"Shave sweet potatoes, good..."

Li Chenglu replied casually, but just as soon as he said it, he realized that it was right.

The whole person froze, turned his head quickly, and looked closely at the eldest grandson.

"Slicing sweet potatoes? Xuanba, the sweet potatoes under his farm can't be eaten anymore?"

On the side, Ling Hanghe, Li Xuanyouji and others also looked at the eldest grandson with surprise on their faces.

"Here, is that so?"

The eldest grandson pointed to the basket in Ling Hanghe's hand sideways, and also wanted to hide it.

Li Chenglu was startled, only then did he realize that the basket contained sweet potatoes, and there was no fresh mud still sticking under the sweet potatoes, obviously just dug out of the soil.

"It's so small?"

"One seven...four, that means two nests were dug?"

"The sweet potatoes in that basket are so small, they shouldn't weigh more than seven catties!"

Immediately, Li Xuanyouji and Cheng Zhijie, as well as a group of noble ministers who had only heard the name of the sweet potato but had never seen the real thing, all came down curiously, staring at the basket full of sweet potatoes. The color of astonishment.

"Your Majesty, that's a nest!"

The eldest grandson replied.

"A litter?"

Li Chenglu was surprised.

Li Baoding, Li Xuanyouji and others also had expressions of shock.

"How many sweet potatoes can be harvested from one nest?"

"Go, where is it, do you want to go and have a look later?"

Before that, Li Chenglu said.

Seeing this, Ling Hang sighed silently again.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty how late this time, but why did you come here?"

"Big deal, big deal!"

Li Chenglu waved his hand casually, ignored the eldest grandson, and directly pulled Fang Xuanling to the glass shed.

"These are big things, besides, sweet potatoes are important for small things!"

In front of him, Cheng Zhijie, Li Baoding and the others also had expressions of deep agreement.

We will go to see the sweet potatoes grown in the glass shed in our home every day.It's just that these sweet potato vines are still green, so we also feel that sweet potatoes cannot be eaten by planing.

I thought that after that time, we would meet our eldest grandson digging sweet potatoes, and we would be able to dig out so few sweet potatoes in one litter.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson is helpless.

I had no choice but to follow.

My son is very small, but don't let Li Chenglu dig out all the sweet potatoes in the whole glass shed.

"The vines of those sweet potatoes must still be green?"

Still in this small glass shed, Fang Xuanling led Li Chenglu and others before retreating.

Looking at the green sweet potato vines in the small shed, Li Chenglu, Li Baoding and the others were full of astonishment.

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling picked up my exclusive large steel shovel from the ground, shoveled it twice, and said: "If your Majesty is a scholar, you can't use that shovel to dig a nest of sweet potatoes to have a look.

If His Majesty's Uncle knows how to plan, Cheng Lu can't do it for him! "

"Chenglu knows how to slice sweet potatoes?"

Hearing this, Li Chenglu, Li Baoding and others were shocked again.

"Naturally, the nest of sweet potatoes just now was dug out by Chenglu himself!"

As he said that, Fang Xuanling pointed to Li Chenglu's feet, there were no fresh sweet potatoes in this pile of soil.

Li Chenglu, Ling Hanghe and the others knew at a glance whether Fang Xuanling had lied, and subconsciously praised him.

"Chenglu is really powerful!"

Li Chenglu said again, "That's right, you want to do that nest of sweet potatoes yourself!"

"Give!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling directly handed the steel shovel in his hand to Li Chenglu.

"Aye said, do it yourself, you will have enough food and clothing."

"When your Majesty Uncle digs sweet potatoes, you have to start digging one foot away from the roots of the sweet potatoes, and quickly go back. If you do, you will hurt the sweet potatoes in the soil!"

"Chenglu knows so little!"

Li Chenglu glanced at Fang Xuanling without any surprise, then took the big steel shovel directly, squatted down on the ground, and finished shoveling under Ling Hanghe's guidance.

Around, a group of little Tang nobles looked at the serious but faceless Fang Xuanling, and their expressions gradually changed.

What were we doing when we were Fang Xuanling's age?

Maybe even the enlightenment book has been memorized?

As for King Jin's son-in-law, he couldn't utter the classics, but he spoke clearly and logically, and he didn't even know anything about farming.

At that time, the eldest grandson finally rushed down.

Squeezing back in front of the small glass shed, I saw Li Chenglu holding a steel shovel and shoveling a sweet potato seedling on the guidance of his own son.

My heart hurts again.

The eldest grandson felt distressed for a long time, so Li Chenglu dug out the nest of sweet potatoes.

"Four?"

After counting the sweet potatoes on the ground, Li Chenglu frowned slightly.

"Why aren't there four?"

After speaking, Li Chenglu continued to search in the soil.

"Your Majesty, don't look for it any more, that nest is not four! If you dig it again, it will hurt the nest of sweet potatoes!" The eldest grandson had no choice but to say aloud.

Before hearing this, Li Chenglu also sighed slightly, and put down the shovel in his hand.

On the side, Li Baoding, Ling Hang Youji and the others passed the four sweet potatoes one by one without using their hands, with surprise on their faces.

"Your Majesty, those four sweet potatoes are very small, they must not weigh more than seven catties!"

……

Chapter 649 Sweet Potatoes Can Yield Eleven Stones per Mu!

"Four catties?"

Immediately, all the nobles around who were already full of expectations exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has just counted in detail. There are eight ridges of sweet potatoes in this greenhouse, and there are 35 sweet potatoes planted in each ridge, so there are 280 sweet potatoes."

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had been circling in the glass greenhouse, also came over and reported loudly.

"280 sweet potatoes?"

"The sweet potatoes dug out from these two litters weighed four catties!"

"In this way, this glass greenhouse can produce 120 catties!"

"hiss……"

In an instant, the Minister of Household Affairs calculated the production of sweet potatoes in a glass greenhouse.

"Your Majesty, eleven stones!"

"Eleven stone?"

All the nobles were shocked, looking at the glass shed in front of them, their expressions changed.

Many people have red eyes!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this sweet potato can yield eleven stones per mu, and it is my Tang Xiangrui!"

"Your Majesty, if every family in my Tang Dynasty could grow sweet potatoes, wouldn't every family be able to harvest more than 200 shi of grain?"

"In this way, one year of planting is enough to feed a family for five years..."

"The blessing of the Tang Dynasty, the blessing of the country, the blessing of the common people..."

The more he talked, the more excited the ministers were.

"Xuanba?"

Li Shimin's eyes were also red, although he was already mentally prepared for a good harvest of sweet potatoes.

However, the yield of eleven stones per mu is still not fully mature, so Li Shimin is still very excited.

If the sweet potatoes are fully mature, how much can one acre harvest?

Thirteen stones?Fifteen stone? ...

You know, now that one acre of land in Datang is planted with rice and wheat, and one acre of land is only about two stones at most.

He could already imagine what kind of prosperity it would be if all the people in the Tang Dynasty could grow sweet potatoes?

"Your Majesty, sweet potatoes can only be used as an ordinary food, but they can't be used as a staple food. They still need to be eaten with rice and pasta!"

Li Xuan said.

"Can't it be a staple food?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others immediately calmed down.

Then, they all nodded slowly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can satisfy your hunger!"

Now, as long as you can eat enough, no one will go hungry!

"Your Majesty, potatoes and corn can be eaten as a staple food every day like rice and pasta!"

Li Xuan said again.

"Potatoes and corn?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others lit up instantly.

"Xuanba, where are the potatoes? Can they be harvested?"

"In the glass shed not far from next door!"
