Listen to Wang Ya'er, who reacted quickly, to everyone, "So it's really a big baby, it can be used as food, and it is easy to grow, what does it mean?"

It means a lot of food! You think, now we ordinary people have little land on hand, and the harvest in these years is not good.

If we replace the land originally used to grow food with sweet potatoes, what do you think about the harvest, and our people are still afraid of starvation? ”

"yes."

At this moment, everyone reacted.

Some team members looked at the bunch of sweet potatoes in their hands, weighed them with their hands, and there must be several catties, so how much can be planted on the ground?

A few hundred pounds is definitely there.

Once a few hundred catties, isn't there a few thousand catties per acre of land?

With a yield of several thousand catties of grain per mu, you can eat enough just by eating this!

Isn't it a great credit that such a high-yield grain was discovered by them?

Before the team members had time to get excited, they listened to Wang Ya'er again, "We found such an important thing, if it is really as Hong'e said, we can report it to the county master, and let the county master report to the imperial court."

We will never burn this merit, and when the time comes, the court will have to set up a memorial arch for us, and issue a commendation or something, which is an honor for the blessing of the descendants. ”

Her words made everyone even more excited, it turned out that the discovery of a plant can have such a great credit, it is simply too cost-effective.

However, some players reacted.

"But, Hong'e, there are varieties written on the plant encyclopedia, obviously someone has already discovered it, why do you still say that we don't have it?"

"That's right", the others reacted.

Li Hong'e explained to them again, "Okay, it's actually like this, isn't our plant encyclopedia compiled by Master Zheng Wen?"

She had seen it in an ancient book, and she knew the value of it and went to look for it, but she didn't find it in the entire Chu country, so she had to copy it and wait for future generations to find it. ”

"So we found something legendary?"

That's even more remarkable.

But I heard Li Hong'e say again, "No, didn't the captain find this plant encyclopedia from the relics of Lord Zheng Wen's descendants?"

This descendant grew up in Fanbang, and his codex is also recorded. ”

"So in fact, this sweet potato is a product of Fanbang?"

"That's right, and it's very common in Fanbang countries, and it's one of the grains that ordinary people usually grow, feeding an unknown number of people."

"Okay, no wonder it's called sweet potato, it turns out to be from Fanbang. However, it is so ordinary in Fanbang, and it is still something that can replace rice noodles, why haven't we heard of it? ”

The fast-talking Wang Ya'er explained for her, "Xiaozhen, you are stupid, this is their food, salt and iron grain is the foundation of a country, how can others allow it to spread out to feed the people of other countries, especially this state has been at war with our Great Chu State for a long time." ”

Everyone talked about you and me.

After Xue Langjing and the others came, they also saw what they were doing.

I heard some team members repeat Wang Ya'er's words.

If you find this thing, you can still get the archway and commendation?

Isn't this torii and commendation what she needs most?

With this thing, you have a greater grasp of what you want to do.

For the sake of prudence, she still confirmed it with Li Hong'e.

After getting the affirmation, I plan to dig up all these sweet potatoes.

。

"Wait a minute", everyone was about to dig sweet potatoes, but was interrupted by Li Hong'e.

The team members were puzzled, "What?" ”

"Be careful when digging later, don't cut the vine seedlings on it."

"What can Fuji Miao do? Is it also worth the money. ”

"It's not valuable, but we can take it back and plant cuttings."

"What? Take this vine back and plant it? Can this vine be planted? ”

"Yes, under normal circumstances, sweet potatoes are best planted in March and April, but we pick them from the wild forest and can grow them alive at any time. Moreover, we have high temperature and rain here, and it is evergreen all year round, so it is no problem to plant in July and August.

Of course, the sooner such a good thing is produced, the better, so that people can see its value as soon as possible. ”

Well, I see.

The people began to dig sweet potatoes with small hoes.

Digging sweet potatoes with a small hoe is not easy to dig, especially be careful not to damage the vine seedlings, and be extra careful when digging.

Li Hong'e saw that everyone was nervous, so she said to everyone, "Don't be so careful, as long as you don't break the vine seedlings with at least two buds, we want it, it doesn't matter if anything else." ”

As she spoke, she also squatted down, chose a seedling with two knots, pinched the bottom of the knot, and explained to everyone, "Start here, the top is the seedling we want, and you can grab other parts at will." ”

Then, according to her way, the people dug up the sweet potatoes and the vines.

After going back, in order to confirm whether this is a sweet potato, Li Hong'e also specially took out the plant encyclopedia and turned it to the position of the sweet potato for everyone to identify.

Comparing the pictures, it is naturally easy to confirm the authenticity of the fake.

It's the sweet potato.

Now that it's confirmed, of course, the vine seedlings have to be cut.

Don't look at it, it only has seedlings cut out of the ground, these vine seedlings can be planted on several acres of land.

It is said that the Xue family has no other land except for the fruit forest.

Just let it be planted in the orchard.

There are thousands of acres of land in the fruit forest, and there are many varieties, and there are always some of them that have just been harvested recently and have been vacated, so they can be planted in.

Everyone only heard that this sweet potato can be used as food, but the specific method is not yet known.

On the same day, I boiled some directly in water.

It's just boiled in boiling water, and the sweet potatoes that don't have anything in them have a fragrance when they are cooked.

When I broke it open, I found that it was red inside, and when I took a bite, it was even sweet, delicious and soft.

Everyone praised the food.

Such a good thing, when rations are absolutely fine.

And they cut off all the vine seedlings that could be used, as the book had taught, and took them to plant the morrow.

That night, Xue Langjing told Zheng Linchu about the sweet potato, after all, it was the credit of her ancestors and her family.

In fact, the reason why I talked about this with the other party was not mainly to tell her, but to talk about the archway proposed by Wang Yaer.

Why is this torii so important to her?

It's because she plans to start a clan.

Why did you send favors to the villagers before?

Isn't it just for the sake of building a clan?

Not everyone is able to establish a clan, and its conditions are extremely harsh.

First of all, the person who established the clan must at least have made great contributions to the society, be deeply supported by the people around him, be respected by everyone, and must be officially reviewed before he is qualified to establish a clan.

Isn't it a big credit for discovering a high-yield grain that can fill the stomachs of more people?

Therefore, this torii is extremely useful to her, who intends to establish a clan.
