Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 315 Watching the Emperor Planting Sweet Potato Seedlings

"Is it wrong? It's a new crop that produces 300 kilograms per mu."

"It must be wrong. There's nothing special about these seedlings. How can they have such a high yield?"

"It was the Lord of Anping County who found it. She must have made a mistake. Three thousand kilograms is ten times the current rice yield. Could it be a magical food eaten by gods? Otherwise, the yield would not be so high."

"........."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Several people who knew the situation came out, and Minister Li said, "My dear colleagues, the emperor is right, and Princess Anping did not lie to you."

Minister Zhong also said: "Yes, the new farm tools and double-season rice, the Anping County Lord didn't lie to you, right? And the corn planted in this field, have you seen it?"

The two ministers' words silenced all the officials. Yes, what the two ministers said was true. Although the double-season rice had not yet been harvested, it had already been planted. According to the news sent back by the manager of their farm, they had already transplanted the rice seedlings like the Wohushan Farm, and they were growing very well. Using the method of the bishop of Anping County, not a single rice seedling was frozen to death. This double-season rice was probably successful. I had never seen corn before, but it was growing very well. I heard that it had a high yield and a wide range of uses.

Could it be that this sweet potato can really produce more than 3,000 kilograms per mu? Seeing that the third prince had been busy with Anping County Lady, and the emperor could say this, a group of people suddenly realized and looked at Zheng Sisi with shining eyes.

Duke Zheng and his son also stood up. Duke Zheng held his head high and said, "I also have a field of sweet potatoes planted in my house. I don't know how many pounds I can harvest. Oh, I'm looking forward to it!"

Minister Li and Minister Zhong also agreed: "Yes! We are looking forward to it too." Tutor He did not come today, otherwise he would have shown off too.

When everyone heard that something was going on, someone came over and asked, "Master Zheng, can you tell me where your sweet potato seedlings came from?"

Duke Zheng said proudly, "Of course it was sent by my granddaughter."

"Father, let's go and watch the emperor plant sweet potato seedlings." General Zheng San reminded at the right time.

Everyone moved to another position and stood beside the field watching Zheng Sisi demonstrate how to plant sweet potato seedlings.

"Like this, insert the thick end of the sweet potato seedlings into the ground, all in the same direction, and compact the soil, but not too tightly. If it's too tight, it will be difficult for roots to grow. The spacing must be well controlled. If it's too dense or too scattered, the yield will be affected." Zheng Sisi explained.

Emperor Yongshun and the Third Prince were learning how to plant the vines at the edge of the field, while the gardeners were busy in the middle of the field. Zheng Sisi said, "Yes, keep it at this distance, and compact it a little, otherwise the soil will be washed away by the rain, and we need to plant it again, which will delay their growth."

Looking at Emperor Yongshun and the Third Prince, the gardeners were busy in the fields, and Zheng Sisi was checking and guiding them. A few ministers with quick minds also came forward with sweet potato seedlings and planted them according to Zheng Sisi's requirements, and they also looked pretty good.

After planting a circle on the ground, Emperor Yongshun felt a great sense of accomplishment. He patted the mud on his hands, looked at his work, and laughed happily.

When all the reserved land was planted, there were still about twenty sweet potato seedlings left. Emperor Yongshun said, "Such a good thing cannot be wasted. Dig another piece of land to plant the sweet potato seedlings."

So he waved his hand and cleared a corner to plant sweet potato seedlings, leaving several ministers who wanted to get some benefits speechless and could only stare at them stupidly.

The eunuchs brought several buckets of water to wash the hands of the emperor and the ministers. Two ministers came to Zheng Sisi and exchanged pleasantries for a while before asking, "Princess Anping, do you still have these sweet potato seedlings?"

Zheng Sisi wiped her hands, looked around and said, "The first batch is gone. I cut them all and sent them to the farm. There are still some for the second batch, but we need to wait five or six days before we can plant them."

When they heard that there was a second batch, they looked at Zheng Sisi eagerly: "Princess Anping, can you sell me some of the second batch? I don't want more. I just want 100 trees, one tael of silver per tree. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will also buy a hundred trees and plant them in my own house, and learn about farming from the emperor and Princess Anping." Another minister also said, flattering the emperor at the same time.

Zheng Sisi was stunned by their words. Why did they give money? One tael of silver for each seedling. She would make a fortune just by selling sweet potato seedlings! Hahaha, she suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out and said weakly, "My lords, this is not a good idea!"
