Chapter Twenty-Nine: Super Fertilizer, Rejoice!
Except for a few small traders, most of these out-of-town residents are engaged in agriculture outside the capital.
So they only heard rumors that the emperor prayed to heaven and received food, and they didn't really see anything like it.
Soon, hundreds of people gathered around, adults, children, teenagers and girls, all kinds of people looked over and over there curiously.
Several Xuanjia soldiers piled the grain into the open field and cut open the bag with knives.
Whoa!
The bags of mound and sweet potatoes were immediately sprinkled on the ground.
"What are these two?"
"yes, it's round, I haven't seen it at all!"
"I don't know, can you eat these two things?"
Everyone looked curiously at the sweet potatoes and potatoes that rolled out.
Chongzhen looked at their appearance and immediately smiled.
"These two are called sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they are all edible grains!" Chongzhen clapped his hands as he spoke.
Suddenly, little eunuchs came around, and they walked into the crowd with roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"Let's try it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone picked up a roasted potato and ate it.
"Delicious!"
As soon as the man took a bite, his eyes widened.
The texture is as soft as glutinous rice, and it's so fragrant!
He immediately shoved the potato into his mouth in three or two bites, chewing with his teeth, and exhaling hot breath incessantly.
Then he stretched out his big hand and immediately grabbed three or four potatoes into his arms.
When the people around him saw him like this, they immediately dispelled their doubts and rushed up to grab it.
"Delicious! This potato is so delicious! ”
"And this sweet potato, it's sweet!"
"This sweet potato is as sweet as sugar and delicious!"
The people around began to rush wildly.
Chongzhen looked at these people and stood here quietly.
Wang Chengen wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Chongzhen.
The people live on food!
No matter what the times are, it is right!
And in this era of war and chaos, if you can feed the people, you will not live up to your identity as an emperor.
Wait until everyone is done and quiet.
Chongzhen took a step forward and said, "Since we all know the deliciousness of these grains, guess how much they yield per mu."
Many of these out-of-town residents were experienced in agriculture and were well aware of the various types of food produced.
For example, two stones per mu of corn is a bumper harvest, while wheat can be harvested even more, about three stones per mu.
Something delicious like this shouldn't grow much!
A lot of people think so.
"Such a delicious thing, there shouldn't be much per mu, there is one stone!" A farmer with calluses on his hands.
"It should be more than that, I guess four stones!"
"Shhhh Even if it's a good wheat year, it's just over two stones, I guess two stones! ”
The people around him became excited, and the old people and children turned their heads and ears, and began to guess one after another.
In the end, everyone focused their eyes on Chongzhen, and their eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity.
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! ”
"You're all wrong!"
Chongzhen glanced around, laughed, held up sweet potatoes and potatoes, and said in a loud voice: "These two kinds of grain, each mu has a yield of ten stones, and it is best to grow them in dry land!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell silent.
Ten stones!
You must know that one stone is a hundred catties, and ten stones is a thousand catties!
This is an almost impossible number.
These farmers have been working on the land for decades and already know the land well.
No grain has ever been able to reach this yield, never!
Quite a few people widened their eyes and their faces were full of disbelief.
This is simply beyond their understanding.
"I believe that you don't believe it, so I will show you!"
The corners of Chongzhen's mouth hooked slightly, and he clapped his hands.
Smack!
As soon as the voice fell, one of the guards swung their knives and chopped the potatoes into pieces; And the sweet potatoes are pulled out of the sweet potato seedlings and piled into a ball.
Immediately afterwards, the potato crumbs and sweet potato seedlings were immediately planted.
"What is this doing? I've never seen anything like this. ”
"What kind of thing are you old man, the emperor must have his reasons for doing this."
"Yes, the emperor must be right!"
The people around are talking to each other.
Chongzhen nodded to Wang Chengen beside him, and Wang Chengen immediately beckoned the eunuch behind him to take out more than a dozen bags of fertilizer.
"This is God's fertilizer for me and your people, and it only takes three days to ripen these grains." Chongzhen said loudly.
What the!
Chongzhen's words suddenly shocked the people around him.
How is it possible to grow a batch of grain in three days?
The people around him whispered, their faces full of disbelief.
If the grain just now is still a little believable, but this ripening is completely unbelievable.
Chongzhen looked at them, smiled slightly, and gave Wang Chengen a look.
Wang Chengen immediately understood, immediately opened the bags of fertilizer, and sprinkled all these fertilizers on the ground.
"Then came the time to witness the miracle." The corners of Chongzhen's mouth hooked slightly.
The gray fertilizer sprinkled on these yellow earths, like a stream of water, disappears in an instant, as if blending into it.
This sight instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Look, they're all melted in!" A teenager pointed to the land.
The people around were also crowded, and they immediately looked over and immediately saw this strange scene.
The next moment.
A small shoot came out of the ground, as if it was a signal, and in the blink of an eye, countless green shoots came out of the ground.
Hiss!
The people around couldn't help but rub their eyes and look at the ground in disbelief.
An old farmer stooped down tremblingly and touched the seedling at his feet.
The seedlings are very delicate and bend down as soon as they are touched.
"Really, it really grows!" The old peasant's voice trembled.
He's grown so big, he's never seen a miracle before.
The eyes of the people around him also lit up, as if they saw a treasure, staring straight at the young seedlings on the ground, and their eyes did not leave for a moment.
These seedlings are all treasures!
Chongzhen looked at them, and his heart was also a little painful.
Those fertilizers were all super fertilizers that he exchanged from the system, and the cost of them was not low, even Chongzhen was a little reluctant before, but now he was suddenly relieved.
"In three days, this batch of grain will grow!"
"From now on, no one in this Ming Dynasty will starve, I guarantee this world!"
Chongzhen raised his head, his gaze determined.
At this time, the people around him immediately looked at him with reverence, and then someone shouted.
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
……
All of a sudden, they all looked at him with adoration.
Chongzhen smiled faintly, and suddenly heard an eagle's cry.
He glanced up, and when he landed, he saw an eagle flying in the distance.
Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he slowly raised his hand, this eagle was the letter eagle that Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen used to communicate.
Phew!
When the eagle saw Chongzhen, he immediately let out a long cry, and instantly flew straight down and landed on his arm.
Chongzhen took out the letter paper from the eagle's talon and immediately looked at it.
"It worked!"
The corners of Chongzhen's mouth were hooked.
