0636 Emperor Yong'an with a beating heart
Emperor Yong'an decided to wait.
As a result, after just a few days of waiting, he received a secret report.
In Su Jinli's farm, the harvest has begun again!
Wheat and rape were harvested before.
Because the wheat that is left to be planted should be carefully separated, in order to avoid damage to the wheat seeds, you cannot use a thresher directly, but can only rub it by hand.
Therefore, when harvesting, the ears of wheat are cut directly, then the ears are dried in the sun, and then rubbed off by hand.
Naturally, the speed is slower.
But the ears are still drying and haven't started threshing yet.
You'll have to dry it again.
Everything else is almost harvested, and it's all being dried.
It didn't take much manpower to dry, so the golden corn was harvested.
When Emperor Yong'an heard the news, he couldn't help but sneak out of the palace again and went to Su Jinli's farm.
I saw that the corn cobs were all broken off, and the bracts on the outside were peeled off, revealing bulging, golden corn kernels.
When the sun shines, those corn cobs are even more beautiful.
Seeing that Emperor Yong'an was greedy.
He asked the steward to come and asked, "How should I eat this thing?" ”
The steward had already guessed his identity, and his attitude was very respectful: "If you go back to the nobles, this thing is called corn, which can be broken into grains and cooked with rice." It can also be ground into a fine powder and used to steam steamed buns. ”
"Well, that sounds good." Emperor Yong'an sighed with emotion, and asked curiously, "How does it taste?" ”
The steward said cautiously: "I haven't tried this yet, although the master has sent a message that he can try it." However, I am afraid that the small one will affect the final harvest, so I have never tasted it. ”
Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but ask, "...... I've heard that there was a new dish called corn shoots that was popular in restaurants for a while, but it has something to do with it? ”
He was a little angry, since he was afraid that it would affect the final harvest, why did he break down such a small corn and eat it as a vegetable?
It's food!
The steward heard his displeasure, and became more and more cautious: "The noble man does not know, a corn tree can grow several corn buds, but if you don't remove too much, the supply of nutrients is insufficient, and all the corn buds will not grow well."
So after the corn buds grow, they have to be properly picked, leaving one or two, or two or three strong, and the rest must be removed. Only in this way can the remaining corn buds grow better. ”
Emperor Yong'an understood, and the little anger in his heart instantly extinguished.
He looked at those golden corn cobs and couldn't help but ask again: "Then how much do you think can be harvested from this acre of land?" ”
"This ...... I guess I can have a few hundred pounds. The steward knew the identity of Emperor Yong'an, and he didn't dare to say too much, for fear that the yield would not be enough at that time, and Emperor Yong'an felt uncomfortable, "Now that it has just been harvested, it is not clear how much it can be, and it will only be known when it is dried and threshed." ”
Emperor Yong'an thought about it, so he didn't ask any more.
It's just that I really care about it.
So for days, he kept people staring at this side of the farm.
The farm is also busy.
The wheat and rapeseed that are harvested are to be dried, and the wheat that is left behind is to be dried and threshed, and the same is true of corn.
After tossing for half a month, it was finally all dried and threshing.
The output was quickly delivered to Emperor Yong'an.
He looked at the data above, and his heart was pounding with excitement, and he almost fainted!
The yield of the wheat planted is about 1,200 catties per mu.
The yield of corn per mu is about 1,500 catties.
There is also rapeseed, and the yield is not low, reaching 600 catties!
These are all new varieties, and the yields of ordinary wheat and rapeseed grown on the farm are actually higher than those outside.
Emperor Yong'an hurriedly asked people to send the output of the Huangzhuang, and after reading it, the anger in his heart rose up and wanted to cut people. Sands Chinese
The wheat in Huangzhuang has the highest yield of only 500 catties per mu, and the highest yield of rapeseed per mu is only 200 catties!
That's it, I still dare to tell him the good news!
You must know that in Su Jinli's farm, even if it is ordinary wheat, the yield per mu has reached 700 catties! Ordinary rapeseed also has a yield of 300 catties per mu.
In this way, the steward still feels that he is not good enough.
When Emperor Yong'an thought of this, he suddenly secretly wanted to dig into the wall.
That little steward is doing a very good job, and managing a small farm is too condescending, so it is better to help him manage the imperial farm.
If more food comes out, he, the emperor, can be more confident.
You must know that the output of Huangzhuang is all in his inner treasury.
To put it bluntly, that's his private money!
In the future, his pocket will be bulging, and he will be more confident in building the palace.
Thinking about it this way, Emperor Yong'an wanted to dig the foot of the wall even more.
At this moment, news came from below, and there was movement on the farm again!
Emperor Yong'an was a little stunned when he heard the news, and asked Gonggong Li curiously: "What are they doing?" ”
Gonggong Li was also scratching his heart, and he couldn't wait to sneak out to see the excitement: "I heard that I was digging potatoes." ”
Emperor Yong'an was even more curious: "Potatoes? ”
However, Gonggong Li didn't know what a potato was, so he could only scalp and say: "The slave maid has never seen it, it sounds like beans growing in the soil." ”
Emperor Yong'an was extremely curious, so he simply waved his hand: "Go and have a look." ”
So the two of them snuck out again!
When I arrived at the farm, I saw that the potatoes had been dug up, packed in baskets, and weighed.
Emperor Yong'an looked at it curiously.
The freshly dug potatoes were yellow and muddy.
When the potatoes of an acre of land were weighed, Emperor Yongan couldn't wait to ask: "Is it finished?" How much is the production? ”
The steward looked at the statistics and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head, and said cautiously: "This acre of land is counted as 2,500 catties, but there is mud on it, and the actual one is definitely not so much." ”
Emperor Yong'an didn't care.
He had seen it with his own eyes, and although it was indeed mud on it, it was not much.
How much does it add up?
It can't weigh five hundred pounds.
A hundred pounds will reach the sky.
In this way, the yield of this thing called potatoes per mu has reached 2,400 catties?
I just don't know how to eat.
Although he had never eaten it, Emperor Yong'an had no doubt that this thing could be eaten.
What do you do without eating seeds?
He was so excited that he refused to leave, but he watched the potatoes dug up with his own eyes, weighed them all, and then sold two stiff legs, and shook his head all the way back to the palace.
The next day, the farm harvested sweet potatoes, and Emperor Yong'an didn't even go to the court, so he went early in the morning.
The sweet potatoes in the ground were dug out and weighed, and Emperor Yong'an's heartbeat could no longer be controlled.
As soon as the soil was dug up, the sweet potatoes under the head grew densely.
After weighing, the output of one acre of land actually reached 4,000 catties!
If this thing is promoted, who dares to say that it is not good?
Emperor Yong'an stayed on the farm for another day before returning to the palace.
He was so excited that he wanted to find someone to show off immediately, but as soon as he opened the fold, he exploded!
