Chapter 248: Zhu Yuanzhang Divides The Potato Shreds, And The Prince Has Nine Pieces [Please Subscri
However, Yan Changqing could still remain calm, but everyone present could not.
Up to Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, in the middle to Wei Guogong Xu Da, Xin Guogong Tang He, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Song Lian, and down to others Hundreds of civil and military officials.
Everything fell into a state of blank mind.
Thirty-six stones!
The yield per mu is thirty-six stones!!
An unprecedented yield of thirty-six shi of grain per mu!!!
Does such auspicious food really exist in the world?!!
In this era when the average grain output per mu is two shi, if a crop of three shi per mu suddenly appears.
Those are all political achievements worthy of local officials specially writing a memorial to boast to the central government and the emperor.
For such things, the central government and the emperor will definitely give rewards to show praise and encouragement.
If there can be a grain output of four stones per mu, it must be auspicious!!!
This grain output of up to four stones per mu will definitely be packaged and sent to the capital without missing a single grain as a tribute to the emperor!!!
And local officials who have made such auspicious achievements under their rule will at least be promoted to the rank of a first or second grade official!!!
This is the importance of high-yield food in this era.
The current potato yield of thirty-six shi per mu and 4,320 kilograms is 18 times the normal yield of two shi per mu and twelve times the abnormally high yield of three shi per mu. It is enough to be called auspicious. Nine times the output of four stones!!!
Such grain output is definitely an unprecedented dimensionality reduction blow in this era!!!
"Thirty-six…………………"
"Thirty-six………………"
"Thirty-six………………"
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured repeatedly subconsciously.
Although he knew before this that the yield of potatoes per mu must be extremely amazing, because Yan Changqing had always repeatedly emphasized that the yield of potatoes per mu was at least twenty shi, so Zhu Yuanzhang's estimate of the yield of potatoes per mu this time was only 20 shi.
At most, it is based on twenty stones. Just imagine whether there will be such high output as twenty-three stones, twenty-four stones, or even twenty-five stones.
But no matter how extravagantly he thought, Zhu Yuanzhang never imagined that the yield of potatoes per mu would reach 30 shi, or even exceed 30 shi, reaching an astonishing thirty-six shi!!!
Empress Ma felt faintly dizzy at this moment, relying on Zhu Yuanzhang to barely keep from falling to the ground.
"It turns out that what Mr. Yan said about Wang Bo's maximum output of 50 shi per mu is true!!!"
Zhu Biao looked at the mountains of potatoes piled up in front of him and murmured to himself with great excitement.
He remembered that Yan Changqing had said before that the maximum yield of potatoes per mu could reach an astonishing fifty stone!!!
And he also knew that when potatoes were planted half a year ago, there were not many potato seeds.
So strictly speaking, the number of potatoes that can be planted in this acre of potato field has not reached the limit, and more potatoes can be planted.
If this acre of potato field is actually planted with potato seeds, it may not be impossible to achieve a domestic production of fifty kilograms!!!
"Thirty-six stones?!`~!"
King Qin Zhu Di also had an unreal expression flashing across his face at this moment. He even couldn't help but pinch his thigh. After feeling the severe pain coming from his thigh, he nodded blankly. Thirty per mu. Six stones, it's true.
"People in the world will no longer have to worry about famine!!!"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan could not suppress the excitement on his face.
"Having these potatoes is enough to extend the Ming Dynasty for another hundred years!!!"
King Yan Zhu Di was also in an extremely excited mood. He knew very well that as long as the people in the world could have enough to eat, not many people would be willing to rebel.
And as long as the people do not rebel, the Ming Dynasty will be able to continue forever!!!
“I didn’t expect that all the potato yields we had guessed before were wrong.”
Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu also said with a smile on his face and a look of joy on his face.
Although they didn't get the bet before, it's good that they didn't get it right! If there were more, he could bear it.
“I originally thought that the yield of twenty-eight stone acres I guessed was already very bold, but I didn’t expect that the reality was even more bold than I thought.
Chu King Zhu Zhen said half depressed and half happy.
"What do you think twenty-eight shi is? The highest I guessed was 30 shi, but the result is still six shi shy of the actual yield per mu!!!"
Qi Wang Zhu Shu rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Song Lian had fallen to the ground at this moment, looking at the mountains of potatoes, or several mountains of potatoes, and kept muttering to himself:
"Auspicious!!!"
“Auspicious!!!”
"Auspiciousness comes from heaven!!!"
Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Chang Mao of Zheng, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, and Duke Tang He of Xin were all excited and crying and laughing.
This is simply countless times more exciting than when they won a big victory!!
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, suddenly looked at Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Tang He and others with piercing eyes and ordered:
"Tiande and Zongyi, please immediately take my order and mobilize 300,000 Beijing troops to surround this place. Not even a fly can be let in or out!!!"
"Siben, Dingchen, immediately impose martial law on this place. From now on, anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed first and then punished!!!"
Xu Da and Feng Sheng immediately accepted the order and responded loudly:
"According to the order!!!"
Then Xu Da and Feng Sheng took Zhu Yuanzhang's order to mobilize troops, immediately found the horse closest to them, got on their horses, and galloped straight towards the military camp where 300,000 Beijing troops were located.
Li Wenzhong and Tang He also responded with solemn faces:
"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"
Li Wenzhong immediately took over the supreme command of the left and right government troops, and Tang He also took over the command of the Wanjin Yiwei on the field.
Yongchang Hou Lanyu, Yingchuan Hou Fu Youde, Xiping Hou Muying and other military generals and noble marquises were all dressed in robes, with their backs facing several piles of potato mountains, with horizontal knives in their hands and spears shining with cold light.
The evil spirit that had been born all over the body was undisguised.
As for the left and right government troops outside, all of them were facing the enemy at this moment.
The sword is unsheathed! The horse is saddled! The bow is strung!
Groups of officers and soldiers from the left and right government troops were patrolling back and forth with murderous intent. At this moment, anyone who approached the Agricultural College without any reason would be killed!!!
On the altar, Yan Changqing looked at the potato mountains surrounding Zhu Yuanzhang, touching them here and there, and said from a distance:
"Your Majesty, since the potato harvest has been abundant, we should try to eat them so that civil and military officials and the people of the world know that field beans are edible.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in front of Tudou Mountain not far away, heard Yan Changqing's words, he immediately refused without looking back:
"No, we've already eaten it before. These potatoes are edible. No need to taste them."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to accept Yan Changqing's proposal at all.
These potatoes in front of you are the hope that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will have enough to eat in the future.
If you eat one more potato now, you will produce dozens or hundreds of fewer potatoes in the future, and it will be a little later for it to spread to the whole world in the Ming Dynasty.
Such a thing is undoubtedly extremely difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to accept.
Seeing this scene, Yan Changqing didn't know that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's petty anger coming out again.
Immediately, Yan Changqing shook his head helplessly and said:
"The yield of this bumper harvest is much greater than what we initially estimated. Even if we take some for trial consumption, it will not affect the original potato planting and promotion plan.
"Moreover, except for His Majesty, no one else has actually eaten potatoes. How can all civil and military officials in the future be able to safely believe that potatoes are edible and promote them to the people all over the world?!!"
Although all the civil and military officials present had never really seen Yan Changqing before, when they heard Yan Changqing's words, they nodded repeatedly.
After all, it is an auspicious grain with a yield of thirty-six stones per mu. Who doesn’t want to try it and taste what it tastes like!!!
Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became hesitant.
After quite a while, Zhu Yuanzhang just picked among those potato mountains, choosing here and there, and selected five potatoes that were not in good condition, but each had more than a kilogram, and said with a heartbroken look on his face:
"."Then let's eat these, or make vinegary potato shreds!!!"
Yan Changqing nodded, saying it didn't matter, he didn't need to do it anyway.
During the three months when Zhu Yuanzhang lived at the Agricultural College, Zhu Biao transferred a group of royal chefs from the palace to the Agricultural College to be responsible for the diet of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma returned, this group of imperial chefs Zhu Biao did not transfer them back, but instead allowed them to stay in the Agricultural College.
Immediately, an imperial chef with the best knife skills, heat, and cooking skills directly used his best knife skills and best cooking skills in his life on the temporary open-air stove.
In just a few moments, several portions of vinegar-sweet potato shreds were successfully completed while the imperial chef was on tenterhooks.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge plate of shredded potatoes, glanced at the civil and military officials present, looked at their longing eyes, thought for a while and said:
"For officials of the seventh rank, two potato shreds are given; (Zhao Lihao) for sixth-rank officials, seven potato shreds are given; for third- and second-rank officials, seven potato shreds are given; for first-rank officials, eight potato shreds are given!"
"For the duke, nine potato shreds will be given; for the marquis, seven potato shreds will be given... For the baron, two potato shreds will be given!"
"We will share the rest with the queen, the princes and Saint!!!"
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's distribution, each huge round dish immediately contained less than ten shredded potatoes, which were handed to the hands of civil and military officials by ten maids.
Even Xu Da and Feng Sheng, who were commanding 300,000 Beijing troops outside, had dedicated chamberlains to pack their portion of shredded potatoes in lunch boxes and send them over.
Yan Changqing looked at the dozen shredded potatoes in front of him, smiled helplessly, and then ate them with chopsticks without thinking.
Then he looked around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as other civil and military officials.
It's like tasting some rare and exotic fruit, slowly tasting the words with your eyes closed.
Just a piece of shredded potato can be held in your mouth for several quarters of an hour without being willing to swallow it.
Yan Changqing didn't know what to say when he saw this scene.
