And that night, Ying Zheng also received an urgent report from Feng Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the report from the Marquis of Chang'an has arrived, saying that the proceeds from the first day's auction have come out."
"Oh? On the first day, how much food did you get in the auction?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, on the first day, the auction of the imperial court's property totaled 89 shi of grain."
What the fuck?
Hearing the palace man's words, Ying Zheng's blood pressure suddenly rose, and he was very surprised.
"How much? Did you read it wrong?"
Chapter 302 My world map, do you want to draw it on the spot?
89 shi of grain?
Did you read it wrong?
"Report to Your Majesty..."
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, the palace people quickly and carefully read them again, and after they were accurate, they hurriedly said, "The villain is indeed right. The report of Chang'an Monkey is indeed sold for 89 yuan. The food of ten thousand stones."
"There are so many on this first day?"
Ying Zheng was surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that he sold almost all of these court properties on the first day?"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Chang'an said that less than [-]% of the sales on the first day were made."
what?
Less than 89% of the sales were sold on the first day, and [-] shi of grain was actually exchanged?
This is too exaggerated, right?
In that case, wouldn't the total amount of this auction be very large?
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Chang'an also said that although the auction started off well, he estimated that the total amount should be around 600 million shi."
More than 600 million stones?
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said, "What he said is also reasonable, but there are as many as 600 million stones, which is completely beyond my expectation."
good……
More than 600 million shi, that is not far from the gap of 800 million Dan.
The rest, if you want to solve it, it's not a big problem.
and!
Afterwards, the two of them had a new plan, that is, to store food for the benefit of the people.
Ying Zheng naturally knew the effects and consequences of these two measures.
However, what he needs is to hold more food in the world in his own hands.
After all, the court wants to do big things, and doing big things requires cost.
Food is the most fundamental cost. If there is no such guarantee in hand, no matter what ideas you have, you will appear powerless.
This is the case when you are an emperor. If you don't have enough benefits, why should others do things for you?
The so-called divine right of kings has always been a lie to ordinary people. As for those dignitaries, most of them don't believe it.
The emperor and the imperial court can tie them down, in addition to interests or interests!
Therefore, one thing that the emperors of all dynasties have done is to be able to tie down these courtiers and give them enough benefits, but at the same time beware of them, because their tails are too big, which will affect their own safety.
So is it easy to be an emperor?
From ancient times to the present, the emperors who thought it was easy to be emperors basically died easily!
"Pass the edict to him."
Ying Zheng said, "Let him take care of this matter boldly, and I will help him out."
"promise."
……
In a flash, seven days passed, and Feng Zheng himself came to Xianyang Palace to return to his life.
"Minister Feng Zheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been around for ten thousand years!"
"Don't be too polite, get up quickly."
Seeing Feng Zheng, Ying Zheng smiled, "In the past few days, you have done great things. Tell me, how much food did you raise in total?"
"Hey, Your Majesty, the grain in this account is a total of 640 million shi."
"Huh? It's really good!"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled, "If that's the case, then there won't be many gaps left?"
That's right, if this is the case, the remaining 800 million gap will become 160 million stones.
Moreover, the next step is a policy of saving grain to benefit the people. At that time, the imperial court will have more grain assets to use.
"Your Majesty, this measure of using food as a reward has indeed raised a lot of food for the court, and the next store of food for the benefit of the people will also bring a lot of food to the court."
Feng Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are not afraid of too many good things, but only too few. I believe that the court's various measures must continue as planned."
"Well... that's what I mean too."
Ying Zheng listened, nodded and said, "You mean, this is a business with outsiders, right?"
"Hey, Your Majesty is wise, this is what I said."
Feng Zheng heard this, and said with a smile, "I think, even if the internal food demand is resolved, then our foreign trade can still continue."
[That's right, this time I didn't expect that these little nobles were so powerful, they helped to drive up a lot of prices, and made those powerful people lose a lot of blood. 】
[However, foreign trade must continue! 】
[After all, there are so many good things that can only be obtained by doing business with the Western Regions? 】
[Watermelon, grapes, various spices, these things are not imported from the Western Regions, and the Central Plains did not have them. 】
Ok?
watermelon?
Grape?
After hearing Feng Zheng's voice, Ying Zheng was taken aback.
What is this watermelon?
Grapes, what are they?
[By the way, there is also America. 】
Feng Zhengxin said, "It's good that things from the Western Regions can be introduced, but things from the Americas are also very important!" 】
[Corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, these things are too important. If they can be obtained, it is estimated that the food crisis in Daqin can be solved even more. 】
hiss?
corn?
Sweet potato?
And chili?
After hearing Feng Zheng's voice, Ying Zheng's heart suddenly moved.
Are these things eaten?
Moreover, if it can be introduced, Daqin will not be short of food even more?
Could it be that the yield of these things is far greater than that of wheat millet?
I originally thought that through Feng Zheng's improved farming and rice in the south, Daqin would not have to worry about food.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zheng had other thoughts in his mind.
but……
Why is this American or not American? Where is it?
By the way, I don't know, but Feng Zheng knows.
Didn't this kid say that he would give himself a map of the world?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Feng Zheng and asked, "Qing, have you been busy these days?"
[Ah... ah? 】
Feng Zheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
[Why did this old Zhao suddenly ask me this? 】
He thought to himself, 【Why, it seems like you want me to do something else? 】
[I've been very busy these days. I'm auctioning during the day, playing cards at night, and I have to draw pictures and write plans after the game. The time is full. 】
Ok?
Are you full of time?
I didn't expect this kid to be so busy these days.
"Your Majesty, I have been busy bidding for the past few days."
Feng Zheng bowed and said, "But now I'm done with work, Your Majesty has something to do, but please tell me."
"Hehe, you really worked hard."
Ying Zheng smiled and asked immediately, "It's just that I suddenly remembered, what about the world map you promised to give me? How long will it take to make it?"
[Hey, so you are asking about the world map? 】
Feng Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said to himself, 【This old Zhao is still quite curious about what's going on outside...】
"Your Majesty, if you want a detailed map of the world, you may have to wait a few days."
Feng Zheng smiled, "However, if Your Majesty's requirements are not so high, I can draw a rough outline for Your Majesty on the spot."
Ok?
on site?
Ying Zheng was surprised for a while, and pointed out, "The scene? Right here?"
Chapter 303 This is the World Map?
right here?Right in front of me, can you immediately produce a map of the world?
After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng was instantly taken aback.
Isn't this landscape drawing extremely difficult to survey and map?
After I unified the six kingdoms, it took a long time for people to survey and map the mountains, rivers and rivers of the world.
Now, he alone can draw a bigger and wider picture?
Yes, Qin Shihuang is really impressive, and it took a long time for a large number of people to draw pictures of the various mountains, rivers and annals of the entire Great Qin.
This can be called the first in Chinese history!
Of course, his achievements will benefit Liu Bang in the future.
Because Liu Bang crossed the pass and entered, he took the lead in occupying Xianyang, while Xiao He directly entered Qin Shihuang's royal private garden, and got all kinds of Daqin confidential documents.
Among them, there are mountains, rivers and rivers surveyed and mapped by Qin Shihuang.
It is precisely because of mastering this first-hand geographical information that Liu Bang took advantage of many geographical advantages in the subsequent battle with Xiang Yu.
[This, is there any difficulty? 】
Feng Zhengxin said, 【I was originally doing this...】
