"High yield?" Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard the words," How high can it be?”
Xu Ke saw that Li Shiming didn't seem to be very interested in the word 'high-yield', so he revealed a smile."Your Majesty, do you believe me if I say that this thing can produce five or six thousand catties per mu?"”
Xu Ke's tender voice rang out in the hall. In an instant, the entire sleeping hall became extremely quiet. Li Shi Min's eyes were like a hawk's, suddenly becoming extremely sharp. A pair of eyes fell on Xu Ke. It was like a sharp knife hanging over his head. It could fall at any moment and injure Xu Ke.
"Xu Ke, do you know what you are saying to me?”To Xu Ke's surprise, Li Shi Min wasn't shocked or angry. He looked at Xu Ke calmly.
Xu Ke knew that Li Shiming's reaction was a sign of his weakness. Li Er was actually very excited. He was extremely shocked by Xu Ke's words. What kind of concept was this? Now, on fertile land, the highest yield of grain per mu was only 200 to 300 catties. If it was a barren land, the yield per mu might not even be 100 catties.
Indeed, the Great Tang's agricultural productivity was that backward. Suddenly, when Li Shiming heard that the crops could yield five to six thousand catties per mu, his first reaction was that he didn't have any reaction. He was completely out of control.
Xu Ke was stared at by Li Shi Min and couldn't help but shiver."Your Majesty, this is what my master told me." However, I believe in Master's words. Moreover, it's actually very simple to know if this is true.”Xu Ke looked at Li Shi Min, raised his head and said confidently.
"How is it simple?" Li Shi Min frowned and looked at Xu Ke. If Xu Ke had said that to him before, Li Shiming would have thrown Xu Ke out already. However, things were different now. Li Shiming was still willing to believe in this mysterious little devil.
"Your Majesty, if you give me land and manpower, I can produce an acre of sweet potatoes in a day.”
Xu Ke didn't waste any words. He had a servant land. It could quickly ripen a piece of land. Although it could only be used once a day, and according to the land, the range of his ripening was limited, about 1,000 mu of land. However, the yield alone was already terrifying. If 1,000 mu of land was planted with sweet potatoes, the average yield per mu would be 5,000 catties. How much was the yield of 1,000 mu of land? That was a total of five million catties of grain.
"One day?" Li Shi Min was stunned again. He looked at Xu Ke and stared into his eyes, making sure that this kid wasn't lying to him.”
"Ke Yi, you have such a divine ability?”Empress Zhangsun couldn't remain calm anymore. She looked at Xu Ke and asked in shock.
Xu Ke nodded." This is just a small trick, but my ability is limited. I can't do things like ripening crops often, and the scope is limited."”Xu Ke had given him a warning beforehand, lest Li Shiming thought he had the ability to send him to the Tang Empire to get food for him. Xu Ke did not want to be the Minister of Agriculture.
"You…what you said is true. Can this thing really produce five to six thousand catties per mu?”Li Shi Min stood up and looked directly at Xu Ke.
If Xu Ke said that he was playing with him, Li Shiming would not hesitate to lock Xu Ke up in the Imperial Clan Court and teach him a good lesson.
Seeing Li Er like this, Xu Sheng, Li Zhi, Wu Meiniang, and the palace maids and eunuchs present were all intimidated by Li Er's aura and somewhat cowered.
"Li Shi Min is indeed worthy of being called the one emperor of the ages.”Xu Ke didn't care at all, and his eyes met Li Shiming's.”
When he saw Xu Ke looking at him, he calmly expressed that all of this was true. Li Shiming's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself,"This kid is different from ordinary people. He's the son of an Immortal. Perhaps he can grow five to six thousand catties of crops per mu. If this is true, then the strength of the Tang Empire will rise to another level."”Li Shi Min thought.
"What do you want?" Li Shi Min looked at Xu Ke again. He knew that since this kid came to find him and even took out such a thing, he must have his own motive.
"Your Majesty, give me a hundred hectares of fertile land and allocate me with the corresponding labor force. I will return Your Majesty 100 million catties of grain. After that, these 100 hectares of fertile land and those laborers will all belong to me. Is Your Majesty willing?”Xu Ke looked straight at Li Shi Min, he believed that Li Shi Min would agree, this was a big deal. Moreover, Li Shi Min was lacking in food.
