Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

Water chestnuts with an output of more than 1,000 catties per mu?

Lotus roots with an output of more than 3,000 catties per mu? After hearing Prince Fusu's story about the horrific output of lotus roots and water chestnuts per mu, the old Qin people who had just shouted"We must use our bows and swords to get back the cows and donkeys for farming for us", as well as the people from other places, seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment and fell into silence.

Of course, it was not just them.

Whether it was Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, Wucheng Hou Wang Jian, Zuo Prime Minister Wei Zhuang and other Qin monarchs and ministers, or Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and other nobles of the six countries, they were also shocked at this moment and opened their mouths wide and froze in place.

For people of this era, crops with an output of 1,000 catties per mu and 3,000 catties per mu can definitely be described as a dimensionality reduction strike beyond the limit of imagination.

No one can continue to maintain a calm attitude as if nothing has happened under such a horrible output per mu.

If there is, then this person is definitely not from the Central Plains.

Either they are barbarians who don't farm, or they are barbarians who are dressed in the appearance of Central Plains people but are actually barbarians.

After a long while, some people in Guizhou murmured in disbelief:

"The yield per mu is one thousand catties, or even three thousand catties, is this true?"

And it is crispy and sweet?

It can even be eaten as a staple food like cereals to a certain extent?

Oh my God, is there really such good food in the world?

For the common people in Guizhou who can't even get enough to eat, let alone whether the lotus roots and water chestnuts are crispy or sweet. Even if the lotus roots and water chestnuts taste like chewing wax, as long as they can be really eaten and can fill their stomachs.

Then for them, the lotus roots with a yield of three thousand catties per mu and the water chestnuts with a yield of one thousand catties per mu are supreme treasures.

At this time, another commoner in Guizhou suddenly said weakly:"I remember that there seemed to be a pond to the east of the village, with lotus roots and water chestnuts in it."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence again.

The people of Guizhou looked at each other, and then the next moment they all ran towards the pond on the east side of the village.

When they arrived at the pond and saw the lotus and water chestnuts all over the pond, the people of Guizhou who were familiar with water and could swim did not even have time to take off their clothes, and they all dived in.

And those people of Guizhou who were not familiar with water and could not swim also looked around anxiously, and after finding a dead wood, they also jumped into the pond holding the dead wood.

Then the next moment, they held the dead wood in one hand and picked the lotus with one hand.

The people of Guizhou who dived into the pond first suddenly emerged from the water, holding a lotus in his hand.

The people of Guizhou held the lotus high, revealing the lotus roots under the lotus, and said excitedly:

"real!"

"What His Royal Highness said is true!"

"A lotus root really weighs four or five pounds!"

The common people around the pond looked at the lotus he held up in his hand, and the four or five lotus roots hanging under the lotus, each of which was as thick as his arm.

Suddenly, everyone became even more crazy, until finally, almost half of the common people in the village jumped into the pond to pick lotus roots and water chestnuts.

As for the remaining half of the common people in the village, it was not that they did not want to jump with them, but now the whole pond was crowded with people.

Even if they wanted to jump, there was no place for them to stay in the pond.

Of course, it was not just them, but the common people all over the world were like this at this moment.

As long as there was a wild pond that could be found, as long as there were wild lotus roots and water chestnuts in the pond.

At this moment, they could not escape the picking of common people from all over the country. In

Xianyang City, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also came back to his senses from the shock, turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials behind him and asked:

"Why has no one ever told me before that the per-acre yield of lotus roots and water chestnuts is so high?¨｀¨？"

Whether it is lotus root or water chestnut, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng is not unfamiliar with it, and he has eaten it more or less.

But after eating it, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng just forgot about it and didn't take it to heart.

After all, as the first emperor, he can eat too much.

Lotus root and water chestnut are not particularly precious or delicious treasures among the things he can eat.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't know that the per-acre yield of lotus root and water chestnut is as much as 3,000 catties and 1,000 catties.

If he knew that the per-acre yield of lotus root and water chestnut is as much as 3,000 catties and 1,000 catties, then he would have vigorously promoted the planting of lotus root and water chestnut.

The role that can be played by edible food with extremely terrifying yield is really too great.

Apart from anything else, if there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster, then with lotus root and water chestnut with such a terrifying per-acre yield, even if it is a hard kang, it can be carried through.

After all, for the people of Qianshou who have suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters and have caused poor harvests or even no harvests.

Many times, if you really only give them a little bit of food, they can persevere.

And it is much better to let the disaster-stricken people in Guizhou eat lotus roots and water chestnuts than to let them eat grass roots, tree barks, or even Guanyin soil.

After all, if the people in Guizhou eat lotus roots and water chestnuts for a long time, they will not necessarily die.

At most, they will have a bad stomach, or the body may have gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting, and various other problems.

But no matter how many disadvantages there are to eating lotus roots and water chestnuts, it can keep you alive!

Let you support until other disaster relief food arrives, or until the next crop of grain is harvested.

If the people in Guizhou can only eat grass roots, tree barks, and Guanyin soil for a long time, then the people in Guizhou will not even have the opportunity to have various other minor problems in their bodies.

Because before that, they were either starved to death or were directly stuffed to death by the indigestible Guanyin soil.

Similarly, if lotus roots and water chestnuts can be used as a temporary staple food.

Then, during the war, if lotus roots and water chestnuts were used as military supplies, the pressure on the court's logistics and food would be greatly reduced.

At least the same three thousand kilograms of military food, the court only needed the lotus root output of one acre of pond to meet it.

If it was replaced with crops in the fields, at least thirty acres of fields would be needed to meet the three thousand kilograms of food needs.

Even if lotus roots and water chestnuts could not completely replace grains as military supplies, as long as lotus roots and water chestnuts could replace one-half, or one-third, one-quarter, or one-fifth of the military supplies.

Then this would be enough to save the Qin State a very large amount of military supplies and food expenses!

And this saved military supplies and food expenses, he could invest it in other aspects of construction.

For example, road construction. After unifying the six countries, he had always wanted to build a straight road connecting all parts of the world to strengthen the rule of the Qin State.

Another example is the construction of the Great Wall. The Huns in the north have always been eyeing the Central Plains. If the Great Walls built by the original vassal states can be linked together, it will not be so easy for the Huns to invade the Central Plains.

The people of Qianshou on the border of Qin can also live more peacefully and avoid the invasion of the Huns.

Another example is to continue the southern expedition and further expand the territory of Qin.

If it doesn't work, he can also use the saved military supplies and food expenditures to repair his tomb in Mount Li.

In short, the water chestnuts with an output of more than 1,000 catties per mu and the lotus roots with an output of more than 3,000 catties per mu can play too many and too great roles.

When Wucheng Hou Wang Jian, the right prime minister Wang Wan, the court judge Li Si and other civil and military officials heard the question of the first emperor, they all smiled bitterly.

Did they not want to tell the first emperor that the yield of water chestnuts per mu was more than 1,000 catties and the yield of lotus roots per mu was more than 3,000 catties?

No, they really wanted to tell the first emperor!

After all, they also more or less thought of the uses of water chestnuts and lotus roots that the First Emperor could think of.

If they had known the terrifying per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots before, and the great role that water chestnuts and lotus roots could play, and then reported it to the First Emperor.

Then, to be frank, if they had not had a title before, they could have been conferred a title based on this news alone.

Even if they already had a title, they could also get a considerable reward from the First Emperor with this news.

Or Fukuzawa's own descendants could be conferred a low-level title.

Even if they were only conferred a fifth-level title, it was a serious title.

In the Qin State, having a title and not having a title were two completely different things.

Unfortunately, before Prince Fusu on the sky curtain said the terrifying per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots, no one knew that water chestnuts and lotus roots had such a terrifying per-acre yield.

After all, in this era, almost everyone has their eyes fixed on their own small piece of land.

Not many people have seriously looked at and thought about the horrible output that may be hidden under rivers, lakes and ponds.

Even if they pick water chestnuts and lotus roots sometimes, they just use them as ordinary vegetables and don't think about it seriously.

Moreover, it is very important that in this era, not everyone knows that there are lotus roots hidden under the lotus, and not everyone knows that water chestnuts and lotus roots are edible.

This is what Prince Fusu said, with the help of the function of the sky curtain to pass on the world.

The people from all over the world can do that almost everyone knows that there are lotus roots hidden under the lotus, and that water chestnuts and lotus roots can be used as staple food.

However, can such a reason be used to tell the first emperor?

Yes, but it is unnecessary and meaningless.

So Wucheng Hou Wang Jian, Zuo Prime Minister Wei Zhuang, Tingwei Li Si and other civil and military officials all bowed down and admitted their mistakes:

"¨「¨「Due to the ignorance of your servants, the State of Qin and Your Majesty missed out on the high-yield water chestnuts and lotus roots!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also knew that they were not to blame for this. After all, the civil and military officials had their own important tasks on weekdays, and they were not specialized in farming and grain crops like the children of farmers.

So it was normal that they did not know that water chestnuts could produce more than 1,000 catties per mu and lotus roots could produce more than 3,000 catties per mu.

The reason for saying this was just to take the opportunity to warn the civil and military officials.

So that they would pay more attention to high-yield grains in the future, so as not to miss out on high-yield grains like water chestnuts and lotus roots in the future.

So Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also said in a light tone:

"Each of you will be fined half a month's salary, and you can leave now."

A fine of half a month's salary is not a big deal for all the civil and military officials, it can only be regarded as a small warning and a warning.

So all the civil and military officials said in unison:

""Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng looked up at the direction of the farmer's son. Now he wanted the farmer's son to enter Xianyang as soon as possible.

After all, just because the civil and military officials did not know that the per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots was so high, it did not mean that the farmer's son did not know.

Maybe it was because the farmer's son had not entered Xianyang before that he was not told that the per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots was so high.

If he could let the farmer's son enter Xianyang earlier, then perhaps he would be able to know earlier that the per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots was so high.

And if Chen Xiang, Chen Xin and other farmers knew that Emperor Qin Ying Zheng had such high hopes for them,���They would probably say awkwardly:"We didn't know that water chestnuts and lotus roots had such a high yield per mu before."

After all, they were just like Master Xu on the sky curtain. In the past, they had put most of their research energy on land and fields, and had not studied or paid attention to the possible output in rivers, lakes, and fish ponds. However,

Prince Fusu on the sky curtain also reminded them that if the output of land and fields could not be increased for the time being.

Then they might be able to allocate some time and energy to study the output in rivers, lakes, and fish ponds, and maybe there would be unexpected gains like water chestnuts and lotus roots.

In the old land of the old Han, Zhang Liang sighed as he looked at the water chestnuts and lotus roots mentioned on the sky curtain.

Although he was very shocked when he heard that water chestnuts could produce more than 1,000 catties per mu and lotus roots could produce more than 3,000 catties per mu at first.

But after coming to his senses, he immediately thought of the many shortcomings and limitations of water chestnuts and lotus roots.

However, these shortcomings and limitations are inevitably eclipsed by the terrifying per-acre yield figures of 1,000 jin and 3,000 jin per acre.

"Qin, tyrant, what good luck!"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but say sourly.

Even though he thought water chestnuts and lotus roots had many shortcomings and disadvantages, the terrifying per-acre yield of 1,000 jin and 3,000 jin was enough to make Qin's grain more abundant, and thus make Qin's rule more stable and difficult to shake.

"Sure enough, there is no hope of overthrowing the Qin State"

"Only by assassinating the tyrant can there be a real chance of success!"

Zhang Liang once again made up his mind to assassinate the first emperor Ying Zheng instead of overthrowing the Qin State.........
