Chapter 129: Potatoes: Three Years To Plant, Five Years To Accumulate, Six Years To Eat [Please Subs
After the bet was established, Yan Changqing looked at Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su and said with a smile:
"Then let's get started. You don't need to take real money, just use the sand and gravel on the ground as money temporarily."
"I also ask your two highnesses to count them out loud while placing them, so that everyone knows how much money should be placed on each chessboard."
At this time, King Yan Zhu Di, who was halfway through the calculation and could no longer continue, opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu with pity, and shook his head gently.
Zhu Biao on the side saw Zhu Di's appearance and asked curiously:
"What's wrong?!!"
"It's nothing, I just feel sympathy for Zhendi and Bodi as they have to live as farmers for the next five months."
Zhu Di said as if a good brother couldn't bear to see his stupid brother act stupidly.
On the side, King Zhu Zhen of Chu and King Zhu Bo of Qi had already begun to place sand and stones while counting loudly:
"One article."
"Two texts."
"Four articles.
"One thousand and twenty-four articles."
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zhu did not put any more gravel, but only used sound expression to replace the gravel.
"Fifty-two-four thousand, two hundred and eighty-eight articles."
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu's voices weakened slightly, and a look of doubt flashed in their eyes.
"Thirty-three, five hundred and fifty-four thousand, four hundred and thirty-two articles."
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu both had doubtful looks on their faces at this moment, and their voices had completely weakened. If they weren't standing next to them, they wouldn't even be able to hear their voices.
"The thirty-fifth frame, one hundred and seventy-one hundred and seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine thousand one hundred and eighty-four texts."
This is the number that Yan Changqing said on behalf of Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Shu. As for Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu, when they reached the twentieth grid, they could no longer continue to calculate due to their own arithmetic abilities. Went down.
"One hundred and seventy-one hundred and seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine thousand one hundred and eighty-four taels. If divided by one thousand, that is one thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine taels. The remaining The fraction of one hundred and eighty-four cents, just for the sake of the teacher-student relationship that my two highnesses and I have, let’s just wipe it out.”
"What, do you want to continue doing this?!!"
Yan Changqing pointed at the sixty-four-square chessboard that was now just over half way through. He leaned down and looked at Chu Wang Zhu Zhen and Qi Wang Zhu Zun who had fallen to the ground, their eyes losing their luster. Said with a gentle smile.
However, in the eyes of Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Shu, the smile in his eyes was no different from that of an evil ghost!
【Is this a calculation?】
【This is definitely a calculation, right?!】
[This is definitely a malicious calculation based on one’s own calculation ability!!!]
[His mother-in-law, I actually forgot that Yan Changqing’s previous identity was a doctor of arithmetic from the Imperial College, the number one person in arithmetic in the entire Ming Dynasty!!!]
[It’s a lie, it’s obviously just a 64-square chessboard, how can it be possible that tens of billions of coins cannot be filled, or even only half filled?!!]
[I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid, knowing that he has a doctorate in mathematics, I actually made such a bet with him. 】
[It’s over. I will be a farmer for the next five months. I really want to regret it. 】
[But the bet was witnessed by my father. If I regret it, he will probably beat me until I can’t get out of bed for five months, right?!!]
When Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Shu thought that they would have to work as farmers for Yan Changqing in the next five months, they immediately felt that their lives were really full of hope and expectations.
On the side were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and other princes. Except for Zhu Di who had made some calculations in advance, everyone else also looked dumbfounded.
They had no idea that if they wanted to fill up a mere sixty-four chessboard, it would not be enough to put tens of billions of money in it, and it would even only be half filled!!!
[Never make a bet with Mr. Yan about studying in the future!!!]
Looking at Zhu Zhen, Zhu Bo, Zhu Biao, Zhu Cang, Zhu Fan and other princes who were going to be farmers for five months in the future as they fell to the ground, such a thought flashed through their minds.
[Is this the horror of arithmetic?!!]
[Mr. Yan is really invincible in his arithmetic skills!!!]
[When encountering this kind of thing in the future, you must first calculate it in your mind before considering whether to make this type of bet. 】
[Otherwise, I might end up in the same situation as Brother Zhen and Brother Zhu one day. 】
[Thanks to Brother Zhen and Brother Su for bringing you experiences and lessons. As an elder brother, I will remember them. 】
Thinking of this example of putting money on the chessboard, the princes Zhu Bo, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and others couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zun who were unresponsive, Yan Changqing stood up straight again and said with a smile: (bhcc)
"When I see His Highness the King of Chu and His Highness the King of Qi, I should have no objections."
"Then please prepare your two highnesses as farmers. I will call you when we start planting potatoes."
Then Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and said seriously:
"As the example just showed, I only used six or seven potatoes to make seeds at the beginning, but now I have harvested one hundred and forty-five.
"The increase in potatoes is about 20 times, and now there are 145 potatoes."
"Then the estimated second harvest of potatoes in the second half of this year should be 2,900 potatoes.
"After the Agricultural College officially opens, we will start large-scale planting with these two thousand nine hundred potatoes."
"In the first half of the first year of the Agricultural College, it is estimated that 58,000 potatoes will be harvested; in the second half of the year, 1.16 million potatoes will be harvested."
"In the first half of the next year, it is estimated that 23.2 million potatoes will be harvested; in the second half of the year, it is estimated that 464 million potatoes will be harvested.
"In the first half of the third year, it is estimated that 9.28 billion potatoes will be harvested, and in the second half of the year, 185.6 billion potatoes will be harvested."
"As for the fourth and fifth years, I don't think so."
"The amount of potatoes cultivated and planted in the first three years alone is enough to give each person in the world three to forty liters of potatoes."
"Of course, the above data are theoretical data."
"Actually, taking into account the fertility of the land and various possible unexpected situations that may lead to reduced potato production, the real potato yield in the first three years should not be so high."
"So coupled with the four crops of potatoes planted in the next two years, the potato output accumulated in five years will definitely exceed the figure just mentioned."
“When the five-year period is over and the first batch of agriculturists from the Agricultural College graduates, each agriculturist will return to Kangli in the Ming Dynasty to plant soil with the soil assigned to them by the Agricultural College.
"You only need to plant the first crop, and then wait until the harvest in the first half of the year, invite the people in the county to help with the harvest, and then count the yield per mu in front of them."
"After that, there is no need for the agriculturist to make any publicity or requests. He only needs to express that the court is willing to distribute potatoes with a yield of at least 20 shi per mu to make seeds for them."
"Then the people in the counties of the Ming Dynasty will probably, in addition to retaining their own food rations for the next six months to one year, plow out all other crops in their fields and replace them with potatoes."
"If everything goes well, by the time the harvest is harvested at the end of the sixth year, people in every county will probably be able to eat potatoes tomorrow.
"Even if something unexpected happens, it will only be delayed by one or two years. This is only the seventh or eighth year of the establishment of the college.
"So, within ten years at most, people all over the world will be able to eat potatoes for three meals a day."
"I just hope they don't eat potatoes until they vomit."
