Chapter 249: Shocking yield per mu
After a short period of effort, Li Shimin quickly dug up a few potatoes, basically each of them was a large bunch, about fifteen, and even one bunch reached more than 20 catties, and the first one dug was the lightest bunch.
After all, the queen is a young lady from a big family, and she has not done any hard work. Although it was just a simple labor and a show, it was still a little sweaty, and the princesses were almost the same except for Li Xiuning and a few naughty ones.
The potatoes they dug were basically destroyed, which made the peasant women who tutored them full of distress.
The princes are okay, after all, it hasn't been long since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin are also emperors immediately, so they are also strict with their sons. Don't look at some princes who are thin, and some who are a little obese, but their strength is not small.
Although there are also digging bad, but in general, the hands-on ability is much stronger than that of the queen princesses.
It's basically the first time to work, and I haven't experienced farm work, so I just feel fresh, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I dig out the potatoes.
The emperor has a lot of families, so the plan is to dig up an acre of land, and then weigh how many catties they have dug up by the royal family, which is also a good sign.
But even if there are many royal people, after digging an acre of land, it makes the pampered princesses sigh, but they dare not complain. And the princes didn't even dare to sigh, and they tried their best to behave in front of their father.
The older ones not only show that they can bear hardships and stand hard work, but also help their younger brothers and sisters when they can't dig up, and then show their brotherly humility and love and unity.
Li Shimin himself killed his brother and brother and ascended to the throne, so he didn't want his children to also be on the throne.
But in fact, the royal struggle in the Tang Dynasty is really described as bloody and bloody, which seems to be caused by Li Shimin's struggle for the throne.
Although tired, but not much land per acre, under the labor of a group of people being tutored, it was quickly dug up.
As soon as the emperor and his family finished digging, there were special people who piled up the dug potatoes, whether they were broken or not.
Then, it's time for someone to weigh in.
The Tang Dynasty did not have such a large scale, so it could only be weighed in batches.
Every time you weigh and report, you will be amazed and excited by the people around you. It took about 20 times to weigh the harvest of this acre of land.
The mental arithmetic is fast, and the output of this acre of land has been obtained. So Jin Tansheng, who came and went, gasped endlessly.
"Your Majesty!" The official in charge of the count was flushed and excited. "This acre of land produces 7,313 catties of potatoes!" The official's excited voice changed tone.
And the yield per mu he shouted loudly made all the onlookers shocked and stupid.
One by one, they all seemed to be distracted, and they just stood on the spot.
And when the total yield per mu was passed on and known to everyone, everyone seemed to be quickly infected by an emotional virus, and they all showed exactly the same demeanor and expression. I'm afraid, even the mental activity is the same.
Immediately afterwards, the onlookers began to shout.
The slogans of Shanhu are also chaotic.
Some people shouted thanks to God, some people shouted thank you to the champions, some people shouted thanks to the gods of food and agriculture, and even thanked the Emperor of the Demons!
Among the officials, Ye Mu had a black face. This job shouted thank you, isn't this an eye medicine for the emperor! Although he was not afraid or worried, he said that he would be an official for three years, so high, it would be strange for the emperor to let him be an official for three years.
So Ye Mu hurriedly took the rhythm and shouted Long live Your Majesty.
And the people who were hiding in the crowd of Tianya Pavilion and Listening to the Rain Building, after seeing their master's performance, they all shouted slogans.
So it didn't take much effort, and the whole scene became unified. Everyone shouted Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live.
This made Li Shimin, who was originally overjoyed because of the potato production, but when he heard the chaotic shouts of the people, his face was dark, and he couldn't help but be happy again.
That's right! Although it is said that this is the seed from the champion Lang Ye Mu, I finally came to dig the first acre of land in person, such a high yield is dug by our family, and it is blessed by the royal family and God, how can I do it without thanking me!
Enjoying the chanting of the people, Li Shimin's heart is so comfortable~!
The historian recorded this scene in detail and realistically in the book he carried, and he was honored to be able to record this acre.
After resting for a while, Li Shimin took his wife and children and walked to the sweet potato field next to the mu of land they had dug.
Although the princes and princesses are very tired and don't want to go, who dares to say anything at this time? And the scene of the people shouting just now also made them excited from the bottom of their hearts.
If it is said that the historian is because he witnessed today's scene, he can record it in the history books with his own hands, so that he can also be honored to leave his name in history. Then they are sincerely proud of the people's mountain cry.
Sweet potato fields are much more difficult to dig than potato fields. Because sweet potatoes like water, although they can also resist drought, when water is available, water supply is naturally preferred.
The large amount of water supply causes the sweet potato fields to be soaked in water for a long time. And the soaked land is much stronger when it is dried.
When digging this acre of land, Li Shimin also felt very tired. So someone secretly ordered the farmers and peasant women who were tutored to help, and Li Shimin, who was aware of this, did not object, seeing that Li Shimin did not object, those princes and princesses were naturally happy in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to work hard.
After all, they were originally here to put on a show, digging a few acres of land to make a show, if they didn't really rely on them for a show, I am afraid that they wouldn't be able to dig ten acres of land in a day.
With the help of the old crop masters, the speed of digging sweet potatoes has secretly increased a lot.
The sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field are about 250 plants, which is actually more than potatoes.
And a bunch of sweet potatoes is about ten catties. Calculated as a whole, one mu of land is about 3,000 catties, which is in line with the yield per mu of sweet potato.
It took two sticks of incense longer than digging potatoes, and the emperor's family finally solved the acre with the help of the old crops.
Finally, they are stacked together and weighed in fractions.
The result is the same as what Ye Mu said. The yield per mu of this mu is 3,641 catties.
This is actually much higher than the yield of summer potatoes! The yield per mu of summer potatoes is generally about 2,000 catties. However, the hoeing grass was too clean, and Ye Mu killed the insects several times, which made the yield reach the highest water quality of superior cultivation.
It was another shock, and then it was another mountain call driven by people with hearts.
Even if it was a tired backache, such a mountain cry still made Li Shimin's blood surge, and he gave birth to a wave of energy.
There is still an acre of corn land to go, and Li Shimin, who was thinking about whether to find an excuse to have fun with the people, decided that he would stick to the end in the last acre of cornland!
Fortunately, the work in the cornfield is much simpler. And there were already guards who smoked back and forth in the ground with cigarettes several times, mosquitoes flew away, spiders and other things were screened, and there was almost nothing to clean up.
So quickly, the farm work in the cornfield was also done.
The last weighing, 1,438 catties, is still far more than the original yield of 1,000 catties.
Because the difference between these things is not clear, the yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu did not cause a sensation, but some disappointment appeared.
However, the emperor and officials, who knew the difference, were very satisfied and excited.
Many people sighed in their hearts, this is a great achievement, I'm afraid that the champion will be added to the knighthood!
I just don't know how high the title can be and how high the official position can be.
