Chapter 334 King, it can be counted as five stones per mu(1/2)
"King, a great harvest!"
After weighing and counting all the rice, Li Chang also grinned, his face full of excitement, and he was no longer astonished as ever. Li Xuan couldn't help but ask, "How many kilograms of millet have he collected in total?"
"When I go back to the king, I have collected 2,800 stones of rice!'
"Two,800 stones?"
Li Xuan was stunned, then his face was full of joy
"In this way, four stones per mu?'
Paddy fields were always called 1,000 acres of paddy fields, but in fact, there were only 800 acres of paddy fields, and they were divided into 200 small paddy fields, of which each piece of paddy fields was four acres in size.
Moreover, among these 200 paddy fields, there are still twenty paddy fields with grapes and vegetables planted.
Therefore, in fact, this piece of paddy field is only 720 acres.
You should know that in this era, the fields in the north generally yield one to two stones per mu, and only those fertile paddy fields in the south or Shandong can achieve three stones per mu.
And now, the paddy fields he reclaimed with wasteland can actually reach four stones!
It seems that those fish cakes are quite useful.
"call
Thinking of this, Li Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, next year, the two thousand acres of wasteland bought by Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde can be planted according to the paddy field model.
"Congratulations to the king, four stones per mu!'
"King, the yield per mu is four stones, four stones
After Li Chang finished speaking, the villagers in the village all said to Li Xuan with excitement.
"Um!"
Although Li Xuan was also a little excited about this.
But, he still looked calm.
"It is certainly a good thing to produce four stones per mu, but don't forget the big fat fish in the paddy fields. Why can't a piece of paddy field raise 400 kilograms of fat fish?"
"That's true!"
Hearing this, the merchants were stunned.
Immediately, everyone's faces became even more shocked.
"King, in this way, it can be considered as five stones per mu!"
"Yes, Wushi, Dawang's paddy field produces five stones per mu!"
"Hahaha, five stones...
Suddenly, everyone began to be ecstatic.
"What five stones?"
Suddenly, a confused voice came in from outside the crowd, which stunned Li Xuan and the villagers.
All the merchants turned their heads and looked at them.
After seeing the person coming clearly, these merchants were shocked again.
Then, there was another great joy.
"His Majesty?'
"See Your Majesty!"
Since Li Shimin brought his family to Lijiazhuang to escape the summer heat, most of the merchants in the village have known this Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
"What five stones?"
Li Shimin asked curiously, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the rice piled up beside him.
"Go back to Your Majesty, it is the king's paddy field, which can produce five stones per mu!" An old farmer said with a happy face.
"What?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Wei and others were all shocked.
As for Li Wei, who was beside him, he quickly shouted: "You old farmer, are you talking nonsense? The saint is talking nonsense, but he will be regarded as deceiving the emperor and talking about his crimes!"
When his son was born, these old farmers helped Li Wang's family a lot, so Li Wei didn't want these old farmers to be executed by His Majesty just because of a word.
At the same time, Li Shimin also stared at the old and village households.
Wushi, that's not just a joke.
When the Tang Dynasty could only produce three stones per mu, not to mention the five stones per mu, even if someone planted a good seed with four stones per mu, Li Shimin could be awarded the title of that person.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, this matter is absolutely true!"
The old and villager said quickly.
"Um?'
Now, Li Shimin's face was moved and he hurriedly looked at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, is this true?
Li Shimin cannot be nervous. In such a farming society, food is everything.
Now, the yield of three stones per mu, or two stones per mu, can make most of the people full as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters. If the yield of five stones per mu, Li Shimin can guarantee that even if there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people of the Tang Dynasty can still eat enough. Even if they are not only full, but also wealth.
"When you go to your Majesty, you can also say that you have five stones per mu, but that is the water fish in the field."
Li Xuan naturally knew Li Shimin’s expectations, but he needed to be realistic.
"Please also say Xuan Baming."
Li Shimin still believes Li Xuan's words.
"Your Majesty, one acre of rice produces four stones of rice, and a piece of paddy field can raise 400 kilograms of fat fish, which can be counted as five stones per mu!'
Li Xuan explained slowly.
"I see!"
After listening, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.
Then, he reacted and looked at Li Xuan with shock.
"Xuanba, what you just said is that the yield per mu of four stone rice is?'
Similarly, Li Wei around him was also full of shock.
“That’s right!’
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "If the rice I planted is not wrong, it should be four stones per mu!'
Hearing this, Li Chang, who was standing beside him, looked anxious and shouted: "Your Majesty, the king, the villain has done it three times, and he will definitely not make mistakes!"
At this moment, Li Shimin had already squatted down, grabbed a handful of rice, and looked carefully.
"I didn't expect that this kind of rice can produce four stones per mu
"Um?'
Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression condensed, he put the rice in front of him and looked carefully for a while.
Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, are these rice particles a little larger than the previous ones?"
"Um!'
Li Xuan nodded slowly.
"Your Majesty, these rice are watered by river water since the seedlings, and there are hundreds of small fish that pull manure, fertilize, and even catch insects and weeds. Therefore, the rice grows better than other rice, and the grains are full and large, so it is natural!
"In this way, is it true that four stones per mu yield?'
Li Shimin's face was still filled with a hint of surprise.
"It's true!"
Li Xuan nodded.
"Very good! Hahahaha
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
After standing up, I still held a handful of rice in my hand and was reluctant to put it down.
"Xuanba, can these rice be used as breeding?"
"It's OK!"
Li Xuan nodded, "But there is not enough food in the village. Your Majesty wants to use these rice for breeding, and you need to exchange them for food!" "It should be done so!"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly, "Xuanba, prepare a breeding of 100 stones for me first. I will go back and send someone to deliver the food." After that, he turned around and took Li Wei to Chang'an City.
