The sweet potato test field cultivated in Yuanjiang County is outside the city. Gao Quan took Zhao Kang there and said, "Only after our people arrived at the wasteland mentioned by the businessman, we discovered that the sweet potatoes there grew a large area. According to your instructions, the roots and stems were
I brought all the vine leaves back."
"A few old farmers planted it, and it grows very quickly. According to their estimation, it will mature in three to four months, and the yield is huge. It's just a little less sweet, but it's indeed edible."
Zhao Kang listened carefully and nodded: "As long as it is edible, this thing is full of treasures. It can be steamed, fried, or roasted. I will write down some plans later and you can try it to see if you can get out the starch."
some type of."
When I came to the field, I looked past a green leaf, full of vitality, just like the sweet potato vine leaves I saw in my previous life.
There were also many people checking the growth of sweet potatoes, and all greeted Zhao Kang warmly when they saw him.
Zhao Kang pulled out one and looked at it. It was about three ounces in size. It was slightly smaller than what he had seen in his previous life. However, it was not yet time to harvest, so that was understandable.
The roasted sweet potatoes in the previous life could last for most of the day in two servings!
The farmer responsible for planting sweet potatoes came forward and saluted Zhao Kang respectfully, and then smiled and said: "Master, the harvest will be ready in half a month. This thing is really scary."
Zhao Kang heard this and asked: "What do you estimate the yield per mu can be?"
The old farmer held out four fingers: "At least four hundred kilograms upwards. With this thing, there is no doubt that people in the world will not starve to death."
"At least four hundred? Not bad."
After all, there are no chemical fertilizers in this world. Zhao Kang laughed: "This is nothing. Once potatoes and corn are found, it will be possible for everyone in the world to have food to eat. Gao Quan, the farmer responsible for planting sweet potatoes, everyone appreciates it."
Two taels of silver."
People around him screamed when they heard it.
"My master is so wise!"
"It's better for us, master!"
Zhao Kang was in a good mood: "Listen, as long as you can continue to increase the yield in the future, if it is more than one hundred catties per mu, I will reward you ten taels of silver. Just put it here, these are old crops of many years.
You're a bastard, you won't let me down, will you?"
"Hey, we're just afraid that your wallet isn't big enough, sir!"
"That's right, we have been crawling around in the fields all our lives, and this little thing can hardly defeat us? Everyone, don't you think so?"
"That's right! I can't default on my debt later! We're all listening!"
Zhao Kang laughed: "I have prepared the money for you bastards. If you have the ability, come and get it!"
After inspecting the sweet potato fields.
Zhao Kang and the two returned to the county government office and declined the banquet invited by the enthusiastic county residents. After Gao Quan sent everyone away, he looked around, closed the door and leaned over to whisper.
"Master, Zhang Long and Brother Mazi Diao left with gunpowder and other things according to your instructions. Who are we going to kill this time?"
Zhao Kang lowered his eyes and said, "Did you bring those crazy dogs with you too?"
At that time, there were 800 wild dogs in Yuanjiang territory, but only about 130 people survived. Everyone had the blood of more than a dozen bandits on their hands. These people were usually Zhang Long's servants.
When Zhao Kang entered the city today, he found that none of the familiar faces were there.
Gao Quan nodded: "They're all gone. We've also studied the gunpowder thoroughly, but why is it outside the border this time?"
Zhao Kang sneered, Gao Quan was also one of the wild dogs back then, a real confidant: "If we want to get the prince this time, we have to be outside the border."
Even if Gao Quan is so bold, I can’t help but be amazed, how dare he is!
Although he was shocked, he was not afraid at all. Instead, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Okay, that's it. Just let me take care of Yuanjiang, sir. Don't worry about other things. You don't know yet. Sir, I am now the national master, one person is worth less than ten thousand people."
"In the future, I will be bolder and develop all industries. However, every merchant who comes to our Yuanjiang is still the same as before. Be sure to record clearly and send someone to check."
Gao Quan was extremely surprised: "Sir, have you become a national master?"
"You think, now that we have different statuses, we have enough confidence, and our backs are straightened out, so if we want to fuck him, we can fuck him vigorously."
Zhao Kang remembered something and asked, "How are those two women doing recently?"
He was talking about Mei Ruolan and Liu Xiangyin who were sent by him some time ago. That day Qin Yufeng personally said that the three of them were actually Prince Ning's people.
But Qin Yufeng blocked the sword for herself with her life, and Zhao Kang did not intend to pursue anything.
Gao Quan said: "They are both quite honest and don't do anything extraordinary. One is teaching piano in school and the other is teaching. Master, you didn't know that when you came that day, you looked straight at all the men in the county and clamored to propose marriage."
"
"Fortunately, after I heard that it was the master's person, no one dared to harass me anymore."
Zhao Kang: "It's better to keep a closer eye."
Gao Quan nodded: "Understood."
Perhaps it was because Cao Cao had arrived. Someone knocked on the door and the officer's voice came.
"Master, Master Gao, Miss Liu and Miss Mei would like to see you."
Gao Quan looked at Zhao Kang, saw him nodding, and went to open the door: "Miss Liu, Miss Mei, please come in."
The two beauties brought in the fragrance, making people feel like they could breathe a little easier.
Zhao Kang said deliberately: "You are well-informed. Sir, you guys are here before my butt is even hot."
Mei Ruolan snickered: "The formation to welcome the young master is so big, we sisters can't even think about it, right Sister Liu."
"Isn't it?"
The two women came up to Zhao Kang and asked them to sit down. Gao Quan stepped back wisely.
Zhao Kang looked at the two women with a smile: "How are you? Are you happy staying in Yuanjiang County?"
Mei Ruolan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "This place is so wonderful. When you sent us here, Master, Ruolan thought we were going to be sold into the mountains. It's like a paradise."
"That's right, don't look at who was an official here before." Zhao Kang said proudly.
Liu Xiangyin squeaked: "What a pity, we are still not as good as Yufeng. Even if we redeem ourselves, we still have to remain widows."
Zhao Kang was embarrassed for a while and quickly changed the subject and talked to them about Zhang Sheng becoming the principal of the school in the future. The two women were shocked. They didn't know what was happening in the outside world in Yuanjiang County.
"Mr. Zhang will be your boss from now on. Ruolan doesn't like poetry? You can ask the old man for advice. And Xiangyin, I heard that Mr. Zhang's piano skills are unparalleled in the world."
As Zhao Kang said that, he found that the two women looked at him strangely, and they were a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Liu Xiangyin was overjoyed and a little unsure as she said: "Mr. Zhang and Young Master, you will be the principal when you come to Yuanjiang County."
Mei Ruolan was full of curiosity: "Does that mean, Master, you have defeated Mr. Zhang in literary combat?"
"You've all discovered this." Zhao Kang chuckled.
One of the two girls couldn't believe it. Zhang Sheng actually lost to Zhao Kang! That's the best scholar in the world!
In an instant, both women realized one thing. The entire imperial capital knew about this Wen Dou, but Zhao Kang had defeated Zhang Sheng in full view of everyone, such a shocking move.
How high is Zhao Kang's status in the Qian Kingdom today?
