Chapter 197: The country is full of fertile soil and fertile land!
The bitter old man saw such a battle for the first time, and the whole person was stunned, and led everyone to his paddy field in a daze.
Half of the acres of crops have been harvested, and the family of the bitter old man is mowing rice with stone knives, and bundles of golden rice ears are piled up in the field, and the little baby is looking for the missing uncut rice ears in the field.
The bitter old man trembled and said: "I have harvested two acres of land, there will be no mistakes, this field is also about the size of one acre, and when the old man harvests, the king and the second elder will know at a glance!"
Wu Tong bowed his head casually, Gu Jing had no waves, and he couldn't see a trace of emotion, but Yao Yun knew Wu Tong very well, and he saw the excitement in his eyes at a casual glance.
Yao Yun has the experience of the previous life, and he has even seen thousands of catties of grain per mu, so he is naturally very calm at this time, but he also understands the urgent mood of Wutong and the other people, so he said:
"Come on, help the bitter old man harvest rice!"
"Whoa!"
Twenty or so fierce palace guards obeyed Yao Yun's orders, jumped into the fields one by one, drew their sharp weapons and began to harvest the rice.
Originally, the bitter old man's family was almost finished harvesting, only a small half was left, and now there were more than 20 young and powerful middle-aged laborers, and it didn't take long for one acre of rice to be harvested.
After the harvest, it is time to thresh, threshing to use a rice bucket, there is a small wooden ladder in the barrel, people will tie the harvested rice, hit the wooden ladder in the barrel, the drum will fall into the barrel.
There was only one rice bucket in the old man's house, and it took a lot of time to make one acre of rice, and two discerning farmers next to him immediately brought in the rice buckets that had not been used by their families.
Soon, three rice buckets threshed together, and suddenly there was a rush of enthusiasm on the field.
The palace guards are all practicing martial arts, they are the elite of the Xidu armor, they have a good strength, threshing is naturally not a problem, fast and good, and the people around them are envious of the guards who have a good body.
"After threshing, take the bucket to weigh!" someone shouted excitedly.
Hu and bucket are tools for weighing grain, but also a unit, one stone is equal to two Hu is equal to ten buckets.
The time for real weighing has come, and everyone's heartstrings have also fluctuated, whether it is as the bitter old man said, the doubling of the yield per mu depends on this time.
There is no small matter about food, and in the eyes of the people, it is as big as the sky!
The "calm" Wu Tong couldn't sit still at this time, watching the palace guards weighing, he was also very nervous, and he brushed the goat's beard several times in a few breaths, almost tearing off his beard.
Wu Tong tilted his head and asked Yao Yun in a low voice: "Wang, did you say that it was an accident, will this mu of rice not be as good as the bitter old man said?"
Yao Yun smiled slightly, and picked up an ear of rice that he was playing with in his palm: "Second Elder, just look at this ear of rice, it is more fruitful and full than the ears of rice in other fields, don't worry, even if it can't be tripled, it is not a problem to triple it, and the bitter old man also said, one acre of land is worth two or three acres before, you look at it!"
In this era, one mu of paddy field yielded more than one stone of grain per mu, that is, one or two hundred grains, and the yield per mu doubled by about two or three hundred catties.
You must know that the average yield of rice in the ancient Ming Dynasty in the last century reached more than 600 catties, and there is a mysterious existence such as vitality in this world, the grain is better, the land is more fertile, and its potential is far greater than imagined.
Wu Tong nodded and didn't say much, but approached with Yao Yun to watch the grain weighing.
"The two are full, this is a stone of grain, there used to be so much for the bitter old man's family to have an acre of land, but now it's good, there are still so many unloaded!"
"Don't shout, there are a lot of rice, only a small half, Haotian is above, I don't have dazzles, this is not fertile soil, can it also yield two or three stones per mu?"
"The bitter old man didn't lie, it turned out that the yield per mu has doubled, no, it may be more!"
The farmers who were digging in the field did not know arithmetic, but they could be sure that the bitter old man was not lying, and the yield per mu doubled, only a little more.
Wu Tong also saw the signs, and muttered to himself: "The yield per mu has really doubled, and this filthy fertilizer has such a miraculous effect!"
At this time, Wu Tong's eyes were staring at the palace guards and weighing the grain, he had completely believed in the fact that the grain had multiplied, and now it was up to him to see how much the yield per mu was.
One Hu, another Hu, and then another Hu.
When each pot was filled, the people would cheer.
After the whole six husks were loaded, there was still rice, so two more buckets of rice were loaded.
Seeing that all the rice was weighed well, Wu Tong couldn't calm down at all, and laughed three times: "Six Hu and two buckets, the yield of one mu of land is more than three stones, which can be called fertile soil!"
Hearing the words fertile land, the eyes of the people were full of excitement.
As we all know, only fertile soil can yield more than three stones per mu.
For example, the monarch of the neighboring Izumo Province owned a lot of fertile land, and it was precisely because of this that the Izumo Province was very powerful, far surpassing the other vassal states.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong trembled with excitement.
The fertile soil of Izumo Province with a yield of three stones per mu is very rare, and if the Hee Kingdom is really as the king said, fertilizing can turn ordinary cultivated fields into fertile fields, then the entire land of Hee Province will become fertile land!
What a sight this should be!
Wutong is a little unimaginable.
The other people were also stunned when they saw this scene, that filthy fertilizer could really turn ordinary cultivated fields into fertile soil.
Some people have the mentality that they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, thinking that rice is made of filth and watering, and it is definitely not as sweet as their own rice, and it is estimated that there is a faint smell of feces and urine.
So a man grabbed a handful of millet and put it in front of his nose to smell it.
"What are you doing?" Wu Tong was excited, and when he saw some people attacking the grain, he immediately stopped.
The common man was startled, and said tremblingly: "Great King, Second Elder, don't get me wrong, I'm not stealing grain, I'm just thinking that this grain was raised with filthy things, and it won't smell?"
Originally, the man wanted to say whether there was a smell or not, but thinking about the king and the second elder in front, his witty euphemism.
When Yao Yun heard this, he couldn't bear to be handsome in his heart, he was really a talent, and his brain was okay.
Wu Tong didn't laugh when he heard this, but nodded solemnly, as if he felt that what the man said made some sense, so he waved his hand and said, "You sniff?"
Seeing this, the bitter old man hurriedly said: "There is no smell, the same as in other fields." ”
Wu Tong and the rest of the people ignored him and looked at the farmer holding the rice.
The farmer received permission from the second elder and immediately held the rice and sniffed it carefully.
He didn't find anything, he sniffed it again, and soon he spoke: "No, there is only a fragrance of grass and trees, it is the smell of rice, it is really fragrant!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the people had mixed feelings in their hearts, both happy and regretful at the same time, they knew that they also used fertilizer, and at this time the harvest was their own!
Wutong also tried it, there is no smell, it is the best food, for a time Wutong was very excited, with fertilizer, this is not to say that all the country is fertile and fertile land!
