Chapter 798: Promote high-yielding grains
After Qin Hao's "Ming Zhu" selection, the ten team leaders except himself were finally selected. They are: Qin Jian, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Tao Qian, Han Fu, Liu Yao, Gongsun Zan.
Only Qin Hao and Yuan Shu had no changes in the organization of their troops, and other groups were more or less joined by other princes.
As for the leaders of the two cavalry groups, they are: Qin Jian and Liu Yu.
Through this arrangement, Qin Hao only needs to give orders to the leaders of each group, so that he can command the coalition forces to the greatest extent and integrate the coalition forces in the shortest time. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, the most important thing for Qin Hao is that he has relatively firm control over the military. After all, most of the ten team leaders are facing Qin Hao.
Through the two methods of organizing the army and selecting team leaders, Qin Hao fully spread the majesty of his alliance leader. All the major princes were in awe of Qin Hao, a leader who was young but had surprisingly tough methods.
The best way to control his subordinates is actually to use both kindness and force. Qin Hao has already used the method of intimidation, and the next step is to show kindness.
Qin Hao's gift to all the princes is something that no prince can refuse, that is, the high-yielding grain seeds in his hands.
In troubled times, having food can recruit troops and buy horses, and having food can appease the people. Having food is equivalent to having everything. Who can refuse such a temptation?
Yuan Shu and a few other princes actually knew that Qin Hao had high-yielding grain seeds, and had obtained some of them through secret means, but they were unable to promote them in a short period of time.
Most of the princes did not know the existence of high-yielding grain seeds. When they learned that there were high-yielding grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in the world, everyone was stunned and had serious doubts about the existence of high-yielding grains.
It is inevitable to have doubts. After all, even farmers would find it difficult to accept this sudden change, let alone these princes.
After a brief period of doubt, everyone believed in the authenticity of the new crops. After all, as the leader of the alliance, Qin Hao had no need to lie to them.
No prince has escaped the food crisis. Even under Qin Wen, some people still starved to death, but only very few died of starvation.
Countless people in the Han Dynasty starved to death every day, and countless people had to eat one meal every day. However, after the advent of high-yielding grains, the situation of the people will be much better.
After confirming the true news of high-yield grain, all the princes were overjoyed, and what made them even happier was yet to come.
It was their great alliance leader Qin Hao who actually gave them some seeds.
Comparing their hearts, the princes are thinking that if they have this kind of life-saving food, will they share it with others?
No, absolutely not.
I will definitely secretly cultivate, the gap between the extension and the other princes, and it will not be promoted until the end of the world.
It is normal for everyone to have selfish desires, but Qin Hao took them out directly without any hesitation, which made almost all the princes admire Qin Hao.
In fact, the number of seeds obtained by the princes was not large, but it was already very rare for Qin Hao to selflessly take out the seeds. What qualifications did they have to ask for anything else?
Previously, due to their age, many among the princes were still dissatisfied with Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance, and they were also the biggest hidden danger in this discussion of the Dong alliance.
But after Qin Hao distributed the seeds to everyone, no princes disobeyed Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance. All the princes admired Qin Hao from the bottom of their hearts.
At this point, Qin Hao's position as leader of the alliance is completely solid, and before capturing Luoyang, all the princes will listen to Qin Hao's words.
The matter of grain distribution brought Qin Hao's prestige among the coalition forces to almost its peak. Everyone was very happy with the result, except Qin Jian.
Qin Jian did not want the princes to get high-yield grain, because this would shorten the strength gap between other princes and the Qin and Jin armies. He wished that these seeds would only be in the hands of the Qin family forever.
Qin Hao patiently gave him a reasonable explanation for Qin Jian's short-sighted view. After becoming the leader of the alliance, Qin Hao had already made a decision before he came to Jujube to distribute high-yield grain seeds to other princes.
That is because the confidentiality of things like seeds is too poor, and it is impossible to keep them in your hands all the time.
So instead of waiting for other princes to steal it, it is better to take it out generously. This will make it easier for Qin Hao to control the coalition of princes and use the power of the coalition to expand his territory.
Of course, there are two deeper purposes that Qin Hao did not mention.
First, Qin Hao hopes to stop the trend of population decline across the country by promoting high-yielding grains;
Second, the promotion of high-yielding new grains is a great meritorious deed that can bring countless people alive, and can raise Qin Hao's reputation to a higher level.
When people all over the world know about the grain distribution, they will definitely thank Qin Hao for bringing them high-yield grain. In this way, if Qin Hao usurps the Han Dynasty and establishes himself in the future, the people will be more likely to accept Qin Hao's dynasty.
However, these all take time to ferment. After all, when the princes fully promote it, it will take at least three or four years to cultivate the seeds, and this period is the golden period for Qin Hao to expand his power. For this, he also has two Target.
One, we must consolidate the two states within one year.
If this goal is achieved, whether it is to move westward or northward, it will all be within Qin Hao's mind.
Second, whether it is to move westward to occupy Guanxi or to move northward to unify Hebei, it must be completed before the princes promote high-yield grain.
Because once the princes successfully promoted high-yield grain, the strength of their subordinates would be greatly increased. If Qin Hao failed to complete the second goal, the difficulty of unifying the world would be greatly increased.

Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat, looking at the documents in front of him with an extremely gloomy expression, and placed on it were the high-yield grain seeds sent by Qin Hao.
Qin Hao not only distributed seeds to the coalition princes, but also gave some to other princes who did not come to join the alliance, and even Dong Zhuo, and the noise was particularly loud, so that the credit would be completely attributed to Qin Hao.
“The son of Qin Hao actually distributed seeds to the princes of the world. In this way, as long as the people have new food in the future, they will definitely think of Qin Hao’s good deeds.”
Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of coldness and he said coldly: "What a good calculation and a good means."
Li Ru stood up at this time and said solemnly: "My lord, Qin Hao's reputation has reached the sky because of the matter of dividing the seeds. Under his leadership, the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes will no longer be scattered."
Dong Zhuo has never underestimated Qin Hao, but he still underestimated Qin Hao's ability to get things done.
He now regrets that he did not attack Qin Hao directly, but was preparing to integrate the power of Kansai. However, during this period, Qin Hao took the lead and directly summoned the princes of the world to form an alliance to attack him.
Dong Zhuo's intestines were really full of regret.
There have been a lot of things at work lately, and I don’t have time to type while at work. I still have a lot of things to deal with when I get back from get off work. I really don’t know when these days will end. Maybe I should consider quitting my job and writing novels full-time.
