At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 5 Three Great Artifacts
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, one stone was about 120 kilograms, or [-] kilograms.

The yield per mu is 31 shi, which means that one mu yields grain... more than three thousand catties!
Yang Guang, the emperor who doesn't distinguish the five grains and does not work hard, his eyes are straight at the moment.

Xu Mu didn't even need to open his mouth, he went straight forward, no matter what his dignity was, he grabbed the shoulder of the agricultural secretary who was running over, and quickly asked, "Is it true that the yield per mu is 31 shi?"

Although he is already an old man, Yang Guang's strength is still extraordinary. Secretary Agriculture's shoulders hurt from being caught, and he instinctively looked at Xu Mu.

"Okay, Lao Yang, let him go. He is the agricultural secretary who manages the potato project fields. He won't lie. We are going to see the harvest situation of the potato project fields."

Xu Mu pulled away Lao Yang and Song Bin, the agricultural secretary of the potato project field.

Since the start of the potato project field at the beginning of this year, he has been in charge of the seeding, collection and collection of the potato project field.

Xu Mu knew his name because he was capable and organized.

"My lord, I harvested twice this year. The last time the yield was 27 shi per mu, this time I was able to break through 31 shi. Thanks to the water trolley, the Quyuan plow and the new type of fertilizer that the lord launched..."

Along the way, Song Bin, who was in his thirties, was beaming with joy.

"Don't worry, the commission promised to you will not be less, and one thousandth of the food produced in the potato field this time will be yours!"

Xu Mu said very generously.

In order to encourage these agricultural secretaries, Xu Mu specially proposed the measure of sharing rewards.

The more yield per mu, the more rewards for them.

Similarly, those farmers who participated in the cultivation of the farmland can also get a lot of rewards.

Right now... Potatoes, winter wheat, and other crops are only trial planted, and have not yet been popularized and opened to the people of Wanmin City.

His Wanmin City had a population of just over 14 in the [-]th year of Daye, and it was also an agricultural product experimental field project that was launched at the beginning of the year.

In fact, not only winter wheat, potatoes, but also crops such as cotton, corn, and pepper that could only be introduced in the Ming Dynasty, were all set aside for the project field by him, and a special agricultural secretary was dispatched to take charge.

At the beginning, the people in Wanmin City did not believe that this project field could grow anything.

Even the agricultural secretaries didn't believe it could be done.

Planting things in winter...

almost impossible.

The planting of these project fields is just a perfunctory completion of the task.

The same goes for Song Bin.

As a veteran farmer, the field he had planted in the Sui Dynasty had the highest output in the village, so he was naturally elected as the agricultural secretary of the potato project field.

Because of his understanding, he knows how difficult it is to grow crops in winter.

Those delicate food crops simply cannot survive the cold winter.

At first he came to be the agricultural secretary with a perfunctory attitude, and he didn't pay much attention to Xu Mu's one-thousandth commission.

Even if there is one thousandth, how much can there be?

An acre of land, it is amazing to produce a stone, and give him one-thousandth...

Ha ha……

The potato field project is developed on the side of two barren mountains, with an area of ​​about [-] mu.

I'm afraid it's enough food for a few days if it's distributed to him?

With such an attitude, Song Bin even said to his wife: "Our lord is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to farm. We Da Sui, if we want to grow food, the most important thing is to look at the sky and the soil to eat. The barren farmland that has been opened up may not even grow grass in winter."

But this ignorant lord, after opening up wasteland, sent soldiers to deliver a plowing tool that he claimed was improved.

Qu Yuanli.

It is similar to the things handed down by the ancestors, but it seems to be simplified a lot.

Before the Tang Dynasty, most of them used Zhiyuan plows, which required three people and two oxen to plow the field together.

It took a lot of manpower and material resources.

After Xu Mu's population expanded, he focused on research on improving agricultural equipment for a period of time.

It took less than ten days for the people in the research institute to study frantically, and finally improved Qu Yuanli.

Of course, he provided key ideas and advice.

With the advent of Quyuanli, one cow and one person, the high-speed and labor-saving farming method instantly replaced the old and backward farming method of two cows and three people.

Afterwards, Song Bin discovered that after the plowing was over, the lord sent another bucket of extremely smelly things.

That's right, it's human feces and the feces of various pig-like chickens and ducks raised in Wanmin City.

In fact, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, wise farmers already knew that manure can increase the fertility of the soil and make the crops grow gratifyingly.

But they don't know how to make fertilizer scientifically...

Regarding this topic, Xu Mu asked the craftsmen of the research institute to set up a special research topic, and finally made a big breakthrough.

Of course, it is still impossible to extract the phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers of later generations, but it has been successfully achieved in increasing fertility.

In the newly built Wanmin City, a fertilizer factory is planned.

It is specially used to use various things to make amazingly fertile crop fertilizers.

In the agriculture-oriented Sui and Tang Dynasties, agriculture was a link that had to be broken through.

After the first round of fertilization, Xu Mu gave the order to ask the agricultural secretary to urge the farmers in the project fields to sow seeds.

After the sowing was completed, the third artifact was launched again.

Water Trolley!

This new type of equipment was also invented by farmers in the Jiangnan area during the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Mu manufactured it in advance with the help of the accelerated research institute.

It can lift water level by level, which perfectly solves the problem of irrigating farmland on the mountainside.

After several months of cultivation, finally in December, the miracle of 31 stones per mu was realized!

"My lord, you are amazing. The three artifacts improved by the research institute can at least triple the grain output!"

Walking along the way, Song Bin was deeply moved. He was originally a farmer, but this year he saw the hope of getting rich because he served as the secretary of the agriculture.

He now praises his lord's talent and strategy to everyone he meets.

Anyway, as long as he encounters something, he will mention a few words to the wise master.

You know, two harvests this year, more than 58 acres of potato fields, counting, the yield per mu is [-] shi, which means harvesting... thousands of shi!

He can get more than one stone of grain.

This is not a lot. The most important thing is that this time the agricultural secretary has an assessment mechanism.

Unqualified persons will be revoked the post of agricultural secretary.

Those who pass continue to serve.

The Lord said that after the establishment of Wanmin City, a large amount of wasteland will be opened up, focusing on planting potatoes.

At that time, his one-thousandth improvement will be very impressive.

You might even get rich!
"Can it really triple the growth?"

Behind Xu Mu and Song Bin, Comrade Lao Yang has been listening attentively.

As the emperor, he had never cared about the sufferings of the people. At this time, what he was thinking of was still Zheng Gaoli.

"Of course, if you use the new variety promoted by the lord, the yield of potatoes can even reach dozens of times that of wheat!"

Song Bin raised his head and chest, and glanced at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang clearly felt that he was despised by the farmer in front of him who might not even be able to write his own name.

If it was before today, he would have been furious and someone would have dragged him down and beheaded him.

But now...

On the contrary, he figured it out a lot, and even nodded slightly, making Lai Huer who was watching beside him dumbfounded.

My lord, what's the matter with you?
You don't really want to rebel with this thief, do you?
Lai Hu'er's heart skipped a beat, but she heard Yang Guang continue to ask: "Is this really the result of that cart, Qu Yuanli and the manure?"

As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, Song Bin's expression darkened.

"You guy, you really don't know what's good and what's wrong. My lord gives you food and shelter, and even promotes high-yielding varieties. How dare you doubt my lord?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Yang Guang, "I'm ashamed to be with you!"

Seeing this scene, Lai Hu'er's brain crashed on the spot.

Oh my God……

He took a closer look at Song Bin, and found that he was indeed an uneducated, ordinary farmer who couldn't be more ordinary, and he was even more frightened.

This is... Throughout the ages, the first farmer who gave the emperor a bad face.

Now he only hopes that His Majesty will not be furious, thus revealing their identities.

But... Then, something happened that made his jaw drop.

Yang Guang actually bowed his hands to Song Bin, nodded and apologized: "It was someone who was rude, and the Secretary of Agriculture has testified, so this matter is of course true, but... 31 shi per mu is really unbelievable."

"Hmph, what's unbelievable, it's just that you are ignorant!"

Song Bin snorted coldly, and his expression eased.

Xu Mu looked at the quarrel between the two and shrugged.

All he can say is, Song Bin, well done!

He obviously sensed that Lao Yang had a faint interest in Wanmin City.

This is a good start.

"We must take him down today!"

Xu Mu thought so, and the group unknowingly walked to the potato project field outside Wanmin City.

Seeing the truckloads of potatoes being transported down the mountainside, Xu Mu suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

This is how technology changes the world.

"Is it necessary to formulate a five-year plan in the future? The first two five-year plans strive to realize the industrial revolution?"

Xu Mu thought in his heart that with the help of the potato variety, the three magic tools of the water drum, the curved plow, and the agricultural fertilizer have been developed in advance, which has increased the grain production by so much.

There are still so many topics in the research institute that are being researched and developed. In the future, before dying of old age, maybe there is a chance to use a smartphone?
Xu Mu was thinking of the Arabian Nights.

As for Yang Guang and Lai Huer, the two watched the busy farmers all over the mountains and plains, and the truckloads of potatoes being consigned down the mountain. The sight before them left them speechless for a long time.

it is true……

Along the way just now, listening to Song Bin brag about Xu Mu's virtuousness, and seeing it with his own eyes are completely different feelings.

Yang Guang even stepped forward to weigh a basket of potatoes and found that it was more than a stone.

"What Song Bin said is true."

Yang Guang muttered, looking at Lai Huer with a complicated expression.

In his eyes, there was shock, loss, envy, and unwillingness.

"Mr. Xu's knowledge is extraordinary, and he possesses a peerless talent. Why didn't he bring potatoes to the palace to meet His Majesty? With this skill, even if he is a Marquis, he is no problem."

Afterwards, Yang Guang looked at Xu Mu and asked solemnly.
