Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

The yield per mu is more than 1,000 kilograms of water chestnuts?

The yield per mu is more than 3,000 kilograms of lotus root?

After hearing Prince Fusu talk about the terrifying yields of lotus roots and water chestnuts, the old Qin people who had just shouted"We will use our bows and swords to get back the cattle and donkeys on the cultivated land for us", as well as other Guizhou people common people.

At this moment, it was as if the pause button had been pressed, falling into silence.

Of course, it's not just them.

Whether it was Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin, Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian, Prime Minister Zuo Wei Zhuang and other Qin monarchs and ministers, or nobles of the Six Kingdoms such as Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, they were all shocked at this moment with their mouths wide open and froze in place.

For people in this era, crops with a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu and three thousand kilograms per mu are definitely a dimensionality reduction attack that goes beyond the limits of imagination.

No one can continue to maintain a calm attitude as if nothing has happened under such a terrifying per-acre yield.

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

Either they are barbarians from all directions who do not farm, or they are barbarians who look like Central Plains people but are actually barbarians from all directions.

After a while, some people in Guizhou murmured to themselves in disbelief:

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

And it's crispy and sweet?

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

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

For those of them who can't even eat enough. For the people in Guizhou, it is not even a matter of whether the texture of lotus root and water chestnuts is crispy or sweet.

Even if the lotus roots and water chestnuts taste like chewing gum, as long as they can be eaten and filled up.

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

At this time, another Guizhou citizen suddenly said weakly:"I remember that there seems to be one east of the village. There are lotus roots and water chestnuts in the pond."

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

All the people in Guizhou looked at each other, and then rushed towards the pond to the east of the village.

When they arrived at the pond, they saw the lotus all over the pond. After reaching the water chestnut, the people in Guizhou Province who were familiar with water properties and could swim did not even have time to take off their clothes, so they dived in all at once.

However, those people in Guizhou Province who were not familiar with water properties and could not swim looked around anxiously and found a piece of dead wood. , they also jumped into the pond holding the dead wood.

Then the next moment, they were picking lotus flowers with one hand while holding the dead wood with one hand.

The Guizhou people who first jumped into the pond suddenly jumped out of the water. He came out, holding a lotus in his hand, and raised the lotus high, revealing the lotus roots underneath, and said excitedly:

"real!"

"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is true!"

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

The Guizhou 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 lotus root was as thick as his arm.

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

As for the remaining half of the village, it wasn't that they didn't want to jump with them, but the whole pond was now crowded. It is full of people.

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

Of course, they are not the only ones. This is the case for the people in Guizhou all over the world, as long as they can be found in the pond. There are wild lotus roots and water chestnuts in them, so at this moment, they can't escape the picking by the people from all over the country.

In Xianyang City, Emperor Qin Yingzheng also recovered from the shock and turned to look at the civil and military officials behind him. The official asked:

"Why has no one told me before that the yield per mu of lotus root and water chestnut is so high?¨｀¨？"

Whether it's lotus root or water chestnut, Emperor Qin Yingzheng was no stranger to it and had eaten it more or less.

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

After all, as the First Emperor, he had too much to eat.

Among the things he could eat, lotus roots and water chestnuts were not particularly precious or delicious.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't know that the yield per mu of lotus root and water chestnut is as much as three thousand catties and one thousand catties.

If he had known that the yields of lotus roots and water chestnuts per mu were as terrifying as three thousand catties and one thousand catties, he would have vigorously promoted the cultivation of lotus roots and water chestnuts.

Food that is edible and has an extremely terrifying yield can play a huge role.

Apart from anything else, if there is any natural or man-made disaster, the lotus roots and water chestnuts with such a terrifying yield per acre can handle it even if it is a hard bed.

After all, for the people in Guizhou who suffered from natural and man-made disasters that resulted in poor or even no harvests.

Many times, as long as you give them a little bit of food, they will be able to persevere.

Moreover, it is much better to let the people in Guizhou affected by the disaster eat lotus roots and water chestnuts than to let them eat grass roots, tree bark, or even Guanyin soil.

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

At most, it will ruin your stomach, or your body may suffer from 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 root and water chestnut, it can keep you alive!

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

And if the people in Guizhou can only eat grass roots, tree bark, and Guanyin soil for a long time, then the people in Guizhou will not even have the chance to develop various other minor health problems.

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

Similarly, if lotus root and water chestnut can be used as a temporary substitute for staple food.

So during a war, if lotus roots and water chestnuts are used as military supplies, the court's logistical supply pressure can be greatly reduced.

At least the same three thousand kilograms of military grain were raised by the imperial court, and the output of lotus roots from one acre of pond was enough.

And if we switch to crops and grain in the fields, then the grain output of at least thirty acres of fields is needed to meet the grain needs of three thousand kilograms.

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

Then this is enough to save Qin a very large amount of military and food expenses!

And this saved military and food expenses can be invested in other aspects of construction.

For example, building roads. After unifying the six kingdoms, he always wanted to build a straight road connecting all parts of the world to strengthen Qin's rule.

Another example is the construction of the Great Wall. The Huns in the north have been peeping at the Central Plains. If the Great Wall built by the original princes and countries can be connected, then it will not be so easy for the Huns to invade the Central Plains.

The people in Guizhou on the border of Qin can also live a more stable life and are protected from the invasion of the Huns.

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

If that doesn't work, he can also use the saved military and food expenses to repair his tomb in Lishan Mountain.

In short, water chestnuts with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu and lotus roots with a yield of more than 3,000 kilograms per mu can play many and too great roles.

When Wuchenghou Wang Jian, Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, Tingwei Li Si and other civil and military officials heard the First Emperor's question, they all showed wry smiles.

Is it because they don’t want to tell the First Emperor that the yield of water chestnuts per mu is more than 1,000 jins, and that of lotus roots is more than 3,000 jins per mu?

No, they really wanted to talk to the First Emperor!

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

If they had known about the terrifying per-acre yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots, as well as the huge role that water chestnuts and lotus roots can play, and then reported it to the First Emperor.

To put it bluntly, if they had not had a title before, they could be knighted based on this news alone.

Even if they already have a title, they can still receive a large reward from the First Emperor with this news.

Or it could be Fuze's own descendants, allowing them to be awarded a lower title.

Even if the title awarded is only a lower fifth-class title, it is still a serious title.

In Qin State,���Having a title and not having a title are two completely different things.

However, it is a pity that none of them really knew that water chestnuts and lotus roots had such terrifying yields per mu before Prince Fusu on the sky screen told them about the terrifying yields per mu of water chestnuts and lotus roots.

After all, in this era, almost everyone is fixated on their own one-third of an acre of land.

Not many people have taken a serious look and thought about the horrific output that may be hidden under the rivers, lakes and ponds.

Even if they sometimes pick water chestnuts and lotus roots, they just use them as ordinary vegetables without thinking deeply about them.

Moreover, another very important point is 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 canopy, the function of the world can be communicated.

People in Guizhou all over the world are able to realize that almost everyone knows that there is lotus root hidden under the lotus, and that water chestnuts and lotus root can be used as staple food.

However, can such a reason be used to talk to the First Emperor?

Yes, but it's unnecessary and meaningless.

Therefore, Wuchenghou Wang Jian, Zuo Prime Minister Wei Zhuang, Tingwei Li Si and other civil and military officials all leaned over to admit their mistake:

"¨「¨「The ignorance of the ministers caused the State of Qin and Your Majesty to miss the high-yielding water chestnuts and lotus roots!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also knew that this matter could not be blamed on them. After all, all the civil and military officials had their own important matters to attend to on weekdays, and they were not people who specialized in farming and food crops like the children of farmers.

So I didn't know about water chestnuts. It is normal to have a yield of more than 1,000 jins per mu, and more than 3,000 jins of lotus root per mu.

The reason why I say this is just to take the opportunity to impress the civil and military officials so that they will pay more attention to high-yield grains in the future. In order to avoid missing out on high-yielding grains such as water chestnuts and lotus roots in the future,

Emperor Qin Yingzheng also said calmly:

"Each person will be fined half a month's salary and be freed."

A punishment like half a month's salary is not painful to all the civil and military officials. It can only be regarded as a small warning and a slap.

So all the civil and military officials also said in unison:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, Emperor Qin Yingzheng raised his head and looked at the void in the direction of the farmer's children. Now he is more and more eager to let the farmer's children enter Xianyang quickly.

After all, all the civil and military officials do not know that the yield per mu of water chestnuts and lotus roots is so high. , does not mean that the farmers' children do not know.

Maybe it was because the farmers' children had not entered Xianyang before, so they could not tell him about the high yield of water chestnuts and lotus roots.

If he could let the farmers' children come to Xianyang earlier. Perhaps he would have known earlier that water chestnuts and lotus roots had such high yields per acre.

If Chen Xiang, Chen Xin and other farmers knew that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng had placed such high hopes on them, they would probably say in embarrassment:"We didn't know (Hao Zhao Zhao) before that water chestnuts and lotus roots have such a high yield per mu."

After all, like Master Xu on the sky screen, they have focused most of their research efforts in the past. In the land and acres, they did not study or pay much attention to the possible output in the rivers, lakes and fish ponds.

However, the prince Fusu on the sky screen gave them a warning. If the output in the land and acres cannot be increased temporarily. If so.

Then they might allocate some time and energy to study the output of rivers, lakes and fish ponds, and maybe there will be an unexpected harvest like water chestnuts and lotus roots.

In the hometown of Old Korea, Zhang Liang looked at the water chestnuts mentioned on the sky screen. He and Lotus Root also sighed quietly.

Although he was shocked at first when he heard that water chestnuts can produce more than one thousand jin per mu and lotus roots can produce more than three thousand jins per mu, but after coming back to his senses, he immediately thought of water chestnuts and lotus roots. Lotus root has many shortcomings and limitations.

However, these shortcomings and limitations will inevitably be overshadowed by the terrifying yield figures of one thousand kilograms per mu and three thousand kilograms per mu.

"Qin, the tyrant, is really lucky!"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but said sourly.

Even though in his opinion, water chestnuts and lotus roots have many shortcomings and disadvantages, the terrifying yields of one thousand kilograms per mu and three thousand kilograms per mu are enough to make Qin Guo There was more food, which made Qin's rule more stable and difficult to shake.

"Sure enough, there is no hope of overthrowing Qin."

"Only by assassinating the tyrant can we really have a chance!"

Zhang Liang once again firmly determined in his heart that he would assassinate the First Emperor Ying Zheng instead of overthrowing the Qin State.........Frightened.
