One acre of land can produce more than 1,000 catties of grain, saving enough food to feed several people! With such good food, will anyone go hungry in the future?
"God, it's the first time I've seen such a high-yield crop, Amitabha, we're blessed. I'm not afraid of going hungry in the future, if I had this kind of good thing before, my mother wouldn't have starved to death. One woman couldn't help but start crying.
Ten years ago, there was a great drought in Lancheng, when many people couldn't eat, and finally starved to death, and she just watched his mother starve to death.
When she said this, many people remembered the misery they experienced at home. At the beginning, I don't know how many people died around Lancheng, and there were always starvation deaths in these people's homes or relatives and friends, so every family had a sad heart.
Although there is a lot of land around Lancheng, it does not grow much crops. After a year of hard work, after paying taxes, my family didn't even have enough food for a hungry stomach. In a year of great drought, some people are unable to eat their stomachs, and they do not even let go of the bark and grass roots in the field, but they still cannot guarantee their survival.
Moreover, the great drought ten years ago lasted from spring to summer, and the summer grain harvest was basically lost, and the autumn grain was basically lost.
In addition, the prefect of Lancheng actually opened the official warehouse, and the grain in the official warehouse was actually robbed or flowed into the market, so there was no large-scale starvation.
Jiang Weilan just watched these people suddenly start crying, she looked at Congshan and Conglin and the others blankly, and wanted to ask them what happened.
However, these people were all brought back from the capital, so how do you know what happened at this time.
In the end, Mr. Li came over and said: "Miss doesn't know, there was a large-scale drought in Lancheng ten years ago, and the prefect of Lancheng at that time not only did not open a warehouse for disaster relief, but concealed the disaster and reported the harvest year to the imperial court. ”
Mr. Li briefly told the events of the year, and Jiang Weilan understood a little.
"Speaking of which, this time the Lancheng prefect escaped, it can be regarded as a good thing, it is better than continuing to endanger the township." Jiang Weilan was moved.
If Zhou Rujing, the prefect of Lancheng, hadn't escaped in time, but had been suppressed, many people might have died.
"Miss, you see, they must be thinking at this time, if there was such a high yield of food, so many people would definitely not starve to death." Mr. Li said with a sigh.
Their family still has some family background, and no one in the family died at the beginning, and they were all preserved. However, Mr. Wang's wife left Mr. Wang at that time, and after that, Mr. Wang's children starved to death at home, which led to the tragedy of Mr. Wang's life.
"After the potatoes are popularized in the northwest, this kind of thing will not happen, Mr. Li, you see, this year's disaster year, the weather is dry, but the yield of potatoes is also very good, if you plant it in other dry land, as long as a little rain, you can grow, even if you don't have such a good yield, but it is much better than other crops." Jiang Weilan said meaningfully as he looked at the potatoes all over the ground.
When Mr. Li heard this, he looked at Jiang Weilan with some joy, and for a while, he was a little speechless, what did Miss mean by this? Does it mean that these potatoes can be promoted in the Northwest instead of being smuggled?
Is Miss such a big-hearted person? It is really commendable that a woman can be like this.
At that moment, Mr. Li, who was speechless, bowed deeply to Jiang Weilan.
"What is this doing, sir?" Jiang Weilan was busy avoiding Mr. Li's gift.
Mr. Li stubbornly bowed to Jiang Weilan again and said, "Miss, this is the people of Lan City and even the people of the Northwest to bow to you, you must accept it." If it is someone else, with such a good thing, where is it willing to give it to others? ”
Jiang Weilan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it was she who said that she wanted to promote potatoes in the northwest that made Mr. Li feel this way, and she said with a smile: "This thing is only starting to develop now, and the people in our Zhuangzi know that the yield is high, but others may not know, and I am not good at promoting it for others, so it will take a while to make the people of Lancheng realize the benefits of potatoes, so this potato will probably not be able to be promoted in other places next year." ”
Jiang Weilan is telling the truth, Mr. Li is not a fool, of course he understands that if a new crop can be promoted, people must always see the benefits, and if they can't see the benefits, even if it is a lotus flower, others may not be able to accept it.
That's it, there is no need to be too anxious about this, the northwest has been dry for thousands of years, and it is not bad for these two years.
And Jiang Weilan has already begun to think about how to promote potatoes as quickly as possible, regarding potatoes, she doesn't want to continue to rely on the Chen family, after all, if Chen Yannan is too involved in herself, she herself will actually have no freedom.
Jiang Weilan understands very well that Chen Yannan is taking the road of business, so that he will have room for development, otherwise, with the status of the Chen family in Lancheng and even the northwest, he will not even have room for development.
In order to take better care of the potatoes, Jiang Weilan had already prepared several cellars for storing potatoes, and under the leadership of Conglin and others, the potatoes were soon all loaded into the cellar.
After the warehousing of the warehousing, everyone in the Zhuangzi got two catties of potatoes, although two catties of potatoes are only a little bit, but a family of four or five or even six or seven people, it is a lot.
Jiang Weilan said that this is for them to try the fresh, and there is no need to save for next year's planting.
The people on the Zhuangzi have only heard of the name of potatoes, but they have not seen potatoes, according to the method that Jiang Weilan said, after steaming and eating, they are full of praise for a while, and they almost praise potatoes to a rare status in the world.
Even, after tasting the taste of potatoes, several families were sure that the potatoes could be eaten as rice, so they were even more reluctant to eat them, and decided to save these potatoes and plant them in their yards next year.
Zhuangzi set off a spicy storm because of potatoes, and no one was unhappy, but Jiang Weilan knew that if the yield of this crop was so high, there would definitely be shortcomings, but it had not been discovered for the time being. I just hope that this crop has fewer side effects.
