Chapter 284 Chapter 280

Li Er didn't believe it when he heard the report from the subordinates that new grain had appeared, and then the prime ministers of the three provinces and six ministries asked for an interview, and Li Er had to believe it.

Then Baiqi was dispatched, the Jinwu Guards cleared the road, Li Er led the team, followed by the six ministries of the three provinces, and they all went to Sujiawan by car.

In the grain planting land of Sujiawan, there is no wheat planted at this time, but a piece of bare land.

"Excavation.

Digging acre by acre. "

Looking at the planting method he didn't understand, Li Er didn't refute it, and the ministers didn't question it either.

Everyone is a civilized person. If Su Xi lied to others, they could kill Su Xi, but they can't do it now, it's easy to die.

The three crops started at the same time, and the professional grain growers raised by the Marquis of Quyang taught the soldiers how to work.

Everyone worked together, and the effect was very good. One mu of land was harvested quickly.

The measuring scales were brought by Fang Xuanling and others, there is absolutely no problem.

The measurement efficiency is very high.

Thirty stones of sweet potatoes, 25 stones of potatoes, and twenty stones of corn.

As soon as the data of the three crops came out, Li Er jumped up excitedly.

Tang civil servants are going crazy.

They know all too well what this data represents.

"Don't get excited, continue to measure, all [-] mu of land here will be measured on one side.

Also, I asked Niu Jinda from Longyou to measure the land of the Su family for me. "

Although Li Er had already believed it, he still asked people to continue.

The Su family's land was harvested very quickly. After measuring one acre by one acre, more than 100 mu of land was soon finished. The average yield of this 100 mu of land was not less than 22 stones per mu.

This data made Datang Wenwu completely crazy.

"God bless me Datang."

Li Er cried excitedly.

"Come on, leave me an acre of land, and I will harvest it myself."

Li Er was excited and went to work by himself.

Fang Xuanling and the others followed suit in desperation. Fortunately, the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty had a good basic quality. Although they were not proficient in farm work, they were not bad.

Wang Gui pulled out a large bag of potatoes and weighed them by himself. It weighed three catties.

Cen Wenwen dug out a large piece of sweet potato, weighed it, it was more than a catty.

The same goes for other people. Break two corns and weigh them. It feels very honest. Thinking about the taste, it's not bad.

The most important thing is to store it for a long enough time.

"If these foods were available in the reign of Wude, then the disaster in the second year of Zhenguan would not be a problem."

Xiao Yu who was in the crowd said helplessly.

Everyone else was shocked too.

"Your Majesty, it's not just here. Master Xuankong of Putuo Temple donated all the land in his own temple, plus the land of the Su family. These things can be used as seeds in the Tang Dynasty in the coming year."

Su Xi came out to show her merits appropriately.

Li Er looked at the three kinds of crops piled up next to him, and then looked at the professional grain growers beside Su Xi, feeling very refreshed.

"The prosperity of my Tang Dynasty is just around the corner."

Li Er felt that he might create an unprecedented prosperity.

"Xuanling?"

"The minister is here."

"The decree is that the Marquis of Quyang will live with the country forever, and no emperor in the Tang Dynasty can deprive him of his title, including me."

Li Er took a deep look at Su Xi.

As soon as Li Er's words came out, the others wanted to refute and persuade Li Er to take back his will, but when they looked at the high-yielding crops next to them, they immediately lost confidence.

Su Xi is too powerful, this is a real achievement.

As long as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes are eaten, everyone has to give credit to Su Xi.

"The disaster year is no longer terrible, and the population of Datang will also enter an explosive period."

Changsun Wuji thought it was just three new types of crops, but he never expected that there would be so many more.

The yield is [-] shi per mu, and the land is not recognized, which means that bad land in some remote areas can also be planted.

This is so exciting, even to put it too far, Yu Guochangcun's reward is a bit low.

This news is not a secret that can be kept in the leaky Datang, and it will spread everywhere soon.

The simplest point is that the land price began to fall. When the news that the new crops of the third middle school did not choose the land was spread everywhere, the land price in the entire Datang Dynasty began to fall, while the price of farm tools rose faintly.

Many people began to raise funds to buy farm tools to reclaim the land.

In the past, they didn't want to waste energy on reclamation of some wasteland, and it would be good to cultivate some high-yield land intensively.

It’s different now. The country has new crops, and they distribute them for free. Some of them can survive the winter, and they can be harvested in the next spring.

This is something to be excited about.

Since it is exciting and the new crops do not choose land, if they don't quickly reclaim a few acres of wasteland at this time, try it out quickly, and plant some food for the coming year, then they are really fools.

Of course they are not fools, and naturally they want to start planting.

Many well-connected local officials began to give gifts.

Just like Su Xi now, Li Er hasn't left yet, several officials from the Sixth Ministry have started dating relatives. The implication is, leave them some technicians and seeds, and their families have some relatives of local officials .

Needless to say, grasping these seeds and solving the problem of food for the local people will be a proper political achievement, or an ironclad political achievement.

When the common people can afford to eat, more people will work in factories, earn more money, produce more products, and then sell them.

It's a good cycle.

Free up more human resources.

Datang has few people now, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Once the population increases, Datang's national power will double.

Relying on the Fubing system, 40 troops can now be drawn out. If there are 2000 million people, Datang can draw out 80 troops.

For example, during the Ming Dynasty, more than 100 million troops could be drawn out.

As for the locality, the more troops the locality can draw out, the stronger the ability of the officials.

When the local government soldiers made meritorious service, the local captains and officials would also share part of the credit, which is also the advantage of the government soldier system.

These are the reasons for the excitement of Li Er and the ministers, who all believe that this is a bright future.

Su Xi looked at the excited crowd and took Li Er to her home.

"Your Majesty, since you've come to Sujiawan, please sit down at home. I've asked my family to prepare the dishes."

At Su Xi's home in Sujiawan, Li Er saw what it means to eat a variety of dishes.

Polenta, boiled corn, roasted corn, cornmeal cakes.

Potato ragout, potato goulash, steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, fried potato chips, and vermicelli.

Baked sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge.

Three kinds of food, a table of dishes was made abruptly, and everyone didn't feel too uncomfortable eating, on the contrary, they were very happy to eat.

Su Xi is also very happy. After taking good care of these uncles, his future will be greatly improved.

Li Er is very happy to eat, especially like polenta, and also like fried potato chips.
