As for the food that was exchanged for sweat every day, Liu Lei asked his mother to plant his mother on an acre of land at home, and asked her to take care of it at home (cfae).

  "My child's father, the potatoes that are planted should be almost finished." Mrs Liu asked.

  "Hehe, motherfucker, we have dug an acre today. Guess how many kilograms of grain we have harvested." Liu Lei said happily.

  "Is it four hundred catties? Potatoes are delicious, but they are too big and not very durable. I don't know if I can eat them this winter." Liu Fu said softly.

  "My son, don't worry, keep enough to eat. It's really amazing. Guess how many kilograms of potatoes were guarded, and I actually dug up more than [-] kilograms of potatoes." Liu Lei said excitedly.

  For the tenants who have grown crops all their lives, it is simply unbelievable.In the past, if one mu of grain was planted, two hundred catties of grain could be harvested.

  "It's three thousand pounds?" Liu Fu was stunned.

  "That's too little. I feel like I have [-] catties. Hehe, let the children have a good meal today." Liu Lei said with a smile.

  "The child's father, how can he eat it. Although I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I have cultivated, I have obtained potato seeds. But we can't waste it. It's better to keep the seeds for making." The peasant woman said.

  Especially this year, due to the locust plague, the ten acres of fertile land planted as a tenant farmer to help the landlord basically failed to harvest.

  If Lu Zhuang hadn't recruited coolies, their family might not be able to survive the winter.

  "Father, I... I'm not hungry." The child said obediently.

  Liu Lei didn't know that if the potatoes dug out were used as seeds, in the coming year, more than ten acres of potatoes could be planted, and more than three thousand catties of potatoes could be harvested per acre.

  In this way, chickens lay eggs and eggs are alive, and their family will have endless food to eat.

  "Let's cook four or five. Don't worry, a few thousand kilograms of potatoes, no matter what, we can keep a lot of seeds for next year, and we can't go hungry." Liu Lei said.

  He also didn't expect that potatoes would have such a high yield, although some time ago, it was reported that the tenant farmers helped the owner of Lu Zhuang to plant the land, and each family had harvested several thousand catties of grain.

  But now my family can harvest so much, and I can't be excited. Only a person like Lu Zhuangzhu can sow auspiciousness to their people.

  "Don't worry, we will be able to eat every day just like them in the future." Liu Lei said.

  "It's enough to cook four, our family should be able to eat four pounds." Liu Lei said.

  "Great, we can finally eat potatoes." The child cheered.

  Sweet potatoes, cooked out.There is no need to add more seasoning, it emits bursts of aroma, the two let go of their stomachs and eat with big mouthfuls.

  Four potatoes weighing more than a pound were divided among the family of three and ate a clean, sweet potato, which was very fragrant and delicious.

  Liu Lei on the side showed a smile, happiness is so simple.

  Not only Liu Lei's family, but also in villages with a radius of dozens of kilometers, the scene of digging potatoes was staged.Their hard work finally paid off. .

Chapter 171

  The news that Liu Lei had harvested [-] catties of potatoes quickly spread in Anping County.

  "Have you heard that the old Liu family harvested [-] catties of potatoes yesterday on the more than one mu of land."

  "How is it possible, it's not so heavy to collect all the soil on the ground."

  "Don't believe me, a cousin of mine is a tenant farmer in Luzhuang. The family helped to plant five acres of land and harvested [-] catties of potatoes. They also got [-] catties."

  "By the way, I remember Yang Xin, your family seems to have planted half an mu. At that time, I remember that you changed a hundred catties of potatoes."

  Everyone invariably looked at Yang Xin who had not spoken behind him.

  "Hey, don't mention it, I exchanged [-] catties of potatoes, but after eating more than [-] catties, I only planted half an mu of land." Yang Xin said depressedly.

  "Half an acre is enough, have you harvested it yet?" the crowd asked curiously.

  "No, I'm planning to dig it back tomorrow~"

  It's mainly the first time to plant potatoes, and I don't know when it will be harvested, so Yang Xin has been waiting until now-.

  If it wasn't for hearing that others could harvest, Yang Xin might have to wait until the winter solstice to dig.

  "What are you waiting for tomorrow, hurry up, take us to see it." Everyone shouted and grabbed Yang Xin.

  That's an immortal grain with a yield of [-] catties per mu. How can I be satisfied with seeing it with my own eyes? .

  Yang Xin couldn't beat the crowd, so he had no choice but to take the shovel and head towards his field.

  Amid everyone's attention, Yang Xin took a shovel and began to dig a shovel along the root of the vine.

  With a clattering sound, seven or eight potatoes buried in the soil were dug up.

  Just a potato seedling, actually dug up seven or eight potatoes weighing a pound?

  Question marks popped out of everyone's heads, and then their eyes were full of disbelief.If each plant can have seven or eight catties, then half an mu of land has almost two thousand catties.

  "Dig it all out and see how many kilograms it can weigh."

  After everyone started to help, all the potatoes in half an acre of land were dug out and piled up like a hill.

  "It's amazing! [-] catties of potatoes were dug out of half an mu of land. I said Yang Xin, can you buy me [-] catties? I'm willing to pay three cents a catty."

  "Yeah, it's equivalent to the output of seven or eight acres of wheat. If Brother Yang wants to sell it, sell it to me too."

  Everyone looked at the potatoes with fiery eyes. The potatoes of more than [-] kilograms were planted more than [-] kilograms. Anyone would be jealous.

  "Cough cough, I'm sorry everyone, I don't sell potatoes, I plan to keep all the fields next year. But I can send a few to you to try. Moreover, the owner of Lu Zhuang sold them outside the door two months ago. Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of potatoes, don't you buy them back?" Yang Xin said.

  "Hey, how did you know that potatoes were so high-yielding at that time, and they only bought a dozen catties, not enough to plant one mu."

  "You're okay. I bought it and ate it back. Who made the potatoes so sweet and glutinous when boiled? It's better than bread, and it's resistant to hunger."

  "Actually, a large potato can be cut into several pieces, and it can also be planted a little."

  …………

  In Anping County, dozens of households grow potatoes. The high yield of potatoes has spread, and many people call it fairy food.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

  Yes, if it weren't for immortal grain, how could it be possible to produce three thousand catties per mu.

  In ancient times, due to problems such as cultivation level and seedling raising, one mu of land was at most more than three hundred kilograms.

  However, potatoes are actually ten times as large as wheat, and they can be grown not only in fertile fields, but even in the mountains, which is very convenient.

  In the city of Chang'an, the price of a pound of potatoes has actually been fired to five cents a pound, and there is even a priceless market.

  This year, apart from dozens of households in Anping County who have planted potatoes, the others only bought a few kilograms or a dozen kilograms from Lu Xiu.

... . . .

  The dozens of tenant farmers who helped Lu Xiu and the others plant the land are the most profitable, because the tenant farmers have two tiers of commission, and each person can make a dozen or so if they sell all of the several thousand kilograms of potatoes.

  Li Er in the palace also heard about the potatoes spread from Chang'an City.Of course he understood how good potatoes were, but it was a pity that Lu Xiu only gave him tens of thousands of pounds.

  To cover it within a few hundred miles of Chang'an, it is estimated that it will not be until the year after, unless Lu Xiu uses his ability to conjure countless seeds, or use his ability to spawn crops planted in the ground.

  And Lu Xiu probably won't be able to make a move, so that he can take out the seeds, Li Er feels that it is not easy.

  Besides, you can't trouble your son-in-law with everything.

  Not to mention how much he had fun "touring the mountains and waters" overseas now, if he wasn't busy with state affairs, he would have wanted to go out with Lu Xiu.

  Fortunately, I was able to go out with Lu Xiu for a day in three days. While busy, I could relax my mind and body.

  Moreover, governing a country is not something that happens overnight.Four.

Chapter 172

  But what made Li Er anxious was that on the third day, they were waiting in the queen's bedroom early, but it was already time, and they still didn't see the door to pick him up.

  Did Lu Xiu forget, or something happened.

  "Your Majesty, Wu He asks to see you."

  The leader of the Royal Forest Army, who guards Chang'an Imperial City day and night, descended from the sky and reported to Li Erhui.

  "Wu He?" A series of question marks appeared in Li Er's head.He didn't follow the Emperor Taishang and Lu Xiu all the time, why didn't he just open the door in the palace, he had to run in from outside.

  Looking up at the sky, Wu He, who turned into a falcon, was hovering over the palace. Li Er, who was strange in his heart, called Wu He down and wanted to ask him.

  After getting permission from Li Er, he circled a few times and landed in front of Li Er. .

  "Wu He, what about Zhuangzhu Lu and the Emperor Taishang, why didn't you join them?" Li Er asked.

  "Report to Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang and the others are in Luzhuang. Because there is something to do, Luzhuang Master opened a door and went directly back to Luzhuang, so let me inform Your Majesty." Wu He said.

  "It turned out to be back to Luzhuang. No wonder I waited for a long time and didn't see him open the door. In that case, I'll go to Luzhuang." Li Er was curious as to why Lu Xiu ran back from the boat.

  After spending half a column of incense, Li Er and the others took a carriage to Luzhuang.

  If it wasn't for the fact that he brought Li Chengqian, Li Erzao flew off with his queen in the form of a falcon.Not only will it be more comfortable than making a carriage, but also save time and effort.

  …………

  In Luzhuang, people come and go at this time, and it's not very lively.

  Li Er was able to see truckloads of wood and stones transported from various places unloaded on the withered grass in the front yard of Luzhuang.

  "Son-in-law, why are you buying so many materials?" Li Er was very surprised. Isn't Lu Zhuang already rebuilt, why does Lu Xiu have to buy so many building materials?

  "Nonsense. Of course it's used to build a house." Lu Xiu said.

  "Build a house?" Li Er didn't know why. Could it be that he wanted to expand Luzhuang?

  "Father, you don't know, we found a beautiful uninhabited island overseas. There are many, many coconut trees and beautiful silver sandy beaches on the coast. So Brother Lu plans to build a house on the island. , you can stay on the island for as long as you want in the future." Lizhi explained.

  "That's right, Xiaoyou Lu's identity is so noble, it is natural to set up palaces all over the world." Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled.

  "Son-in-law. I wonder if you can take me to visit the island." Queen Changsun said expectantly.

  "Okay, otherwise I won't let Wu Hefei go to the palace to inform you. As it happens, I also want to send someone to move all the purchased materials to the island."

  Lu Xiu swiped his hands, and a three-meter-wide gate appeared out of thin air in front of them, the size of a city gate.

  When Li Er and the others crossed the gate, the warm wind slowly blew in, and the coldness on his body disappeared.The few people who were originally wearing fur coats began to feel a burst of heat.

  "Father, it's so warm. It's almost winter, yet it's so warm on the island." Li Chengqian was surprised.It's like turning a cold winter into a warm summer.

  "Yeah, it can't be said that it's warm anymore, but it's hot..." Li Tai, who was overweight, quickly took off all his coats, leaving one or two thin clothes on his body.
