Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 176 Amazing Potatoes per Mu

When the officials heard that the field under their feet was filled with immortal grain potatoes, they began to discuss.

"This fairy food is indeed different from millet, rice and other grains."

"Is this the fairy grain that can produce a thousand catties per mu? It doesn't look very good."

Officials, you have to express your own views on everything you say.

In this era of agriculture-oriented, although they have a high position and authority, they are no strangers to various crops.

Agriculture is the foundation of the Great Qin, so the Qin kings of all dynasties have attached great importance to it.

There is even a "Tian Lu" specially made for this purpose.

The emphasis on agriculture in it can even be compared with the present.

For example, at the beginning of spring, one cannot go to the mountains and forests to cut down trees, and one cannot block irrigation channels.

There are even special regulations for hunting and fishing.

This awareness of prevention is definitely ahead of the entire era.

Not only that, there are even strict requirements for cattle.

As long as every household has cattle for farming, regardless of whether the cattle are large or small, they must report to the local county government.

If the farm cattle died innocently, they would be severely punished.

Even important ministers in the court did not dare to kill farm cattle without authorization.

Even if the farm cattle die of old age naturally, they need to be checked by a specialized veterinarian, and nothing will happen after the review is correct.

It can be seen that Daqin really attached great importance to agriculture and food.

Looking at the officials who were discussing a lot, a smile appeared on Ying Yu's face.

Then he bent down directly and pulled up in the ground.

Ying Yu's move immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"His Royal Highness, are these fairy grain potatoes?"

Nesten looked at the potatoes that Ying Yu pulled out, with a puzzled look on his face.

Brother Zheng and others also surrounded him.

"Is this the so-called fairy food?"

It is really hard for people to associate it with immortals because of its appearance.

Even Brother Zheng frowned when he saw him.

"His Royal Highness, this...can these potatoes be eaten?"

Seeing the dark potato in Ying Yu's hand, Nesten raised a question.

Upon hearing this, Ying Yu threw a potato to Nei Shiteng, and said with a smile on his face:

"It can be eaten naturally, and the taste is very good, and the method is also very diverse. It can be eaten as a staple food or as a dish."

"Hey... what are you doing? These potatoes can't be eaten raw."

Ying Yu was speechless.

Before he could finish his sentence, Nei Shiten was about to stuff the potatoes into his mouth regardless of the dirt on them.

Unlike sweet potatoes, potatoes are harmful to the body when eaten raw.

Seeing this, Ying Yu hurriedly stopped her.

Upon hearing this, Nei Shi Teng smiled awkwardly, and then handed the potatoes in his hand to Shihuang Yingzheng.

"His Royal Highness, is it true that the yield of potatoes per mu is more than a thousand catties?"

Without waiting for Brother Zheng to speak, Feng Quji couldn't help asking.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Ying Yu, but the figure of a thousand catties per mu is really amazing.

"A thousand catties? Less."

"The minimum yield of this potato can reach [-] jin. If the land is fertile and carefully cared for, it is not difficult to reach [-] jin per mu."

After Ying Yu finished speaking, the surrounding people were completely in chaos.

Guaranteed three thousand catties?

Careful care can reach a yield of five thousand catties per mu?

Your Highness, are you kidding us?

This time, the officials couldn't believe it even more.

Looking at the dark potato in his hand, Brother Zheng also showed doubts.

The output that Ying Yu said was really shocking.

Suddenly Brother Zheng was taken aback, staring at the potato in his hand in disbelief.

Then, under the shocked eyes of the crowd, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng bent down to dig the ground himself, regardless of his image.

Soon, Brother Zheng dug out a large bunch of potatoes.

He took the potatoes and weighed them one by one, and brother Zheng's face suddenly showed ecstasy.

Nesten beside him also had his eyes shining, only then did he remember the weight of the potato.

"The bunch of potatoes in His Majesty's hand alone is estimated to weigh twenty or thirty catties."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

One seedling weighs twenty or thirty kilograms, so how much does this acre of land have?

Looking at the densely packed potato seedlings in the field, everyone felt dizzy, and their brains went blank.

"Hurry up, arrange people to dig immediately. I want to know how many potatoes are produced per mu."

Brother Zheng roared excitedly.

"No, the minister will do it now."

Nesten quickly took the order, then turned around and ran wildly.

"My lords, don't you want to experience it?"

Looking at the people who were still in a dazed state, Ying Yu said with a smile on his face.

"Yu'er is right, don't just stand there stupidly, dig potatoes for me quickly."

Following Brother Zheng's order, these officials who followed immediately became a labor force.

Although they are laborers, they all have happy smiles on their faces.

Throughout the fields, the yelling and shouting of officials could be heard at any time.

Soon, all the potatoes in the field under their feet had been dug out

"Your Majesty, the statistics are out."

"A total of 101 stones of fairy grain potatoes have been harvested from this mu of land."

After hearing the number reported by Nesten, the entire field fell silent.

Yield per mu... 101 stone?

In other words, the potatoes produced by this acre of land reached an astonishing 6200 catties.

This data is really scary.

You know, there are [-] acres of potatoes planted.

Based on this output, nearly [-] shi of grain can be harvested from the [-] mu of land alone.

The annual tax of a county in Daqin is only about 20 shi.

This potato only needs to be planted on a few hundred acres, and it can catch up with a county's annual tax.

If this is promoted in an all-round way, will Daqin still need to worry about food?

Will people still die of hunger?

It only takes a few years for Daqin's grain to pile up like a mountain.

At that time, even if the common people are allowed to eat whatever they want, they may not be able to eat them all.

"Haha... good, good!"

After a long time, Brother Zheng suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed.

"God bless Da Qin!"

"Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Daqin for ten thousand years!"

When all the officials saw this, they congratulated loudly.

Everyone knows what it means to produce more than 6000 catties of fairy grain per mu.

They were extremely excited at this moment.

"I want to thank you on behalf of the people of the world."

As soon as the words fell, Brother Zheng actually bowed respectfully to Ying Yu.

Seeing this, Ying Yu hurriedly returned a salute, and the father and son looked at each other, Ying Yu was stunned.

Because he saw a tear in Brother Zheng's eyes.

The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty won the government, and cried because of potatoes?

"With this immortal food, my Daqin will never have to worry about famine again."

Feng Quji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, he clearly knew how many people died of starvation in each county every year.

Now with this potato, it won't be long before that changes completely.

The people of Daqin will no longer have to worry about food.
