Chapter 134 Ying Zheng breaks the defense

The sweet potatoes announced by Su Chen made people from all dynasties excited, and they all wanted to grab them now.

They couldn't wait and just wanted to grab the sweet potatoes as soon as possible.

The sooner they plant sweet potatoes, the sooner they can live a good life.

Especially for ordinary people in various dynasties, sweet potatoes are the food they dream of.

It is easy to grow, has a huge yield, and can be used as a staple food. There is no more powerful crop in the world than sweet potatoes.

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Su Chen couldn't help but feel funny. He was so excited about a sweet potato. If he knew the potato yield per acre, it would be so high!

"The anchor can see that everyone is very satisfied with the sweet potato yield per mu, but sweet potatoes are not the highest yield per mu. The anchor also has a better crop."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hearts of the ancient people from all dynasties were so shaken that their heartbeats skipped half a beat.

The sweet potato with a yield of eighty shi per mu is not the most powerful. Is it possible that the potato with a strange name has a higher yield per mu?
  Countless ancient people suddenly thought of potatoes, and some couldn't believe what the anchor said.

We are extremely lucky to have a crop like sweet potatoes in this world. How could there be potatoes with a higher yield per hectare than sweet potatoes?

Liu Che: Anchor, are you talking about potatoes? Could it be that the yield of potatoes per mu is higher than eighty shi?

Su Chen smiled calmly and nodded lightly under the nervous gazes of all the ancients.

"His Majesty Emperor Wu is right. Compared with sweet potatoes, potatoes are more suitable as a staple food. The key is that the yield per mu is higher."

Hearing the anchor's personal admission, the ancients from various dynasties swallowed in disbelief and felt their mouths were dry.

There is actually a more powerful crop than sweet potatoes, which shocked countless people.

I thought that sweet potatoes were invincible in the world, but I didn't expect that potatoes were more brave than sweet potatoes. It was really incredible.

Ying Zheng: Anchor, please show me what a potato looks like.

Liu Qi: Anchor, are potatoes, like sweet potatoes, also grown in the soil?

Li Longji: I would like to ask the anchor, what is the potato yield per mu?
  Many ancient people urged the anchor to introduce potatoes quickly. Everyone wanted to see what was so magical about potatoes, and they were even more powerful than sweet potatoes.

Still following the old rules, Su Chen found a short video to briefly introduce potatoes to everyone, so that the ancients knew what potatoes looked like.

In the video of just a few seconds, the sprouted potatoes are first cut into small pieces and then buried deep in the soil.

Soon you can see the seedlings breaking out of the ground, growing rapidly, and suddenly becoming luxuriant.

After ripening, it's the harvest season. When you dig out the roots, you can see many potatoes of different sizes hanging under a bunch. Each one is heavy, which is very gratifying.

Ancient people from all dynasties were fascinated by it and wished they could plant these potatoes in their own fields.

Everyone can clearly see that after maturity, there are as few as five or six potatoes pulled out from one plant, and as many as a dozen.

So many potatoes can be harvested from such a small area, so how many potatoes can be harvested from one acre of land!

At this moment, everyone completely believed what the anchor said that the yield per mu of potatoes was indeed higher than that of sweet potatoes.

Everyone was still immersed in the fantasy of potatoes, and Su Chen continued to introduce potatoes.

"Potato cultivation does not have strict soil requirements and is suitable for a variety of soil types. However, soil with deep topsoil, loose structure, and good drainage and ventilation is most suitable."       Potatoes can be used as both a staple food and a vegetable, but be careful. What’s more, if the potatoes sprout, they will be toxic and cannot be eaten.”

"Potatoes should be stored in a ventilated, dry, and cool place. Generally speaking, digging a cellar underground is most suitable for storage."

"The anchor finally talks about the yield per mu that everyone is concerned about. The potatoes sold today are high-yield varieties developed by a team led by professors from Huazhong Agricultural University. They have been tested by the market for many years. They are reliable and reliable. The yield per mu of potatoes is as high as 7000 kilograms. If you plant If so, we can easily produce a hundred stones per mu."

The yield per mu is one hundred shi. When hearing this figure, ancient people from all dynasties blushed with excitement and breathed rapidly.

No one knows what a hundred stones is.

Most of the time in each dynasty, the grain output per mu was a little more than one stone. The output of one hundred stone acres was equivalent to growing one hundred acres of grain from one acre of land.

This number is so scary that just thinking about it makes everyone’s scalp numb.

People in all dynasties have been deeply immersed in the beautiful fantasy brought by potatoes. As ordinary people, no one has a few acres of land.

However, due to tax issues, these few acres of land can only keep the family hungry to death. It is a luxury to have enough to eat every day.

But now the emergence of potatoes has given everyone unlimited room for imagination.

The common people in each dynasty calculated in their minds that if they could grow potatoes at home and pay the taxes, the whole family would be able to have enough to eat from now on, and they would still have three meals a day.

And more importantly, even if you exclude three meals a day, there is still a lot of food left, so you don't have to worry about going hungry from now on.

Thinking of this wonderful future, ancient people from all dynasties were almost crazy with excitement.

Not only the common people of each dynasty, but also the emperors were so shocked that they dared not speak out. They were completely frightened by the potato yield per acre.

Ever since he became the emperor, Ying Zheng has always been very calm and does not show joy in anything.

The incredible yield of potatoes per acre completely frightened him, leaving him stunned on the spot and unable to recover for a long time.

The sweet potato yield of 80 kilo acres had already horrified him. Once the potato yield of 100 kilo acres came out, he completely broke his defenses.

Even if someone said they had found the elixir of immortality, he would not be so shocked.

The main reason was that the potato yield of 100 shi per acre was beyond his imagination, which made him lose control of his mood.

He believed that if all his land in Great Qin was planted with potatoes, he could not imagine how rich and powerful Great Qin would be at that time.

At this moment, there was a voice in his heart telling himself that he must get potatoes, and he must get them at any cost.

Even if he couldn't grab it, he didn't believe that so many people in the entire Da Qin didn't grab it.

Liu Che: If we could grab potatoes with an output of one hundred stone acres, the Han Dynasty would be unimaginably wealthy. Even sending troops to attack the Huns every year would be affordable.

Looking at the bunches of potatoes, he was so greedy that he salivated.

Potatoes are no longer just an ordinary crop, they are completely immortal food, which can allow all the subjects of the Han Dynasty to live a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing.

And more importantly, with potatoes, the Han Dynasty had countless wealth, so he could send troops to fight against the Huns without any scruples, and he no longer had to worry about whether the national treasury could support the cost of the war.
