Chapter 561, the pepper is cooked(2/2)

"Yes~"

When Mao Qi heard this, he quickly gave instructions.

When he came to the field, Liu Jin quickly pulled off a corn cob and observed it carefully.

This corn cob is relatively short, and the corn kernels on it are also irregular, which is far inferior to the corn eaten by later generations.

"It should be a problem with the varieties, or the varieties need to be continuously improved. The corns of later generations are basically genetically modified corns, which have high yields, strong disease resistance, and very good-looking appearance."

While watching and comparing, Liu Jin had a rough idea in his mind.

The yield of this kind of corn is not high, and its appearance is not good-looking, but this kind of corn is considered to be pure natural corn, and it tastes better than the genetically modified corn of later generations.

"Old Liu, can the yield of this corn really reach tens of shi per mu?"

Zhu Houzhao also pulled down a corn cob, and then carefully looked at the huge corn field in front of him.

"We will weigh it again after it matures over time. I guess it may not be reached, but the yield is still much higher than that of wheat. The key is that corn does not need to occupy fertile land."

"It is very cold-resistant and can be grown on hillsides and vegetable soil. It can be regarded as a supplementary grain."

Liu Jin thought for a while and shook his head slightly.

"As long as it can increase grain production, supplementary grains are also grains, and they are good if they can fill the stomach."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and what he said made Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

The prince, who grew up in a deep palace, became so down-to-earth after spending some time in the military camp, and even knew how precious food was.

"What His Highness said is that good food can fill the stomach."

When Mao Qi heard this, he quickly smiled and said.

Moltke himself was born into a poor peasant family. Although he is now the manager of Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank, he still remembers hunger.

"A few years ago, when there was a famine, the bark of the trees was eaten. If there had been corn like this, many people would have died."

"Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty will not be short of food in the future, and we will have endless food in the future."
