The sweet potatoes produced by a mu of land were 10,000 kilograms. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even if it was put to this day, it was a terrifying number.

But Zhu Cixuan's acre of land is so high-yield. This was one of the most important scientific research crops in his backpack before he traveled through time, Jishu No. 9.

This sweet potato has no other advantage, it is just a word, big!

The yield is really incredible. It can extract most of the moisture in the soil and supply its own growth.

Even in arid mountainous areas, Jishu Nine can still play its advantages. It can be said that where there is soil, there are growth conditions for Jishu Nine.

Of course, this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but this also reflects from the indirection that the high yield of Jishu No. 9 is resistant to salt, alkali and drought.

Originally, Zhu Cixuan, who had traveled through time, wanted to try planting the Jishu No. 9, which his tutor cultivated in the experimental field of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in his hometown.

Who knew that by chance, we came to this parallel world Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the sweet potato seeds in the backpack were not lost. Zhu Cilang asked Liu Laifu to try planting in the back garden of Cining Palace, and the yield exploded directly.

Although it was not completely mature, Liu Laifu once made a rough estimate. When he digs out a few sweet potatoes to check their growth, judging from the yield of underground tubers, it seems that it is not a problem to exceed 10,000 kilograms.

Ten thousand pounds really scared Chongzhen to death.

If you are growing corn, it is calculated based on the high yield of 300 kilograms per mu of land. The yield of corn in 30 mu of land is not as good as that of Jishu No. 9 on a mu of land.

Emperor Chongzhen looked frightened: "Ciyang, do you know what 10,000 jin means? Even if it is rice in Jiangnan, the yield of twenty acres of land."

This is too incredible. There is no such thing in the world. As Zhu Cilang said, how could there be any saying of bandits in the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Cilang was also stunned and smiled randomly: "The father misunderstood. The son-in-law said that the yield per mu is 10,000 jin because this sweet potato is a tuber crop. If the water is removed and dried, the yield is not so terrifying. A mu of sweet potatoes should look like three or four thousand jin."

This is more reliable. A mu of land of three to four thousand kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, Chongzhen finally nodded, and this is almost the same.

However, when I thought about it, Chongzhen was very scary when he thought about it carefully. Three or four thousand kilograms of sweet potato were also scary. This was the weight of the tubers after drying them.

"Can dried sweet potatoes be used as a staple food?" Chongzhen asked.

This time, Zhu Cilang nodded seriously: "Father, as far as my son knows, it's OK."

It's true, sweet potatoes can be used as a staple food.

Originally, the high-yield crop of sweet potatoes actually has its limitations. First of all, roasted sweet potatoes can provide calories, and when you eat too much staple food, you will bloat.

Dried sweet potatoes and cooked porridge, and eating too much will cause acid reflux. In other words, it is actually not feasible to be a staple food for sweet potatoes.

However, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. The great working people have invented another way to eat this kind of bloating or acid-repelling food.

That is, spread it into pancakes! The content of cellulose in sweet potatoes is too high, and it is not easy to digest, especially if you have a bad appetite, you can't eat other meals after eating.

However, after spreading into pancakes, all problems can be solved.

First of all, the shelf life of the sweet potatoes spread into pancakes is not a problem for one year. When eating, sprinkle water to soften the pancakes and use them as a staple food.

This way of eating was the daily staple food for many people in Shandong, especially those in the old Yimeng Mountain area.

Zhu Cilang is very sure that sweet potatoes can be made into staple food. In addition, sweet potatoes are full of treasures.

When the grain is green and yellow, you can pick the leaves of unripe sweet potatoes and cook a pot of mixed grain porridge with fresh sweet potato leaves. It is also a good choice.

More importantly, it really has a natural disaster that has not been encountered in a century. Even the dried sweet potato seedlings are originally used to raise livestock. You can use them and cook them with mixed grain porridge. This is called sweet potato seedlings and mixed grain rice. It is not delicious, but it can fill the stomach and provide the necessary energy of the human body.

Sweet potatoes can be said to be the savior of the people in the year of disaster.

He said nothing, and Chongzhen, who was in the Cining Palace and his party, was completely suppressed. With the yield of these crops, if the Ming Dynasty was given twenty years, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be resurrected and build a powerful and prosperous empire.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty has not been too long. Whether these crops can save the Ming Dynasty in the end depends on how Chongzhen will change it in the future.

At this time, events that shocked the court happened one after another in Beijing. First, several corrupt officials, led by Zhu Chunchen, donated millions of taels of silver to rectify the three camps.

In addition, a few spies sent by the Jinyiwei have arrived in Macau. Their purpose is to obtain the Portuguese art of making artillery.

In Liaobei, Huangtaiji, whose body gradually became better and better, began to move again. It was not that Huangtai was very powerful, but that he was forced to do so.

First of all, when the Qing Dynasty was founded, it was robbed. Whoever was robbed, of course, whoever was rich would be robbed.

The old Daming, who is drooping, won’t he grab anyone if he doesn’t want to steal the fat meat in front of him?

However, I never expected that in the battle outside Yizhou City, Huang Taiji was beaten to the ground for his teeth and almost lost his life.

Even the princes Bell beside him were stabbed by Hong Chengchou and screamed with a beating.

The morale of the Qing army was depressed and autumn was about to begin. If you don’t go out and grab it, you may not be able to live this winter.

The Palace of the Forbidden City is not quiet either. First of all, the Empress Zhou of Kunning Palace was the Empress Zhou of Emperor Chongzhen. As the mother of a country, Empress Zhou of Zhou finally felt sorry for her husband.

So, Empress Zhou personally cooked a bowl of lotus seed porridge and went to Qianqing Palace to give it to Chongzhen. When she arrived at Qianqing Palace, she found that Chongzhen was not there.

It turned out that Chongzhen went to Concubine Yuan's place. As a woman in the harem, even if you are the queen, you have to accept your fate. Although Emperor Chongzhen is not close to women, it does not mean that he does not have other concubines.

Queen Zhou is also a woman, and she will be jealous if she is a woman: "Long live?"

A little palace maid gave a timid salute and lowered her head and said, "When the Empress says, the emperor will go to Concubine Yuan."

Queen Zhou snorted and placed the lotus seed porridge heavily on the table: "I am full of my heart, but I am in love with you."

Queen Zhou has never been a jealous woman, but this time, she obviously felt wronged.

The young palace maid in Qianqing Palace was extremely well-behaved and sensible: "The Empress calmed down and the Emperor worked hard day and night for the government. The Emperor knew his wishes. It was just a pity that this bowl of lotus seed porridge. I heard that the Crown Prince of Zhongcui Palace often did not eat breakfast. This bowl of lotus seed porridge is worse than sending it to Zhongcui Palace."
