Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 538 538. See high-yielding grain again

A table of delicious food successfully made everyone become loyal fans of potatoes.

After the meal, all the guests sat down in their seats and rubbed their bellies. Even the little girls let go of their airs of being ladies, except for the Shen family members who sat upright.

"I have decided that I will eat potatoes every meal from now on!"

"The Wu'an Marquisate only allocated two acres of potato planting, right?"

"Forehead"

Qu Shaojing was speechless for a moment, "Isn't it really not enough?"

A maximum of seven or eight thousand kilograms of potatoes can be harvested from two acres of land. Since the Marquis of Wu'an has many industries, there will naturally be many villages. After excluding the reserved seeds, there is not much left.

"Alas~ If you want to eat delicious food without any worries, you have to wait a little longer."

I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until the second season at the end of the year.

But hey hey hey!
Qu Shaojing secretly thought about how to smuggle in some potatoes to cook in his farm, his expression gradually changed.

Shen Xingluo, who was sitting opposite him, twitched his lips when he saw this, and couldn't bear to look away.

Farmers in the suburbs of Beijing are harvesting in full swing. Shenjia Village, thousands of miles away, is also immersed in the joy of harvest. The difference is that they are harvesting corn.

Lin'an Prefecture is located in the central region of Dayan. Although it has four seasons, they are not as distinct as the capital. The temperature is also warmer than in the north, so crops mature earlier.

"Has Qingsong gone to the village?"

"Uncle Mantun, don't worry, that kid left early in the morning."

The strong man standing on the ground smiled boldly, and the sound was so loud that it seemed to spread throughout Shenjia Village.

"He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he learned that the corn harvest was going to be harvested today. He ran to greet the prefect without eating breakfast."

"Didn't you stay up all night?"

Shen Mancun sat on a lump of earth and glanced at the young man angrily. Although his tone was disgusting, he could not hide the pride that was about to overflow.

He was also so excited that he stayed up all night!
In fact, Shenjia Village had been too excited and lacked sleep in the past few days, causing most people to appear in the field with dark circles under their eyes.

"Come on, come on, Qingsong is here with Mr. Xie and the others!"

After shouting loudly, the villagers looked towards the official road at the head of the village, and saw several tall horses dragging people towards this direction, followed by a tall green pine tree, and the speed was not slow at all. .

As soon as Xie Wenbin and a group of Lin'an government officials and government servants got off their horses, everyone in Shenjia Village enthusiastically knelt down and worshiped them.

"Greetings to the prefect."

"Shen Lizheng, please get up quickly, there is no need for these false courtesy."

He subconsciously looked at the withered yellow cornfield. The stalks were taller than him. They were densely packed with thin stalks, except for a thick thing growing in the middle.

"I guess this is the fruit, right?"

"Yes, one plant can bear one fruit."

Shen Mantun waved his hand behind him, and the young man stepped forward and broke off a corn, peeling off the outer skin in a few seconds to reveal the yellow-orange particles.

"My lords, please see, this is corn. The tender ones can be boiled and eaten directly, or the particles can be peeled off and ground into powder to make a staple food similar to steamed buns. It tastes delicious!"

"Great, great, this Shennong Mountain is truly a treasure mountain."

Xie Wenbin and others looked at the people in Shenjia Village with fiery eyes, "You have discovered another kind of food, which is another great achievement!"

I don’t know if this Shenjia Village is blessed by ancestors or something else, but why are crops that have never appeared again and again discovered? It’s like being protected by a god!
Even officials like them have achieved political achievements!
Oops, it’s not a good feeling to feel like you’ve got a great achievement and you’re rushing to give it to me without any effort~
"It's not too early now, Shen Lizheng, let's start harvesting?"

Let them see with their own eyes how much this thing called corn can produce per acre. "Yes, accept it now."

Shen Mantun was already a mature head of the village. With one wave of his hand, someone went to the ground to break the corn. Upon seeing this, the government servants brought by Xie Wenbin also stepped forward to help, and the field was in full swing for a while.

The good farmers went to work in the fields, and the virtuous housewives in the village were not idle either, and soon delivered several meals.

Xie Wenbin and other officials laughed from ear to ear after eating the boiled corn and tortillas specially saved a few days ago, and when the sun went down and everyone weighed the harvested corn, they danced happily.

Write an excerpt, write an excerpt now!
At the same time, Su Zhan from the Shen Family Ancestral Hall wrote a letter and delivered it to the capital in a special way.

***
The capital was very lively for a while because of the potato harvest.

Officials who received the seeds years ago have successively reported the yields of their own villages. Although there are many, most of them are around 3,500 kilograms.

This made the Holy Emperor very happy, and at the same time, the people of the capital witnessed this blessing.

After King Pan, headed by the King of Qi, saw the high yield of potatoes with his own eyes, he wrote to the Holy Spirit and asked the Holy Father to send seeds to the fiefdom so that the people of the world could eat.

The originally high-yield potatoes were now in short supply, so the court officials once again fell into a debate on "how to divide this year's potato seeds."

At this moment, the documents from Lin'an Mansion were sent to the emperor's desk.

"Corn? A yield of 800 kilograms per mu? Is this another staple food that can satisfy your hunger?!"

Not surprisingly, the discovery of corn once again caused an uproar.

Although the yield per mu of 800 kilograms is a bit tragic compared to 3500 kilograms, such a yield is extremely high for Dayan. Corn is drought-resistant and can be grown anywhere. Its taste and preparation are also superior to potatoes.

But how the corn tastes exactly remains to be known by trying it.
The current emperor was thoughtful after reading Xie Wenbin's excerpts repeatedly.

"Someone is coming."

"The slave is here."

"Xuanhanlin Academy Editor Shen Xingluo enters the palace."

"Yes."

A eunuch holding a fly whisk quickly arrived at the Hanlin Academy with an oral instruction. Shen Xingluo straightened his official uniform and entered the palace with everyone's eyes looking at him with different expressions.

Qin Zheng rubbed his elbow against Yu Heting, "Hey, what do you think the emperor did when he saw Xing Luo?"

"How can you and I guess the emperor's will?"

"Hey, don't I treat you as one of my own, tell me?"

"I guess it's about potatoes."

Yu Heting thought because of these words, "Brother Qin knows why you need to ask me?"

"I always feel it's not that simple."

Qin Zheng touched his chin thoughtfully.

Although he doesn't like officialdom and is a bit indifferent on weekdays, he still has the sensitivity that comes from a big family.

Now that the potato output has been confirmed, and last year the emperor also praised Shen Xingluo and gave a reward to Shenjia Village, it stands to reason that this matter should have been exposed.

Qin Zheng's doubts were cleared that night. As soon as he returned to Qin Mansion, he learned from his grandfather what had happened recently in Lin'an Mansion.

"What? Another high-yielding grain was discovered?!"

He was stunned when he saw the letter sent by his father, and then he began to think deeply, going through the scene of the potato harvest in his mind.

Wait, he seemed to remember something.
