"Okay, let's go and see if this sweet potato can yield dozens of stones per mu."

"Liu Jin, you boasted about Haikou at the beginning."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately walked happily towards the sweet potato field.

Everyone smiled and came to the sweet potato field, which is square and square.

At this time, it was already autumn and winter was approaching, and it was already a little cold in the capital, and the leaves and rattans of the sweet potatoes had withered, and it was time to harvest.

"These are sweet potatoes?"

Emperor Hongji came to the sweet potato field and personally went down to see it with great interest.

"Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are in the ground, and you need to dig up the soil to dig them out."

Liu Jin hurriedly replied.

"Yes~"

"Someone, bring me a hoe, I'm going to dig a few sweet potatoes myself."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a pretty good mood, and he actually wanted to dig sweet potatoes in person.

"Your Majesty, let's let the ministers wait."

When Liu Jian and the others heard this, they immediately hurriedly said.

"You also dug it, and I didn't let you dig it."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

Soon someone here came over with some hoes, and Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others each had a hoe, and they each found a place to start digging sweet potatoes with great interest.

"Drink~"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hoe high and went down with a hoe.

Well, the digging was a little off, but it was still a piece of dirt.

The sweet potato fields are ridged in rows of soil, the soil is very loose, and it is not difficult to dig up.

Soon, Emperor Hongji dug up some of the soil around the sweet potato roots, and the sweet potatoes were exposed.

"Haha, dug it~"

Seeing the sweet potatoes, Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, but he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, so he directly picked up the soil with his hands, and suddenly the sweet potatoes were picked out one by one.

These sweet potatoes are very large, the small ones are a few taels, the big sweet potatoes are even two or three catties, and there are several sweet potatoes under a sweet potato plant like the cubs.

"It's quite a lot, and this gravity is quite good."

Emperor Hongzhi wielded a hoe, kept digging, and soon dug out all the sweet potatoes, and counted them carefully, and there were eight sweet potatoes.

"How much~"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the sweet potatoes he had dug out, and carefully weighed them, just this sweet potato plant was almost a few catties, and the yield was very good.

"This yield can ~"

Next to him, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others also dug out a sweet potato, and they couldn't help but nod their heads.

Liu Jin really didn't deceive people, the yield of this sweet potato is only a few catties per plant, and then look at this large sweet potato field, I don't know how many sweet potatoes can be dug up.

"Xiao Jing, bring these sweet potatoes back and go back to cook porridge to eat."

Emperor Hongzhi clapped his hands, and then waved his hoe to dig several sweet potatoes one after another, and like the first sweet potato, there were several, and the yield was also quite high.

"It's okay, the output is so-so~"

Liu Jin on the side was also relieved, the yield of this sweet potato did not disappoint.

Sweet potatoes are really good seeds, and the yield is also high, and they can taste good.

Well, the disadvantage is that you are not hungry, and you can eat sweet potatoes quickly, but you can get hungry quickly.

But as a supplement, it's very good.

In the years of famine, this sweet potato is a life-saving food.

"Liu Jin, let people start digging, I'm very curious now, how high the yield of this sweet potato is."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his hoe and said in a good mood.

"Yes~"

Liu Jin nodded hurriedly, and then commanded Mao Lun.

Soon, many people came into the fields with hoes and began to dig up sweet potatoes.

This side is digging sweet potatoes, and the other side has already been ready to weigh, and while digging, they also start to weigh.

It doesn't take long, it just takes a moment.

Sweet potatoes were dug up one by one and placed on the ridges of the fields, and for a while, a large number of sweet potatoes could be seen throughout the field.

"Start Weighing~"

Some people hold baskets to load sweet potatoes, and some people hold large scales and notebooks.

"One hundred pounds and three pounds~"

Just casually filled a basket with more than a dozen sweet potatoes, and there were more than 100 catties in one weighing.

"Tsk, this yield is too high~"

This has just begun, and after a careful comparison of the ministers, some people couldn't help but sigh.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this output is absolutely bargaining.

"One hundred and four pounds~"

"The total output is five hundred and thirty-seven catties~"

There are enough people, and the sweet potato harvest is also very fast.

A basket of sweet potatoes was constantly weighed, and soon exceeded 500 catties.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the sweet potatoes that had been processed, and then looked at the remaining sweet potatoes in the field, and the whole person couldn't stop smiling.

"A thousand catties~"

Soon, the numbers soared to a thousand catties.

However, there are still a large number of sweet potatoes in the field that have not been weighed, and a rough estimate shows that there are at least a few thousand catties of sweet potatoes.

"Three thousand catties~"

Soon, as the statistician reported the number, everyone laughed from ear to ear.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, auspicious rain from the sky, I will have no famine in the Ming Dynasty~"

Liu Jian, a sycophant, immediately took the lead in congratulating Emperor Hongzhi.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty~"

"It's a blessing for me to have this artifact."

When the others saw it, they immediately congratulated one after another.

Now only about half of the harvest has been harvested, and the yield per mu has exceeded 3,000 catties, and the yield of this sweet potato can at least exceed 5,000 catties per mu.

The yield per mu is 5,000 catties, what kind of concept is this.

In this era, the annual yield of wheat per mu in the north was only about 300 catties, and as for the rice in the south, the yield per mu would not exceed 400 catties.

Now the yield of this sweet potato, which is more than ten times that of wheat and rice, is how terrible this yield is.

Liu Jian called it auspicious, and he didn't scream indiscriminately.

With this thing, more than ten times the output, the same land can feed more people, which means that the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to eat more in the future.

This is definitely a great thing for Daming.

"Haha, it's indeed auspicious~"

Emperor Hongzhi immediately burst out laughing happily.

He was happier than any other time, because he knew that with this sweet potato, as long as his old Zhu family did not die to a certain extent, the country would be stable.

As long as the people can eat enough, everything else is easy to say.

"Four thousand catties~"

The weighing continued, and soon it exceeded 4,000 catties, and everyone laughed from ear to ear.

"Oh God~"

"If there had been such sweet potatoes a few years earlier, my poor child wouldn't have starved to death."

At this time, an old farmer who had purchased could not help but fall to his knees in the ground, and the whole person began to cry.

He thought of his own children, of the famine that had been starved to death a few years earlier.

The yield of wheat is too low.

Wheat varieties of this era were not improved and yields were limited.

Add to that the absence of pesticides and fertilizers, and the yield is even lower.

One acre of land can produce 300 catties of wheat, which is considered good.

The sweet potato in front of me yields thousands of catties per mu.

If there were sweet potatoes at that time, there would be fewer starvations to death, I don't know how many people died.

Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others all looked over, and when they heard the old peasant's cry, they all fell silent.

Especially Emperor Hongzhi, he has always thought that he is still a very good emperor.

But in the past few years, he has seen himself clearly, and what he has done is far from enough.

I used to be immersed in the wonderful world of civil servants.

Now I have seen a lot of things clearly, which is why these changes have occurred.

"Liu Jin is right, the world is very big, and my Chinese descendants should not only be limited to the Ming Dynasty, but also go to all over the world to seize more land."

"It's one thing to have good seeds, but if you have more land, you can feed more people."

Emperor Hongzhi felt a lot and looked at Liu Jin.

He remembered some of Liu Jin's words, that grain production should be increased, and the land should also be continuously expanded, and people from dense areas should be moved out.

Liaodong, Ryukyu, Nanyang, Golden Continent, Australia, there are many good places in the world, and they can all be grabbed.

"Five thousand catties~"

The weighing continued, and soon it broke through the 5,000 mark.

However, because of the old farmer's crying, everyone became a lot more silent.

The people are suffering, and the people are suffering.

They are important ministers of the imperial court, and there are still many things that have not been done well, far from being done, and they are just immersed in the so-called prosperity of Confucianism, which is too false.

The crying old farmer in front of him seemed to be slapping his face.

"Five thousand five hundred and sixty-eight pounds~"

Soon, the sweet potatoes of one acre of land were harvested and weighed completely.

Mao Lun piled up the sweet potatoes together, like a small mountain, and at the same time reported the numbers.

"More than 5,500 catties~"

"Okay, okay~"

"With this sweet potato, there will be no famine in my Ming Dynasty."

"Liu Jin, how should I reward you?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled happily and nodded, then looked at Liu Jin and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to take credit~"

"The good breed was brought back from the Golden Continent by the Taiping Hou and the crew after a lot of hardships."

"The minister has no merit, but he is embarrassed to ask for a reward."

When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said.

"No, you have merit, great merit."

Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "If you hadn't said that there were high-yield varieties in the Golden Continent, naturally there would be no follow-up events." ”

"This sweet potato, corn, potatoes and other Golden Continent varieties can solve my Ming food problem, so that my Ming Dynasty will have no famine from now on."

"This is a great merit, and there will be a reward for merit~"

"Well, the intention ~"

"Feng Liu Jin is the candidate of Liaodong, hereditary replacement, the official is promoted to one level, and the 10,000 acres of good land in Liaodong are rewarded......"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and immediately began to speak.

gave Liu Jin a marquis, or the hereditary one, well, the kind that belongs to the iron rice bowl, it will not decrease, and it is also for Liu to be promoted to the first level.

It was originally the fourth grade, and this promotion is from the third grade, and the speed of this promotion is almost the same as riding a rocket.

As for the 10,000 acres of fertile land in eastern Liaodong...... Emperor Hongzhi also learned badly.
