbarians, aliens.

Isn't it an enemy to teach them how to farm?

In the face of such a request in his house, will Emperor Dahua really agree?
