Chapter 846 Changes in Hanzhong

As expected, when Bai Feng arrived at the Prefect's Mansion.

Liu Ba then rushed over and said:

"Master Marquis, our potatoes in Hanzhong are about to mature and it's time to harvest!"

Bai Feng was still very excited at this time.

This is actually the first time Hanzhong potatoes have matured.

Potatoes, unlike corn, require a longer time to mature.

Almost 100,000 acres of potatoes are planted throughout Hanzhong.

Of course this does not include those grown by some farmers.

These farmers did not plant with the same group. Most of them took the initiative to receive the seeds and planned to plant them to see what they would look like.

This can be seen from the home of the ninety-five-year-old man before.

The corn in their house has matured, but the potatoes have just sprouted.

However, this does not represent the entire Hanzhong today.

The potato harvest season in Hanzhong is coming soon.

How much can be harvested from one hundred thousand acres of potatoes?

This is not what Guang Baifeng, or the people of Guang Hanzhong, expected.

The whole world is looking forward to it.

After all, no one knows what this potato is or how to eat it.

They had never heard of it.

However, after this harvest in Hanzhong, it will definitely give them a big surprise!

In fact, the common people are quite repulsive to this kind of food that they have never eaten before.

Of course, right now, no one would be picky about food during the previous drought years.

But now that there is such a high yield of corn, who wants to eat anything else?

Therefore, if they were asked to dig out the corn from the ground and plant potatoes, they would definitely be unwilling to do so.

Even if Cao Cao forced it to be implemented, they would never agree to it.

Even if he agrees, Cao Cao will lose a lot of people's support.

However, unless the potatoes are ripe, these people will be alienated from Wei.

This kind of behavior of blocking people's way is very hateful.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Cao to do such a thing.

Therefore, when planting at that time, Cao Cao expressed his hope that Bai Feng's Hanzhong could make a difference.

At that time, Hanzhong didn’t even know how barren it was.

No matter what you plant, it will not mature.

Bai Feng made the first impression and asked Cheng Yu to help him find 100,000 acres of land and sow potatoes at the same time.

In other places, rice that matures quickly is grown.

With rice to eat, these people no longer care about their potato fields.

After all, rice can make you full. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this thing could really be eaten?

This is because the people in Hanzhong support Bai Feng very much, that's why they are like this.

If it were placed in other counties and cities, the people would definitely be unhappy.

But to be honest, the yield of these rice is enough in the eyes of the people.

But in Bai Feng's eyes, the output is still far from enough.

This is just enough to satisfy the hunger, and not everyone can have such a large field at home like the old man before.

Some people only have one acre of land at home.

The corn harvested from one acre of land is enough for them to eat for two months.

How is this possible?

If something unexpected happens, such as a locust plague or an insect plague, wouldn't these people have no food left at all?

When the time comes, they will all starve to death.

But potatoes are different.

The yield of potatoes itself is very high, and with the addition of these seeds enhanced by the system, the yield is definitely much higher than that of rice.

Although they taste completely different from rice, potatoes can not only be used as a staple food, but can also be turned into stir-fried vegetables.

Nowadays, many people in the world can have enough to eat, but not many can afford food.

Therefore, the cultivation of potatoes is of great importance.

And, this is also a start.

After everyone is willing to accept potatoes, other crops can be planted.

In this case, people will not be repulsive.

After all, it was Zhuyu who came first.

Moreover, planting just one crop is actually very harmful to the soil.

If you keep planting corn, there will be a lot of corn at the beginning, and then it will become less and less.

Eventually, the corn may even stop growing.

This really has nothing to do with the seeds, but the soil.

Therefore, different seeds must be planted.

In this way, we can ensure maximum utilization of the soil.

And, to be honest, no matter how delicious corn is, you can’t eat corn all the time, right?

No matter what, you have to change your taste.

Moreover, there are countless people who have plenty of fertile land at home. If they all grow rice, there will only be more and more food in granaries and cellars.

We can’t let them rot by then, right?

Therefore, we can only plant other grains when there is enough rice to eat.

In this way, you can not only ensure that you are not hungry, but also ensure that you eat well.

In fact, not only potatoes, but also peanuts, green onions, corn, etc., as well as some fruits and vegetables, can be grown.

Especially now, the Wei Dynasty has just won a lot of territory.

The wasteland in these countries can be mined and planted, and finally it can be ensured that the people of the entire Wei Dynasty can have enough to eat.

To be honest, Cao Cao was also very concerned about the potatoes being ripe soon.

However, he actually had no idea whether these potatoes would have a high yield as Bai Feng said.

It's delicious. Cao Cao himself tasted it.

Sweet and waxy, extremely sweet.

However, this output is really not easy to guarantee.

Therefore, many people's eyes are focused on Hanzhong today.

The common people in Hanzhong were also excited.

They are thinking that the potatoes grown at home must not yield too little.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing to Mr.

Therefore, several farmers came to their fields and secretly dug up a small piece of soil.

According to the method Bai Feng said, he dug the potatoes buried in the ground with his bare hands.

One, two, three...

In just ten minutes, you can produce hundreds of potatoes!

The farmers were shocked and continued digging.

At the very least, it can be used to estimate how many potatoes you can grow in one acre of land!

Thinking of this, everyone was extremely excited, and even the hands digging potatoes were trembling.

At this time, Bai Feng was not idle either. He took Yan Pu and Liu Ba to visit the people.

Seeing everyone nervously digging ripe potatoes, Bai Feng couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

Bai Feng is still very confident about the potato yield.

After all, the products produced by the system must be high-quality products.

Thinking that the entire Wei Dynasty would be able to eat potatoes that did not belong to this dynasty, Bai Feng felt this inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Moreover, when the potato harvest was officially announced, it wasn't just Bai Feng who wanted to see it.

Cao Cao and many civil and military ministers will come to visit!
