God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 208 Huge yield per mu (fourth update)

People watched everything in the field intently, and some people looked at the harvest as if they were watching a play.

Most people still don't believe that this mu of land can produce thirty shi of grain.

When the first potato plant was pulled up, everyone stared at it for a long time.

Especially Cheng Yaojin, who walked over quickly and picked it up to have a look.

At the root were more than a dozen lumps bigger than his fist.

"Not to mention, this thing is quite heavy."

This one is so heavy, let alone, there are really so many.

Cheng Yaojin asked again: "Your Highness, how do you eat this thing? It looks tempting, can you eat it raw?"

Li Chengqian gave Cheng Yaojin a white look, and said: "You can't eat it raw, it will hurt your stomach if you eat it! If you want to know how to eat it, you will know in a while."

"Is it so mysterious?"

"It's hard to describe in words, because you can only know when you do it! How do you want me to describe it?"

Li Chengqian said that, especially food, you have to eat it to feel the mystery. How can you understand it just by talking about it?
So Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything anymore.

Li Shimin also came over at this time.

"Let me see!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately cleaned up the soil on the potatoes and handed them to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin weighed it, the look on his face became exciting.

"This thing is really very heavy. It seems that Gao Ming didn't lie to us. This thing is very delicate, and it feels like there is some earthy fragrance. I just don't know how it tastes?"

Li Shimin said so, and no one dared to underestimate him.

If things go on like this, some people will be slapped in the face, especially those who guess three stones, it's really random guessing.

"Your Majesty, this potato tastes absolutely delicious. I have prepared several cooking methods. How about please share it with Your Majesty, His Highness the Queen and all the ministers?"

Empress Changsun also walked to the edge of the field and said, "Then I am looking forward to it."

Li Shimin became very interested.

He said: "Good! Good! Good!"

Li Chengqian then took out a knife, picked up a potato, peeled off half of it and said: "The whole potato can be eaten, and there is no need to refine it!"

This refreshed everyone's understanding again. From the young lady to Li Shimin, everyone's expressions were shocked, but they hadn't reached the time to trigger points.

Everyone was also whispering about this so-called potato.

"It's hard to imagine that this crop actually eats lumps buried at the bottom of the soil."

"There are more than a dozen such big lumps in one plant, is this enough for two or three people to eat?"

"That's more than a hundred times better than wheat. May I ask how much edible one plant of wheat can make?"

"No, there is also wheat that is very troublesome to process."

This person is right. Wheat and its skin need to be removed before it can be eaten. It takes time and effort to eat a meal, but this big thing seems to be different, and it can even be eaten whole.

Zhang Liang was also dumb. He wanted to question it, but now it seems that he can't.

Li Shiyi said again: "Come here, quickly collect them, I want to know the specific yield per mu!"

Because this number is very important, if it exceeds people's imagination, then the future can be expected, and there may be no famine in Datang.

"Yes!"

But the manpower here is obviously not enough, and it can't be collected in a short time.

Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, how about letting all civil and military officials harvest together? Let them experience the hard work of farmers and know that it is not easy at the bottom."

This suggestion was appreciated by Li Shimin. He said: "Good idea, have you all heard it? Everyone go down to work for me and harvest the potatoes in the field."

Everyone was surprised, this... seemed unreasonable, but it was reasonable when Li Chengqian said so.

Officials originated from the people, and it is normal for them to be among the people.Experience the happiness and sufferings of the people and serve the people better.

Therefore, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes!"

Most people are unwilling, but a few people take pleasure in it, especially Cheng Yaojin, standing in front of him, pulling up potatoes one by one.

For the others, the generals are fine, but the civil servants seem to be struggling a lot. They do less farm work, so it is obviously a bit difficult to put away the potatoes.Some people fell to the ground, otherwise they made their clothes dirty and messy, which can be described as full of ugly appearances.

Li Chengqian smiled and watched the performances of these ministers.

At this time they probably scolded him all over, but he didn't care, who made them not believe him?Give them a lesson by the way.And this harvest is nothing, a very simple matter, not embarrassing.

There are many people, and after a while, all the potatoes are piled together.

Most of the ministers are disheartened.

This huge pile of potatoes seems like a lot.

"Come on, come on!"

Li Shimin insisted.

Then a few small yellow doors went up to weigh these potatoes.

Everyone at the scene focused their eyes on these people.

"First scale, one stone!"

Someone reported the number, and the amount of these potatoes was less than one-thirtieth. All the officials couldn't help but admire that this thing is really heavy.

"Second scale, one stone!"

……

Following Xiao Huangmen's report, the number is constantly rising.

In just a moment, Xiao Huangmen's calls stopped at forty stones.

The jaws of all the ministers were about to drop in surprise.

The yield per mu is more than 4000 catties, what kind of concept is that!It is more than ten times that of wheat.That is to say, one mu of land can replace the previous ten mu. If this is the case, will there still be famine?
A shrewd minister began to say: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there will be no more famines in the Tang Dynasty!"

He made a good start, so everyone cheered in unison as he said.

Li Chengqian thought to himself: These people are so funny, putting the cart before the horse, obviously they were created by Lao Tzu, but they go to flatter Li Shimin, it's really interesting.

Li Shimin still has a little conscience, he said: "All the hard work is brilliant, he is the one who took the lead in researching potatoes, and he has contributed a lot."

Of course, Li Chengqian wanted to cooperate with the performance, so he said: "Everything is for the sake of the people, not hard work! It's all about relieving His Majesty's worries, so there is no credit for it."

Li Shimin nodded, and turned to talk about the minister: "Such integrity is what you want to learn!"

The ministers nodded and bowed again and said: "Your Majesty is right, the integrity of His Highness the Crown Prince is a model for us to learn from."

This is the so-called minister.

Cheng Yaojin was very disdainful of these people's expressions, but asked: "Your Highness, the potatoes in this field are gone, what are the other two pieces?"

This question is probably what everyone wants to ask, but Li Chengqian is not in a hurry to say it because it is not yet time.

But Li Chengqian didn't say anything, everyone was in a hurry.

Li Shimin was even more so, so he also asked: "Yes, the other two fields seem to be different, Gao Ming, what is that?"

Now everyone turned their attention to the other two lands on the side.
