The entire Chang'an City, down to the common people, up to the officials and dignitaries, many families are silently praying for a name at this time.

Chen Chu!

When the Great Sui was established, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and from the Great Sui to the Tang Dynasty, the world has not been stable for several years.

There were so many people who froze to death in those difficult years, and there was no one who didn't look forward to this food that had never been available before.

The vast majority of people have only heard of this potato, it is rumored to be too godly, too brilliant.

So much so that everyone around me praised it, even if the most demanding person mentioned the word potato, he would drool wildly.

Those who have eaten are even more thieves in their eyes, desperate to start picking up their own land, seeing that it is empty, quickly turn it over in advance, even if there is food, they are also anxious to find out whether to dig them out in advance.

After all, compared with the yield per mu of potatoes conveyed by His Majesty personally, ordinary grain is really too far behind, with a yield of two or three hundred catties per mu on one side and thirty stones on the other! Which is better or worse, even a fool knows the choice.

The largest Guangji Temple in Chang'an City is located in Xuanyangfang, at this time this city Zhongshan Temple, the sound of the Buddha is Miao Miao, the sound of the wooden fish is far away, and countless monks and Buddhas are reciting scriptures.

And more people have come spontaneously, Guangji Temple is crowded with people, and Xuanyangfang, which has many temples, has fallen into the encirclement of Chang'an people.

From the monks in many Buddhist temples who personally prayed for Chen Chu's safety and begged for shelter from his family, to the groups of people outside Chen's mansion kneeling on the ground in the dark, kowtowing three times each time and then leaving, and the next group of people who came spontaneously continued to kowtow.

The two battalions of guards guarding here were shocked and sighed, they were all warriors who accompanied King Qin in the southern and northern battles, and they had seen too many big scenes, but today they still have an indescribable feeling.

If it weren't for their duty, and if they had already known the news of this potato too much in advance, and even tasted it themselves I don't know how many times, I am afraid they would not be able to help but be like these people.

Qiaoxuan Mansion, Imperial City, Nancheng Lifang, Beicheng Dafang, Dongxi City, Wannian County, Tongguan, Lantian ...... People in too many places are doing the same thing.

Concubine Yang believed in Buddhism for a short time, at first just to pray for her good health and the safety and happiness of Ke'er, but today the person she silently recited in her heart was also replaced by Chen Chu, who had great kindness to her mother and son.

No amount of words can describe her inner gratitude, and in the future, there should be an immortal card of Lord Chen on Ke'er's house, which is often recited with the secular status of the prince, and it must be able to influence some Buddhas.

If it weren't for the fact that her identity as an imperial concubine was too special, Concubine Yang would feel that she and Lord Chen should be friends, if it weren't for his appearance, how boring Datang would be at present, and how boring the harem life should be.

Since the potato incident spread, the first Chang'an Cup Chess Tournament has been pushed to a peak.

Some recluses who didn't plan to come forward and were quite proud sighed and decided to go out of the mountain to participate, which can be regarded as a kind of recognition and respect for Lord Chen's achievements.

Chen Chu said that he was really not used to such a scene, so he simply didn't go out, and hid at home and waited for this wave of people's excitement to pass.

Yes, fireworks began to be set off in the imperial city, and many rich and noble families in the north city followed the ignition, and the sound of roaring over Chang'an for a while caused countless people to come out to watch.

It's just an ordinary night, but it makes people have the same happiness as the New Year.

Early the next morning, a message began to spread frantically around the Taiji Temple.

Starting from this year, Datang will be exempted from land tax for another three years!

In addition, all localities and states are provided by the imperial court with some farming tools, and there are also special personnel to guide the cultivation of potatoes.

If there is a craftsman who has made great contributions to the improvement of agricultural tools, he will immediately be rewarded with a great reward, and those who are willing to donate land for official land or reclaim wasteland for farming, etc., will be rewarded.

This news once again inspired countless people, especially the farmers around Chang'an, who were all boiling.

If yesterday's news is still a rumor, then today's move by the imperial court means that being able to plant potatoes is already genuine news, and there will be no adulteration.

Life is really getting better! This is the first thing people think.

Since the king of Qin ascended the throne, widely benevolent government, the internal cancellation of a lot of taxes, this year in addition to the successive disasters in the place, in fact, many prefectures and counties have had a good harvest, now it is tax-free, and it is a new crop down, the joy of the people can be imagined.

At this time, the game of chess began to spread, so even in the more remote prefectures and counties near Chang'an, carpenters began to sell chess, and many people bought it novelly, learned its rules of play, and began to play with great interest.

Early in the morning, Chen Chu began to be busy with his own.

Datang officially launched the planting of potatoes, and this morning, he was surprised to find that there was an exchange item in the Tucao Mall, and there was an exchange option to keep seeds next to the potatoes.

It was also a bag of 20 catties, but the exchange price rose from 10 to 30, indicating the high cost of the stem used as a seed for this potato.

Chen Chu felt on the spot that he had to set aside a field for the cultivation of potatoes, and its yield was also extremely high, with more than 5,000 plants per acre, which was enough to provide more than dozens of acres of land for use.

Otherwise, just by redeeming it yourself, I'm afraid you can make his spit value negative.

After all, the entire Datang is open to planting, and the ghost knows how much is needed, and he will definitely not be able to take so much.

And Li Er and the others, who were concerned about this matter, came early, and it was also the time when the audition for the Suzaku Street Chess Tournament began, which was very lively, but everyone couldn't take care of these for the time being, and they were most concerned about the seed issue.

"You don't have to worry, although potatoes are not suitable for direct planting, but I can take out not many special seeds here, and ordinary potatoes can also be cut into pieces and covered with wounds, and planted extensively."

Chen Chu was holding a piece of potato at this time, cutting it with a knife and covering its incision with soil.

"I planted these in Sinong Temple before, because I didn't care about anything, so you can also see that the conservative yield estimate after planting is not as good as the figure I said, about ten stones."

"But if you can fertilize it, and if you plant it properly, weed and insect control, you can make it more productive."

"How to fertilize? With feces? Li Er asked.

"Alternatively, if not, it can also be replaced by other methods, considering the preciousness of vegetables, ordinary weeds can be covered on top of it for fermentation and provide nutrients."

"After the land is excavated, the sun is dried and baked, so that the insects inside are exposed, and the weeds and young seedlings are sunburned, this step is also more critical, after all, it is a large-scale promotion of planting, and it is better to take into account a little more details."

Everyone recorded that Chen Chu unscrupulously stocked potatoes before the relationship, purely to prove to them that the vitality of potatoes is tenacious.

Now that they've seen it, if they take care of the details as he said, God knows how much they can produce by then?
