Chapter 121 You’re so good, but you’re so damn fast, aren’t you?!

Regarding potatoes, in modern times on earth, the yield of potatoes per acre is basically between 3,000 kilograms and 5,000 kilograms per mu, which is the normal range.

For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, one acre of potatoes could only produce 800 kilograms.

This is not possible except for the various technologies such as agriculture here.

It’s the variety of potatoes.

For example, on earth, basically, as long as you cover the ground with film, the yield of potatoes will basically be 5,000 kilograms per mu.

And in some special places, where the land is fertile, the yield per mu can be as high as eight thousand kilograms.

There are even some places where the yield of potatoes per acre is 10,000 kilograms!

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the various breeding techniques in "Shen Nong" and wanted to cultivate them.

This potato is definitely a good thing.

From now on, not only can it be planted in normal seasons, but it can also be planted in greenhouses in winter.

As long as the potato production increases.

The great Zhou Dynasty will definitely prosper in those good days!!

Once the food supply increases, the labor force will also increase!

And, most importantly, this matter is not just about potatoes.

Now the Zhou Dynasty was in urgent need of a crop with huge yields.

These potatoes are not just for people to eat.

This does not mean that once potatoes are planted, every household will be able to eat them.

The important thing is that potatoes can be exchanged for more other things.

For example, raising pigs!

Why is pork so expensive now? Why is it as difficult for the people of the Zhou Dynasty to eat pork as if they wanted to go to heaven?

One reason is that the Zhou Dynasty has just recovered a few years after the war.

But the problem is that it wasn't much better before.

That's why.

It’s not because pigs are difficult to raise!

This pig is not a chicken. You can raise it with rotten skins of melons and fruits. Even if you just leave it alone and throw it into the mountains, the chicken will not starve to death.

But the same cannot be said for pigs.

Although this pig can eat swill, it must be fed something serious so that it can grow meat and fat!

How about the current conditions of the Zhou Dynasty?

Stop talking about pigs.

Just look at Qingqiu Village now. There are more than 500 households in this village, but the village chief only has a dog.

It's hard to find even a dog in this village.

Then why?

Why else? These rural people sometimes can't even afford corn noodles now, and when times get tough, or they encounter some natural disasters.

Don’t talk about what dogs eat, people have to eat dogs.

If this dog is like this, how should we feed the pigs?

But once crops with huge yields like potatoes are produced, can pigs be fed?

If this person can eat pork, does that make him more energetic?

When people don't stare at the empty food jar at home and worry about it every day, but can eat and drink enough, can they do more other things?

When young people don’t worry about the high housing prices every day, but have the energy and dreams to do other things, won’t the country have more hope?

Same reason.

As long as potato production can increase dramatically, it will not only bring about the problem of people being fed, but also the problem of people being able to eat meat.

That brings a lot of benefits!

If Lu Yuan could cultivate potatoes with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu, it would not be an exaggeration for the Zhou Dynasty to build a temple for Lu Yuan.

This poor person wants to be rich, and this rich person wants to be famous.

As for famous people, they want to leave their name in history.

This is true for everyone.

Of course, this is a far stretch, and considering the conditions of the Zhou Dynasty, it would be really difficult to achieve a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu.

The level of agriculture is really low.

Just say that Lu Yuan went directly to modern times to get a well-cultivated potato that could produce a yield of ten thousand catties per mu. Even in the Zhou Dynasty, it was impossible to grow a potato with a yield of ten thousand catties per mu.

There is no reason why. The problem is that the level of agriculture cannot keep up.

The fertilizers of the Zhou Dynasty all depended on the excrement in the village toilets. How could they produce tens of thousands of pounds per mu?

But...

It is difficult to produce 10,000 kilograms per mu, but...

I want one with a yield of 3,000 jins or 5,000 jins per acre.

It's still possible if you work hard.

If the yield per acre is 3,000 jins or 5,000 jins, then a temple must be built for Lu Yuan!!

The current potato yield of the Zhou Dynasty is only 800 jins per mu, and the total yield of potatoes is 5,000 jins per mu. How many times has this increased!

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Mainly it takes time.

This thing doesn't mean that Lu Yuan stayed up all night and worked overtime to draw pictures of things like a threshing machine and a bicycle in one night.

Lu Yuan wants to cross and breed in various ways.

No matter how smart you are about these things, you have to wait for the potatoes to take root and sprout, right?

When the time comes, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the experimental field and wait.

However, no matter what, let’s start from the beginning.

It just so happens that I can't do anything recently.

If my wife becomes pregnant in the future, she will still be unable to do anything.

You have to find something to do.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan would be so greedy to death just looking at the alluring Su Liyan every day?

At this time, after chatting for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly coughed.

Su Liyan, who was chatting happily with Zuo Wanling, was startled. The next second, she immediately stood up and looked at Zuo Wanling and said:

"Wan Ling, let's go back first. My man is probably going to freeze."

As Su Liyan said this, she came to Lu Yuan's side.

Zuo Wanling was startled, but nodded with some regret.

All the young women of her generation in this village have married off, and Zuo Wanling is the only one who still stays in Qingqiu Village.

All my old friends are gone. It’s rare to meet a good friend from before. I want to chat more, that’s for sure.

However, it's not bad. Everyone will be back tomorrow on the second day of the new year.

Lu Yuan also stood up, and then said directly:

"Um...Wan Ling, right...the potatoes you have are really delicious. Do you have any more at home? I'll buy some for you."

Zuo Wanling was startled, then smiled and waved her hands:

"Oh, how much do a few potatoes cost? I'll get them for you right now."

Everyone in this room also smiled and said they didn’t want any money.

This thing is worthless.

Although he said he didn't need any money, Lu Yuan still left five yuan.

When the time comes to produce five thousand kilograms of potatoes per acre, she must have a quarter of Zuo Wanling's credit for it?

It’s a good sign. Why is it said to be a good sign? Because...

Finally, Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, Su Liyan held her man's arm with one hand, and carried a net of big potatoes with the other hand, and came out of Zuo Wanling's house.

After being outside for more than an hour, it was really cold.
