After eating early, hundreds of officials arrived at the Yuanjiang Restaurant where Xiao Linglong and others stayed one after another, but some people's popularity was obviously not very good.

It was the ministers who drank the toilet water.

"Your Majesty, the sweet potato experimental field is outside the city, there is a distance, the minister has ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and Your Majesty will get on the carriage first."

Xiao Linglong nodded, and couldn't hold back her excitement and confirmed with Zhao Kang again: "National teacher, the sweet potato yield you said is really that big?" ”

Zhao Kang nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister will never lie to you, not to mention that I have gambled with others." ”

Zhao Kang glanced at Lin Lang, the Honglu Temple Qing with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes, and whispered.

Xiao Linglong frowned, and also said in a low voice: "The Lin family is not small in the imperial capital clan, you can control it yourself." ”

Zhao Kang was moved in his heart, Your Majesty will finally think about me, it is really a great thing.

The empress got into the carriage, and the hundred officials began to set off for the sweet potato experimental field.

Zhang Long arranged it early in the morning, and more than a dozen crop experts in charge of sweet potato planting were ready to fight.

Coming to the periphery of the field, Xiao Linglong got out of the carriage and muttered a little in her heart as she looked at the large green leaves in front of her.

Remember https://m in a second.

The hundred officials behind him were also a little disappointed, just a leaf, this sweet potato is a wild vegetable?

No matter how much wild vegetables you have, you can't use them as a staple food.

Lin Lang sneered even more: "Master Guoshi, this is the sweet potato you are talking about, why are they all vegetable leaves?" ”

Before Zhao Kang could reply, Xiao Linglong said lightly: "National teacher, is it possible that this sweet potato grows underground?" ”

Lin Lang was suddenly a little stunned, and he didn't dare to do anything more, and Zhao Kang immediately patted his ass: "Your Majesty, Shengming, this sweet potato grows underground." ”

"Same as peanuts?" Xiao Xuance was a little curious, and he was always interested in new things, no matter what they were.

Zhao Kang said: "That's a lot more than peanuts." ”

Xiao Linglong couldn't help it: "Then order someone to harvest." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty will sit down for a while, and the minister will begin."

Asked someone to bring a chair for Xiao Linglong and his sister and brother to sit down, Zhao Kang walked to the front and beckoned, Lin Lang was a little nervous at the moment, after all, if the yield per mu exceeded 600 catties, he would have to take off his official uniform and hand over all his assets to the treasury.

"Zhang Long, clear the fields and start harvesting."

Zhao Kang said, Zhang Long nodded hurriedly and said loudly: "Start harvesting sweet potatoes!" ”

The farmers at the edge of the surrounding fields immediately picked up their hoes and sickles and walked into the fields that had already been measured.

The first sweet potato is plucked out and packed in a dustpan.

Zhao Kang took a look, it was not bad, it was estimated to be about four taels, but it was still a lot smaller than the big sweet potato baked in the oil barrel in his previous life.

This is also understandable.

After all, those sweet potato varieties have been improved countless times.

The first box of sweet potatoes was sent to be weighed, Xiao Linglong couldn't sit still, and quickly got up and asked, "How many catties?" ”

The eunuch on the side immediately reported: "Back to Your Majesty, thirty-seven catties!" ”

Unable to stabilize her emotions, Her Majesty the Empress simply walked to the scale, picked up a sweet potato, and studied it carefully, and the officials also gathered around to look at the strange-shaped sweet potatoes, all of them staring at them with curiosity.

"This is a sweet potato?"

"How do you eat this?"

"Nonsense, it must be peeled and eaten, I just don't know how it tastes."

Immediately after that, the second box of sweet potatoes was sent to be weighed, and the eunuch reported the number.

"Twenty-six pounds!"

Her Majesty the Empress listened to the subconscious clenching of her fists, it was already sixty catties, this has collected a little land, and it seems that it is not a fantasy to break through the yield of six hundred catties per mu according to this momentum.

Lin Lang couldn't sit still and squeezed in front of the hundred officials, his eyes were staring at the rod scale, and he kept muttering in his heart, don't break six hundred! Don't break six hundred!

With the passage of time, everyone's emotions were unconsciously ignited by numbers.

"Seventy-two pounds!"

"Fifty-four pounds!"

"Thirty-three pounds!"

The hand of the official who recorded the weight couldn't help but tremble, this is almost more than 400 catties, and only a small half of one acre of land has been harvested!

Looking at the fields where most of the wealth was still there, the old lady was excited: "God bless me and God bless me with a lot of work!" ”

Li Yuan, the secretary of the military department, was also excited, and kept calculating the numbers in his heart.

Nearly an hour and another basket of sweet potatoes were delivered.

The eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Fifty-five catties! ”

With a click, the official in charge of recording suddenly put down the brush and shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

Everyone looked over, and Lin Lang, the secretary of Honglu Temple, who was sweating profusely, rushed to the front and asked in a hoarse voice: "How much?" ”

"It's already six hundred and twenty-one pounds, breaking six hundred!"

Finished!

Lin Lang only felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he glanced at Zhao Kang, his eyes rolled and fell straight forward.

The farmer who came to deliver the sweet potatoes muttered: "This good official, I fainted with joy." ”

"Someone, take him off for me, and pick off his official uniform."

Zhao Kang sneered, Zhang Long immediately beckoned people to do things, if there were maybe people to intercede for Lin Lang, especially his colleagues and officials.

But at this moment, no one cared about Lin Lang, and their nerves were all affected by the sweet potatoes that had not yet been confiscated.

Xiao Linglong clenched her fists tightly, her delicate forehead even oozing sweat, and she shouted: "Hurry, hurry, send more people!" ”

Her Majesty the Empress is already a little crazy, and she can't wait to know how much sweet potato yield per mu can reach, and how many sweet potatoes can be grown and how many people can be fed!

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kang was happy in his heart, and hurriedly urged Zhang Long to send someone to harvest.

Finally, after another thirty minutes or so, all the sweet potatoes in one acre of land were pulled out, weighed and stacked neatly like a hill.

"How many!" Xiao Linglong looked at the official who was recording.

The ministers of the six departments, such as the Taigong and the Taifu, also looked at the recorder with anticipation.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, the officials who recorded revealed that exciting number.

"This acre of land, the yield of sweet potatoes is 967 catties, almost breaking 1,000!"

Lose your marbles!

For a moment, the officials present were like crazy.

"O emperors of the past, have you manifested your spirits!" The old lady knelt down excitedly and looked at the sky and cried bitterly, although she didn't deal with Zhao Kang, she still cared about the country.

"It's a miracle! This must be the auspicious gift that God has given me a great job! ”

"The yield per mu is nearly 1,000! No one will starve to death in the future! ”

Li Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, looked at Zhao Kang: "National Teacher, you have made a monstrous achievement!" ”

"Lord Li has won the award, all because of His Majesty's sage, how dare I take credit?"

As a qualified licking dog, Zhao Kang gave all the credit to Xiao Linglong on the side.

Her Majesty the Empress was squatting on the ground very rudely at the moment, holding the two largest sweet potatoes and laughing so happily, she turned around and said excitedly: "Zhao Kang, hurry!" Hurry up and order someone to harvest all the sweet potatoes, I want to know how much grain can be produced in this land, hurry! ”
