"Holy Lord, what are sweet potato seedlings, please forgive Weichen for being stupid, the minister has never heard of it, and he doesn't know how to plant this sweet potato seedling, and how to care for it, this ...... It's really a bit embarrassing to die Weichen. ”

Si Nong Siqing's face was loveless, Tang Yu suddenly gave him a new crop for him to plant, isn't it embarrassing for him? Tang Yu saw him like this, and smiled: "This thing is easy to plant, I will tell you about it and you will understand, this sweet potato seedling is already half a foot long, when planting, you dig a pit, insert this sweet potato seedling into it, and then water it, and after the water penetrates the soil, just seal the seedling with soil." ”

Li Yu said like this, Sinong Siqing was stunned after hearing this, and said: "Shengshang, this is the end, how do you need to take care of it later?" "The later care is also simple, the vitality of the sweet potato seedlings is vigorous, as long as they don't die, they don't need to water in the future, but they will keep growing virtual roots, these virtual roots can't let them grow casually, when the time comes, you have to turn the sweet potatoes every once in a while, so that in the autumn, the sweet potatoes will grow, and the sweet potatoes are delicious."

At this time, Sinong Siqing had already understood how sweet potatoes were grown, and after thinking for a while, he responded.

However, he also knew that although he should come down, it was not easy to promote sweet potatoes.

And Tang Yu only knows how to tell him things, but Tang Yu doesn't care how difficult the details are.

After Si Nong Siqing went back, he saw those sweet potato seedlings in the warehouse, which were sweet potato seedlings one by one, and they were all crisp at this time.

When Sinong Siqing saw this, he immediately ordered: "Put these sweet potato seedlings into a carriage for me, call our people, and follow me to the fields." ”

"My lord, what is this going to do, what is this thing?"

"Of course, I'm going to plant sweet potatoes, as for what this thing is, how do I know, anyway, the Holy One let me plant it, then we'll plant it."

Si Nong Siqing was also very depressed, but what could he do?

Soon, all the sweet potato seedlings were loaded into trucks and pulled to the fields.

Outside Chang'an City, many people are busy, some of them are planting corn, some are planting beans, after Sinong Siqing came, he summoned them.

"This year, the imperial court wants to promote a new crop, sweet potatoes, so don't use corn and fights in your fertile fields, and plant sweet potatoes."

After Sinong Siqing came, he directly issued the order, but these people didn't know what sweet potatoes were, and now let them not plant corn and plant sweet potatoes instead, where are they willing?

"My lord, after we planted wheat, we planted corn and soybeans, the harvest is enough for our daily needs, and there is money for us to sell, so why don't we plant corn and soybeans?"

"Yes, we have been used to growing corn in the past few years, and we are also very satisfied with this life, why do we want to grow sweet potatoes?"

"Also, what the hell is this sweet potato, can you eat it or not, can you eat it full?"

"We don't grow sweet potatoes......"

People have a habit, when they get used to a crop, and this crop, and it doesn't make them hungry, they naturally won't accept other new crops, after all, it's risky.

And the efficiency of farming is too low, and it takes half a year to harvest, so they can't afford it.

So, unfamiliar things, they don't want to plant.

Seeing this situation, Sinong Siqing's face was a little unsightly, he had dealt with these farmers and ordinary people all the year round, he knew these people too well, and he was too familiar with them, so he had long known that when promoting sweet potatoes, they would encounter a lot of troublesome things.

Now, that's the first trouble.

The people are not willing to plant sweet potatoes, but this is ordered by the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, and it can't be planted if you don't plant it. Looking at these people who were in high spirits, Sinong Siqing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, okay, your thoughts, the officials understand, but this is the arrangement of the Holy One, so you must plant sweet potatoes, you can rest assured, after you plant the sweet potatoes, after a few months, all."

Sweet potatoes, the imperial court purchased, how much money you used to grow corn and soybeans can be sold, how much money we bought the sweet potatoes you planted, this is always okay, right? ”

Si Nong Siqing doesn't know what sweet potatoes are, and they don't know if sweet potatoes are better than corn and soybeans, but Li Yu said that this sweet potato can be used as dry food, so after they buy it, they can use it to make grain and grass, which is a little better than buying corn, right?

Therefore, Sinong Siqing made his own decisions, regardless of profit or loss, just for a year.

When these people heard that the imperial court was willing to buy sweet potatoes, they did not continue to shout, but there were still people who asked.

"If the imperial court is willing to buy sweet potatoes, it will naturally be good, but we will not grow sweet potatoes."

"It's, it's just, we can't plant, can't help it?"

“…………”

"Everyone rest assured, the sweet potato is very good, dig a pit, insert the seedlings into it, and water it, and as long as it is alive after planting, you don't have to worry about the rest, you just need to turn over the vines every once in a while......"

Sinong Siqing told these people how to grow sweet potatoes, of course, he just repeated what Li Yu said, after he finished saying this, the people immediately became excited again when they heard that it was so convenient to grow sweet potatoes.

Whether they plant corn or soybeans, in fact, it is very troublesome, corn to remove insects, weeds, but also to prevent corn from growing wildly, the most important thing, it is very troublesome when harvesting, the pole is not easy to pull out, and sometimes even delay the planting of wheat.

This is especially true of soybeans, and hulling is a big project.

And sweet potatoes, you only need to plant them and plane them out, such a convenient thing, if you don't do it, it will be a bit too much.

Moreover, sweet potato leaves can also be steamed and fried, which is undoubtedly some rations for them.

"Plant sweet potatoes, we grow sweet potatoes."

"We also plant, and we also plant ......"

The people were very active all of a sudden, so many sweet potato seedlings, and they were quickly divided into a fine light, seeing this situation, Sinong Siqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, thinking that after the sweet potatoes are ripe, he will have to pay for them, he will have a pain in his flesh, if he loses money, will Li Yu punish him?

However, in this situation, they can't care so much, so they can only plant it first and see how the harvest goes, if it is really good, then he may have a reward. Today's Sinong Siqing can only comfort himself like this, telling himself that what he did was right.
