"Mom, are you so big?"

"Hey, don't you think this one weighs three to four pounds?"

"These sweet potatoes are really good!" Bai Buyi burst out in his native dialect.

Everyone's eyes shone brightly. Behind this big sweet potato, there were a few smaller sweet potatoes.

Li Yuan was so excited that he put down his hoe and used his hands to pull the soil from the surface of the sweet potato.

"Heavy, too heavy!"

"Quick, weigh in!"

Gongsun Wuji had already held the scale in his hand. There were five sweet potatoes in total. Qin Mo gave a thumbs up: "Old man, that's right. I just dug out a good harvest!"

Li Yuan smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face came together, "Haha, what a bumper harvest!"

Soon, the weight came out, and Gongsun Wuji said in disbelief: "Five, five pounds?"

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he said: "Someone, please help me see if it is five pounds!"

Chai Rong came over and took a look, "It's really five pounds!"

At this time, everyone was shocked and speechless.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Yuan was extremely happy, "Come on, dig!"

Everyone was extremely excited because they were witnessing a miracle, a possibility that could bring Daqian to the top.

This time, even Qin Chang and Brother Feng went to the ground.

It is said to be auspicious joy.

Qin Mo didn't know whether it was auspicious or not, but it was natural for children to play with mud, especially Qin Chang, who pinched a clod of soil and threw it at Qin Mo's head.

"How dare you hit me with something that goes against Tiangang?" Qin Mo was furious.

But before he could get angry, Gao Yao took the child away.

Several furry children were crawling around in the ground. Li Yuan laughed loudly, "The children are rolling on the grain. I have dreamed about it all my life, but I never dared to have such a sweet dream!"

With that said, he stopped Qin Mo and said, "Let these babies crawl. After they crawl, there will be another bumper harvest next year!"

At this time, Huo Lin'er ran over, grabbed Li Yuan's beard with his dirty little hands, and pulled hard, causing Li Yuan to tremble in pain.

The little guy was still giggling, stammering, and said in a milky voice: "Emperor, Emperor Taizu!"

Looking at the little guy's innocent eyes, Li Yuan was not angry, "Yu Shu, take the child away!"

Li Yushu suppressed a laugh, looked at the dirty mud on Li Yuan's chin, and gently patted the child's buttocks, "You brat, you've soiled your Emperor Taizu's chin."

"Why are you beating your child?" Li Yuan frowned, "I would like to know if you want to beat your child less in the future. What does he know at such a young age?"

Li Yushu stuck out her tongue and took the child away.

"Old man, you are not teaching your children. If they are too pampered, they will be overturned sooner or later!" Qin Mo said.

"Don't I love you? Are you upset?" Li Yuan killed Qin Mo with just one sentence.

"Old man, I am an adult, they are stupid kids..."

"Mao children know very much? I think you want to hit a child just now? You will bullish the child in front of the grandfather next time, watch the grandfather and don't beat you!" Although Li Yuan hurts Qin Mo, he has to be almost in front of the little guy. .

"Okay, okay, okay, I don't care, okay!" Qin Mo sighed, God's way is reincarnation, no one will be spared!

Soon, the output of the four acres of sweet potato field was weighed out, totaling 13,236 kilograms!

This number shocked everyone present.

The yield per mu is three thousand kilograms, which is higher than the yield of potatoes and eggs.

Li Yuan was extremely excited, "It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Qin Mo said: "The yield per mu is still close. After all, the sweet potatoes are not detoxified. Otherwise, with such fertile land as the plantation, the yield per mu would not be a problem!"

"Captain, three thousand kilograms per mu is not enough?" Li Jiange almost choked to death on his saliva.

"It's not bad, it barely meets my expectation." Qin Mo said: "This sweet potato has its own virus. If it is not detoxified, the yield will be reduced in the next few generations. Plant it first and send it to Qinzhuang.

Let them study detoxification."

"According to what you said, these sweet potatoes are poisonous and cannot be eaten?" Gongsun Wuji grasped the key point.

"The poisonous thing is cassava, not sweet potato. Even if cassava is peeled and cooked thoroughly, it can be safely used." Qin Mo explained patiently: "Just like some fruit trees need pollination to bear fruit, this sweet potato does not need pollination.

So assuming that there will be problems in the first generation, this problem will continue to the next generation, and it will slowly degrade and reduce production.

Therefore, after detoxification and restoring its original growth characteristics, the yield per mu can be increased by half or even 80%.

In other words, the yield per mu is six thousand catties, or even higher!"

hiss!

Everyone present took a breath.

The yield per mu is six thousand catties?

One acre of land can feed a family of four?

"Jingyun, please don't joke. I'm too old to bear such jokes!" Li Yuan said, holding Qin Mo's hand.

"Old man, when have you ever seen me joking about such a big thing? Let alone six thousand catties. In some places, seven or eight thousand catties are possible!"

Li Yuan's blood pressure became a little high when he was excited, "Please slow down!"

Three thousand catties is beyond Li Yuan's knowledge. What is the concept of seven or eight thousand catties?

Enough for a family of five to last a year and a half!

However, Qin Mo said that sweet potatoes cannot be used as a staple food. If eaten every day, they are prone to diarrhea, farts, constipation and so on.

"Qin Mo, then hurry up and get rid of the poison!" Gongsun Wuji said.

"Is it possible to detoxify me if I want to? This has to be tested!" Why Qin Mo knows these professional terms is because in his previous life, his hometown was a sweet potato breeding base.

In the most spicy province, I was never hungry even during the most difficult times, just because of the sweet potato.

His grandmother also said before that people from coastal areas used to come to work there.

Moreover, the production of sweet potatoes only increased later. Some people say that the country’s population of 400 million was created by sweet potatoes. This is pure nonsense.

Qin Mo studied history very well. This thing never left the coastal areas back then.

At the peak of prosperity, the annual tax revenue from sweet potatoes was only 140,000 dan, accounting for only 4% of the staple food.

Where did the sweet potato boom come from?

Just the matter of detoxification, it was destined that sweet potatoes would not become a high-yielding mainstream crop at that time.

And at that time, people still relied on rice and noodles as their main food, and looked down upon sweet potatoes.

Think about it, is it possible to feed hundreds of millions of people with a piece of land?

The most important thing is that at that time, the population conversion was based on Ding households, with four to five people per Ding household, which meant that after the unification of the world, there would be 80 to 90 million people.

After a hundred or two hundred years of peace and various imported products from overseas, the population will inevitably explode.

"However, there is no problem in planting a few generations first. After the virus is detoxified, it will be promoted nationwide. Before that, after potato seedlings are raised, they will be planted in large areas in the north.

The high-yielding rice cultivated by Qinzhuang can be planted in the south. After the problem of detoxification is solved, it can be planted in large areas in the south.
