It¡¯s finally time to meet Zhenzhang!
In fact, Fang Jifan was a little nervous. Although the potatoes had gone through a round of breeding, Fang Jifan knew that the potatoes of this era were obviously far different from those of later generations.
Fang Jifan rolled up his sleeves himself, and all the captains were sharpening their swords.
Zhang Xin looked solemn and personally ordered people to dismantle the greenhouse, revealing an acre of potato fields.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at this green field with profound eyes.
Someone was whispering behind him, seeming to be a little suspicious of the potato field.
Is this really the staple food?
At this time, someone had already moved a large scale, and there were scribes from Qianhu Office on one side to prepare records.
Everything was ready, but Fang Jifan did not intend to be a bystander. He squatted down and dug out the first potato plant from the ground.
This is a bunch of fruit bigger than an egg. After gently digging it out, the captain on the side immediately took it from Fang Jifan's hand, held it with both hands, and slowly walked to the other side.
The scribe began to weigh the scales: "Three catties and six taels!"
Then, more than a dozen school captains went to the ground together and began to dig out strings of potatoes on the ground. The number of potatoes reported by the clerk was also increasing, and there were even many that had not been weighed in time, so they were piled aside.
"Three stones"
When the scribe reported the three stones, Emperor Hongzhi's pupils had already begun to shrink.
The staple food three stones This means that its output has begun to exceed that of rice in the south.
Doesn¡¯t it mean thatwith sweet potatoes and potatoes, Ming Dynasty can solve the problem of food shortage once and for all?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
Now, the pitiful yields of rice and wheat alone are indeed stretched. And if three stones of staple food can be grown in the desert and Liaodong, how many people can be fed?
¡°It¡¯s just that obviously¡it¡¯s not over yet.
There are many potatoes piled on the side, and the digging of potatoes in the ground continues.
"Five stones!"
When this number was reported, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others almost felt like they were going crazy and their scalps were numb.
Five stonesit's five stones
This yield is more than double that of rice in the entire south. This yield per mu is already terrifying.
This is the staple food.
Emperor Hongzhi involuntarily stepped on the mud, stepped forward, and then walked behind Fang Jifan, and then bowed slightly, as if he wanted to see clearly how Fang Jifan dug out the potatoes one by one.
I saw Fang Jifan gently pulling out layers of floating soil with his hands, and then a fruit appeared, connected to the root, followed by the second and third, and a large bunch of potatoes was gently pulled out by Fang Jifan. .
Emperor Hongzhi already felt that his mind was completely messed up.
His Majesty was stunned, but Liu Jian and others were not much better. When the clerk reported the ten stones, the air suddenly became quiet.
What does ten stones mean?
This means that with the existing land, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s grain production can be tripled.
Three times.
"That's fine. The most important thing is, if it can be grown in Liaodong and the desert, how much more food can be produced and how many people can be fed?"
This is almost unimaginable. Sweet potatoes are enough to prevent famines in the Ming Dynasty, and potatoes can feed everyone in the world.
Liu Jian suppressed his excitement and kept staring at the scale, for fear that someone would tamper with it.
However, the process of harvesting potatoes is still going on. The potatoes, which are as big as a hill next to them, are being weighed one by one, in an endless stream, which is dizzying.
"Fifteen stones!"
The Hanlin bachelor had already covered his heart, feeling that his heart was beating too hard.
His head was buzzing. Is this considered an era of great rule? Oh no no, no, his expression changed.
In this moment of thought, he thought of a very terrible thing.
You have to repair your books. You have to repair your books and return to your hometown quickly. The Shen family is a rich family. It is one of the first-class households in the township. It has thousands of hectares of fertile land. This is the ancestral business of the Shen family and is the foundation.
Since the Chenghua Year, as the world has become more peaceful, the population has increased. There are more people but less land, which has led to the continuous rise in land prices.??¡
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes were a little red, not because he wanted to cry, but because he was so excited that he couldn¡¯t restrain himself.
Xiao Jing, who was on the side, happily followed His Majesty in peeling potatoes. When he saw His Majesty like this, he stopped and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majestythis is a great gift from God to Your Majesty"
Xiao Jing lowered his voice and said to Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi finally came to his senses, then glanced at Fang Jifan and the others, and continued digging silently.
When the number reached thirty-three stones, everything came to an end.
Fang Jifan felt a little pain in his waist. Only then did he realize how Zhang Xin and Zhu Houzhao felt. Farming was really hard.
He stood up tremblingly with the help of a captain, breathing heavily.
Thirty-three stones can be said to be much more than I expected.
Of course, there is also moisture in these thirty-three stones. For example, the potatoes were not washed when they were put on the scale, so there was a lot of mud on them.
Another example is that there are many spoiled potatoes, and they don¡¯t need to be put on the scale.
The real amount, which can be called food, is probably only twenty-three or four stones.
But so what? Whether it is a general number or a precise number, this number has swept everything, far exceeding all staple foods in the eyes of the Ming emperors and ministers.
Fang Jifan couldn¡¯t help but cheer in his heart, great job!
This sentence refers to Fang Jifan himself. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
