Chapter 359: Emerging

"How much is this land?" An elderly official asked the latest chapter with his gray beard.

"The piece that just digged open is about three points." Lian Man'er said. They have digged open about one-third of the land, and this whole sweet potato field is about nine points.

"Just three points?" The official seemed to disbelief and asked again.

"Sir, that's right, just three points, only a small amount." Lian Man'er said.

"Go and measure it." Shen Liu said to the followers around him.

I don’t know how the follower brought a ruler with him, and really entered the sweet potato field and started measuring.

"Sir, it's a land with two cents and nine cents hanging on it, and the whole sweet potato field is one acre and two cents." After the follower measured it, he returned to the ground and reported to Shen Liu with his hands crossed his hands.

Immediately, the sound of amazement on the ground turned into a circle. The villagers who were standing a little far away just now were no longer afraid of the officials and crowded in front. Thanks to the guards of the followers blocking them, otherwise they would definitely "collide" the latest chapters of the officials in front.

Three cents of land can harvest 327 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Wouldn't the yield of a mu of land exceed one thousand kilograms? What does this mean? In Liaodong Prefecture, the most experienced crop-holding style, one acre of hard work, and one acre of land can harvest 300 kilograms of sorghum or millet, which is a bumper harvest. One acre of land is equivalent to the yield of more than three acres of land. How can people not be excited!

"Can you dig out all this land?" the old official asked with a trembling trembling, as if he had seen the past with his own eyes that was not enough. He had to see the entire harvest of more than acres of land with his own eyes before he could believe in the fact of high yield.

The growth period of sweet potatoes is from 100 to 120 days. Even Man'er's sweet potatoes have grown for 1110 days, and it is not too early to harvest them now. Moreover, they planned to harvest all the sweet potatoes today and weigh them on the spot to create a sensational effect.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes, without them saying it, this sweet potato will definitely be promoted. Of course, more people will buy sweet potatoes for seeds from his family.

Even Shouxin brought people into the sweet potato field and started digging sweet potatoes. After digging out all the sweet potatoes, weighing them on one acre and two cents of the land. The total output of sweet potatoes was 1,362 kilograms.

"Sir, this sweet potato can be eaten by people, and the sweet potato seeds can be fed to pigs. Now the empty land can be planted with another soybean crop." Lian Man'er saw that the old official was quite familiar with farming and was overwhelmed with concern about this matter, so he said this sentence to him.

The official was dancing and even more excited after listening to Lian Man'er's words.

"Little girl, how do you know so much?" After being excited, the old man finally realized that the person who was talking to him was a girl who seemed to be in his teens, so he asked with some differences.

"Sir, don't be careful about my young age. I'm also an old farmer. I learned all this from my father." Lian Man'er smiled.

When Lian Man'er called herself an old farmer, everyone smiled.

"This is not the first time you grow sweet potatoes? Even your father, how can you know so much?" the old man asked again.

Shen Liu was on the side, letting him ask questions, and not stopping him. Lian Man'er knew that the old man should be trusted in front of Shen Liu. She did not hide her reply.

"Sir, this sweet potato is called our family. This thing is called sweet potato in Fuzhou Prefecture. Because someone has planted it in Fuzhou Prefecture, we asked for it and learned to plant it. That's why we know this." Speaking of this, Lian Man'er said the sweet potato from Wang Youheng of the Wang family and said it again.

Wulang also walked up and respectfully asked Shen Liu a letter.

"The detailed situation has been written in the letter. Please read it with your attention."

Shen Liu asked someone to take the letter. He opened the letter and read it quickly, and handed it to the white-bearded official beside him.

"Old Li, look at it." Shen Liudao.

Lord Li hurriedly took the letter, read it carefully from beginning to end, and nodded repeatedly.

"So that's it, so that's it, so that's it, so good." After saying a few good words, Lord Li raised his head and asked Goro, "Who wrote this letter?"

"Sir, this letter was written by my brother." Lian Man'er pointed at Goro and said to Lord Li, "My brother is studying in a private school in the town and will be taking the Boy Exam next year."

"Yes, it was written by me. Please give me advice." Goro bowed to Lord Li again.

It is no longer easy for an ordinary farmer to have a girl who is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the powerful and wealthy, and is free to deal with it. There is also a young scholar who is less than the weak, and he also knows how to write the whole story and how they grow sweet potatoes into a letter. This is really amazing.

"The child can teach you,... the younger generation is terrifying..." Lord Li smiled and twisted his beard.

"Sir, this matter needs to be reported to the court quickly according to the opinions of the officials.... Although there are already planting in Fujian, we have not heard of it. Besides, this matter is the first case in our residence..." Lord Li bowed to Shen Liu and said.

Several officials next to him also agreed.

"This is a matter under the jurisdiction of the local government, so I don't want to interfere. Let me leave it to the prefect and Lord Li." Shen Liudao.

The prefect and Lord Li both hurriedly refused.

"This matter was reported to the Sixth Master, and it was discovered by the Sixth Master because of the corn incident. It should be reported by the Sixth Master. We dare not take credit for it."

Lian Man'er didn't continue listening, but ran to help pack the sweet potatoes. She could guess what the result was without listening.

Of course, Shen Liu took the lead and other officials benefited from it.

Shen Liu was about to leave, and someone brought a tray of silver to Lian Shouxin, and then he brought two baskets of sweet potatoes. Then he got on the car. Shen Liu got on the car and sat down. He didn't know what he thought of, and he asked someone to lift the curtain of the car and called Lian Shouxin, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi to the front of the car.

"What are the instructions of Master Six?" Lian Shouxin asked respectfully.

"Yes." Shen Liu's eyes swept over, stopped for a moment on Lian Man'er's face, raised his right hand, and gently turned the white jade ring on the thumb of his left hand.

"Let's go." Shen Liu said nothing in the end and just ordered.

Lian Man'er hurriedly retreated, and the curtain fell down, and Shen Liuluo's somewhat deep gaze was hidden.

Shen Liu's convoy left, and Lian Man'er's family hurriedly transported sweet potatoes to their homes. Before the sweet potatoes were fully transported to their homes, someone came to their door with silver.

The first one to come to the door was Wang Juren. Yes, Wang Juren came in person, and he wanted to buy sweet potatoes.

This made Lian Shouxin a little worried. It was not good to not sell it to him, but if you want to sell it, whether the sweet potato can be sold and how much it should be sold is a question.

"Junren, we are fellow villagers in the village. My parents often think about the kindness and righteousness of Juren, and take care of the fellow villagers. If this sweet potato can be sold at my house, the Juren will definitely be the first one. I didn't say that." Lian Man'er, who came out to deliver tea, smiled and said, "But, whether this sweet potato can be sold and how to sell it, you have to allow us to make some time and let us formulate a charter first."

When Wang Juren heard his nephew Wang Youheng and the family's manager, the servants talked about Lian Man'er from the Lian family, but this was the first time he saw Lian Man'er. Seeing that this little girl was indeed as smart and neat as the rumors said, she was reasonable and respectful to him and kind, making people feel comfortable.

"Okay." Wang Juren stood up and said goodbye, but kept the silver.

Lian Shouxin naturally refused to give in. After giving in for a few times, Wang Juren just refused to take away the money. Lian Man'er thought about it and took it down. Only then did Wang Juren leave with satisfaction.

"Man'er, when Liu Ye left, he didn't leave a word. Can we sell this sweet potato? It's not good to leave Wang Juren's silver." Lian Shouxin said. He was an honest man and kept Wang Juren's silver. If he couldn't sell it to others, he would feel very uneasy.

"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded and confirmed that it was authentic. If Shen Liu had an arrangement for the sweet potatoes they collected, he would definitely show it when leaving. Shen Liu didn't say anything, that means they could decide for themselves.

This sweet potato may be the only one in Liaodong Prefecture, but it should have been planted on a large scale in Fuzhou Prefecture. To promote sweet potatoes in Liaodong Prefecture, relying solely on their family’s sweet potatoes on more than acres of land, of course, it will not work. They will have to be transported from other places.

They can decide how to arrange these sweet potatoes by themselves, so first of all, they cannot forget the Wang family. Because of Wang Youheng, if Wang Juren wants to buy sweet potatoes, they must give priority to taking care of them.

As for how to sell this sweet potato, Lian Man'er's heart moved and looked at the few silvers given by Shen Liu.

"Dad, mom, let's see how much money is?"

"The money is there, I can't escape, so let's discuss the sweet potato first." Lian Shouxin said.

"Dad, if we don't look at this money, we can't decide on sweet potatoes." Lian Man'er said.

"What else is there in this silver?" Lian Shouxin said in surprise.

Zhang and Lian Shouxin carried the silver over and put it on the kang, asking Lian Man'er to count the seals one by one. Shen Liu left six silver seals for them, each of which was two large silver ingots, and one silver ingot weighed ten taels.

"There are 120 taels of silver in total. How heavy are our two baskets of sweet potatoes?"

"A basket can have more than 60 kilograms, and two baskets can add up to only 134 kilograms." Lian Shouxin thought for a while and said.

"Let's calculate it based on 120 kilograms," Lian Man'er thought for a while and said, "120 taels of silver, 120 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

"That sweet potato is only one tael of silver per pound?" Even Shouxin's voice changed a little.

Lian Man'er coughed twice. In her previous life, sweet potatoes were not valuable at first, but later, with the value of coarse grains, they continued to rise. Of course, there were factors such as surplus, inflation, and inflation. However, the price of sweet potatoes is a bit outrageous if you spend a ounce of silver per kilogram.

The money given by Shen Liu is not a buy, it means rewarding them with the meaning of rewarding them.

So how much is the price of sweet potatoes?
