Chapter 358: Harvest! Yield of 6000 kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu
Qiao Niang carefully put on the fox fur cloak and touched it again and again lovingly.
"So lovely!"
Lu Shaoyang praised happily.
This time, when following the general to the barbarian tribe, most of the supplies were left in the army. They were allocated a small portion based on their military merits, but these were enough for him.
…………
After the epidemic was brought under control, people's lives became even more miserable. Other places did not have the high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes from the north, and there was no place like Moxuan Supermarket for people to buy high-quality and low-priced food.
The grain in other places is in the hands of wealthy families and businessmen. As a result, the common people can't survive, and many cases of robbery of merchants and wealthy families have occurred.
Uprisings broke out one after another in various parts of the Dayu Dynasty.
After suppressing one group, a new group rises up...
The most powerful among these rebels was Huang Sheng. He initially rose rapidly with a group of refugees and had already established his own base in the northwest.
King Ming, who held the slogan of "clearing the court and upholding justice", raised an army in the north far away from Mo County and proclaimed himself Emperor Ming, intending to challenge Emperor Jingtai for supremacy.
Emperor Jingtai Ling Cheng was no pushover either. He quickly forced the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to donate a large sum of money and food, and quickly assembled a large army to suppress the rebellion.
Since returning from the grassland last time, Jun Linghan's army has received a large amount of replenishment of food, dried meat, furs and other supplies. They are just waiting for the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes to lay a solid foundation for future supplies.
Look, sweet potato leaves are edible, so everyone collected several batches.
The soldiers in the canyon now feel that they are living a really good life.
No longer have to worry about whether the imperial court will withhold their food and military pay in the future!
They all saw the gold sent by General Li Yong!
my darling!
They had never seen so much gold in their lives!
Seeing that the food in the camp was getting better day by day, the soldiers trained with more enthusiasm and no one complained.
On this day, Jun Linghan took Feng Hanyue to inspect the camp.
By the way, send a batch of rabbits that are flooding Feng Hanyue's space to the army.
In the camp, several young generals who had just emerged from nowhere rushed out and volunteered to lead the troops to the grassland to search for the remaining barbarian tribes.
Seeing the desire and confidence in the eyes of the group, Jun Linghan smiled and agreed, asking them to go find General Xie.
Since his younger brother Xie Wenyuan came, Xie Wenxun has been refreshed and in a very good mood all day long.
Hearing that the soldiers were so eager to train, he happily took them to check the troops.
Feng Hanyue looked at this scene, smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, Yueyue, is it time to harvest the sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Feng Hanyue smiled and said,
"Yes, almost in these few days!"
Everyone is looking forward to sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Look, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the canyon are heavily guarded by the soldiers, for fear that people or wild beasts will come.
Seeing that the sweet potato vines had turned yellow, Feng Hanyue said to Jun Linghan.
"It's time to dig the sweet potatoes!"
Hearing this, Jun Linghan looked at the sweet potato vines in the canyon and saw that they were indeed withered and yellow. Thinking of the sweet potato vines in their village near the mountain that were still green, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yueyue, why is that? The sweet potatoes on both sides were planted at the same time."
Feng Hanyue looked at him with a smile and said,
"Yanzhi, the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes is also affected by factors such as soil and climate.
The soil in the canyon is richer and more breathable than at the foot of the mountain near the village. The temperature is also higher than at the village near the mountain. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is greater in the canyon, so the sweet potatoes here can be harvested a few days earlier.
Jun Linghan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It seemed that he was really knowledgeable about planting.
Call the soldiers and give the order.
"Excavation!"
Jun Linghan said excitedly.
At Jun Linghan's command, the soldiers took their tools and began to dig sweet potatoes.
With one hoe, several sweet potatoes were brought out. One after another, plump sweet potatoes broke out of the soil, exuding the fragrance of the soil and the joy unique to harvest.
An old veteran rushed into the field, carefully picked up seven or eight sweet potatoes that had just been dug out, and placed them on the scale next to him.
"Three pounds!"
"Three pounds!"
"Three pounds!"
Everyone cheered when they heard the weight.
"The sweet potato yield has greatly exceeded expectations."
Jun Linghan and Feng Hanyue were pleasantly surprised to find that the sweet potato harvest in the canyon was extremely substantial.
"One sweet potato plant weighs three kilograms. They planted about 2000 plants per mu of land, so their yield per mu is as high as 6000 kilograms!"
"6000 pounds!"
"6000 kilograms!"
