The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Without anyone from the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion to disturb her, Shi Lidie's life was very peaceful.

She performed the elegant task while growing potatoes.

With the joint efforts of Shi Lidie, the Agricultural Affairs Bureau and the farmers in Huangzhuang, and with the help of the accelerated nutrient solution provided by the system, the potatoes in the field grew green leaves, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye can see.

Two months flew by.

Chen Zhao happened to come over to check, and when he saw the green plants on the ground, he turned around and asked Shi Lidie:

"This is a potato? Where's the fruit?"

"They grow underground." Shi Lidie said, "When we pull these out, we'll see a lot of potatoes at the roots. Lord Chen, it's time to harvest the potatoes. Do you want to report this to the emperor?"

"I'll go right away. His Majesty once said that he would come to see it in person when the potatoes are harvested," Chen Zhao replied.

He trusts Shi Lidie more.

After learning that the potatoes were ripe, he went to the palace immediately and told the emperor the good news.

So the emperor immediately went on a private visit, bringing his personal eunuch and several imperial guards, accompanied by Chen Zhao and several other officials from the Ministry of Revenue, to the imperial farm to see the potato harvest.

At the same time, Shi Lidie had prepared everything.

She gathered all the farmers in Yulong Manor and told them how to dig potatoes.

After all, potato fruits grow underground, so you have to be extra careful when swinging the hoe, otherwise it is easy to break the potatoes.

She divided one acre of land into countless small plots and arranged for farmers to guard them, waiting to start digging as soon as the emperor arrived.

When the emperor arrived at the imperial farm, this was the spectacular scene he saw.

There is a whole acre of potatoes, and the potato seedlings are lush and green. They are growing very well under the care of the farmers. The leaves are smooth, tender and full of vitality. There is no damage or insects. The sight of green is refreshing.

"Your Highness." Shi Lidie walked over and saluted the emperor.

"It seems that you are already prepared. You even have several scales. Are you so confident that the potato yield per mu can exceed 3,000 kilograms?" His Majesty asked with a smile when he saw Shi Lidie.

"Today is the time to witness the results. Your Majesty will know at a glance whether we can do it or not." After Shi Lidie answered, she took the flag in her hand and waved it at the farmers.

Wave the flag as a signal and start digging!

Farmers started to take action. Some dug with hoes, some with shovels, and some were afraid of hurting or breaking the potatoes, so they just dug the ground with their hands.

Seeing that everyone was busy, the emperor took two steps forward and went in to take a look.

There was a farmer at the edge who dug with his bare hands.

I saw him use both hands to pull out a cluster of potato seedlings, and then I saw that there were many potatoes growing densely on the roots below the potato seedlings. Each one was the size of an adult's fist. I roughly counted them and there were thirty-two of them.

These are just the ones that have been pulled out, there are still some that have not been pulled out.

The farmer dug up the soil and found seven more potatoes, still no smaller than an adult's fist.

He piled up the potatoes produced from a potato seedling and counted them. There were thirty-nine in total, a full pile covered with soil, looking like a small hill.

The emperor looked at so many potatoes, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes. He ordered:

"Quick! Check the scale and see how many pounds it weighs!"

Soon someone came over with a scale and started weighing the pile of potatoes.

A potato the size of an adult's fist weighs about 200 grams, and some even weigh more than this. These 39 potatoes weigh a total of 19.7 kilograms.

Rounding it off, it's almost exactly 20 kilograms.

When the emperor heard this number, his eyes widened with shock. He asked Eunuch Huang in disbelief:

"How many?"

"Your Majesty, it's nearly 20 kilograms!" Eunuch Huang said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, for finding such a powerful disaster-relief artifact. A potato plant can produce 20 kilograms, so how much should this acre of land produce?"

The emperor roughly calculated that if every potato seedling on this piece of land had this yield.

Then the potato yield per mu will reach 8,000 kilograms! !

"Your Majesty, it's not that exaggerated." Shi Lidie quickly interrupted the emperor's fantasy, "Not every potato plant on this acre is like the one we just dug up."

"Why?" the emperor was puzzled.

Shi Lidie explained in detail:

“Because this acre of potatoes was not planted at the same time.”

"I didn't have many potato seeds at the time, so they needed to be bred and divided. Some of the potatoes that were planted earlier took a little longer to grow and were more fully grown, so they probably produced more fruits."

“The ones planted later are definitely less than the previous batch.”

"Then the block system is implemented for this acre of potatoes. In order to study the growth of potatoes in different environments, the adults in the Agricultural Department divided the blocks, so the growth environment of each potato seedling is not exactly the same."

"Add to that the uncertainties of labor, so the yield of this acre of potatoes is at most 5,000 kilograms."

The emperor listened to this explanation and nodded:

"Five thousand kilograms is already very good! In Fengping County, the rice yield per mu is only two to three hundred kilograms, which is why famine occurs. With such a magical item, I'm sure it will be able to resolve the crisis."

The official from the Ministry of Revenue had been listening nearby. When he learned that the potato yield per mu was 5,000 kilograms, he immediately flattered the emperor:

"Your Majesty is gifted with wisdom and great fortune. Only with the favor of God can such a divine object appear in the world to solve your Majesty's worries. God bless Dayin!"

The emperor did not comment on these flatteries, but still said:

"It is indeed God's curtain."

"Shi Lidie, I have remembered your contribution, and I will not forget what I promised you. Tomorrow morning, I will announce this happy event in public. You should come with me and wait for my summons."

Shi Lidie bowed slightly: "As you wish."

There were many farmers in Huangzhuang, and strength lies in numbers. It took six or seven hours, or most of the day, to finally dig up all the potatoes per acre.

After weighing, the result was almost the same as Shi Lidie predicted, 5342 kilograms.

Several officials who had not had a good night's sleep for several months due to the disaster in Fengping County, looked at the piles of potatoes and cried with joy:

"Fengping County is saved!"

Chen Zhao looked at this scene, turned around, and bowed deeply to Shi Lidie:

"Ms. Shi, you are so kind. I thank you on behalf of the people of Fengping County."

Shi Lidie quickly helped him up, but did not accept his greeting. She just said:

"I originally came from Fengping County. I am doing this now just because I want to do something for the place where I grew up. What's more, I have experienced disasters myself and know how difficult the days of disasters are. I am also very happy to be able to help Fengping County."

The emperor heard Shi Lidie's words and showed a look of approval in his eyes.

It's really amazing that a girl at such a young age can have the ambition to "help the world when she is successful"!

Suddenly, the emperor decided to reward Shi Lidie more generously.
