Chapter 58: This reward is just right.
Today's court meeting was obviously very lively, and the result satisfied most people.

Wu Zetian had killed many ministers in the past, so she naturally knew that these were invisible bombs, and she never knew when they would cause a great crisis for her.

But today's fuss not only freed her from worrying about these things, but also won praise from hundreds of officials for it!

As for the officials, knowing that after Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing were dealt with in this way, other cruel officials in the court would naturally be afraid and would not dare to be so arrogant in the future. Today's overturning of the case for many colleagues has also allowed them to get rid of the resentment that they have been holding in their chests for a long time. Resolve.

After today, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became much more harmonious.

Looking at the streets and alleys outside, cries of joy were everywhere. The curses against the court were reduced by [-]%, and they were more grateful to Wu Zetian, and grateful to Yang Yanzhang for speaking up and risking his life to overturn the verdict.

Countless people who had their homes confiscated and lost their official status were freed, became good people again, and returned to their former mansions. Although their relatives died, almost every deceased person received great compensation this time.

For example, Cui Daoxuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War, used to have a very poor family, and his several wives and concubines even wore patchwork clothes!

But now, if you put 4000 acres of Yongye farmland there, you will immediately become rich and prosperous!

After these people who had experienced the catastrophe received tangible benefits, no one had any objections at all. They all lived their lives honestly. Compared to Wu Zetian, they were ten times more grateful to Yang Yanzhang.

"Brother-in-law is really talented! If Wan'er's grandfather could have met a capable person like you back then, he would have been able to overturn the case even if he died!"

After this incident, Shangguan Wan'er's affection for Yang Yanzhang increased a hundredfold.

At that time, my grandfather Shangguan Yi offended Wu Zetian and later died unjustly.

Yang Yanzhang dared to speak out for such people and redress their injustices. This made Shangguan Wan'er feel the same and she had unprecedented respect and admiration for Yang Yanzhang.

In this way, before Shangguan Wan'er just had a crush on Yang Yanzhang, and sometimes she even just wanted to have a one-night romance, but now out of respect, she is much more polite after meeting Yang Yanzhang.

"Sister, the Queen Mother has been paying close attention to pigeon training recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here often in the future. But with Yang Yanzhang here, I can rest assured."

Shangguan Wan'er's excuse didn't show any trace. Although Yang Yanzhang was a little confused, he didn't understand her thoughts and couldn't see the reason.

But when Shangguan Wan'er came less, he felt relieved.

Facing the sisters every day, he often feels unable to control himself. Yang Yanzhang knows that once this kind of thing starts, it will basically be out of control. After all, it is too exciting.

But as long as you can't see it, you will naturally lose many possibilities.

"Don't worry, Sir Shangguan, I will definitely take good care of Yuqing." Seeing that she was leaving, Yang Yanzhang solemnly promised.

"Return to Sir Shangguan?" Shangguan Wan'er said angrily.

Yang Yanzhang didn't know what to call him for a moment.

Shangguan Yuqing immediately laughed: "Are you stupid? We are all one family. Since she is my sister, she is also your sister over there!"

"Sister?" Yang Yanzhang was stunned.

"Hey!" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er responded quickly and left happily.

"Sister? Brother-in-law??" Yang Yanzhang uncontrollably imagined some pictures in his mind, then trembled and did not dare to continue thinking.

As Shangguan Wan'er left, Yang Yanzhang's mind became much clearer. "Ding! The host successfully impeached Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen and received god-level rewards: a cart of top-grade potatoes and a cart of top-grade corn!"

"High-quality potatoes: yield per mu is 3000 kilograms"

"High-quality corn: yield per mu is 1500 kilograms"

This reward immediately stunned Yang Yanzhang.

Although this output is not worth mentioning in later generations, in ancient times, this was a sacred object that defeated everything!
If you take this thing out, it will directly affect Zhenguo!

It should be noted that these days there are no chemical fertilizers, no selective breeding technology, no scientific irrigation, etc., so the yield of food is appallingly low!
"Guanzi Qingchongjia" records the rice yield in the Spring and Autumn Period: one hundred acres of rice were plowed throughout the year, and the harvest from one hundred acres was only twenty.

In terms of meters, converted, it is only equivalent to fifty or sixty kilograms in later generations.

"Hanshu Shihuo Zhi" records the output during the Warring States Period: Today, one man can take care of five people, manage a hundred acres of land, and (mu) can harvest one stone and a half per year!

In terms of meters, when converted, it's just sixty pounds.

Ji Kang, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, said it more clearly: Ten dendrobiums per acre is called fertile land, and this is the general name for it in the world!
In terms of rice, if converted, the yield per mu is 90 kilograms, which is fertile land!
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the output of fertile land was less than [-] kilograms.

What is the concept of yielding 3000 kilograms of potatoes per mu?
As long as you plant this thing in the future, the output will directly increase dozens of times!
Even if you grow corn, the increase will be ten times!

"What a great thing. It is indeed a god-level reward! This thing was supposed to appear in the Ming Dynasty, but now it comes out directly across the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is destined to rewrite history and push Chinese civilization to a new height!"

But where is this precious car now?
Just when Yang Yanzhang was confused, the voice of the maid came from outside: "Weird thing! When did these two carts arrive?"

Yang Yanzhang hurried out, only to see two large iron carts parked in the originally empty granary. When he went up to take a look, he saw that the familiar potatoes and corn were indeed inside.

The potatoes are big and round, and the corn is plump and shiny!
"Good stuff, good stuff!"

Yang Yanzhang was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "No one is allowed to touch this thing, just leave it here for me!"

It's almost autumn, so it's too late to plant now, but later on you just need to put the potatoes in the cellar and dry the corn, and you won't have any problems planting them next year.

But suddenly Yang Yanzhang's eyes lit up again!
"I used to be from the north, and potatoes and corn could be harvested once a year! But now I'm in Luoyang, the capital of China! These things can be harvested twice a year at least!"

"Double-crop crops are planted in March and harvested in July. Planted in August and harvested in November! Isn't this the right time?"

At this time, he suddenly remembered the 2500 acres of fertile land he had received after being granted the title of county official!
Mothers in the Tang Dynasty were smaller than those in later generations.

To grow potatoes normally, 250 kilograms of seeds per acre is enough. If placed here, it would take about [-] kilograms per acre.

This cart of potatoes looks like it weighs at least three thousand kilograms. Just potatoes can cover more than ten acres!

As for corn, one acre of land only requires two or three kilograms of seeds. These several thousand kilograms of corn kernels can easily fill the rest of the field!
"Yuqing! Has our field been planted now?" Yang Yanzhang suddenly rushed in and asked Shangguan Yuqing.

"I am selecting manpower these days and have not started farming yet."

"Hey, that's even better! Once we find enough manpower, my husband will personally teach them how to farm!"
