Chapter 287 Output tripled
Chen Hong felt a little disappointed.
The boy who was originally in high spirits now hung his head, and his eyes no longer had the brightness they had just now.
Seeing that the man was instantly wilted, Su Jin said again: "But this self-driving car is already a very powerful thing, unprecedented and unparalleled. Give me a share, Hong Ge, you are the one who deserves to be recorded in the history books."
Chen Hong's eyes instantly lit up again. It turned out that some people just followed the will of others and had to say nice things. Besides, Chen Hong, who could invent this thing, was very capable. She was not praising him, but just telling the truth.
Zhao Jingyu also spoke up to help: "Well, I think it's good too. You come to the palace with me tonight, and I will show this thing to my brother."
Self-propelled car? Anything that can be used in the military should naturally be shown to the emperor. Even a little bit of power can help the war. You know, the success or failure of a war often depends on details.
When Chen Hong heard that he could even show it to the emperor, he felt instantly happy. You know, his father has always been proud of being able to meet the emperor. Now he doesn't have to take the imperial examination and doesn't have to lead troops, but he can actually meet the emperor with his own invention. Hahaha, it feels great just thinking about it.
After meeting the emperor, he wrote a letter to his father to brag about it. He made the old man jealous to death, hahaha!
Chen Hong was even happier and almost took off on the spot.
So he instantly regained his passion for invention and almost immediately sent his servant back to the house to get a spring, and also found a master who specialized in making saddles to make a saddle for a self-propelled vehicle, which was called a "car saddle" for short.
Every profession has its own expertise, so of course this thing should be left to professionals.
The best saddle maker in the capital was Du Laosan from the west of the city. When he heard that Chen Hong wanted to make a saddle for the cart, he thought Chen Hong was crazy for a while. However, after seeing this thing, Du Laosan's eyes lit up.
Su Jin said, "This matter is confidential. No one can tell it. If anyone tells anyone, the Emperor will definitely exterminate all nine generations of your clan..."
Du Laosan shuddered and shut up instantly.
Then he turned around and went to the corner to discuss with Chen Hong.
Xie Huaiguang said, "Brother Hong actually asked you, Sixth Miss, to work on something new together. I never expected that."
Back then, there was a lot of unpleasantness between the Mansion of Minister Chen and the Mansion of Marquis Yong'an, especially the marriage of Chen Xinlian and Gu Ziyun, which was in big trouble because of the Enrong Banquet.
Who would have thought that now, we would see Chen Huailiang’s son defending Su Jin?
This woman really can get along with anyone.
"We've already divorced. The Marquis' Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion, and I am me. Brother Hong is a man who knows what's right and what's wrong. The reason we get along so well now is that he's open-minded."
In short, it has nothing to do with me. When it comes down to it, I can only say that Chen Hong is a good person.
Su Jin was eloquent and Xie Huaiguang nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the smell of barbecue came from not far away.
"Mother!"
Gu Zilu and Gu Suiyu ran over with roasted wheat ears on their plates.
"Mother, try it!"
Gu Zilu's eyes were full of happiness and anticipation.
This is Su Jin's farm. He personally supervised the planting of crops and shed his sweat here. Now, the grain production has finally increased. He just wants Su Jin to eat the first bite.
The plate was handed over, and the wheat ears inside were green, not the mature golden yellow. Su Jin was a little confused: "Are these not ripe yet?"
"Well, they are full of juice. There is a small plot of land in the ravine. They will mature later and there are not many. It is just right to roast them tonight. Come on, mother, eat them!"
As they were talking, the aroma of wheat wafted into the air. Xie Huaiguang and Zhao Jingyu both looked over. For a moment, no one rushed to grab the first credit, but instead waited for Su Jin to take the first bite.
Su Jin reached out and picked it up, and with a gentle rub, the wheat grains fell out. Because they had just been filled with pulp and were not yet mature, the wheat grains were still green and soft. After being roasted, they had a unique sweet smell of wheat. Even without any seasoning, they were already delicious.
Su Jin picked up some wheat grains and put them into her mouth. It tasted sweet and was truly a rare delicacy in the world.
Seeing her eating, Gu Zilu's smile became even wider, and one could tell how happy he was inside. His mother was happy to eat the food he grew, so he was happy too.
"Mother, how is it?"
"Mm, very sweet and delicious."
Su Jin looked at the wheat ears in his hand. They were already about the same size as the wheat ears of the future, and they felt heavy in his hand.
"How many kilograms of grain have been harvested? Have you figured it out?"
Gu Zilu nodded, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.
"Just got the statistics, the harvest has tripled!"
three times?!
Everyone was shocked, even Xie Huaiguang was slightly startled and narrowed his eyes.
Three times!
The yield of one mu of land is now at most 200 kilograms. Sometimes, due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, it can only be more than 100 kilograms. Let's take 200 kilograms as an example. The people can only keep 20% at most, so one mu of land can only keep 40 kilograms of grain. The food ration for an adult is 3 kilograms of grain a day. If there is food at home, 3 kilograms is not enough...
If we calculate this way, one acre of land can only feed one adult for a month or so. But who doesn’t have several people in a family, with old and young?
However, now the yield per mu of land has tripled. If it is 600 kilograms, then 20% is 120 kilograms, which is enough for a family of three to eat and drink. If you cultivate dozens of mu of land a year, you may even have a surplus at the end of the year! !
With this calculation, aren't good days coming for the people? Not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also use the surplus to pay off debts. They don't have to go out to dig wild vegetables like before to barely avoid starvation.
Xie Huaiguang was excited.
Mr. Zhuzhi pinched his beard and nodded with satisfaction. A man spends his whole life teaching and educating people, but no matter how many talents he has educated, it cannot compare to the contribution of allowing people to have one more bite of food!
Mr. Zhuzhi couldn't help but say, "Sixth Miss, that's very kind!"
It is indeed a great good deed.
Prince Rui had already been impatient. After Su Jin had finished eating, he stepped forward and picked up an ear of wheat to examine it carefully. He confirmed that it was larger and had more grains than the previous ears of wheat. He then smiled with joy and said, "I will show this ear of wheat to my brother!"
"Your Highness, tonight, Lord Xie and I will follow you into the palace."
Gu Zilu regained his composure and calmness. The boy's eyes restrained all emotions, so deep that one could not see to the bottom at a glance.
"Okay, okay, you should go with me! Now that wheat production has increased, and Chen Hong has invented a self-driving car, why should we worry about the prosperity of our Great Zhou and the prosperity of our country and our people?!"
Zhao Jingyu's excitement was far greater than that of others. He was thinking about the country, the Great Zhou, the years of harassment by the Xiongnu, the increasingly empty treasury, the drought and floods when his brother ascended the throne, and the refugees who were displaced and starved to death in foreign lands...
Now it’s good, there is salvation, everyone is saved!
