At this moment, Li Er was a little glad that he didn't laugh at Du Ruhui along with these animals, because for a while, he had been in the temple for a long time, and he really couldn't remember the approximate value of this matter.
However, after pondering for a while and thinking backwards, Li Er slowly came to his mind, "Pest pests cause grain harvests to fail, ranging from 20% to 0%. If extreme cases such as these are excluded, the crop failure will usually be between 50 and 60%."
become."
"A compromise calculation is about 30% to 40%. In other words, once this biological control method is effective, Datang's annual grain production can increase by 30% to 40% at a time!"
As soon as Li Er finished speaking.
Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji who were present were immediately speechless. They looked at Li Er with wide eyes. They couldn't speak for a long time. If this was true, it would be so exciting. No wonder Li Er suddenly suddenly
All trusted ministers must be summoned to the palace!
At 30% to 40% of grain, it seems that compared to potatoes and sweet potatoes in the past, the improvement is not that much.
After all, since the advent of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the Tang Dynasty, people have never starved to death - but then as the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes expanded, Li Er gradually also discovered potatoes based on reports.
The popularity of growing sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes has quickly dropped, because people don’t like to eat these two things that much.
Li Er tried these two things himself and then promoted them. Even today, he often eats dishes made from these two things. Therefore, Li Er was curious at first about why people didn't like to eat them.
The taste should be said to be quite good. Besides, they are all ordinary people at the bottom, so the taste should not be that tricky. However, Li Er soon realized that the people who don't like to eat and the one who doesn't like to eat are not the same thing.
.
Although I am not a scholar, I have read a lot since I was a child. Of course, the more important thing is that I was born in the military aristocracy of Guanlong. Although I am not from the same group as those noble families, I do have good conditions, so I can get an education.
Opportunity.
For this reason, Li Er didn't know until later that potatoes and sweet potatoes were both artifacts to satisfy hunger, but in fact, the "density" of the physical strength they provided was not as good as that of sweet rice and dough. If we talk about the sweetness,
On the one hand, rice and dough are more durable and can support longer periods of physical work - this advantage is much more obvious.
Of course, potatoes and sweet potatoes are still high-quality foods and cannot be wasted. However, for ordinary people, if they have the conditions to eat rice and pasta, they must still eat rice and pasta as the main meals.
In other words, potatoes and sweet potatoes increased Datang's food reserve potential by several times astonishingly - rather than the food reserve itself, it meant that Datang's ability to cope with situations in critical moments was greatly increased, but for ordinary people
For the common people,
I will still choose to grow and eat rice and bread as much as possible. Of course.
Although the people do not eat potatoes and sweet potatoes as staple food, they actually eat a lot of them on weekdays. Then again, as the saying goes, the wisdom of the masses is infinite, although potatoes and sweet potatoes, especially this sweet potato, always feel...
It's not full enough, but since it's easy to plant, and it doesn't take much effort, it can open up large areas of wasteland.
Therefore, people still grow sweet potatoes and use sweet potatoes to tie livestock. When it comes to this use, not only the sweet potatoes themselves, but also the sweet potato vines and leaves can be used to feed livestock and poultry. This is also a way to increase income, but
For China as a whole, since farmers in the countryside have become a new way to increase income, having this thing alone is definitely not enough.
So now.
It is self-evident that the biological control technique can increase the production of all grains in China, including sweet potatoes and potatoes, by 30 to 40% at once. Its effect is huge!
Now that they understood Li Er's meaning and the memorial in their hands, one can imagine the shock in the hearts of Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, which was simply beyond words.
If the farming industry in the Tang Dynasty could really increase income in this way, things would be much easier to handle in the future. Not only would the endurance of the war between the northwest European continent and the Romans be greatly improved, but there would also be ways to increase income!
The reason is very simple. Such a huge income almost falls from the sky. As long as we organize it well, it is not a problem to significantly increase the income of farmers in the countryside. The most important thing is that with the help of this new agricultural technology, we can improve the income of farmers in the countryside.
Farmers in the country have divided labor among themselves, and the sources of money have been scattered, so it is not easy to fight.
This "biological control" strategy.
From the perspective of Li Er and others, it greatly improved the strategic confidence of China and Rome in the game at once, and also directly changed the state of civil governance in China! In other words, originally because of the military game with the Romans, the Tang Dynasty
Naturally, the treasury has become tense because of this - guns are very expensive! Such problems, as well as the economic fluctuations derived from them, as well as the various internal conflicts derived from economic fluctuations, are waiting to be solved at once!
How could Li Er and others not be excited about such an exciting thing - of course.
Because the war cannot be resolved quickly and at the same time, the struggle cannot be given up. After all, the Romans will definitely not give up eating the Tang Dynasty alive. This big contradiction is mainly caused by Li Er himself who often stays up all night. As for Wei Zheng, Fang Du and the like
Minister, though,
It is definitely not objective to say that these people are not loyal enough, or that they have no food. But to say that these ministers will be as ignorant as Li Er is to say that it is definitely nonsense and a deliberate exaggeration.
After all, the master is Li Er and no one else.
However, they were aware of Li Er's insomnia at least, and they naturally understood that this matter could not be so simple and just let it go. Since Li Er had been suffering from insomnia for such a long time, if it took a while, the lack of financial resources in the treasury could still be solved.
No, then,
There will definitely be a general eviction and a general dismissal in this court, which is also a big earthquake. By then, I don't know how many high-ranking officials will have to bid farewell to their positions, so everyone is still very concerned about it.
Then again, this was the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. For this group of people, even if there are no such visible contradictions, they still have to find some contradictions to resolve if they work hard to discover them. Not to mention Li Er's current mood
How bad.
As a result, all the elites and masters of the dynasty have not yet come up with any ideas.
