"Young Master Qin, how many sweet potatoes can one mu of land produce?" asked Wei Zheng.”
While they were talking, Du Ruhui had already eaten two roasted sweet potatoes.
Qin Fang thought for a moment. In modern society, the average yield of sweet potatoes was about 6,000 catties, but there were also 8,000 to 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes that were planted well.
During the Great Tang, a stone was equivalent to 53 kilograms, which meant that the yield per mu was 60 to 100 stones.
However, the Great Tang's farming techniques were inferior to modern society.
So compromise
"About 70 stones per mu."
Li Shi Min and the others were shocked.
What could produce 70 stones per mu?
"Brother Qin, why don't you promote such a high-yield product?”
"The people of the world are crying for food."
"That's right. The old farmer just said that this thing is very easy to grow. This is a blessing to the world.”Li Shi Min said excitedly.
Can my people finally eat their fill?
"It's not that I don't know. I didn't promote it before because I was afraid it would be too eye-catching."”
"If I promote it, with my contribution, I will at least be crowned king.”
"You know, I don't even want to be the emperor, let alone a king, let alone an official.”
"I'm just that low-key."
If these words were heard by the officials in the court, they would definitely be angered to death.
They tried every means to climb up and become high officials.
However, Qin Fang was like a god of plague, afraid that he would become a king.
Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng were eating sweet potatoes calmly. They were used to Qin Fang's rebellious words.
I don't even want to be the emperor?
If this sentence was thrown onto anyone's head, it would be a great crime to exterminate their entire family.
This Qin Fang opened his mouth.
The strangest thing was that the Emperor was right in front of Qin Fang, but he was not angry at all. He even felt that what Qin Fang said made sense.
This was the Almighty, right? He was so awesome!
"Brother Qin, what you said makes sense.”
As expected, the Emperor felt that Qin Fang's rebellious words made sense and agreed with them.
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and smiled.
"However, things are different now."
"Now that my elder brother is here, tell me the seeds and planting method.”
"I'll promote it for you."
Li Shi Min said anxiously.
Qin Fang didn't even think about it and nodded." That's fine. I, Qin Fang, am not someone who doesn't care about the world."”
The commoners of the Great Tang were also pitiful.
Although the Great Tang was prosperous, did this prosperity really have anything to do with ordinary people?
It was just the glory of the emperor.
The commoners only wanted to eat their fill. It was a very humble thought.
Li Shimin was willing to be a tool, and Qin Fang was happy to relax.
"Brother Qin's actions are all thanks to Yao and Shun.”Li Shi Min praised.
She thought that Qin Fang would raise some conditions, but she did not expect him to be so straightforward.
"However, you have to pay. You have to settle accounts with your own brothers. Old Li, you can't go around for free.”Qin Fang said.
Li Shimin: Forget it.
"Brother Qin is right. How can we take such a treasure for free?”Li Shi Min laughed.
"But how can I have money now? Could it be that I, the emperor, have to sell my children to pay off my debts?”Li Shi Min thought with a headache.
Wait a minute...
Sell their children?
Li Shi Min thought of Princess Xiang Cheng…
The princess, who was far away in Xiang City, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Princess Xiang Cheng: " Strange, it's already spring. Why is it suddenly so cold?"
"Brother Qin, I have something to ask. Do you plan to get married?”Li Shi Min laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng's entire nerves were pulled up.
Wei Zheng squinted at Li Shimin.
"No, I haven't." Qin Fang shook his head and replied politely.
"To be honest, after my daughter Li Xiang met you at the garden poem last time, she said, She can't forget you."
"My daughter is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is very compatible with Young Master Qin. If you don't abandon her, why don't we become in-laws?”Li Shi Min said slowly with a smile on his face.
Li Shimin thought to himself,"After we become in-laws, you can't ask me for money just for some sweet potatoes."
Tsk!
F * ck!
Damn Li Shi Min!
For the sake of Wei Qingrou's happiness, Wei Zheng immediately stood up.
"Young Master Qin, please wait a moment."
"You don't know this, but ever since my daughter Wei Qingrou met you, she has always admired you and talked about you to me.”
"My daughter's talent is also one of the best in the capital, and she is also very compatible with you. It is more suitable for Young Master Qin to marry my Wei Qingrou.”
Li Shimin glared at Wei Zheng.
Old farmer!
You actually dare to snatch my son-in-law.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng surrounded Qin Fang and looked at him with smiles, waiting for his answer.
Qin Fang looked at their smiles and felt his scalp go numb.
When Li Shiming was the first to walk out, Qin Fang felt that his handsomeness had conquered Li.
However, when Li Shimin and Wei Zheng walked out, Qin Fang started to feel that something was wrong.
Qin Fang had always been very confident in his handsomeness.
However, the daughters of the two men in front of him were both good-looking and talented. The number of people chasing them could probably line up from Chang 'an to the Turks.
Just because he was handsome, they were selling their daughters to him?
With their standards for choosing a spouse, they probably wouldn't even fancy anyone who wasn't royalty, right?
He was just a small landlord. What right did he have to make the fairy-like Miss Li and Miss Wei take a fancy to him?
Qin Fang would never believe that there was no conspiracy behind this.
He probably wanted to get his daughter to marry him and get the sweet potato seeds at a low price.
These two little old men were really sly.
There was no way he could get the seeds at a low price!
"Everyone, you're too polite."
"What right does this kid have to marry your daughter? No need, no need."
Qin Fang shook his head and hands, rejecting their kindness.
"Young Master Qin, to tell you the truth, I've been having some cash flow problems recently. I can't buy so many sweet potato seeds at the moment." Li Shimin was anxious.”
"But I also want to quickly spread this sweet potato seed throughout the Great Tang so that all the people of the Great Tang can have their fill.”
Qin Fang raised his head slightly and looked at Li Shimin."Old Li, I didn't expect a businessman like you to have such strong feelings for your country.”Qin Fang couldn't help but feel a little infected.
"Hehe, I simply didn't want to see the commoners go hungry, so I didn't think too much about it.”Li Shi Min quickly explained.
"Seeing that you're doing this for the people, I, Qin Fang, can't make things too difficult for you.”
"I'll allow you to owe it first. You can pay it back when you have enough money in the future.”
" I'll sell it to you at the normal price of grain. I'll sell it to you at two copper coins per 500 grams," Qin Fang said.
" Aiya, I can finally sell the sweet potatoes in the cellar of the Qin Manor. Otherwise, I won't have a place to store the new sweet potatoes in three months," Qin Fang thought to himself.
"This price is reasonable. I agree.”Li Shi Min said.
Li Shi Min thought to himself,'If it really doesn't work out, I'll use Princess Xiang Cheng to repay my debt.'
"Brother Qin, I'm not too sure about farming. Can you explain in detail how to plant sweet potatoes?”Li Shi Min asked.
"I knew you would ask this. Xiao Die, go and get the sweet potato planting manual I wrote.”Qin Fang instructed. Xiao Die immediately went to the study to bring the sweet potato planting manual over and even drew a picture.
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
At this moment, most people were illiterate.
Although there were agricultural officials in various places who specialized in promoting farming techniques, it was better to have maps.
"That's great. I'll tell the trading firm tomorrow to promote the sweet potatoes.”Li Shimin felt as if he had obtained a treasure.
The emperor did not value gold and jade, but valued food for the common people.
"Old Li, I want to criticize you," said Qin Fang.”
"Look at Sister-in-law. She came to our farm personally to learn how to plant from the old farmer.”
"Look at you, you never get off the ground."
Li Shimin stood up and bowed to the Empress.”
The Empress hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting." I wouldn't dare. It's just my duty."”
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin followed suit.
"You guys are just too polite." Qin Fang smiled. When you leave later, ask Er Niu for the seeds. I've packed dozens of carriages for you, enough for you to promote around Chang 'an.”
After dinner at the Qin manor, Li Shimin took the seed back to Chang 'an.
Along the way, the Empress looked at Qin Fang's seed and was overjoyed.
