In October, the weather turns cool.
The whole city of Chang'an was boiling. Suddenly, a news came out from the streets that his Highness the king of Qin was sheltered by God and was given a divine plant. After cultivation, it has been planted on a large scale and is about to be harvested. The production capacity per mu reaches 5000-6000 kg.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately ignited public opinion.
It's impossible to produce 5000 or 6000 Jin per mu.
From the time of three emperors and five emperors to today's Great Han Dynasty, we have never seen any supernatural things that can produce five or six thousand jin per mu. If there were such a species, it would not starve so many people.
The neighbors are talking about it.
All the facial expressions have expectations, but most of them are skeptical.
A lot of people don't believe it.
It's incredible.
There is also a considerable part of the people, firmly stand on the side of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu recognition. The reason is very simple. Since the rise of Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu has never lied or deceived the people.
Every word Zhang Xiu said is true. Zhang Xiu's promise has been realized one by one. In particular, the interest of Daqin bank was fully realized, and many people benefited.
Bank interest, though not much. But for many rich people, it's the happiest thing to lie down and earn money. So many people trust Zhang Xiu.
On this day, the city suddenly had yamen spread news.
Three days later, the government will harvest mature deities in the official fields of Shanglin garden.
The government allowed the people to watch.
Near Shanglinyuan, there are not only horse farms, but also official fields. The common people in Chang'an are familiar with the local conditions, so when the news spread, countless people were excited and wanted to have a look.
In the whole territory of Daqin, people today are not short of food and clothing. But no one will think that eating more food is the best, especially if there is such a yield of sweet potato, which is also good news for countless people.
Three days is fleeting.
In these three days, the news has been completely detonated, and countless people are excited. In the early morning, people had already come to the planting site of sweet potato in Shanglin garden. Unfortunately, there are soldiers on guard outside the area and no one is allowed to enter.
Only the front piece of land is surrounded by the people.
This is still guarded by soldiers.
Surrounded by a sea of people, there are curious expressions in their eyes, and they are all talking about each other.
"Here comes the king of Qin!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came out.
With this sound, around the periphery of the circle of the people, Zhang Xiu led the six ministers of the court, as well as Sima Yi, Zhang Song and others around him, had come to the scene.
Along the way, one by one people get out of the way.
Soon, Zhang Xiu arrived.
He looked at the vines that had begun to wither. He didn't immediately order the harvest. He turned around and looked at all the people around him. He raised his hand and pressed down, indicating that all the people would be quiet.
After a while, everything around was quiet, and no one spoke.
Everyone's eyes fall on Zhang Xiu.
Zhang xiulang said: "I believe the villagers already know about what we are going to do today because we have publicized it in advance. The grain to be harvested today is called sweet potato. The yield of this product is high and it can fill the stomach. Although it is not a delicious food, it is the food that can fill the stomach and ensure not to be hungry. Especially for the elderly, it's the most delicious food. "
When people around heard this, they began to talk about it.
Sweet potato!
The God is called sweet potato.
Now they finally know their names. They just think about them one by one. They think about the names handed down from generation to generation. They have never heard of sweet potatoes. They don't know that there are such species.
This is a rarity.
Zhang Xiu waited for a while. When all the people stopped talking, she said, "harvest!"
At the first order, the farmers who had already been ready began to harvest quickly. The harvest of sweet potatoes is divided into different tasks. Some people are specially responsible for harvesting vines, while others are specially responsible for digging sweet potatoes. When the first sweet potato is dug out, there are six sweet potatoes. Although each sweet potato is only a little more than three jin, it is better to be even, and each sweet potato is even.
With the beginning of excavation, Zhang Xiu had people boil water at the same time and directly boil sweet potatoes with water.
Zhang Xiu selected 20 sweet potatoes to peel and cut into pieces and put them into the water.
Farming is still going on, and as time goes by, after the water boils, the heat continues to invade, and the faint fragrance of sweet potato begins to diffuse in the air. At this time, the people began to talk about it, because after each sweet potato plant was dug out, there were at least three or four sweet potatoes in each plant.
The output is huge.
Later, some farmers wiped off the soil on the sweet potatoes and put them into baskets one by one. Baskets of sweet potatoes were carried out and put on the roadside, forming a huge shock.Countless people, shocked.
Countless people are talking about it.
If you don't see it, you don't believe it, but now you see it, it's a real shock. At the same time, the sweet potatoes in the big pot gradually become soft and ripe, no longer hard.
Zhang Xiu personally tasted a piece of sweet potato and saw that it was thoroughly cooked. She selected 50 people to try it. Everyone tries a piece of sweet potato. When the sweet potato is eaten in the mouth, the soft, waxy and sweet taste diffuses, as if eating delicacies.
This is the experience of eating sweet potato for the first time.
It's the first time, after all.
After eating, the common people are full of praise. These people looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground, their eyes were shining, and their faces were full of praise.
Delicious!
It's delicious!
Zhang Xiu lets the people who try to eat back, and after these people return, they begin to share their feelings after eating. With the rapid spread of news, countless people are eager to see it.
Harvest people, because there are many.
A mu of sweet potato land, soon all dug up, all sweet potatoes in the basket neatly placed. When Zhang Xiu ordered weighing, he began to weigh the yield of this mu.
With the shouts of 100 Jin, 120 Jin, 130 Jin and so on, by the end of the day, all the sweet potatoes in one mu had been counted.
Five thousand eight hundred jin sweet potato.
An acre of land, output 5800 Jin, such output on who's body, it is extremely shocking.
It's shocking.
Especially in this era, there has never been such a huge amount of grain production,
the people were completely shocked.
Zhang Xiu did not immediately come to a conclusion and asked the farmer in charge of digging sweet potatoes to continue digging sweet potatoes in the next mu. With the passage of time, when the sweet potato of each mu is dug out, the yield of sweet potato of each mu is quite huge. There is no sweet potato field with a yield of less than 5500 Jin.
The highest yield of sweet potato per mu is 6500 Jin.
This kind of production is terrible. Even one mu of sweet potato production, can have 1000 Jin, that is extremely shocking, but these reached more than 6000 Jin, can imagine the surprise of the people.
Countless people marveled.
Long live the king of Qin
In the crowd, suddenly there were people shouting.
Long live the king of Qin
Long live the king of Qin
……
One by one, the people cried out, because they thought of the previous rumors. Many people didn't believe that sweet potato was a gift from heaven, but now they can't help believing it. Besides the gift of heaven, what else can produce so much?
It must be a gift.
Just so, countless people are shouting, and they are more devout to Zhang Xiu. High voice one after another, I saw the surrounding dense, countless people are kneeling down, shouting long live the king of Qin.
Zhang Xiu saw this scene in her eyes, and a smile passed in her eyes.
This is the power of sweet potatoes.
Because no one has ever seen it, because it has never been cultivated, especially in a country dominated by farming, the emergence of sweet potato is very powerful and can cause a huge shock.
It's no surprise that Jia Xu, Li Ru and other six ministers, as well as the rest of the people, watched this scene, because they had been able to predict such a scene since they knew the yield of sweet potato.
A good harvest of sweet potatoes is a great joy.
Fortunately for Daqin!
The world is very lucky!
