Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

When everyone saw Shen Liu coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"Everyone get up." Shen Liu stood there and waved his hand casually.

Someone brought chairs and tables over and asked Shen Liu to sit down, but the officials who came with Shen Liu could only stand.

"Are all the corns here?" Shen Liu asked after sitting down and glancing at the pile of corn.

"General, yes." Sheng Xuan and He Mingyu replied quickly.

Shen Liu nodded to show that he understood, and then signaled everyone to continue working.

While peeling corn, Xiao Lan secretly glanced at Shen Liuyi and his group from the corner of her eye, thinking, "What's the point of these people just watching? Why don't they think about peeling the corn themselves?"

Before she could finish her complaints, she saw someone bringing a large scale over there, and they were about to start weighing the corn.

The officials gathered together, staring at the weights. As the numbers were reported one by one, the official in charge of recording added them up with an abacus. When the last bag of corn was weighed, he dialed the abacus a few times and came up with a number. At the same time, Xiao Lan also had a number in her mind: a total of 10,300 kilograms, or 686 kilograms per mu.

In modern times, this per-acre yield is very low, but this was in ancient times. For people of that era, this per-acre yield was a new high.

"The corn yield is very high. God bless our Daqi... God bless our Daqi..." Several officials who collected statistics were so excited that they almost cried.

In this era, the north planted one crop a year, and the south planted two crops a year, but the yield per mu was not high. In Shengjia Village, the fertile land, the annual harvest was only about 300 kilograms.

Xiaolan's corn is planted on virgin land, which is not even top-quality land. The yield per mu is 686 kilograms. If it were planted on top-quality land, the yield per mu would probably be even higher. However, even if the yield per mu is 686 kilograms, it is still amazing enough. The benefits of this yield to the country and the people are immeasurable.

Shen Liu sat on the chair, looked at the excited officials, leaned back, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

The yield per mu is nearly 700 kilograms. Thinking about the memorial he submitted before and the memorial he will submit next, I am afraid that the person on the dragon throne will also be overjoyed.

The people of the world can have enough food to eat and the country's granaries can have surplus grain. This is the contribution of the Great Qi Dynasty made by his Shen Jiadui.

Of course, if we want to promote corn, we must start from Liaodong Prefecture. The people and soldiers of Liaodong Prefecture can have enough food before the people of other regions. The granaries of Liaodong Prefecture can be filled, the soldiers of Liaodong Prefecture will not have to worry about food and grass, and the soldiers under his command can have enough food. This is his Shen family, this is what he, Shen Liu, said to his hometown and the soldiers he led.

The discovery of the high yield of corn came from the seeds Xiaolan brought back from Hejian County.

Thinking about his acquaintance with Miss Xiaolan, and her later desire to rescue him and her taking his adviser He Ming to do business, to the high-yield corn she offered now, it seemed as if there was some kind of attraction that brought them together and allowed him to make such a great contribution.

Although the world is peaceful now, the famine and war of the past two years are still vivid in people's minds. Many people cannot get enough food to eat, not to mention the drought that hit the entire Liaodong Prefecture last year. Now people can only live a more frugal life by tightening their belts.

If a high-yield crop like corn were to become popularized, it would be a great contribution to the country and could even be compared to the military exploits of the Shen family's ancestors who followed Emperor Taizong in founding the country.

With this achievement, the Shen family's position in the court will be secure, and even the queen's position will be more stable.

The memorial cannot only highlight the contributions of the Shen family, but also those of the Sheng family.

Shen Liu looked past everyone and finally stopped at Xiao Lan.

In this matter, the Sheng family has made great contributions. How should they be rewarded? Shen Liu was lost in thought.

"General, I found that our horses are quite willing to eat corn stalks." He Mingyu walked to Shen Liu and whispered to him, "Also, Xiao Lan said that she wanted to grind some cornmeal and make some cornmeal food for us to try."

Shen Liu nodded, then called his followers over and whispered a few instructions.

The man took half a bag of corn and went to town.

After the corn was ground, Zhang started making corn cakes under Xiaolan's verbal guidance.

Mix the cornmeal with water and put it on the edge of the big iron pot to make pancakes. Then cook another pot of corn porridge.

The high yield of corn has been confirmed, but as for whether it is edible and can satisfy hunger, people still need to taste it. This will be more convincing and help promote corn better.

Hearing is not as good as seeing. What Xiaolan's family is doing now is to let everyone try the real things made of cornmeal to see if it can really fill them up and relieve hunger.

Cornmeal cakes are rough food. For farmers, all they want is to fill their stomachs. This rough food is nothing to them, but for officials like Shen Liu, their mouths and stomachs may not be used to it.

But Xiaolan and the others couldn't care less.

After the corn cakes were ready, Xiao Lan told the servants around Shen Liu.

After the servant finished reporting to Shen Liu, Shen Liu nodded and stood up, following the servant to Xiao Lan's food shop. The officials who came with Shen Liu naturally followed him.

Tables and chairs had already been set up in the lobby of the Sheng family restaurant. Shen Liu came in with his people. Xiao Lan hurried over and led Shen Liu and the others to a table and sat down.

Corn porridge and corn pancakes were served. Xiao Lan introduced the cooking methods of the two dishes to everyone, and then invited Shen Liu and others to taste them.

Shen Liu tasted both dishes on the table, and the officials accompanying him followed suit and tried them as well.

After everyone finished tasting, Shen Liu said, "It's time to go back."

Everyone quickly stood up and followed Shen Liu out.

Because she had not had a chance to talk to Shen Liu, Xiao Lan took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly trotted over to Shen Liu and asked in a low voice, "General, what are your plans for the corn? Can you leave some for our family?"

All the corn on the drying yard had been packed into military ration sacks. If she didn't ask for some now, she would probably have no chance.
