Chapter 110: Finally Caught the Chance to Eat Beef
Although Li Ke doesn't farm, he hasn't had much contact with these. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but how high the grain yield per mu of Datang is, this will be reported every year, and he is still very clear. And the output in front of him has exceeded his imagination too far!
"This yield is a bit on the high side, and in fact these sweet potatoes should be planted in more barren land, so as not to take up the main food land. I'm also taking care of it well, and the energy and fertilizer spent are also sufficient, so the actual output should be about 10 to 15 koku. ”
Seeing Li Ke's reaction, Li explained with a smile. Sweet potatoes do yield a little more than the average grain, but it's not that outrageous. The fertility of the land will also be affected by natural disasters.
Otherwise, why there are these high-yield crops in history and after the Ming Dynasty, so many people still starve to death, it is because of this reason. However, relatively speaking, this yield is already higher than the yield of any grain at this time.
"Ten to fifteen stone is enough! Very sufficient! Li Ke interrupted Li Hao's words excitedly, the public acceptance of the grain production in the Tang Dynasty was that millet yielded 1-2 stones per mu, and rice yielded the highest, but it was 4-5 stones per mu.
However, these grains add up to nothing compared to the sweet potatoes in front of you, with a yield of ten to fifteen stones per mu! It's 2-5 times that of those grains, this yield is not too high, can Li Ke not be excited?
It's just that today is destined to be a day that Li Ke can't calm down, and the sweet potatoes here have just been counted. The wealthy businessmen of the Xiaoxiang Chamber of Commerce over there also came over, and they came to count the output of Li Hao's second-season rice planting.
At this time, the second crop of rice has just been harvested, and it has been dried and ready to be put into storage. How much is the output, this time is just right to measure. When Li Ke saw these people coming, he couldn't help but follow over curiously.
When the first crop of rice had just been harvested and the second crop of rice was planted, Li Ke had already returned to Chang'an, and he didn't know much about what was going on here. Now seeing these wealthy businessmen running over to see the second crop of rice, Li Ke feels that this matter does not seem to be so simple.
"Heavy? Are the results out? "The weighing place was already full of people, and no one else could squeeze in. At this time, the rich businessmen standing outside couldn't wait for the result, and ripped their throats and shouted inside.
"Four and a half stones!" Soon someone inside roared loudly, and this is another miracle data! In the first season, they came together to witness the yield of one acre of land, which was five and a half stones, and now it is four and a half stones, and the total weight is ten stones.
"Ten stones! Ten stones per mu in two seasons! It's a miracle! When the people outside heard the words inside, they all boiled. For them, at this time, the yield of ten stones per mu a year is really a miracle!
The highest recorded yield of rice in the south is six stone per mu in two crops, which is already a miracle. Unexpectedly, after Li Shaojun came over, he directly surpassed that miracle by a large margin, and the yield per mu was ten stones!
"This figure is already on the high side, but if I cultivate two crops of rice in my normal way, the yield should be about 6-7 stones." Li Hao smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained to Li Ke first.
In particular, the quality of the seeds and soil must be clarified. In fact, his yield of ten stones per mu is not considered to be a good planting, because the seeds are good. This seed comes from the system, but in the same way it was cultivated at this time.
If calculated according to the cultivation pattern of later generations, the yield of this grain per mu should be about 10 to 15 stone per acre. The yield per mu is ten stone or more per season, which is estimated to be super rice, and it is difficult to achieve ordinary rice.
"Brother Xian, these things will make the people of Datang remember you forever!" Li Ke didn't know how to express what he meant at this time, but he grabbed Li Hao's hand excitedly and trembled.
It has been a year since he came to Tanzhou to be the governor, and Li Ke is not ignorant of people's livelihood. What is the significance of Li Hao's doing, he can naturally understand. Even if it can produce 6-7 stone of grain per mu, this is a significant increase.
You must know that Li Hao's cultivated land is not a high-quality fertile land, and if it is replaced by fertile land, the yield may be even higher. This is equivalent to an increase in production by almost half on the original basis, which is another miracle!
"You're wrong! It's not remembering me, it's remembering us! I got the things out, how to promote them, how to let the people grow these things, that's your business, so you still have a share of the credit for this matter. ”
Quietly pulling his hand away, Li Hao looked at the rich businessmen who were as excited as Li Ke, and felt a little cool in his heart. The feeling of admiration is different, although there are reasons for cheating.
"How to grow these grains, and how to process the things grown into all kinds of delicious food, I will record them in the book, organize them into a book and publish them, and then I will ask Brother Li to preface my book, how about it?"
"I don't have enough order! Go back and ask the emperor to give you the title of the book, so that the entire Tang Dynasty can see this book!" Li Ke is not a fool, although Li Hao didn't say anything, he also knew that Li Hao was helping him.
Datang is not short of martial arts now, but Wenzhi is not enough. The growth of food and population has always been the best way to assess parents and officials in various places, and Li Hao easily helped achieve these two points.
Li Hao likes to publish books, likes to adopt and teach children, likes to fiddle with food, likes to make some strange things, and likes to make money. As a friend, these Li Ke will try his best to help in the future.
Now it seems that I just took a fancy to this guy and dated more specially, and now I have made a lot of money. The benefits that Li Hao can bring to himself are far more than what he sees now.
This Li Ke knows very well that maybe one day he can go to a position that he never thought of, so it also makes him look more and more important to Li in his heart.
"Shaolang-kun! Shaolang-kun! Our Zhuangzi fell and injured a ploughing cow! On this day, Li Hao was discussing with Li Ke about water conservancy in winter, and Lao Sun was also here. A young man ran in from outside with an anxious look and shouted, looking a little worried.
"It's a good fall! Fell well! Finally got the chance to eat beef! When Li Ke heard the news, he immediately jumped up excitedly. I've been in Tanzhou for so long, and it's pitiful to see that I haven't eaten beef once.
"Ugh!" Li Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, didn't he fall and hurt a cow? So happy to use it? The old grandson next to him also looked disdainful, and almost didn't write a few words on his face, "Meat eaters despise it!" ”
"Hehe, I haven't eaten beef for a long time, and now I can't help but want to eat it when I see this opportunity?" After seeing the reactions of the other two people, Li Ke realized that he seemed to be acting too much at this time, and couldn't help but explain embarrassedly.
