Chapter 854 The sweet potatoes have moved to the vines!
Li Shilong looked at Li Gan who kept vomiting blood and wanted to beat him to death.
My heart is even more sad.
Maybe his education method is really wrong.
Li Gan got up from the ground tremblingly, his eyes were stained red with blood, "Father, I am wrong. I am willing to assist my father to capture, capture the fourth brother.
Please forgive me, father!"
Only now did he realize how ridiculous all the plans were, and there was no way he could hide them from Li Shilong.
"Your fourth brother has been buried a long time ago. He was buried next to the imperial mausoleum. Where are you going to catch your fourth brother and dig him out of the soil?!"
Li Shilong kicked Li Gan out with one kick. This time, half of Li Gan's life was taken away by the kick!
If he didn't want to leave the stigma of killing his son, he would have beaten him to death just now.
"Go and ask someone to treat this evil beast. Don't let him die." After saying that, Li Shilong said again: "Zheng Chang, the governor of Yizhou Prefecture, is not in a good position to defend the city. He defected to the White Lotus Sect and rebelled. It is a serious crime of treason.
The nine tribes should be killed!
Pass on my military order, don’t let anyone escape!”
"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Gui responded and hurriedly left the Manlu Palace.
At this time, the Zheng family in the capital had already received news that Yizhou Prefecture had been captured and that Zheng Chang had taken refuge with the remnants.
For these two days, everyone was in constant panic.
I'm afraid something might happen.
"Don't scare yourself. An He is not stupid. Even if it is difficult to defend the city, he will never take refuge in the rebels. This is a serious crime against the nine tribes. He will not think of it.
Moreover, Yizhou Prefecture was captured five days ago, and that person must have received the news. If he really wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago and not wait until now!"
"Yes, your Majesty must know that this is the rebellious plot of the White Lotus Sect. For the sake of the reputation and dignity of our Zheng family, we have not made it public."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod. Although they are just a branch, there are hundreds of people serving as officials in the capital. Looking at the whole country, there are even more.
Li Shilong would not be so reckless.
Besides, Daqian is in turmoil now. If he attacks the family again, Daqian will be really in danger!
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but fall back into their stomachs.
But who is this? The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside, followed by a loud voice, "Zheng Chang was unable to defend the city. He defected to the White Lotus Sect and rebelled. He let the White Lotus Sect rebel. He put on the armor of a Daqian general and became the Governor of Yizhou Prefecture.
With his identity, he deceived Pengzhou, Hanzhou, Qianzhou... and waited for the guards to open the city gates and captured the six states without any blood. He deserved death!
According to His Majesty's decree, we will capture the remaining members of the Zheng family and the thieves of the nine clans, and punish them!"
Hearing this, the Zheng family felt chills all over their bodies.
The wolf-like imperial army rushed in and arrested all the Zheng family members.
"I want to see His Majesty!"
"Meet Your Majesty?" the Forbidden Army general sneered, drew out his knife, and struck the man on the head, "Go to hell!"
There are no chickens or dogs left in the Zheng family.
Many Zheng family officials are still on duty in the Yamen.
He was taken away by the Imperial Guards.
For a moment, the capital was shaken.
Jiangnan Road was captured by the White Lotus Sect, and the news that Zheng Chang took the lead in the rebellion shocked everyone.
Everyone was frightened and did not dare to show their heads. They tried their best to hide their tails.
No one dared to stand up and plead for the Zheng family.
Because Li Shilong produced irrefutable evidence.
The next afternoon, there were thousands of people in the Zheng family.
All people aged over eight and under eighty, regardless of gender, were pushed to the entrance of the wet market.
Dozens of executioners cut with sharpened knives.
Everyone understands that the Zheng family is in trouble!
With lips dying and teeth cold, major families began to join groups to keep warm.
Secretly, everyone began to contact the outside world.
At this time, Lingnan.
Qin Mo looked at the vine-grown sweet potatoes and his whole body trembled with excitement.
He planted these sweet potatoes in mid-August, and by September, they had already taken over.
Fortunately, the temperature in Cangwu is suitable and it is not cold in winter. It is estimated that it should be around 11 to 20 degrees Celsius.
However, sweet potatoes like warm temperatures and are afraid of cold, and will stop growing when the temperature drops below 15°C.
Moreover, the growth cycle of sweet potatoes takes six or seven months. Even if they are planted in summer, it will take about four months.
Qin Mo calculated the time and found that the greenhouse was still needed.
Sweet potatoes were a thing that had countless lives in the early years.
It is also one of the key crops for getting rich.
Later, when everyone became rich, sweet potatoes gradually became a supplementary food.
In the past, Grandma Qin Mo cut sweet potatoes into cubes and boiled them with sweet potato leaves to feed pigs.
When Qin Mo was a child, he followed the naughty kids in the village to steal sweet potatoes and bake them to eat. At that time, he thought sweet potatoes were the most delicious thing.
Thinking of the soft and delicious roasted sweet potatoes, Qin Mo swallowed his saliva. If he held a sweet potato in his hand in winter, it would be delicious and warm.
Gao Yao saw Qin Mo's silly smile and couldn't help but said: "Master, can these sweet potatoes really yield five to six thousand catties per mu?"
"Of course, the land in Cangwu is fertile, and sweet potatoes will definitely produce high yields!" Qin Mo said with a smile: "This year they will be used for seed production. Next year, these sweet potato seeds will allow the people in Lingnan to have enough to eat.
However, sweet potatoes cannot be completely used as a staple food. Eating too much can cause diarrhea.
Moreover, if it is not stored well, it will rot within a month.
If stored in a cellar, it can be stored for about half a year, but it is not as durable as other staple foods.
However, sweet potatoes can be washed into sweet potato powder, dried, or sliced.
Sweet potato leaves can be used for stir-fry, and sweet potato cubes can be used to make carrots, which will be sweet enough to knock your teeth out!
Add sweet potatoes when cooking porridge to make you feel hungry!
If people can’t finish it, they can also feed it to pigs and poultry!
Make sure you eat well."
Gao Yao swallowed. Although she had seen what sweet potatoes looked like, she thought they were delicious just from Qin Mo's description.
"Young master, how can there be no one who can't finish the food?" Gao Yao said.
"That may have been the case before, but not necessarily now." Qin Mo walked out of the sweet potato plantation and came to the potato plantation.
“It is possible to produce three to four thousand kilograms of potatoes per mu, especially here in Cangwu, where the land is fertile.
If the variety is improved in the future, I am afraid it will be able to grow to more than 6,000 pounds.
Moreover, potatoes can be used as a staple food. Not only are they rich in nutrients and taste good, they can also be used to make a variety of delicacies.
It has more applications than sweet potatoes.
The storage time is also longer. With it, people will no longer be hungry.
Even if you pay taxes and pay taxes, it will be enough to feed a large family and give them surplus food to sell."
Qin Mo looked at the sprouting potatoes and felt very happy.
These are baby bumps.
Lingnan was tax-free for the first two years and half-taxed for the next eighteen years. Each person had one hundred acres of permanent land, so they didn't have to pay rent to the landlords, and there was enough food for them to eat.
With the addition of these sweet potatoes and cassava, it went from one or two meals a day to 30% a day.
I'm afraid there will still be some food left by the end of the year.
After people have enough to eat, they will think about wearing warm clothes, and after wearing warm clothes, they will have higher pursuits.
