Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 328: High-yielding grains are mature, and the Jia family holds another wedding banquet

"I specially waited for you at this door. Now that you are back, let's go."

Jia Qi said with doubts on his face.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?"

The visitor was none other than King Zhongshun.

He didn't care what Jia Qi said, and directly pulled him into the carriage next to him. After entering the carriage, he said.

"Do you know what day today is? If I ask you to attend a banquet, you will forget about the business."

"You asked people to watch the high-yield grain thing before. You forgot that now that the grain has matured, His Majesty has rushed out of the city. The other civil and military ministers also followed His Majesty out after leaving. You, the protagonist, will not go if you don't go. It’s too late.”

Jia Qi then remembered that he had gone back to the city a few days ago when the sweet potatoes were about to ripen, and had forgotten the time, so he quickly smiled.

"It's my fault. I forgot that the sweet potatoes were ripe today. Otherwise, I should have found one and left. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay, don't say these useless things. Hurry out of the city and see how much high-yield food can be harvested. If it is true as you said, your boy's contribution this time is definitely not small."

Because one acre of land was used as the standard when building greenhouses before, this is exactly the yield of one acre of land, and no one asked how to measure it.

Following His Majesty the Emperor's order, someone entered the greenhouse and began to dig out the sweet potatoes in the greenhouse.

"So much has been dug, it's already over 100 kilograms. If all this acre of land is dug, it will be at least a thousand kilograms, right?"

There was a scale placed outside the Dapeng Gate. When things were moved out, everyone watched attentively.

When the weight exceeded 2000 pounds, they were all shocked and numb.

"Okay, the real owner is here, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the greenhouse to wash the sweet potatoes. Let me see how many kilograms of sweet potatoes can be produced per acre."

"What's that look in your eyes? The ones you dug just now don't even have a bit of land, right? I don't think it's a thousand catties. It's possible that it can produce tens of thousands of catties."

They crossed the carriage and quickly arrived outside the city. When they arrived at Zhuangzi, many people had gathered here, and there were soldiers guarding them. It could be said that it was an iron wall.

As soon as he walked into the vegetable greenhouse, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said.

The first bag of sweet potatoes weighed more than 100 kilograms, but when they saw the untouched land inside, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Ten thousand kilograms is a bit exaggerated, but I think three to five thousand gold is no problem. This yield is too high. If this high-yielding grain is promoted, where will our empire be short of food?"

"Yes, yes, this is the blessing of our Great Zhou Empire."

Even if they had predicted it before, when the facts were presented to them, it was still difficult for them to accept it.

The current grain output of the Great Zhou Empire is only about 300 kilograms per mu. As a result, the sweet potatoes have increased 20 times.

When all the sweet potatoes were taken out and the total weight reached 6000 kilograms, they were all stunned.

While they were sighing, sweet potatoes were being transported from generation to generation, and the number of pounds was also increasing rapidly. When the weight exceeded 1000 pounds, everyone's eyes were already shining.

Originally, among the hundreds of millions of people in the Zhou Empire, only 30 to 40 million worked on the land.

It is somewhat difficult to feed hundreds of millions of people on the land among these 30 to 40 million people, but after replacing it with sweet potatoes, everything will not be a problem.

Three hundred million people working on the land can feed at least one billion people. This number is really astonishing. Those who want to understand all this feel that the good days of the Zhou Empire are coming soon, so their faces are full of excitement, and His Majesty the Emperor can't help but say.

"Okay, okay, that's great. All those involved in this matter will be rewarded heavily."

The power of the Great Zhou Empire will leave a mark in the history books.

The emergence of high-yield grain cultivation and vegetable greenhouses will also make his name in history.

It can be said that his lifelong pursuit was completed at this time.

In excitement, he waved his hand.

"Jia Aiqing, we have harvested so many sweet potatoes today, so we have the extravagance to go and take some out, make sweet potato-based delicacies for everyone to try, and let everyone know that these sweet potatoes are edible. "

This is crucial, otherwise, if others don’t believe that sweet potatoes are edible, no one will grow them.

Only after His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty ate them all could they openly tell everyone that these things were good, edible, and could provide food and clothing.

They want to take the lead.

Jia Qi naturally understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant, so he agreed and had people prepare.

And just as His Majesty the Emperor was preparing to have a sweet potato feast, Jia Mu had already called his eldest son in the Rongguo Mansion.

After the old lady finished speaking her usual thoughts, her eldest son Jia She had no intention of refusing.

But while he agreed, he said to the old lady.

"I know what you mean by doing this, and I also know your purpose. Since you want to use my name to entertain guests, you must pay the corresponding price."

"Is it okay for me to own 50% of the money in my hand? Mother."

If he took out 50% of it, wouldn't it mean that Mother Jia's flesh would hurt him to death? He would never do it.

But Jia Mu didn't agree, and Jia She didn't let go.

"Mother, you have to understand that you are doing it in my name. If I don't agree, even if you do it, I will mess with him. Then you will not only not be able to make any money, but you will also be unable to compensate. Few, so why not listen to me and let’s work together for a win-win situation.”

Jia's mother did not expect that her eldest son would want to take money from herself, which he was unwilling to do.

But he also understands his eldest son's character, and now that he knows his plan, he will definitely not do it if he doesn't get a share of the pie.

So after careful consideration, Jia Mu bargained with him and got a clear answer, giving up 30% to Jia She. From then on, the matter was officially finalized.

However, Jia She finally said.

"Since mother wants to do it, let's do it on a bigger scale. Before, I just took a concubine, which is unreasonable. I might as well just marry a wife. Now that I have one legal wife, I can also marry two equal wives. Wait for you The old man will find a place for me to calm down."

"In this way, we can accept the gifts reasonably, don't you think?"

Naturally, Jia Mu would not refuse. This was not a problem for him, so she agreed directly.

Just when the Jia family was about to hold a wedding banquet again after the high-yield grain harvest, an 800-mile express letter was quickly delivered to the capital from the north.
