Chapter 849 Every Family Has a Car

In fact, to be honest, many Hanzhong people still didn't believe that there would be an output of 10,000 kilograms of potatoes.

Although Bai Feng did not announce it in public, the yield of potatoes must be 10,000 kilograms.

However, most of them heard about it from merchants coming from Xuchang.

The number of potatoes grown on trial in Xuchang is 10,000 kilograms.

Due to the astonishing rice yield in the past, people have made guesses, but the most they can guess is that it could be three to four thousand kilograms.

After all, no one believes that the yield of a crop can reach 10,000 kilograms per mu.

However, now they have to believe it even if they don’t believe it.

The yield of potatoes is indeed so outrageous.

In fact, Hanzhong not only grows potatoes.

Corn, peanuts, sorghum, etc. are grown.

But most of them are not as big as potatoes.

The most cultivated area is corn, with an area of ​​150,000 acres.

However, there is still about a month or so before the rice matures.

After all, corn does have a lot of uses.

It can be used as a staple food and can also be used to extract oil.

Although Bai Feng told the people before.

But the people were just doubtful.

After all, they have never heard of corn.

It's edible, they believe it.

But being able to extract oil is a bit ridiculous, right?

But after this potato harvest.

They began to believe it.

This grain is very likely to be able to extract oil!

Now the potato production alone is enough to support the entire Wei Dynasty.

If it takes one month, no, two months at most, for all the crops to mature, wouldn't it mean that all the counties and granaries in the entire Wei Dynasty would be full?

With Potato's Pearl in front of him, everyone had to believe it.

In fact, Bai Feng also distributed some vegetable seeds to the people in Hanzhong.

However, Bai Feng does not encourage large-scale planting.

After all, for Wei now, the most important thing is staple food.

In fact, there are still many places in the Wei Dynasty suffering from droughts and floods.

Drought is more serious in the northern region, while floods are more serious in the south.

Planting cannot be done in places where disasters have occurred.

Even Bai Feng's seeds won't work.

After all, the seeds haven't even sprouted yet. If a wave of floods directly submerges them and the soil is gone, how can they still grow?

As for drought, there is nothing we can do about it.

Seeds require a lot of water to grow.

Without water, even the most tenacious food will have no way to grow.

After all, these are food, not cacti, so they cannot store water on their own.

Therefore, the importance of staple food must always be ranked first.

But even so, basically every farmer will grow some vegetables at home.

After all, this is Hanzhong, and with six rice harvests a year, they still have no shortage of food.

Now that I can eat enough, I will naturally divide a small area to grow vegetables and improve my own food.

They can eat these vegetables themselves or sell them for money.

After all, demand for vegetables is always in short supply.

Only rich people can afford vegetables.

Things are rare and valuable, and these people also made a lot of money.

Many people bought cement at their own expense and began to further decorate their houses.

Therefore, the prosperous scene of Hanzhong today exists.

This is not false prosperity, it is real.

Whether eating or selling, farmers will never lose money.

But that's not all. Hanzhong's business is not just about the development of food.

At this time, Cao Cao was already dumbfounded.

He never expected that no matter what the soil, no matter how well cared for, these potatoes would still surprise people.

As long as there are no major disasters, these potatoes will continue to grow.

At this time, the people all went to work in the fields.

There are still many potatoes that have not been dug out yet.

Therefore, Cao Cao also directly ordered Cao Chun to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to dig potatoes together.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

All civil and military officials, including Cao Cao, did not think this was anything to be ashamed of.

These are all blessings and gifts from God!

God gave Bai Feng a gift, and Bai Feng gave a gift to the entire Wei Dynasty.

Not only the tiger and leopard cavalry, but also the civil and military officials were excited to help dig potatoes on their own initiative.

Digging potatoes doesn’t require any skills anyway.

As long as you have a tool, or just find a tool that can dig the soil, it will be fine.

Just carefully dig out the potatoes buried in the soil.

Then, a strange thing happened in the fields of Hanzhong.

Many officials dressed in luxurious brocade uniforms were actually working in the fields!

However, the people working there didn't pay attention at all.

Because their heads basically never raised!

Cao Cao dug potatoes over and over while looking up at the beautiful scenery.

Countless people were bending over, with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky, digging potatoes one by one.

This was something that would have been unthinkable a year ago!

In the entire Wei Dynasty, not a single state, not a single county, not a single village had such a scene!

This is almost what exists in a dream.

However, today, it came true from Hanzhong!

What Cao Cao didn't know was that in fact, after selling the food and vegetables of these people, they did not simply keep them.

They go directly to buy young ones, whether they are livestock or birds, and keep them at home.

People can easily eat their fill, and livestock will naturally not starve to death.

These livestock eat fat and in vain. Even if there are disasters for several years, the people of Hanzhong still have meat to eat and food to eat.

Although Bai Feng had given them some before, he only selected a few reputable farmers and gave them to them to raise, trying to ensure that the price of meat in Hanzhong was not so expensive.

Because of the cleverness of the people, the price of meat in Hanzhong was abruptly reduced to a fraction of a percent of that in other states and counties.

Cao Chong looked at the potatoes all over the fields and roads, and couldn't help but ask Bai Feng:

"Sir, it is indeed a good thing to have so many potatoes, but how should we transport them better?"

"If everyone carries it home in baskets, wouldn't it mean that they may not be able to finish the transportation when the potatoes are rotten?"

Bai Feng smiled lightly and pursed his lips to the side:

"Isn't it okay to just use this?"

"Who said we have to transport it back bit by bit in bamboo baskets?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Chong couldn't help but look in the direction Bai Feng pointed.

At this time, several villagers were transporting potatoes in vehicles!

This car is made purely of wood and is very strong.

There are a lot of good woods in Hanzhong, and it is not difficult to make a car like this with these woods.

At least, it's not difficult for Ma Jun.

Therefore, Bai Feng asked Ma Jun, who had previously built the crossbow platform, to make some.
