People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 82 Potato Ripe
In East City, when the restaurant of King Wei's Mansion opened, it instantly became the most eye-catching presence in Chang'an.

Especially after the first batch of people who have eaten come out.

This craze spread to the entire Chang'an city in an instant.

The taste that has never been seen in this world conquered everyone's taste buds almost instantly.

Among them, the delicious taste of pork is the most important.

And it was different from the pork they knew.

The pork in Prince Wei's Mansion was raised by eating grass and locusts, and the smell of mutton hardly existed. Instead, it had a delicious taste that beef and other meats had never had.

Many figures who heard the news originally had disbelief, how could the pig's food be enough forage, and even ran to the restaurant in person.

But when they saw the two extremely clean piglets and the forage the piglets ate, they couldn't help being surprised.

Also have to believe.

And the other side.

The event of Xishi donating piglets also completely aroused the enthusiasm of the people.

Hundreds of piglets were robbed on the first day.

The next day, one hundred heads were also sold out.

On the third day, the hundred heads were completely emptied without even being able to hold on for an hour.

People's enthusiasm for raising pigs is even higher than that of chickens and ducks.

pity.

Nowadays, there are not many piglets in Shaofu.

These [-] heads were all saved in the past few months.

If you want more, you will have to wait another three or four months, and many people are destined to be disappointed.

But for Li Ming, his goal has been reached.

The pork is completely on fire.

All of a sudden, in Chang'an, whether it was the lower class or the rich and powerful, all they talked about was pork.

The people at the bottom are talking about raising pigs.

The dignitaries are discussing the pork in the restaurant of King Wei's Mansion.

For a time, pork seemed to be showing signs of becoming a trend.

This naturally fulfilled Li Ming's expected goal.

Pork is completely popular, even without the impetus of Shaofu, the pig farming industry will inevitably rise.

As long as there is more meat, the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty will get better and better, and this is undoubtedly the improvement of national strength.

It's just that it takes time.

In this regard, Li Ming did not continue to focus on it.

After all, raising pigs is bound to be a long-term project.

It is basically impossible to completely spread in a short time.

Even if he projects all his thoughts, there may not be much change.

In contrast.

Other things are more important at this moment.

For example, potatoes at this time.

Months passed.

When the afterglow of summer is gradually coming to an end, autumn is about to arrive.

The ripening season for potatoes has also arrived.

The emerald green potato pages bring a dark color.

At this moment, everyone in Shaofu gathered.

The dozen or so people who were arranged by Li Ming to plant potatoes couldn't help holding their breath at this moment.

"Your Highness, you, do you think this can really produce more than a thousand catties per mu?"

Some people couldn't help but speak, and their voices were a little stuttering.

Yield per mu is ten thousand catties.

In this era, whether it is millet or wheat, the yield per mu is very difficult to reach [-] catties, and a thousand catties is almost an unimaginable value for them.

If it weren't for the words of King Wei who has always created miracles, these people would have been confused.

But even Li Ming, most people still couldn't believe it.

"Do not believe?"

"Just look at it!"

Seeing the tense and dark expression of the farmer in front of him, Li Ming's mouth was curved, and his words were full of confidence.

Although a catty in the Tang Dynasty was heavier than a catty in modern times, from Tang to Qing Dynasty, one catty was equivalent to 596.82 grams, and one tael was equal to 37.30 grams. Although one tael was only about two-thirds of the modern one tael, don’t forget In ancient times, it was 16 taels per catty, so a catty would naturally be heavier.

But this is an experimental species, and the yield per mu can reach [-] jin, or even [-] jin in the previous life.

Although more than 1000 years ago, there were no pesticides, fertilizers, and various modern equipment.

But it is not easy to produce a thousand catties per mu.

Regarding this, he was not panicked at all.

In contrast, Li Ming is more concerned about how much potatoes can be produced per mu with only soil and fertilizer.

Three thousand catties, five thousand catties, or even higher.

The higher the output, the greater the benefits to Datang.

If it is really possible to achieve a yield of more than [-] catties per mu, not much to say, it will not be too easy to double the national strength of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The importance of food and a country is not too great.

And in excitement and excitement.

Li Ming waved his hand.

More than a dozen people quickly stepped forward and started digging.

Li Ming doesn't have many potatoes, even if they are cut and planted, the planting area is only about forty square meters.

But when the first potato plant was pulled out, everyone's eyes widened involuntarily.

Some even gasped.

Because under the small potato seedlings, there are full of potatoes, each one is extremely huge, the largest one is even the size of an adult's face, and there are seven or eight under each plant.

A single string is already less than five or six kilograms.

And that seems to be just the beginning.

Because the second plant is bigger and more numerous.

The third strain.

The fourth strain.

When the potatoes were pulled out one by one, everyone couldn't help breathing heavily.

As they planted it by themselves and continued to water and fertilize it, they undoubtedly knew everything.

But precisely because they knew everything, they couldn't help being deeply shocked at this time.

According to what His Royal Highness King Wei said, this can replace millet as a staple food.

And this kind of existence, coupled with such a huge output, makes people feel scalp tingling.

Even if it hasn't weighed at this moment.

But at this moment, it seems that there is no need to scale.

Thousands of pounds.

No, it's probably thousands of catties.

Even a thought in everyone's mind couldn't help popping up.

And as soon as it appeared, I couldn't hold it back.

Even if it's that incredible.

But it's only [-] square meters of potatoes, and everyone has a vague feeling.

"Overweight!"

Li Ming was also a little excited at this time.

There was a vibrato in every opening of the words.

And in his voice.

Everyone began to act quickly.

Potatoes are weighed one by one.

And its weight was also recorded.

About half an hour or so.

The total weight came out.

But looking at the weight on the booklet in front of him, the Shaofu official who was in charge of recording only felt his throat was blocked, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't speak.

"How many?"

With some urgency, Li Ming couldn't help but speak.

"Four, four stones, one jun!"

Hearing Li Ming's eager inquiry, the Shaofu official spoke with a stuttering and trembling voice.

And his words made everyone present tremble again.

Thirty jin is a jun, and four jun is a stone.

Four stones and one jun is 510 catties.

And this is only the output of forty square meters.
