"This kid is quite well-prepared!”
Looking at the twenty-plus people behind Li Xuan, Wei Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The walking pole used to measure the land, the big pole used to weigh the grain, and even the gunnysack, this kid had people bring them over.
"These 400 to 500 mu will take at least ten days to half a month to finish digging. How about this? We'll dig out half an mu and use twice as the number.”
Li Xuan said to Li Er as he took the pole from the tenant farmer.
"Hmm, that's a good idea!"
Li Er nodded in satisfaction. It was already noon. He did not want to wait here on an empty stomach!
If these twenty people were fast, they would probably finish digging in less than an hour.
"For the sake of fairness, you will be the ones to choose and measure this half mu of potato field!”
As Li Xuan spoke, he handed the pole over.
"Could it be that what this kid said is true?”
Zhangsun Wuji suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw his confident face.
However, when he remembered that there had never been a grain yield of more than 400 catties per mu, he was slightly relieved.
"Good! If it's really as you said, with a yield of 4,000 catties per mu, I'll agree to even ten requests, let alone one, haha…!”
Li Er laughed heartily. At the same time, he looked at Li Xuan with a hint of admiration.
Taking the initiative to let them pick a piece of land, it was enough to show that this kid was open and aboveboard and very confident!
If this thing could really be produced in large quantities, it would be a blessing for the people of the Great Tang!
"Old Master, leave the measurement to me and Old Wei!”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and volunteered.
"Take it…!"
Li Er handed over the walking stick, his eyes almost forming a line from laughing.
He wanted to see how much production capacity this foreign country could produce.
Zhangsun Wuji took the walking pole and measured half an acre of potato field on a piece of land with sparse leaves.
"This…there are fruits in this soil?”
While the two of them were measuring, the farmers saw Cheng Yaojin pulling out the sweet potatoes.
They all ran over curiously. They placed it in their mouths and took a bite. Their eyes immediately widened!
It was crispy and sweet in the mouth, just like the fruit on the tree.
They originally thought that their young master did not know how to grow crops and was just fooling around. Planting these things that only had vines and leaves would only waste the land.
He did not expect that there would be such a huge fruit under the vines.
Two months ago, after Young Master had them plant the seedlings and dig the ditches, he never let them work in the fields again.
So, they didn't know that there was such a treasure in this land?
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and get to work.”
Seeing the twenty-plus bumpkins fondly holding the sweet potatoes, Li Xuan hurriedly urged,""After you finish digging, each person can get ten catties as wages!”
"Alright, Young Master!"
The group of people threw down the sweet potatoes in their hands and went to work happily.
Half an acre of sweet potatoes were dug up by more than twenty people in less than an hour.
Under the supervision of Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and the others, everyone started weighing in a hurry.
"113 jin!"
"110 jin!"
"147 jin!"
……
The big pole was a thick stick. Each bag needed two strong laborers to carry it.
As the bags were weighed, Zhangsun Wuji was already dumbfounded. He hadn't even finished weighing half of them, and it was already almost a thousand catties?
According to this estimation, the yield of this half mu of land would most likely exceed two thousand jin.
"Alright, alright…
"The heavens truly bless our Great Tang!"
"This is the fortune of the people of the Great Tang!”
On the contrary, Li Er was cheering excitedly.
There was probably no other person in the world who could still be so happy after losing the bet!
……
There were still two more chapters in the afternoon.
