Liu County Ling cried with joy, with this high-yield sweet potato, if it can be successfully promoted in the north, even if the yield is only half, more than 3,000 catties per acre of land, it can feed a family.

Such a high-yield crop appeared under his rule for the first time, and Liu County ordered and was honored, willing to be a witness, and reported to the court together, and he also had to take credit.

After a while, all the potatoes in an acre of land were dug up, and there were piles of potatoes, a large number, and the number of visual measurements was not much less than the yield per mu of sweet potatoes.

Liu Xianling was excited, "This is the biggest luck in Liu's life, it is really rare to have a high-yield crop, and now there are two kinds, it is simply auspicious from the sky." Lord Gu, if you hurry up and bring these high-yield crops into Beijing, the whole court will be shocked. ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded, "When I finish measuring the yield of potatoes, I will go back to Beijing." ”

The officials below are also very excited, and it is also their honor to participate in such a grand event. Soon, the yield of potatoes per mu was as high as 5,600 catties.

Everyone was shocked and delighted to get such a result.

Lord Qin Cha Gu was also very happy, and took out two hundred taels of silver tickets on the spot and handed them to Liu Pan'er, "Liu Niangzi, this is what the official promised just now, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu will reach 5,000 catties, and those who came to help today will be rewarded with five taels of silver per person." There are less than 30 people here, and the rest will be used as today's meal. ”

Liu Pan'er didn't refuse, and took it, "The woman will thank Master Gu for the reward on behalf of the villagers!" ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu waved his hand, not wanting to continue to be polite, "Lady Liu, you briefly tell this official how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes." ”

Liu Pan'er summed it up in the simplest words, holding the sweet potato in her hand, pointing to the place where there are sprouts on the sweet potato, and said: "Master Gu, save these places with buds, build them into several pieces, and bury them directly in the soil. The forks on the seedlings of sweet potatoes can be pinched off and planted directly in the ground. Potatoes are planted in a similar way to sweet potatoes, but their forks cannot be cuttings, and the excess must be pinched off so that the fruits in the ground can grow larger. ”

Lord Qin sent Gu to write it down, and then said to Liu County: "Lord Liu, the sweet potatoes of Liu Niangzi's family and the sweet potatoes of Lijia Village, except for the seeds, the rest will be purchased by the government, properly preserved, and ready to be transported to the north as seeds." ”

Lord Liu, the county magistrate, thought for a while and asked, "Lord Gu, how much is the price of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and what is the right price?" ”

Thinking of the huge impact that these seeds would have on their spread, Lord Qin Cha Gu pondered for a moment, "Then let's pay five cents a catty, but the price of this first year will not be so expensive in the future." ”

Five yuan a catty, although it is not as expensive as tomatoes and peppers and thirty yuan a catty, but the yield per mu is very large, and there are so many purchases, the price is too expensive, the government needs to spend too much silver, and the pressure is too great.

Liu County ordered, "Yes, Master Gu, my subordinates will arrange for people to transport these sweet potatoes and potatoes into Beijing." ”

Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded and looked at Liu Pan'er, "Lady Liu, are you satisfied?" ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, her heart blooming, "Satisfied, I couldn't be more satisfied." ”

One pound and five cents, and the sweet potatoes of one acre of land are calculated according to six thousand catties, and one acre of land can be sold for thirty taels of silver. Even if it is only the first year, but with so much money from selling, every household in Lijia Village can build a big house.

Lord Qin Cha Gu actually wanted to subsidize Liu Pan'er. Not only because of the high yield of these two crops planted by Liu Paner, which is of great significance to Da Zhou, but also because the recipe for the white jade paste that Liu Paner sold to him before was privately sent by him to sell it in other major cities, and it is roughly estimated that he can earn 100,000 taels of silver.

In the future, whenever there is an opportunity, Lord Qin Cha Gu will bring Li Jiacun and Liu Niangzi.

This time to write an excerpt, Lord Qin sent Gu not only to write about Lijiacun, but also to write about Liu Niangzi, so that this kind, strong and diligent woman could get more respect and glory.

These two auspicious high-yield crops, sent to the capital, will inevitably be rewarded by His Majesty.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and it is not a matter that has not yet been decided, and it is not good for Lord Qin to say it now.

Lord Qin sent Gu away, taking with him the whole plant of six baskets of sweet potatoes and four baskets of potatoes. I wrote an excerpt overnight, and I rushed to the capital day and night.

Lord Qin Cha Gu is an official appointed by His Majesty to supervise the hundred officials in the south, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and if he says a word in front of His Majesty, he can decide the life and death of others, so the officialdom in the south heard that Lord Qin Cha Gu hurried to the capital, and they were uneasy one by one, and they sent people to inquire.

Liu Xianling personally sent someone to count the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Liu Paner's family had just dug up today, five cents per catty, two acres and six cents of sweet potatoes, a total of 17,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and 88 taels of silver.

Potatoes are two acres and one cent of land, with a total output of 12,000 catties, five cents per catty, and 60 taels of silver.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes together amounted to a hundred and forty-eight taels of silver.

Before Lord Liu left, he explained to Village Chief Li, and said in front of other people in Lijia Village: "Although the other sweet potatoes in Lijia Village have not yet finished ripening, they must be taken care of properly, after all, the emperor immediately knows that there are such high-yield crops, and if there is an accident, they will all be unlucky." ”

Village Chief Li was excited, and hurriedly responded, "Lord Liu, don't worry, I will lead the villagers to take good care of these sweet potatoes and never disappoint the expectations of Lord Liu and Lord Gu." ”

One acre of land can earn thirty taels of silver, and the ground grows not only sweet potatoes, but copper coins, silver, and gold.

Every household in Lijia Village has planted sweet potatoes, like the village chief's family, which has the most planting, with seven acres of land, which is 210 taels of silver.

Where to find such a good thing?

God willing!

No, this is all the ability of the Yuanqing family, who actually discovered sweet potatoes and planted sweet potatoes.

After Lord Liu explained carefully, he left Lijia Village.

Everyone in Lijia Village was excited, and they could sell it for a lot of money just by virtue of what was grown in the field.

Rich, rich.

Some people in the village plant two or three acres, and some plant four or five acres of sweet potatoes, and their management is not as fine as Liu Paner's family, and the yield may not be high, but the yield is also very gratifying.

Some people can't help but secretly dig up their sweet potatoes to see how they grow underneath. Seeing that large and small sweet potatoes also grow under each plant, I can rest assured.

If you want to say that the most regrettable person in this village should be the three widows.

At the beginning, she went to open up wasteland, was lazy, fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and opened half an acre of wasteland. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law opened about seven or eight points of land next to the bamboo shed to plant sweet potatoes, mainly because she wanted to eat sweet potato leaves without digging wild vegetables, but she didn't expect that there would be an accident.

Liu Paner watched many people gathered at the door of her house, talking a lot, and she was reluctant to leave.
