Chapter 130
The farmers who were watching until late at night had mouths so big they could fit an egg in!
How many pounds?!
2000 pounds?!
Could it be that they had something wrong with their ears and heard wrongly?
Is this exaggerated number true or false?
Even the official who had been commanding couldn't help but become suspicious.
He pointed his sharp gaze at the little official and asked,"Did you make a miscalculation?"
This matter was given by His Highness Prince Ning himself, and there was no room for sloppiness.
Now that we have such a number, if it is an overcount, they will not have enough food to make up for it later!
Of course the clerk also understood this.
He immediately did the calculation again with his abacus in hand.
However, no matter how he calculated it, the actual result was still 2,000 pounds!
In order to prevent mistakes, the clerk even handed over the number he had written down to another person for calculation.
But this approach is of little use.
Because the results calculated by others are the same.
In the end, after everyone made several calculations, they had to admit that this result was true!
The answer they got was correct!
That’s 2,000 pounds!
After the official confirmed this number, his face turned red!
The yield of one acre of land is 2,000 kilograms!
That's a number they can't even dream of!
You know, the yield of one acre of rice here is about 100 kilograms.
That's when the soil fertility is very good.
If the fertility of the land is slightly poor, it will be difficult to achieve a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu!
Not to mention the wheat in the north.
The yield per mu is only about 600 kilograms.
In comparison, this new variety of potatoes is so high-yielding!
The yield from one acre of land is even more than that of wheat and rice combined!
Moreover, it has only been more than two months since the potatoes were planted.
According to the time stated by His Highness Prince Ning, it should be able to continue growing for another month.
If so, will the output be greater?
The officials became even more excited when they thought that the output could continue to increase based on the 2,000 kilograms!
Moreover, they also thought that there are two other high-yielding crops on par with potatoes.
One is sweet potato and one is with corn.
The yields of these two crops will not be similar to potatoes, or even more, right?
If these crops were planted in large areas across the country, wouldn't we no longer have to worry about food shortages in the future?
There are so many acres of land in the country, and there is so much food that we can’t even finish it!
When they thought that high-yielding crops would be grown on other large tracts of land, a large amount of grain would be harvested, and even a large mountain of grain would be produced, the officials' eyes changed when they looked at those potatoes.
What kind of potatoes are these? They are simply golden beans!
If you plant such good things, you will never have to worry about famine again!
When other farmers heard about this result, they simply gasped.
They are growers who live on the land year-round.
No one knows better than them the content behind these 2,000 pounds.
Even if they have to pay part of the tax, the remaining food will be enough for them to feed them for two years!
You no longer have to worry about bad weather the next year, resulting in no harvest.
The farmers all smile when they think that their lives will be much easier in the future.
Each one looked at the potatoes with eyes as sweet as honey.
Especially those who were not planted this time, their hearts are bleeding.
If they had grown these things called potatoes, they wouldn’t have to worry about their harvest this year!
Wouldn’t that much income go directly into their pockets?
But now, they can only watch as the money that originally belonged to them went into other people's pockets.
How can this make them not anxious?
At this time, some bright-minded farmers had already gotten close to those farmers.
"Brother Wang, where did you get this seed? Is it still available?"
"Can you share some with us?"
"Can these potatoes be planted next?"
"Does this need to be dewormed?"
Everyone gathered around the farmer who had already calculated the weight of the grain and asked questions.
They wanted to know the secret recipe for producing 2,000 kilograms of grain.
The farmer looked proud and wanted to let everyone in the world know it. The potatoes grown by me reached a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu.
At this moment, another clerk suddenly shouted:"The potatoes here have a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu!""(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Everyone thought that the yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu was the limit of the limits, the highest grain output.
They never expected that on the basis of the second time, there were even more sales. High!
They immediately surrounded another farmer!
The officials' faces were red and their hands were shaking with excitement!
You know, rice and wheat have been cultivated for thousands of years. If you want to increase the yield, it's almost impossible. It’s hard to reach the sky!
But this potato is different. Under the same conditions, without doing anything, the output has actually increased!
Doesn’t this mean that 2,000 kilograms is not the limit for potatoes?!
The output can still be improved. Space!
After realizing this fact, the officials urged their subordinates to
"Do the math quickly! Find out what the output is as soon as possible!"
It is already late at night. If it were normal at this time, everyone would have already fallen asleep.
Even if they are not asleep, they are already yawning.
But at this time, no one near the field is sleepy at all.
It would be better to say, They are now extremely 330 conscious.
Because they were all hit by this huge happiness.[]
The fingers of the clerks danced very fast on the abacus!
The"pop" sound that comes out from time to time almost makes people suspect that the abacus sparks are about to pop out.
Soon, many petty officials calculated the specific figures.
"1800 pounds!"
"1,700 pounds!"
"2050 pounds!"
"1900 pounds!"
The sound of counting one after another echoed among everyone.
Although the maximum number of more than 2,100 kilograms has never appeared again.
But basically the farmers harvested more than 1,700 kilograms!
The official in charge of this matter at this time He was completely excited at this moment.
He couldn't wait to go back and report on the potato harvest!
This result is really amazing!
It must be reported!
Whether it is the famine in Henan or Shandong, it can be saved!
How many potatoes have been harvested? Ten carts were pulled away one by one.
It took one day and one night to completely dig away the potatoes dug out from the site.
Even the donkeys and oxen pulling the carts were exhausted.
The officials ordered the soldiers to process the potatoes according to the method Zhu Quan said. Let it dry in the air.
After leaving some of it as seeds for the next planting, I hurriedly wrote the report.
