Chapter 282: My Mother Is a Reasonable General's Wife (30)
Just when everyone was surprised by the prosperity of the Northland.
Several carriages have rushed to the capital, it is said that Changbei Bo wanted to send fresh food to Emperor Haoxuan, and specially sent the specialties of the north into the palace.
On this day's table, there are more strangely shaped foods.
Emperor Haoxuan put the food in his mouth and chewed, "The Northland has sent something again."
It's rotten and soft, and it's not unpalatable to chew in your mouth.
Quan Fu unhurriedly gave Haoxuan Emperor a cloth dish: "Chang Beibo said that this is a seed brought back from other countries, so that Your Majesty can taste it fresh."
Hearing the words "taste freshness", Emperor Haoxuan nodded: "Uncle Changbei has a heart, did the queen send it there?"
Hearing Emperor Haoxuan mention the queen mother, Quan Fu nodded hurriedly: "There are a lot of things sent by Chang Beibo, and the queen mother has already sent them, and Chang Beibo also said that His Majesty can enjoy them at will, because this thing has a high yield per mu, and one mu of land can produce more than 1,000 catties."
It seems that this thing tastes good, and His Majesty has used it a lot today.
Emperor Hao Xuan was chewing food slowly, when suddenly his movements froze, and his voice suddenly rose: "How much?"
The dynasty is rich, but this wealth does not mean that everyone can eat enough.
The best crop produced by the dynasty was rice, but the yield per mu was only three or four hundred catties.
The yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties...
Emperor Haoxuan looked at the contents of the plate with burning eyes: If it is true, then there will be no famine in the world.
Seeing that Emperor Haoxuan was really as excited as he guessed, Quan Fu's expression was still puzzled: "Chang Beibo said that the yield per mu of this thing is more than 1,000 catties, and Beidi is not worried about eating it."
Speaking of this, Quan Fu asked Emperor Haoxuan as if he was puzzled: "Your Majesty, how much is this output."
As a eunuch who has been in the palace for many years, he naturally can't be too enthusiastic about the people's livelihood outside.
Otherwise, he might really lose his heart.
Emperor Haoxuan didn't answer Quanfu's words, because he was trying to calm his heartbeat: "Did Chang Beibo say where this thing grows?"
With such a high yield, the demand for land must be also high.
Quan Fu bowed and responded, "Your Majesty, Uncle Changbei also sent someone over this time, it is said that this kind of person has been introduced for many years, and this person has always been responsible for recording it, do you want to see it."
Hearing this, Emperor Haoxuan instantly straightened up: "You are really getting more and more inappropriate, don't you come in quickly, what is his name."
While ordering his apprentice to go out and call someone, Quan Fu cautiously replied to Emperor Haoxuan's words: "Your Majesty, the surname of this person sent by Changbei Bo is Zhang, and his single name is a single name."
Although he is a farmer, he is bookish, he likes it when he sees it, Chang Beibo is really good at training people.
Well...
Except for her younger siblings!
Zhang Bo was soon brought in from outside, perhaps because someone had taught him the rules in advance, but he didn't do anything unceremonious in front of the palace.
Emperor Haoxuan didn't let him come over to salute, and after three or two sentences, he got to the point.
Because he has not saved enough tuition, Zhang Bo has been serving the vegetable field behind the academy for the past three years.
After a long time, I actually had some insights.
He was also a farmer, so he naturally saw that the land in the backyard was planted with new varieties.
When he had nothing to do, he recorded how much water, how much fat, and what effect he used every day, all as if he was practicing calligraphy.
During this period, Mr. Yu Jing also met once or twice, and when he saw that he was doing it seriously, Mr. Yu Jing not only laughed at him, but also laughed and asked him to do it well.
I thought it was just a casual encouragement, but I didn't want to be at harvest time, Chang Beibo actually brought people over to dig these things out of the soil.
It was only a vegetable field of less than eight points, but the yield was a full 1,000 catties.
Although he was just watching from the sidelines, Zhang Bo's heart was still pounding.
No one knows better than him what such a harvest means.
Later, Chang Beibo said to him the second sentence since he was beaten: "Do you remember everything?"
Unexpectedly, Chang Beibo actually noticed what he was doing, Zhang Bo couldn't find his voice, so he could only nod at Chang Beibo again and again.
Subsequently, Chang Beibo gave him a long speech.
It turned out that this kind of sub-name was potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were found by Changbei Bo from a place called America.
It turned out that the fruit of this plant was his seed, and it was very easy to grow.
As long as it is well cultivated, a seed can be cut into several parts and planted in the ground.
I really don't know why Chang Beibo, who was born as a military general, knows so much knowledge about farming.
Chang Beibo spoke quickly, and he remembered faster.
In the past, he only thought about becoming an official, but he didn't know what kind of future he wanted.
It wasn't until he saw these seeds that he realized that he was better suited to farming...
It's a sad story, but it's also true.
I thought that Chang Beibo would ridicule his incompetence, but I didn't think that Chang Beibo proposed a new concept to him: scientific farming.
I don't know what I mean, but I think it's amazing when I hear it.
Chang Beibo didn't say anything to appease him, but he had already coaxed himself clearly.
Since then, he has been in charge of these vegetable plots for three years.
After today's harvest, Chang Beibo said that the yield of seeds was too high for the academy to plant, so he asked him to send things to the capital, and by the way, he taught his farming experience to others.
He has been studying in the academy for more than three years, and he understands more or less about etiquette and human feelings.
Whoever sends this thing to the capital, the first credit will naturally be who receives it.
It turned out that my uncle had seen all these years of hard work.
The surprise came too suddenly, Zhang Bo was naturally overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Changbeibo.
Before the words of gratitude were finished, Chang Beibo left directly.
Mr. Yu Jing said that what Uncle needs is not fame or gratitude.
From beginning to end, all he wanted was for everyone in the world to be fed and clothed...
Hearing this, Zhang Bo became more and more ashamed, compared to his uncle's great love, he was really too small.
After talking about farming, Zhang Bo sent his record book and Yu Guang's letter to Emperor Haoxuan.
Emperor Haoxuan first flipped through the record book, and then opened Yu Guang's letter.
But I saw that the beginning was still a heartless greeting, and then it was the main topic: "Sweet potatoes can produce 1,300 catties per mu, and potatoes can produce 1,500 catties per mu.
The grain has been prepared, and we have half of it, but we have to find the right people to come and transport it, and the frontier can't raise soldiers, and my people have gone out to make money, and there are too few people who can use it..."
Seeing this completely unhearted letter, Emperor Haoxuan smiled dumbly, and it took a long time before he sighed: "It is the luck of the dynasty to have Changbei Bo."
When Chang Beibo said that he would divide half of the proceeds with him, he still laughed at Chang Beibo's immaturity in his heart.
Now it seems that he is more ridiculous...
