Chapter 571: Four hundred and fifty pounds per mu! This is the official the people need

As the craftsmen finish harvesting,

The surrounding people also took the initiative to help peel the wheat into bags and weigh it.

The people are all simple, and they help one after another. You peel the wheat and I pack it. After the bags of wheat are packed, they start to weigh them immediately.

The common people and officials all looked at it eagerly, but the Hanlin scholars looked down upon it. In their eyes, growing more grain meant nothing.

Only those who can read the classics well, recite poems and compose poems are talented people who can govern the country. They can only farm. No matter how much they plant, they will be nothing more than a mud-legged person who faces the loess and his back to the sky all his life. Why should he stand up and be as talented as us in governing the country and benefiting the world?

Scholars who were officials in the same dynasty?!

Soon, one acre of wheat was bagged and counted: "Thirty catties!"

"Fifty pounds!"

"One hundred pounds!"

"One hundred and fifty pounds!"

"Two hundred pounds!"

"Two hundred and fifty pounds!"

"Three hundred pounds!"

"Three hundred and fifty pounds!"

After hearing that there were already three hundred and fifty kilograms of wheat, the people's eyes widened with excitement, and they all came forward to watch. It was already a great thing to be able to produce three hundred and fifty kilograms of wheat per acre!

But what surprised the people and ministers even more was yet to come!

"Four hundred pounds!"

"Four hundred and forty-six pounds!"

"Your Majesty, there are 446 pounds of wheat in this acre of land!"

Hearing the figure of four hundred and forty-six kilograms and looking at the bags of wheat, the surrounding people and ministers were extremely shocked!

Four hundred and forty-six kilograms, which is close to the yield of four hundred and fifty kilograms per mu of land!

An old farmer couldn't help but sigh: "The yield per mu is 446 kilograms! This Bachelor Wang is indeed a Bachelor of Agriculture awarded by the Emperor!"

Another commoner echoed: "Yes, yes, one acre of land can produce so much wheat. If my family had such fertilizer, I would have enough food on hand to pull out a few feet of cloth to make new clothes for my baby!"

A young man came forward and looked at the bags of wheat excitedly. He couldn't help but cry: "So much! So much food! If there had been such fertilizer earlier, my family would have had enough food to survive the disaster.

, my old mother won’t starve to death!”

Yes, who hasn’t encountered a disaster year?

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has encountered the Little Ice Age. Who doesn’t have a difficult time?

Listening to this young man's words, the people also sighed with emotion:

"Scholar Wang is such a talented person, he was able to develop fertilizers that increase yields so much!"

"Why do these Hanlin scholars say that Academician Wang is a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people? Academician Wang's meritorious deeds can save many people!"

"This acre of land can produce 450 kilograms of wheat. This is a miracle!"

"Xueshi Wang is such a good official!"

"Yes, Master Wang is such a good official!"

Not only the people are sighing with emotion, but officials who have served as officials and know the importance of food to the people are also amazed by Wang Lichen's achievements:

"One acre of real estate has four hundred and fifty kilograms of grain. If it were extended to the whole world, how much food could this fertilizer bring to the court? How many people would be saved from starvation in the world? This Bachelor Wang is really a man of immeasurable merit!"

"If this is extended to the whole country, then everyone in the world will be able to have enough to eat, and no victims will be displaced. The world will definitely be in great condition!"

Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei couldn't help but sigh: "This Wang Lichen has really accomplished something huge."

"If this fertilizer is spread all over the world, it will be the best thing to benefit the country and the people. This Wang Lichen deserves to be a bachelor."

Zhang Haogu said: "The emperor and I have also discussed the matter of promoting it nationwide. Although it is a bit difficult at the moment, fortunately Wang Xueshi has recorded it."

"The imperial court will next build a fertilizer factory specifically to produce this kind of fertilizer. By then, it will be promoted across the country."

Huang Liji sighed: "In the Ming Dynasty, there are many paddy fields in the south and dry land in the north. When there is a disaster, people will easily lose their harvest and become homeless. If the chemical fertilizers that can increase wheat production are really popular in the north,

That is really a great blessing for the country.”

Zhang Haogu asked with a smile: "The chemical fertilizers studied by Huang Xiang, Wei Xiang, and Wang Xianshi can not only increase the production of wheat, millet, and millet, which are suitable for dry land and irrigated land, but also increase the production! This alone can increase the production of wheat, millet, and millet.

, do you two understand the importance of Bachelor Wang?"

"These lowly craftsmen who Hanlin officials say bring disaster to the country and the people are indeed the great sages of the country who can make countless people full, increase the court's food income, and prevent anyone in the world from starving to death!"

"Such a talented person cannot deserve to be awarded a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy? Can't he deserve to wear a scarlet robe?"

"Being able to wear the scarlet robe with Academician Wang is not an honor for Academician Wang, but it is an honor for us."

Listening to Zhang Haogu's words, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei didn't speak again. The facts were right in front of them, and those bags of food spoke louder than any words.

Zhu Youxiao was still not satisfied: "We have harvested all the grain from these ten acres of land. Let's see how many kilograms there are in total!"

The surrounding people have now been mobilized. They also want to see how much food these ten acres of land can produce. With the help of the people, all the wheat in the ten acres of land has been harvested. After the wheat is peeled and weighed, an astonishing number is revealed.

It comes out:

A total of 4,513 kilograms of grain!

The average yield of grain per mu is more than 451 kilograms!

When this number came out, officials from various ministries, not to mention the common people, couldn't help but take a breath!

The average yield per mu is 450 kilograms. Could it be that Wang Lichen is a deity descended from the earth to be able to increase grain production so much?!

"Forty-five hundred kilograms of grain! Scholar Wang is truly a god!"

"Oh my God, one acre of land can really produce 450 kilograms of grain. This bachelor from the Academy of Engineering is really amazing!"

"The emperor and the bachelors have done so much for our common people. It's so lucky to be born in the Tianqi Dynasty!"

"This scholar Wang has such great achievements, how much should the emperor reward him?"

Listening to the discussion of the people, Zhu Youxiao sneered and glanced at the unconvinced old scholar, and said to Wang Tiqian who was standing aside:

"Now, I can tell everyone what happened, so that everyone can understand what happened."

Wang Tiqian immediately stepped forward and cleared his throat:

"Quiet! Quiet!"

"The emperor has called all the ministers here today not only to witness the fertilizer that can produce 450 kilograms of wheat per acre, but also to give it to Scholar Wang, to all the ministers, and to the world.

The common people and Hanlin scholars will give an account."

"Have you seen these arrested Hanlin bachelors? Because they were dissatisfied with the emperor's appointment and rewards to Wang Xueshi, they gathered a crowd to break into the Academy of Engineering and beat Xueshi Wang so seriously that he fell into a coma. He has not yet woken up!"

What?!

The man who could increase grain production was beaten by scholars from the Hanlin Academy?!
