Through Time Chapter 106

“A thousand pounds?”

Zhao Lang nodded, not bad.

What is the average yield of potatoes?

As far as Zhao Lang knows, in his last life, the yield of 10,000 pounds per mu was also there!

Those with three or four thousand catties were all lazy.

But this potato now could not be compared to those in the previous life, which had been cultivated with all kinds of technology and selected seeds.

A thousand catties is not bad.

And Tian Lao and the others have been keeping records and observing.

By the time they have figured out the individual growth habits of the potatoes, they will choose the best of the best when selecting the seeds, and the yield will naturally increase slowly in the future.

For now, the result is already very good.

At the very least, Zhao Lang looked at the almost completely dumbfounded crowd in the field and knew that everyone was still very satisfied.

“Father, let’s not stand still either, let’s collect the grain first.”

Zhao Lang said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes! Gongzi Lang is right!”

Zhao Gao said hurriedly.

As he said this, he was also cradling the potatoes around himself into his arms.

“Uncle Zhao, don’t get so excited, these grains can’t escape.”

Zhao Lang said with a smile, then helped Zhao Gao up.

Zhao Gao looked a bit wretched.

But no one laughed at him, everyone’s situation was no better now.

Even Tian Lao and Wang Jian, two old men who had been through the world for a long time, were looming and trembling with a few potatoes.

They had seen too much and understood better than these people what it meant.

It was Qin Shi Huang who came back to his senses first and said that

“Gather up all the grain, not a single one should be left behind.”

“Go back to the farm first.”

Soon everyone was on the move.

It also showed Zhao Lang what it meant to dig into the ground.

Although he said it, potatoes don’t grow that deep.

But these people just straight up turned a deaf ear.

It wasn’t until the field didn’t even need a plough to be ploughed a second time that the men stopped.

Protected by the teenagers, they returned to the farm.

The potatoes were pulled straight to his room.

Zhao Lang couldn’t even stop him, the cellar vacated on the manor was considered a waste of work.

Putting the potatoes away, Qin Shi Huang asked Wang Jian, Zhao Gao and Li Si to stay behind, and then said to Zhao Lang that

“Long’er, all these potatoes, father will take away.”

Zhao Long’s heart was slightly moved, but his face frowned and he said.

“Father, what are you taking these potatoes away for? The eight hundred mu of land at home is just enough to grow them.”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head to.

“This grain is not like any other crop, eight hundred acres of land planted together will be easily discovered, it is still too unsafe here,”

Zhao Lang’s frown deepened at once, revealing a few worried expressions and said.

“But what then? There’s only so much land at home.”

When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but with potatoes on his mind, he did not think deeply and said directly.

“No matter, the family still has a few farms in the north, where the place is large, the land is fertile, and there are not many people.”

“Just right for growing potatoes.”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up, and he said that Pop must still have a farm outside.

So he hastened to say that

“Father, I think what you say makes sense.”

“But this new crop is also unfamiliar to the general public, and my farm people are just the right people to look after them.”

“Hmm! I’ve got an idea, why don’t I just have the farm people follow and plant them!”

“Then it’s settled!”

“Father, wait a moment ah, I’ll go and get Uncle Fu, let’s get a good idea of the situation on the farm.”

Zhao Lang said and left, not giving Qin Shi Huang a chance to respond.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang’s busy figure and couldn’t help but nod his head gratefully.

Showing a smile, he spoke to the others, saying

“Look guys, Long’er is just a relief, he has thought of all these things.”

“Hmph, if only more of the others could be like Long’er, I would have a much easier time.”

When Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, the few people in the room did not reply.

One by one, their faces looked a little odd.

Qin Shi Huang froze slightly and said that

“What is the matter with you all? Is there something wrong?”

The people wanted to say something but stopped.

“Wu Cheng Hou, tell me.”

Qin Shi Huang spoke .

Wang Jian’s face was solemn as he said that

“I congratulate Your Majesty on the joy of the new grain.”

The First Emperor of Qin nodded his head and

“This is indeed worth celebrating.”

But Zhao Gao and Li Si still looked constipated.

Qin Shi Huang frowned, he did not have the leisure to beat around the bush with these people and spoke directly to Zhao Gao, saying

“Zhao Gao! What do you want!”

Zhao Gao’s body shook and he gave a smile and said.

“Your Majesty, it seems that you have just given those few stately homes in the north, to Gong Zi Lang.”

“When did I…”

Before Qin Shi Huang could finish his sentence, he froze.

He said how that phrase sounded somewhat familiar.

In the end, Qin Shi Huang could only smile and shake his head.

“This kid…”

The gains from those few farms in the north were not small.

Of course, compared to potatoes, it’s nothing.

Just then, Zhao Lang walked in with Uncle Fu and said enthusiastically that

“Father, Uncle Fu is here, we still have to move a bit faster here.”

“Plant another wave while the weather is still cool.”

Zhao Gao looked to Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand, and Zhao Gao went out to call the men and prepare to hand over the farm.

It was in the room, buzzing with activity.

In the manor where several of Tian Lao’s men were, however, it was somewhat quiet.

“Elder Tian, what’s wrong with you, why don’t you seem so happy about today’s bumper harvest?”

Xu Yue asked as he reclined comfortably on the recliner made by Zhao Lang.

Watching the fields these days had exhausted him.

Huang, who didn’t talk much on the side, was also a bit puzzled.

Tian Lao did not know to what he was thinking, and when he heard the question, he hesitated and said that

“You guys say, if the Lord of my farming family was the emperor of this Great Qin, what would happen then.”

Snap!

As soon as Tian Lao’s words fell, Xu Yue fell straight out of his recliner.

There was a crunching sound.

Mr. Huang’s mouth also grew slightly.

Xu Yue climbed up and looked down at the door with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang watching.

Only then did he mutter with a bitter smile that

“Elder Tian, where are you thinking of?”

“Our farming family has now broken its bones, how can we have such strength.”

Tian Lao, however, said without moving his voice.

“And what if?”

Xu Yue climbed back into his recliner and smiled as he said

“Elder Tian, if that day does come, it will be a great joy for the farmers of the world!”

“Think about it, the emperor is one of our own, how could our peasant family not prosper? Hahaha!”

“But how is that possible?”

Hearing these words, Tian Lao seemed to release something that

“You are right, the emperor is one of our own, and it is indeed a great joy for the farmers of the world.”

“As for whether it is possible, the old man is going to live as long as he can.”

“One can always see things that don’t often happen when one lives longer.”

For example, a few years ago, he had seen this Emperor of the Great Qin travelling with his Central Secretary and Prime Minister.
