Great Tang Southern Emperor

This is a super high-yield grain. It is easy to harvest dozens of stones per mu, which is higher than the yield of corn-this is the yield without fertilization and management. If a little fertilizer is added, this amount is still to go up.

It was also because of the appearance of sweet potatoes that the population of the Qing Dynasty exploded—this was because the rule of the Qing Dynasty was not very popular, and the people were struggling to make a living. If the ruling class paid a little attention to people's livelihood, then in the late Qing Dynasty, the population It's definitely not as little as [-] million.

Otherwise, you can see that after the founding of New China, national leaders paid attention to people's livelihood, so the population increased from 49 billion in 54 to 77 billion in 94—an increase of 18 million in [-] years.

The same increase of 200 million, the Qing Dynasty took 18 years, but the new China only took [-] years - we must know that China's agriculture did not make great progress in the decades of war from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. In the early days of the new China, The conditions are not much better than those of the Qing Dynasty, at most it is just a little improvement in planting technology, and it may even be inferior to the Qing Dynasty in some aspects.

At this time, hearing the news about the super crop of sweet potatoes, everyone felt their blood surged and they started to get excited.

"Your Highness, is what you said true? Can that kind of sweet potato really produce tens of grains per mu?" Although he knew that he shouldn't doubt Li Zhen, Liu Rengui still asked: "Is there any real food in the American continent?" Do you have that kind of high-yield crop?"

"Of course it's true. Don't you believe me? When did I tell a lie? What's more, it's something recorded in the heavenly book." Li Zhen couldn't help but look at the people around him who wanted to believe but couldn't believe it. He moved out the heavenly book again.

Everyone believed it immediately.

But they were even more excited, and everyone began to fantasize about how to get the sweet potato seeds in their minds—if they didn't get the sweet potatoes to Datang, they would be sinners through the ages.

Liu Rengui was even more excited. He pulled out his sword and said with enthusiasm: "Your Highness, the commander of the Yuezhou Fleet will not be there, and the future admiral's subordinate will not be. I will not participate, and my subordinates in Australia will not go. I have decided to go to find America——I have decided that I must find America in this life, and I must find the sweet potato that His Highness said, so as to earn my life for the people of Tang Dynasty.

Even if I didn't get anything else in the Americas, this sweet potato alone is worth my subordinate's death... By the way, the boat is here, Your Highness, please forgive me for taking the liberty, I will go now. "

After finishing speaking, Liu Rengui took off his official hat and uniform, and took out the official seal of Yuezhou Governor. Then he walked to the boat in his underwear, held his sword in high spirits, and said as he walked, "Your Highness, please don't persuade me This subordinate, this subordinate has just made an oath in my heart, if I don’t find America in this life, if I don’t welcome back the sweet potato seeds, this subordinate will never go ashore in this life.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I will not be an official anymore, please let my subordinates go to America."

"Wait a minute, Dudu Liu, the junior is also willing to go with you."

"Your Highness, please forgive my subordinate... Oh no, please forgive the student for being rude, the student will go now."

"That's right, Your Highness, the reason why students become officials is because they want to do something for the common people in the world. Now that they have such a good goal, students can't let it go."

"..."

Looking at the people who took off their official hats, uniforms and official seals, Li Zhen was speechless: "But the American Palace only knows one name, and knows that it is on the other side of the sea, and there is no information about the rest. When are you going to find out?" ? Besides, you all went to find the New World, and the positions you left behind are vacant, what should I do?"

"At worst, it will take a lifetime. Just like Liu Dudu said, if you can't find a new continent, students will never go ashore for life." Nanhai County Magistrate, Luo Pingchuan, a young talent who was also from Wentian Shuyuan, said firmly: "The students have already The official hat, official uniform and official seal are left behind, and the intention to go is already decided, so there is no need for His Highness to persuade you anymore."

Those who also came to watch the ceremony were also from Wentian Shuyuan. Guan Jiu, who had just been transferred to be the county magistrate of Panyu County, followed suit and said, "It is very, very extreme. Wentian Shuyuan has a lot of students, one less student is quite a few, and one more student is not many. But there are very few people who dare to go to sea to find the new continent—students do their part.”

"Brother Guan's words are quite to my liking. Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to serve you." Stimulated by his words, another person immediately took off his official uniform: "Students also feel that instead of being a seventh-rank junior Officer, it is better to do something more meaningful for Datang, so please forgive the student for taking the liberty..."

"The same goes for students..."

"I also ask Your Highness to grant you..."

"The student has made up his mind to go, His Highness doesn't need to persuade..."

"..."

"... Let me say, can you listen to what I have to say?" Looking at the people who looked at death like home, Li Zhen was both moved and funny in her heart. These are all patriots who threw their heads and blood for the country. But there are some things that cannot be accomplished with passion alone: ​​"Even if you want to go to America, you must at least make sufficient preparations, right?"

Chapter 806 Stupid B

Chapter 168 I'm a fool

"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions? If not, this subordinate is ready to sail... By the way, this subordinate just misunderstood Brother Wang Dewei, disrespected him so much and almost killed him. This subordinate is very sorry. It’s just that this subordinate is about to leave, and I’m afraid it’s too late to apologize to him, so please convey your apology to him.” Liu Rengui’s speed was the fastest, and at this time he had already run to the Emperor, laughing loudly Said: "I am willing to break my body and bones for the Tang Dynasty. If you want to come, your highness will not be stingy with such a boat, right? And all the colleagues below, you are willing to follow me. I, Liu Rengui, thank you here. Please get on the boat quickly. We It's ready to go."

"Oh……"

"Stop it all for me."

Li Zhen was angry, and pointed at Liu Rengui: "Liu Rengui, come down for me, aren't you going to sea to find sweet potatoes? Let me tell you, the sweet potatoes have already been sent by Wang Dewei, what's the use of you going there?"

"Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but the task of looking for sweet potatoes, I will definitely do my part..." Halfway through speaking, Liu Rengui suddenly got stuck.

Not only him, but also those enthusiastic youths who were about to board the boat or were taking off their clothes were also stunned.

Some people just opened their mouths because they were yelling, but they were startled by Li Zhen's words, and their already big mouths became even bigger, and then their jaws dislocated;

Someone was running, because Li Zhen's words stopped immediately, but because the potential energy was not eliminated, the whole person fell to the ground;

Some clothes were half taken off, because of this daze, the brain stopped moving, but the subconscious reaction of the body was still there. As a result, they tripped over the clothes and lost their balance, and fell heavily on the ground...

……

However, no matter what kind of reaction it was, there was silence on the pier, no one made a sound, everyone just stared at Li Zhen in a daze, and at the same time slowly reflected the meaning of Li Zhen's words in their hearts.

After a long time, Liu Rengui swallowed with difficulty, and asked with difficulty: "Your Highness...what do you mean by this statement?"

"That's what you think." Li Zhen said angrily: "I said, can you stop being so passionate? You didn't even finish listening to Bengong... Why do you think Bengong introduced this sweet potato? It's because The group of people rescued by Wang Dewei and the others are Indians from America, and the very delicious red food in his mouth is probably sweet potato."

"what?"

"So I said, can you listen to what people have to say? You didn't understand what you said, and you made a decision on your own, are you an idiot now?" Seeing everyone's distressed look, Li Zhen wanted to laugh, but as a superior, It is a big taboo to laugh at subordinates, you can only hold your smile in your heart, not only can't laugh, but he also has to show an angry look at this time...

But this made Li Zhen suffer—this also caused him to have a very strange expression at this time, his face was distorted, his nose wrinkled from time to time, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching... Those who know the inside story are fine, but those who don't know I thought he was epileptic.

"Then why..." Liu Rengui asked again.

"Why didn't I explain it directly?" Li Zhen interrupted Liu Rengui and asked the question instead.

Then he replied to himself: "Because I am clearing Wang Dewei's grievances. Look at your appearance just now, and you can't wait to send Uncle Wang directly to the [-]th floor of hell. It seems that they didn't offend you, right? Not only did they not offend you?" Offended, but also made great contributions to Datang, and in the end, these ships are all under your control. It can be said that not only does Uncle Wang have no hatred for you, but he has great favors. People die."

"Subordinate..." Liu Rengui showed a trace of guilt on his face. It was indeed as Li Zhen said, Wang Dewei did not have any hatred for him, on the contrary, he was kind to him, but he completely hated him just because of one sentence of Uncle Wang. People—speaking of which, he is also meddling in other people's business, so he can call Li Zhenai whatever he wants, so what does it matter to him?

Not to mention calling someone uncle, even if it is called uncle, then Li Shimin and Zong Zheng are in charge. What is hindering Liu Rengui?

In the end, he was fine, he just forgot Wang Dewei's kindness to him, and wanted to kill him in one breath, isn't this too lenient?

When Li Zhen brought it up at this time, Liu Rengui felt very guilty, and wanted to say something sorry, but was interrupted again by Li Zhen.

"Don't be subordinate, listen to me." Li Zhen said angrily: "So after learning about the sweet potato, I will of course explain to you one by one in detail what the sweet potato is, so that you don't think that my palace Is it favoring Uncle Wang?

In the end, you guys are doing well, the explanation is clear, but your reactants are a little too big, right?Haven't you thought about it, there are so many high-yielding crops on the American continent, why did I only mention one sweet potato? "

"..." Everyone was embarrassed, their reaction just now was indeed a bit too big.

But we can’t blame them, they are sweet potatoes. It is said that one mu of land can grow dozens of stones of sweet potatoes. In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was about [-] kilograms. One hundred catties.

Such output in ancient times, who can stand it?

Everyone has to go crazy.

You know, how much grain was produced in the Tang Dynasty?

"New Book of Tang Shihuo Zhi" contains: "With Han Chonghua as Zhenwu, Yingtian in the west of Beijing, Hebuy, and water transport envoys, 30 villages are recruited, with 850 people in each village, and 20 mu of people farming,... ...more than 1 hectares of land have been cultivated, and the annual harvest of millet is 950 shi." Based on the calculation of the materials, the farmers have cultivated a total of 1025 hectares, and the combined yield per mu is [-] shi.

"Tongjian" said: "In Yuanhezhong, Zhenwu cultivated 1 hectares of land and harvested more than [-] dendrobium." The yield per mu is about [-] stone.
