Chapter 334 King, it can be counted as five stones per mu
"Your Majesty, what a great harvest!"
After weighing and counting all the rice, Li Chang also grinned, his face full of excitement, and he was no longer as calm as before.
Li Xuan couldn't help but ask: "How many kilograms of millet were harvested in total?"
"Back to the king, we have harvested a total of 2,800 shi of rice!"
"Two thousand eight hundred stones?"
Li Xuan looked stunned for a moment, then his face was full of joy.
"So, the yield is four stones per mu?"
In the past, paddy fields were always called thousand acres of paddy fields, but in fact there were only 800 acres of paddy fields, divided into 200 small paddy fields, each of which was four acres in size.
Moreover, among these 200 paddy fields, there are still 20 paddy fields where grapes and vegetables are grown.
Therefore, this paddy field is actually only 720 acres.
You must know that in this era, the yield of fields in the north is generally one to two stones per mu, and only those rich paddy fields in the south or Shandong can achieve the yield of three stones per mu.
And now, the paddy fields he has reclaimed from wasteland can actually reach four stones!
It seems that those fish daddies are quite effective.
"call……"
Thinking about it, Li Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, next year the two thousand acres of wasteland purchased by Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde can be planted according to the paddy field model.
"Congratulations to the king, the yield is four stones per mu!"
"Your Majesty, the yield per mu is four stones, four stones..."
After Li Chang finished speaking, all the dealers in the village said to Li Xuan with excitement.
"Um!"
Regarding this, Li Xuan was a little excited inside.
However, he still looked blank.
"It is certainly a good thing to produce four stones per mu, but you must not forget the big fat fish in the paddy fields. Why can't a paddy field produce four hundred kilograms of fat fish?"
"That's really true!"
Hearing this, all the bankers couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, everyone's faces became even more shocked.
"Your Majesty, this can be regarded as an output of five stones per mu!"
"Yes, five stones. Your paddy field yields five stones per mu!"
"Hahaha, five stones..."
Suddenly, everyone began to be ecstatic.
"What five stones?"
Suddenly, a doubtful voice came from outside the crowd, making Li Xuan and all the dealers stunned.
All the dealers turned to look.
When they saw who was coming, these dealers were all shocked again.
Then, there was great joy again.
"His Majesty?"
"See Your Majesty!"
Ever since Li Shimin brought his large family to Lijiazhuang for summer vacation, most of the farmers in the village have gotten to know His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.
"What five stones?"
Li Shimin asked curiously, and at the same time his eyes couldn't help but look at the rice piled aside.
"Your Majesty, this is the king's paddy field, and the yield can reach five stones per mu!" an old farmer said with a happy face.
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Wei and others were all shocked.
Immediately, Li Wei yelled loudly: "You old farmer, what nonsense are you talking about? If a saint talks nonsense in front of you, you will be regarded as deceiving the emperor!"
When his son was born, these old farmers helped the Li Wang family a lot, so Li Wei did not want these old farmers to be executed by His Majesty just because of a word.
At the same time, Li Shimin also stared closely at the old farmer.
Five stones, that is no joke.
Now when the Tang Dynasty can only produce three stones per mu, let alone five stones per mu, even if someone grows a good seed with four stones per mu, Li Shimin can give that person a title.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is absolutely true!"
The old farmer said quickly.
"Um?"
At this time, Li Shimin couldn't help but look moved, and quickly looked at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, is this true?"
There is no room for Li Shimin not to be nervous. In this kind of farming society, food is everything.
The current yield is three or two stones per mu. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, more than half of the people can be fed.
If the yield per mu was five stones, Li Shimin could guarantee that even if there were natural or man-made disasters, the people of the Tang Dynasty would be able to have enough to eat.
Even, not only can you eat well, but you can also be wealthy.
"Your Majesty, it can be said that the yield is five stones per mu, but that is plus the water fish in the fields."
Li Xuan naturally knew what Li Shimin expected, but he needed to be realistic.
"Please Xuan Ba explain it clearly."
Li Shimin still believed Li Xuan's words.
"Your Majesty, one acre of rice can produce four shi of rice, plus a paddy field can raise 400 kilograms of fat fish, so it can be counted as five shi of rice per acre!"
Li Xuan slowly explained.
"I see!"
After listening, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.
Immediately, he reacted and looked at Li Xuan with a shocked expression.
"Xuanba, what you just said is that the yield of rice per mu is four stones?"
Similarly, the faces of Li Wei around him were full of shock.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "The rice I planted, if the housekeeper's calculation is correct, should yield four stones per mu!"
Hearing this, Li Chang's face became anxious and he shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have already calculated it three times, and I will definitely not make a mistake!"
At this moment, Li Shimin had knelt down, grabbed a handful of rice, and looked at it carefully.
"I didn't expect that this kind of rice could produce four stones per hour..."
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression condensed, he put the rice in front of his eyes and examined it carefully for a long time.
Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, are these rice grains slightly larger than the previous ones?"
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly.
"Your Majesty, these rice plants have been watered by the river since they were seedlings, and there are hundreds of small fish that poop on them, fertilize them, and even catch insects and weeds. Therefore, this rice grows better than other rice.
The particles are plump and huge, which is natural!”
"So, is it true that the yield of four stones per mu is true?"
Li Shimin's face still showed a hint of surprise.
"It's true!"
Li Xuan nodded.
"Very good! Hahaha..."
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
After standing up, I still held a handful of rice in my hand and was reluctant to put it down.
"Xuanba, can these rice be used for breeding?"
"Of course you can!"
Li Xuan nodded, "But there is not enough food in the village. Your Majesty wants to use these rice for breeding, so you need to exchange it for food!"
"As it should be!"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, "Xuanba can prepare a hundred stones of breeding for me first, and I will send someone to deliver the food when I go back."
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards Chang'an City with Li Wei.
"King?"
Seeing this, Li Chang quickly looked at Li Xuan.
"Prepare a hundred stones for breeding for Your Majesty!" Li Xuan nodded.
"yes!"
Li Chang responded and quickly directed several farmers to start preparing for breeding.
Half an hour later, the guards came to report that a motorcade had arrived outside the village.
Regardless, since the convoy was composed of four-wheeled carriages, the guards were not much alert. The reason why they came to report to Li Xuan was because the leader was Sinong Qing.
It was probably the first time for Sinong Qing to come to Lijiazhuang. These guards were not sure whether the king would let him in, so they asked for instructions.
However, when Li Xuan heard this, he knew that Sinong Qing should have been sent by Li Shimin, so he nodded directly.
The guards surrendered and left.
After a while, a motorcade filled with fresh rice slowly drove into Lijiazhuang.
"Your Majesty Wei Shu has met His Highness the King of Jin!"
A middle-aged man with a long beard walked over quickly and saluted Li Xuan.
"Get up!"
Li Xuandan responded in a loud voice.
"Thank you, His Highness King Jin!"
Wei Shu felt relieved. After standing up, he quickly looked at Li Xuan.
