Chapter 118: The Peanut Harvest
The cold wind is howling, and the Chinese New Year is about half a month away, so the weather is particularly cold!
On this day, in the garden of Xianyang Palace, people were crowded with people!
In addition to Fusu, Qin Dada and Xiao Changzi, there are also important civil and military ministers in the court such as Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Meng Yi, Wang Wan, Zhang Han, and Wang Li!
"Is this the greenhouse run by the prince himself? The dishes here are indeed very vibrant!"
Zhisu Neishi looked around in the glass sunroom. The sunroom built is not big, only about half an acre of land.
However, there are all kinds of vegetables grown here, all of which are very good! This makes the face of Zhishu Neishi full of surprise!
As the history of treating millet, agriculture throughout the Qin Dynasty was under his jurisdiction. The saying that this greenhouse could grow vegetables in winter was known to the history of treating millet.
After all, the relevant operation steps have been explained in the newspaper.
However, this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes!
"Yes, it's really amazing to grow so many vegetables in such a cold winter month!" Li Si squatted down and touched the leaves of the vegetable, the green leaves, as if they were in spring and summer.
"Unprecedented! Such a method is indeed a magical art!" Meng Yi nodded and said all kinds of praise were endless.
"In addition, have you noticed that in this greenhouse, it is obviously much warmer than outside! I guess this is the key to the survival of the vegetables inside? It's cold winter outside, but it's warm like spring inside!" Feng Quji also spoke.
All civil and military officials visited this greenhouse with all kinds of praise coming from time to time!
Can you grow vegetables in winter so that you can eat fresh vegetables in winter?
Moreover, to a certain extent, it is also to increase the production of grain across the country, right?
These are all things to celebrate.
Qin Dada looked calm. He came to see the vegetables in the greenhouse every once in a while, so naturally he didn't feel surprised.
However, when the civil and military officials around him praised Fusu with every word and every word, Dad Qin was so happy!
Why specially summoned all civil and military officials to come here to see the vegetables grown in Fusu?
From a father's selfish perspective, in fact, his son has made achievements and as a father, he deliberately let someone take a good look. Isn't this a normal operation?
Listen, these people are rushing to praise their son. How nice these words are?
"Fusu, where is the peanut?"
After waiting for half an hour, everyone was amazed and praised all the things they should be praised, only then did Qin Dada was satisfied and asked Fusu.
Today, the main purpose of summoning all civil and military officials is not to simply look at these vegetables, but to peanuts.
After planting for so many days, the peanuts have almost matured today.
"peanut!?"
When he heard that Qin Dada asked about peanuts, the civil and military officials were all focused on Fusu.
A few days ago, the prince disappeared for a while, and this incident caused a lot of trouble in Xianyang.
Later, after the prince came back, everyone realized that it was because the prince did not bring a few guards and went to Sishui County quietly for a visit.
Moreover, I brought back a crop that claimed to be able to produce thirty or fifty stones per mu!
Now, is it time to harvest?
"Thirty or fifty stones!" The Neishi Zhisu next to him looked a little ready to go!
At present, even the rice in the south only produces more than ten stones per mu.
Does this peanut yield at least twice the amount of rice?
If this is true, if it is planted on a large scale in the future, I don’t know how much food it will increase.
"No, this piece is peanuts!"
After hearing the question from Qin Dada, Fusu pointed to Yilong peanuts planted beside him and said.
Because these peanuts are just seeds cultivated in a few pots, the seeds are very limited, so Fusu just planted such a long land!
Then, Qin Dada and Fusu personally took the initiative to dig out all the peanuts from the Longdi in a stick of incense!
"What a big pill!"
"This grain is at least hundreds of rice!"
"So many, so big!" Seeing the peanuts that Fusu and Qin Dada took out by themselves, the civil and military officials next to him said in surprise.
"Come on, pick all these peanuts and weigh them!" An eunuch brought two basins of hot water to wash his hands for Fusu and Qin Dada. Then Fusu ordered.
The person who had already prepared came immediately and picked all the peanuts.
Then, wash the soil on the peanuts as much as possible, and then fill all the peanuts with a large basket!
"After just one hundred years, this big basket has grown?"
"I don't know how these peanuts taste. I really want to try them!"
"You splashing talent, these peanuts are the seeds cultivated by the prince with great effort. Do you actually want to eat them?"
"I'm just talking, not taking it seriously, not taking it seriously..."
Not to mention the civil and military officials next to him, they were all talking about it. All the peanuts were picked and washed, so they naturally weighed them!
"Let's talk about it, how many of the land is in this Long land?" Taking advantage of the eunuchs next to him weighing carefully, Qin Dada asked the Neishi of Su.
As a historian of the Milk Treatment, you can probably estimate the land with your eyes!
He walked away with his feet, and after silence for a moment, Zhisu Neishi replied: "Report to Your Majesty, this Longdi is about half-like!"
"Half cent? It's only one-twentieth of acre of land? Then, the yield of these peanuts is about 20 times, which is almost the yield per mu, right?" Qin Dada followed by the reply from the Neishi of Zhushu.
"Yes, it's true!" Naishi Zhisu nodded and said.
Next to them, two guards held shoulder poles, lifted the basket up and weighed it carefully.
The civil and military officials next to them also stretched their necks and watched curiously.
"Your Majesty, the result is out!" After reaching the conclusion, a eunuch spoke.
"Oh, tell me!"
It was like a test paper, and it was finally time to reveal the scores, and Da Qin was a little nervous.
Although it can be seen from visual inspection that the amount of these peanuts is quite large, how many are they?
"The result of weighing is two stones and three fights!" the eunuch replied!
"Two stones and three dou? Then, if ten times, it is twenty-three stones? twenty times, it is forty-six stones!?" Hearing this, Qin Dada looked happy!
Forty-six stones per mu?
Hiss, this per mu yield is indeed very high!
"Good seed, this is really a good seed!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the prince will find such good things. From now on, my people of Daqin will be able to eat enough!"
"The Qin Dynasty has been ten thousand years, and Your Majesty has been ten thousand years!"
...
After the accurate yield per mu was calculated, the civil and military officials present shouted!
"Hahaha, OK, OK!"
Chapter completed!
