Chapter 2216: Be Patient and Don’t Be Overbearing

"Dr. Li, can I...ask something?"

A common man stopped eating the sweet potatoes after taking one bite and was about to take them home. He looked cautious.

"Ask!" Li Yi was not like Zaifu. If Zaifu wanted to say this, he would reply: No!

"Sweet potatoes are delicious. Can we grow carrots and onions in the future?" The people looked very nervous.

"The seeds brought back from overseas will be planted for you when there are enough seeds." Li Yi nodded.

"Great, Mr. Li, how much sweet potatoes can you produce per acre?" The people asked again about the yield.

"Hey!" Li Yi sighed: "The current technology is not good enough, and one acre can only produce about twenty stones."

'puff! ’ The roasted sweet potato fell to the ground.

"How much?" Several people asked at the same time, wondering if they heard correctly.

They eat roasted sweet potatoes and think they can be used as food, twenty dan per acre? How many kilograms is that? How can there be so many?

"Don't worry, we are working hard to cultivate it. Maybe we can have sweet potatoes with an yield of forty shi per mu in the future."

Li Yi promised with a sincere look on his face that we are working hard to have enough food for everyone.

"When can we plant it? Boss Li, let me buy seeds. Can the seeds I buy for one penny be able to plant an acre?"

"Dr. Li, my land is good. You can ask people to plant seeds and leave some for me."

"Proprietor, I will exchange half of my land for seeds."

"Proprietor, I have a daughter."

"How can you have a daughter? Isn't the son you just gave birth to?"

"If you have another baby, you will be a daughter, do you believe it?"

The common people have spoken out and want to plant sweet potatoes.

It costs ten yuan per catty, and people who buy a lot of it are short of breath. One acre of land can produce more than two thousand catties, and if it is roasted and sold, it will cost more than twenty thousand yuan.

If you choose good land, fertilize it, and find someone to look after it carefully, you might be able to earn thirty or forty thousand dollars per acre.

Where are the sweet potatoes grown? It's clearly a pumpkin.

Li Yi listened with a smile. He had achieved his goal. If he gave the people seeds to sow, the people would be suspicious. Let the people ask for the seeds themselves. It would be very easy to promote it.

Even if after planting, you find that a pound can be sold for less than ten yuan, it is still a large amount of food.

If it cannot be eaten by people, is difficult to preserve and sell, it is used to feed livestock.

In fact, the vermicelli workshop can just collect it and produce a large amount of sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. You, Boss Li, please say something."

Someone saw a group of people talking and shouting loudly to no avail.

The surrounding area quieted down, waiting for Li Yi to make a sound.

Li Yi took the trumpet: "Starting from next year, sweet potatoes will be planted on some good land. Except for small sweet potatoes that are not in good quality, the rest will be purchased by the imperial court as seeds for planting in other places in the Tang Dynasty.

Our Henan Prefecture is one of the seed production bases. After the Chinese New Year, newspapers will write about which piece of land to choose for planting. We need to talk to the person who has the land title separately. "

Li Yi told the arrangement that he would still get seeds next year, so there would be less to eat.

I believe the people know better than to eat the seeds.

"Okay, Mr. Li, how many sweet potatoes can you plant in a year?" the common people shouted again.

Li Yi: "..."

Can you stop saying this? What is Li Dongzhu sweet potato? You are the sweet potato! You little melon!

"It's similar to other crops, one crop in the north and two in the south."

After Li Yi cursed secretly, he still had to answer.

"Li Dongzhu sweet potato...how many seeds are needed for one acre of land?" the person continued to ask.

Li Yi took a deep breath: "We usually use thirty-eight to forty pounds of seeds for our acres, one acre is 540 square meters, and one pound is 640 grams."

Li Yi calculated while talking. One acre of land planted with sweet potato seedlings would cost about thirty kilograms, or sixty kilograms, or five hundred grams per kilogram.

Datangmu is a small catty, so if you calculate it, it is thirty-eight catties, or six hundred and forty grams per catty.

When Li Yi checked the information, he had to convert it himself, otherwise it would be a waste and a detriment to farmers.

The people trust Lijiazhuangzi. If there are more seeds, the people will eat less.

There are also mineral fertilizers used too much, which will cause damage to the land.

The information states that 200 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer should be applied to one acre of land, so I copied it directly.

As a result, the amount used exceeded 0.58 times, which is equivalent to more than 310 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer used in one acre of land.

Not only was the money spent, but the results were also compromised.

"Dong Li, the sweet potato...do you need to water it frequently?" This person still had questions.

Li Yi has calmed down: "How much water to pour depends on how much water is lacking in the ground. If there is a lot of rain, it will be drained out. It will be written in the newspaper."

"Can it be written in the newspaper? If I had known, I wouldn't have asked."

The person who asked regretted it. It seemed that talking too much would be a loss for him. This is the meaning of talking too much.

Li Yi glanced at him and considered whether to ask the drone to keep an eye on him, and then go to beat his sap himself at night and put a sack on him first.

While talking, a large batch of sweet potatoes were roasted, unlike when they are sold normally.

The roasted sweet potatoes here are sold one at a time, so try to choose ones of the same size and cook them together.

"I'll buy a thousand catties." Someone came over and threw a bunch of money into the money box. As a result, the exchange coupons fell to the ground when the wind blew the snow.

The surrounding area became quiet, and everyone looked at him together.

He trembled, for the bow was drawn and pointed at him, and the arrow was cocked.

As if they sensed their master's thoughts, at least twenty mountain guard dogs next to him lowered their bodies, making no sound, and stared at him.

"Okay!" Li Yi said and stepped forward, UUreadingwww.uukanshu.net picked up the fallen exchange coupons, wiped the snow on his clothes and put them in his pocket.

Someone from behind brought him a new white coat and changed him into a new one. They also used medical alcohol to wash his hands.

"I...I..." This person was slow to react. He wanted to pick it up, but he was afraid and couldn't keep up with the speed.

Li Yi picked up a sweet potato and weighed it with a scale: "It's exactly one thousand kilograms. Come and see if it's enough?"

"Enough, I know without looking at the scale, it's too much. Li Dongzhu's hand on the scale is good, it's raised high. Thank you Li Dongzhu."

This person nodded vigorously, no problem, he gave more.

Because the one who collected the money was Princess Yongmu, throwing the money on the ground and asking Princess Yongmu to pick it up? Do you want to throw a bone for your majesty to eat?

"Here, wrapped!" Li Yi wrapped it with rough paper and handed it over.

The other party took it, lowered his head and walked back. It was probably because his body was hot and melted the snow, and water appeared at the position of his legs.

The people who came with him looked at each other and left.

"Go and tell him to bring a few roasted sweet potatoes. Everyone must eat one." Princess Yongmu ordered.

The other party was probably used to it. He had money, threw money, and cut in line, but he forgot who he was facing.

If I hadn't said it, the man would have been buried in a few days, and I would have scared myself to death.

Li Yi continued to weigh the sweet potatoes: "Just half a catty!"

"Thank you, brother, I will study hard in the future."

The child who used the progress award voucher took the more than two catties of sweet potatoes and promised Li Yi.

He looked at Xia Yaohua sitting next to him, nodded, turned around and trotted away.

The clothes he wore were not bad, proving that his family was well-off. He was rewarded for his progress in the exam, but he was rewarded again.

He was embarrassed, his was a progress award, and others had not only poems on it, but also plum blossom patterns.

They were all one-cent vouchers, and the difference was obvious when compared.
