Chapter 321: The descendant of the dragon?
Nine hundred pounds!
Oh my god, the yield per acre is so much. Doesn’t that mean that people in the future will never have to go hungry again.
Feng Quji's faces showed smiles again.
Fu Zikang looked a little sad. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, although it is a very gratifying thing to produce nine hundred catties per mu in a year.
But Wei Chen was also worried. "
"What are you worried about?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Cheap grain hurts farmers." Fu Zikang said, "If there is more grain, prices will naturally drop. Once prices are low, farmers will be hurt.
Therefore, Wei Chen didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He only thought about the more food, the better, but he forgot that the low price of grain hurt farmers.
"Li Si, Feng Quji." Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have any good ideas to solve this matter?"
Feng Quji said: "Your Majesty, although too much food will cause low prices and hurt farmers, won't it be the same in the future?
Your Majesty has already asked Gongshu and Mohists to study steam engines. In the future, steam engines will appear to farm cattle. Not only will there be more food in the world, but many farmers will no longer have to work in the fields.
That being the case, why should we worry about this?
Besides, it is better to have more food than less food. There is food at home and there is no panic in the heart. The people will not mind that there is more food, they will only complain that there is less food. "
"Feng Xiang is right." Li Si continued, "Nowadays, people in the world only eat two meals a day because they are worried that if they eat one more meal, they will not have enough food.
If there is more food, the court can promulgate new dietary methods, including three meals a day. In this way, the people can get better health and live longer.
In addition, the land does not necessarily have to grow food, but can also grow other things.
Wei Chen knew that there was a kind of rapeseed in Qin'an's crops. The rapeseed could be eaten, the rapeseed flowers could be used by bees to collect nectar, and the rapeseed could be pressed into oil.
This oil is a vegetable oil, perfect for cooking. To this end, Weichen suggested opening up some fields to plant rapeseed flowers and raise bees at the same time.
Wei Chen learned the method of raising bees from Qin An. If he wants to drink honey in the future, he no longer has to risk his life to find wild honey. "
Li Si just finished speaking.
Feng Quji continued: "Your Majesty, growing rapeseed flowers is one aspect. You can also grow other vegetables. The growth cycle of vegetables is shorter than that of food. You can plant it several times a year.
Especially leeks, they can grow again after being cut once. They can be cut five or six times a year, and they only need to be planted once a year.
In addition to growing vegetables, you can also grow tea and fruits. These are all good things to increase people's income.
However, the first condition for growing these things is that there needs to be enough food for everyone to eat.
In addition, the imperial court needed to purchase a large amount of grain for preservation. The purpose of this was to provide enough grain for the imperial court in the event of natural disasters.
Not only can it be provided to disaster victims, but more importantly, it can stabilize food prices in the market, which also stabilizes people's hearts. "
"That's right." Ying Zheng said: "If people have food at home, they will not panic in their hearts, let alone rebel against Qin.
The cabinet drafted a decree to appoint farmer Xu Zhi as a Baiyue agricultural official to manage all agricultural affairs in Baiyue. Others must assist him.
Xu Zhi can directly submit a letter to the cabinet or me, without having to go through other people's hands. "
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Si and others said at the same time.
Ying Zheng nodded and continued: "In addition, let me tell the world that farmer Xu Xing has mastered a new planting technology that can produce three hundred kilograms of rice per mu. Soon, he plans to introduce new food crops, rice, throughout Daqin.
Write down the planting methods. In addition, the methods of cultivating rice seedlings were also written down to let the common people know. "
After Ying Zheng read all Xu Xing's memorials, he frowned again and said, "Xu Xing also said something about the future of Great Qin?"
"What's the matter?" Li Si and Feng Quji asked at the same time.
Meng Yi, Fu Zikang and other nine ministers also looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously.
Regarding the future of Great Qin, is this possible?
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "There are monsters in the Baiyue Land. They are huge in size. The smallest ones are as long as a human being, and the longest ones can reach more than ten meters.
It has a long face, a big mouth, sharp teeth, short legs, claws, webbed toes, and a long and heavy tail. It has thick skin and scales and is very fierce. It crawls very slowly on land and swims very fast in the water.
This is not the point. The point is that the murderer's face looks very much like the legendary dragon.
According to the descriptions of the South Vietnamese tribes, these ferocious beasts are the descendants of divine dragons, and they have been entrenched in South Vietnam all year round.
Every year, human beings are sacrificed to them.
Originally, Xiang Yu planned to kill all these ferocious beasts, but some people were afraid that these ferocious beasts were the descendants of divine dragons and would affect the national destiny of Qin.
Therefore, Xu Zhi reported the matter. "m.
"Your Majesty, what I'm curious about is why General Wang Ben didn't report this matter?" Li Si said.
The descendant of Shenlong, this is no joke. Let’s not say whether it is or not. Even if it is an ordinary beast, it must be reported.
"Li Xiang, you seem to have forgotten that General Wang Ben just passed by and went directly to Xiou. The people who were in charge of the overall situation at the beginning were Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao." Feng Quji reminded.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tuo is indeed rebellious. Fortunately, I learned about the situation in advance and eradicated him."
"Your Majesty is wise," Li Si said.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "It's just thanks to Qin An's reminder. The top priority is how to deal with this vicious beast.
They eat meat, and villagers have already been killed by them.
If Xu Zhi and a group of others are eaten by such ferocious beasts, it will be a loss for Great Qin. I will never allow such a thing to happen. "
"Your Majesty, why don't you draw the appearance of the ferocious beast and let me see it? Maybe you will know what this ferocious beast is and whether it is the descendant of the dragon." Feng Quji said.
"The current plan can only be this." Ying Zheng said, "If it is really the son of the dragon, killing him will indeed affect the fate of the country of Qin."
Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty, ferocious beasts are ferocious beasts, even if they are the descendants of divine dragons, when they come to the human world, they must abide by the laws of the human world.
The laws of the world today are the laws of the Qin Dynasty. If they violate the laws of the Qin Dynasty, they will be punished by the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
I have the courage to kill several ferocious beasts to appease the people. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "You are right, I am the greatest in the world, even if a god descends to earth, you must obey my orders.
He ordered Xiang Yu to kill a ferocious beast to appease the people. "
"Your Majesty is wise." Meng Yi said.
Li Si said: "Your Majesty, you might as well wait a few days. It won't take long to get to Zhaojiacun."
"Although it doesn't take long to get to Zhaojiacun, it will take a long time for Nanyue to send the paintings of ferocious beasts to the palace." Meng Yi retorted in a deep voice.
As a court lieutenant, how could he want to see murderers go unpunished, not even ferocious beasts?
Some people died, but not completely...
