Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

In the blink of an eye, dozens of days have passed!

In early March of the th year of Hongwu, the second batch of potatoes planted years ago was about to be harvested!

After Zhu Yue finished her half-month retreat in the Taoist temple, she did not return to the Han Palace. Instead, she first came to the farmland where potatoes were grown!

Although this batch of potatoes has not yet fully matured, Zhu Querk can also estimate the approximate yield value per mu based on the growth conditions in the potato field!

After inspecting all the fields planted with potatoes, Zhu Querk discovered a problem!

Not all fields planted with potatoes can achieve a yield of thirty shi per mu!

The previous yield of thirty stones per mu was due to the fact that the fields in the Han Palace were very fertile, so the yield was very high!

And many of the farmlands where potatoes are being planted this time are ordinary farmlands that have just been reclaimed or were not very fertile in the first place!

In fields like these, without modern fertilizers for fertilization, the average potato yield per mu is only about sixteen stones!

But even so, the yield of sixteen stones per mu is already very high!

After all, this is the Ming Dynasty!

The average grain yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty was only about two dan during the harvest. The fertile land in the south, coupled with the suitable climate, could barely reach a yield of three to four shi per mu, but that was also very rare!

Therefore, Hanzhong's output of sixteen stones per mu is already very terrifying!

After all, not all fields are very fertile. The reason why the fields in the Han Palace are fertile is because there are servants who pour manure and take care of them all year round!

Without modern fertilizers, it is unrealistic to achieve an average yield of thirty dan from all land!

But potatoes have another advantage, that is, they can be grown three times a year and can be harvested three times a year!

In other words, one can produce forty or fifty dan per mu in a year!

If this number were placed in other regions, it would be absolutely terrifying!

Even in the most fertile Jiangnan region, the annual output of Hanzhong is definitely more than ten times that of Jiangnan!

"Brother Zhu, where do you get such a high yield of potatoes?"

"If the poor Qin Dynasty could have such high-yielding crops, it would definitely become more powerful. How could it lead to the death of the second generation?"

The sighing and unwilling voice of the First Emperor Ying Zheng rang in Zhu Li's mind.

Zhu Yue was speechless instantly after hearing this!

Is the death of Qin II directly related to the grain yield per acre?

There are two main reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty. One is that harsh governance is more fierce than tigers. Ying Zheng relied heavily on legalism to govern the country. He used harsh punishments and high-pressure rule for a long time. This in itself was a drawback!

Another reason is that Ying Zheng himself is too confident!

He still thought about immortality and thought he could live, so he did not establish the crown prince before his death. This led to the possibility of Zhao Gao and Li Si revising the edict and letting Hu Hai take the throne!

Did Ying Zheng simply ignore these two shortcomings?

He was so embarrassed to say it!

"Yes, Brother Zhu, if my Tang Dynasty can have such a high yield of food, then its territory will definitely be doubled again!"

Li Shimin's voice also sounded.

"I can't answer this question for you!"

Zhu Yuexin said that I still have sweet potatoes, a crop with a higher yield than potatoes, that I haven’t taken out yet!

And how could he reveal the origin of these things to others?

Not even the Emperor Soul!

As a time traveler, he will never reveal the secret to anyone!

Hearing what Zhu Yue said, this group of emperor souls suddenly lost their temper. After all, they did not have the courage and strength to demand that Zhu Yue answer their questions!

In any case, Zhu Querk is quite satisfied with the potato yield!

"Brother Zhu, now that you have mastered this kind of high-yield food, coupled with your current military ability, are you so willing to just be a peaceful vassal king?"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help asking at this time.

"I do think so, but now is not the time!"

Zhu Yue said slowly and softly.

The souls of the emperors are confused!

Because Zhu Yue knew what would happen in the Ming Dynasty in the future. He was waiting for the old man to kill all the Huaixi nobles in the court, and to wait for Emperor Jianwen to come to power and cut down the vassalage!

In today's Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, and all those strong generals who are good at fighting are also built in the Ming Dynasty. If there is a real fight, whether Hanzhong can defeat this small number of soldiers and horses is another matter!

Zhu Yue himself is indeed good at fighting, but he is just one person. In today's Ming Dynasty, he is not the only one who is good at fighting!

One thing is that Zhu Yue is still young and he can afford to wait!

After inspecting the situation of Tudou, Zhu Li returned to the Han Palace!

However, as soon as he returned to the Han Palace, he found that the Han Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Red silk and red lanterns were hung everywhere, and big happy words were posted on the doors and windows!

This reminded Zhu Yue of the time when he had just married Mr. Cao!

This……

I have been in seclusion for only half a month, what happened?

"Your Highness, are you out of seclusion?"

Seeing Zhu Yue's return, Mrs. Cao, who was pregnant with her belly, hurriedly greeted her.

Zhu Yue is not only concerned about the growth of potatoes this time, but more importantly, Cao's delivery time is coming soon, within these ten days!

As a husband and father, Zhu Yue naturally wanted to be with his wife and child when the child was born!

Although he likes to practice Taoism, it does not affect his family!

"Is there news from the court?"

At this time, Zhu Yue also reacted and realized that the marriage arranged by the old man must have come to an end!

"Well, the imperial edict from the imperial court came the day after His Highness went into seclusion."

"It is said that His Majesty has arranged a marriage for you, and you are going to marry Li, the legitimate daughter of Mr. Li, the Minister of Civil Affairs, as your concubine!"

There was a faint smile on Mrs. Cao's face, and she didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage grant this time!

"Aren't you angry?"

Seeing Cao's reaction, Zhu Li couldn't help but laugh.

He himself didn't have much reaction to Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage grant. After all, this time he was marrying the daughter of the official minister, which must be good for him!

"How can I be that kind of jealous woman?"

"What's more, this is also His Majesty's will. Your Highness would not dare to disobey it!"

Mr. Cao smiled lightly.

"Even if the old man gave the order, you don't have to be so anxious to start decorating it, right?"

Zhu Yue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as Mr. Cao didn't have any ideas, he wouldn't have to worry anymore!

In ancient times, this was good. It was so normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines!

Zhu Yue felt that she seemed to be thinking too much!

After all, Ms. Cao is also a very traditional woman!

"Why aren't you in a hurry? The team to send off the bride from Yingtian Mansion had already set off more than days ago. When the imperial edict arrived, the team to welcome the bride was already halfway on the way!"

"There are still two days left before we arrive in Hanzhong. If Your Highness doesn't come out of seclusion by then, I will have to find a way to call you out!"

Ms. Cao explained with a wry smile.

"Huh? The old man will not give me the chance to refuse this time!"

Zhu Yue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention!

Although he didn't think of refusing this time, after all, marrying the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs would be really helpful to him!

"There's one more thing. This time, Mrs. Li came with me, as well as my mother-in-law!"

Ms. Cao suddenly changed the subject and said.

Hearing this, Zhu Yue was even more surprised!

His biological mother, Concubine Zhou, is also here?

What kind of operation is this, old man?
