Seeing Zhao Che's appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Isn't the potatoes ripe? I'm digging potatoes with Zodiac."

"Are the potatoes ripe?"

Hearing Zhao Che's words, Ying Zheng's face immediately beamed with joy.

He has been thinking about these potatoes for a long time, and it happened that today he came to find Zhao Che just for food, which is not a coincidence.

"Yes, the potatoes in the three-acre field are all ripe, do you want to come over and have a look?"

"Only three acres of land?"

Ying Zheng frowned, how much can be planted in these three acres of land, even if they are all dug out, it may not be enough to feed the army.

"After all, it was planted in the vegetable garden at home, but the Guishou people in Jingshui also planted a lot. This time, more or less, they can probably get tens of thousands of shi of potatoes."

"How many stones?"

Hearing this number, Ying Zheng was shocked.

"Yeah, because potatoes are something I haven't exposed yet, so the heads of Guizhou around the basic mountain all plant half an acre of vegetables in their own vegetable gardens, so they don't need to pay taxes, and the variety is all their own. of."

"That's how much a family planted in half an acre?"

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng was even more shocked now.

A family can grow so much, and they can harvest so much in one season, so if they are promoted on a large scale, it will be impossible to go to heaven, right?
"Che'er, quickly take us to see the potato you planted."

Ying Zheng couldn't hold back anymore, this time he had to get that potato from Zhao Che.

"Okay, you come with me!"

Zhao Che didn't hide anything, and immediately brought the two of them to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

At this time, the Chinese zodiac signs and the people in the house were all bending over to dig potatoes in the ground. When they pulled up a potato plant, at least two or three large pieces could be brought under it.

Each potato, the lightest one weighs about half a catty.

"So these are potatoes?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help admiring the work of digging potatoes.

When he and Meng Yi saw these potatoes in the backyard before, they thought they were some kind of weeds, but they didn't expect that so many fairy potatoes could grow under these weeds.

"Yes, the fruits of potatoes grow in the ground, and planting is very simple. Basically, you don't need to worry too much. You just need to plant the seeds, sprinkle some fertilizer, and you can harvest in four to five months. At most, you can harvest them in a year." Plant three seasons."

"However, the winter in our north is a bit bitter and cold. Potatoes basically cannot grow in winter. If the temperature is relatively high in the south, it can be easily grown for three seasons."

"It can mature in four to five months, and it can be planted three seasons a year. The yield is still so high, and the method of planting is so simple. Isn't this fairy food?"

Ying Zheng was both excited and regretful.

If Zhao Che had brought out the potato fairy food earlier, would Daqin still need to worry about the lack of food?Will he still worry about the lack of food and grass for the army?
"Che'er, how many potatoes do you have in total now?"

"I don't have a lot of reserves in my hand. Over the years, I probably saved a dozen or two million stones."

Zhao Che stroked his chin and roughly calculated.

"Che'er, how about using this potato instead of food? Maybe we can try to promote planting on a large scale."

"Although the yield of potatoes is high, their nutritional value is not good, and they are good enough to fill the stomach. It is impossible to replace corn as a food. As for the large-scale promotion of planting, it is not yet possible. If the emperor finds out, we will not be able to keep it."

"As long as you can fill your stomach, you can rest assured that you are worried about being discovered. I guarantee that it will only be planted secretly."
