It will take at least two or three years for the whole Dayan to realize potato freedom.

This is already the best result for ancient times.

However, this spring's cold snap froze most of the crops in the northern region, and now the entire Dayan people are still consuming last year's grain reserves, and there will be a big food shortage in the autumn.

No matter how fast potatoes become popular, this will not help.

Therefore, food reserves are the top priority for a country.

In ancient times, when productivity was low, it was enough to ensure that the majority of the people were alive, and the Son of Heaven was in power to look up to the sky and roar, and even if there was a reserve of grain in the state capitals, there was not a large amount.

"How are the beans planted in early May?"

"All of them are ripe, and the average yield of soybeans per mu in Shenjia Village is more than 100 catties."

Cheng Xi nodded silently when he heard this, this output is indeed okay.

Soybeans are originally low-yield crops, even if the yield per mu is 500 catties in modern times, it is considered a high yield, and under normal circumstances, it fluctuates around 400 catties, and only the northeast can reach 800 to 1000 catties.

"So this year, the people in the north have to live on these two hundred catties of soybeans in the field?"

“......”

Su Zhan was silent, and his face was not very good-looking.

He was also a victim of the snowstorm, and if it weren't for the huge snowstorm that lasted for four or five months, he wouldn't have been left alone with his family ruined.

He felt the suffering of the people, but he could not do anything about it.

"Don't be discouraged, I see that this saint is still a good talker, maybe he can be exempted from taxes this year?"

Although Cheng Xi's mood is also a little sluggish, she always lacks a sense of belonging and experience, after all, she has never been hungry.

"What Madame said is that people have to look forward."

Cheng Xi put the letter away, and paused when he turned around, "Do you know anything about the Wu'an Hou Mansion?" ”

"The news of the capital has been collected, and if Madame wants to know, her subordinates can look for it."

"Summarize it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Su Zhan replied very quickly, since the last time he went to the Wu'an Hou Mansion to notify someone to save his little marquis, he realized this problem, and the Shen family would be involved with several mansions in Beijing sooner or later.

In this case, it is inevitable to have more information, otherwise I don't know how to die in the future.

Just as he was collecting and summarizing the news of the major families, Cheng Xi looked at the sky and went out all the way towards the Rite Tribute Courtyard, the closer he got to the destination, the more pedestrians on the road, and even many people had already prepared the carriage and Langzhong.

"Huh...... How did I not think of that? ”

However, Shen Xingluo doesn't seem to need these two things.

Cheng Xi stood at the gate of the Gongyuan and waited quietly.

She didn't come early, and within a few minutes she heard the sound of the gong beating and the officials reporting the time, which meant that all three of the nine-day examinations were over.

The entrance of the ceremonial department began to walk out of the students one after another, and one by one they were tortured to the point that they couldn't look good, and their faces were pale and they were able to stand up, and most of them had collapsed expressions like mournful...... Ahem, that doesn't seem like the right word?

"Tsk, it's not easy to cross this single-plank bridge."

Of course, there were not a few people who were carried out, and soon the family members who gathered outside surrounded them, and they were also asking how they did when they were cold and warm.

Not long after, Cheng Xi saw a familiar figure.

Shen Xingluo was still dressed in an unremarkable cloth robe, but he was still the most brilliant one in the crowd, so much so that Cheng Xi locked on to the target with a glance.
