Chapter 42 Sweet Potatoes? !

As soon as he heard the word treasure, Qin Shuo's eyes lit up, thinking that he could still have some magical weapon, but as soon as he went out, he saw a few people digging a piece of grass.

"What treasure? Is this piece of grass a treasure? Ancient herbs?"

The person who just yelled was Old Jiang, so Qin Shuo also joked at Old Jiang.

"Remember the special product I mentioned earlier? It seems to be the grass in front of me, this is it."

Jiang Lao replied excitedly.

Qin Shuo didn't dare to take it lightly when he heard this. He remembered what Jiang Lao had said before, and hurriedly walked among the few people.

At this time, several people had dug out the grass on the ground, but there were also a few small yellow clods rolled out at the bottom, which seemed to be his fruits.

Seeing the small clods on the ground, Qin Shuo suddenly felt like he was about to suffocate, suffocated with joy.

How could something like this appear in this day and age? My God, after having this thing, I no longer have to worry about food in my future rise.

"This can't be a sweet potato, but why does it appear in this era?"

Suppressing his surprise, Qin Shuo took another deep breath, and a doubt suddenly appeared in his mind.

But after thinking about it for a while, I don't understand

Later, I simply blamed it on a bug in the system, but this bug is too big.

Qin Shuo naturally checked the properties of this sweet potato for the first time, wanting to see if he was wrong.

【Item】: Sweet Potato

[Level]: God

【Properties】: Sweet and sweet, used for satiety, source unknown.

【Production】：Extremely high.

Qin Shuo was at a loss when he saw these genus, but he was not surprised that this simple sweet potato was rated as a god-level crop, because it was worth it.

The earliest legend is that sweet potatoes were obtained in the Ming Dynasty when a Fujianese Chen Zhenlong went to Luzon to trade, which coincided with the famine in central Fujian.

Chen Zhenlong was also very worried, so he sent the crop to the then governor Jin Xuezeng for trial planting. In the end, it really achieved good results, which greatly alleviated such a famine.

The main crops during the Three Kingdoms period were mainly rice and wheat, but due to the backward productivity, the yield per mu was basically less than a stone.

There are not as many crops as there are now, which is one of the reasons why there were many famines in ancient China, that is, the productivity and production relations were too backward.

Although it pursues intensive cultivation, it is very rough compared to modern times, and it does not know how to cultivate crops.

.

Although there are thousands of acres of fertile fields in the vicinity of Shuobai Village, it is only enough for 3,000 people to eat.

But now with sweet potatoes, this situation will be greatly improved. Although it is not possible to use sweet potatoes as a staple food, it can save general food.

The drought resistance of sweet potato is very strong. Unlike wheat and rice, it can grow under the condition of insufficient rain, but it can speed up its growth during severe drought.

The yield per mu is about ten stone, which is more metamorphic than those crops, and even has a gap of almost ten times, and the growth cycle is relatively short.

If there was such a thing long ago, perhaps there would not have been so many peasant uprisings in ancient times, and so many people would not have starved to death.

After thinking of this, Qin Shuo couldn't hold back his excitement again, and his luck was like a pervert.

"Don't tell anyone about this, not even the closest people."

Qin Shuo walked to Jiang Lao's side and said in a low voice.

The common man is innocent, but he is guilty of guilt. If he shows this thing rashly without the protection of strength, he will bring about the disaster of death.

It's not that he doesn't want to share this stuff.

Come, presumably even if he took out the seeds, he would eventually be snatched away by a certain force, and would not be made public to the world.

I want to be a benevolent and righteous person, but on top of this premise, I also have to ensure my own interests. This sweet potato may spread naturally in a few years, but it is definitely not now.

After digging out the sweet potato, Qin Shuo handed it over to Elder Jiang, and asked him to take a few people to open up an open space in a remote place in the back mountain to plant this plant exclusively.

But that piece of open space will be one of the most heavily guarded places in the village, and no one is allowed to approach it except farmers in the usual planting areas.

This will be a great weapon for Qin Shuo to fight the world in the future. The troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass will go first, and now he is accumulating food and grass.

Of course, this sweet potato cannot crowd other crops too much. After all, sweet potato cannot be used as a staple food. If it is really used as a military ration, it is estimated that after the soldiers go to the battlefield, the entire battlefield will become a yellow ocean.

Qin Shuo also inquired about the method of planting sweet potatoes, and then told Lao Jiang, which was also very easy.

The god-level Wuping does not mean that it has any special abnormal effect, but that things that are beyond the common sense of this era can be defined as god-level things.

Yellow-level items are ordinary things, Xuan-level items are sophisticated items, and earth-level items are very rare items.

The west and the sky are the things that stand at the top of this world.

Qin Shuo still remembered that in his previous life, he once met a warlock with a strange accent, but his tongue was eloquent, holding a pack of yellow medicine powder in his hand, saying that it could increase food production.

At that time, I didn't know why I bought the package of medicinal powder, but after I went back and sprinkled it, I realized that I had been cheated, but he still remembered the advertising slogan of the Jianghu Warlock.

Using Jinkela, the yield per mu is one thousand eighteen.

At this time, Da Qiao in Wancheng seemed to be talking about something with Duke Qiao. On weekdays, Da Qiao, who is unsmiling and has a very strict tutor, is also dancing and talking about what he has seen this time.

When Da Qiao said that the villagers in Shuobai Village treated Qin Shuo with courtesy, Duke Qiao had a better impression of Qin Shuo, at least he knew that Qin Shuo should be regarded as a more benevolent lord.

The Qiao family is a family heirloom of poetry and books, and naturally they highly respect the benevolence and righteousness in Confucianism.

When Da Qiao said that the villagers in Shuobai Village were all red-faced, they didn't look like other people at all, and Duke Qiao was already a little moved, which showed that Qin Shuo was also a relatively capable lord.
