Chapter 345

In the Song Dynasty, the staple food in the north was composed of wheat, millet, millet, millet, and sorghum. Because of the backward agricultural technology, the yield per mu was mostly one to two hundred catties.

Even considering the difference between Song Mu and Song Jin, the yield per mu is only around [-] Jin.

The yield per mu is a thousand catties, which is a number that is unimaginable.

If the output can be so high, it is equivalent to three times the area of ​​cultivated land, and there will be no more famine in the whole country.

"Mother, is this... is this true?" The roe deer Cao Ye picked up the corn and looked at this strange fruit, trembling with excitement.

The widow Chen said: "No mistake, if managed properly, it is possible to produce [-] catties per mu. However, the planting technology in your era is too poor to achieve such a high yield, but six to seven hundred catties per mu is light. Take it easy."

(Note: About 680 grams per catty in the Song Dynasty)
"Oh my god, this is auspiciousness!" Wei Nancheng fell to his knees with a plop, and said, "Auspiciousness comes out, the country will prosper, and I congratulate the country of Yizhou and the lord of the country!"

"Cut, a thousand catties is auspicious?" The widow Chen Nuzui said dismissively, "See that round thing, it's more productive, and one mu of land can produce three to five thousand yuan." catty!"

"What?" Wei Nancheng didn't call Xiangrui this time, but became paralyzed.

Although he is a businessman, the Song people are based on agriculture, know the yield of one mu of land, and know what increased yield means to the people.

The yield per mu is five thousand catties, which means that only one mu of land is enough for a family of ten or so people to live for a year.

But in this era, each household has an average of dozens of acres of land!
"Won't five thousand catties scare you out?" Widow Chen laughed and said, "It's called potatoes. It can be eaten as a staple food or as a vegetable. Remember the pork stewed vermicelli on the construction site, that kind of vermicelli is It’s made with potato flour. Remember the last time you met Qiuyue, you ate that long and thin dish, you said it was white jade strips, but it was actually shredded potatoes.”

"I... actually ate so many fairy fruits!" Wei Nancheng didn't know how to express his gratitude.

"Oh, it's broken!" Suddenly the roe deer Cao jumped up, trembling with the potato in his hand: "This is the seed of the fairy grass, but it was boiled... My God, if it wasn't boiled, in time, there would be no hungry people in the world." When the people are full, there will be no more wars!"

When the roe deer Cao said this, the others were frightened, and they held the corn and potatoes as if they were holding a mountain.

"Eat, eat, there are plenty of these things." Widow Chen said: "Master Wei, Master Cao, this is my plan."

Wei Nancheng and the roe deer Cao suddenly became serious, and both knelt down on the ground.

The widow Chen said: "Master Cao, you are also the Minister of Agriculture. I want you to measure the land and count the population. In the spring of next year, try to plant [-] mu of corn and [-] mu of potatoes in the territory of Yizhou. Is there any problem?"

"I'm so heartbroken, I have to complete the task of the mistress! One hundred thousand acres of potatoes, one hundred thousand acres of corn, one point less, I will come to see you!"

"What do I want your head for?" The widow Chen smiled and said, "Master Wei, as the minister of industry and commerce, you will open up new sources of income and purchase a large amount of grain from now on. Within three hundred miles, use your previous business Spread the news to me, saying that Yizhou State buys a large amount of grain to accommodate refugees, how much there is, how much it wants!"

Wei Nancheng said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord, there are rare treasures provided by the lord, and a million catties of grain is no problem!"

"A million catties is not enough, at least a million stones." The widow Chen shook her head and said, "At present, the population of Yizhou has reached 600, and there will be [-] people from the Wing Barracks soon. Five thousand family members, this is for food."

3 people, only 100 million catties of grain, is indeed not enough to eat.

But this is the initial goal of the widow Chen. She continued: "After one month of fighting, there will be 5 people in the territory of Yizhou. After three months, there will be 10 people in the territory of Yizhou. Maybe next year the corn and potatoes will be harvested." In the season, there will be 30, 40 people!"

This is a snowballing figure, and Jiang Xiaobai has to admire the widow Chen Xiang's foresight.

Tossing out antique jade articles and buying food and clothes from the 21st century for the people of Yizhou is just a stopgap measure.

Once the population increases, only two or six small time-space exits can transport supplies, and there is simply no way to manage the hundreds of thousands of mouths.

What's more, Yi County is only a big place, and if the food stations over there are all emptied, there is not enough food for these people.

Thousands of tons of grain suddenly disappeared. It would be impossible if the relevant departments did not come to investigate.

High-yield crops such as corn and potatoes were introduced to China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and indirectly led to the population explosion in the Qing Dynasty.

And chili was also introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Although it was not easy to be accepted by people at first, it will completely change the taste buds of Chinese people after a long time, and may even become a luxury in this era.

According to historical records, the first southern invasion of the Jin soldiers will not start until after next autumn. If this is true, by that time, there will be at least 20 people in Yizhou, and 20 people will be well fed and healthy. , will definitely become the backbone to prevent Jin Bing from going south!
The lamb chops were roasted, the widow Chen divided the meat, sat opposite Jiang Xiaobai, and asked, "Xiao Baibai, do you have anything to add?"

Feeling ashamed, Jiang Xiaobai passed a lamb chop with both hands, and said, "It's a wise choice to let you be the guardian of Yizhou. With you here, I can rest assured."

"The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel." The widow Chen took a bite of lamb chops and said, "We are short of time. If the plan is interrupted by the war, everything will be a fantasy."

Jiang Xiaobai knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll go back to Baozhou after dinner, and stop the forbidden army from making trouble again."

"The army from Baozhou won't come, the army from Zhuozhou won't come? The army from Yanshan Mansion won't come? Where's the army from Jin State in Xinzhou to the north?" Widow Chen smiled bitterly and said, "We are surrounded by enemies. , Survival in Yizhou is not easy!"

Jiang Xiaobai was silent, because what the widow said was true.

Yizhou City was occupied by Jiang Xiaobai. The reason why it has not been attacked for half a month is that the army of Baozhou (belonging to Zhending Mansion) was resolved by himself, and the reason why the troops of Yanshan Mansion and Xinzhou did not come , because the war in Pingzhou is tight, and we can't control so much.

Now that the Battle of Pingzhou is over, Zhang Jue was beheaded, and Yelu Zonghan led his troops to the north, will the Song army who has freed up his hand still let Yizhou go?
"End war with war!" Jiang Xiaobai is not a strategist, let alone a politician. He is just a soldier who believes in the law that the strong is king. If they come with an army of [-], they will collapse in an instant!"

"You are just a bad plan!" The widow Chen Chong Yelu Yuzhu pouted, and said, "If you can satisfy Miss Yuzhu tonight, she has a clever plan!"

"A trick?"
