第70章 东澜国的百姓有福了

Chapter 70: The People of Dong Lan Kingdom Are Blessed

“Answering Your Majesty, what this concubine said is naturally true.”

　

A dan in this dynasty was roughly around a hundred jin.

[Jin is a traditional unit of weight, each containing 10 liang (市两) or 16 old liang (旧市两) and equivalent to 0.5 kilogram or 1.102 pounds]

The acre yield of wheat was calculated to be almost a thousand pounds or so, and although she didn’t know how much the acre yield of crops in this dynasty was around, she thought that an acre yield of ten stones should be considered a pretty good yield.

“After I found this grain in the land of the Cold Palace last year, I used the seeds of this grain to plant two acres in the wasteland, and now it has come to the stage of maturity, if Your Majesty doesn’t believe it, you can send someone to the Cold Palace to check how many acres of yield, a glance will tell you.”

This kind of thing, it’s useless to say more, go over to take a look to know if what she said is true or not. 

　

“This food you made for me. Is it with the wheat you said you made it out of?” Ji Wu Jue’s gaze fell on the basket with white and fluffy food inside and asked.

“Answering Your Majesty, exactly! The square ones are called steamed buns, which are solid inside, more hunger resistant and taste good, the round ones are called steamed stuffed buns, which can be wrapped with your favorite fillings, and they are all easier to carry. Moreover, wheat can also be used to make various other kinds of cakes or noodles, which can be stored for a long time after being dried.” Lu Yunluo spoke in detail about the various kinds of food that wheat could make.

Saying that, Lu Yunluo signaled Eunuch Cao to give the steamed stuffed buns in this basket to those ministers on the floor one by one, she bring more when she came, and now that the summer is so hot, it will definitely be bad if she can’t finish eating it and put it to tomorrow, so she might as well give them some of it.

Cao Zhong Quan looked at Ji Wu Jue’s face and saw that he had no intention of objecting, then he called two palace maids to come and gave one to each of these ministers.

Those ministers hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon until now. Just now they had smelled the scent and their stomach had been starving for a long time.

At this time, after he got the soft bun, he immediately bit down with a big mouth.

That feeling of eating this kind of delicious food in a situation of extreme hunger was really indescribable.

It was as if you were eating the most delicious thing on earth, and it was unknown how many times it tasted better than soy bean paste and rice paste.

The flavor of this meat bun, for these people, they probably wouldn’t be able to forget it for the rest of their lives.

The Minister of Revenue, Wang Xingzhi, choked because of the meat bun in his hand, holding the tears in his eyes.

The grain that produces ten dan per acre ah!

Surprisingly, it was true!

The people of Dong Lan Kingdom are finally blessed!

After a while, Ji Wu Jue sent someone to the Si Nong Temple to call a few agricultural officials over, also a group of people accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs, as they went to the Cold Palace in great numbers.

A place in the back of the Cold Palace’s mountain, into the eye, was a golden wheat.

She was sown in February or so, and now it’s almost the end of August, two acres of wheat has become golden, and the grain-full wheat ears are heavy and bent.

It is particularly striking on this weedy backwoods.

The wheat is already ripe.

　

When you look at it, it is full of golden yellow color, and a yield of ten dan per acre seems really very possible.

As soon as the agricultural officials of the Si Nong Temple saw this golden wheat, they were all overjoyed. Each of them took their tools and began to study it carefully.

Ji Wu Jue stood on the side, looking at this full of golden color, but the look on his face became more and more slightly sunken.

This wheat and rice look much the same, it is not difficult to understand that these foods can be eaten.

But he was very curious, just now how she was able to make such fine and delicious food?

Talking about her, even the chef of his imperial kitchen did not have this kind of skill and level.

Ji Wu Jue’s gaze landed on the agile figure in front of him, it’s becoming deeper and deeper.
