Except for Li Qinzai and Li Zhi, most of the people present are still very unfamiliar with sweet potatoes.

I had heard before that the grandson of the Ying Gong had gotten a few new grain seeds out of nowhere, and the yield per mu was unbelievable, and the Son of Heaven valued it very much, and sent thousands of guards to guard it day and night.

After the courtiers heard about it, they only echoed it, since the Son of Heaven said that the yield per mu was unacceptable, it must be unacceptable, but in everyone's hearts, they actually disagreed.

The courtiers knew better than anyone what the yield of several kinds of grain in this world would be, and even if they got a new grain seed, no matter how amazing its yield per mu was, it would not be able to escape the laws of nature after all.

It is acceptable to say that its yield per mu is one or two hundred catties higher than that of ordinary wheat, rice, and millet rice, but it is a bit of a stretch to say that its yield per mu is several times higher than that of the current grain, or even ten times higher.

It is impossible for the gods to pee and fertilize to grow this effect, this is completely beyond the laws of nature, everyone is a rational person, how can they accept such a nonsense statement?

Install the latest version. 】

The ceremony in front of him was very grand, obviously just harvesting a few sweet potatoes and digging the ground with a hoe, but Li Zhi had to call the monk to chant the scriptures, and he also had to dance the gods.

This is also in line with Li Zhi's character, don't look at Li Zhi is in his thirties, but his character is still in the second grade.

If you don't agree with each other, you will change the year name, and the name of the year will be more embarrassing than the other, and the official office of the court will often change its name, and you don't need to use the good Yushitai, you have to call it Dongtai, Xitai, and it looks like Mommy taking Miss to the box.

For the sake of the sweet potatoes that are very important in front of us, there is a sickle opening ceremony before the official harvest, which is indeed mixed with some political factors.

For example, in addition to the relationship between sweet potatoes and today's son, Li Qinzai feels that there is another reason that the soul of middle two in Li Zhi's heart has begun to burn again.

It doesn't matter, you're the emperor, you have the final say, just be happy.

Li Qinzai knelt in front of the sweet potato with the monarch indifferently, and he had a lot of complaints in his heart.

The sweet potato was discovered by him and planted in his family's field, but in the end, he was asked to kneel down for the sweet potato, what is the difference between this and Lao Tzu's kneeling son?

After the harvest later, you must secretly embezzle two of them, and quietly roast them at night.

The monarch and the minister prayed for a long time, and the dancing god may be tired, so after finishing the work, the god knelt in front of the sweet potato with a solemn expression, and did not know what to pinch in his hand.

After a long time, the god stick nodded to Li Zhi with a profound face: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come." ”

Li Zhi was happy and nervous, glanced at Li Qinzai, and said, "This thing was discovered by Jing Chu, why don't you do it yourself with me and see how its harvest is?" ”

Of course, Li Qinzai has no objection, it is good to do it himself, and he has the opportunity to steal two of them and eat them.

Unceremoniously took a hoe, Li Qinzai shaved a few times on the edge of the sweet potato leaves, and the power of the hoe was full, Li Zhi was terrified next to him, and kept saying: "Slow down, be careful...... Don't hurt the roots. ”

Li Qinzai agreed, but he was still not polite.

The hoe dug a deep pit next to the sweet potato leaves, Li Qinzai threw the hoe, gouged a few times with his bare hands, and then reached out and pulled hard, and a bunch of black, black, red and red fruits were dragged out of the ground by him.

Everyone present was stunned, and after seeing the large string of unknown fruits in Li Qinzai's hand, and after roughly estimating the weight, everyone was taken aback, and the expression of contempt just now had become solemn at this moment.

Shangguan Yi, who was kneeling in the crowd, stood up in disbelief and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this thing ...... It's really, really ......"

Li Tao was also in the crowd, but his expression was extremely determined, but his hand trembled slightly, and his seemingly cloudy old eyes flashed with excitement.

Empress Wu stood behind Li Zhi, looking at the fruit in Li Qinzai's hand, she couldn't help but straighten up, her hands grabbed the corners of her clothes, and her expression tried to maintain her composure.

Li Zhi was too lazy to maintain any imperial demeanor at the moment, and he was so excited that he stammered: "This, this...... Is it a sweet potato? I remember that when I planted it in the spring, there were only a few seeds, and now I have harvested so much? ”

Li Qinzai didn't answer, but leaned down and groped for something in the ground, and then reached deep into the soil with both hands, and pulled out a large bunch of sweet potato fruits.

The crowd gasped and erupted in screams.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and there are ......" Li Qinjae was the only one present who was not surprised.

He knows better than anyone else the true yield of sweet potatoes, this thing was a great high-yield grain in his previous life, to what extent is the high yield? In many rural areas, one or two acres must be planted every year, and the income from one mu can basically ensure that a large family does not go hungry all year round.

Of course, no matter how high the yield of this thing is, it is a miscellaneous grain after all, not a staple food, and cannot be eaten as a meal, but once it encounters a disaster year, sweet potatoes are life-saving food.

At the beginning of spring, Li Qinzai remembered that he had planted several seedlings and leaves, but he had only dragged them twice just now, and there were still a lot of them in the ground.

However, it was these two large bunches of sweet potato fruits that had already made everyone present crazy.

"Your Majesty, do you try it yourself? Let's taste the joy of harvest. Li Qinzai winked at Li Zhi and smiled.

Li Zhi took a few deep breaths excitedly, then stepped forward, regardless of whether he would stain the yellow robe, followed Li Qinzai's example and put his hands into the soil, followed the rhizome of the sweet potato leaves on the ground, and then dig, pulled, and made a loud noise, and Li Zhi also had a large bunch of fruits in his hand.

The fruit varies in size, from the large one as a fist to the small one as a peach and plum, and its dark red skin is covered with dirt, revealing a delightful vitality.

At this time, even Li Tao was a little unsettled, and subconsciously took two steps forward, and the ministers did not care about the loss of etiquette at this time, and stepped forward to surround Li Qinzai and Li Zhi, and approached to observe the sweet potatoes in their hands.

Shangguan Yi stretched out his hand to weigh the weight of one of the sweet potatoes, and said excitedly: "This weight is overwhelming, I'm afraid the yield per mu is not ......."

Li Tao also stretched out his hand and checked it, and said in a deep voice: "It's a good thing, I'm afraid that the yield of five thousand catties per mu is too little, if you take care of it carefully, it will not be a problem to produce six or seven thousand catties per mu." ”

Although they are all civil and military generals, the Tang Dynasty is based on farming, from the emperor to the courtiers, and they all have some understanding of agriculture.

Just weighed the weight of a sweet potato, and the two guessed its yield per mu.

Li Zhi raised the string of sweet potatoes in his hand, and said with a smug smile: "Thanks to Li Jingchu's discernment and discovery, this new grain is discovered, if this thing is popularized in the world, it will definitely benefit all the people. ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The minister does not dare to take credit, it is His Majesty who supports the minister, from planting to serving, it is all arranged by His Majesty with foresight, so that there is today's joy, the minister is just to help His Majesty run errands, and His Majesty is a living Bodhisattva who has the grace of life for all people." ”
