Chapter 148: Potatoes Are a Good Thing

"That's good stuff." Cao Ze opened the sack: "Potato seeds, high-yield crops." ”

Although the two daughters didn't know what a potato was, they clearly heard the word 'high yield'!

Even Cao Ze used the word high yield to describe it, so the output of this thing is absolutely amazing!

"This ...... How many ...... per mu production capacity? Li Xiuning asked worriedly.

This time, Cao Ze was stopped.

He was familiar with potatoes, but he really didn't seem to know the yield......

How much do you think of it?

Two thousand pounds?

Three thousand pounds?

Five thousand catties?

For a moment, Cao Ze felt as if every number was right.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen a report on the Internet about cultivating potatoes with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu......

Although the system does not say explicitly, based on past experience, the effect will definitely only be better.

For example, the previous self-heating box lunch, the taste is one or two percent better than what I have eaten.

"The yield per mu is about ......" Looking at the anxious and expectant eyes of the two women, Cao Ze hesitated: "About two thousand catties......

Eventually, he came up with this relatively conservative number.

No matter how casually you grow potatoes, there will definitely be two thousand catties.

Coupled with the bonuses produced by the system, in the end, it is only high and not low.

And the reason why he said it so conservatively was also to take care of their emotions.

After crossing over, he also learned a little, and the yield of grain per mu in the Tang Dynasty was about two stones.

The low point may be more than one stone, and the high point may not reach four or five stones.

One stone is about more than 100 catties, and two or three are about three or four hundred catties.

If there is some kind of famine year, it will not be even more difficult to think about.

In short, it's outrageously low!

Although Cao Ze felt that the yield per mu of potatoes might reach three or four thousand catties in the end, he was afraid that saying this would scare the two women out of a heart attack or something......

In addition, if the system pulls the crotch at that time, resulting in the yield per mu not reaching so much, I will be thrown home.

If it's 2,000 catties, they should be able to accept it......

However, in fact......

"Poof!"

Yu'er's feet softened and sat directly on the ground.

The whole person seemed to be stupid, and kept repeating a few words in a daze.

"Two thousand pounds...... Two thousand pounds ......"

Li Xiuning is not much better.

Her instincts swirled for a while, and her mind was completely confused......

If Cao Ze hadn't helped her quickly, she might have sat on the ground with her......

Compared with Cao Ze, she is more familiar with Datang's grain!

The two stones must be when the wind and rain are good, and it must be good.

Cao Ze suddenly threw out a production figure several times that of several times, and this impact can be imagined!

And this time it is something fundamental to people's livelihood, and the impact is far greater than any time Cao Ze gave her before!

Be more violent!

Cao Ze was also taken aback.

I hugged it all and said, do you still react like this?

It's a shame that I didn't tell the truth, otherwise you two wouldn't have died on the spot to show me?!

Li Xiuning didn't relax for a long time, just leaning on Cao Ze's arms in a daze.

Her breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

Cao Ze's brows moved.

I'm going, it's not really going to scare me out of a heart attack, is it?

At this time, the most important thing he should do is to pat his chest and beat his back to help the other party smooth out this breath.

It's just that......

Cao Ze looked at the two C-choice questions in front of him and fell into deep thought......

The right hand was slowly raised, and then slowly put down......

No way!

You can't be too beastly!

If you ruin your good image because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

Don't rush this matter, we'll talk about it later!

It took a long time for the two women to come to their senses.

"Cao Ze!" Li Xiuning grabbed Cao Ze's shoulders stiffly: "What you said, but it's all true?" This potato...... Can you really produce 2,000 catties per mu?! ”

"Hmm." Cao Ze helped Li Xiuning to stand up and nodded.

"What about this potato...... How long does it take to mature? Li Xiuning asked again.

If the growth cycle is too long, it will be in vain.

"About three months." Cao Ze replied: "It won't take more than half a year at the longest." ”

Non-specialists, can only give non-professional answers.

"And this potato is picky about arable land?" Li Xiuning asked again.

"This one is relieved." Cao Ze replied with a smile: "Don't pick the cultivated land, you can plant good and bad land, at most the yield is a little fluctuating." And if you plant it in sandy soil, the yield is better. ”

"A blessing to the people...... The blessing of the Tang Dynasty ......" After getting the answer, Li Xiuning murmured softly.

Suddenly.

Li Xiuning raised his head and looked at Cao Ze in a daze.

"You...... Was it taken by heaven to save Datang......? ”

Although Li Xiuning is a soldier, she is also a woman after all.

And women are usually a little more superstitious......

This is not a sexist statement, but a conclusion drawn from objective observation.

Don't you see those who play divination, horoscopes, or whatever, and they're basically women......

Besides.

People in this era are themselves more superstitious......

"You should be, that's it." Cao Ze gave an ambiguous answer.

"Alright, let's not be stunned here." Cao Ze patted the sack next to him: "Let's go out and plant these first." ”

When it comes back to planting, it will be clear what the yield is.

"You're going to plant this potato in the farmland outside the house?" Li Xiuning was immediately stunned.

"What, is there a problem?" Cao Ze glanced at her suspiciously.

"Of course there's a problem!" Li Xiuning was speechless and said, "How can such an important thing be planted outside casually?" What if I go back out of the spread pool? Even if you don't have that, what if the person with the wrong mind knows about it? ”

In her opinion, Cao Ze's decision was too hasty!

Such an important thing must not be planted so casually!

"If you don't say it, how will others know?" This time it was Cao Ze's turn to be speechless: "If you plant at home and send someone to take strict care of it, won't there be three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

"Of course, if you make a louder voice......" Cao Ze teased: "Maybe others will really know after a while." ”

"It's ......" Li Xiuning ignored Cao Ze's ridicule, but thought about this question seriously: "It's just ...... After all, it's still a little unsettling outside......"

"Okay, don't think about it, who will go to your field to dig and play?" Cao Ze comforted: "If you really don't feel at ease, just find some guards to take care of you secretly." ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Li Xiuning nodded, and then said, "Then this matter...... Do you want to tell Your Majesty? ”

She felt that Li Shimin would definitely be very happy when he heard the news.

After all, she is just a princess who doesn't ask about politics.

Compared with her, Li Shimin, the emperor, must care more about this.

After all, this represents the foundation of people's livelihood and the unimaginable people's heart!

"I can't do it for the time being, and I'll tell him when I'm almost ripe." Cao Ze shook his head: "After all, it is not known how much the yield per mu is, and it is too early to say it now." ”

In fact, in addition to this, Cao Ze has another layer of consideration.

Li Xiuning and the others were all excited like this, not to mention Lao Li, the emperor.

If you really scare a little bit, it's not fun......

Just go back and tell him a little bit, give him time to get used to it.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Cao Ze has a bad taste in it......
