Red Mansion: From Champion to King of Different Surnames.

After hearing this, Jia Yuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is full of respect for grain production. "

"What if the minister said that the yield of these crops can reach more than 30 stone per mu? "

Emperor Qianyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "Champion Hou, do you know what you're talking about?"

Jia Yuan said firmly: "Your Majesty, how dare the minister talk nonsense about such a big matter." "

"The yield of potatoes per mu is definitely more than 30 stones. "

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can pull out one now for you to see. "

Jia Yuan said as he squatted down and dug up the potatoes along the vines of the potato plant.

Emperor Qianyuan immediately followed and squatted down, and the Great Zhou Tianzi and the Great Zhou Champion Hou were like ordinary farmers at this time, carefully digging potatoes.

The two of them dug out five or six huge potatoes along a vine, which weighed twelve or thirteen pounds.

Emperor Qianyuan's voice trembled and pointed to the potatoes and said, "Champion Hou, this, is this the potato you are talking about?"

Jia Yuan nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this thing is a potato." "

Emperor Qianyuan took a general look, this greenhouse should be the size of two acres, and it is not a problem to plant five or six hundred potatoes in one acre.

Even if it is not like this potato, it can bear more than ten catties and a three-fold discount, and the yield per mu is at least two thousand catties.

After Emperor Qianyuan finished thinking, he asked expectantly, "Can this thing satisfy hunger?"

Jia Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we have dug this plant anyway, why don't we let the cook of the farm take care of it, let's taste it." "

Emperor Qianyuan nodded and said, "Okay, let the cook hurry up and serve it, I want to taste this artifact." "

Jia Yuan then left the greenhouse with Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Li and came to the main house of the farm.

After two quarters of an hour, the cook brought a few side dishes, as well as three boiled potatoes.

Jia Yuan pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Your Majesty, time is in a hurry, and the minister asked the cook to cook a few small dishes." "

"This is a cold shredded potato, the shredded potatoes are blanched in boiling water, and then supplemented with seasoning. "

"This is fried shredded potatoes, directly shredded potatoes, put them in the pot and stir-fry. "

"This is a potato cake, which is steamed and crushed into a puree, seasoned with an appropriate amount of flour, and directly spread into a potato cake. "

"The staple food is boiled potatoes, which can be eaten directly or dipped in seasonings. "

"Please taste it with your majesty and mother. "

Emperor Qianyuan nodded, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of cold shredded potatoes, only to feel crispy and delicious.

Then I took another bite of fried shredded potatoes and ate another potato cake.

Seeing this, Empress Li asked, "Your Majesty, how does this potato taste?"

Emperor Qianyuan pointed to the food while eating and said, "The queen will know if she tastes it." "

The queen picked up a boiled potato and was about to put it in her mouth, when Jia Yuan waved her hand and said, "Niangniang, it's best to remove this layer of skin on the outside." "

"Although this skin is also edible, it does not taste good. "

The queen nodded, then peeled off the skin of the potato, and after taking a light bite, she only felt that the potato tasted fragrant and glutinous, and she couldn't help but eat two more bites.

After the three of them ate a potato feast, Emperor Qianyuan Zhou Qing was very satisfied, because after he finished eating, he found that this potato could be eaten as a staple food, and the effect of satisfying hunger was very good.

What moved Emperor Zhou Qing the most was the huge yield of potatoes, and the most important thing in governing the world was that the common people ate.

It is an eternal truth that the people regard food as their heaven.

If the common people can't even eat, any courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and patriotism are all bullshit.

Lao Tzu is going to starve to death, who is in the mood to listen to your nonsense. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cang Liao is full of etiquette, and this is what he said.

Zhou Qing thought for a while and said, "Champion Hou, how long have you been planting this potato, do you have to start planting it in winter?"

Jia Yuan waved his hand and said, "Of course not, Your Majesty don't think that the ministers build a greenhouse to grow potatoes in winter, and think that this potato is difficult to feed." "

"Actually, it's not, potatoes are drought resistant and cold-resistant, and they are very easy to feed, not to mention the fertile soil of Kyoto, which is the mountainous area of Yunnan and Guizhou, and potatoes can also grow very well and have a high yield. "

According to the dealer who sold the potatoes to Chen, the best time to grow these potatoes should be in October in autumn and winter or March in spring. "

"The growing cycle is about three months, and there is no problem with planting two crops a year. "

After hearing this, Zhou Qing said: "So you don't hesitate to build a greenhouse, just hoping to catch up with the sowing period this spring, right?"

Jia Yuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, these divine objects are actually divine objects given to Da Zhou and given to Your Majesty by God. "

"The minister asks His Majesty to plant a large number of potatoes in the Huangzhuang this year, so that he can use it as a test field and grasp the yield of potatoes per mu. "

"The second is to summarize the planting experience and prepare for the large-scale promotion of potato planting in the future. "[]

He believed that different regions had different ways of managing crops, and that in addition to the north where Kyoto is located, the south should also find a place to use as a test field. "

In this way, potato cultivation can be better promoted, so that all the people in the world can feel that His Majesty is always concerned about their food problems. "

"Your Majesty's kindness can be popularized to every person of the Great Zhou. "

At this time, Emperor Qianyuan was already passionate and extremely excited in his heart.

As a standard emperor, he knew too well what potatoes meant.

If it is really according to what Jia Yuan said, the yield of potatoes in a cold land like Yungui can be so high, then the Qianyuan Emperor of the Southwest Rebellion is very sure that he will be able to calm down without blood.

After all, most of the barbarians in the southwest have submitted to the Great Zhou, and they are jumping back and forth, rebelling and surrendering, descending (Li Qianzhao) and rebelling, just to make a living.

The conditions in the southwest are treacherous, poisonous insects and beasts are rampant, the living conditions of the local people are extremely bad, and it is difficult to have a good harvest when planting crops.

If potatoes are popularized in the southwest and the kindness of the Great Zhou is widely spread to the public, the local people can eat enough, and they will naturally be able to settle down.

At that time, even if a few ambitious Tusi still wanted to make a rebellion, most of the people who could live and work in peace and contentment would not follow them to rebel against the Great Zhou.

In this way, for the rest of the Tusi, whether to kill or recruit An, it is just a sentence from Emperor Qianyuan.

And that's just a small benefit of promoting potatoes, which are drought and cold resistant in the long run, which means they are extremely resistant to natural disasters.

Therefore, planting potatoes, even if there is any extreme weather, will not become as unharvested as planting rice millet.
