As soon as the young lady released the animals in the Zoo, she ordered people to plow the ground to plant potatoes.
After the animal excrement was turned into the soil, it was pulled out by these ministers before it could be integrated into the soil. You can imagine the smell!
But even so, it couldn't stop the excitement of these ministers!
To them, this is not a potato, but the hope of Da Qin.
Even Li Si, Zhao Cheng and others tried their best to steal it!
The young lady gave the hoe to Fusu and ran to the side to drink tea with her legs crossed!
"Father, I didn't expect potatoes to be so productive!"
Fusu picked up the hoe and dug hard. Sweat was already flowing down his face, but his whole body was still full of energy.
I was so excited when I saw the potatoes being dug out one by one!
"Yes, when Feiyu said that the yield of this thing was three thousand to five thousand catties per mu, I thought it was bragging. As long as it reaches one thousand catties, I would be satisfied. I didn't expect that what this kid said was true!"
Ying Zheng stood the hoe on the ground, placed one hand on the hoe handle, and said happily.
"In the future, we will promote potatoes throughout the country, and the people of my country in Da Qin will no longer have to go hungry!"
Fusu's eyes were glaring, as if he had already seen the people living and working in peace and contentment.
He is a disciple of Confucianism and can love the people as his own son, but the only thing that dissatisfies Ying Zheng is his weak personality and over-brained mind!
That's why I haven't established a prince, just to wait and see if I can improve after some experience!
Now that we have Little Shota, we don’t count on him anymore!
As the potatoes were dug out one by one, Ying Zheng became more energetic and waved the hoe more happily than anyone else.
Before long, a small potato field was turned upside down, and all the potatoes were dug out and laid on the ground to bask in the sun.
Ying Zheng was also very tired. He put his hands on his hips and showed a satisfied smile, "How long has it been since you did this kind of work? It's been more than thirty years, right?"
When he was young, he stayed in the State of Zhao as a hostage. He suffered a lot of hardships and looked down upon. It was only after he returned to the Qin Palace that all the hardships came to an end.
Perhaps it was because of the training during that period that Ying Zheng, who is now decisive in killing and unifying the world, was achieved!
"Come here! Take all these potatoes and weigh them for me. How much is the yield per acre?"
"yes!"
Zhang Han accepted the order and quickly ordered people to do it.
These potatoes slipped through the net of Little Shota. They were later divided into small pieces and planted in the ground. There was no one acre of land at all, so we could only draw conclusions through calculations!
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Han ran back with a happy face.
"how?"
Ying Zheng asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, we have a bountiful harvest of potatoes, with a yield of five thousand kilograms per mu!"
"How many?"
Ying Zheng seemed to have seen a ghost, his originally small eyes suddenly widened.
Fusu was also shocked and speechless.
The yield per mu is five thousand catties!
This is twenty times higher than today’s grain!
It’s really unimaginable!
"Your Majesty, based on the current production volume, five thousand catties per mu is only a lot more!"
Zhang Han held a piece of paper and handed the calculation results to Ying Zheng.
"Okay, okay, haha, okay, God bless me, Da Qin!"
Ying Zheng's hair and beard trembled with excitement.
"That's great. From now on, the people of Great Qin will no longer have to worry about running out of food!"
"Yes, food is the cornerstone of Great Qin. With sufficient food, Great Qin can expand its territory!"
"In the future, if those guys like the Xiongnu and Yuezhi provoke us at the border of Great Qin, we will fight them back directly!"
…
Having food means having confidence, and all the ministers started talking in twos and threes, as if they were drunk.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, shocked the courtiers, rewarded charm value +10, +5, +6...! 】
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, the charm value has reached the full value! 】
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, your strength, speed, agility, and charm are all at full value, and you will be rewarded with god-level archery skills! 】
Xiao Zhengtai sat aside and drank tea leisurely, while the system prompts kept coming in his mind.
When the beep ended, Xiao Zhengtai's eyes flashed and his eyes became clearer.
"Potatoes are high-yield and don't care about soil quality. But if you want to plant them in a large area, you will definitely not take care of them so carefully, and the yield will decrease, but it must be more than two to three thousand kilograms!"
After accepting the system reward, Xiao Zhengtai slowly walked towards the crowd.
"Two or three thousand catties is not bad, it is ten times more than the current grain!"
Everyone present nodded happily.
"My master said that there is a kind of hybrid rice with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, but I don't have the seeds!"
I don’t know if it’s because rice was available in this era, so there has never been hybrid rice among the seeds rewarded by the system.
"What? Hybrid rice?"
"How...how can this thing be hybridized?"
Many ministers blushed after hearing this.
Even Ying Zheng felt embarrassed, "Feiyu, be careful what you say in public. You are still a child. Do you know what hybridization is?"
"I……!"
Little Shota was speechless.
What are these people thinking?
A group of big mangoes, yellow on the outside and even more yellow on the inside!
"The hybrid I'm talking about is not the hybrid you understand, but the hybridization of two excellent varieties with certain genetic differences to produce rice with more powerful genes and increase its yield!"
Koshota rolled his eyes and explained.
"Oh, I see!"
Everyone laughed sheepishly.
"Then...what is a gene?"
Young Master Fusu was very interested in this and continued to ask questions.
"This... this is a long story, and I can't explain it for a while. Let's talk about it later!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand, too lazy to explain.
"All right!"
Fusu was slightly disappointed.
"Um...Father, I have grown so many potatoes, do you want me to roast two of them too?"
Little Shota looked at the piles of potatoes and licked his tongue.
He really didn't eat enough potato chips that day and wanted two more!
"No, absolutely not, don't even think about it!"
However, Ying Zheng decisively refused.
From what I heard, there was no room for maneuver!
"These potatoes will continue to be sown, and we will try to distribute them to the people of Xianyang City next spring!"
"All right!"
Little Shota had no choice but to smack his lips, roll his eyes and stand aside, watching the soldiers plow and sow seeds again.
After everything was done, it was just noon, and everyone went back to their homes.
Xiao Zhengtai picked out a few dishes from the recipe and taught them to the chef. Now he can eat delicious stir-fry dishes without having to do it himself!
Although his craftsmanship is not as good as that of later generations like him, he can still make do with it, which is better than doing it himself!
"Feiyu, I still think your fried ones taste the best!"
Ying Zheng went to Xiao Zhengtai's place to eat, took a piece of spicy chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.
Xiao Zhengtai complained secretly in his heart: Fortunately, the taste was a little bad, otherwise this old guy wouldn't have swallowed his tongue?
"It's a pity that your bottle of Wuliangye is gone. Otherwise, fine wine and delicious food are so beautiful!"
Thinking of the taste of the strong liquor that day, a look of enjoyment appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
It's also because I drank that pure Wuliangye, and now no matter what wine I drink, I feel tasteless!
"Father, don't worry, I have already figured out how to brew that wine, and I will give it to my father to try in a while!"
After the little boy was full, he lay down on the rocking chair to rest.
"Seriously? You can brew Wuliangye?"
Ying Zheng suddenly became energetic and ran to Xiao Zhengtai with chopsticks in his hand.
"No, no, I can't tell you the level of Wuliangye, but it is also a high-quality liquor and as clear as water. It is guaranteed to be much better than the current one!"
Wuliangye will be a famous wine in later generations. Nowadays, the conditions are limited. It is good to be able to brew distilled liquor. He does not dare to compete with Wuliangye.
"Haha, okay, when the wine is ready, you must be the first to give it to me to taste, I will check it for you!"
