Chapter 27 Great Reduction In Production, 3,000 Catties Per Mu, Only 600 Catties Left?

There was a pause.

Ying Zheng continued with a complicated expression.

[Ying Zheng]: But my people can still fill their stomachs.

his words.

It shocked the people of the original world.

How can this be!

There was a severe drought, and the whole Qin State was in famine.

Can your people still have enough to eat?

on screen.

Qin, which changed the world, also suffered from a severe drought.

same.

Ying Zheng took his ministers to the countryside to inspect the cultivated land.

Under the scorching sun.

People walk between heaven and earth.

Looking at the vast land, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"There is a severe drought."

He sighed deeply.

As a king.

It is necessary to pay attention to the weather.

aside.

The township head in charge of food tax also introduced.

"King."

"It's supposed to be a rainy season, but it hasn't rained for two months."

"The minister predicts that this year's grain production will be greatly reduced."

smell this.

The gloom on Ying Zheng's face grew a little more.

"So, for a sweet potato with a yield of 6,000 per mu, it is only possible to produce 2,000 per mu?"

aside.

The mayor nodded.

"According to what the eldest son said, if there is enough rain to produce 3,000 per mu, then, now that there is a severe drought, it can only produce 600 per mu."

hear this.

Ying Zheng was heartbroken immediately.

Three thousand to six hundred!

too painful!

but.

Conversation between several people.

Heard by the people of the original world.

When they heard that sweet potatoes could yield 3,000 per mu, everyone was skeptical.

[Hu Hai]: What is sweet potato?

[Xia Wuqi]: Three thousand per mu? How can this be!

[Li Si]: People's rice is only two hundred catties per mu. How can there be three thousand catties per mu in the world?

[Zhao Gao]: It's fake! What is sweet potato, I have never heard of it!

same.

Ying Zheng was also full of persecution.

Three thousand catties per mu? !

My culture is not low, don't lie to me, is this really possible?

[Ying Zheng]: This is the first time I've heard of sweet potatoes. Is it really so magical?

...................

change the world.

See the other party question.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

[Ying Zheng]: Sweet potatoes are a new grain that Ze'er accidentally discovered when he was out for fun. After Ze'er improved it, he could produce 3,000 catties per mu.

in the picture.

It's time to harvest grain.

Ying Zheng came to inspect again.

I see.

In the crop fields, the arable land with red paths and green leaves has been dug up by the people.

Attached to the vine are all red fruits.

Although not as big and round as the sweet potatoes shown by Zhao Ze, even these small sweet potatoes already look very pleasing!

Picking sweet potatoes for the first time.

The people were also extremely shocked.

at first.

The son Zhao Ze said that this sweet potato can produce 3,000 catties per mu, and they didn't believe it.

now.

One mu of land is harvested.

Roughly speaking!

It was as high as more than six hundred catties!

This number is really terrifying!

The rice that the people usually grow, the annual output of one mu of land, is only 250 catties.

But this sweet potato!

The yield per mu is more than twice that of rice!

Another thing to note is that.

This is 600 catties obtained under the severe drought and greatly reduced grain production!

In other words.

The people are not only free from famine now.

Also ushered in a double harvest!

Come to the weights.

Ying Zheng asked with a smile on his face: "How, how much grain has been harvested on this mu of land?"

The old farmer who was picking sweet potatoes said happily.

"Back to the king!"

"Just after weighing, the grain harvested from this mu of land is 650 catties!"

"The next mu of land harvested five hundred and eighty catties!"

"One acre of land planted with sweet potatoes is equivalent to two acres of land planted with rice!"

The old farmer was too excited.

He didn't even want to pay attention to Ying Zheng, and just wanted to move his sweet potatoes home quickly.

"Wait, give the widow a taste."

Ying Zheng quickly called the other party to stop.

The old farmer was in a good mood, and he didn't care about it at the moment. He took the smallest sweet potato and gave it to Ying Zheng.

Staring at the sweet potato stained with dirt in his hand.

Ying Zheng swallowed.

He hasn't had sweet potatoes in months.

Last time.

It was Zhao Ze who cut a small piece for him to taste it in order to reassure him.

otherwise.

He couldn't eat a bite.

It was also because of the taste of sweet potatoes that Ying Zheng was relieved and began to promote sweet potatoes in Qin State.

"My lord, is this a sweet potato?"

Zhao Gao swallowed secretly.

At first.

He watched with his own eyes as Zhao Ze fed a piece of sweet potato to Ying Zheng.

Look at Ying Zheng's amazed expression.

Zhao Gao knew it.

Sweet potatoes are definitely a good thing, at least they taste good!

There are so many people present.

Except for Ying Zheng and Zhao Ze, no one has heard of it, but has never tasted it.

See people's longing.

Ying Zheng broke the sweet potatoes into several small pieces and distributed them to Li Si and Zhao Gao.

Then.

Simply wipe the dirt.

Ying Zheng bit down!

immediately.

Juice splashes everywhere!

The entrance is crisp!

And there is a scent and sweetness of tapioca!

immediately.

All the monarchs and ministers stared wide-eyed, with green light shining in their eyes.

To know.

In the ancient times when materials were scarce.

Sugar is a rarity!

It takes a lot of grain to refine it.

A pinch of sugar.

It often takes more than ten catties of grain!

Ordinary people can't afford it.

But this sweet potato.

An acre of land produces six hundred catties, each of which is sweeter than Paris!

In their eyes, nature is a rare good thing!
