In 194 AD, there was a severe drought in Hebei. A 25-year-old master of agriculture woke up to find that he had become a village official in Beixiang, Pingyuan County. His name was Shen Miao. He was 20 years old and had only a bowl of 30 grains of corn at home.
He doesn't want to stand out, he just wants to eat and die.
But that year people in Beixiang died of starvation.
Shen Miao was forced to use the "modern agricultural techniques" in his mind - ear selection and breeding, hole sowing on demand, crop rotation and fallow - and planted twenty ears of old wheat in a one-third-acre experimental field.
Then he discovered that if he kept planting, he could no longer grow a small circle.
Chen Deng came to the door and entrusted Nan Zhong to him, saying, "I won't live long." Zhou Shouren came to the door and said, "You are violating our three-hundred-year right to interpret." Liu Bei came to the door and said, "Sir, would you like to help me?"
He wanted to escape, but the food wouldn't let him escape.
He wanted to hide it, but the output wouldn't let him.
He just wanted to eat and wait to die, but as he continued to plant, he completely destroyed the "old species" of this era-red mango wheat.
From the one-third-acre experimental field, to Pingyuan County, to Jizhou, to Jingzhou, to Yizhou, to Chengdu.
Shen Miao had never been an emperor, never killed a famous general, and never fought a tough battle in his life.
He is just a farmer.
But as he kept planting, he helped Liu Bei grow a country thousands of miles away.
