Qin Feng couldn't help but said in surprise: "As expected of my second brother, I can make such a big fuss even when I go to Qi State's cocktail party."
For Qin Yu, the younger brother.
Even Qin Feng, the eldest brother, couldn't help but marvel.
The generals around him were also talking about it.
"Hahaha... It's so happy, so happy! It's such a blessing for the common people and us stinky Qiuba that the Wei Dynasty has such a prince-in-law!"
"The only one who can think of us is the Prince Consort~ Two thousand sets of rattan armor, what a feat this is!"
"Qi State, Yan State, and the Southern Barbarians have all begged our Prince Consort. This is really the pride of Wei!"
...
All the generals praised Qin Yu unabashedly.
Qin Feng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qin Yu asked you for a military salary and gave you two thousand pairs of rattan armor, and you praised him to the sky? Then all your efforts for so many years have been in vain.
?”
"Although this rattan armor was sent by Qin Yu, it is also His Majesty's will. You must keep His Majesty in mind!"
Qin Feng is very discerning.
This is an army, and it is a border guarding army. If the soldiers all think about Qin Yu's good deeds and not the good things of the imperial court and His Majesty, that is definitely not a good thing.
If someone with ulterior motives adds fuel to the fire, something might happen!
Listen to Qin Feng's words.
The soldiers bowed hurriedly and said, "Yes, General."
Qin Feng nodded slightly, "Qin Liang, put away all the vine armor. In a few days, we will draw elites from each regiment to form a vine armor city guard."
"Yes, General." Qin Liang bowed and responded.
Qin Yu is promising, and Qin Feng, the eldest brother, is naturally very happy.
Afterwards, he returned to the front hall.
The establishment of a Tengjia City Guard at Guyang Pass will be a great help in defending the city in the future.
...
Jinling City.
East Palace, greenhouse.
Several months passed, and the sweet potatoes planted by Qin Yu were finally harvested.
In order to witness this shocking moment of harvesting two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu.
Emperor Wei brought Qin Wenyao, Zhang Zian, Chen Zhen and Tao Xing and other officials from the three provinces to watch in person.
If Qin Yu succeeds, what they will witness will be a historic moment that will go down in history.
Qin Yu stood in front of a sweet potato seedling in the greenhouse, which was full of green.
He was about to pick up the hoe and dig.
Emperor Wei hurriedly grabbed him, a little nervous, "Hey! How can you use a hoe for such precious food? If you chop off one, it will be a loss that I, the Wei Dynasty, cannot make up for!"
"
Qin Yu: "..."
It's worth it for sweet potatoes to receive such treatment.
However, for today's Dawei agriculture, sweet potatoes with a yield of two thousand kilograms per mu are indeed considered a sacred object.
Qin Yu looked at Emperor Wei and asked, "How to dig?"
Emperor Wei stretched out his hands and said seriously: "Of course I used both hands to pull and dig!"
He said, waving his hand, "dig out the sweet potatoes for me!"
A group of young eunuchs rushed to the sweet potato seedlings, knelt on the ground and carefully dug them up.
It was as if they were digging for fragile and rare treasures.
Qin Yu naturally understood Emperor Wei's exaggeration. After all, the yield of two thousand kilograms of grain per mu was very exaggerated for them.
Several little eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, carefully digging sweet potatoes.
Qin Yu, Emperor Wei and others were watching from the sidelines.
Not long after.
A few young eunuchs dug out a dozen sweet potatoes, weighing about seven or eight pounds.
They dug very carefully, and the sweet potato stubs, sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings were all connected together and placed on the table.
Wei Huang, Qin Wenyao and others hurriedly gathered around, looking at Hongshu with bright eyes.
Shen Binglan and Xiao Nan looked on, their eyes filled with wonder.
They had brought the sweet potato here with Qin Yu, and at that time there was only one sweet potato.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, one sweet potato would grow to seven or eight pounds.
Both of them felt incredible.
Emperor Wei looked excited and said hurriedly: "Quickly, quickly weigh how many kilograms of these sweet potatoes there are."
Qin Yu frowned slightly, "Pull out the beard seeds and sweet potato seedlings. Those things are useless."
Afterwards, several young eunuchs began to work in a hurry.
Emperor Wei looked at Qin Yu, his brows were filled with joy, and he smiled broadly, and asked: "Husband-in-law, these... so many sweet potatoes, did you really grow them from just one sweet potato?"
Qin Yu nodded casually, "Of course, can I still use this to deceive Your Majesty? This is grown from a sweet potato."
The words just fell.
Fu'an, the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, looked at Emperor Wei and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes weigh eight kilograms and are very tall."
Qin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fu An must have been selling vegetables on the street before entering the palace, and he was still tall.
Emperor Wei smiled when he heard this, his big mouth almost reached the back of his ears, "It's good to be high, it's good to be high..."
Xiao Nan looked at the sweet potatoes and reached out to touch them, "Is this delicious?"
The words have not yet fallen.
Snap.
Emperor Wei's hand slapped Xiao Nan's hand heavily, and he shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Is this something you can touch? How does it taste? I will roast you later to taste it!!
!”
Xiao Nan: "..."
He didn't expect that Emperor Wei's reaction would be so great that his hands were red.
"Son... I just want to see..."
Xiao Nan stretched out his hand and muttered timidly.
Emperor Wei glared at him, then looked at Pre-Qin Wenyao, "Wen Yao, please calculate how many pounds of sweet potatoes can be produced from one acre of land."
The words just fell.
Xiao Nan pondered and said: "If we look at the area occupied by this sweet potato seedling, one acre of land can grow about 310 sweet potato seedlings. One plant can produce eight kilograms of sweet potatoes. Three hundred and ten plants can produce two thousand and fourteen pounds of sweet potatoes."
It’s about one hundred and eighty kilograms, so the yield per mu of sweet potatoes must be more than two thousand kilograms.”
Xiao Nan said casually, having already figured it out.
Listen to him.
Everyone who was still counting on their fingers looked confused.
this......
Is it that exaggerated?
They had just calculated that one sweet potato plant could produce eight pounds of sweet potatoes, and Xiao Nan had already calculated everything accurately.
Not to mention Emperor Wei, Qin Wenyao and others.
Even Qin Yu looked surprised.
"Yes, Your Highness, your brain is faster than an abacus!"
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Nan and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"ah?"
Xiao Nan was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Is... is it that exaggerated..."
Seeing Xiao Nan calculating so quickly, Emperor Wei's calm face turned into a smile. He pointed at him and shook his head and said: "Your kid is really smart. Before we even had time to calculate, you turned out to be the mother-in-law."
The output is calculated."
Everyone admired Xiao Nan's calculation ability. This was really not just a boast.
