Chapter 88 Amazing Yield(1/2)
As soon as Xiao Zhengtai let go of the animals from the Beast Garden, he ordered people to turn the ground and plant potatoes.
Originally, after the feces of those animals were turned into the soil, they were pulled out by these ministers by their hands before they could even be melted into the soil. The taste was imagined!
But even so, it cannot stop the excitement of these ministers!
For them, this is not potatoes, but the hope of Daqin.
Even Li Si, Zhao Cheng and others tried their best to dig!
The little boy gave the hoe to Fusu and ran to the side and crossed his legs to drink tea!
"Father, I didn't expect potatoes to be so productive!"
Fusu carried the hoe and digged hard, and sweat was already flowing down her cheeks, but her whole body was still full of energy.
I was so excited to see the potatoes that were being dug out!
"Yes, Feiyu said that this thing yields 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu. I thought it had the ingredients of bragging. As long as it reaches 1,000 kilograms, I would be satisfied. I didn't expect that what this child said was true!"
Ying Zheng stood the hoe on the ground, held it on the handle of the hoe with one hand, and said happily.
"In the future, the potatoes will be promoted nationwide, and the people of our Daqin will no longer have to go hungry!"
Fusu's eyes were bright, as if he had seen the people's living and working in peace and contentment.
He is a Confucian disciple and can love the people as much as his son, but the only thing that makes Ying Zheng dissatisfied is his weak personality and his brain is too sharp!
So I have never appointed a prince, just to wait a little longer, to see if there can be any improvement after the experience!
Now that Xiao Zhengta has, I don’t expect him anymore!
As the potatoes were dug out one by one, Ying Zheng became more motivated and waved his hoe more happily than anyone else.
Not long after, a small field of potatoes was turned upside down, all the potatoes were dug out, and they lay on the ground to bask in the sun.
Ying Zheng was so tired that he put his hands on his hips and showed a satisfied smile, "How long has it been since I had done such a job? It's been more than thirty years?"
When he was young, he stayed in Zhao State as a proton, and he ate a lot of hardship and rolled his eyes. It was only after he returned to the Qin Palace that he had the bitterness.
Perhaps it was because of the training during that period that Ying Zheng, who is now determined to fight and unify the world!
"Come on! Take all these potatoes to me and calculate how much the per mu yield is?"
"yes!"
Zhang Han received the order and quickly ordered someone to do it.
These potatoes are fish that escaped the net under the mouth of Xiao Zhengtai. They were later divided into small pieces and planted in the field. There was no acre of land at all, so they could only draw conclusions through calculations!
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Han ran back with a happy face.
"how?"
Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask.
"Report to Your Majesty, the potato harvest is quite abundant, and the per mu yield capacity reaches 5,000 kilograms!"
"How many?"
Ying Zheng seemed to have seen a ghost, and his originally small eyes suddenly glared.
Fusu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The yield per mu is 5,000 kilograms!
This is twenty times higher than the current food!
It's really unimaginable!
"Your Majesty, according to the current output, the yield per mu is only more than or less!"
Zhang Han took a piece of paper and handed the calculation result to Ying Zheng.
"Okay, okay, haha, okay, God bless me Daqin!"
Ying Zheng's hair and beard were trembling with excitement.
"That's great. In the future, the people of Daqin will not have any food to eat!"
"Yes, food is the cornerstone of the Qin Dynasty. With sufficient food, the Qin Dynasty can expand its territory!"
"In the future, the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi guys provoked me to the Qin border again, so we will fight back!"
...
Having food means having confidence. The ministers all started to talk in groups of three or three like chicken blood.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, shocking courtiers, reward charm value +10, +5, +6...!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the charm value reaches full value!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, strength, speed, agility, and charm for all full value, rewarding God-level archery!]
Xiao Zhengtai sat aside and was drinking tea leisurely, and the system prompt sound kept coming from his mind.
The prompt sound ended, Xiao Zhengtai's eyes flashed, and his eyes became clearer.
"Potatoes are high in yield and do not pick the soil. But if you want to plant them on a large scale, the care will definitely not be so fine, and the yield will decrease, but it will have to be more than two or three thousand kilograms!"
After accepting the reward from the system, Xiao Zheng walked towards everyone slowly.
"Two or three thousand kilograms are not bad, it's ten times higher than the current food!"
Everyone present nodded happily.
"My master once said that there is a kind of hybrid rice with a yield of more than a thousand kilograms per mu, but I don't have seeds!"
I don’t know if it is because there are rice in this era, so there has been no hybrid rice among the seeds rewarded by the system.
"What? Hybrid rice?"
"This...how do you cross this thing?"
Many ministers blushed when they heard this.
Even Ying Zheng felt embarrassed, "Fei Yu, speak in public, be careful, you are still a child, do you know what hybridization means?"
"I……!"
Xiao Zhengtai was speechless.
What are the minds of these people?
A bunch of big mangoes, yellow on the outside and even more yellow on the inside!
"What I mean by hybridization is not the one you understand, but to choose two excellent varieties with certain genetic differences to hybridize, produce rice with stronger genetics and increase its yield!"
Xiao Zhengta rolled her eyes and explained.
"Oh! So that's it!"
Everyone laughed embarrassedly.
"Then...what is a gene?"
Young Master Fusu was very interested in this and continued to ask.
"This... this is a long story and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Let's talk about it later!"
Xiao Zhengta waved his hand and was too lazy to explain.
"All right!"
Fusu was a little disappointed.
"That... Father, my son has grown so many potatoes, so why should I give me two of them to eat?"
Xiao Zhengta looked at the piles of potatoes and licked her tongue.
He really didn't eat enough potato chips that day, so he wanted to have two more!
"No, absolutely not, don't even think about it!"
However, Ying Zheng refused decisively.
Listen to your breath, there is no room for maneuver!
"These potatoes need to continue sowing, and strive to be distributed to the people of Xianyang City next spring!"
"All right!"
Xiao Zhengta had to smack her lips, rolled her eyes, and stood aside, watching the soldiers replanted and sowed the seeds.
It was just noon after everything was done, and everyone went back to their own houses.
Xiao Zhengtai picked a few dishes from the recipe and taught them to the Imperial Chef. Now he can eat delicious stir-fry without him doing it himself!
Although his skills are not as good as his later generations, he can still make up for it, and he is better than doing it himself!
"Feiyu, I still think you taste the best when stir-frying!"
Ying Zheng came to Xiao Zhengtai for free, picked up a piece of spicy chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.
Xiao Zhengtai complained in her heart: Fortunately, the taste was a bit bad, otherwise this old man would have swallowed his tongue?
