When Bai Song was worried about money, good news came from Pi County.

The potatoes are ripe in the first season.

Early in the morning, Uncle Qu came to Jixian County to spread the news and stopped by to see his daughter.

Potato is the first seed sown by Bai Song in Datang, after a year of exploration and cultivation by the ancients, a potato took root and sprouted in Datang, and then expanded to ten acres of fields.

And now, the harvest of ten acres of potatoes and the harvest results have made the two old farmers of the Qu family dumbfounded and unable to believe it.

Uncle Qu came today, and he only brought a car, but only a few hundred catties.

But his excitement did not stop, and when he saw Bai Song, he came up impatiently and spoke: "Virtuous nephew...... The potatoes are harvested! The potatoes were harvested. ”

"It's good to harvest it, how much is the output?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Qu swallowed his saliva and was very excited: "It's too much, what I took today is only a small part of an acre of land, if the estimate is good, the production capacity per mu is nearly two thousand catties!" ”

"Two thousand pounds?" Bai Song frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the whole number.

Bai Song knows the yield data of potatoes per mu, and most of the modern planting of potatoes can reach a yield of more than 6,000 catties per mu, and those with good planting technology can even reach a yield of 10,000 catties per mu.

The yield of potatoes planted by Uncle Qu is only 2,000 catties, and there must be some problems with the planting technology.

Bai Song was thinking in his heart, but he didn't know that this number was far beyond Uncle Qu's imagination.

Datang's grain production capacity of 300 catties per mu is a bumper harvest.

Crops with a production capacity of more than 2,000 catties per mu are simply gods.

Moreover, potatoes do not have high requirements for climate, and there are no specific requirements for solar terms, and they ripen quickly, and they can be harvested in three or four months.

Looking at the whole world, no other crop has so many innate advantages.

Not to mention the stuffiness of potatoes, and they are highly malleable, fried, fried, fried, and cooked, no matter how they are cooked, they have a unique taste. It can become a staple food for private households.

Youzhou has experienced the frontier war, and the disaster of the Holy Lotus Sect, refugees have appeared in some remote areas, and food is in short supply in various places.

Even farmers like Uncle Qu realized that with this potato, the current food problem can be solved, and the potato harvest will play a pivotal role in the world.

That's why Uncle Qu was so excited, and he couldn't wait to take Bai Song to the field to have a look, so that he could see what to do with these tens of thousands of catties of potatoes?

……

On that day, Bai Song deliberately took Qing'er out to see his private land in the fields outside Pi County.

Others didn't understand Bai Song's thoughts, especially the women in the family, who didn't know why they would bring that demon girl.

And Bai Song's mind is very simple, he just wants Qing'er to see the beautiful picture of the people plowing in the calm fields, and to see the joy of the harvest on everyone's faces, so that Qing'er knows how beautiful it is to have a stable world.

Bai Song bought a lot of land, but he never really saw it.

A carriage went out of Jixian County and walked west for less than half an hour, and a piece of yellow wheat fields came into view.

In Youzhou, this is an unprecedented wonder.

Years of Turkic turmoil have led to the abandonment of the fields in Youzhou, and in people's memory, the fields in Youzhou are only loess and weeds, and the world is desolate.

Qing'er quickly noticed all this in the car, lifted the curtain and looked at the golden sky and earth incredulously, where there were dotted old farmers farming, old dogs chasing butterflies, there was the fragrance of wheat, the golden ocean reflected the blue sky, the vast earth connected to the distant mountains, and everywhere was full of the breath of life.

"Here...... When did someone plough it? ”

"Humph!" Fuyuka, who was sitting together, snorted, "You don't know yet, do you?" My young master began to prepare for the cultivation of these fields a year ago, otherwise how could there be today's wonders? ”

"Bai Gongzi, is that you?" Qing'er was a little surprised, not only the sudden appearance of the field scene outside was surprising, but also Bai Song's actions, Qing'er really couldn't think of it, with Bai Gongzi's heart, how could he go to farming and become a landlord?

Bai Song said to the driver outside: "Stop." ”

The carriage stopped, Uncle Qu sat outside with the coachman, the coachman lifted the curtain for Bai Song, and Uncle Qu got out of the car first and went to the field to greet the old farmer.

"Hurry over, the owner came to see you today, knowing that you are all working hard, and prepared a sour plum soup for you that is only available in the county."

Landlord?

For the old farmers, this is definitely the most mysterious figure in their hearts.

It is this proprietor who proposes a novel subcontracting and cooperative business model, in which the proprietor produces seeds from the land, and the farmers only need to plough on a large scale according to the requirements, and all actions are under the command of Uncle Qu, and when the fields are harvested, each family will be divided into fifty and fifty, and distributed according to work, more work will get more, less work will get less.

At first, the people were not very interested, and whoever asked the proprietor to be generous, and until the first crop was harvested, as long as the people who participated in the work would have a basic salary and daily food.

In the beginning, most people came for free food.

But after a long time, I saw that all kinds of crops were growing, and every crop in the field was different from what they had seen on weekdays, obviously it was all wheat, but the seedlings from the owner grew better than what they had seen before, and the yield was at least quadrupled.

Especially the potatoes that have never been seen before, but they are amazing.

Yesterday, I just said that I could collect it, and I estimated that the yield per mu was 2,000 catties!

It's incredible.

The old farmers were aroused, and felt that it was very rewarding to follow the owner to farm, and they did not want to eat for free every day, but wanted to see the true face of the owner, and everyone still counted on the owner to get rich in the future.

Hearing Uncle Qu shouting, the old farmers stopped their work one after another and came to see the owner.

When he saw that the owner was a young and wealthy scholar, he was even more surprised.

When Bai Song saw the old farmers, he put down his body and thanked them for their labor and dedication, which moved the old farmers to tears.

After taking another sip of the sour plum soup that is only available in the city, the old farmers are eager to spill their blood with the owner, and the owner is too good.

Of course, Bai Song mainly accompanied Qing'er out for a walk.

When we arrived in the wheat field, the sun was scorching hot, and everyone was covered in fine sweat.

Bai Song looked at the sky and squinted at the sun: "These wheat's wheat will be ripe in another month, most of the fields in Youzhou are deserted, and now there is no Turkic as a hidden danger, and the people here have no worries, such a scene will soon spread out in Youzhou, and there will be no more hungry people by then." ”

"Childe started preparing a year ago, could it be that Childe knew a year ago that the Tang Dynasty would definitely defeat the Turks?"

Bai Song did not make a vague gesture and nodded.

Qing'er frowned and asked, "Why?" Why is Childe so determined? ”

"Society must always progress, people must look forward, be full of hope for the future, and do not live in the past."

Qing'er stopped making a sound, but guessed the intention of the son to go out with her.

Qing'er didn't like Bai Gongzi trying to change his actions, but she was very touched that Bai Gongzi was so attentive to herself.

In front, Bai Song beckoned: "Let's go, take you to see my potatoes, and the next big things you and I plan depend on it." ”
