Chapter 432: A Bumper Harvest of Winter Wheat

The winter wheat was so short that it looked like it was malnourished and hadn't grown enough.

However, it was only when the wheat was harvested that the villagers found out.

Although these winter wheat are short, the ears are long and large, and the grains are full.

In this way, it seems that there will be no reduction in production.

However, before the wheat is harvested, they have no way to judge the true yield.

And the king of Shu seems to be trying to help them solve their doubts, so he specially ordered someone to harvest an acre of wheat and put it aside alone.

Then he ordered people to beat the wheat out and measure the yield.

And the wheat of this acre of land selected by Li Su, the king of Shu, did not choose the one with the best rise, but randomly selected.

In this way, the wheat yield of this acre is sufficient to represent the average yield of all wheat fields.

On the same day, the wheat of this acre of land was threshed in the field.

When they saw the whole field of wheat, the people were amazed.

This is not quite what they imagined.

In their imagination, the yield of these winter wheat will be much lower than that of normal wheat.

But now it appears that instead of decreasing the winter wheat yield, it is much higher than normal.

Can this winter wheat be more productive than spring wheat?

Two days later, the wheat in the field had been dried, and Li Su ordered someone to pack up the wheat and then weigh it specifically.

This acre of wheat is more than 630 catties!

This output once again made those people gasp.

They had realized that winter wheat would yield more than spring wheat, but they did not expect that much more.

The yield of spring wheat they planted per mu is only more than 300 catties.

And the yield of winter wheat is almost double that of spring wheat they plant!

This is so surprising to them!

If they all switch to winter wheat in the future, wouldn't the grain be doubled all at once?

And Li Su, the king of Shu, seemed to see through the thoughts of the villagers, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's not that winter wheat has a higher yield than spring wheat, but that these winter wheat varieties are better, so they can have a high yield." ”

"Well, one of the advantages of growing winter wheat is that after the wheat is harvested, you can also grow sweet potatoes, corn, or peanuts. After harvesting these sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts in the fall, winter wheat can be sown. ”

In this way, the grain can be harvested from one crop a year to three crops in two years. If it is equal to two years, it can produce an extra year. ”

Hearing the words of Li Su, the king of Shu, these people were stunned again!

Oh my!

Is what the King of Shu said true?

If that's the case, then they can really live a good life in the future!

Some people didn't believe it and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, is what you said true?" Now after harvesting wheat, planting sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts, you can harvest in autumn? Won't there be a reduction in production? ”

This is something that has been confirmed in later generations, but people in this era have never done this.

They will be suspicious of the difficulties.

Actually, that's not much of anything.

If you tell them that there is rice that crops twice a year, or even in those tropical areas, there is rice that crops three times a year, it will probably make them faint with excitement, right?

Fortunately, Li Su doesn't have such a bad taste.

"Of course, there will be no reduction in yields, and after the wheat is harvested, the king will name you to plough the land, and then plant sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts. In the fall, you'll be able to see if there will be a reduction in production. ”

Hearing the words of the King of Shu, these people really put their hearts at ease.

What kind of person is the King of Shu? That's the gods descending from heaven!

King Shu, how could he lie to them?

Since the king of Shu said that it can be done, then it must be able to do it!

In this way, they will not have to worry about running out of food from now on.

They seem to have seen that good days are beckoning to them.

The faces of these people were filled with joyful smiles, and the corners of their mouths could not be closed.

Even many old people wept with joy, squatting on the ground and crying bitterly.

"Woo, I can finally live a good life!"

"Yes, with this winter wheat, sweet potato, corn and peanuts, you don't have to worry about going hungry in the future!"

"Our good days are coming!"

"All of this was brought to us by the King of Shu, we can't forget our roots!"

"Needless to say? If we forget our roots, are we still human? ”

After harvesting the wheat, the next step is to thresh the wheat and put it into the warehouse.

The next step is to plant three new crops: sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts.

And the winter wheat harvested by Li Su decided to use it as a weight and promote it throughout Jiannan Province.

The price of promotion is only two percent higher than the price of ordinary wheat.

The wheat seeds, which have such a high yield and such a cheap price, have caused the people of Jiannan Province to rush to buy them frantically.

Fortunately, this year's harvest is quite good, and the people of the entire Jiannan Province do not need so much grain.

The rest, Li Su sold directly to the people in other places.

I believe that in a few years, these wheat seeds will be able to spread throughout Datang.

Of course, if this wheat seed is left for a few years, it will not be pure, and the yield per mu will drop significantly.

In the future, Li Su is not ready to buy grain directly from the mall.

This work was handed over to Yang Mingzhao, an agricultural expert.

Yang Mingzhao is responsible for the cultivation of grain and how to increase crop yields.

In the future, Yizhou will also become the grain cultivation base of the entire Datang.

The people of the entire Tang Dynasty will buy the grain cultivated in Yizhou.

This all-round leadership will make Yizhou gradually become the most prosperous city in Datang.

In fact, the increasingly thriving tourism industry has brought too many changes to Yizhou.

With the continuous promotion of Xia Yuntian, editor-in-chief of Yizhou Monthly, there are more and more tourist attractions in Yizhou.

The development of tourism has made the people of Yizhou follow the benefits.

Like the villagers of Xiaohe Village, naturally there is no need to say it.

The people of the whole village have started all kinds of businesses because of tourism.

Relying on these businesses alone, their income is much higher than that from farming.

As for other people, because of the tourism drive, such as hotels, catering, transportation, etc., has brought countless business opportunities.

Those who have a flexible mind and a little capital have already made a lot of money.

Even those who are honest will not engage in these businesses.

But now the prosperity of Yizhou has also brought countless job opportunities.

As long as they are willing to work, they will not worry about not being able to earn wages.

In just one year, the per capita income of the entire Yizhou has at least doubled, or even more than that.
