Chapter 39
After squatting on horseback for half an hour, I plucked flowers under the sun for another hour.

Let alone Hu Hai in this matter, even Fusu, who has always been as gentle as jade, has turned pale.

Thanks to these pampered young masters, they persisted.

Liu Bai's sentence, "Today's lesson ends here", brought everyone from hell to heaven in an instant.

All of them were ashen-faced, sweating profusely, and their legs were dangling, and they were carried back to the mansion by the servants.

Lying on the bed, limp like a puddle of mud.

Even Hu Hai, who had some complaints about Liu Bai, couldn't even hear a hum now.

During the comfortable massage by the servant, he gradually fell into a lethargic sleep.

In the Ningxiang Palace, Liu Bai also began to perform his duties as a technician.

Gently gather, slowly twist, wipe and pick again...

All in all, the technique is good, and it should be rated as a gold medal technician in modern times.

His hands are still on his hands, and his mouth is still rambling.

"Ma'am, I'm back for my husband, I'm really tired today!"

After so many days, Ying Yinman has become used to Liu Bai giving him massages, and even if she occasionally eats some tofu during the period, she regards it as the fun between husband and wife.

It's a pity that I can't truly feel his existence in the end...

Seeing Liu Bai coming, he was overjoyed.

Suddenly hearing that my husband was exhausted, I felt desolate for a moment, secretly hating my useless body.

Even if only his hands can move, it would be good to help him massage his body to relieve fatigue!

Liu Bai naturally didn't know about her little wife, because he had already thought so much about it.

"Hey, it's really tiring after half an hour of class, and then supervise your pampered brothers, and do an hour's work..."

"Let me tell you, their health is really bad, they have only squatted for half an hour, and they are all limp like worms, not even a trace of our father's dragon spirit.

"Look at the way they work. I'm afraid they will frighten the flowers and plants in the imperial garden if they are so energetic. The work that can be completed in half an hour has been done for an hour, and it also made me sit there for a long time. Half an hour later, even the time to see his wife was postponed.

"Oh, I will have to teach you more in the future as a teacher..."

After understanding the meaning of his words, Ying Yinman was a little dumbfounded.

His husband is also too detached, obviously his brothers were punished, but instead he said that he was tired.

He pursed his lips and smiled, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

It is unforgivable that my husband came back half an hour late because of my brothers' laziness.

"Do you remember what I told you last time that the yield per mu is [-] catties? Wait for the brothers to plow the land in the next two days, and then the seeds will be sown!"

"Madam, after you wake up, I'll take you to see it..."

While talking, Liu Bai gradually fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed, and he didn't even hear the system's voice prompting the increase in intimacy.

Listening to the birdsong outside the window and feeling the warmth of her hands, Ying Yinman suddenly felt that such an ordinary day is so good!

……

In the next few days, you young masters suffered a great crime.

Originally, they could go home after one hour of class in the morning, but in view of their poor physical strength, they added another half hour of horse stance.

Let’s not talk about it, the problem is that after the horse stance is practiced, it is necessary to plow the ground. How can this be done by humans?

Bah, bah, bah, you can't say that, or you'll be beaten up by your husband!
After all, Mr. was a farmer before, isn't this just saying that he is not human in disguise?
And Liu Bai naturally has his considerations.

It's nearly April now, and if we don't hurry up, the season for planting potatoes will be over.

After five days, the land was plowed, and the next step was to sow the seeds.

Looking at the piles of potatoes like hills, the young masters were confused.

Steady Fusu bowed to Liu Bai.

"Sir, may I ask what this is?"

Liu Bai chuckled, picked up a potato and asked Fusu to look carefully.

"See clearly, this is the hope I said before!"

hope?

After thinking about it carefully, Fusu understood that this should be what they wanted to plant.

"My Daqin has six main crops: Wo (millet, millet), wheat (wheat), millet (big yellow rice), rice (rice), a (small bean), and bean (soybean). I've never seen it before, so I don't know what it is?"

Fusu secretly smiled inwardly, of course you haven't seen it before, it was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty!
"The name of this thing is potatoes. It is drought-resistant and high-yield. If you want the common people to eat twice a day, you can rely on it!"

Liu Bai said this confidently, but the listeners didn't take it seriously.

Let the people have two meals a day?Do you know how much food that would take?
Father and emperor can't do it now that he widely promotes farming, but you can do it with something like a lump of dirt?
But he used to be a farmer, could it really be done?

"Sir, if the people are to have two meals a day, the food production must be at least double what it is now. Could it be that these potatoes can produce [-] catties per mu?"

Nowadays, the grain output of Qin State is generally around [-] to [-] catties.

Of course, this is based on Qin's measurement.

Converted into modern terms, a catty in the Qin Dynasty is roughly equivalent to half a catty today.

After pinching his fingers and counting for a long time, Liu Bai said a number conservatively.

"Be bold, maybe it can produce a thousand catties per mu?"

"A thousand catties?"

All the princes exclaimed.

Emotionally, they believed what the husband said.

But intellectually, Qianjin?How can this be?

Since ancient times, what kind of thing can produce a thousand catties per mu?
No, never.

Fusu also felt that this was impossible, so he tried to persuade him.

"Sir, don't joke!"

Liu Bai walked forward with a grin, and handed out a potato each.

"Are you joking that you won't know until he grows? Come, I'll teach you how to sow seeds."

That's right, besides waiting for him to grow out, there seems to be no other way to verify Mr.'s statement.

All the sons followed up one after another, planting potatoes like Liu Bai.

Only Hu Hai stood there in a daze.

A thousand catties per mu?It's a big joke.

Even if he is ignorant, he knows that this is absolutely impossible.

Liu Bai, oh Liu Bai, I finally got caught.

If this matter is reported to the emperor, if so many things are not produced by then, can he be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor?
Does this also mean that he will no longer be our teacher.

Hahaha, my old Hu is finally going to be free!

"Young Master Eighteen, you are smiling sinisterly, are you thinking about how to deal with me?"

When Hu Hai was excited, Liu Bai's laughing voice came from behind his ears.

With a shock, Hu Hai softened instantly.

"No, no... I'm just, just a little tired, standing here to rest!"

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Bai asked with a smile.

"Really? Then, my lord, have you rested now?"

Swallowing, Hu Hai smiled extremely obsequiously.

"Okay, okay, Hai is going to sow seeds now."

After finishing speaking, he quickly ran into the crowd, only then did he feel the warmth of the sun.
