After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your Excellency, this time every household in our Chijia'ao village also received some money."
There is no fixed standard for how many potato seeds are needed per acre.
Fang Shizhong immediately remembered that Chi Yu had mentioned before that sweet potatoes were propagated by cuttings from vines.
It is said that the vines can be pruned a second time.
This means that if the vines grow well, less sweet potato will be needed.
Seeing that he seemed to have remembered something, Chi Qiao continued:
"Sir, normally speaking, planting ten acres of this land wouldn't be a problem."
At the current temperature, it takes about four months from planting to harvest.
Even though Fang Shizhong knew that sweet potatoes could be propagated by cuttings after vine cuttings, he had no idea how many seed potatoes he needed per acre.
Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up.
Ten acres of land can be planted here, and the yield per acre is several thousand catties.
This means that once these seeds are planted, they can yield tens of thousands of kilograms in about four months.
These tens of thousands of kilograms can be used as seeds for thousands of acres of land, and those thousands of acres can produce millions of kilograms of sweet potatoes.
The more he calculated, the more excited he became.
At that moment, he seemed to see a prosperous scene in the Great Chu Kingdom, where everyone could have enough to eat.
All of this is because these Chijia'ao villages have contributed high-yield crops.
Fang Shizhong was happy, and his tone was gentler than ever before.
He first looked at County Lieutenant Wang, who was standing to the side with equally fervent eyes.
"Lord Wang, you and your men will guard this place tonight. Tomorrow morning, Elder Chen will personally bring his men over."
"At that time, you can simply hand these things to him."
Like Qin Mu, County Magistrate Wang had returned from the northern frontier with Fang Shizhong.
The only difference is that one operates in the open, while the other operates in the shadows.
Hearing Fang Shizhong's words, he also knew how important this thing was to the person in front of him.
It can even be said with certainty how important this item is to the people of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Therefore, he nodded vigorously, his gaze as firm as when he first learned he was to come here!
Fang Shizhong looked at Chi Dahu after seeing him agree.
"Chi Dahu, the Elder Chen mentioned in my official speech, is the Grand Minister of Agriculture of our Great Chu Kingdom."
He arrived in Anping County a couple of days ago and is currently staying in a thatched hut next to Guantian.
He will come early tomorrow morning. I intend to have you work by his side. Are you willing?
Chi Dahu had long known that he would be working in the government office, but he never expected that he would be working alongside the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
Qin Mu had told him before that being able to farm could also lead to becoming an official.
In the Ministry of Agriculture, which was established in the central government, there were some people who were experienced farmers.
Therefore, he knew exactly what the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture was.
Isn't that the head of the Ministry of Agriculture?
Being by his side would mean that he might also be able to get a position in the Ministry of Agriculture.
This is a completely different level from working in a small county government office in Anping.
As soon as Fang Shizhong finished speaking, he immediately looked at his wife with bright eyes.
He wasn't that stupid; he understood that this was because Xiaoyu had given him something good, and Fang Shizhong was happy to reward him.
Otherwise, why would someone let a hunter from the deep mountains work for the Grand Minister of Agriculture?
You could say he got his money's worth thanks to Xiaoyu!
Not to mention how happy Chi Dahu was at this moment, Chi Qiao was also very happy.
She was almost certain that her husband would be hired by the Ministry of Agriculture.
For the Chi family, this represented a leap in social class.
Sure enough, after Chi Dahu looked over, she smiled and answered in his place:
