Several ministers heard Xiao Yao say that the yield per mu is 900 catties, and they don't believe it, they think it's too exaggerated, such an output has never been heard of since ancient times, although they have not personally planted the land, but the family has a field property, that is, they have not managed the field production, as a major minister in the court, grain, agriculture has always been the foundation of the country, the highest and lowest annual grain yield per mu in the country, only they get the most comprehensive and clearest report.
Did the princess deceive them into not knowing the grain?
Hum!
On-site weighing is on-site weighing.
Look who has no face.
The ministers spoke one after another, and the prime minister pointed to the battle.
Xiao Yao was waiting for this sentence, and immediately instructed Steward Liu: "Go find ten young men with scythes and come here."
Steward Liu promised to go down immediately.
Xiao Yao asked the ten ministers to point out three pieces of land at random, and asked his subordinates to measure one acre of land and enclose it with a rope.
Soon Steward Liu brought the wheat harvesters.
Ten sturdy young men finished cutting one acre of wheat in less than half an hour, and Steward Liu instructed five of them to pull the wheat to the wheat mill by cart, leaving five to cut wheat in another field.
Xiao Yao took Li Chen and the other five ministers to the wheat mill, leaving the five ministers to follow the five young men to another wheat field, so that they could monitor the whole process and lose convincingly.
It took less than three hours before and after, and the wheat on the three acres of land was harvested, milled, threshed, and weighed out, which were 950 catties, 890 catties, and 980 catties respectively.
The average yield per mu is 940 catties.
If the ten ministers hadn't followed what they saw with their own eyes all the way, they wouldn't have believed it.
Ten people, you look at me, I see you can't speak anymore.
Prime Minister Li Chen knelt down and said ashamedly: "The old minister's eyes are dizzy, he underestimated the princess, please punish the princess."
The ministers also knelt down.
Xiao Yao hurriedly put Li Chen's hands together, and said, "Ministers, please hurry up, Xiao Yao is about to ask you to give me ideas."
But if I beg you, if any fault is also my fault, what sin are you guilty of?
” Steward Liu and the others picked up the ministers, Xiao Yao invited them back to the manor to drink tea and rest, waiting for the food to be served and eaten, Xiao Yao asked them to give their wheat seeds the purpose of reference pricing clearly told them, the ministers in the spirit of pleasing the princess, have given their own sky-high prices, the highest gives twenty taels of one catty, the lowest also gives ten taels of catty, compared with the original market price of one tael of silver and one hundred catties, it has been dozens of times, unimaginably high price.
Xiao Yao heard that there were relatives in front of her, and said unhurriedly: "It seems that when I bought this seed, I was deceived.
At the beginning, I bought these good seeds for a price of 1,000 taels and 1 catties, and I thought that I could sell them for 500 taels of silver a catty, but who knew that it would be difficult to sell them for 500 taels and 1 catties.
Do you know that I'm a layman, who don't lie to me?
” Listening to Xiao Yao's words, the ministers were dumbfounded, five hundred taels of silver a catty?
To buy gold or to buy precious stones?
Even gold and gems can't be worth the price?
Looking at the Huayang princess in front of her, she doesn't look like a person who lacks heart?
Everyone didn't know how to speak for a long time, because no matter how they said it, it was not pleasing to say, and it was worth it, but it was too obvious to say that it was not worth it, undoubtedly saying that the princess had a problem with her IQ, and in the end, it was the bachelor Qi who had always had the fastest brain rotation in the court to open her mouth: "Princess, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and a high-yield wheat seed like the princess is unique in all dynasties, including the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and has never even heard of it."
Besides, wheat seeds will grow dozens of times more wheat when planted in the ground, which cannot be regarded as a loss, and must be worth the money. ” Blue Smoke has something to say: This chapter is dedicated to the only person who subscribes, thank you for being with you!!
