Now, everyone knew how much grain could be produced per mu.
The people on the second floor.
Basically, each family had at least a few dozen mu of land, and the peasant commoners on the first floor also had more or less fields. Some of the fields were given to the big families to grow food, and then according to the harvest, the main family would give them some food. The slightly better off families also had two or three mu of land.
This was their capital to live a peaceful life.
However, they were not rich and did not have much grain. This year, they suddenly encountered a grasshopper disaster and a food shortage. How could they have any grain?
They lived frugally for this autumn planting so that they would not starve like this year.
However, this was only so that they would not starve. As for the people on the second floor, they were already in an uproar.
They came here because they knew some things in the imperial court. Therefore, they wanted to ask if these things were true.
However, before they could ask, they heard more explosive news. How could they not be excited?
Although they did not dare to spread the news about Kong Yingda in the imperial court yesterday, they could still circulate it internally. Generously.
The news of Kong Yingda sneaking up the mountain last night, coupled with Kong Yingda's current attire, made everyone on the second floor understand instantly.
All of this was real!
At this moment.
A voice that Kong Yingda was familiar with came from behind a screen in a private room on the second floor.
"Duke Kong, is what you said true?"
Although Kong Yingda did not see the person, he could tell from the voice that this person should be the Minister of Taichang Temple. However, due to the current situation, he did not dare to show himself. However, he could not suppress the desire in his heart.
Kong Yingda did not speak.
Instead, he slowly opened the oiled paper bag in his hand and placed it on the Storyteller's table.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted by the snow-colored thing. This thing was whiter than the fine salt, and even whiter than the snow.
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
Kong Yingda pointed at the thing on the table and said, "This thing, I'm afraid everyone wants to know what it is."
"But please allow Old Man to keep us in suspense. We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about what everyone knows first. I'm sure everyone knows about the news that came from White Deer College a few days ago, three days after its opening, right?"
"Someone was looking for an iron mine, but he accidentally found something poisonous, and dozens of people died. You all should have heard a bit of the news, right?"
Chang 'an City wasn't big, so there were some things that couldn't be hidden even if one wanted to. Although Niu Jinda had walked around Chang' an City, many people had still seen him. In addition, the people of Chang 'an City loved to wander around. Hence, everyone paid special attention to White Deer College.
Therefore, everyone knew about this matter.
But he didn't know what Kong Yingda meant.
As for the people on the second floor, they were silent.
This matter hadn't stopped since yesterday's court session. Even though the Emperor didn't mention a word about it this morning, there were still more people talking about it.
The more the Emperor didn't mention it, the more people suspected it. .
Could it be the thing on the table?
Did Kong Yingda want to die???
Everyone on the second floor changed their expressions.
They hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and even those who had masks put them on. This made the people on the first floor panic.
Kong Yingda said calmly, "That's right. This thing is the thing that poisoned them to death!"
In an instant.
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the truth.
However, there were some people in the crowd who were meticulous. Seeing that Kong Yingda was fine even though he was so close to that thing and was facing it calmly, they couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Kong Yingda, you already know that this thing is highly poisonous. Why didn't you … avoid it?"
"I didn't avoid it! Old Man knows that after today, Old Man won't be able to keep his head. In that case, why would Old Man care about it? "
"As long as I can expose their conspiracy, this old man will pay a visit to His Majesty later and present this thing to His Majesty personally. I will tell His Majesty everything I saw on the mountain today. I believe that His Majesty will make a decision!"
"Kong Yingda! You're really careless! But was this thing really the poisonous thing? But didn't you just say that this thing will increase the grain yield? "
"What do you mean?"
"Yes!"
"I hope you can explain it to me, Kong Yingda!"
Seeing this, Kong Yingda grabbed a handful of phosphate fertilizer and said, "This thing is called phosphate fertilizer. People on the mountain said that once this thing is applied to the ground, it will increase the grain yield. But think about it. If it's poisonous, even if it can increase the grain yield, so what?"
"After all, this thing is watered with poisonous things. No matter how fat the banker is, it will still be a poisonous thing. Instead, it will harm even more people. Now, think about it. If this thing is really implemented, what will it be?"
"It will kill all of us!"
"This thing, even if it can produce thousands of catties per mu, do you think we can eat it?"
