"Retreat!"
Xu Feng turned around and walked towards the side hall of the imperial court.
Now that his cultivation had broken through to Rank-4 Grandmaster, his strength had greatly increased.
He had to quickly increase his cultivation.
Xu Feng returned to the residence of Lord Zhenbei.
Yin Libo was led by two eunuchs to Xu Feng's residence.
"Greetings, Lord Zhenbei!"
After what had happened in the past few days, Yin Libo knew that Xu Feng was definitely not a good-for-nothing who had come to Beijing to laze around. He was someone with real talent and ability. He also admired Xu Feng very much in his heart.
When he arrived at the mansion and saw Xu Feng, he bowed slightly and said.
"Lord Yin, there's no need to be so polite!"
Xu Feng had called Yin Libo over because he wanted to ask him how far the Great Tang's food production had progressed.
"Sit down and talk!"
Xu Feng sat down and gestured for Yin Libo to come in.
"I would like to ask Lord Yi, in your opinion, what is the biggest problem with the lack of food in the Great Tang?”
Xu Feng asked Yin Libo.
" Reporting to Northern Fortress Lord, the natural and man-made disasters that have occurred in recent years, coupled with the uneven farming standards, I'm afraid that the people in some places are even lacking the most basic farming tools.”
As the Minister of Works, Yin Libo was helpless. Whether it was researching planting techniques or researching production tools, they all needed money.
And if Yin Libo wanted to get some silver from the Ministry of Revenue, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. How could he possibly create such a good tool?
Xu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. The world of high martial artists in front of him was almost similar to the ancient dynasties on Earth before he transmigrated, except that martial artists could cultivate and increase their strength.
That was, the productivity was low, the cost of planting was high, and the production capacity was very weak. To put it bluntly, the effort and return were not proportional.
"Let me ask you, in the current situation of the Great Tang, how much grain can be produced per mu in the two most fertile days?”Xu Feng asked Yin Libo.
Back in the Beihuang Region, Xu Feng was very familiar with the production of grain.
After all, the 400,000 strong army of the Beihuang Region consumed a large amount of food every day. Therefore, Xu Feng's Northern Battlefront Army still had to farm when they were fighting.
"If the soil is good, the yield per mu is only four or five catties. The other places only produced two to three catties.”Yin Libo said to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng nodded. He had won an acre of potato seeds from the lottery. He only needed to find a place in the Ministry of Works to plant it, and then it could be spread throughout the Great Tang.
The potato seeds in his hands had been improved by the system. The yield of potatoes was worlds apart from other crops.
One mu of land planted with potato seeds could produce at least a thousand catties of potatoes. Furthermore, he had the seeds that had been improved by the system.
"I'll go with you to the Ministry of Works!"
Xu Feng and Yin Libo arrived at the Ministry of Works 'territory.
His territory was quite vast.
When the officials from the Ministry of Works saw Xu Feng, they were all shocked. They came to Xu Feng and said, Greetings, Lord Zhenbei."
Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh. Because the Ministry of Works couldn't get any silver from the Ministry of Revenue, there were very few officials in the Ministry of Works.
"No need to be so polite!"
Xu Feng said to the officials from the Ministry of Works.
"Lord Yi, please find me an acre of land. I need to experiment with a new type of grain seed. If this experiment succeeds, I can guarantee that the Great Tang will have at least a third less famine.”
Xu Feng knew very well that the production of potatoes was astonishing and could be used to replace the staple food. Although eating too much would affect the taste, it was better than not eating at all.
" Lord Zhenbei, will you test it yourself?"
Yin Libo's eyes widened in disbelief, but deep in his eyes, there was deep admiration.
He didn't expect Xu Feng, who was such a decisive person, to actually put his mind on the grain seed experiment. It could be said that he cared about the common people!
This was truly a blessing for the people of the Great Tang!
"Yes!"
Xu Feng nodded.
Yin Libo brought Xu Feng to a relatively good piece of land. It was cleaned up.
"Please step back a little. After I plant the seeds, it will only take half a month for the results to appear!”Xu Feng said to Yin Libo and the others.
Yin Libo and the others didn't understand. Since Xu Feng was planting seeds, why did he ask them to retreat? Don't you need to dig up the soil to grow this kind of magical food?
A powerful aura burst out from Xu Feng's body. The moment he waved his hands, the soil of an acre of land instantly flew up. Yin Libo and the others only saw fist-sized shadows flying into the soil. They had never seen them before, so they didn't know how to ask Xu Feng.
In a short while, all the potato seeds were thrown into the soil by Xu Feng.
"Done!"
Xu Feng clapped his hands. He knew that planting potatoes was very simple. All he needed to do was provide some water and soil. It was very simple to plant and the harvest was very good.
"Northern Monarch, is this enough?"
Yin Libo felt that it was a little hasty.
Xu Feng smiled faintly and said," You only need to sprinkle some water into the soil from time to time in this half a month. If you have farm manure, just put in a little." Half a month later, we will witness a miracle together.”
With that, Xu Feng left the Ministry of Works.
Seeing Xu Feng leave so hastily, Yin Libo was disappointed.
He was very familiar with farming in the world.
Whether it was corn or rice, they all needed to be planted carefully.
If they continued to plant like Xu Feng, they would only have no harvest.
In his heart, he also felt that Xu Feng was just doing it on a whim. How could he really develop a new grain seed?
