Chapter 197: The whole country is full of fertile land!
The first time the old man saw such a scene, he was stunned and led everyone to his paddy field in a daze.
Most of the crops were harvested by a mu. The old man's family was cutting rice with a stone knife. Bales of golden rice ears were piled in the fields, while the little kid was looking for the uncut rice ears in the fields.
The old man bitter said tremblingly: "I... have harvested two acres of land, so there will be no mistakes. This piece of land is about the same size as the acre. When the old man harvests it later, the king, the second elder will know at a glance!"
Wu Tong nodded as if nothing had happened. Gu Jing Wubo could not see any emotion, but Yao Yun knew Wu Tong very well, and glanced casually and saw an unconcealable excitement in his eyes.
Yao Yun had the experience of his previous life and had even seen grain yielding over a thousand kilograms per mu. He was naturally calm at this time, but he also understood the urgent mood of Wu Tong and other people, so he said:
"Come here, help the bitter old man harvest rice!"
"Here!"
Twenty palace guards with fierce dragon spirits and tigers followed Yao Yun's instructions, jumped into the fields one by one, pulled out sharp weapons and began to harvest rice.
Originally, the old man's family had almost finished harvesting, with only half left. Now there were more than twenty young and powerful young laborers, and soon the rice of acre of land was harvested.
After harvesting, it is threshing. Rice buckets are used to thresh. There is a small wooden ladder inside the bucket. People tie the harvested rice and beat it to the wooden ladder inside the bucket, and the drum will fall into the bucket.
The old man’s family only has one rice bucket, and it takes a lot of time to make acre of rice. There are two eye-catching farmers next to him who immediately bring the rice bucket that they have never used before.
Soon, three rice buckets threshed together, and the field suddenly became bustling.
The palace guards are all martial arts practitioners, and they are the elite among the soldiers of Xidu. They have good strength, so threshing is naturally no problem. They are fast and good. The people around them envious of the guards who have good health.
"The threshing is finished, hurry up and weigh it!" someone shouted excitedly.
Hu and Dou are both tools for weighing grain, and they are also units. One stone is equal to two huhu, which is equal to ten tumblers.
When the real weighing comes, everyone's heartstrings are also fluctuated. Whether it is as the old man said, the double yield per mu depends on this moment.
There is no small matter about food, but in the eyes of the people, this matter is as big as the sky!
Wu Tong, who was "calm", couldn't sit still at this time. He was also very nervous when he watched the palace guards weighing. He stroked the goatee several times in a few breaths, and almost pulled off his beard.
Wu Tong turned his head and whispered to Yao Yun: "King, did you say it was accidental? Will this acre of rice be less good than the bitter old man said?"
Yao Yun smiled slightly and picked up a rice ear that he played with with with his palm: "Second elder, just look at the rice ears. They are plump and fuller than the rice ears in other fields. Don't worry, even if they can't triple, it's still no problem to double them. The bitter old man also said that one acre of land is worth two or three acres of the past. Look at it!"
In this era, one mu of paddy fields produces more than one stone per mu of grain, which means one or two hundred grains, and the yield per mu doubles by about two or three hundred kilograms.
You should know that the average rice yield in the Ming Dynasty in the past period reached more than 600 kilograms. There are mysterious existences such as vitality in this world. The grains are better and the land is more fertile. The potential is far greater than imagined.
He found nothing, and he sniffed it again, and soon he spoke: "No, there is only a fragrance of grass and trees, it is the smell of rice, it is so fragrant!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked. The people were mixed with feelings. They were both happy and regretful. If they had known that they would have used fertilizer, they would have been the one who had the harvest at this time!
