I, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty succubus

More than a hundred people sang in unison.

Liu Ji was confused. What was he doing blocking his tent for no reason this early in the morning? He looked at Li Sisi behind him. This woman was very perceptive. Normally, nothing could escape her eyes.

But this time, she also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

"Everyone, get up." Liu Ji said, "What are you doing here?"

No one stood up, everyone knelt on the ground.

Zhang Yan stepped forward and said, "Daozu, I heard that you are leaving..."

shock!

Liu Ji was stunned.

He didn't tell anyone, so how did these people know?

"We beg you, don't go!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

"The Heaven is dead, and the Dao Ancestor is born!"

Huo Manman also came up and whispered, "Liu Ji, we can't leave you right now. If you leave, we might lose the battle right after."

Hey...

This is also a threat.

He had to leave of course. Liu Ji had so many things to do and so many women to take care of. He couldn't stay here forever.

Too...

It's time to say goodbye.

He simply sat on the ground and said with a smile, "I'm just leaving temporarily, it's not like I'll never come back."

Huo Manman glared and said, "If you leave, we will be wiped out."

Liu Ji ignored her...

Zhang Yan knew that he couldn't stop them, so he said in a daze, "What should we do if you leave? We only have 2,000 people here, and we will be gone if there is even a little disturbance."

Everyone knew that Zhang Yan was telling the truth.

A mere two thousand people are really too few. On this battlefield, they can be wiped out in an instant without even causing a wave. What's more... these two thousand people are all soldiers, and a considerable number of them are old, weak, sick and disabled and cannot participate in the war at all.

Liu Ji can leave, but he must formulate a strategy for these people, otherwise... they will only slowly die out.

He smiled softly and said, "Go and call Zhang Ping'er."

Not long after... Zhang Ping'er arrived. She had never expected that so many people would gather here so early in the morning. Her face flushed, and she tried to say, "Liu Ji, I was wrong yesterday... but you shouldn't have to..."

Zhang Ping'er threatened and bribed Liu Ji yesterday...

Even took off all the clothes.

As a result, Liu Ji didn't even look at her and just told her to get out. She was so embarrassed.

Then, the next day...the man gathered everyone and waited here.

What do you think Zhang Ping'er thinks?

Seeing everyone's faces full of surprise, Zhang Ping'er immediately realized that she had guessed wrong and quickly knelt down beside Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan, Huo Manman... stared at him intently. "What bad things did you do last night?"

Damn, I've been discovered.

"Everyone, please stand up...it's not comfortable for you to kneel all the time."

No one else moved, except Huo Manman, who stood up and got ready. Once she took the lead, everyone else followed.

"I am leaving, but I will not give up on you...I will plan a bright path for you." Liu Ji smiled.

Everyone knew that he was about to make his final statement, and they all watched with bated breath.

Liu Ji waved his hand back, and Li Sisi handed over an ear of wheat. Liu Ji smiled and said, "Do you think this thing is good?"

Everyone here is a refugee, and everyone has worked as a farmer. How could you not know the quality of wheat ears?

When he saw what Liu Ji had in his hand, he immediately exclaimed, "Rare!"

“This thing is so good.”

"You may find only one ear like this in a hundred acres of land."

Liu Ji nodded, "Indeed, he looks good."

But what does this have to do with you leaving? Everyone looked confused.

Then Liu Ji said, "What if... all the fields can grow this kind of wheat ears?"

Everyone was shocked...

The wheat ears are at least three or four times bigger than normal, which means... the yield per acre has tripled or quadrupled? One acre of land produces three or four stone of grain?

That would be a big deal.

Liu Ji pointed at a middle-aged man, who stood up and said, "If everyone really looked like this, where would there be refugees?"

Another person stood up and said, "In the mountainous area where I used to live, the land could not even grow half a stone of grain, let alone one stone of grain. With that little grain... people starved to death every day. If everything really grew like this... I dare not even think about it."

Everyone stared at the wheat ears with longing.

They have actually seen quite a few of these things. As they plant more of them, they will always come across one or two mutated ones... but there are only one or two of them. Apart from looking at them, they have no other use at all.

"Liu Ji, why are you trying to deceive them with this thing? Everyone knows that this thing cannot be grown." Zhang Ping'er had just been humiliated, and now seeing the opportunity, she wanted to get it back immediately.

But Liu Ji smiled and said, "What if I say, I can! I can make all the fields grow this kind of food?"

Everyone was shocked.

To them, this was even more terrifying than using 500 people to defeat 1,500.

Volume 156: Technology

"Not only can it grow like this...it can even grow like this!"

As Liu Ji spoke...he took out another ear of wheat. This ear of wheat...was ten times bigger than the ones they usually saw. They had never seen anything like it before.

All of the people present were refugees, and had worked on the land. Who didn't know the value of this thing? They stared at the exaggerated ears of wheat with longing on their faces.

"Daozu, where did you get this thing?"

Someone asked in a panic.

Liu Ji slowly uttered two words: "Technology!"

Technology?

Everyone looked confused.

What is technology?

"Technology is the technology that can make wheat ears grow like this. It's not just one or two ears, but it can grow in all the fields. This is called technology!"

Everyone was shocked by the ten times more wheat ears...and their faces were filled with longing.

"What should we do?" someone asked as a matter of course.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "We need to breed seeds, apply fertilizers, and kill insects!"

Everyone here understands these principles and has put them into practice...but no one has ever grown ten times as many ears of wheat.

Liu Ji then said, "You all save the good wheat from the previous year as seeds for the next year. But is it true that some people can grow it and some cannot?"

Everyone nodded. Isn't this natural?

"What if we invite those who can grow the crops here and let them select a batch of good seeds to plant, and then continue planting batches one after another..."

Everyone looked horrified.

Yes, they all farm and they all breed, but no one has ever taken this as a professional career.

If there really is someone who specializes in doing this, then there is no doubt that the seeds will get better and better, and that kind of wheat ears will really appear on all the land.

"Similarly, if people who are good at applying fertilizers are asked to study fertilizers... and people who are good at killing insects are asked to study killing insects..."

Everyone was stunned.

A very simple answer emerges. If this is really done, the final result will not be as simple as three or four times the output.

If food could really be produced that much...

Where are the refugees?

Just when everyone was lost in fantasy, Zhang Ping'er suddenly snorted, "What's the use of having more production? There will still be refugees! There will still be people starving to death!"

Everyone was stunned...

Zhang Ping'er is from an aristocratic family, so it's really exciting for her to say such things. Who here hasn't had their food robbed by an aristocratic family?

Liu Ji nodded and said, "You are right... Let alone growing three times the amount of food, even if we grow ten times the amount of food, there will still be refugees and people will still starve to death!"

Zhang Ping'er sneered.

The others also looked unhappy.

However, Liu Ji continued, "But, if we grow one times the amount of food, ten people will starve to death, if we grow three times the amount of food, seven people will starve to death, but if we grow ten times the amount of food, only three people will starve to death! The more food we grow, the fewer people will starve to death."

"Zhang Ping'er, didn't you ask me...how to solve that problem? This is the answer. The land won't increase, but the population is growing. Only by continuously increasing production can this problem be solved. This certainly won't make everyone full, but the number of people who are full will slowly increase, and the number of people who starve to death will slowly decrease!"

Zhang Ping'er was stunned...

Others laughed too.

That's true... no matter what you do or where you go, people will starve to death, but the problem is... the more you produce, the fewer people will starve to death.

This principle is very common.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Ping'er asked blankly.

"science and technology!"

“How should technology be used?”
