Chapter 283 Food Harvest
Luo Fu said it was really difficult.
When a person has enough food and drink and has solved his physical problems, his spiritual needs will become greater.
But now that she has come to the farm, Zhu Mingqing will not show mercy.
After seven or eight days, the grain harvest was almost complete.
Luo Fu was so tired that she peeled off a layer of skin and her skin was tanned. She was so scared that she dared not go out again and just wanted to recuperate at home.
The farm's harvest shocked everyone.
Two farms and one thousand acres of land.
The rice yield reached ten dan per mu!
This is unprecedented in the entire Nanxia.
Chen Nong knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately ordered his wife and everyone on the farm to keep the matter secret!
"Madam, I don't know how long this matter can be concealed. And as for the sweet potatoes from before, I dug up some. Once they are planted on a large scale, it will definitely be impossible to hide it!"
Chen Nong was very worried.
These high-yield grain seeds are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Once the court knows about it, if it is an ordinary person, the worst that can happen is that they will just report it directly.
But this was brought by the Luo family.
Who knows what the court’s attitude will be!
Zhu Mingqing understood his feelings: "You take care of the things on the farm, and I'll take care of the things outside. Just relax for now, how about that?"
Chen Nong sighed, "Madam, I mean, if someone knows about this, it might very well lead to a fatal disaster!"
Zhu Mingqing certainly understood that money could move people’s hearts, not to mention that the interests involved in sweet potato seeds were too huge!
So, she wrote a letter that day, inviting Luo Huai and Luo Tingshan to the farm.
At dusk, the two arrived at the farm at the same time.
The area where sweet potatoes were grown had been fenced off. When Luo Tingshan heard that the rice yield could reach ten stone per mu, his eyebrows twitched violently.
Triple the production!
If it can be popularized, then people all over the world will probably be able to have enough food to eat!
When we got to the experimental field in the backyard where we planted sweet potatoes, we saw an output of 2,000 kilograms per mu!
Luo Tingshan's breathing stagnated, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face, which seemed to be calm.
Luo Huai was shocked!
Jiang Feng pinched his thigh hard. It wasn't an illusion!
The yield per mu is really 2,000 kilograms!
On the contrary, Madam, why is your face so calm? That’s right, I knew it a long time ago.
"Only two thousand jin?" Zhu Mingqing frowned, looking dissatisfied: "Can't it be increased anymore?"
These are seeds provided by the Immortal Palace, and they have been watered by the water nourished by the Spirit Gathering Stone.
You should know that modern sweet potatoes can produce up to 6,000 kilograms per acre!
Maybe the soil here is too poor!
"Madam, do you still think it's not enough?" Jiang Feng said in disbelief.
Luo Huai also looked over with wide eyes.
Luo Tingshan took a deep breath. Maybe Mingqing had seen this kind of seeds before, so he thought two thousand kilograms was not enough?
Chen Nong said: "It can be improved, but it takes time, and there is not enough fertilizer. I estimate that it may increase significantly next year."
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly. "I don't know much about agriculture. Thank you for taking the trouble, Mr. Chen."
Chen Nong looked very satisfied: "How can this be called a big deal? I've come across sweet potato seeds in my lifetime, which can solve the livelihood problems of millions of people. It's a blessing that others can't wait to have."
After dinner, the whole family gathered in the room.
Zhu Mingqing looked at Luo Tingshan and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Luo Tingshan shook his head, his eyes serious. "You should understand my character, but you discovered the seed, so you are the one who makes the final decision!"
Luo Huai also agreed: "Mother, what do you think?"
The family of three gathered together for the first time since their exile and discussed today's discovery.
"Sweet potatoes can indeed solve the problem of hunger for the people, but if I want to hide it, do you have any way?" Zhu Mingqing's gaze was mainly on Luo Tingshan. She knew that this man cared about the people. Now that the high-yield seeds were right in front of her, she didn't believe that he could be safe and sound.
Sure enough, a look of confusion flashed across Luo Tingshan's deep brows.
This is truly a test of one’s heart.
He wants revenge, but also wants the people to live a good life.
But when the world is in chaos, it is the people who suffer.
"If you trust me, I'll take responsibility for this matter."
After a long while, Luo Tingshan slowly said, "The grain will be handed over to the court in your name, and all past crimes of the Luo family will be pardoned. The Luo family will no longer return to the capital and will live in the Forbidden City. What do you think?"
Something as big as sweet potatoes can be kept secret for a while, but not forever.
But we should not rush into proposing it.
"Next year," Zhu Mingqing replied, "We'll test it in Guancheng this year and see how it goes next year."
She couldn't remember the exact time when Nanxia would fall into chaos, but of course the heavy taxes and constant natural and man-made disasters forced the people to rebel, and uprisings broke out in various places.
Always give yourself some preparation time.
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly: "Okay!"
The two of them looked at Luo Huai at the same time, what they meant was self-evident!
Luo Huai swallowed his saliva: "I will keep it a secret!"
Zhu Mingqing encouraged: "Come on!"
Luo Huai blinked: "Mother, can you give me some gold and silver support?"
Without waiting for Zhu Mingqing to speak, Luo Tingshan asked, "Are you short of money?"
Luo Huai nodded hurriedly, and just as he was about to speak, he realized that his father didn't know about his and his mother's plan.
“…We’re short of money.”
Luo Tingshan frowned: "What do you want to do with the money?"
Luo Huai took a deep breath: "I took over the Luo family's secret guards."
Luo Tingshan had heard of the Luo family's secret guards, who were only controlled by each generation of the family head.
He nodded slowly: "Then find a way to make money."
Luo Huai blinked expectantly, and was surprised: "Father, won't you give me a little help?"
Luo Tingshan pursed his lips: "I'm short of money too."
This is indeed true. Now only the secret industries have not been liquidated, and he is also saving money!
Luo Huai didn't believe it: "Then you gave those precious seeds to your mother before..."
Luo Tingshan raised his eyes, his expression indifferent: "So, I can't spend this little money?"
"No." Luo Huai's voice weakened. "If I don't have money, then I don't have money. I'd better be self-reliant."
My third brother and mother both run businesses, so I can invest some money next time and accumulate a little bit to make a lot.
Zhu Mingqing was well aware of the principle that "if you want a horse to run fast, you need it to eat plenty of grass": "If you need money in the future, you can ask Baolu for it."
The surprise came too suddenly, and when Luo Huai reacted, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"If it's more than ten thousand taels, come to me directly." Zhu Mingqing said again.
"Mom, you are this!" Luo Huai raised his thumb and praised sincerely.
Seeing this, Luo Tingshan felt a lump in his throat. Could he also ask his father for some money?
…
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Luo Fu lay on the bed wiping her tears, feeling extremely wronged.
Everyone on the farm was fast asleep, and Ah Xin heard a loud noise coming from the house in a daze.
She suddenly woke up, rubbed her eyes in confusion, and then thought of something. She immediately stood up and staggered to open the door.
His pupils dilated when he saw the scene inside.
"Someone, come quickly!"
