Empress Hanbao, Empress Nuwa's Intestine, and more than ten empresses all descended from the sky. For a moment, the rays of light shone brightly, and all the ministers of the Xi Kingdom came to greet them one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, there is a sweet potato field in front of you!"
Everyone was quite familiar with each other and didn't pay too much attention to it. After a casual chat, Yao Yun led the eleven ladies to the sweet potato field for trial planting.
All the ladies came here just for the sweet potatoes, so naturally they all happily agreed and followed Yao Yun's guidance all the way to the sweet potato fields.
The ten Nuwa Empresses came here to taste a delicacy. Although they were looking forward to this meeting, they were not nervous and felt very relaxed.
However, Lady Hanba is quite nervous. Sweet potatoes are too important to her. If sweet potatoes can be as high-yielding as Yao Yun said, they can also be used as a staple food...
After thinking about it, Empress Hanba became a little uneasy, pointed to the green sweet potato vines on the sand in front of her, and asked: "Yao Yun, my dear, are these sweet potatoes? Why are they different from the ones I saw?"
"Yes, these are sweet potatoes. Last year, the Ministry of Agriculture of Xiguo and Tianwen College developed the technology to grow sweet potatoes on a large scale. The improved sweet potatoes grow more lushly and are gratifying. At first glance, they look a little different, but in fact they are
Same thing, at most the sweet potatoes we grow now are bigger and more delicious!”
Yao Yun smiled. What the female emperor saw before were wild sweet potatoes. At most, a few plants grew together. They were really incomparable to the ones in front of her that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Hanbao Empress nodded slightly, her face was full of joy, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps. Although the sweet potatoes had not been dug out from the ground yet, she already had a premonition that today's harvest would definitely be big.
Seeing this, Yao Yun smiled slightly and casually ordered: "Come here, bring a hoe."
Soon, the soldiers came over with hoes on their shoulders. Yao Yun smiled and said to the Nvba Empress and Nuwa Zhichang Empress on the side: "You empresses are so powerful that you can dig sweet potatoes with your hands. However, sweet potatoes are the livelihood of all people."
For the sake of planning, the common people use hoes to dig sweet potatoes and use their hands to peel sweet potatoes. If you ladies are interested, you might as well experience the suffering of the people."
"good!"
Although the female emperor was very anxious and wanted to dig out the sweet potatoes as soon as possible to see what was going on, she still readily agreed after hearing Yao Yun's words. After all, the reason why she went through so much trouble to find the sweet potatoes was so that all the people in the world could experience it.
The common people are suffering, and this is also a very meaningful thing.
After saying that, the female emperor took a new hoe from the soldier's hand, stepped into the red sand with a pair of spotless shoes, and started digging sweet potatoes with the hoe like a farm girl in the field.
The ten Nuwa Empresses are big foodies, and as long as they have something to eat, they will do anything, so they started to learn how to do it.
All of a sudden, the eleven empresses and dozens of people from the Xi Kingdom ran into the fields to dig sweet potatoes, and the scene suddenly became lively.
"Yao Yun, boy, it's so big. The sweet potatoes in this field are bigger than those I brought back from the wilderness overseas. Our country of Xi is so powerful. Everything becomes better when it comes here."
"Hahaha, the Ministry of Agriculture of Youxi State and the disciples of Tianwen College have carefully planted the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes will definitely grow better than the wild ones!"
"Xihou, how many sweet potatoes are there in one plant? Why can't I dig them all? There are so many of them, one or four big ones, two small ones..."
"Sweet potatoes are very high-yielding. You ladies, please dig carefully. There will be many surprises."
"You don't mean anything. I dug out more than a dozen big sweet potatoes at once. These sweet potatoes are so high-yielding. I'm afraid this sweet potato weighs more than ten kilograms!"
"Ms. Wachang, you dug up all my sweet potato vines, so I just dug one..."
"Oh~ Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm digging so smoothly, I can't stop..."
...
At first, Yao Yun still answered everyone's questions, but gradually the scene became too chaotic, and Yao Yun stopped talking and allowed everyone to experience farm life.
Even Young Master Heng, who is less than two years old, digs up sweet potatoes like an adult. It must be said that Yao Heng is extremely talented. Although he is very young, he is very strong and can wield it gracefully.
Holding a small hoe, every time he digs a big sweet potato, he always cheers and shouts "Father King" and "Mother Queen" to offer treasures. The atmosphere on the field is extremely harmonious and warm.
Soon, the eleven empresses and the kings and ministers of the Xi Kingdom each had a pile of sweet potatoes in their hands, ranging from six to seven kilograms in weight to two or three kilograms in light. The yield was generally not low.
"Your Majesty, this sweet potato plant in Benlong's hands has produced three kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is only average. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much sweet potatoes can this acre of sandy land produce..."
After the bald dragon finished speaking, the smiles on everyone's faces became even stronger, and they all looked at Yao Yun, attracting everyone's attention.
Many people had doubts about the high yield of sweet potatoes before, but looking at the piles of sweet potatoes in the hands of everyone on the field, no one had any doubts anymore.
Autumn can be known by peeking at a leaf. A sweet potato vine can dig out several kilograms of sweet potatoes. How many kilograms of sweet potatoes can be dug out? How many sweet potatoes can be dug out from an acre of sweet potato land?
It’s simply unimaginable!
Yao Yun smiled softly: "If you want to know, just dig an acre of sweet potatoes and you will know!"
In fact, Jiang He and Jiang Miao had predicted the yield of sweet potatoes in this area before and reported to him truthfully. According to the words of the two ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture, the yield of the land in front of them could reach more than thirty-five shi.
One stone of rice weighs about one hundred kilograms, but the density of one stone of sweet potatoes is not as dense as one stone of rice, less than one hundred kilograms. In other words, the yield of this acre of sandy land starts at two to three thousand kilograms per mu.
This is the first batch of sweet potatoes planted in the Xi Kingdom. When the sweet potato planting technology matures in the future, and continuous cultivation and optimization, the yield of sweet potatoes will soar again.
Of course, Yao Yun did not say it directly, but let the facts speak for themselves.
The soldiers received the order, and each of them started digging sweet potatoes with their hoes.
Empress Hanba seemed to be impatient to wait: "Yao Yun, my son, let the soldiers retreat. I will use my magical power to dig an acre of sweet potatoes. This will make it faster."
Yao Yun was a little bit dumbfounded. The female demon empress was too impatient, but the free labor did not go to waste. Ordinary gods would rather watch than do farming. Since the female demon empress was willing to do it, Yao Yun couldn't ask for it, so he immediately nodded in agreement: "Uh.
...That’s fine too!”
Empress Hanba was very excited after getting Yao Yun's permission. Qianqian hooked her hand, and an invisible force enveloped the whole place.
The sweet potato field was "ready to stir." The next moment, there was a continuous "puff, puff, puff" sound, and sweet potatoes burst out of the ground one after another, suspended in the air, and countless vine leaves rustled down.
For a time, the sky was filled with sweet potatoes covered with soil, which was quite spectacular.
“How convenient!”
When Yao Yun saw this scene, he felt infinite emotion in his heart. The power possessed by gods and qigong masters is the greatest productivity in this world, but it is a pity that this kind of power is not usually used for production!
"go!"
The female Demon Queen gave a sweet scolding, and the sweet potatoes in the air flew into the bucket automatically as if they had received some kind of order.
One bucket, two buckets, ten buckets... fifty buckets, one hundred buckets, two hundred buckets... I stopped after loading four hundred buckets...
Ten dou is one dou, and a total of four hundred dou is forty stones!
"My Lord Haotian, the yield per mu is forty stones! It is really high yield!"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was shocked. The yield of forty shi per mu of grain, even if one shi of sweet potatoes is not one hundred kilograms, is at least eighty or ninety kilograms, which is equivalent to the harvest of six or seven acres of rice!
The most important thing is that high-yielding sweet potatoes do not require good paddy fields, just sand fields can produce high yields!
Seeing this, everyone's breathing became heavier. Everything was exactly as the king said!
