Chapter 465 China has been suffering and famine for a long time

Whether Li Keshou deliberately showed it to Li Chen, or Li Keshou did stay in the sweet potato test field day and night, as long as the sweet potato test was successful, Li Chen would be satisfied with Li Keshou's performance.

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Li Chen, with the cautious Li Keshou, and Zheng Baorong, who was still full of doubts but vaguely noticed that something important was about to happen, got into the simple greenhouse.

Here, more than a dozen farmers are taking good care of sweet potatoes.

Compared with the sparse and pitiful appearance when planted before, the greenhouse is lush and green sweet potato leaves are all full of green.

Li Chen was so happy when he saw this.

That's right, it's exactly the same as the sweet potatoes he saw in the countryside and fields in his previous life.

"Your Highness, these sweet potatoes are already ripe."

Li Keshou said excitedly: "After our measurements, there are at least four or five fruits under each sweet potato, and there are eight or nine or more, and each fruit has an adult fist, with amazing output, Your Highness!"

Li Chen felt even more happy when he heard this. He squatted down and pulled out a sweet potato directly from the pit.

When I opened the soil, a huge and attractive sweet potato was hanging on my head. Although it was covered with soil, it looked gray and dirty, but in Li Chen's eyes, it was even more eye-catching than gold.

"Get a knife."

As soon as Li Chen reached out, someone immediately gave him a dagger and cut off a sweet potato. In sharp contrast to the gray and black soil, the snow-white flesh was the snow-white flesh. Li Chen didn't bother to be dirty and took a bite.

It tastes sweet because it is completely artificial and does not have any harm from later generations of fertilizers, pesticides, etc., and the taste is much better than the sweet potatoes that Li Chen had eaten in later generations.

"Not bad, really good!"

Li Chen laughed loudly, threw his other half of the sweet potato to Zheng Baorong, and said, "Try it."

Zheng Baorong was confused and caught off guard and took the half of the sweet potato.

Even His Royal Highness had eaten his throne, and he did not dare to think that the soil outside was unclean. He immediately thanked him and took a careful bite.

To be honest, sweet potatoes taste naturally worse than fruits, but the problem lies in their yield.

The heavy sweet potatoes in my hand are just one of the most common ones.

The land in front of me is not big, but how amazing would it be if every sweet potato plant had such a yield?

Zheng Baorong thought about it carefully and felt his scalp numb.

"This is the first crop to be promoted in the capital and Zhili Prefecture, sweet potato."

Li Chen officially solved the puzzle and said: "Sweet potatoes can be planted for two seasons a year, and the season is better. It can be harvested three times. The yield per mu of land is seven or eight times that of wheat!"

"And this product can be eaten raw, roasted, cooked, and grinded into powder, and made into vermicelli through drying and other processes. It is completely a substitute for wheat."

Pointing at the sweet potatoes all over the ground, Li Chen said to Zheng Baorong: "This thing is the top priority in your tenure. When the spring plowing begins, at least half of the fields under the capital will have to be planted with this thing."

Zheng Baorong widened his eyes, feeling frightened and his mouth was dry.

He completely realized what kind of treasures were in front of him!

China has been suffering and famine for thousands of years!

In history, many times have changed children and eaten, hunger and dynasty overturned, all because of famine! Because the people have no food, they can't survive!

But the thing in front of you, not to mention radical cure, is a treasure that can greatly alleviate food problems.

And this treasure is to be promoted on a large scale in my hands for the first time!?

With a flash, Zheng Baorong felt a stream of passionate blood reaching the sky spirit cover. With excitement, his nose felt hot and bright red nosebleed.
