The surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of breathing remaining.
Fujiwara Kanaga's whole body trembled at this moment, which shocked everyone else around him.
"Sweet! Hahahaha! Sweet! Sweet!" Fujiwara Kanaga seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy, holding the half piece of potato in his hand as if it were a treasure, like a pilgrimage.
This was the first time he felt such sweetness. The last time he went to Kamito, he had the honor to taste the maltose that only the emperor could enjoy. The taste was something he would never forget, but now, this ugly thing actually made him feel that way again. A sweet taste that makes your brain tremble.
This is actually due to the special reasons of this land. The productivity of Sakura Country is extremely low. In addition, coupled with the fall outside the city, Levi, the head of the Fujiwara family, can barely eat enough. As for the others, I am afraid that only the emperor and Only a few people, including the shogun, could enjoy maltose made from wasted grain.
Even the nobles may not know what sweetness feels like in their entire lives, let alone the middle-class and lower-class civilians?
Sweetness is the biggest stimulating feedback engraved in human DNA, and even human beings' desire for sweetness is far stronger than any desire.
People who have never tasted sweetness in their lives will become addicted and even crazy after tasting it.
A chain reaction occurred, and more people began to look at the earthy yellow potatoes on the ground with fearful expressions. At this moment, they lost all expressions and could only look blankly at the potatoes in front of them.
"These are potatoes. Just think that I am getting food from the god Gao Tianyuan. This crop likes cold but not heat. It can grow smoothly even in frozen soil and is suitable for winter farming. Moreover, the yield per mu is twenty More than 2,000 kilograms of stone." Li Wei said.
In a previous life, cherry blossom-flavored potatoes could be grown in Siberia in a place that could even be called permafrost. The coldest weather in Kyoto in the winter, which only reached a few degrees below zero, was really not worth mentioning.
The people present felt as if thunder was falling from the sky, and some even opened their mouths as if they were demented.
At present, the grain yield in Kyoto is only about three hundred kilograms per mu, which is a little more than two stones. When Li Wei said that the yield of potatoes is more than ten times that of grains, everyone thought he was talking about a myth.
"Master...Master, did you say it wrong? It was two stones, not twenty stones..." Someone said tremblingly, as if he wanted to correct Li Wei's mistake.
"No, you heard it right, the yield is twenty stones per mu. The yield can even be even more." Li Wei said, thinking secretly in his heart, but the land needs to be fertile enough.
"Hiss..." The whole room could only hear the sound of gasping for air, and in my heart I was filled with wonder, and the stormy waves stirred up, and I didn't dare to move at all.
"So, I asked, if I leave this crop to you, can I eat Kyoto?" Levi glanced around and said.
No one answered Li Wei. They were confused at the moment and didn't believe it. They couldn't believe it at all. This was too shocking for people like them who lived in the island country, and they couldn't believe it when it was related to myths.
"Then first select a piece of land annexed by the Fujiwara family and plant it. You will understand it naturally after two months. From today on, all of you will follow my way and eat Kyoto for me! Do you understand?" Li Wei finally asked.
"Hayin..."
After the Fujiwara family meeting ended, Li Wei handed over a dozen potatoes to the branch family members.
After Li Wei had arranged some things, he started to raid the homes of those nobles. They actually dared to play economic leverage and monopoly under his eyes, and they still attacked food and took advantage of the situation. Li Wei thought they should all be killed.
.
No, it would be too wasteful to kill them. Let’s use them all to plant potatoes in the winter, so that the cherry blossom-flavored potatoes can bring warmth to Kyoto in this cold winter.
Maybe it was just like Qianji said, after coming to this world and experiencing some things, he changed and became cruel.
Levi came to the hall next to his room, where Fujiwara Chihime was waiting for him. Not only that, there was also a girl with short black hair, who was fiddling with her hair in boredom.
"Brother, this is the helper I found for you, Fujiwara Miko, the illegitimate daughter you killed before who was waiting outside with a geisha for Fujiwara Fubi. This time I asked her to help.
They manage the potato cultivation you mentioned." Chihime Fujiwara introduced.
"Huh? Fujiwara Fubi, who?" Levi really didn't remember this person. He had killed too many people, and few of them left an impression on him.
And he looked at this girl. She had short black hair and was dressed in coarse cloth. She looked several years younger than Chiki Fujiwara, and she didn't look like a noble child of the Fujiwara family at all.
Although Li Wei is currently short of manpower, Li Wei, a junior high school student who looks to be about fourteen years old, really doesn't think he can be of much help.
"He is a rotten person anyway. It doesn't matter whether you kill him or not. I just came here to make a living at the request of Sister Chiki." The girl named Miko Fujiwara came to Chiki Fujiwara and said.
Li Wei instantly felt a question mark. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his language proficiency (level D). Why did he suddenly translate a person named "Laozi" who claimed to be a girl who looked like a junior high school student?
.
Chiki Fujiwara directly hit her on the head, causing her to cover that area in pain. She said casually: "Brother, please don't mind, Miko was raised in a farmhouse since she was a child. She returned to the Fujiwara family only a few years ago.
She has not been fully exposed to family education. But she has been exposed to farm work since she was a child, so she should be able to help you."
"Sister Chiki, I just..." Before Miko Fujiwara could finish her words, she hit her on the head with another knife.
"Are you literate?" Li Wei didn't care about the girl's way of speaking that was incompatible with the aristocracy, he just asked.
"I know more than a hundred characters, and I can even read ancient books without any problem." Fujiwara Miko said directly.
"Okay." Levi directly reached out and took out a few books from the space. His requirements for people in this era have been very low. As long as they are individuals, living, and able to read, then come and work.
After all, in the entire Fujiwara family, even counting the branch families, there are only about ten people who can read.
In this sad age, anyone who can read is already a talented person. There is no one to choose him.
Two books were placed in front of her, one "Potato Planting Techniques" and one "Classical Composting Method". All were extracted from the artificial intelligence Yinwa information database and translated and printed using the simplest sentences in the world.
Crops like potatoes are good for everything, but they consume a lot of soil fertility, so his farm workers must at least learn the classical composting method.
"I don't care about birth, achievements, or age here. I only care about the potato harvest in two months. If the results satisfy me, your geisha mother can officially become a member of the Fujiwara family and become a noble."
Livy placed the two books in front of her and said,
"This is the book you need to study. Read it carefully. Also, change your self-proclaimed 'Lao Tzu' to 'I'. Although I don't like aristocratic classes, at least I have to speak in a normal way."
