For dinner, because we didn’t know if Feng Lan was the kind of Taoist who couldn’t eat meat, the vegetables and meat were kept separate. The vegetable leaves were the best tender cores, and the meat was the local pork that the farmers thought was the best, and it was plump.

Even the rice given to Feng Lan was clean, new rice without any rice husks or stones.

The others ate brown rice mixed with husks, half of which was mixed with other grains. Even so, the whole family at the table ate it with gusto.

Feng Lan sighed. Throughout the day, she had learned from the conditions in the fields and the villagers' oral accounts that the Great Yan Dynasty did not have the three high-yield crops of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

In a village where life is relatively good and where crops can be harvested three times a year, the yield per mu of their land fluctuates around two dan. Sometimes, with good tending and a favorable blessing from God, the yield can reach three dan! That would be a bumper year.

Because the unit of one shi was different in different dynasties, Feng Lan specifically asked what one shi was here. After the villagers' enthusiastic explanation, he learned that it was equal to about two hundred jin.

That is to say, the best yield per mu in the land fluctuates between 400 and 500 jin, and this is due to the geographical conditions here. If it were in other places where only one crop is harvested per year, without such good sunshine and fields, the yield per mu would be even lower.

Among the crops Feng Lan brought out, the corn with the lowest yield per mu was 700 kilograms, or about 1400 jin. If it was well taken care of, the yield per mu would increase by dozens or hundreds of jin.

The output is more than twice that of all current crops, not to mention the 2000 to 5000 kilograms of potatoes and 3000 to 10000 kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu.

Of course, these three are dryland crops and have other shortcomings, but as long as these three crops are taken out and promoted, they will be enough to increase the food level of the Dayan Dynasty several times.

As for the status of food in a country, any emperor with a little bit of common sense would know what this means.

Feng Lan ate the food prepared enthusiastically by the villagers. The tender vegetable hearts had a light sweetness, which was the original taste of the vegetables. This method of eating only the heart would be impossible under normal circumstances and was extremely luxurious, but because of Feng Lan, everyone did it without hesitation today.

The rice is also very fragrant and soft in texture, and it has a sweet starchy taste when chewed in the mouth. This meal must have been provided by more than just Aunt Zhang's family. It is a simple meal, but it tastes great.

Feng Lan finished a bowl of white rice under everyone's nervous and expectant eyes, eating only a little meat. Seeing the disappointed looks of everyone at the table, she had to explain, "Although I don't have any dietary restrictions, I prefer to eat vegetarian food."

Everyone believed it reluctantly.

Feng Lan sighed.

But it was difficult for her to ask the emperor for a huge sum of money because of these simple farmers.

Chapter 92 [Feudal Dynasty] 10

Feng Lan stayed in the village for a few more days, and after solving the problems for the villagers, he left with everyone's reluctant farewell.

Next, she will start the operation.

How can I leave a deep and transcendent impression on Lord Liu?

Feng Lan is temporarily staying in the suburbs. She took off the [clown mask] and has been wearing it these days. Due to the side effects of the prop, she seems to hear the clown's laughter in her ears recently, and her face has become distorted.

I can't wear this mask for at least the next three or four days.

Taking this opportunity, Feng Lan frantically looked for a suitable location near Rongcheng, and finally chose a large lake not far from Rongcheng.

The lake is clear and surrounded by green mountains. After the rain, a thin layer of white mist will cover the green mountains. The green mountains are lush, the water waves are full of emotion, and the occasional big birds flying over the water are dotted. It is a perfect scene for Feng Lan to show off.
