When it was close to noon, the carriage brought by Ye Yun and the housekeeper finally arrived, and Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi arrived with the housekeeper. The soldier didn't dare to delay at all after listening to Ye Yun's words, and immediately reported the matter, and the guards here didn't dare to slack off when they got the report, and immediately reported to the Tang Emperor.

When Emperor Tang heard the news, he was so happy that he even threw away the folds that he was annotating, and let the chamberlain drive without even changing his clothes. The chamberlain who often served Emperor Tang was his confidant and knew about it, so he didn't say a word and asked people to prepare, and hurried to Ye Yun's farm.

Li Zhongyi and the others rode horses in a hurry, and the speed was fast, and Ye Yun's housekeeper was in a carriage, although he set off first, but the speed was slow, so they happened to meet when they were still some distance away from the farm, and this was when the two teams of people arrived at the farm together.

Originally, although Li Zhongyi had paid enough attention to Ye Yun, he still couldn't believe what Ye Yun said about the yield of forty stones per mu, after all, this seemed to him to be a fantasy, because one stone was nearly two hundred catties, and forty stones were equivalent to four thousand catties.

Perhaps the yield of 4,000 catties per mu does not seem to be anything in modern people, because in modern times, the experimental field of potatoes has already reached the record of nearly 10,000 catties per mu, but in ancient times when production technology was backward, the average yield per mu was only one stone, that is, nearly 200 catties.

You said that you can grow grain with an average yield of only one stone per mu in Datang, I think as long as people with a little normal brain will not believe it, after all, this is a forty-fold gap, as if someone suddenly told you that he can make your salary rise from 3,000 per month to 120,000 per month, this is simply a fantasy, so as soon as the Tang Emperor heard the news that the potatoes could be harvested, he immediately rushed over.

It's no wonder he's so nervous, after all, even if the yield of this thing is discounted in half or even reduced by ten times, the yield per mu is still four stones, which is already three stones more than ordinary corn, and the extra three stones of grain don't know how many people can feed.

Everyone in the entire farm knew that Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi valued this farm, so before Tang Huang arrived, although they were also very curious about these crops, they couldn't wait to leave and ran to the field to take these things back, after all, this was something they had worked hard to take care of for about two months. But it was precisely because they understood the status of this thing in Li Zhongyi's heart that they did not dare to act rashly.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Zhongyi, who had regained his composure, came to Ye Yun's pile of potatoes, stared at the big yellow bumps, and even picked one up and stroked it carefully, and leaned his nose over to smell it, it looked like the potato was a peerless treasure.

After a long while, Li Zhongyi walked up to the soldier who followed Ye Yun before with the big potato, stared at him with a serious face, and said, "Are you sure that this pile of potatoes was all dug up by Baron Ye from this small piece of land?" The stakes are too high to be sloppy. ”

The soldier was stared at by Li Zhongyi, so frightened that he took a step back, swallowed his saliva, and said with some uncertainty: "Back to the emperor, the pawn is not sure about these... These potatoes were all dug out of the ground by Baron Ye, because Baron Ye just stomped his feet at that time, and all these things came out by themselves, so the pawn didn't know. ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed with a cold color when he heard this soldier say that he was not sure, but when he heard the latter half of the sentence, the cold color in his eyes disappeared, because Ye Yun was a cultivator after all, and he couldn't really squat in the ground and pull these big potatoes out of the soil one by one.

After listening to the soldier's words, the cold color in Li Zhongyi's eyes dissipated, and was replaced by endless joy, if all this is true, it is not impossible to produce forty stones per mu, and when he thought that this thing could really produce forty stones per mu, his body trembled with excitement, because it meant that there would be no more famine in Datang.

The accompanying officials and soldiers saw that Li Zhongyi's body trembled slightly because of excitement, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Zhongyi again, and Li Zhongyi felt the abnormality of the others, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and opened his mouth to order his soldiers to re-measure a one-acre potato field, and he wanted to see with his own eyes how much this thing produced.

Soon after Li Zhongyi's order went down, the land was measured, and he walked to the nearest place, regardless of whether the mud under his feet would stain the recent luxurious dragon robe, he squatted directly on the top of the field and grabbed one of the potato seedlings, and pulled it up with all his might. But it's a pity that although the soil is soft, the size of the potatoes is too big, and there are many potatoes attached to the potato seedlings, and he only pulls out one, but he doesn't care at all, and continues to pull up the potato seedlings one by one.

Two or three minutes later, Li Zhongyi's face became extremely ugly when he looked at the dozen potatoes in front of him, because he had already pulled potatoes that were about the same as the one Ye Yun had dug before, but the potatoes he got were less than one-fifth of Ye Yun's pile of potatoes.

The soldier who followed Ye Yun before stopped when he saw Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi's ugly face, and then looked at the pile of potatoes next to Tang Huang and Ye Yun's pile of potatoes not far away, and immediately understood something, and hurriedly ran to Li Zhongyi, handed Li Zhongyi the long knife hanging from his waist, and whispered to Li Zhongyi: "Your Majesty, Baron Ye told the pawn before that these potatoes are grown underground, and it is a little difficult to dig them all out, so you need a little tool, this is the pawn's saber, your Majesty, you will use it first." ”

When Li Zhongyi heard the soldier's words, a trace of confusion flashed on his face, and then he took the long knife in the soldier's hand with a look of ecstasy, and directly connected the scabbard to cut the soil in the field, and he only saw a yellow-orange thing appear in the soil after only two dug times.

Seeing this yellow, orange and orange thing, Li Zhongyi knelt directly on the ground, threw away the long knife in his hand, and dug out the soil covering the potato with his hand, and dug out the potato that was bigger than his fist.

After digging out the potato, Li Zhongyi dug out several potatoes one after another next to the potato, which made him stunned for a moment, because the potatoes buried in the ground were like connected together, one after another.

Looking at the pile of potatoes dug out by himself in front of him, Li Zhongyi threw himself in the pile of potatoes without any image, laughing wildly, and the others couldn't help it anymore when they saw this scene, and they threw themselves into the potato field, regardless of whether the soil in the field would stain their clothes, and struggled to dig up the potatoes.
