"What?! Five thousand catties per mu is not enough?!" Zhang Fei roared, "If this happened in our Zhangjiazhuang in the past, someone would say this in front of me."

"Just punch him and let him know what is the truth!"

"It's outrageous!"

Guan Yu slapped him on the head, "Although I agree with you, you should be beaten for your attitude."

"How do you talk to the owner of the manor?"

"Five thousand per mu is not high." Liu Yu shook his head, "We grow spring potatoes. If we cultivate carefully and it is a mature field, the approximate per mu yield... According to the current calculation method, it should be..."

He raised his head and converted it in his mind.

One mu in the Eastern Han Dynasty is equivalent to 0.692 mu in modern times.

The average yield of spring potatoes is 3,500 kilograms per mu.

The ratio of Han Jin to Jin is 2 to 1.

According to the conversion, the ideal yield of spring potatoes in one mu in the Eastern Han Dynasty should be around 9,700 catties.

But now it is only 50%.

The yield is of course average.

"The yield per mu is almost 10,000 catties." Liu Yu said the number after calculation.

Silence.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't even dare to breathe.

The two looked at each other, and Guan Yu found that Zhang Fei's eyes, which were round to begin with, were almost falling to the ground.

Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu's single phoenix eyes, which were always narrowed, were now wide open, and his full beard could be clearly seen.

"Gulp..."

The two swallowed at the same time.

"One... ten thousand catties..."

The huge number seemed to be much louder than Zhang Fei's voice.

The two were shocked on the spot, and their heads were buzzing.

Zhang Fei was reluctant to put down the two sweet potatoes in his hand.

He looked down, his round eyes full of piety, "I decided to find two sweet potatoes and potatoes when I go back, put them in my room, and burn incense and kneel down to worship them every day."

"This food is just like the food from the gods!"

"I agree." Guan Yu nodded, holding the hand of the potato, and exerted a little more force.

"Neither sweet potatoes nor potatoes are suitable for long-term staple food." Liu Yu poured a basin of cold water on the two big men.

"It's okay as a short-term food."

"Moreover, these two crops are more labor-intensive."

"Not suitable for long-term farming."

"That is, pull it out for emergency use now."

"It is a very good food for dealing with famine, with a large yield, which can keep people fed and clothed."

"In the long run, we have to develop other food."

Guan Yu frowned, "There are...better...food?"

Seeing Liu Yu nod, the waves in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hearts that had just calmed down surged again.

It was like the sea in a stormy day.

The madness made the two feel like a small boat, being rocked to the ground without any stability.

[Two thousand acres of land harvested, a total of 10 million Hanjin]

The system broadcast sounded in Liu Yu's mind.

[Get 50 million GDP points]

As the population continued to rise, the harvested GDP also showed an explosive increase.

Liu Yu ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to let 20,000 people load all the grain and bring it back to Tiezhuang for storage.

The excited villagers had never seen such a per-acre yield of grain.

The name of the immortal grain spread rapidly among the crowd.

Whether it was potatoes or sweet potatoes, they were given such names by the villagers.

The harvested grain was requisitioned from all the wheelbarrows in the village and transported three times before it was all transported back to the city of the village.

A full 10,000 trips!

The elderly and children stood at the gate of the village with complicated expressions.

The old people murmured in a low voice, and every sentence was about the yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu.

If they had such divine food when they were young, would they have starved?

Even if there were more people in the family, they would not have starved.

If they secretly cultivated an acre of land, they could harvest 5,000 kilograms in two or three months.

It was simply too much!

In the city, the potatoes and sweet potatoes piled up like mountains made the old people watching around sigh with emotion.

"You have to say that you followed our master, otherwise, when have you ever seen such a scene!"

"That's right! Others came to see this scene, I'm afraid they would bite their tongues off out of fear!"

"Hurry up and shut up, we can't talk nonsense when we go out in the future, and we must not let outsiders know!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The old people made up their minds, and when they returned home, they told everyone not to go out and tell anyone.

The news must be kept secret in the manor.

Never let people from other farms know.

"Yunchang Yide, gather all the people in the village for a meeting." Liu Yu ordered.

"Yes!" The two of them took the young men down to convey the order.

Not long after, all the people gathered together.In the huge square in the newly built city.

This was built by Liu Yu in order to accommodate the newly arrived serfs.

A huge square was left in this city.

It was used for the whole village to gather.

It came in handy at this moment.

Climbing up the 150-foot high platform, Liu Yu raised his hand and pressed it down, and the noise in the whole space immediately disappeared.

You could hear a pin drop.

"Announce three things."

Liu Yu said as loudly as he could.

He pointed to the piles of grain not far away, "I guess you have all heard that the yield of grain per mu is 5,000 kilograms."

"Remember, don't tell anyone outside."

"No one is allowed to discuss this topic after leaving the city gate."

"In addition, if you find someone coming to inquire about the relevant information, keep an eye on them immediately and send someone back to the village to call them."

"Just take those people down."

"The second thing is, starting today, the ration plan will be adjusted. Everyone will eat steamed sweet potatoes or potatoes for every meal, and seafood will still be available."

The villagers licked their lips. They had long wanted to know what the divine food tasted like.

Can't wait for dinner.

"The third thing." Liu Yu continued, "Starting tomorrow, we will launch a new round of land reclamation."

"Except for those over fifty and under ten, as well as the craftsmen working in the ironworks, all of the people in the village will join."

"Strive to open up more wasteland."

"Yes!!!" More than 30,000 people roared in unison, and the huge roar shook the sky, as if they were going to overturn the sky above the city.

"Now, start cooking, and eat from the collective pot this time." With Liu Yu's order.

Every household in Tiezhuang sent people to start cooking in the square.

Steaming things is no problem at all. Women and men are busy, and soon, smoke is curling.

"This divine food smells so good!"

"Yes! I can't stop drooling when I smell it."

The people around them tried to sniff their noses.

The smell in the air made them swallow their saliva violently.

Soon, the rice was steamed.

The villagers took the initiative to line up and took their families to get food.

Although there were many people, they were in good order.

There was no chaos or noise at all.
