"What's wrong?"
"What else is wrong with you? You, you, do you know that this will affect the potato yield-"
Wei Zheng was so angry at this kid that his beard trembled, and he almost poked Wang Zi'an in the face with his finger.
When Wang Zian heard this, he immediately became happy.
"You guys are talking about this, I thought something was wrong - don't worry, it's not a big problem and it won't affect the taste -"
Listen to what this means, why do you want to eat it, you brat!
Wei Zheng was so angry that he rushed forward and pushed him aside.
Like an angry old hen, he opened his arms and his thin body directly protected the potato that had just been brought out by Wang Zi'an.
"Don't eat it!"
Wang Zi’an:……
Look at Li Shimin, then look at Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji. They are not important anyway.
Several people almost all mean the same thing.
Had to give up with regret.
Forget it, since you have potatoes, you can eat them sooner or later, and it doesn’t take much time. There is no need to make everyone unhappy just for this stutter.
"Why are you nervous? It's like you haven't eaten before. If you don't eat, you won't eat -"
Wang Zi'an looked at Wei Zheng who looked nervous and felt both angry and amused.
"You've already pulled it out, why are you still protecting it? You don't want to know how much one can produce..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and others immediately became energetic.
I even used a shovel and just started planing by hand.
In fact, when Wang Zi'an pulled it out, the surrounding soil loosened, and many potatoes were directly exposed. Therefore, they soon held out their big treasures with faces full of surprise.
"This is me, this is me -"
Wei Zheng held a big piece of potato, his tone trembling with excitement.
"I have to weigh at least one kilogram each -"
"The two pieces I have are slightly smaller, but I estimate they add up to more than a kilogram—"
Li Shimin also beamed with joy, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
The three pieces of potatoes between him and Wei Zheng were almost three kilograms. Adding in what Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji had in hand, it was conservatively estimated that there would be seven or eight kilograms of potatoes!
Even based on this output calculation, one acre of land can yield at least eighteen or nineteen dan!
Eighteen or nineteen stones!
Li Shimin and others were almost dizzy when they thought of this number.
When did food production become so high?
Although it still didn't reach the twenty or thirty stones that Wang Zi'an said, when you say this number, it's also incredible!
Several people are excited.
Just listen to Wang Zi'an talking next to you.
"How can it be only this little?"
Several people:……
Holding the potatoes in his hands, he didn't even know what expression he should have on his face.
That's it, why don't you dislike it?
Wang Zi'an really felt that it was too little. In his previous life, he had a roommate who grew potatoes at home. He knew that one of these potatoes weighed more than ten kilograms, and a good one could weigh fourteen or five kilograms.
Is this a little more?
"Go, go, get out of the way, don't block-"
Wang Zi'an stretched out his hand and pulled Li Shimin aside, who was blocking his face.
Li Shimin:...
He looked at Wang Zi'an's raised butt and suddenly wanted to kick her.
Don’t you know how strong this bitch is?
This almost gave me a run-in.
At this time, Wang Zi'an naturally couldn't care less about Li Shimin's resentment. He heard from his roommate that he was a bitch and said that the root system of this thing was very developed. Maybe there were still some potatoes that had not been dug out.
If not, men have power.
Even with his bare hands, he dug up the ground like a shovel and dug in with just one handful.
Then, his face lit up, he had it!
Then, under the incredulous eyes of Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others, three or four huge potatoes were dug out from the ground, weighing four to five kilograms!
Several people couldn't help but breathe heavily.
It doesn’t work anymore, I have to figure it out, how much does it cost——
"Come on, bring me a scale—"
Wei Zheng had no choice but to wave to Bo, the master of Sinong Temple in the distance.
The master didn't dare to be lazy. He ran back like the wind and took out a steelyard. He was panting from exhaustion.
"Come on--"
Li Shimin couldn't wait to grab the scale from the poor master's hand and weighed it himself. Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others also subconsciously leaned their heads towards it.
"Thirteen pounds and two taels!"
Then, several people raised their heads in unison, looked at each other, and subconsciously confirmed.
There’s no mistake, it’s thirteen pounds and two taels!
"Thirteen pounds and two taels——"
Wei Zheng turned around excitedly, hugged Wang Zi'an, and shook him vigorously——
Not shaking...
Wei Zheng:......
This piece of shit bullies me into being old and weak!
However, don’t care, I’m happy——
Then, he heard Li Shimin's almost trembling voice behind him.
"Zian, what is that in your hand?"
Then he subconsciously followed
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ Wang Zi'an looked at his arm.
The whole person suddenly felt bad.
This piece of shit like Wang Zi'an actually has this potato in his hand!
Grab it and weigh it again.
"Fourteen pounds and six taels——"
This time, everyone forgot about the excitement.
Li Shimin muttered to himself as if he was stupid.
"One potato weighs fourteen pounds and six taels. One potato weighs fourteen pounds and six taels. That's one acre of land. That's one acre of land..."
No more, I feel a little dizzy.
He turned his head in disbelief and looked at the stunned Master Bo of Sinong Temple beside him.
“How much is one acre of land?”
"If there is such a production, it should be twenty-eight stones and fifty-six pounds--"
The master of Sinong Temple's beard trembled with excitement.
At this time, I fully understood why His Majesty sent an elite army to guard this thing, sent a group of specialized officials and people who were proficient in agriculture to serve, and also came to inspect it in person every now and then -
It turns out that this thing that looks like a weed has such an incredible yield!
Thinking of this, he was not only a little scared, but fortunately he and others didn't dare to slack off, otherwise if such a treasure were ruined, it would be a dead end.
At this time, no one would take care of the little man's little mood, and everyone had fallen into an excited state.
"We must vigorously promote it and plant it wherever we can -"
Li Shimin waved his arms excitedly.
With this, Datang would not have to worry about food!
Wang Zi'an glanced at him speechlessly.
It’s okay for the other people to be excited. After all, we are also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Being named by Grandfather Taizu, can we have some potential?
I couldn't help but pour cold water on him.
"You want to eat shit - and you have planted them, do you have so many potatoes? Even if you do, can you do this? Do you have a big head - do you really expect this thing to be able to replace other grains... …”
The master of Sinong Temple:...
Is this how you talk to His Majesty and several prime ministers?
He secretly raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others. As a result, he found that several people seemed to have not heard anything and had no reaction at all. He was immediately stunned.
this--
Who am I and where am I?
I'm afraid I'm not dreaming——
After being slapped by Wang Zi'an, Li Shimin and others calmed down slightly after their slightly heated minds.
"Even if it cannot be replaced, it must be promoted vigorously. This kind of thing can produce twenty or thirty stones per acre. Even if it is not as durable as ordinary food, it is still a great good thing, a treasure that can save lives at critical times—— "
Li Shimin was really scared of poverty.
Last year, although I tried my best to provide relief, it was only able to prevent a serious famine around Chang'an. In other disaster-prone areas such as Henan, Shandong, and the northwest of Guanzhong, many people still starved to death.
If such high-yielding crops were available everywhere at that time, why would this happen?
"What are you thinking about? Twenty or thirty dan - I'm talking about the most ideal situation. Who can you see who can take care of their crops like this? If ordinary people grow crops, it would be good to get half of this harvest..."
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others subconsciously looked at the master of Sinong Temple, Bo, who was waiting next to him.
"The Marquis is right. We have chosen the best land for these potatoes, and we have applied farmyard manure according to the Marquis' instructions. They are carefully cared for every day. If we really promote it, I'm afraid the output will be greatly reduced. Discount……"
The master of Sinong Temple, Bo, didn't wait to ask questions and explained very wisely.
Li Shimin and others understood.
Although I am slightly regretful, I am very excited. After all, even if it is discounted in half according to Wang Zi'an's words, it is still a production of more than ten stones, which is as high as the sky!
"So, don't get too excited. If you want to truly ensure that Datang has enough food and clothing, you have to put your hope in hybrid rice -"
After saying that, Wang Zi'an patted Wei Zheng's shoulder with encouragement.
"Old Wei, work hard and try to get hybrid rice out as soon as possible. Let me tell you, if you can get hybrid rice out, you will be rich. You know, at least a marquis is waiting for you -"
Wei Zheng:......
Then I'll have to die!
Seeing that Wei Zheng looked strange and didn't know how to answer the question, the prince was secretly happy.
"Of course, if Your Majesty is generous, it may not be impossible to become a Duke - then, why would you still follow my stingy old father-in-law? When he sees you, he will have to address you as Duke..."
Don't dare, don't dare——
Wei Zheng couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat.
Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were also speechless and looked at Wang Zi'an with playful expressions.
Ah, this——
We can't answer this, just for fear of embarrassing you.
As a result, several people and Wang Zi'an looked at each other and smiled together. They all felt that they were standing on the eighteenth floor and the other person was standing on the horizon.
In the end, Wang Zi'an still didn't eat the vinegary shredded potatoes that he hadn't eaten for a long time. The potatoes he dug out were taken away by Li Shimin and others as if they were treasures.
These little bastards didn’t even say they were going to their own homes to have a meal today.
It’s just that it’s really rare——
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ Wang Zi'an complained and went home calmly.
Needless to say, these old losers must be eager to show off. As for how to put it on, you know it after just thinking about it.
It’s boring, it’s boring.
It's more interesting to go home and spend time with your little Susu. Of course, it's also more interesting to train and teach a few young apprentices.
Li Shimin, who left the prince's farm, couldn't help but clenched the potatoes in his hands, and his face showed a bit of coldness without realizing it. The faces of Changsun Wuji and others also became solemn.
Wang Zi'an is really your Majesty's lucky general. These potatoes came at just the right time!
I was originally worried that the situation in the court would get out of control tomorrow, but now it seems that I may not be able to give it a try!
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Today, all the officials who went to court felt an unprecedented tense and chilling atmosphere as soon as they entered the hall. Several prime ministers looked cold and solemn, and the usually gentle and kind bosses no longer had the smiles of the past. Even a few elders who rarely went to court in the past quietly appeared in the queue.
No pleasantries, no communication.
The depressing breath is like substance.
Everyone unconsciously suppressed the relaxation and smile on their faces, lined up in a row and filed in silently.
There were also well-informed people who had some vague clues and looked into the depths of the hall with complicated eyes.
I know that today in the court, there may be another unprecedented flash of swords, or even bloodshed.
Whether the Taiyuan Wang family, which has been famous for hundreds of years, can continue its former glory, or even leave a trace of its legacy, depends on today's competition in the court.
The Wang family's sins are unpardonable, but the Wang family cannot die.
This is the consensus of many people.
The Guanlong family, the Shandong family, and even the Jiangnan family all understand this simple truth.
It is the Wang family today, but it may not be my own family tomorrow.
(End of chapter)
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
