After crossing, hold the space in your hand and flee famine with the cubs

County Magistrate Lu said with an embarrassed smile: "Going back to the imperial envoy, I was too excited and lost my composure. I was overjoyed for a while, so please forgive me."

"Nian you are a first offender, so be more careful next time." The imperial envoy Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice. In fact, he made the same mistake as Lu Zhixian when digging sweet potatoes.

After digging out the sweet potatoes, there was less than a third of the potatoes left.

Start weighing on the land, take a large scale from the yamen to pay the grain tax.There is a small official in the yamen who is responsible for careful records and supervision to prevent repeated weighing.

After half an hour of weighing, the yield of sweet potatoes on one mu of land has reached 6800 catties.Rice is grown locally.The yield of rice per mu can reach 200 jin, which is already very high.But these sweet potatoes can reach 600 catties.Even if it shrinks ten times in the sun, it still weighs more than [-] catties!
The only deficiency can be hard to save, but a way around it can be found.Especially in the north, put it in the cellar and eat it in the coming year.

High yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes are right in front of them.They saw them being dug out of the ground.

This must be auspiciousness from heaven!
two at a time!
County magistrate Lu wept with joy.If high-yield sweet potatoes can be successfully promoted in the north, even if the yield is only half, more than 3000 catties per mu, it can feed a family.

This high-yield crop first appeared under his rule.The county magistrate Lu is willing to be a witness and present to the court together.He will also be rewarded.

Soon, all the potatoes in an acre of land were dug up.The number of potato piles is large, and the visual measurement is not lower than the yield per mu of sweet potatoes.

Lord Lu is very excited

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "I'll go back to the capital when the potato production is ready."

The next Yamen officials were also very excited.It is an honor for them to be part of such a grand event.Soon, the yield of potatoes per mu reached 5600 jin.

Everyone was shocked and delighted with the result.

Imperial envoy Zhang Zhao was also very happy.He took out 200 taels of silver on the spot and handed it to Shen Yunxi, "Mrs. Tian, ​​this is what the official promised just now. If the yield per mu reaches more than five thousand catties, everyone who comes to help will be rewarded with five taels of silver. Take it and distribute it to everyone. Take the rest as today's meal money."

Shen Yunxi did not refuse, but accepted it. "The women on behalf of the folks thank Mr. Zhang!"

Imperial envoy Zhang Zhao waved his hand, not wanting to be polite. "Mrs. Tian, ​​tell me how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes."

Shen Yunxi held the sweet potato, pointed to the place where there were flower buds on the sweet potato, and said: "Master Zhang, keep these places where there are flower buds, break them into several pieces, and bury them directly in the soil. It is best to make a vegetable bed, on the one hand, it is convenient to fertilize On the other hand, it is convenient for drainage and watering. The branches on the sweet potato seedlings can be pinched off and planted directly on the ground. The planting method of potatoes is similar to that of sweet potatoes, but the branches cannot be cut off, and the excess should be pinched off, so that the fruit in the ground can Grow bigger."

The imperial envoy wrote it down, and then said to County Magistrate Lu: "Magistrate Lu, the sweet potatoes from Mrs. Shen Yunxi's house and the sweet potatoes from the former Lihua Village, except for the seeds, were bought, properly preserved, and prepared to be shipped to the north as seeds."

County Magistrate Lu thought for a while and asked, "Master Zhang, how much is the sweet potato?"

Thinking of the huge impact of the popularization of this kind of seeds, imperial envoy Zhang Zhao thought for a while: "Let's pay five cents a catty." This is only the price for the first year.It will not be so expensive in the future. "

Five cents a catty is not as expensive as thirty cents a catty for tomatoes and peppers, but the yield per mu is large and the purchase price is too expensive. The court needs to spend too much money and the pressure is too great.
