Thirty catties per mu!
In total, it was 3,000 jin!
Three thousand catties of food, how many people could eat that?
A family of three, if each of them were to calculate according to 700 catties a year, would only be around 2000 catties a year!!!
In other words, this one mu of land was enough for the people to eat for a year!!!
Of course, there were very few people who could reach the standard of 700 catties of grain per person.
The ordinary people of the Great Tang only ate two meals a day, and each person consumed no more than five hundred jin of grain a year!
Now, you tell me that the yield per mu is 3000 jin!!!
How could he say that?
If there was such food, would there still be so many refugees outside Chang 'an City?
Right now, one mu of land in the Great Tang was only worth two or three piculs, while the average household would only earn five or six mu. The annual harvest was only close to two thousand jin!!!
The people's annual harvest was just enough to keep them fed and clothed.
Therefore, this was also why whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster, there would be a large number of refugees!
It was too difficult!
The lives of the common people in this era of the Great Tang were truly difficult!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a famous sentence that would be passed down for centuries.
Rise, the people suffer; perish, the people suffer!
The officials looked at Li Shimin as if he was a fool.
They really felt that His Majesty had gone crazy.
Even Zhangsun Wuji was so shocked that his scalp went numb when he heard this number.
He opened his mouth wide and looked at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly but nodded.
Hiss…
Zhangsun Wuji immediately took a deep breath and pinched his leg with his fingers.
This way, he would feel better.
Otherwise, he was afraid that his legs would go weak and he would be paralyzed on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
"This kind of joke is not funny.”
"I do have thirty catties of crops per mu, but I have to look for them in my dreams. The Duke of Zhou has them.”
Pei Ji shook his head. He could barely hold back his laughter.
It was too laughable.
It was really too laughable.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Thirty catties per mu!!! How is this possible?"
"If it's true, that means a family of three only needs to plant one mu of land a year. This…this…is absurd!!! It's too absurd!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't say that. Otherwise, if you're not careful, what should we do if the imperial court loses its trust to the people?”
"That's right, Your Majesty. If we tell the people about this result, it will be troublesome if the people don't have 30 catties and the Imperial Court has to make up for it.”
“··········”
The nobles shook their heads, thinking that Li Shimin's words were too absurd!
Impossible!
It was absolutely impossible!
"Impossible?"
"But zhen is happy, happy is impossible!”
"Since all of you feel that it's impossible, then I won't give this precious seed to you.”
"I want to give the first batch of seeds to the people.”
"Zhen has already ordered people to dig up a piece of land at the entrance of the Imperial City.”
"Today, I will personally plant it.”
"Let's see if all the beloved ministers are right or if Zhen is right. Three months later, we will know.”
"Hahaha…"
Li Shi Min stood up with a big laugh and walked out excitedly.
As the Emperor of the Great Tang, his first sweet potato was naturally planted by him.
This way, it was just nice for everyone in the world to watch!
When the harvest came, the commoners would witness the greatness of the sweet potato with their own eyes. There would be no need to specially promote the sweet potato anymore.
He believed that everyone in the world would accept the sweet potato as a crop.
After all, crops could not be easily exchanged.
If they didn't let the people see the results with their own eyes, the people would never try to plant it.
After all, this was a basic living requirement. If it was delayed, the whole family would starve all year round.
The first goal of the commoners was to be safe!
He couldn't gamble!
In the hall, the officials looked at each other.
What kind of drug did His Majesty take today?
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others followed without hesitation.
The remaining officials all looked at Pei Ji and the others.
Pei Ji laughed coldly." His Majesty is messing around. However, since he wants to be laughed at by the world, then we will accompany him."”
"Anyway, even if this big lie is exposed in the end, the people won't be laughing at us.”
"Just watch the show."
"Hehe…I want to see how Your Majesty will end this!”
"Let's go!"
"Let's see what this crop that can produce 30 catties per mu looks like!”
Pei Ji flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
At that time, even if the people made a fuss, the one who would be embarrassed would not be him.
·····················································
In front of the Imperial City.
At this moment, there were already many commoners surrounding them.
It was not because of anything else, but because a piece of land had actually been dug out in front of the Imperial City's gates.
"What are they doing? Why did you open it?"
"I don't know, but these places have just been dug up. Look, those people are still digging the soil. Are they going to plant flowers here?”
"This…How can the Imperial City be so chaotic? That's impossible. This is the gate of the Imperial City. How can you plant flowers here?”
"That's right. I don't know what they're doing!”
“·········”
The commoners discussed animatedly.
"Aiya! Look!"
"His Majesty is here, His Majesty is here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar.
His Majesty is here?
What was he trying to do?
It actually attracted His Majesty to come personally!
The breathing of the commoners slowed down as they stared intently at the entrance of the Imperial City.

Pss: It's been 24 hours again. How dare you modify it!!!!!! It wasn't easy. She wanted to cry.
