Chapter 657 Temptation

The acre of land that was marked out was set up, and a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue stood in person at four corners. Hu Yingjia, who was worried, stood there to monitor, which made Qian Yuan sneer.

It's all this, don't believe it yet?!

Well, in fact, Huang Maoguan and Chen Younian didn’t believe it very much, mainly because they didn’t dare to believe it very much.

Just as the sweet potatoes dug up were put into the bamboo basket, Huang Maoguan personally held the scale and recorded it himself. In order to maintain accuracy, he even deducted the weight of the bamboo basket, and all the soil blocks stained on the sweet potatoes had to be stripped off.

"How many were planted in Pengxi Town in total?" Lu Yipeng asked curiously.

Qian Yuan calculated it in his mind, "Three batches were sent from Nanyang. Pengxi Town first planted twenty acres, and then replanted twenty acres. This piece was replanted later, and the yield per mu may be slightly smaller."

Lu Yipeng shook his head and said, "Pengxi Town is quite generous with such a novel crop, so he is willing to allocate forty acres of land."

Qian Yuan didn't say anything. As early as the previous year, his father and brother sent tomatoes, corn and sunflower seeds, and chose to try planting in Pengxi Town.

In addition, more than ten tribe members of Pengxi Town have joined the Qian family's guard team, and many tribe members have been injured and rescued by Xiaoqi. This is all about love.

Besides, Qian Yuan also promised that the harvest will be owned by farmers by planting properly, and the Qian family will buy it for silver. If the planting is not legal, compensation will be made based on the yield of three stone rice per mu.

Until dusk, Huang Maoguan counted the total number, reviewed it three times before and after, swallowed, "It's about thirteen and a half stones."

Chen Younian smiled and said, "Zhan Cai, Wen Chang said, Your Majesty is not satisfied with twenty stones, so you can fill it with the talent you want!"

"After six and a half minutes of missing... that's not enough!"

Hu Yingjia stared from beginning to end, and even went downstairs to pick up a few sweet potatoes in person... This guy was wondering if he was doing a show, but unfortunately he didn't see any flaws.

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Oranges grow in the south of Huai, and those grow in the north of Huai, are tangerines. This is the same principle. Sweet potatoes produce 20 stones per mu in Nanyang, and the yield after transplantation is slightly reduced."

After a pause, Qian Yuan added: "It may be related to the season. The batch planted first was harvested in mid-September, about 17 or 18 stones. Some old farmers speculated that if they were planted in March and harvested in August, they might have a yield of 20 stones per mu."

Huang Maoguan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "In this way, transplanting the northeast and the northwest areas also requires time trial planting."

"That's of course." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "There is no winter in the South Ocean, no wind and snow. The northeast and northwest are cold and cold... It's naturally very different, but sweet potatoes have also been planted in the cold areas of the West, so it should be fine."

The most important promotion areas for sweet potatoes are the Northeast, Northwest, Huguang, and Southeast.

Qian Yuan and Mao Haifeng discussed the old farmers brought from Nanyang. It is likely that the temperature is not enough. The first batch of sweet potatoes were harvested in mid-September. At that time, Mid-Autumn Festival had passed and it was already late autumn.

That night, everyone had a full sweet potato feast... It was laughed out loud in later generations, but this era is considered a treasure.

Huang Maoguan really has no airs. He followed Qian Yuan himself and watched him wash, cut, steam, cook, stew, and roast...

In addition to steaming sweet potatoes, boiling sweet potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes, there are also sweet potato cakes, sweet potato noodles, sweet potato glutinous rice fruits, sweet potato porridge, and steamed pork with sweet potatoes. Qian Yuan even made a sweet potato that Xiaoqi praised for his praise.

Huang Maoguan smiled and picked up steamed sweet potatoes and put them in his mouth. He felt that they melted in their mouths, and the sweet cotton was delicious, and melted in their mouths. He couldn't help but praise: "It's a great honor to be able to cook in person only after you can show it."

Chen Younian and Lu Yipeng didn't feel anything... They ate too many test items Qian Yuan had torn in the kitchen, and Hu Yingjia sneered, obviously thinking that Huang Maoguan was a bit shameless.

Huang Maoguan was not angry and said with a smile: "Wen Chang once said that outside the Suiyuan, those who have to cook in the capital can only talk about Yu, Gao Xinzheng, and Lu Pingquan."

Chen Younian turned his head and looked at Qian Yuan, adding: "In the southeast, only Jingchuan Duke, Wu Weixi, Qi Yuanjing, and Lord Zhongcheng have such honors."

Qian Yuan laughed and shook his head, "My uncle loves liyuan and personally produces dramas. Qian loves cooking and personally produces dishes. The fun is not humane."

Huang Maoguan nodded, kept his hands in his hands, and after a moment, he said, "Try starting a few more acres tomorrow."

"Don't worry?" Qian Yuan didn't care. "It's okay, and there are still several places in Taizhou and Ningbo that also grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and golden rods... but they have all been harvested, and the yield is not low, at least higher than the rice harvest."

Huang Maoguan frowned and asked, "Can you also replace the grains?"

"It's hard to say, it can be used as a staple food or a vegetable." Qian Yuan thought for a while, "the yield per acre of potato is similar to that of sweet potatoes, and the golden rod is much smaller, and the yield per acre is about six or seven stones."

Huang Maoguan was a little unbelievable. In his opinion, treasures such as sweet potatoes are hard to find in the world. There are actually similar potatoes?

"The taste is pretty good, let's leave it for a few more days and let someone send some potatoes." Qian Yuan scooped up a bowl of sweet potato porridge, "If the investigation is correct, the yield per mu will be more than ten stones, and the trial planting and promotion will be carried out in the north, and Lin Yuan Gong will have to trouble him."

"This is the main job of the Ministry of Revenue." Huang Maoguan agreed with his promise, "It can live the people, and this is a merit. Only by talking about this move can we make our name to future generations!"

"Cough cough." Hu Yingjia said in a yin and yang manner: "This thing is offered by the maritime merchants."

Bai Ri also said that Sweet Potato had nothing to do with him and Qian Yuan turned his eyes, "Qian, who knew the treasure with wise eyes!"

Chen Younian sneered: "Zhancai recruited Wang Zhi, set up a city to trade, and planted sycamore trees to attract the phoenix."

Hu Yingjia blurted out, "It was Hu Ruzhen who recruited Wang Wufeng!"

The room was quiet, and Huang Mao's eyes were lowered. Chen Younian and Lu Yipeng tried their best to hold back their laughter. Qian Yuan looked at Hu Yingjia with a bleak face with a smile.

Tsk tsk, Hu Yingjia is Xu Jie's disciple. He has always regarded the Yan Party member Hu Zongxian as an enemy, but now he is competing for him... It's so funny.

Is this guy stupid?

Seeing Hu Yingjia leave in disappointment, Qian Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, "Mr. Hu is really short of successors."

Seeing the strange eyes that the three people glanced at, Qian Yuan said seriously: "Qian really admires Nanjinweng."

Hu Yingjia is actually very famous in history and is very capable of causing trouble. He impeached Gao Gong twice. If Emperor Jiajing had not happened to die for the first time, he would have been afraid that Gao Gong would be miserable. The second time Gao Gong was expelled from the capital by Xu Jie.

Shen Kun, the former Imperial College Priest, who had met Qian Yuan, also died at the hands of Hu Yingjia. Japanese pirates invaded Huai'an, Shen Kun dispersed all his family and gathered in the village to kill the Japanese. Hu Yingjia impeached him to conspire to rebel, but Shen Kun was imprisoned and died in prison.

Hu Yingjia got out of here, the atmosphere in the house became looser and Qian Yuan even brought someone a jar of rice wine to cheer up.

"As Qian said before, oranges grow in the south of Huai, they are oranges, and those grow in the north of Huai, they are tangerines, sweet potatoes, and potato planting methods, how to breed, when to plant, when to harvest, and what are the differences between north, south, east and west..." Qian Yuan said softly: "You can try planting in various places, ask old farmers, and reorganize them into a book. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to take on this important task?"

Huang Maoguan's eyes lit up, and then waved his hand and said, "Is this thing introduced by Zhan Cai, or is it better not to bother the two masters in one matter."

"Zhan Cai's temperament!" Chen Younian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has said that Zhan Cai is a monkey. He jumped up and down and didn't have a quiet time. He abandoned the Hanlin and went south to attack the Japanese because he couldn't sit still in the Hanlin Academy!"

Lu Yipeng also smiled and said, "Wen Chang has also proposed to His Majesty that thesis lottery will not be able to enter the Hanlin Academy after only thirty years. Such an important task is that Mr. Lin Yuan must not."

Although he knew that both of his friends were helping, Qian Yuan couldn't help but glared at me... A group of friends knew that they would harm me!

Huang Mao stroked his long beard and pondered for a moment, "Zhan Cai is carrying a genius, patrolling Zhejiang and traveling around the world. Then Huang prepares first, and then asks Zhan Cai to finalize the draft?"

"Thank you for your help from Lin Yuan!"

Everyone knows it in their minds that if sweet potatoes and potatoes really produce more than ten stones, they can be promoted to the northeast and northwest. This article... is enough to make Huang Maoguan famous in future generations.
