Faced with Li Anran's words, Li Chengqian was stupid for a while on the spot before instinctively retorting:

"Thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties per mu? This...... That's impossible!! ”

"Why is it impossible, just because you haven't seen something, so you must not have zĂ i?" Li Anran, who was not surprised by this reaction, said with a smile.

"This ......" Li Chengqian, who wanted to refute, met the eyes that were as warm as jade, and suddenly thought in his heart:

"Senior brother, he is very likely to be an immortal disciple, so it is not impossible to produce thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties of grain per mu."

"But if there is such a treasure, then wouldn't Datang ......?"

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's face suddenly flushed with excitement and excitement.

"Faint!" Seeing the other party looking at himself "shyly", Li Anran couldn't help but feel a "creepy" feeling, thinking: "I'm not a, don't look at me like this!" ”

After quietly distancing himself from the other party a little more, Li Anran continued to paint the image of a teacher teaching his disciples, and said:

"Little junior brother, the first lesson that my brother taught you, don't question anything you haven't experienced, but look at it with a dialectical method."

"May I ask Senior Brother, what is the method of dialectic?" Li Chengqian, who had been thoroughly interested, asked with bright eyes.

"Huh...... Come, let's talk as we go. Li Anran finished with a smile. Turn around and continue walking towards the field.

Just when the two walked side by side, one talking, the other listening, and sometimes asking some questions to move forward, they saw Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda walking out of the corner with excited expressions.

"How many thousand catties or even tens of thousands of catties per mu? This...... Could this be the ...... That object, right? Looking at the figure in the distance, Cheng Yanjin said with an old face.

"No wonder Yun boy treasured that thing like something, if it was really this thing, wouldn't it be ...... in the future?"

Niu Jinda, who was also excited, didn't know what he thought of when he said this, but his face suddenly became sad and indignant. He still muttered:

"Why! Why! Why didn't this grain appear earlier. If it had appeared earlier, so-and-so's father, brother, and sister would not have ......"

Cheng Yanjin, who knew very well the situation at home as a deputy general, patted the other party's shoulder at the moment, and sighed but was not comforted. Because he who should have been comforted has already been comforted. There's no point in saying anything more.

After waiting for Niu Jinda to come out of the memories and grief and indignation for a while. The two stayed where they were for a while before returning to the Chinese camp.

For the kind of grain that can produce thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties per mu, the two of them were not in a hurry to send the news back to Chang'an City.

It's not that I don't want to say. But because this matter is very important, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can influence the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

Before he really figured it out, no matter whether it was Cheng Biting Jin or Niu Jinda, he didn't dare to send the news back.

"This is what the senior brother said about the grain that can yield thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties per mu?"

Looking at the small patch of lush greenery in front of him, Li Chengqian, who had been watered and fertilized during this period of time when he was cultivating farmland and watering and fertilizing, looked quite excited.

Squatting beside his cheap little junior brother, Li Anran, who knew very well the value of this thing to Datang, smiled and began to popularize science:

"It's called a potato, and we'll call it a potato, and it's a perennial herb in the Solanaceae family, and it's eaten on tubers hidden underground."

"It is suitable for planting in sandy loam soil, with high starch content, in addition to being eaten as food and vegetables, it also has the medicinal value of detoxification and swelling."

"Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu is about 4,000 catties, if the soil and climate are suitable, coupled with good management, it is not difficult to yield 10,000 catties per mu."

Li Chengqian, who knew very well what this thing would mean to Datang if it could really yield a few thousand catties per mu, remembered these words very carefully, and he couldn't directly engrave them in his mind.

I have to admit that in addition to being the eldest son, Li Chengqian himself is also an extremely intelligent person.

After his senior brother finished speaking and felt that he had written it down, he grasped the key question as soon as he opened his mouth and asked:

"Senior brother, you said that this potato is suitable for planting in sandy loam soil, doesn't this mean that planting this potato will not encroach on fertile land?"

"Senior brother, you are very smart, and you will get to the point as soon as you ask." Li Anran, who nodded with a smile, said:

"That's right, this thing doesn't need to be planted in good land, and even if it does, it will affect the yield."

"The most suitable soil is sandy loam and is very adaptable to the environment and climate."

"That'...... How long does it take to harvest? Seeing that his cheap senior brother was not joking, Li Chengqian, stretched out his hand to touch the potatoes in front of him as he spoke, but he was worried that he would be damaged.

Seeing that his cheap little junior brother asked the key points one after another, Li Anran nodded secretly, and at the same time, he did not forget to continue to popularize science:

"Depending on the soil, climate, management, etc., the harvest time of potatoes is also different."

"Normally, it only takes one to two months from germination to harvest, and two to three months if it's slower."

"What the senior brother is looking at is planted for the elder brother and your second senior brother before, although it has not yet reached the harvest period, it is also soon."

"I believe that it won't be long before the little junior brother can witness with his own eyes how much the yield per mu of this thing is."

At this point, Li Chengqian was almost sure that the thing in front of him would not be fake, and at the moment he turned his head with a force that made someone hurt to look at it, and asked:

"Senior brother, this ...... Is this true? ”

"Huh...... Whether it is true or not, it will naturally be clear when the harvest day comes. Li Anran, who knew what the other party was worried about, stood up and said with a smile:

"For now, let's get the ground right, this potato can't be eaten for the time being, but for my brother, I can get the fried potato seedlings and let you taste it."

"Stir-fried potato seedlings?" Li Chengqian, who didn't react for a while, said with some confusion.

"It's the young leaves of potatoes, and this thing can also be used as a vegetable." Li Anran, who pinched a piece of tender seedlings, said with a smile.

"Senior brother, won't this hurt the potatoes?" Looking at the tender green seedlings in the other party's hands, Li Chengqian said with a distressed face.

"Huh...... Don't worry, just picking some young seedlings will not only not affect the yield of potatoes, but also help the growth of potatoes as long as they are in moderation. ”

Li Anran, who gave an explanation with a smile, naturally would not say that the reason why the potato seedlings in front of him could be eaten was because of his own hands.

Otherwise, with the characteristics of potatoes, after sprouting, they will bring some harmful and useless elements to the human body.

At the same time, this potato can mature in one to two months, and the yield per mu is not a problem, all because of Li Anran's hands.

Otherwise, with this potato variety brought by Yun Ye, in an era of backward agriculture like Datang, it is purely a dream to achieve such a high yield.

As for the question of why potato seedlings can be eaten, and the growth cycle is significantly shorter than normal, and the yield is also higher.

Li Anran naturally still pushed the incidental role of time and space travel, after all, even Yun Ye can become a martial arts master in a short period of time, and this change in potatoes can be regarded as nothing.

Not only that, but the peppers, corn, and the spices that he brought that were not ground into powder, Li Anran had all made preliminary improvements.

Once these things are planted in the clouds, not only will they be able to survive, but they will also far exceed the original in terms of yield and adaptability to soil and climate.

As for why the potatoes were taken out, it was not Li Anran's decision alone.

Instead, after discussing it with Yun Ye, he felt that since this thing would definitely not be hidden, it would be better to take the opportunity of Li Chengqian's appearance to poke it out directly.

It is just the right opportunity to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and at the same time, he can also brush up on his favorability with Li Erma.

I believe that there is a salt-making technology first, and then there is a method of training, coupled with the auspicious rui that can produce tens of thousands of catties per mu, as well as the previous intention to show the strength of the two enemies and the weak to defeat the strong.

Li Anran and Yun Ye both believed that as long as this sage and virtuous monarch had no problem with his brain, he would definitely not and would not dare to mess with his senior brothers. (To be continued......)
