Facts have proved that even the people of the Tang Dynasty can't get rid of the law of true incense.

Three completely different, unheard of delicacy in a row, the stomachs of the emperor and his ministers were conquered.

Especially Li Shimin, whether it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, this is easy to be full, one has a lot of starch and sugar, the other has a lot of starch, plus popcorn, Li Shimin actually feels half full.

In fact, he felt his stomach swell slightly.

"Ye Aiqing, these things are well-deserved good things! I just don't know if it's good to plant or not, and what is the yield? ”

"If this can be eaten by all the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will be regarded as a great achievement!" Li Shimin smacked his teeth and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this sweet potato is drought and waterlogging tolerant but not cold-tolerant, but it is more water-loving, and sufficient water is the best, and the yield will be much higher. It can be divided into spring sweet potatoes and summer sweet potatoes, spring sweet potatoes are cultivated in April and May, and the harvest can be seen in four months, and the yield per mu is about 3,000 catties! ”

Before the words were finished, everyone was shocked by the yield of about 3,000 catties per mu. What does this represent? A person in the prime of life grows an acre of land, then a year's food is solved! That's all there is to be left!

However, Ye Mu didn't finish speaking, so he ignored their shock and doubts, and continued to say to himself: "Summer potatoes are planted in mid-June, and the harvest can be seen in October, with a yield of about 2,000 catties per mu. ”

"Whether it is spring potatoes or summer potatoes, as long as the water pipes are enough, the service is good, and the cold is not suffered, the yield can be at least increased by at least 1,000 catties!"

"Hiss~"

The sound of inhalation in the main hall was suddenly similar one after another, even Li Shimin on the platform.

This kind of figure is exaggerated beyond their imagination, and they have never heard of a thousand catties per mu, let alone two thousand catties or three thousand catties. However, this shock has been followed by more doubts.

This seems to be an endless stream of auspiciousness from ancient times to the present. But the ministers all know how much water there is in those auspicious rays, because they can also make all kinds of auspicious rays as long as they want.

Li Shimin's heart is naturally full of doubts.

So after gasping, Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Ye Mu, "You said that the yield per mu is 2,000 catties and 3,000 catties, and you can take care of another 1,000 catties, this is not child's play!?" ”

Ye Mu smiled, "Back to Your Majesty, it's not child's play." ”

"If it's child's play......" Li Shimin didn't finish speaking, his face showed a dangerous aura, and his eyes were full of the words 'you know'.

"If it's child's play, Weichen's good head is offered!" Ye Mu replied confidently.

Kidding, it's just the middle of June, and he's back just in time for the summer potato planting. In addition, he chose the best and largest sweet potatoes to plant. Coupled with strong internal force, it will not be bitten by rats and insects at all, not to mention anything else, it is absolutely no problem to produce 2,000 catties per mu.

"Good! Deal! Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He didn't think that if Ye Mu said it but it wasn't a thing, he would want Ye Mu's head, but it was necessary to beat it well.

"Your Majesty! The minister has a book to play! An anxious person also felt that Ye Mu was really, so he jumped out and prepared to make accusations.

However, Li Shimin understood what he meant, and waved his hand, "Aiqing, step back first, and wait for Ye Aiqing to continue to finish!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The courtier gritted his teeth unwillingly, glanced at Ye Mu with a sneer, and retreated.

"Okay, Ye Aiqing, you go on." Li Shimin nodded at Ye Mu.

"Yes!" Ye Mu gave up, since he became an official, Ye Mu's officialdom etiquette has never had a problem.

"Potatoes, the time to grow them varies greatly depending on the region. In short, it likes coolness, drought tolerance and not heat tolerance! As long as it's as warm as spring, you can farm! ”

"And the yield per mu is also very high! Generally, there can be about 3,000 catties to 5,000 catties, if it is high, the seeds are excellent, and even 8,000 catties per mu! ”

"What's more, unlike sweet potatoes, it can be eaten as a staple food! Moreover, the practice is changeable and the preservation time is long. ”

"It and sweet potatoes can also be made into vermicelli. The so-called vermicelli is actually like dried cold noodles! Make vermicelli, as long as you keep them dry, you can leave them for a few years! When eating, boiling water can be boiled for half a column of incense. ”

"It can also be cooked and dried, and it can also be stored for a period of time."

Listening to Ye Mu's words like an idiot talking about a dream, everyone swallowed in disbelief.

But although I doubted it, I felt that it was probably true.

If it is fake, how can this golden champion stand here so magnificently? If you can connect the three yuan and become the champion, there is no problem with your brain! Since you dare to say it so riskily, from a certain point of view, I am afraid that what you say is true.

But it's because of this that they find it shocking and incredible. If this is true, then as long as the world is announced and everyone is allowed to plant these, won't there be no famine in Datang in the future? Wouldn't it become a few words in history forever?

Thinking of this, some idealistic ministers were excited. Datong society, full of food and clothing, this is the ultimate ideal society of Wenchen. To be able to achieve the point that the people are fed, that is a great merit and a great achievement!

But Ye Mu hasn't finished talking yet, and the rest of the corn hasn't been said yet, this is also a high-yield grain!

In later generations, only wheat and rice were higher than corn, and potatoes were ranked below corn.

"Finally, it's called corn, and it's also a good crop that can be used as a staple food!"

"This corn is three months long, about 100 days to mature, and it is best to plant it from late April to early May! No later than mid-July! ”

"Its yield is not high, about 700 catties to 1,200 catties, if the planting conditions are not good, it is only four or five hundred catties. Like wheat and rice, it is durable, and as long as it is kept dry, it can last for many years. However, there are not so many ways to make this thing, when it is first ripe and the fruit is tender, it can be boiled and roasted. The fruit is fully ripe and can be ground into powder and eaten. ”

"In addition to these three, there are actually a few crops, but they are all a few vegetables, and for the people, it is too early to plant them before they solve the problem of eating."

Then, Ye Mu told him about the tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, sunflowers, and the crops he found that were introduced to China after the Tang Dynasty.

And their advantages and disadvantages are introduced.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and their eyebrows danced. The first ones don't matter to these people. But what I said later can greatly improve their lives.

Although Ye Mu just took out some seeds and let them watch, they all basically believed it.

Because of the Tang Dynasty during this period, there were already a lot of foreigners. Over the years, there have indeed been some crops that have never been seen before, so there is no doubt about what Ye Mu said.

What makes them question is the yield per mu of the three crops mentioned before.
