Guo Dalu lost a lot of merit in one breath, a little tired, was sitting on the side to rest, heard Brother Hao'er's question, and said with a smile: "This potato is delicious, steamed, boiled and fried, everything can be made delicious, and even can be made into vermicelli, which can be stored for a long time, and it is the best food for our people." ”

Brother Hao was overjoyed: "Brother Guo, what are you waiting for? I'll let the villagers plant potatoes together." ”

Guo Dalu couldn't cry or laugh: "Wait, don't you take a look, there are only these two loads of potatoes in total, which is not enough for our whole village to grow." Wait until I get some more potatoes and more seeds. ”

Guo Dalu pointed to Brother Hao'er, cut the potatoes into small pieces, and buried them back in the ground again, this time, the potatoes filled the entire yard of the Guo family.

Guo Dalu acted according to the law, and once again used the power of merit to help the potatoes, and after half a day, the tired potatoes even swelled the soil in the yard.

Brother Hao was stunned: "Potatoes actually have such a high yield! Grandpa, in the future, farmers in the world will no longer need to starve!"

Guo Dalu wiped the sweat on his head: "I used magic to grow these potatoes, so the yield is particularly high, if the farmers grow it themselves, the yield will be reduced a lot." However, no matter how much you reduce it, the yield of this potato is very high, and those millet and sorghum can't be compared with it at all. ”

Brother Hao swallowed his saliva: "Brother Guo, this potato, in an ordinary year, how many catties of production capacity per mu is there? 300 or 400?"

In Houlong Village, the best craftsmen of the village, planting millet or sorghum, one mu is one or two hundred catties of output, that has to rely on the wind and rain, there is no seven disasters and eight difficulties, Hao Geer estimates that there are three or four hundred catties of potatoes, and the yield is already high.

Who knows, Guo Dalu laughed: "Three or four hundred catties? Even if there is no fertilizer, potatoes can be harvested more than 1,000 catties in the most barren mountainous areas!"

Guo Dalu's words are not bragging, in modern agriculture, the yield of potatoes per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms, and there can be more than 4,000 kilograms.

Brother Hao was so shocked that he couldn't even close his chin, Grandpa Tian, 1,000 catties per acre of land?!

He looked at Guo Dalu with admiration, this magical crop called potatoes came out of Brother Guo's hands again, as soon as this thing came out, there were countless living people, and Brother Guo's merits were immeasurable!

Guo Dalu looked at the potatoes in the small yard, but shook his head, and said to himself: "Not enough, still not enough!"

He said to Brother Hao: "Go, call the stupid big man, Wang Manyuan, Wang Deen, and they all here, dig out these potatoes, and let's find a more empty place and continue to plant potatoes." ”

Soon, everyone rushed to the small courtyard of Guo's house, and even the big girl and Chen Qingdai also came, Chen Qingdai had eaten the leftovers thrown away by Guo Dalu, and there were potatoes in them, so she recognized them at a glance, nodded and said: "Potatoes, this is a good thing, big girl, come on, I'll make you a baked potato to eat." ”

Guo Dalu couldn't cry or laugh, Chen Qingdai, you are a dragon anyway, why did you become a foodie?

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Chen Qingdai, these potatoes are all used to make seeds, if you eat one with your mouth, it means that the next round of harvest will be much less!"

The eldest girl also hurriedly stopped Chen Qingdai: "Sister Chen, let's still do business, this potato, planted in the field, will not run away with long legs, when it grows more, let's eat it again." ”

Potatoes do not pick the ground, no matter how barren the land can be planted, Guo Dalu took everyone to jump a piece of land with a relatively flat slope in the back mountain, and these potatoes were one by one, and he summoned Bai Yun Xiaobai, using the power of merit, a burst of artificial light rain fell on the potato field, and then, once again, the pale golden particles of the whole body were encouraged to promote the growth of potatoes.

When the potatoes were produced this time, the entire Houlong Village was in a sensation, and more than 10,000 catties of potatoes were actually harvested in the two-and-a-half-acre mountainous land! When Brother Hao and the others looked at the potatoes piled up like a hill, they could no longer calm their excitement, ran to the village, and brought in the old village chief Zhu.

The old village chief Zhu personally dug out a fist-sized potato from the soil, with tears in his eyes, knelt down with a plop, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Auspicious rain from the sky! Auspicious rain from the sky! With this divine object, the people of the world no longer have to go hungry! No longer have to sell their sons and daughters for the sake of having enough to eat!"

Brother Hao said: "Old village chief, this artifact is called a potato, which was discovered and cultivated by Brother Guo. ”

Old Village Chief Zhu staggered to Guo Dalu, nodded again and again, and said: "Brother Guo, on behalf of the people of the world, thank you for your great kindness!"

Chen Qingdai rushed over, hugged Guo Dalu's body, touched his pulse, and frowned: "This stupid person, he cast too much magic and consumed too much merit power, so he fainted." Quick, send him back to the house and get some rest. ”

Guo Dalu just cast too much spell and lost too much merit power in a short period of time, so he passed out unconscious, and there was no big problem, and at night, he woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he asked, "How are the potatoes in the field?"

Old Village Chief Zhu and the others were standing next to him, and when they saw that he was about to get up again, they hurriedly pressed him: "Brother Guo, you can rest well, we have put away the potatoes in the field, and found a clean room as a warehouse, and store it well, and it will definitely not be bitten by rats and insects." I have already sent someone to inform the Huangxian Lord, this potato god was born, but it is a great event, and I must report it to the imperial court. ”

Guo Dalu leaned on the pillow and frowned and thought for a while: "Does Old Village Chief Zhu want to promote potatoes through the imperial court?"

The old village chief Zhu said with a smile: "That's natural, the yield of this potato is so high, the farmers all over the world are naturally rushing to plant, and it doesn't take much effort from the imperial court to promote it, which is even better than the drip irrigation method." ”

Guo Dalu smiled bitterly, the drip irrigation method is a good thing, but the peasants have suffered greatly because of the implementation of the drip irrigation method, in the final analysis, it is the means of production that are controlled by the cultivators and the big landlords, and the peasants at the bottom have no power to resist except for accepting oppression and exploitation.

This potato is also a good thing, but now the output is too small, Guo Dalu is worried that the 10,000 catties of potato seeds in Houlong Village will not reach the hands of ordinary farmers, but will be occupied by those cultivators such as Yu Dazhong, who are lackeys in the mortal world, or wealthy nobles.

Guo Dalu told the old village chief Zhu about his worries, and the old village chief thought about it carefully, sure enough, the tens of thousands of catties of potatoes produced in Houlong Village seem to be a lot, but if they are sprinkled into the land of the whole world, there are not many of them. Those cultivators, sects, or wealthy nobles will inevitably occupy these good potato varieties and give priority to their own estates for planting, and they don't know when and what month they will have to wait for ordinary farmers to grow potatoes in their homes.

This crop is no different from other crops, only one season can be planted once a year, and after harvesting, it can be replanted the following year, and after this round of crops, it will take three or four years for ordinary farmers to plant potatoes, but those landless peasants, can they wait for three or four years? After three or four years, I don't know how many peasant households will die and fall hungry next to the barren fields!

Old Village Chief Zhu scratched his head: "In this way, do you want the villagers of our Houlong Village to go door to door to deliver potato seeds--" He said half of his words, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, there are only hundreds of people in our Houlong Village, and it is simply a matter of no score to spread this potato seed all over the country." This is different from the drip irrigation method, the drip irrigation method is the official master of the prefecture came forward, recruited the good hands of the towns and towns to plant kudzu, first by our Houlong village villagers taught the drip irrigation method, and then promoted to the villages one by one. ”

Li Hua also shook his head next to him: "It's not just that the manpower is not enough, let's go out to deliver this potato, then we have to be believed." If it is only in the Yinxian area, our Houlong Village has a somewhat reputation, and the farmers will try to plant the potatoes we send even if they are a little skeptical. But if you go to the field - hey, who has ever heard of thousands of catties of crops on an acre of land, you have to treat our villagers as liars, throw potatoes is a small matter, do not do it well, and beat the people of our Houlong Village, arrest and go to the official, this is thrown into the prison, then it can be called every day should not be called the earth is not working. ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the house: "Mr. Li's words are old-fashioned, Brother Guo, this potato is a good thing, but if you want to teach it to the world, you have to think carefully of a good way." The person who came was Huang Xueheng.

Huang Xueheng was dressed in an official uniform, but there was a lot of mud on his boots, and his robe was dirty, and when he looked closely, he was holding a bunch of muddy potatoes that had not yet been washed tightly with his hands, obviously, he had just come from the potato field, and even went down to the field himself and dug some potatoes.

Huang Xueheng put down the potatoes in his arms and shook his head again and again: "Brother Guo, you are really a person with great blessings, how did you find this potato from Fengshen Mountain? This thing is manifested, God really bless me and the people of the Great Li Dynasty! This is a great auspicious rui!"

Huang Xueheng thought that this potato was found by Guo Dalu from Fengshen Mountain, a while ago, he once mobilized the villagers to Fengshen Mountain to find herbs and ores, and the iron ore and coal mine he found smelted refined steel, and Tian Qi and other medicinal materials were also transplanted into the field, saying that he wanted to do something to artificially grow herbs, and this potato must have been discovered by mistake from Fengshen Mountain.

Guo Dalu didn't explain, it can't be said that it was handed over from the 21st century, God knows if there is America in the time and space where the Great Li Dynasty is located, and whether there is a potato crop in the Americas.

Guo Dalu sighed: "Lord Huang County, Master Huang, you want to shoot the emperor's old official's sycophant, what auspicious rui, you can go, it's just that you wait a little longer, and wait for me to give this potato seed to those farmers who have lost their land, although I can't promote potatoes to the world, but it is good to help one more landless farmer."
