Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Wei Wu had said in person in the court before that the yield per mu of this material was at least 25 dan, and at most could even reach 40 dan.

However, from what we see, the branches and leaves of this crop are so sparse, how can the harvest be very good?

I'm afraid that even if the roots and rhizomes are included, the yield per mu will not even reach 15 dan.

But these officials didn’t know that Wei Wu had specifically instructed the managers before the potatoes were planted.

The branches and vines of potatoes need to be taken care of. If not managed properly, they will grow wildly.

Once the potato vines grow too much, the yield will be reduced, so be sure to cut back the vines that grow too vigorously.

Reduce the amount of nutrients it absorbs so that the roots have enough nutrients to develop fruit.

The reason why officials see that the potato vines and leaves are not very lush is because the managers take care of them frequently.

Interestingly, the Daming Imperial Farm belonged to the royal family, and its daily operations and financial management did not require the approval of the Ministry of Revenue.

So except for the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial farm, other officials were completely unaware of this characteristic of potatoes.

This is why these officials thought that Wei Wu was doomed to fail. Even Li Shanchang laughed in his heart when he saw this scene.

He wanted to use this incident to criticize Wei Wu immediately, but he was a cautious person and his status was a pillar of the country.

He would definitely not criticize Wei Wu himself, but would leave it to others.

In fact, there was no need for Li Shanchang to give a signal at all, as some officials immediately jumped out.

"Your Majesty, Earl Changle once said that this was a fairy seed, and the yield could be as low as 25 dan or as high as 40 dan."

"Now it seems I'm afraid that's an exaggeration. From what I've seen, even if you include the roots and rhizomes, there are less than twenty stone."

"Should we call Lord Changle here and have him check if there's something wrong with the planting method that led to this result?"

This official was cautious and did not directly criticize Wei Wu, but instead pointed out the problem and put it on the table.

Unfortunately, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, his little trick was just like a little boy secretly rewarding himself, thinking that the adults didn't know.

Don't adults know? They just don't want to point it out to the little boy, for fear that he will lose face. (Those who understand will understand)

Therefore, even though Zhu Yuanzhang saw what the official was thinking, he did not point it out directly.

But he was not trying to save the other party's face, but was prepared to speak directly with facts.

First, slap the faces of all those who have the same idea as this official, and then take action against those who jump out.

In fact, we can only say that this official is stupid. He doesn't think about it carefully. Would Mr. Zhu do something he is not sure about?

It must have been checked in advance, and only after confirming that there was no problem would all officials be summoned for verification.

After all, Wei Wu is the person he cares about most, and he is also his son-in-law.

Not to mention that the potato production is indeed here, even if the potato production is not good, he will find ways to turn it into a good one.

So, after the official finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and just glanced at him indifferently.

Then he turned to look at the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial farm.

"Are you sure the immortal seed is mature?"

"Your Majesty, the immortal seeds are mature and can all be harvested today."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask:

"How many seedlings were planted this time? Were there any dead or damaged seeds?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, the eunuch Zhuangtou bowed again and responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the cultivation and sowing of the seedlings, as well as the methods of daily care, are all carried out strictly in accordance with the instructions of Earl Changle."

"I inspect the fields several times a day, and there are no dead or damaged seedlings. Every seedling is very strong."

"It's just because there are not many immortal seeds, only 62. According to Changle Bo's request, we have cultivated 310 sprouts."
