"As I expected." Qi Zhaodi looked at Si Si's appearance and said.

Same as potatoes, larger than potatoes, red skin, green leaves!

Si Si carefully observed some familiar seeds in his hand, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Is this it?" Si Si couldn't control his expression excitedly, his mouth was grinning wide, and he looked a little silly, "This is a sweet potato!" ”

"Sweet potato? Is this his name? Why is it all so weird? Qi Zhaodi looked at Si Si's happy appearance with some doubts on her face.

"Of course, this is a good thing, with this thing, even if there is no food to eat, you will not be afraid, this can be eaten as food!"

Sisi thought excitedly.

In the past, when I was in the countryside, my grandmother's house in the countryside would always make a lot of sweet potatoes, and then cut them into small pieces of filaments, put them in the sun to dry, and make sweet potato rice, which is used to cook rice with a special sweetness, and the sweet potato leaves can also be used to stir-fry and eat, which can be described as a lot of one stone!

"Is this really as good as you say?" Qi Zhaodi said in disbelief, didn't expect that the things she casually asked her subordinates to bring back would be so useful?

"That's not when I lied to you!"

The yield of sweet potatoes is much more than that of rice, and the production capacity per mu is generally 7,000 catties in spring and 5,000 catties in summer.

Moreover, this kind of thing grows very fast, about a month is enough when planting seedlings in the early stage, and it only takes more than a month or two months when the roots grow later.

It is okay to plant a stubble first and eat the sweet potato leaves as a vegetable, and then wait for the sweet potatoes to grow slowly.

"Well, now we have this thing and we don't have to worry about it at all." Si Si's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Now the seedlings in the field are almost no yield, and the next season of planting will take another four months, after planting, it will take more than three months to mature, during which we can plant some sweet potatoes first to solve the gap problem in this period." ”

Si Si was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and he wanted to take this bag of seeds back and plant them immediately.

Sweet potatoes are particularly light-loving and warm-loving, and receive light for a long time every day, which is also very beneficial to the growth of its stems and leaves, and is also beneficial to the expansion of tuber roots.

And sweet potato is a drought-tolerant crop, do not need to be watered all the time, the most suitable place to grow sweet potato should be deep in the soil, rich in organic matter, it is best to be able to grow in sandy loam soil.

After Si Si finished asking, there is a mountain behind Zhuangzi, and the land on the mountain seems to be sandy loam, and they can go to the mountain to cultivate it and use it to grow sweet potatoes, which is the most suitable.

"That's it." Qi Zhaodi listened to Si Si say this, and also had her own thoughts in her heart, "It should need a lot of manpower, I will send some more people over, and I will go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to listen to your orders." ”

Lu Yan, who was listening to their speeches on the side, also raised his eyes thoughtfully, and said, "Madam, is this sweet potato really as productive as you say?" ”

"Of course!" Qi Zhaodi nodded and said affirmatively. Chinese bar

Lu Yan was thoughtful, as if he wanted to say something, but when he raised his eyes and saw that there were still outsiders present, he closed his mouth.

It's still a little inconvenient to talk about those things, so I'll talk to her about them when I go in the evening! Lu Yan thought in his heart.

After saying this for a while, half an hour passed at once, and the guy walked in with the freshly baked breadfruit, Si Si personally got his hands on it, cut it open and handed it to Qi Zhaodi, who was full of praise for it when he tasted it.

"It's really good, it's unexpectedly delicious!"

"That's it!" It's a pity that my current output is still too small, so I have to study it carefully, and I can also sell it in the store after planting more bread trees.

Si Si felt that he was very busy now, and he wanted to plant that and he wanted to study this, and the time was squeezed together, but it was okay, Si Si's favorite thing was to deal with these plants.

After saying goodbye to Qi Zhaodi, Si Sihuan happily took the sweet potato seeds that had just arrived in his hand and went home with Lu Yan.

As soon as she returned home, Si Siyou immediately rushed into the study with the seeds, and now she has to quickly find out all the knowledge about growing sweet potatoes in her mind, and then write it down, and she will go to plant this sweet potato in the field early tomorrow morning.

Just as Si Si was so excited that he was writing with a pen, Lu Yan walked in and looked at Si Si who was struggling to write, pursed his lips slightly and said, "Si Si, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

After Si Si heard the voice, he raised his head, looked at Lu Yan, who was a little hesitant in front of him, blinked his eyes and said, "It's good to say no directly if there is something, it doesn't look like you usually look like you at all." ”

"I want to take some sweet potato seeds and give them to the emperor."

Lu Yan said this idea of his own, and then said a lot.

Now, the grain production in various places has decreased, and there are many places where people do not have enough food to eat, and they are starved to the point of yellow and thin muscles, and the court has been looking for this method, hoping to solve this problem.

"I just heard you say that the yield of sweet potatoes, there are thousands of catties per acre of land, which is much more than white rice, if you can hand over these things to the emperor and let him distribute them to the people all over the country, it will definitely be able to save many people's lives."

Speaking of this, Lu Yan looked at Si Si very seriously, and said seriously: "But this is just my idea, if you don't want to, I won't force it." ”

"How could you not want to?" Si Si blinked his eyes and burst out laughing, "I thought you were going to tell me something important, it turned out to be this, don't worry, even if you don't say that I have this plan!" ”

"Of course, I hope to be able to make money at the same time, I can benefit the people a lot!" Just like Mr. Yuan Longping.

When Si Si was studying before, he always used this gentleman as his example, hoping that one day he could become a person like Mr. Yuan.

Although this plane is a little wrong, this idea of mine is still achievable!

"But this time I don't have the idea of going incognito." Sisi also has his own considerations.

Previously, the strategies for preventing and controlling the drought were not something that he, a small peasant girl, could come up with, so Sisi was still very willing to let others take over the matter.
