When Shen Wansan heard this, his expression was also stunned, his face showed a trace of shame, he bowed to his father-in-law, and said solemnly: "My lord, Your Highness has explained before leaving, you can't take a stitch from the people in vain!" ”

"So, if you have something to do, give me this chicken first, and I'll give you the money, and you can go back first!"

The old man shook his head: "I can't ask for this money, I just want my chickens to eat a few more bugs!" ”

"Boss Shen, I also know that this chicken is really nothing to you, but this is a little bit of my heart, His Royal Highness's golden body has already gone to the Southern Wilderness, I don't have that ability, so the family can only take out this little chicken!"

"Just take it!"

Shen Wansan's face had a hint of embarrassment, but looking at the old man's sincere expression, he finally bowed slightly: "Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang!" ”

"Boss!"

Shen Wansan sighed lightly: "Put my father-in-law's chicken under my hands, and go and give my father-in-law five buckets of rice!" ”

"This ...... I can't help it! Boss Shen, I can't help it! ”

The old man was a little frightened, you know, don't say it's his chicken, even two chickens can't be exchanged for five buckets of rice!

Shen Wansan said with a smile: "Old gentleman, before His Royal Highness leaves, he has repeatedly ordered that he is not allowed to take a stitch from his father and fellow villagers in vain, this chicken is a lifesaver for you at a critical moment!" ”

"So, if you can lift the chicken, you have already helped the court and Your Highness, you can accept these five buckets of rice!"

The old man took three or four steps back in a row and shook his head: "Boss Shen, you want the old man to be poked in the backbone by the villagers!" ”

"I can't get these five buckets of rice!"

After speaking, it seemed that he was running away from the wilderness, and turned around and left directly!

Shen Wansan froze in place, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "Remember the old man's face, go back and see the situation of his family, if we buy things in the future, remember to take care of one or two!" ”

"Yes, let's do it for the little ones!"

Shen Wansan looked at a middle-aged man who was dressed more decently beside him, and said softly: "Lao Du, a donation channel is being set up, and all the people who donate chickens and ducks will accept it!" ”

"After registering, wait until these chickens and ducks are gone, and send three buckets of rice from door to door!"

"No!"

……

Gangnam!

When the sky was bright, Luo Chen and the others had already crossed the river by boat, and then there was another galloping horse!

"Someone!"

Luo Chen looked at the dozens of scouts behind him and shouted: "Every three people are a team, immediately go to each county, take my warrant, let them buy grain and grass, chickens and ducks from the family, and each county lieutenant, the county lieutenant will lead the soldiers from all over the country to approach in the direction of Nanyuan Mansion!" ”

"Within three days, everyone must gather in Nanyuan Mansion, and if there is any delay, they will be dealt with strictly!"

"No!"

The scout camp behind him directly dispersed, and Luo Chen said to Yu Yao: "Yu Yao, you go with me, and the others let the deputy general lead people to continue to approach Nanyuan Mansion!" ”

"Good!"

Yu Yao nodded, explained to the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and followed Luo Chen towards Pishan!

"Where are we going?"

Luo Chen smiled: "You'll know when you arrive!" ”

Luo Chen is indeed prepared, you know, from the beginning of getting the potato seeds, Luo Chen let the Peach Blossom Source start to store food, the 50,000 army is not only training, but also the arduous task of planting potatoes!

The two of them drove quickly until noon, and when Yu Yao saw Luo Chen taking him to the deep mountains and old forests, she suddenly became more and more puzzled: "Where are we going?" ”

Luo Chen said with a smile: "My father asked me to secretly form a new army in Jiangnan, this is our old nest, there is a secret place in this mountain, called Peach Blossom Spring, which contains 50,000 soldiers, Yue Fei and Niangniang are also here!" ”

Looking at Yu Yao's surprised look, Luo Chen smiled disappreciably and said softly, "Let's go in!" ”

After stating his identity, several guards directly led Luo Chen to see Xue Rengui, Luo Chen saw that the valley was green, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!

"See Your Highness!"

"Second brother, sister-in-law!"

Qin Liangshan also followed Xue Rengui out!

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, but there was no nonsense, and he asked directly: "Rengui!" ”

"How are potatoes grown?"

"Words back to Your Highness!" Yue Fei heard Luo Chen ask about the potatoes, and said with a smile: "Now these potatoes are in the third batch!" ”

"More than 3,000 acres have been planted, and in about a month and a half, it should be harvested!"

Luo Chen bowed slightly, and said softly: "How is the yield per mu?" ”

"Hahaha!" Before Yue Fei could speak, Qin Liangshan on the side said excitedly: "Second brother, you can never imagine how terrifying the yield of this potato is, it is simply a Zhenguo artifact!" ”

"How terrifying is that the yield of one mu can be thirty to fifty stones?"

"Our preliminary estimate, and let Mr. Jia calculate in detail, these 3,000 acres of potatoes can produce at least 10,000 stone of grain this time, which is still the most conservative estimate!"

Luo Chen bowed slightly, but his expression was not too surprised, one stone is more than a hundred catties, and thirty to fifty stones is about three thousand three hundred catties to five thousand catties!

It can be said that this output is very amazing, you know, even in later generations, careful management and various pesticides and fertilizers, the highest output is only 6,000 to 10,000 catties!

The ordinary output is 2,000 to 3,000 catties!

And the soil in this peach blossom source is fertile, and it is also expected by Luo Chen to reach a yield of three to five thousand catties per mu, so he didn't show too much surprise!

10,000 stone of grain is more than a million catties, and an adult man's most conservative estimate is at least one kilogram of grain, and the elderly and women need at least one pound a day!

One million catties of grain is enough for a million people to eat for a day, is it much?

Not much, really!

You must know that the six counties in Jiangbei and the seven prefectures in Jiangnan add up to more than 7 million people, and there are actually at least 10 million people!

There are more than one million people in a county, and it can be said that the division of the administrative area of Daxia is very rough, so there are many negligences in management on weekdays!

Now the locusts are starting to spread, and if they do, there will be about a month and a half before the harvest, which will be the time for the potato harvest!

The probability of the imperial court dispatching surplus grain is not large, and now the losses caused by the armies on the eastern battlefield and the tripartite border are all terrifying astronomical, so this time we can only rely on ourselves to save ourselves!

Luo Chen fell into a short thought, and he already had a decision in his heart!

"The area of this peach blossom source is large enough, at least it can reclaim 10,000 acres of fertile land, Pengju, now that there is a locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River, I want you to plant all kinds of crops in the shortest possible time, not only potatoes, but also many seeds!"

Luo Chen took out the sweet potato, tomato, cucumber and other seeds that had been prepared long ago from his arms!

"I've written out in detail how to grow these seeds, mainly wheat, corn and sweet potatoes!"

"And potatoes, be sure to speed up!"

"No!"
