Qin Chao didn't know who Duke Jiang was, but now he knew that after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin could only send Duke Jiang Qu Tutong to Luoyang to take charge of the situation himself, because Luoyang was recovered by Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong had a strong reputation in Luoyang, and the King of Qin could not come to guard Luoyang, so this matter naturally fell on Qu Tutong.

Qin Chao would not refuse such a person who could speak in front of him, not to mention that the people felt pretty good about him.

"Duke Jiang, please listen to something. If Duke Jiang still decides to take away the potatoes, there will be no objection." Qin Chao thought for a while, and handing over the potatoes in this way, it may indeed bring him some honor, but at most it is just a great honor, and it is still a bit difficult to be awarded a title.

Qin Chao didn't want to be a salted fish in Qinhe Village. Since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he would do something, at least he had to make big news, right?

"Although the potato yield is high, someone has only these in his hands. Even if it is handed over to the court, no one in the court can plant it. After the best planting period, the potato will be broken and cannot continue to plant it. Instead of taking the risk of not harvesting the particles, why didn't Jiang Guogong wait for four or five months?

Now that potatoes are unearthed, they can continue to grow in just over a month. After planting, they can be harvested in about three months. These 150 fruits can be divided into about 450 to 600 seedlings. One or two thousand fruits will be produced at that time. At that time, Duke Jiang sent another 100 or two hundred fruits to Chang'an. Even if they are damaged on the way, will there be no grain planting in Luoyang?

If Duke Jiang was willing to wait for three to five years, I would like to guarantee that Duke Jiang could transport the potatoes that were shipped to Chang'an by then. Duke Jiang should not lose his achievements with temporary benefits!"

"Yeah, it's right!" Duke Jiang Guoguo Qu Tutong nodded secretly, and he couldn't help feeling better about Qin Chao.

Even if a refugee could tell such a truth, how could he, as a Duke of the State, know that he was a servant of the Taiwan Strait? Moreover, Qu Tutong also liked Qin Chao more and more, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this guy was reliable.

However, if you don’t take it away, you still have to report this matter to the King of Qin. The yield of four stones per mu is a great achievement. If it can be promoted nationwide, then the Tang Dynasty’s ability to resist disasters will suddenly increase in the year of disasters, and even if it encounters a year of disasters, the people will not be able to eat without food.

"I took away ten of this thing and gave it to the King of Qin. Can the rest be bred with Dalang?" Qu Tutong continued, this time he lowered his requirements.

Qin Chao nodded and it would be okay to take away ten. Anyway, there is no shortage of these ten potatoes for breeding. Qu Tutong is already seventy years old this year and is a noble man of the country. He can claim to be old in front of Qin Chao, a civilian, and Qin Chao has no reason to refuse.

"The Duke of the State can also take it away. There are many ways to eat it. Common ones are boiled directly in water, baked with charcoal ash, and stir-fried with vinegar. If boiled or roasted, chopsticks can be easily pierced. It only takes half a cup of tea to stir-fry. If you want to eat a crispy texture, you will drop vinegar when put into the pot. If you want to eat a soft and soft texture, you can drop vinegar before leaving the pot. You can also remove the skin, cut it into pieces, and stew it in a pot with beef, chicken and other meats, and the taste is indescribable." Qin Chao roughly explained the common recipe for potatoes.

Different methods have different tastes. In comparison, Qin Chao prefers three types: stewed beef, charcoal roasted potatoes and shredded potatoes.

"I really didn't expect that there were so many ways to eat this little potato." Duke Jiang Guoguo Qu Tutong was so scared that he couldn't stop talking about it. He wanted to eat it beautifully in different ways.

There were basically only a few types of food in the Tang Dynasty. Either they were boiled in clean water, and after they were taken out of the pot, they sprinkled with salt and threw it into the pot to cook. Although it tasted good, the price was too high and most people really couldn't afford it.

Another way to eat is porridge, which is more common, and the porridge is mainly salty porridge.

Another type is roasting. The meat is roasted directly on a charcoal fire. Because the seasoning is lacking, the food baked is really not very good, and it is good to fill your hunger.

The last one is cooking. The cooking originated from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and has a history of more than 100 years. However, because the cooking costs too much, this way of eating is currently only popular among the nobles and wealthy people, and ordinary people still find it difficult to enjoy it.

There were only these four ways to eat the potatoes that Qin Chao took out, and there were four different ways to eat them, and they could also be adjusted to a different taste. This is not a wonder that Qu Tutong had never seen the world, but was unheard of in the entire Tang Dynasty history.

"Good, please be content. If you can cultivate enough seedlings next year, I will definitely ensure that Your Majesty will be awarded the title and recommend you to enter the Sinong Temple." Qu Tutong felt that he could not only give blank checks. Although what he promised now was still blank checks, the King of Qin was good, cherished, and valued talents. If Qin Chao could really do those, it would be inevitable that he would be awarded the title and appointed an official.

"Pu She, the villain is confident that he can cultivate enough seedlings to cultivate nationwide within five years, but..." Qin Chao changed his tone, first full of confidence, then his face was full of sorrow.

"But it's okay to say it? As long as I can reach it, everything is easy to say." How could Qu Tutong not understand Qin Chao's little bit? After all, he was a duke. After the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties, he served as a governor, and a general who fought wars. Now he is Duke Jiang, a servant of the platform. Qu Tutong has seen more people than Qin Chao has eaten. Qin Chao is still a little tender at this time.

"The villain is seventeen years old and has not yet become a clan. His family does not know where he is and there is no equal land. This one has no land, no one, and the small one has only these hands and three-part land. It is easy to say within half a year, but in half a year, the excess potatoes will have no land to cultivate." Qin Chao told his situation.

It is not a court rule that middle-aged men cannot equalize the land, but in a narrow town, even after becoming a senior, it is impossible to guarantee full equalization of land. Only in Kuan Township can middle-aged men be equalized.

"Da Lang has any ideas?"

"But I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible." Qin Chao nodded, and as soon as he got up, he couldn't stop him.

"But it's okay."

"Although the yield of potatoes is high, it is a fresh food and can only be stored for half a year. The imperial court only collects rice and millet. If the people are fully engaged in planting potatoes, there will be no rice at home, and millet can be collected.

The villain felt that it would be better to avoid Qinhe Village's responsibility to take classes and ordered all villagers to cooperate with potato breeding. Three years later, Qinhe Village can produce at least 25,000 stones of potatoes per year. Four years later, Gong County can be fully promoted. At that time, a county will produce at least one million stones. Five years later, it can be cultivated in half of Henan Road. At most ten years, it can be promoted nationwide. If potatoes are planted in the weak country, the annual output of the Tang Dynasty will start at least ten thousand stones.

Potatoes are not easy to store for a long time, but potatoes only need three months of growth. People can store new potatoes continuously, which can ensure that people keep food rations at their homes for at least half a year.
