"Nine stones is too much, I dug out eleven stones!"
Zhao Jin's eyebrows moved slightly, nine stones, eleven stones, this weight can be said to be quite considerable.
He approached the pile of potatoes, picked up a yellow-orange potato, looked at it, and put it down again.
One stone in ancient times was equivalent to one hundred pounds in modern times.
Zhao Jin had previously learned about the grain yield per mu in Yunzhou County. Even in a good harvest year, it was only three or four dan.
Nine stones, at this time, was an unimaginable number.
"Try to keep these potatoes as grain seeds."
The farmers on the side responded one after another: "Don't worry, sir, we know it!"
They wish they could replace all the grain with such a high yield.
Zhao Jin glanced at their expressions and vaguely guessed what they were thinking.
However, although potatoes can be used as a staple food, they are not suitable for long-term use as a staple food.
"When planting next year, potatoes will be left in wasteland, sandy land, and fields where millet or rice cannot be grown."
As soon as Zhao Jin said these words, everyone was stunned.
"Sir, why is this?"
"Yes, the potato yield per acre is so high, shouldn't we leave more land?"
Zhao Jin shook his head, "Even in sandy land, the yield of potatoes will be higher than that of millet. There is no need. You can't all use potatoes as your staple food in the future."
"Sir, sir, what did you say?"
These farmers were stunned.
Sand? Wasteland?
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "You heard me right, potatoes can also be cultivated in these fields."
This is simply beyond everyone's expectation.
What Zhao Jin said was like a fantasy. It was something that no one had dared to imagine, but no one did not believe it.
The cheers in the fields were even louder.
Zhao Jin did not stay here longer.
It is already autumn, and after the people have finished harvesting their food, winter will follow.
Zhao Jin frowned, Beili was very likely to attack Yunzhou City in winter.
The people have just finished harvesting the grain, and there is plenty of food at home. Whether it is to fight the autumn wind or to capture Yunzhou City in one fell swoop, it will be more beneficial to Beili.
In winter, the weather is cold, and soldiers from the north are more adapted to the cold climate, and will definitely have an advantage on the battlefield.
Zhao Jin exhaled a long breath, Yunzhou City must move.
At that time, they had to face not only Beili, but also the King of Liang.
Beili.
Prince Beili looked at the account book in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "How are you preparing?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, it will be a month and a half at most."
"Okay!" The prince clapped his hands and laughed, "When Gu takes over the entire Yunzhou County, my father will definitely look at Gu with new eyes."
The person at the head was a staff member with a goatee. He raised his hands and congratulated: "I would like to extend my congratulations to His Highness."
"Hahaha!"
After the prince laughed, he asked: "How is the situation with King Liang?"
Hearing this, the staff member frowned and said, "Your Highness, Prince Liang said that it might be postponed for some time."
"Delay for a longer time?" The prince looked dissatisfied.
"Why, he's not ready yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince recalled something and said softly, "I just remembered that the iron mine he owned in Yunzhou County was taken away by Zhao Jin."
There was a hint of ridicule in the staff's voice, "That's right, so Liang Wang's side will be later."
"However, the iron ore was taken away by his own son, and Prince Liang was the only one who got it."
The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "He did a great job back then, and he deserves it."
When mentioning Zhao Jin, the prince couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, "I heard that this Zhao Jin has excellent abilities, but I'm afraid he won't be easy to deal with."
"Being able to firmly control Yunzhou County in such a short period of time is obviously not a waste."
Immediately afterwards, the aide changed his voice and complimented: "But your highness does not need to worry too much. Beili's troops and horses are strong. At that time, there were a total of 80,000 troops."
"The combined total of Yunzhou counties can only have an army of 50,000 at most. Furthermore, Zhao's army is not as good as my Beili army."
"It makes sense." The prince sighed and frowned, "I am more worried about the special forces and new weapons that Zhao Jin mentioned."
It is said that these two things are specially designed for Beili.
But they had no way of knowing what these special forces were. They only knew that Zhao Jin specially selected 10,000 people for special training.
As for the so-called new weapons, they only knew a little bit about it, and couldn't hear anything about the rest.
"Prince Liang is really useless." Thinking of this, the prince was very dissatisfied.
King Liang couldn't get any information about these things.
Fortunately, Yunzhou County was still the fiefdom of King Liang himself.
"However, it is not necessarily a bad thing that Prince Liang is useless." The prince narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.
Beili's goal is not to settle for just a Yunzhou County.
If Beili hadn't been hampered by internal fighting, this time they would have actually directed their troops directly at Zhao State, instead of just a small Yunzhou County.
"Prince Liang, how long will it be postponed?" the prince asked in a deep voice.
The staff member frowned slightly, "What Prince Liang said was that it would be postponed for half a month."
"Half a month..."
The prince looked quite dissatisfied, "We are ten days ahead of him."
"yes!"
Since autumn, both Yunzhou City, Beili, and the location of King Liang have been in a quiet and stable state.
But a keen person can detect the turbulent waves hidden underneath.
Soon, the weather gradually became colder.
Zhao Jin woke up early in the morning and suddenly felt that the sky outside was a little bright.
It should be quite dark outside now at 9 o'clock.
Did he get up late today?
Zhao Jin opened the door and took a look. There was a layer of snow on the ground outside, and there were falling snow.
Is it snowing?
With the arrival of the first snow, Yunzhou City has entered winter.
The originally calm atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"How is Beili doing now?"
Yang Xu frowned and said, "With frequent actions, we have captured six or seven spies from Beili in the past few days."
"Six or seven." Zhao Jin murmured, his expression slightly cold.
With this move, Beili was probably preparing to take action.
"Send the order and ask the soldiers in the military camp to prepare and be ready to face Beili at any time!"
Yang Xu had expected Beili's recent actions, and was not surprised when he heard Zhao Jin's instructions.
"Patrols in the city will be strengthened, and the protection of the city gates will also be strengthened."
Zhao Jin's voice was calm as he issued instructions one after another.
"Boulders, explosives, all these things are ready."
"In recent times, we have increased the purchase of saltpeter, etc. If Yunzhou City is not enough, we will go to other places."
"Remember to use different people to avoid leaking information."
The atmosphere in the entire Yunzhou City suddenly became tense.
Even ordinary people can smell something unusual in it.
