Chapter 347: A Bumper Harvest of Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

The Han army battalion, the offensive was quickly blocked, and it was expected to break through the beachhead, but the Qi army suddenly changed formations, and the elite of the rear formation formed a battle formation to press up.

Dong Ning, who was in command of the battle, changed his face, and he was still the same Qi army, the Qi army who secretly learned the formation of his own Han army.

Not to mention that this grandson of Mud joined the Qi army, he even trained for the Qi people, if he let himself catch him, he would have to kill his grandson.

"Give me a charge, long qiāng soldiers, gather in formation, rush, break through this Qi army, and we will win."

Dong Ning roared hoarsely.

……

After a stick of incense, Dong Ning stabilized the formation and roared at the lieutenant behind him.

"What about the reserves, bring them up for me."

"Made, it's been a long time since I've fought a battle like this, and this Qi army is quite capable of resisting."

Dong Ning's face was full of madness, although this battle was difficult, it felt very refreshing to advance step by step.

The lieutenant of the rear battalion ran up crookedly, panting: "Governor, the reserve team has not come up, and Captain Cao has not passed the military order for a while." ”

Dong Ning's face changed, Cao Hua did not pass the military order, and the reserve team was broken again, which was an attack on the battalion. Li Erniu wanted to withdraw his troops several times just now, could it be because the camp was attacked.

"Assemble the army, prepare to withdraw."

Dong Ning said in a calm voice, the camp was attacked, and he must bring this team back completely, the camp was breached, and the Qingjiang camp was finished.

An hour later, Dong Ningtong returned to the north bank with the remnants of the defeated army, and most of his guards were lost.

Seeing the north shore where there was no war, and Cao Hua, who was held hostage by several Chinese soldiers, Dong Ning became angry.

Lao Tzu fought in front, Li Erniu, you fucking fooled around here, and arrested Cao Hua, a few slaps were thrown in the face of the soldiers who held Cao Hua hostage, and they retreated again and again, Dong Ning pointed at Li Erniu's nose and roared out.

"Li Erniu, what do you want to do!"

"Now it's a war, Lao Tzu captured the beachhead in one fell swoop, and in half an hour he will be able to lay the foundation, and the good situation will be ruined by you."

"You wait, today's war, I will definitely write to the three provinces, Your Majesty, to write to the prince, and let Your Majesty clean up your coward."

"Enough!"

Lao Li's face turned pale: "The Qi army has already risen and formed an army formation, and you have refused to withdraw several times, what do you want me to do?"

The reserves are all pressed up, who is responsible in case of defeat? Last time, 3,000 soldiers were killed in the war, and I have been reprimanded by the three provinces, and Your Majesty has asked me, if there is any more damage today, what will I do to the government and the opposition. ”

……

In the Huangzhuang of the capital, Su Lu stood outside the potato field, looked at the yellowed crop field, and said to Li Qing next to him.

"Push the potatoes into the world, you have the greatest credit, you come to announce the excavation."

Li Qing's cheeks were overjoyed, and he returned the shovel to Su Lu.

"It's still you, the Han Kingdom can have today, it depends on you, this potato can be discovered, so that the people of the Han Kingdom will no longer starve, and hope is also yours."

Su Lu laughed and threw the shovel to Li Zhuangtou next to him.

"Come, Li Zhuangtou, you have the greatest credit here, this first potato, you come to dig it, if you dig less, the title will not be promoted."

Li Zhuangtou's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was overjoyed, this is the prince's praise for himself.

His eyes were rolling around, and he wandered around the field for a long time, trying to find out which one was the best to grow.

"That's it."

Li Zhuangtou chose one with a smile, looked at Su Lu and His Majesty, and waited for them to give an order.

Li Qing smiled and said: "Okay, this potato planting is good, you are the first to start." ”

Li Zhuangtou shoveled off the leaves on it, secretly inspected the range of the potatoes, and went down with a shovel.

The moist earth was dug up, and in the middle of the black-brown crumbles, large and small potatoes were exposed, the largest being the size of an adult's fist, and the smallest being only the size of a hawthorn.

After digging out the potatoes, Li Zhuangtou dropped the shovel, carefully grabbed the roots of the potatoes, and pulled the potatoes out of the soil with a little force.

After a few moments, the potatoes were pulled out of the whole plant.

"One, two...... Thirteen! ”

Yu Wei, who was full of smiles, said, his face was full of pride, the establishment of the Department of Persuading Agriculture is led by his Ministry of Industry, and most of the officials are from the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, according to this output, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest."

Yu Wei slipped the potatoes and said as if offering treasures.

Li Qing didn't understand this, so he could only look at Su Lu.

Su Lu nodded: "Although the output is not as high as that, there is no problem with eight or nine hundred catties." ”

Yang Biao's face in the back was full of shock, what does it mean to have a yield of eight or nine hundred catties per mu, he is the most clear in this household, and now the wheat is generally three or four hundred catties, eight or nine hundred catties, which is really amazing.

Su Lu continued: "This potato variety is not good, if the variety is better, with enough water and fertilizer, the yield can be doubled." ”

Yang Biao opened his mouth wide and looked at Su Lu in confusion, isn't this a joke?

Thinking of Su Lu's exploits in the past, Yang Biao almost slapped himself, what the prince said, do you need to doubt it?

Whether it is a military formation or agricultural affairs, the prince is not sure to be true, this potato, the yield is definitely no problem.

Everyone started to excavate these dozens of acres of land at the same time, and soon one acre was dug up, and Han Zhao of the Agricultural Division commanded several servants to dig up the potatoes.

Looking at the number recorded in the book, Han Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he still pushed him before he could react.

"Great!"

Han Zhao shouted, holding the book and running in the direction of Su Lu and Li Qing, shouting as he ran.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty, great joy, the yield per mu is ......"

"Poof"

Han Zhao stepped on a freshly dug potato pit, his body slammed down, and the whole person threw himself into the newly dug soil, making a dirty face.

Regardless of his disgraced face, Han Zhao crawled and crawled, covered in mud, and arrived in front of Su Lu and Li Qing.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, the yield per mu is 1024 catties, which is more than twice the yield of wheat, we have only planted a few thousand mu this year, if we plant tens of thousands of mu, we will no longer have to be afraid of the famine in the Han Kingdom."

Su Lu nodded, the purpose of planting potatoes by himself was to ensure that the Han country had enough food, not only to meet the people's livelihood, but also to meet the needs of the military food in various places.

We can't fight here as before, and we have to worry about where to rob ourselves, otherwise tomorrow the army will be cut off.

Yang Biao in the back almost jumped up: "Master Han, is this number true?" ”

When Han Zhao was happy, he didn't bother with Yang Biao, and handed over the book directly.

"Your Excellency, please take a look."

Yang Biao took the book, glanced at it, and immediately smiled, as a household secretary, he knows the pressure of lack of food best, with such an output, there is no need to worry about the lack of food in the army.

Su Lu asked the little four next to him and said, "Has the yield of sweet potatoes come out, it is also a good thing, and the yield is not low." ”

Su Lu's words shocked Yang Biao and Yu Wei's spirits, and the two asked at the same time:

"How does it compare to potato yields?"

"Equal"

Su Lu replied calmly.
