Chapter 198 Double Protection
"They were just praising you." Ji Shiyan explained from the side.
Sumu was opening a coconut and eating it very seriously, but he was paying attention to his surroundings.
"So that's how it is. You guys can praise me in front of me." Su Mu came up to the group happily, while Ji Shiyan was following behind with an opened coconut in his hand.
"Here I am!" Su Mu sat down, waiting happily for others to continue praising her.
Seeing how cute Su Mu was, I couldn't stop praising her with nice words.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Su Mu was so happy.
Ji Shiyan put the coconut in front of Sumu. Sumu was sometimes very cute, like a little child, and sometimes very calm and wise. Every side of him fascinated him.
"Drinking coconut."
"Thank you." Su Mu drank coconut milk and ate his meal happily.
Because I still had to thresh the wheat, I went to bed early after dinner.
In my dream, I could vaguely hear the sound of someone beating wheat with a flail all night long.
The moonlight at night was extremely bright. It shone on the village, accompanied by the joy of harvest. Everyone had a beautiful dream that night.
When the children got up in the morning, their grandfather and others had already gone to thresh the wheat.
"Grandpa, why are you here so early?"
"I'm so happy. Now that I'm old, I should sleep less and come early to keep cooler." If they work more, the children will have to work less, and this is something they can do.
"Grandpa, let's come too!" The sound of 'crack, crack, crack' of the flails was heard continuously.
Because the Su family had so much wheat, it was very fast to harvest. We had more than 20 acres of wheat, so this was not a small Sumu.
The cows were almost tired out by the constant traveling of the cart.
When the villagers had harvested their own wheat, they invited many other villagers to help thresh it.
Collect the wheat straw and pile them together to make a straw stack.
What was left underground was wheat full of impurities. The wheat was transported back to the Su family. They could put some of the wheat in the yard first and use their own windmill to blow it dry.
I don't know how many carts of wheat it took.
"How many pounds?" The others looked expectantly at the numbers obtained by weighing the items.
"The yield per mu is more than six stones, almost seven stones!!"
When everyone heard this number, their pupils dilated and they couldn't even close their mouths in shock. This is wheat! This is the staple food!
Nearly seven shi, that is almost 700 catties per mu! The wheat yield per mu is nearly 700 catties, which is an extremely astonishing number.
At this time, other families' wheat yields were still hovering around three stones, which was still a good harvest. A bad harvest might not even yield two stones.
There is double the harvest here!
Su Mu was also very surprised. The seeds originally had a yield of about five stones per mu, but after careful care and careful irrigation with fertilizer and water, the yield increased by more than one hundred kilograms per mu.
It's really amazing! The growth of plants is amazing. After adapting and growing, they can produce so much more.
"Good, good, good." The emperor kept saying good excitedly.
An increase in food means an increase in people's chances of survival and national strength. If people are well fed, more newborns will appear and society will be more vibrant. Population plays a decisive role in social development, and the country will become increasingly powerful.
"Su girl, this is a great thing!"
"Grandpa Ji, don't get excited. Calm yourself down first."
After all, he still has sweet potatoes planted in his fields. Grandpa Ji should know the wheat yield in advance so that he can build up his acceptance level. This will avoid a huge jump all of a sudden, from 300 or 400 kilograms to 1,000 kilograms, which would be a huge problem.
"Su girl, are these grains?" The emperor looked at her hopefully.
"We sold it." Su Mu said.
Besides keeping the grain for their own consumption, the rest can be sold. With more than 20 mu of land, the yield per mu is more than 700 jin, nearly 800 jin, which is nearly 20,000 jin of grain! !
"Okay, you guys are so nice."
"Grandfather Emperor, please go and rest first. I'll take care of it." Ji Shiyan asked the retired emperor to go back and rest first.
The reason why the emperor was so excited was, on the one hand, because he had been an emperor, but more importantly, he had experienced an era of misery.
I witnessed with my own eyes many common people starving to death, eating tree bark and leaves. If there was even a grain of rice or a bowl of porridge at that time, they would fight each other for the meager hope of survival.
I have witnessed the cruelty of history with my own eyes. It is ironic that the common people are starving and have to eat their own children, but the upper-level officials are still wasting money and living a luxurious life.
"Mumu."
Mumu shook his head and said, "You don't have to tell me, I understand."
The cruel history is recorded clearly, and the bloody truth is laid out before us. When I come here, I can feel that emotion more clearly.
What is written on these few thin pages is not a story, but the real experiences of millions of people.
"I'll keep all these seeds for you." Nearly 20,000 kilograms of seeds can surely plant a lot of land.
"Mumu, you are so nice."
I don’t know how to praise Mumu. How could there be such a woman in the world, bright and beautiful, emitting an incomparable dazzling brilliance.
"Then you don't need to praise me, just give me more silver." Su Mu chuckled.
"Okay, Mumu will need the silver. My father has plenty of it, so I'm sure he won't be reluctant to part with it."
"Hahahahahahahahahaha." Su Mu laughed happily. Is there such a disappointing child?
For the sake of the common people, the emperor would definitely be willing to do so, Ji Shiyan thought.
In the past, you couldn't get such good seeds even if you spent money, but now you can buy them with money, so what's there to be dissatisfied about? The difficult thing is that you can't buy them with money either.
"There's still a lot of wheat outside that hasn't been shipped in yet." Nearly 20,000 kilograms is not a small number.
"It's okay, I'll get someone to help transport it." With more vehicles and more people, the transportation speed increased.
"I will now send a letter to my father to inform him of this news."
Ask him to send someone over quickly to deliver the silver, and then take the wheat seeds away and store them properly. This will not only save them from taking up space in Mumu's house, but also prevent any unexpected events from happening.
Ji Shiyan had no idea that this letter had shocked the emperor so much that he summoned many officials to discuss the matter.
Arrange proper people to pick up this batch of grain, and deal with the storage issues, and also send silver.
When several officials heard about the output of this batch of high-quality seeds, they also realized their value. This was a great thing and the value of high-quality seeds was inestimable.
Someone immediately volunteered to come and transport the food.
However, the emperor found a few people he could trust, namely a few people from the Ministry of Works. These people knew her identity, and each of them had a kind heart and had a lot of dealings with Su Mu, so it was very appropriate to arrange for them to go.
Another team of guards was sent to follow and protect, and some secret guards were hidden in the dark to provide double protection.
