Chapter 162 Sweet Potato Harvest
In the following days, Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi worked together on military reform.
They first set about adjusting the training plan and incorporating the systematic training method proposed by Yuan Ying into daily training.
Yuan Ying personally guided the soldiers in strength training. She set an example by demonstrating a series of difficult physical exercises. Encouraged by her, the soldiers gritted their teeth and tried their best. The training ground was full of enthusiasm.
Then, Yuan Ying researched and innovated new tactical strategies. She organized the generals to conduct sand table exercises, simulated various battlefield situations, and encouraged the generals to put forward their own opinions. Regardless of their position, as long as they had a good strategy, it would be adopted, which greatly improved the morale and innovation ability of the entire army.
At the same time, Murong Xuanyi was responsible for promoting the military talent training program. He secretly selected a group of reliable soldiers and carried out professional artillery training.
Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi go in and out together every day, and their days are busy and fulfilling.
As the days passed, it was soon time to harvest sweet potatoes.
Emperor Kangren still maintained the same enthusiasm and diligence as when he planted sweet potatoes. He personally led civil and military officials to the royal farm to participate in this joyful harvest moment.
At the same time, all the farmers in the imperial farm were standing in the sweet potato field with great anticipation, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Kang Ren.
"Your humble servants pay their respects to His Majesty!" The farmers bowed to Emperor Kang Ren, their voices filled with admiration and excitement.
Emperor Kang Ren saw this and waved to the farmers with a smile, "All right, get up. There is no emperor here today. I am just like you, a farmer working in the fields."
At this time, the royal farm was bustling with activity. All the princes came out in droves, wearing cloth clothes and smiling, as they immersed themselves in the joy of the harvest together with the officials.
Emperor Kang Ren held a hoe in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and began to carefully dig sweet potatoes. Soon a huge sweet potato was dug out. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. He sighed: "This is the fruit of hope for our Daxia, hahahaha!"
After digging two sweet potatoes, Emperor Kang Ren seemed a little overwhelmed and his fatigue was evident. At this time, Fuquan hurried forward to support him and helped him sit down on a chair nearby to rest.
"The emperor has ordered that we start digging sweet potatoes now. Twenty people per acre of land. Everyone can form a team and see who digs faster and better. There will be rewards later." Fuquan gave the order in a shrill voice.
Civil and military officials, princes, and farmers took hoes and other farm tools, rushed to the land allocated to them, and began to dig sweet potatoes.
Just because everyone was digging for the first time, quite a few sweet potatoes were damaged.
Emperor Kang Ren was watching from the side and was heartbroken and anxious: "Look carefully before you dig, don't damage the sweet potatoes, they are treasures!"
Seeing everyone busy and confused, Emperor Kang Ren held his forehead with his hand.
He shouted to Yuan Ying, "Yuan Aiqing, go and teach them."
After hearing this, Yuan Ying walked in front of everyone and explained the techniques while digging: "Don't be impatient when digging sweet potatoes. You must first look at the location of the sweet potatoes, and then gently dig up the surrounding soil. This way, the sweet potatoes you dig out will be intact."
Emperor Kang Ren watched Yuan Ying's skilled and capable appearance from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If you were a little less outstanding, you and Lao Wu would really be a perfect match. What a pity...
With Yuan Ying's guidance, everyone gradually mastered the techniques and greatly expanded the digging range, so that they could basically dig out the sweet potatoes without any damage.
With everyone's concerted efforts, ten acres of land were quickly dug up. Seeing the piles of red sweet potatoes in front of them, the civil and military officials couldn't help but breathe faster and were filled with shock.
Many officials began to talk in low voices in groups of three or five. They obviously realized that the weight of this pile of sweet potatoes was not insignificant. Perhaps they could really create an astonishing miracle of producing 40 dan per mu?
Luo Huaian methodically directed the farmers to start weighing the sweet potatoes. The farmers were all enthusiastic and quickly got involved in the weighing work.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue meticulously confirmed the weight of each portion, and recorded it carefully after ensuring it was correct. About half an hour passed.
Luo Huaian came over with a beaming face and reported joyfully, "Your Majesty, the weight of the ten acres of sweet potatoes has been weighed."
"The sweet potato yield per mu of good land is as high as 6,270 kilograms, the yield per mu of medium land is 5,680 kilograms, and the yield per mu of low land is 3,528 kilograms."
After hearing this series of astonishing data, everyone present was shocked and cast incredulous looks.
If we use the conversion standard of one stone equals 120 jin, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu after fertilizing the fertile land reached an astonishing 52 stones. Even if the crops were not grown in the fields, the yield per mu could reach an excellent result of 29 stones.
In that era when the general grain yield per mu was only 4 or 5 dan, the miracle of 52 dan per mu of grain occurred, which is simply a miracle.
Emperor Kangren was delighted and exclaimed loudly: "This is the blessing of God to our dynasty! I have decided to distribute half of these sweet potatoes to the people in the capital to commemorate today's grand event." All the ministers echoed and praised the emperor for his wisdom.
Seeing this, Yuan Ying had an idea. He used local materials, built a fire, and roasted sweet potatoes. For a moment, the air was filled with tempting aroma.
Emperor Kang Ren was attracted by the aroma of sweet potatoes and came over with great interest. He took the roasted sweet potato handed to him by Yuan Ying, peeled off the skin gently, took a bite, and found it soft, sweet, and fragrant. He couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
"This baked sweet potato is truly a delicacy! My dear nobles, don't miss it. Roast it and enjoy it yourself."
Hearing this, everyone followed Yuan Ying's example and roasted sweet potatoes around the stove. They were all impressed by the delicious taste and praised it highly. In an instant, the Royal Farm was filled with laughter and joy. The atmosphere was warm and joyful.
Yuan Ying looked at Emperor Kang Ren and said, "Your Majesty, there are many ways to cook sweet potatoes. In addition to baking, they can also be cooked into soup, steamed, or even made into dried sweet potatoes or sweet potato flour. Whether stewed or served cold, they are smooth and not greasy, and have an excellent taste."
Emperor Kang Ren was very interested, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Oh? There are so many variations. I want to try these different ways of cooking sweet potatoes. Come on, prepare them quickly."
For a moment, the chefs in the royal farm became busy. Following Yuan Ying's instructions, they tried various ways to cook sweet potatoes.
Soon, a sumptuous sweet potato feast was presented to everyone.
