Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"You just said that there were 310 potato seedlings planted on this acre of land, but they only took up one-tenth of the acre."

"One potato seedling can yield two kilograms of harvest, so the harvest from one acre of land is about six thousand kilograms, right?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, the eunuch Zhuangtou did not hesitate and immediately lowered his head and replied:

"If nothing goes wrong, the yield per mu of land will definitely exceed 6,000 kilograms."

After the eunuch Zhuangtou finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, a very happy laugh, and then waved his hand.

"Weigh, keep weighing! Weigh all the potato sprouts and record them accurately. Not a single cent can be wrong!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away!"

The eunuch Zhuangtou responded, and then immediately took his men to work in the fields.

Because there was no shortage of manpower, all the potatoes were weighed quickly and piled in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the officials.

"Your Majesty, I have carefully weighed the potatoes. Three hundred and ten potato plants have yielded a total of six hundred and forty-three catties, six ounces, and four qian of potatoes."

"Just as you calculated, if we calculate the yield per mu, one mu of land can produce about 6,500 kilograms, which is equivalent to 54 dan per mu!"

The yield per mu is 54 shi!

Although all the officials had already calculated it in their minds, they still couldn't help but gasp when they heard the result.

Wei Wu originally said that the maximum output was 41 shi, but the actual output was 13 shi more than what he said.

You have to know that this is just the output of one acre of land!

If this treasure is promoted on a large scale in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of food!

In fact, if Wei Wu were here, even he would be surprised by the output.

Even in later times, achieving a yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu requires land, professional fertilizers and scientific planting methods.

But this is the Ming Dynasty!

Although the land of the imperial farm is fertile and can be said to be the best farmland in the entire capital, the fertilizer gap is too large.

Even if there is someone taking care of it every day, such an exaggerated output would not be possible.

But he himself doesn't know much about planting, so I'm afraid he can only attribute it to the variety of potatoes.

After all, these potatoes were sent by the system, and no one knows what kind they are or where they were sent from.

Maybe it's the latest super-high-yield variety bred in a laboratory.

It’s a pity that Wei Wu was not here, and he didn’t know that the potatoes he took out had such a terrifying yield.

Otherwise, not only would all the officials be frightened, but his expression would probably not be much better either.

Even Wei Wu was like this, let alone others, such as Li Shanchang who remained silent.

After hearing about the potato yield, he felt very complicated.

First of all, I was glad that I didn’t speak up or signal others to take the lead, otherwise it would only hurt my own people.

Secondly, as a pillar of the country, he was of course very happy that the Ming Dynasty could obtain such an immortal seed.

Having no shortage of food means that the national strength will become stronger. The stronger the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the more valuable this official will be.

But the problem is that this immortal seed was taken out by Wei Wu, and he has a grudge against Wei Wu.

Although the two of them were not mortal enemies, they could not see eye to eye.

He was happy about the country's strong power, but he was not happy about Wei Wu's great achievements. It was such a contradiction.

Compared with Li Shanchang, the official who jumped out to criticize Wei Wu had much simpler emotions.

Just one word, regret!

Now, he deeply regretted why he spoke so much. No one else said anything, so why should he speak out?

Now that he had been severely slapped in the face by the result, he did not know whether the emperor would remember it.

In fact, this official was thinking too much. Wei Wu was the apple of Zhu Yuanzhang's eye and the treasure in his palm!
