Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

There is no plastic film, so we can only use oil paper to keep warm and accelerate germination.

Zhu Youjian looked serious:

"You all remember, before germination, ventilation is required for half an hour every three days.

After germination, the ventilation time should be appropriately extended according to the temperature.

Once you are still sweating while wearing single clothes, you have to take off the oil paper and wait until night to cover it again to keep warm..."

Zhu Youjian was afraid that these treasures would be killed by the old farmer, so he gave many instructions.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have all remembered it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all veterans of growing crops. We only need to watch it once and we will know how to serve it!"

……

The old farmers all answered seriously.

Although they did not agree with the emperor's words, they had never heard of such a high yield per mu since ancient times!

The emperor must have been deceived...

However, Zhu Youjian is an extremely noble emperor;

He even took them in and was a good emperor who was kind to their lives...

Not to mention that the yield of this thing is a thousand catties per mu, the emperor let them take care of it.

Even if the yield per mu is ten pounds, they still have to do it!

What's more, the emperor also gave them a reward that was enough to feed their family!

Loyalty, as common people, they have a duty to be loyal to their monarch.

There is no way to repay the great kindness of being alive. I only hope that I can farm the land seriously and repay the monarch a little.

Literally, the emperor paid the reward, and they worked hard, which is the most basic moral requirement in the world...

……

Under the service of the eunuch, Zhu Youjian washed the feces on his hands, then pointed to the nursery and said:

“When the seedlings grow to a foot deep, they can be harvested.

Then cut off the old roots, build new roots appropriately, dig mud in the pond, and apply it to the roots of the seedlings.

It can be inserted into the ridge and transplanted. "

Everyone nodded.

That said, it's not too complicated.

Although transplanting is a rare method, those precious crops usually need to be transplanted.

It wasn’t like this when they were growing peppers!

Seeing that everyone understood, Zhu Youjian felt much more relaxed.

He said: "The size of the field ridges is three feet wide and two ridges.

This needs to be piled up with a shovel in advance.

The best land for planting is hillside, but this thing doesn't pick the land.

It can be planted in fields, sloping dry land, and between rows of fruit trees.

Even if you set a fire, dig out a new piece of wasteland, and tidy up the tree roots, you can plant it that year, and the yield per mu will be higher.

Even if you plant it in waterlogged land - apart from the strange taste of the sweet potatoes that grow out, the results will not be delayed. "

Zhu Youjian had a smile on his lips.

Sweet potatoes, what a damn good thing!

That's it... Some people will be prone to heartburn if they eat it as a staple food all year round.

but!

In this era of scarcity of food and clothing, sweet potatoes are rich in sugar, protein, carotene, vitamins... and high yield...

Compared to its great blessing of survival, is that still a big deal?

Only by surviving can there be hope!

"Your Majesty, so to speak..."

An old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face, like elm bark, his eyes lit up when he heard this.

He immediately answered:

“Your Majesty, let’s put it this way, this is really a good thing!

Not to mention the thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of yield per mu that His Majesty mentioned, even if the yield per mu is ten or eight kilograms, it is still worth growing! "

"Yes!"

Seeing someone taking the initiative, the old farmers keenly discovered the benefits of sweet potatoes.

Just like peppers, if you plant a few in an open space in front of or behind your house, the fruit will be enough to feed your family for a year!

This thing is not picky, it is a treasure!

Even an extra kilogram of grain can save the lives of a family in a critical moment!

Besides, His Majesty said the leaves and tips of this thing are more delicious than cabbage...

Even if His Majesty deceived them - these wild vegetables are very good!

Even in good harvest years, you can still find wild vegetables.

Once there is a famine, let alone wild vegetables, you won’t even be able to find any green in the mountains and plains...

Even the bark was peeled off and eaten!

No matter how bad this thing is, it's still more delicious than tree bark or Guanyin soil...

Along with Zhu Youjian's explanation, the confused eyes of the people gradually became brighter.

……

“As for the method of transplanting sweet potato seedlings, just like planting radish seedlings and cabbage seedlings, just dig a hole and insert them.

By the way, when transplanting, water the appropriate amount according to the moisture content.

This is an early sweet potato, mainly used as mother seedlings. "

Zhu Youjian said with a smile:

"This thing has a very strong vitality. As long as the sweet potato seedling survives, it can sprout branches again even if all the vines are cut off."

The biggest function of planting early sweet potatoes in a blank field is to cut off the vines and use them as mothers to insert late sweet potato seedlings.

The people listened carefully.

It turns out that the aloof emperor is not a foolish emperor who is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains.

The people present were all old farmers who had been working on the land all their lives. As the saying goes, an expert can tell if there is something there as soon as he reaches out.

Although Zhu Youjian's posture of playing with sweet potatoes seemed a little incompetent, judging from his technique, it was not something he learned in a hurry.

……

Zhu Youjian continued to explain:

“As long as the sweet potatoes don’t get burned, they can be transplanted in about half a month.

After the wheat is harvested, threshed and dried, the early sweet potato seedlings we plant will grow to be several feet long.

At that time, the vines can be cut and late sweet potatoes can be planted in the fields behind the wheat stubble. "

"Moreover, this nursery can continue to be watered. By then, the second batch of sweet potato seedlings will be harvested, and even the third and fourth batches can be planted..."

It’s never too late to plant sweet potatoes.

Even if it is delayed for a month, the sweet potatoes can still be harvested.

This thing will not stop growing until after frost. Then before it snows, just dig out the sweet potatoes and put them in the cellar to keep them warm.

Of course, it can also be cut into thin slices, dried and stored.

That's called dried sweet potato.

A year’s supply of sweet potatoes is half a year’s supply!

Zhu Youjian sighed with emotion.

He even remembered that there were people who had sweet potatoes every year.

Sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, and sweet potato noodles, the common people live a difficult life relying on these inconspicuous little things...

It was not until the spring breeze after the 80s that it became popular to work in factories to make money, and people gradually lived a good life with rice, face and meat...

Zhu Youjian clenched his fists.

The group of hard-working people in front of him will be the first generation to suffer the most hardship among the four generations in his plan to achieve peace.

They will follow their own baton and dedicate their lives to work hard so that future generations can lie down...

……

“After the sweet potato seedlings cover the ridges of the field, the vines need to be plowed every half month to lift up the aerial root vines rooted in the ground.

Otherwise, small sweet potatoes will grow in these areas, reducing yields. "
