Except for Lao Nongyan, the rest of the contestants are all gearing up.

Needless to say, Lao Nongyan got off to a good start.

After the detailed calculation and measurement of Qin Teng and the others, the minimum yield per mu of potatoes is forty stones, adding up to nearly two thousand stones!

The bamboo baskets are not enough, and I have to make a lot of happy tunes temporarily. Finally, it is covered with kudzu hemp to prevent it from being exposed to the sun.

Several ministers were as excited as if they had committed a sheep's madness, and they convulsed from time to time. Holding the potatoes, the gray face is dirty, and he is reluctant to let go of life or death. It was so auspicious that they didn't even dare to think about it.

Fusu stood beside him, full of emotion in his heart.

He once admonished that he hoped that the First Emperor would be lightly punished and finally delay a few years before raising a sword again. However, Qin Shi Huang had his own plans. The Qin State was established by military merits, and the six countries were merged at the beginning, and there were many domestic contradictions without war. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang wanted to attack Baiyue.

The appearance of Bai Ji made Qin Shi Huang suspend the army, and I don't know how many people were saved in this move. Now that the potatoes are ripe, after another two or three years of cultivation, the Qin State will have enough food. When the time comes, no matter where you want to start, you will be sure to win.

Not to mention that there is also Bai Ji, a true immortal, who is in charge, and sacrifices the two major killing weapons of Eastern Cloud and Mist, which greatly reduces the loss of Qin's troops.

Finally, the forty acres of potatoes were all accepted and calculated. The winner is naturally Lao Nongyan, who has two more stones than the second place. Others lose what they are convinced, after all, Lao Nongyan does have a hand in serving the crops. For the same rice species, the yield per mu is high.

Before the game, Bai Ji set the rules.

The first place gets the ploughing ox and the curved plow, and the second and third get the curved plow. The rest of the people left the five stone potatoes for themselves, and the rest of the potatoes were all handed in, and then they were given a zigzag plow.

The top three already have a quyuan plow, so they buy it directly with money. The price will definitely be higher, Bai Ji pays out of his own pocket, 300 yuan per person. Compared to potatoes, this money is really small. Roughly calculated, one stone is about eight yuan, which is not even as good as the price of rice.

Even so, they are already grateful.

Three hundred dollars, this is a huge amount of money that they can't even think of.

Qin Shi Huang was very happy, and immediately waved his hand and gave him a knight!

The old farmer Yan Jue is the supreme man, and the second and third are the lord and the duke. This reward was really beyond the expectations of the old farmer, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted excitedly.

"Thou art a farmer, but thou art productive. In the future, the ranking should learn from it to make the yield per mu higher! ”

This matter was actually not the first of Bai Ji's initiative, Lu Buwei had done something similar when he was Xiangguo before. Someone produced more than ten stones per mu, and Lü Buwei immediately gave him a loom and a ploughing ox, which can be said to be the four major pieces of the Qin State.

As a result, a follow-up investigation found that the local county order had lied about it. In the end, the cattle loom was not recovered, and the county order was punished.

Thus, the potato cup came to a successful conclusion.

Bai Ji pulled all the potatoes to the house first, so as not to be exposed to the sun.

Then the corn cup kicked off.

Looking at the corn that is taller than a person, they are full of amazement.

Most of them, including the hundred officials, were also seen for the first time. As an alien crop, these corns grow very well. The wide, dark green leaves open left and right, and the unique patterns symbolize a good harvest.

Wrapped in leaves is corn with purple-red ears at the top. Stroking the leaves, a little rough. Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but salivate, his favorite food was corn.

You don't need to add anything, and cooking it directly in water is a delicacy. It's delicious and filling. Breaking corn is not as easy as you think, and you have to waste some effort and skills. Grab one end and twist it, and then just pull it down. Empty corn stalks can be bent with your feet, otherwise they can easily be scratched by the blades.

Of course, there are also people who cut them all with a scythe and then pick them slowly. There's nothing wrong with either way, it's purely a matter of personal preference.

"Seventeen stones per mu!"

"Fifteen stones per mu!"

……

Every mu is recorded in detail, and the faces of the old farmers who are leading the yield per mu are full of pride. In the end, the fat man not only gave the knight, but also gave the champion an extra corn root, so that he could taste the delicious corn.

Because of the lack of grain, there is no one to eat.

Even Qin Shi Huang himself, he didn't say that he wanted to eat corn. Just now, Bai Ji saw that the fat man was greedy, so he secretly stuffed corn with him and asked him to take it back and eat it quietly. As a result, the fat man smiled bitterly and put it back in the bamboo basket, not eating, not eating, and having to do seeds.

It's not easy to see his painful and tangled appearance. Qin Shi Huang is not a novice, and he knows the importance of seed grain. He wasn't eating a single piece of corn, but a large field of corn!

Forget it, he has to come at the critical moment. As a farmer, he brought this corn with him. Therefore, the emperor's merits were remembered, and corn was specially given.

Taishi hurried over, wrote it down, and went back to take the exam.

It is said that this corn was 'forcibly' given to Qin Shi Huang by Bai Ji, and in the end, the fat man pushed it two or three times, and then he 'reluctantly' accepted it.

The perfect curtain call for the corn cup and potato cup is also a shot in the arm for all ministers. This shows that the auspicious high yield is not the result of the immortal qi of Bai Ji, even ordinary Qianshou can be planted!

It has been harvested once before, but in the eyes of many people, it is caused by the infusion of immortal qi by Bai Ji. I definitely won't say it in person, it's just a guess in my heart. This time is different, a full 80 acres of land!

Even if Bai Ji really instilled with immortal power, then they would admit it.

Moreover, there are also good officials who can prove that Bai Ji has never intervened. All rely on these farmers to plant, and all the leaders in the world have a way to live.

Although this is a bumper harvest, it is only the beginning.

Roughly counted as a potato of 2,000 stones, but what's the use of that?

One acre costs about five stones for seeding, which is worth 400 acres. Even if these 400 acres of land are ripe again, it will only be a drop in the bucket. It is still far from being extended to the whole country.

Slow to slow, you still have to eat some.

Lamb stewed potatoes, visible potato chips, large chunks of lamb. No way, potatoes are more expensive than mutton now. Cut the potatoes into thin slices, which already displeased Dr. Bao and others.

"Potatoes are auspicious grains, and it is not easy to keep the seeds, how can you eat them for the appetite?!"

Li Xin immediately applauded, if you don't eat me, I will eat. The anxious Bao Bailingzhi almost spat on him, and said that he would eat and eat. The boiled potatoes almost flew away, which made Bao Bailingzhi extremely disdainful of Li Xin.

In fact, it only took a few potatoes, and each minister only had a thin slice. Bao Bering picked it up and savored the taste of the potatoes. While eating, tears shed at the same time, and the taste was much better than he thought.

With a rich aroma of mutton, the potatoes are soft after just chewing lightly. The taste is delicate and soft and glutinous, which is better than any kind of grain.

It is a famine year, and as long as there are potatoes, you will never starve to death.

As for corn, only Qin Shi Huang had roots in his plate. Looking at the white millet under the stage, Qin Shi Huang personally broke the corn in half and handed the big one to the white millet.

"If there is no national teacher to bring auspiciousness, it will be difficult for me to taste it in this life. You and I should share this corn. ”

Sometimes it may be a means to win people's hearts, and sometimes it comes from the heart. Bai Ji thinks that people should be pure, and it is easy to be bald if he thinks too much, so he is sincere when he is fat.

Bai Ji picked up the corn and nibbled it directly. The corn kernels are very soft and waxy, and the sweetness is just right. It doesn't stick to your teeth when you eat it, and it eats very slowly. Eating corn, thinking about relatives in another dimension.

When he was a child, he also liked to eat corn, but at that time he would add a little sugar, which tasted sweeter and more fragrant. Although this corn tastes better than the previous one, it is not as sweet.

The fat man also eats very slowly, breaking and eating one by one. Many people who watched it were itchy and wanted to taste two bites. Especially Li Xin and Meng Yi, they have eaten corn.

It's okay to say that I haven't eaten it, and I can't stand it even more if I have eaten.

For this reason, they can only turn their grief and anger into appetite. Forget about the potatoes, they eat too much, plus just such a small piece, there is really nothing to eat. It is mainly braised mutton, even fat and thin, and there is a faint smell of mutton.

I add starch syrup and soy sauce made by Shirakuji yourself, so it tastes quite good. As a carnivore, Li Xin also showed his amazing strength. The feeling to Bai Ji is that this old boy has been hungry for three days and deliberately came to him to eat.

Bai Ji specially instructed He Miao to give Li Xin a large portion! As a result, this guy yelled and became addicted, and he didn't eat enough, so Bai Ji couldn't wait to stuff the pottery bowl in his mouth.

There are also a few side dishes, similar to water chestnut root, green cabbage mushrooms.

Mushrooms can't be eaten casually, Bai Ji has a classmate from the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and that place is definitely a big eater of mushrooms. Because of eating mushrooms, I often go to the hospital and watch TV, and it is said that I will be addicted...... People with different physiques have different effects after eating.

These mushrooms are picked from the mountains, which are somewhat similar to oyster mushrooms, and Bai Ji is sure that it is okay after looking at them.

"Hu Hai, what do you think of what you have seen and heard today?"

After eating the corn, Qin Shi Huang looked at Hu Hai. He hurriedly walked out and bowed. There was still oil around his lips, and he wiped it directly with his sleeve.

"The ministers and the heads of the Qianqian return to their hearts, for the sake of congratulations!"

"What else?"

Shang Shan Sihao and Chun Yuyue both breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Shi Huang's move was clearly to test Hu Hai's homework for the rest of the month. If the teaching is not good, the most unlucky thing is Chun Yuyue. Anyway, Bai Ji will definitely be fine, and the black pot will have to be carried by them?

Hu Hai looked a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "The minister's opinion is shallow. I only know that if you want to treat the head of Qian, you will definitely repay it. Even if there are changes in the future, Qianshou will also try his best to help. ”

Qin Shi Huang nodded, "Although it is a little superficial, it also makes sense. Stand down and go back and write a 500-word essay, and I will read it too. ”

"Yui."

Hu Hai bowed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Five hundred words? Heh, he has written an article of 800 words, what is 500 words?!

"Hu Hai, add another three hundred."

Bai Ji's voice fell, and the smile on Hu Hai's face disappeared instantly, and he almost fell on his head......
