Chapter 175 Harvest Sweet Potatoes

Chapter 175 Harvesting Sweet Potatoes

But at this moment and at that moment, Qin Yang rubbed his chin and said, "You're right, we can't give up on the waterway of the Grand Canal."

However, the matter of the Grand Canal has to be discussed in the long run.

Can't wait for the sweet potato harvest.

Come May, the weather turns warmer.

On this day, a large group of people surrounded the sweet potato field.

All these people came to watch the harvest of sweet potatoes in Guantian.

After all, there were not many sweet potatoes divided at that time, and most of them were grown in official farms.

Unlike potatoes, almost every household in the county has them.

Sweet potatoes are planted earlier than potatoes, so they are also harvested earlier.

Early in the morning, Qin Yang took Houhou and a few guards to the outside of the sweet potato field together with Zhang Yunji and nephew Zhang Yunji.

A large pergola was built on the side where it did not block the road.

Qin Yang and the others were sitting in the shed, drinking tea and eating fruits, waiting for the people to gather together, so they could harvest the sweet potatoes with all their might.

Zhang Ruolin had only seen reports of sweet potatoes from Datang Weekly, but had never seen sweet potatoes with his own eyes.

At this time, seeing a large area of ​​land, all green and oily, his face showed eagerness to try.

"My lord, can I go and harvest the sweet potatoes?"

Zhang Yunji glanced at him and said, "Go."

After receiving the order, Zhang Ruolin immediately walked over.

Qin Yang on the side was eating iced grapes, each one was expensive, after all, they were shipped directly from the south.

The travel expenses alone are astronomical figures for ordinary people.

He earns so much money, besides throwing it out for construction without hesitation, he also treats himself well.

Hou Hou held the grapes, peeled them slowly, and fed them to him one by one.

Qin Yang ate happily, but kept his eyes on the sweet potato.

"Your Majesty, it's okay now, there are thousands of people here."

Looking into the distance, there is a crowd of people.

These are the nearby people who came here after hearing the news, and some came here specially from the county town.

After all, in the past few days, the government has been promoting that sweet potatoes can produce more than a thousand catties per mu!
Who wouldn’t be shocked to hear this?

Who listens and doesn't want to see it?
Although the journey was far away, many people were not so reckless, so they rushed over.

Among the crowd, there were a few people dressed in ordinary clothes, but their complexions were a little different from ordinary people, more ruddy.

One of them had a short beard, frowned and looked out into the field, then lowered his voice and said to the people beside him, "Tell me, this sweet potato is really so powerful?"

"It should be true. The Patriarch went to Chang'an before, and Chang'an already had this thing at that time. If it is fake, the family will definitely take action."

But up to now, the Patriarch's side is extremely quiet.

It can be seen that this sweet potato is indeed a good thing that can produce more than a thousand catties per mu!
Since the matter is true, then this matter is really a bit troublesome.

Seeing the king of Youzhou gaining more and more stability in Youzhou, the Cui family had nothing to do!
"When will people come from the capital?"

"Didn't you say that you have encouraged people to file a complaint?"

"Who knows! Just wait! Anyway, the Patriarch has an order, let us not move around for a while, so as not to be caught by this kid!"

When they said these words, their voices were extremely low.

Just because these few people were all sent by the Cui family, and Youzhou is no longer the Cui family's monopoly, so they can only learn to be cautious in their words and deeds.

"It's started! It's started!"

Just as he was talking, someone suddenly exclaimed.

This voice came from the front row of the crowd!
These people were startled and quickly looked up.

I saw the people in the sweet potato field, following the order of King Youzhou, they all started to get busy.

In fact, when they saw that the land was green and lush, many people guessed that the so-called sweet potatoes must be underground!

Sure enough, someone dug out the sweet potatoes, and sure enough, when they were pulled, they became a bunch.

There are so many!
Looking at the people next to the road, the sweet potatoes that were pulled out were beeping, a bunch of them, at least dozens of them!

Even if some of them are small, that is to say, they have big fists, but the sum of these numbers is really bluffing!
The onlookers who were shouting all of a sudden held their breath and did not dare to speak out!

"This is really shocking!"

"So many, all of them? This, this, this..."

Some were too shocked to even speak in full.

The few people who were muttering in the crowd just now also looked at Tanaka, dumbfounded.

If sweet potatoes are so powerful!

All that they thought before was in vain!
With sweet potatoes as a fetish, how could Youzhou be short of food?
Youzhou has no shortage of food, no shortage of gold and silver, how will the Cui family check and balance the King of Youzhou?
If they can't check and balance the king of Youzhou, won't their Cui family have to stay in Youzhou forever?
Thinking of this possibility, these people all felt a pang of breath in their chests.

I can hardly breathe!

And the cheers that sounded around them added to their depression.

It simply made them not want to stay any longer.

But the task assigned to them by the head of the family, they can only obey!
This is so fucked up!

These people cursed dirty words in their hearts.

The others are already going crazy!
If it weren't for the soldiers blocking the front of the crowd, these onlookers would have been so excited that they would have squeezed in!

Get to see for yourself how those sweet potatoes are dug up!

You can see for yourself what those sweet potatoes look like!

If it is really possible to achieve a yield of more than [-] jin per mu, can they grow it?
If ordinary people like them can grow it, they will no longer worry about food problems in the future!

Thinking of this, the people were very excited.

However, there are others who are calmer.

They were afraid that the sweet potato just dug up was just an exception. If there were not so many other sweet potatoes, wouldn't they be happy for nothing?
Therefore, in this situation, they all tried their best to restrain themselves and continued to look around on tiptoe.

"Ah! Your Majesty has an order! The sweet potatoes that have been dug up are all piled up on the side of the road! They will be weighed in public later!"

Suddenly someone heard this order from King Youzhou.

The people, who were already very excited, became more and more crazy.

"Weighing! It must be over a thousand catties!"

"No, I can't stop watching! There are so many sweet potatoes, maybe they can reach [-] catties!"

drink!
Fifteen hundred catties!

This number, the common people dare not even think about it.

But as more and more sweet potatoes were dug out, they were piled up on the side of the road, ranging from small piles to large piles to hills.

Everyone stared dumbfounded.

Could it be that he could really get [-] catties?
More and more people think so!

In the pergola, Zhang Yunji was a little restless.

The more he looked, the more he scratched his head and wanted to know the yield per mu and the total yield of sweet potatoes.

Seeing King An sitting at the side, he was both admiring and puzzled.

"My lord! Are you really not curious? This time the production capacity per mu can't reach [-] jin? If it can reach [-] jin, I'm afraid the whole Youzhou will be a sensation!"

Qin Yang, however, looked at the hot scene with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "When I was in Chang'an, I had already seen a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes. I experienced it once, so naturally I wouldn't worry too much."

"But it's different!"
