Shock

After the matter was settled, the rest of the conversation between the two became much more relaxed.

Lu Yaoyao also left Jin Wang to have lunch at the farm.

At the dinner table, Prince Jin looked at a table full of mostly unfamiliar dishes and couldn't help but speak.

"Miss Lu, actually, I have been thinking about a lot of things recently. Can I ask Miss Lu to clarify my doubts today?"

"Tell me?"

The next moment, King Jin pointed at the dishes on the table using potatoes and sweet potatoes as raw materials.

"I am quite curious about them."

Lu Yaoyao had obviously expected it and had no intention of hiding it like yesterday.

"After dinner, I will take you to the farm for a walk."

This time she was not as secretive as yesterday.

Everyone loves each other. No matter what his purpose was yesterday, King Jin left two people to protect the farm, and he did not hesitate to expose himself and release his goodwill.

Since she accepted it, they became true friends at that moment. Lu Yaoyao was never stingy with his friends.

The summer sun was blazing and it was noon. Lu Yaoyao's original intention was to wait until the temperature dropped a little in the afternoon before taking him to the village for a walk.

However, Prince Jin was really curious about her little place.

She had no choice but to ask Qiu Yu to bring two oil-paper umbrellas.

"The sun is so bright, why do you need an umbrella?"

Looking at the oil-paper umbrella handed over by Lu Yaoyao, King Jin didn't understand at all.

"Umbrellas can not only keep out the rain, they can also protect you from the sun."

After that, she opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked outside.

King Jin suddenly realized.

He quickly opened his oil-paper umbrella and followed.

The two walked for about half a quarter of an hour to the area where the farmland on Zhuangshang was located.

At this time, there were still farmers working in the fields under the scorching sun. When they saw Lu Yaoyao coming, they all put down their hands and stepped forward to salute and say hello.

"I'm just here to take a look. You guys can do whatever you need to do and don't worry about me."

The farmers retreated laughing.

"It seems you have done a lot of good things for them."

Lu Yaoyao smiled incredulously and pointed to the place where the farmers were busy.

"That piece is a potato."

King Jin quickly raised his eyes and saw only a large area of ​​dark green, and immediately frowned.

Then I saw a farmer bending down to collect some soil lumps.

"No wonder they are called potatoes, they originally grew underground."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, Qiu Yu ran over and brought two back.

Because the variety is relatively old, the size is not too big, only about the size of a child's fist.

King Jin ignored the mud and took the potato, then looked at it carefully.

"You have planted so much, but you don't know what the yield per acre of this thing is?"

After eating it twice, he has a basic understanding of potatoes.

It is definitely a strange food that can be used as a staple food.

This is the best stuff.

In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently in Dongzhou, and many people in the country are hungry. To have more food that can satisfy their hunger, for the people of Dongzhou, it is definitely a great joy.

"It was relatively low at the beginning, but after years of research and improvement, last year's yield per mu reached more than 2,000 kilograms."

"More than two thousand pounds!"

King Jin's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

The unit of grain weight in Dongzhou is usually denier, which is equal to one hundred kilograms.

The yield of potatoes per mu is more than 2,000 kilograms, which is more than 20 dan.

You must know that the yield per mu of the most productive grain in Eastern Continent is only three or four days. In good years, it can barely get close to five days, but this has only happened two or three times in history.

"Is this true?"

King Jin immediately became excited.

"So what if I take it seriously? I have no intention of spreading this thing."

King Jin, who was excited just now, felt like a basin of cold water was poured over his head at this moment.

"Why?"

Lu Yaoyao did not answer.

She has also seen victims of natural disasters and sympathized with their suffering.

But why does she still hide potatoes and sweet potatoes?

It's very simple. It's all because of the officials in the Dongzhou court who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but actually try every means to plunder and exploit the people.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are enough to change the lives of people in Dongzhou.

At the same time, it can also become the meat and potatoes to attract hungry wolves in the court.

After all, who doesn’t want to leave his name in history?

She also thought that if she traveled to this world, she would have to leave a name.

However, if you want to leave your name, some people must be willing to do so.

Don't leave your name when the time comes, and you still have to pay for it. Isn't that a big loss?

Prince Jin, who received no answer, was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Whatever Lu Yaoyao could think of, he could naturally think of it too.

"Let's go."

Later, Lu Yaoyao took him to see the sweet potatoes, but they were planted not long ago and only the leaves of the vines could be seen.

She didn't hide anything about the yield.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both very high-yielding grains. They are easy to grow and do not have strict environmental requirements.

Judging from the current land conditions in Dongzhou, it can be grown almost anywhere.

In addition to seeing these two crops, Lu Yaoyao also took him to see the waterwheel and the peppers she asked her uncle to get from Hu Shang.

It is hard to imagine that there are so many unique things in Dongzhou hidden on this farm.

King Jin couldn't help but think of what Lu Yaoyao said yesterday.

At that time, he felt that Lu Yaoyao, a girl who grew up in the countryside, was exaggerating.

But after seeing it today, he realized that he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

Putting aside potatoes and sweet potatoes, the waterwheel and the curved shaft plow alone were enough to bring huge changes to Dongzhou's agriculture.

There are also chili peppers, which have caused a stir in Dongzhou’s food culture.

"Miss Lu, your farm is really..."

"This king is very shocked."

Lu Yaoyao is not modest. Things are so good, and it would be too fake to be modest.

"I have shown you all my trump cards, and I ask the prince to keep them a secret for me."

"It's natural."

King Jin nodded repeatedly, and finally glanced at Yan San beside him.

"My subordinates don't know anything."

Yan San was also extremely shocked by what he saw and heard today.

Although I haven't figured out why Miss Lu hid these good things, but since she doesn't want to be exposed, she must have some ideas.

My own prince said it was kept a secret, so naturally he wouldn't talk too much.

"Thank you Miss Lu for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

Lu Yaoyao saw the King of Jin out of Zhuangzi.

"Miss, can he be trusted?"
