Chapter 172 What reward do you want

"Yes, it's exactly this thing!"

Li Chen was happy about his appearance.

At this time, the grain output of the Qin Empire was only two stones per mu of grain, which was calculated to be no more than 300 kilograms of grain.

It can be said that it is quite shabby.

But there is no way. Before fertilizer and irrigation technology achieves great development, such output is basically the limit.

Throughout the feudal period, the grain output per mu of land was basically not fluctuating and changing. It was entirely due to manpower to plow the fields, and the seeds were of varying quality. Basically, they could only rely on God's reward for food.

"This product is called sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, which can replace grain as the main food. It has a great effect. It can be washed and peeled and eaten directly, or cooked and eaten. It can also be dried and stored for a long time. If it is really not possible, it can be changed and processed into a variety of foods after grinding into powder."

Li Chen took over this small cloth bag, a small cloth bag, but it was the key to improving the lifelines of the people in the Qin Empire.

"The most important thing is that once this thing is planted and taken care of properly, there will be as few as three or four fruits and as many as six or seven under a plant. The yield per mu of land can easily exceed 500 kilograms, almost more than twice that of barley corn."

A very excited light flashed in Li Chen's eyes and said to Liu Sichun: "Now, do you know why I am so anxious and excited?"

Liu Sichun's pretty face was full of shock, and she exclaimed: "Seriously!?"

As a businessman, Liu Sichun's sense of smell is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

She knew very well that if what Li Chen said was true, then this thing could almost set off a revolution.

The opportunities contained in it made her breathing involuntarily.

But then, Liu Sichun realized that something was wrong.

"If it was really so good, why did the people in Zhejiang and Fujian have long been exposed to it but they didn't plant it?"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "This thing likes warmth, fears cold and is not resistant to cold. In Zhejiang and Fujian, unless there are a few areas, with high mountains and low plains, the wind is too strong and the environment is wet and cold, so it is not suitable for its growth. If it is to be planted in Zhejiang and Fujian, it must be carefully selected after at least three generations of cultivation."

"But north of the Yellow River, it is its natural breeding ground, and it must be planted on a large scale."

Liu Sichun held back the thumping heart. She stared at the inconspicuous sweet potatoes on the cloth bag and said, "This thing is not common. If your highness needs it, the civilian girl will immediately ask someone to collect all the sweet potatoes that can be collected for your highness to use."

Li Chen said with relief: "Okay, start collecting immediately. The palace will set a piece of fertile land in the Huangjia Forest Farm in the future and find a special person to plant it. The harvest will be seen in less than a few months. At that time, great things will be accomplished!"

Liu Sichun said in confusion: "Didn't your highness say that it likes warmth and is afraid of cold? How can it be planted if the cold land is frozen today?"

Li Chen chuckled and said, "There is a technology called a greenhouse that can plant spring and summer fruits in autumn and winter. It is amazing. When this palace promotes and opens, it will not be a strange thing to eat watermelon in this cold winter."

"Is there such a magical thing in the world?"

Liu Sichun was filled with light, and she asked curiously: "How did Your Highness know this?"

"It's just what I see in the book."

Li Chen waved his hand and found an excuse to send it away.

"What reward do you want for this matter?"

Liu Sichun pursed her lips and smiled, Yingying said, "The people of the people are honored to be able to do something for His Highness and dare not seek rewards."
