Transformed into a peasant girl, seduced men and raised children to bring prosperity to the whole fa

Throughout the field, every citizen was excited, and they became more and more excited as they dug potatoes.

Almost all the potatoes in the field were large and abundant.

After a rough weighing, it was calculated that the yield per mu was almost 9000 to kilograms.

This was like a bombshell that hit everyone's heart all at once.

Although the Chu family planted potatoes last year, no one knew that the potato yield could be so terrifying.

The people, who had already cried in the morning, started crying again after learning the per-mu yield.

No matter how the county magistrate and Lan Li tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Everyone was digging potatoes while crying. By noon, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, but no one thought of stopping.

The county magistrate asked everyone to go back and rest and continue digging in the afternoon.

But no one was willing to do so. Seeing baskets of potatoes being dug out, they were so excited that they didn't want to eat, not to mention the heat. They were hungry all morning and didn't want to eat.

The county magistrate and Lan Li felt extremely sad when they saw everyone's enthusiastic looks.

This is an important moment that Beiyang hopes to arrive at, and no one is willing to stop.

Well, if you can’t persuade him, then stop trying.

In the end, no one wanted to go home, so they just sat on the ground, made a fire, put the potatoes in the fire, roasted them and ate them.

The baked potatoes are soft and sticky, and my stomach feels bloated after eating just one.

Continue working after eating.

Everyone dug from morning to night, and only left the fields reluctantly when night fell.

The people from the Central Plains in Beiyang City felt strange all day as they hardly saw any local people.

All I saw was basket after basket of things being transported from outside the city to each household.

One after another, they were curious, but no one told them.

After a busy day, Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi returned home, feeling dizzy.

It's hot and sunny outside, so I won't go out tomorrow.

The potato harvest was good, so they didn't need any further instructions, and they had to dig up their own potatoes.

Tomorrow we have to go find the group of refugees living outside the city.

The potato digging work was in full swing. The whole family of the people joined in the work. It took five days in total and all the potatoes were harvested.

This year's grain output is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than in the past.

When everyone paid the grain tax, they were all happy and smiling, without any reluctance.

Even if they handed over half, even if they handed over 90%, there would still be a lot left compared to previous years.

However, the government only collects taxes according to last year's standards.

Each household only paid 10% of the grain.

This means that only 1000 kilograms out of kilograms need to be delivered.

Because there were only 100,000 kilograms of potatoes at the beginning, and there were so many people in Beiyang, if each household was divided according to the number of people, there would not be much left.

A maximum of two acres of land can be cultivated.

But they are also satisfied. Now that they have harvested so many potatoes, they will have enough seeds for next year and can plant as much as they want.

With the new grain, people ate potatoes every day and never got tired of them.

They have more and more ways to cook potatoes, most of which they learned from food stalls and the Chu family restaurant.

They cook potatoes in many ways.

There are all kinds of potato dishes, such as stir-fried potato shreds with green peppers, braised potatoes with beef, wolf tooth potatoes, and cold potatoes.

What's more, they can buy vegetables like green peppers in the city.

Although the food they cooked was far inferior to that of the Chu family, it was already a rare delicacy for them.

Because of the potato issue, the county magistrate and Lan Li have been very busy recently.

They watched as the granaries became more and more full, until they could no longer hold any more, so they opened two more.

These potatoes were all collected through taxation, and they are pleasing to the eye.

In the past, even if Lan Li went to fight in the surrounding areas, he did not dare to chase the enemy far away because of the lack of food and grass supply.

There was too little grain that could be grown in Beiyang, and they had no other choice but to wait for supply from the imperial court.

But the imperial court was too far away from Beiyang, and sometimes a war would break out suddenly and they had no time to wait.

But now, if anyone around here dares to provoke them, Lan Li will bring his men to kill them and kill them in his lair!

Anyway, the thing they have the least of is food.

"General Lan, do you think that if all these potatoes were piled up in the warehouse, would they go bad?"

All these potatoes were piled together and there was a chance they wouldn't go bad, so the county magistrate was a little worried.

Lan Li: "It's okay. I asked. The weather here is dry, so potatoes don't sprout easily. I heard that it's okay to leave them for a year. But you must remember to put up a notice. Sprouting potatoes will be toxic, so they can't be eaten."

"I know. I have asked someone to prepare a notice."

After thinking for a while, the county magistrate said, "The potatoes are now having such a bumper harvest, with such a large yield per mu. When will we report it, and when will we send the potato seeds to the court?"

Providing potato seeds to the imperial court is beneficial to the country and the people. For Da'an, it is a top priority. As early as last year, the two had discussed it with the Chu family.

They provided potato seeds, and these matters should have been discussed with them, and they agreed.

Lan Li frowned and said, "Of course the sooner the better. I heard that some places in the Central Plains can grow two crops of grain a year. Maybe potatoes can also be grown twice a year."

County Magistrate: "Then I will write a memorial!"

The report about the potato harvest was sent out as quickly as possible the next day.

……

"Master, I saw Beiyang City! It doesn't look like anything special, just ordinary." The coachman looked at the Beiyang city tower with a look of disgust.

It is not even a little bit worse than their Central Plains.

"Let's go in first. What can you see from the tower?"

The man in the carriage said with disdain.

"Oh."

This time their caravan came specifically to purchase goods, not to admire.

Zhou Binglin felt a little nervous. Beiyang was twenty days' journey away from them, which was neither close nor far.

But the delay of 20 days will have some impact on business. I just hope I can really buy fruit wine and local specialties this time.

It seemed ordinary outside the city, but once we entered the city and looked at the bustling market and the people from Beiyang and Central Plains coming and going, the entire caravan was stunned.

Zhou Binglin didn't expect that there were so many people from the Central Plains here.

The more this happened, the more confident he felt, because it meant that the family had not deceived him.

He quickly asked someone to find an inn.

However, almost all the inns were full, and they had no choice but to rent a yard. The cost of living in a yard was not small, ten taels of silver a month.

This is simply raising the price, but there is no other way. The yard has to be snatched up, and if it is not rented quickly, they will not be able to raise the price even if they want.

The caravan moved into the courtyard, and Zhou Binglin took two servants with him and went out, while the rest of the caravan moved around on their own.

Those little kids had told him a lot about Beiyang’s unique foods, and he must try them today.
