"How much, how much? Hurry up. You're so dilly-dallying. How can you be the main registrar?”
"That's right. How many catties of grain does one mu produce?”
"It's piled up like a small mountain. I've never seen so much food in my life.”
A group of farmers gathered around the Xuanyi County registrar and asked him anxiously. From time to time, he would glance at the mountain of sweet potatoes at the side.
At this moment, these sweet potatoes had already been weighed. However, the exact weight had not been calculated yet. A rough estimate would be that the yield per mu would be shocking and terrifying. Just the number alone was enough to make one's blood boil.
If not for this, these honest farmers would never dare to speak to the county registrar like this.
" Don't be anxious, don't be anxious…" The registrar scratched his ears and cheeks as he shouted at the people around him. Then, he grabbed his pen and continued to calculate.
Xu Ke rolled his eyes." If I had known, I would have calculated it myself. It took me dozens of seconds to solve a primary school question, but I still haven't calculated it yet. It's inefficient."”
" It's out, it's out. It's a total of 5637 catties…Oh my god, this…This…" The chief registrar of Xuanyi County was sweating profusely. Under the urging of the crowd, he finally calculated the total yield of sweet potatoes per mu.
When the number appeared, everyone was stunned. Each and every one of them stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.
Xu Ke smiled." 5600 catties. Not bad, not bad. It's much more than I expected. It seems that this is indeed a fertile field." Moreover, the soil directly ripened. Compared to natural growth, it reduced more accidents. Not bad.”
"More than 5,000 catties? Did I hear wrongly? Is there really a crop with such a high yield?”
"This…immortal fruit, it must be immortal fruit…Little immortal, little immortal.”
"With such a high yield, even if the taste is not good, it's still worth planting. This is equivalent to the yield of more than 20 mu of land.”
The farmers who reacted immediately exploded. Their expressions were as if they had taken stimulants. Cheers and joy, some even secretly shed tears. This scene made Xu Ke somewhat speechless.
"Commandant Zhou, find a soldier to bring 100 catties of sweet potatoes back to Chang 'an and tell His Majesty about the yield per mu here.”Xu Ke's small head turned to Zhou Dun. However, he was still hesitant. Now that the yield per mu was out, telling Li Er was equivalent to giving Li Shiming a reassurance. This was good for Li Er and Xu Ke himself.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Sure enough, Zhou Dun put away his shocked expression and said to Xu Ke. Then, he ordered the person beside him to leave with a hundred catties of sweet potatoes.
In the Imperial City, the Hall of Political Affairs was Empress Zhangsun's sleeping quarters. At this moment, Celestial Emperor and Empress were talking as husband and wife.
"Your Majesty, a few Imperial Army soldiers have returned from Xuanyi County. They said that they were sent back by Commandant Zhou and have something important to report to Your Majesty.”The chamberlain entered the room and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Oh, there's news so quickly. Let someone in.”Li Shi Min raised his head, his brows creasing slightly." Guanyin maid, guess what news she brought back?"”
When Empress Zhangsun heard this, she looked at Li Shiming and smiled." I think it's news that you want to hear, Second Brother. Otherwise, it's already night time and I wouldn't disturb Your Majesty."”
Li Shi Min nodded, his face full of anticipation. He looked at the door, waiting for someone to come in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Three imperial guards entered from outside the door. Two of them carried bamboo baskets filled with sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes were still stuck to the soil. It was obvious that they had just been dug out of the ground.
"Speak. What message did Zhou Dun ask you to bring back?”Li Shi Min glanced at them, then turned his burning gaze to the pile of sweet potatoes.
"Your Majesty, Commandant Zhou asked us to inform Your Majesty. Marquis Xuanyi used his divine art in the afternoon to make the hundred hectares of fertile land roll on its own. Soon after, the fruits and vegetables on the field began to ripen. 5,637 catties of sweet potatoes were produced from the ground.”
Li Shi Min's face changed instantly, and he stood up abruptly.”
"Five thousand six hundred and thirty-seven jin, one mu of land.”Seeing Li Shiming's excited expression, the imperial soldier's heart skipped a beat, but he still answered honestly.
"That kid didn't lie to me. Is there really such a high-yield crop in the world?”Li Shi Min clenched his fists, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Quickly tell me the details.”
"Yes ~!"
An hour later, the three Imperial Army soldiers left. Li Shi Min and Empress Zhangsun looked at the basket of sweet potatoes in disbelief.
"Guanyin maid, it seems that we have found a god-like son-in-law this time. This child is too unbelievable.”Li Shi Min sighed.
"Second Brother, this is a good thing. Ke Yi is still young and has a lot of potential. If you and I discipline him well, he will definitely become a pillar of the Great Tang in the future.”Empress Zhangsun said to Li Shimin with a loving look in her eyes.
