Chapter 333: Shocking good news

With a doppelganger in his personal space and receiving the best divine stones on time, Chen Yu no longer pays attention to the cornucopia.

With a hundred top-grade divine stones added every day, his mood couldn't be better.

Walking on the green fields, breathing in the fresh air, he was relaxed and happy, and quietly cast the pupil of mixed yuan.

Everywhere the eye scanned, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn all grew a little, and the vitality was even stronger.

Twenty days later, Hu Ren and wanted criminals lurking in Jinghe County were either driven out or taken to prison.

More than 100,000 people in Jinghe County, most of them are not full of food and clothing, and if the report is successful, they can get at least one or two pieces of silver.

You don't want to report? Won't others report it? If the report is late, the reward will be taken away by others.

When people are hungry, they can do anything, and under unbearable hunger, not to mention eating grass roots and bark, it is possible to eat and eat, rather than not having a full stomach, it is better to go to the county government to try their luck.

More than a month later, and more than 20 days before the wheat harvest, the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were ripe.

The growth cycle of wheat is at least three or four months, and the growth cycle of wheat in Jinghe County is more than eight months.

Normal corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, their growth cycle is about four months.

The corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that Chen Yu has charged with money have a growth cycle of only a short period of more than 80 days.

On this morning, more than 100 prisoners and more than 200 people were arrested and marched to the farm.

The prisoners in the county jail, not counting the three in the autumn decision, originally only 50, were arrested more than 100 because of the people's reports.

After personally demonstrating how to harvest corn and how to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes, Chen Yu waved his hand, and more than 400 people began to work.

There is a salary for the arrest and work, and the prisoners can have their sentences commuted for their work, and more than 400 people are busy in full swing.

It didn't take long for an acre of sweet potatoes and corn to be harvested.

"How much is the yield per mu?" Chen Yu asked.

"Lord Chen, 9,536 catties of sweet potatoes and 2,375 catties of corn." Marven Cai said dumbfounded, so much food is far beyond his imagination.

"Master Chen, what a great achievement...... It will definitely be famous through the ages. Zhao Yuanzhi said excitedly.

"Corn should also be removed from the cob and water, six hundred and eighteen catties of corn and four thousand six hundred and fifty-seven catties of sweet potatoes." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Ma Wencai nodded with a smile on his face.

After another ten minutes, the second acre of potatoes and corn was also taken care of by everyone.

"Lord Chen, 11,326 catties of potatoes and 2,247 catties of corn." Ma Wencai said excitedly.

"It's better to write a little less, six hundred and twenty-three pounds for corn and five thousand three hundred and eighty-two pounds for potatoes." Chen Yu said that when he planted potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes this time, he spent money to make it worthwhile.

Reduce part of the yield, and then report it, the data of several thousand catties per mu is already suspicious. Once sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are popularized in the Great Summer, their yields will definitely plummet.

The two eagle guards stood in the distance, looking at the mountains of grain with expressions of disbelief.

In order to harvest all the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn as soon as possible, Chen Yu asked Ma Wencai to hire thousands of people.

With the joint efforts of more than 8,000 people, more than 1,500 acres of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were harvested in less than three days.

"Officials Zhu Dian, send someone to send this piece to Lord Cao of the Ministry of Officials as soon as possible." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Master Chen." Zhu Zhengfei nodded in response, and ordered ten catchers to send the music to the capital as quickly as possible.

The people sent by Cao Yunsong, the secretary of the ministry, quietly left Jinghe County after getting the real data.

After the Eagle Guard found out the specific yield of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, he was in disbelief and gritted his teeth to release a carrier pigeon.

In the afternoon of the second day, the Imperial Palace Study.

"Your Majesty, the yield of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn is out." Xu Fu said.

"Don't tell me yet, I'll guess." After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he asked: "Is there a thousand catties per mu of sweet potatoes?" ”

Xu Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can guess a little more." ”

"Is there fifteen hundred pounds?" Zhou Ming asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you try to guess as much as you can." Xu Fu said.

"There won't be three thousand pounds, right?" Zhou Ming asked incredulously.

"Your Majesty, you guess less." Xu Fu said.

"Four thousand pounds?" Zhou Ming asked happily.

"Your Majesty, it's still less." Xu Fu said.

"Five thousand pounds." Zhou Ming said again.

"Still guess less." Xu Fu said.

"It won't be 10,000 catties, will it?" Zhou Ming asked casually.

"The yield per mu is less than 10,000 catties, but it is about the same, plus the yield of corn, the yield per mu is more than 11,000 catties." Xu Fu said.

"Where's the potato?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"The yield of potatoes per mu is more than 10,000 catties, plus the corn planted in the potato field, the yield per mu is more than 12,000 catties, Your Majesty, this is the message that Eagle Wei sent back with flying pigeons." After Xu Fu finished speaking, he handed over the note.

"Jinghe County's recital, have you arrived?" Zhou Ming asked impatiently.

"The chapter is still on the way, Chen Feng, the magistrate of Jinghe County, is the protégé of Lord Cao, the secretary of the ministry, according to the convention, the chapter written by Chen Feng will be sent to Lord Cao first." Xu Fu said.

"Is the yield of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes real and reliable?" Zhou Ming asked.

"The news from Eagle Guard is absolutely true and reliable, and the data on the Chen Zhixian chapter is a little intriguing." Xu Fu said with a smile.

"Does he dare to misrepresent production?" Zhou Ming said angrily.

"Your Majesty, he underreported the yield of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes by about half." Xu Fu said.

"This Chen Zhi County is so interesting, first it was a labor reform, and then a soap factory, and the money earned was divided between hands, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were sent to me every month." Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want to knock Chen Feng?" Xu Fu asked.

"It has become a common practice for the lower officials to give silver to the upper officials, as long as you don't collect the people's fat and people's ointment." Zhou Ming said.

A few days later, the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion, in the study.

"Cao Hu Cao Bao, look at this!" Cao Yunsong threw away the piece in his hand.

"My lord, we asked more than a dozen people about the yield of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and it is definitely more than that." Cao Bao said.

"Could it be Chen Feng, the magistrate of Jinghe County, who underreported by half?" Cao Yunsong muttered.

"My lord, it is said that the yield of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn varies due to different geographical environments and cultivation methods. Cao Bao reminded.

The next day, the Great Xia Palace, in the court.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." Xu Fu said loudly.

"Your Majesty, great joy, Chen Feng, the magistrate of Jinghe County......" Liu Shouyi, the prime minister of Zuo, said.

"As far as I know, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is close to 100 stones, the yield of potatoes per mu is more than 100 stones, and the yield of corn per mu is about 20 stones. Zhou Ming asked.

"What are sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield per mu is about 100 stones?"

"What is corn? Is it jade-like rice? ”

"How can there be such a high yield of grain per mu in the world?" One by one, the civilian and military generals couldn't help but whisper.

"Your Majesty, sweet potato, potato, corn planting environment, cultivation methods are different, their yields are very different, Weichen felt that Chen Zhixian was worried that no one would believe it, so he underreported the output of three kinds of grain." Cao Yunsong stood up.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, my Great Xia Empire will never be short of food again." Liu Shouyi said.
