"The exact yield will only be known after the sun is dried."
"In any case, it is definitely a lot more than your output last year." Su Jiu smiled and shook his head. He was still very confident about this.
Wang Jinhe smiled but said nothing. This was indeed the truth.
It took everyone eight days to harvest nearly 1,200 acres of land, using a total of thirty threshing machines.
There could have been a little more, but their family was short of manpower, so they could only rely on time to harvest.
After the harvest, the crops need to be cleaned and dried. The prefect did not go home during these days and stayed at Wang Jinhe's house. He would bring people to the farm every day to check on the crops.

Fortunately, the rice was all dried after five or six days of drying.
It took several more days to dry and weigh the crops. A total of 900,000 kilograms of grain were harvested from more than 1,000 acres of land. The average yield of the grain planted last year was 1,200 kilograms, while the high-yield grain variety was around 1,800 kilograms.
This result made the prefect go crazy with joy.
"That's great. The yield is so high. This year's grain can be distributed to more places. Madam, look..."
"Don't worry, I will leave 60,000 kilograms in Fu'an County this year, and by then it should be able to cover the entire Fu'an County." Wang Jinhe looked at the prefect and knew what he wanted to say.
"That's a good feeling."
“Let’s go to your village and see what their production is.”
After Wang Jinhe's family finished harvesting the grain, the rest of the village also started, with Xie Kang's family being the first to start.
Last year, his family's yield per mu was almost 700 kilograms, and the prefect wanted to see how much they could produce this year.
When the autumn harvest started in Fu'an County, it also started in the capital. As soon as the autumn harvest started, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue became busy.

Even Xuan Feiran went to the imperial manor.
The Minister of Agriculture first had someone harvest the grain from one acre of land, cleaned the leaves from the harvest and weighed it.
Everyone was a little nervous during the weigh-in.
Even Xuan Feiran stood by and watched nervously.
When the weight came out, Xuan Feiran was stunned. The total weight was more than 1,100 kilograms, and after drying it would be at least 900 kilograms.
It’s really within the number Xiaohe said.
"Your Majesty, the county lady really did it. The grain seeds she produced are really almost as heavy as the ones she planted." Si Nong said excitedly.
"I wonder how much the county lord's production will be this year."
"The production over there will probably be released soon." Xuan Feiran also began to look forward to it.
"Si Nong and the others quickly collected the grain, dried it, and put it into storage. This grain will be of great use."
"yes."
Xuan Feiran brought people back to the palace and told the Queen Mother the good news.
"Mother, the grain yield per mu in our imperial farm is more than 1,100 kilograms, and after drying, there will be at least 900 kilograms left." Xuan Feiran said happily.
The Queen Mother was also very happy to hear this: "That's great, Xiao He said that this year's production will be even higher. Has the news come back yet?"
"not yet."
"Your Majesty, please send it to Fu'an County in an expedited manner, eight hundred miles away."
When Xuan Feiran heard this, he hurried over to take it and read it, and then he laughed out loud after reading it.
"Xiaohe did it, that's great."
The Queen Mother hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Xiaohe's yield has come out. The crop we planted this year has an output of more than 1,200 kilograms per mu. The new rice she planted has an output of 1,800 kilograms per mu, and it is dried. Xiaoyu said that this year we harvested more than 900,000 kilograms in total, and we can provide 700,000 kilograms of grain seeds to the court." Xuan Feiran said excitedly.

The Queen Mother was shocked by the output. Xiaohe said it was only fifteen hundred at that time, but she didn't expect that it is now more than eighteen hundred.
"Your Majesty, please announce this good news to everyone as soon as possible." If the people knew about this, they would definitely be very happy.
Such a high yield per mu means that people will never go hungry again.
Moreover, the tax rate set by Xuan Feiran was not high, only 20%.
The rest belongs to the people.
Even if there are some natural disasters in the future, the people will not have to suffer to the point of eating tree bark and grass roots. This is really important.
"I will announce it in the court tomorrow. Mother, what do you think we should reward Xiao He with?"
"Xiao He and her family are not short of money. After all, the wine made from the fruits and vegetables she grows is so expensive. You might as well reward her with some land. Only then will she like it. In the future, Xiao He will have to supply grain to the whole country, and this little land will definitely not be enough." It might not be convenient to buy it.
Xuan Feiran nodded in agreement: "What the Queen Mother said is right, then I will go and give an imperial decree to the prefect over there, rewarding Xiao He with a thousand acres of fertile land and asking him to find the most suitable one for Xiao He."
"Can."

Xuan Feiran went to the imperial study to do some work, and at the morning court the next day he told everyone the good news.
When the official who had wanted Wang Jinhe to hand over his method to the court ministers last year heard that the highest yield per mu on Wang Jinhe's side had reached 1,800 kilograms, he was completely dumbfounded.
The happiest person was Sinong: "Great, the yield is so high."
"This year, Changning can leave 700,000 kilograms of grain seeds for the court. The Minister of Agriculture and the Ministry of Revenue will come to the Imperial Study later. I have something for you to do."
"yes."
"Is there anyone who wants to win credit this time?" Xuan Feiran asked coldly while looking at the ministers below.
This sentence made the ministers below become silent, especially those who had this idea last year.
Do they dare
Wang Jinhe is also a weirdo. They thought that the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu last year was already a lot, so when Wang Jinhe said that the yield per mu could reach 1,500 kilograms this year, they thought it was a fantasy and a dream. Who would have thought that Wang Jinhe not only did it, but even produced 300 kilograms more than 1,500 kilograms.
Three hundred kilograms is not a small amount.
The original text comes from Tower & Read Novels ~ &
You should know that before Wang Jinhe grew high-yield crops, even the best paddy fields had a maximum yield of only 500 kilograms per mu.
One thousand eight hundred kilograms was a yield they could not even dream of, but Wang Jinhe achieved it.
Isn't it offensive for the emperor to ask such a question at this time
Who dares to take credit for this? Can they grow it just because Wang Jinhe tells them the method? Are you kidding me
"It seems that you are very self-aware this time." The royalists and those loyal to Xuan Feiran laughed when they heard this. Isn't this saying that they were not self-aware last year
When did the Emperor become so annoying
Those who were squeezed out were actually dissatisfied but dared not say anything. They could only stand there stiffly.
The person who had helped Su Yu speak on behalf of the Imperial Censorate suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, Princess Changning has made such a great contribution this time, she deserves a reward."
"That's not right. The Princess of Changning is already the Princess of Changning. How can she be rewarded?"
"Since you don't need any reward, why don't you continue to be a seventh-rank official? Why do you want a promotion?" the other party asked unceremoniously.

"Mo Zhen, how do you think we should reward you?"
