Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 153 What secret recipe does the emperor want? This sweet potato is so fragrant (3 Happy New Year)
  As soon as he gave the order, the people in Zhuangzi began to take action.

It didn't take long to dig out a lot of sweet potatoes from the ground, then put the sweet potatoes into bags and carried them in front of Jia Qi and his party.

At first, His Majesty the Emperor and King Zhongshun thought this was what was needed for the secret recipe.

But as there were more and more sweet potatoes, the two finally realized something was wrong.

No matter what the secret recipe is, it requires precious medicinal materials, but these sweet potatoes don't look precious.

What is in front of them now weighs at least a thousand kilograms, right?

This thing has absolutely nothing to do with the secret recipe.

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help it any longer. He glanced at King Zhongshun, who immediately spoke.

"Boy Jia Qi, is there any connection between your so-called sweet potato and what you want to put into the line?"

Jia Qi smiled when he saw the two people focusing on him.

He lowered his head and picked up a sweet potato, then asked someone to bring him a basin of water to clean the sweet potato.

Finally, he peeled the sweet potato with a knife and cut it into more than ten pieces. The next moment, he ate it in one bite while everyone looked at him in confusion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this thing called sweet potato was accidentally discovered by Wei Chen in ancient books."

"Legend has it that this thing spread to the far west, and it was also called sweet potato. After it came to our Great Zhou Empire, no one paid attention to it. There is only this piece of land around the capital where sweet potatoes are grown."

"And the reason why the sweet potatoes are grown here is because the original owner of this land could not afford the seeds, so he planted the sweet potatoes he found among the discarded items of a passing vendor."

"Speaking of which, this man didn't know the functions of sweet potatoes. He just thought they were edible, so he planted them. My wife bought all his sweet potatoes yesterday."

"I tried to dig some yesterday and determined that the yield of this thing is very high, but I am not sure how much it is."

“But what is certain is that the yield per mu should be at least 2000 kilograms.”

"And this thing tastes pretty good. It can be eaten raw, burned, cooked, or even ground into powder, etc."

"Your Majesty, Prince, do you think I can satisfy you if I enter this sweet potato?"

In fact, before Jia Qi finished speaking, the two of them had already reacted.

An edible food.

A kind of edible food that can produce more than 2000 kilograms per mu.

If such a thing really existed, it would definitely be something that could subvert the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If you can discover such food while you are in power, you will definitely leave your name in history.

His Majesty the Emperor had already reacted at this moment.

What Jia Qi said about leaving a mark in the history of history turned out not to be the secret recipe, but a real mark.

And this sum is very important.

You know, before this, the grain output in Dazhou was only two to three hundred kilograms per mu at most.

But now he has in front of him grain with a minimum yield of 2000 kilograms per mu.

If this kind of food were extended to the entire Great Zhou Empire, would anyone in the Great Zhou Empire still go hungry?

The people of the entire Zhou Dynasty will benefit from this.

He will also create a new prosperous age as a result.

This huge honor almost overwhelmed His Majesty the Emperor in an instant.

Even King Zhongshun was not much better.

The first time such a good thing appeared was under his witness. When future historians record it, his name will definitely be included among the discoverers of sweet potatoes.

He will also take this opportunity to leave his name in history.

Just thinking about it made him excited.

He even couldn't help but step forward and pick up a piece of sweet potato, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

After eating, he said with a look of enjoyment. "It's delicious. It's very delicious. It tastes sweet. It can really produce 2000 kilograms per mu. Our Great Zhou Empire will be even more glorious."

And just as he was sighing with emotion, His Majesty the Emperor had also come to his senses.

He looked at the sweet potatoes piled up in front of him and the busy farmers in the distance.

He shook his head and said.

"It's not 2000 kilograms, it's at least 2000 kilograms."

"Look at the sweet potatoes in front of you. They are probably close to 2000 kilograms, right? And I think the harvesting area is less than an acre of land, right?"

Jia Qin saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Ying Ming, we probably haven't harvested half an acre of sweet potatoes yet, so the 2000 kilograms I just mentioned are all conservative estimates."

"Looking at the current situation, if one acre of land is harvested, it will probably weigh five to six thousand kilograms."

"Five or six thousand catties."×n
  At this moment, not only His Majesty the Emperor and King Zhongshun exclaimed.

Even those who followed His Majesty the Emperor and the guards hidden around them couldn't help but exclaim.

This number is really too scary.

In the Great Zhou Empire, where the average yield per mu was two to three hundred kilograms of grain, who could not be shocked by the sudden appearance of grain that increased the yield by twelve times per mu?
  After coming back to his senses, His Majesty the Emperor no longer cared about his own face.

He quickly stepped forward, took a piece of sweet potato, and put it in his mouth.

While chewing, he didn't forget to nod and said.

"Go and help these farmers harvest sweet potatoes with a few people to see how they harvest them. Make sure the area is about an acre and see how many sweet potatoes can be harvested from this acre of land."

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's anxious look, Jia Qi ordered someone to light a fire nearby.

"Since Your Majesty wants to verify it for yourself, it is up to you to harvest the sweet potatoes. I will try other ways to eat these sweet potatoes for you."

Ever since.

In the following time, His Majesty the Emperor and King Zhongshun personally helped collect the sweet potatoes.

And beside.

Jia Qi used the knowledge in his memory to cook sweet potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, and even made a pot of sweet potato porridge.

When these things were brought to His Majesty and the Prince, they started eating and drinking regardless of their appearance.

When an acre of sweet potatoes is harvested, weighing is also completed here.

This bag weighs 80 pounds, another bag weighs 100 pounds, and another bag weighs 150 pounds.

In the blink of an eye, all the sweet potatoes were successfully completed.

The man holding an abacus in one hand also stopped what he was doing at this moment and said excitedly.

"6492 jins, 6492 jins, this is the yield from one acre of land. This yield is too high."

Not only did he think it was high, everyone present was shocked by this number.

Especially after confirming that this thing was edible, they were so shocked that they almost went numb.

His Majesty the Emperor patted Jia Qi's shoulder excitedly.

"Okay, okay, okay, this sweet potato you donated is the best thing I have ever received in my life. No matter what your request is, you can ask me. As long as you don't want my position, I will promise you anything." .”

His Majesty the Emperor is so excited.

But after saying that, he came back to his senses.

Did I ask your boy to bring me fresh sweet potatoes? What I want is the secret recipe for keeping healthy.

But even though he didn't get the secret recipe, he just wanted to say, this sweet potato is so delicious.
