Chapter 488

He knew that the spring had just started, their family had a lot of land, and there must be a lot of things to do now, and he didn’t talk nonsense, which explained the purpose of this visit.

Murong Lingran heard him say that she wanted to buy snacks, candies and jerky. The quantity was still quite large. She told him that there were no ready-made ones at home, and she had to prepare for two days. After two days, she would personally deliver it to the Minister of Rites and ask Wei Jingxuan to hand it over to him. .

Helian Rongjiu naturally nodded in agreement.

Thinking of what she said just now, he asked again: "Girl, you said that if potatoes are stored well, they can be stored for more than a month, is it true?"

Murong nodded, "Of course it's true, and the variety I bought is extremely cold-resistant and can grow smoothly in snowy days. I estimated the yield per mu, maybe two or three thousand catties."

Helian Rongjiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "The yield per mu is two or three thousand catties? That much? Isn't that higher than the yield per mu of rice?"

"Yes." Murong Lingran explained, "Potatoes are a high-yielding crop. I heard from the person who sold me the seeds that in his country, many people take potatoes as their staple food. It is very high, and it is extremely easy to plant. If the fertility of the soil keeps up, it is possible to produce four or five thousand catties per mu.”

Helian Rongjiu and Wei Jingxuan looked at each other excitedly, and at the same time saw a light in the other's eyes.

If the yield per mu was really that high, and if it were extended to the entire Xuanqing Kingdom, then there would not be so many people starving to death every year.

Murong looked at the two of them suspiciously. Originally, she thought that the two of them really had that kind of relationship, but then she thought that they were both in high positions and knew that potatoes were a high-yield food. Invitation to the front.

Invite credit?

Murong Lingran's eyes suddenly lit up, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "The potato seller also said that potatoes are also important military rations in their country. After all, boiled potatoes can be carried on the body and eaten at any time, which is extremely convenient. "Their country, relying on potatoes, played a big role in fighting the rebels decades ago."
