Chapter 132 Three thousand catties per mu

As for the vegetable seeds and fruit seeds mentioned by the anchor, although ancient people from various dynasties were interested in them, they were far inferior to staple food seeds.

After all, everyone can still distinguish clearly what is light and what is serious.

Nowadays, people in many dynasties do not have enough to eat. Of course, the first thing everyone considers is the staple food seeds.

Staple food seeds are for filling the stomach, while vegetable seeds and fruit seeds are more for entertainment.

But for some dynasties where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, it was important to have enough food, but it was equally important to be able to eat good fruits, vegetables and seeds.

Ying Zheng: Anchor, what is the yield per mu of rice?
  Liu Che: Anchor, what are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes? Why have I never heard of them?
  Li Shimin: What is cotton? It sounds like a flower plant. What is its function?
  Zhao Zhen: My Song Dynasty was prosperous and wealthy, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Staple food seeds were very important, but I would also like to know what the seeds of hundreds of fruits, vegetables and fruits are.

Chongzhen: Anchor, what is the yield per mu of these staple food seeds? Can they save our Ming Dynasty?

Seeing that there were many various questions in the live broadcast room, most of which were concerned about the yield per mu of staple food seeds, Su Chen introduced them one by one in a leisurely manner.

"The anchor will first introduce to you today's rice seeds. Famous No. 1000 was developed by scientists from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It has a series of advantages such as high rice quality, high yield, lodging resistance, disease resistance, and high temperature resistance. What everyone is most concerned about is The yield per mu is as high as kilograms.”

"The anchor will tell you what the yield of 1000 kilograms per mu is. The conversion units of each dynasty are different. Taking an average, one hundred and twenty kilograms is equal to one stone, which means that 1000 kilograms is equal to about sixteen stones."

"However, the anchor would like to explain in advance that if the yield per mu of Mingyou No. 1 is to be as high as sixteen stones, various chemical fertilizers need to be applied. It is impossible to produce chemical fertilizers under ancient conditions, so the anchor estimates that if you plant it, one acre of land can It’s like harvesting ten stones.”

Although the famous No. 1 rice is not as high-yielding as hybrid rice, it still shocked countless ancient people.

Everyone is very clear about what the yield of ten stones per mu means.

Our current rice yield per mu is only one or two stones, which means that if we plant Anchor's famous No. 1 rice, the yield per mu can be increased by at least five times.

This result has exceeded many people's expectations, making countless ancient people eager to give it a try, thinking that they would rush to buy it later.

Ying Zheng: Rice seeds with a yield of ten stones per mu are exactly what Great Qin needs most.

Liu Che: With Mingyou No. 1, I can’t even imagine how easy the lives of ordinary people will be.

Li Shimin: Dear subjects, please listen carefully. You must rush to buy it as soon as possible. With the famous No. 1 rice, the Tang Dynasty can achieve prosperity one day earlier, and the people can live a good life one day earlier.

Zhao Xu: Bless me, I can grab it. With the famous No. 1 rice seed, the people of the Song Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment from now on.

The common people of all dynasties were particularly excited when they heard this, their eyes full of desire, eager to grab rice seeds with an output of ten shi per mu.

They have been dealing with the land all their lives and have been planting rice for countless years. They have never seen what it is like to produce rice with a yield of ten shi per mu.

Many ordinary people take out their half-life savings at home and try their best to grab it no matter what. If they grab it, they will make a lot of money.

"The wheat brought to you by the anchor was also developed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The variety is Fengdemai No. 20. This is a brand-new variety with good adaptability, strong lodging resistance, high yield, and great potential for increasing yield. The average mu The yield exceeds 1000 kilograms, and the highest yield per mu is 1100 kilograms."

"We have the same problem with wheat. Without chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu we grow is about ten stones." After hearing this, everyone was shocked to learn that another high-yielding grain variety with a yield of 1000 kilograms per mu was discovered.

Ancient people from various dynasties only felt that it was a little unreal. They thought that a rice yield of 1000 kilograms per mu was the limit. Unexpectedly, there was also high-yield wheat with a yield of 1000 kilograms per mu.

Ying Zheng silently made a calculation in his mind. If he could grab the famous No. 20 rice and Fengdemai No. wheat, then there would be no problem for their Great Qin's national power to increase tenfold.

At that time, why did he need to build the Great Wall to resist the Huns and directly lead an army of millions to crush the Huns.

It took many ancients a long time to calm down, and then they thought that the yield per mu of rice and wheat was so high, so what was the yield per mu of the remaining three staple foods?
  "Next, the anchor will introduce corn to everyone. In order to make it more intuitive, the anchor will show you a short video of corn."

Su Chen then picked up the tablet next to him and found the corn video that he had already collected. In less than ten seconds, everyone had a clear impression of corn.

The ancients from each dynasty cheered up one by one to see what kind of crop the corn was highly recommended by the anchor.

In the video, a farmer plants corn seeds in a field.

As time passed quickly, the corn seeds took root and sprouted, growing rapidly and reaching the height of an adult in the blink of an eye.

Then in the blink of an eye, the plants sprouted corn bags.

The next moment, the corn grew up and matured, and its coat broke open, revealing golden corn strands.

Although the video only lasts a few seconds, it shows the entire process of corn from a seed to flowering and bearing fruit, allowing ancient people from all dynasties to clearly see it.

Ying Zheng: Is this corn? It feels like ears of rice, but they are much larger than ears of rice.

Li Shimin: Look at how densely packed the corn plants are. The yield per acre of land should be quite a lot, probably higher than that of high-yielding rice.

"The requirements for planting corn are much lower than those of rice and wheat. It can be grown on various types of soil. It does not necessarily have to be fertile land. It can be grown on any hillside or gravel land, but it is best grown on fertile soil rich in humus. middle."

"The first time corn was introduced to China was during the Zhu Houzhao period of the Ming Dynasty, but the corn was not improved at that time, resulting in very low yields. The corn sold by the anchor today is an excellent variety improved by scientists, with a yield per mu of as high as 1500 kilograms."

"Corn doesn't have high demand for chemical fertilizers. If people buy it and plant it at home, the yield per mu can reach 20 dan."

The yield of twenty stone acres of corn shocked the jaws of countless ancient people and left everyone dumbfounded.

Corn is a staple food and can fill the stomach. More importantly, there is no land requirement for planting, and it can be grown in any wasteland.

And what’s even more outrageous is that in such a planting environment, it can actually produce twenty dan per mu.

This corn is a better staple food than high-yielding rice and wheat, and it has firmly occupied the minds of ancient people from all dynasties.

At this moment, the ancients from all dynasties had only one idea: high-yielding rice and high-yielding wheat do not need to be snatched, but corn must be grabbed.
