"color!"
The First Emperor held sweet potatoes and potatoes tightly in his hands, as if he was holding the future of the Qin Dynasty. This is a crop with a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu.
Even the First Emperor, who had experienced countless storms and waves, could not restrain his inner joy, despite the many flaws of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Putting down the sweet potatoes, the First Emperor picked up the corn.
Unlike sweet potatoes, corn can become a staple food, but the yield is much higher than that of current grains. The First Emperor raised it slightly, with a smile on his face.
The classic photo of the Corn Emperor appeared in Zhao Si's mind for no reason, and it seemed to echo each other at this moment.
The First Emperor plated three dishes of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn one by one before he remembered the people around him and waved his hands to signal him to stand up.
Zhao Si and others then stood up. The First Emperor walked up to Zhao Si. The First Emperor, who was half a head taller than Zhao Si, lowered his head slightly, looked at Zhao Si with a smile in front of him and said, "Is there any hindrance to harvesting a few days later?"
"As long as it doesn't rain, it won't be a big problem for a few days." Zhao Si answered.
Because of the huge and unexpected output, the significance of the three new grains of sweet potato, corn and potato is not simple.
They are not only new crops from overseas, but also destiny!
When time permits, the harvesting of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn must of course be announced to the world. The ancestors will be worshiped at the top, Li Shu at the bottom, praying to the mountains and rivers, and the harvest will be harvested under the witness of heaven and earth, hundreds of officials, ancestors, Li Shu, and everyone.
As long as the First Emperor does not die, the Six Kingdoms will only dare to make small moves secretly.
Either it was an assassination with no chance of success, or it was the so-called public opinion offensive, which was all about gods and ghosts.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms control local public opinion, and Da Qin cannot touch the countryside of the world. Except for the Guanzhong area, Da Qin is inherently at a disadvantage in public opinion.
Qin law was misinterpreted, Qin laws were abused, and the local nobles squeezed the local people and finally pointed the finger at the First Emperor. This was their tried and tested method.
Unifying weights and measures, unifying currency, how many remnants of the Six Kingdoms took advantage of the changes in weights, measures and currency to make profits, and shirk the responsibility to the First Emperor? It was the local nobles who oppressed the people, but it was Da Qin who bore all the anger.
Not to mention, how the remnants of the Six Kingdoms added fuel to the fire in the process of practicing the same principles and changing customs. The current First Emperor was synonymous with tyrants outside Guanzhong, and the current Great Qin was also notorious.
Were the people of the Six Kingdoms not oppressed before the unification of the Qin Dynasty? This may not be the case. In fact, after the Qin unified the world, the lands of the nobles were confiscated. In addition to being used to reward the Qin people in the pass, the local people of the six countries were also granted lands.
The Qin Dynasty, including the First Emperor, was completely at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion.
After all, the mouth of one country is not worth the mouth of six countries.
This was true even if the First Emperor unified the world. Although the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, they still kept talking. They did not dare to rebel out of respect for Qin's powerful force, but in public opinion they struck hard.
And right now, these three new foods are undoubtedly an absolute counterattack!
Destiny! In Qin!
If not, why did Zhao Si stay in Fusang instead of Xu Fu?
If not, why was Zhao Si able to survive in the waves of the sea where he was destined to die a hundred times?
If not, why could Zhao Si go to great lengths to bring back thousands of kilograms of divine grain per acre?
These three new grains can not only alleviate the current fierce pressure and contradictions in Daqin, but also greatly improve the public opinion situation in Daqin.
Now that the high yields of the three new grains are certain, no matter what angle it comes from, it is necessary for Da Qin to make the first punch to reverse public opinion.
The First Emperor turned to look at Zou Feng, whose face was also full of spring breeze.
"Your Majesty, within ten days, the wind will be warm and the sun will be beautiful!"
Zou Feng, a contemporary representative of the Yin Yang family, has a core skill of stargazing. If he says it won’t rain within ten days, then it definitely won’t rain.
"Good!" The First Emperor nodded, and then left the field with Meng Yi. But he didn’t put down the sweet potatoes in his hands and the corn in his arms.
Zhao Si silently moved out of the way, intending to watch the First Emperor leave, but was unexpectedly called out by the First Emperor on the spot.
"Go with me!"
When the First Emperor spoke, Zhao Si immediately bowed to accept the order and followed the First Emperor's steps step by step.
After arriving at Jiaxue, the First Emperor did not get in the car, nor did he let Meng Yi continue to drive for him. Instead, he looked at Zhao Si and asked, "Have you learned how to control a horse recently?"
"A little gain!" Zhao Si nodded, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. This was something the First Emperor had told him more than a month ago. Of course, Zhao Si did not take it lightly.
Fortunately, my friend Wang Li is a driving expert. Although Lantian Camp has been dismantled a lot, it still does not lack tanks. Zhao Si has nothing to do every day. He drives horses, studies, and occasionally solves physical problems. After more than a month of study, Although he is not an experienced driver, he usually has no problem on the road, and occasionally he can do some fancy things.
"Drive for me!" the First Emperor said, and then got into the carriage with the help of Zhao Gao.
Meng Yi, who was originally driving, smiled and patted Zhao Si on the shoulder, then stood in the passenger seat.
When Zhao Si stepped onto the driver's seat and took the reins, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The person sitting in the car was the First Emperor. Although he no longer came into contact with the First Emperor once or twice, driving for the Emperor was still a rare honor, especially being appointed by the First Emperor to drive.
"Concentrate!" Meng Yi, standing in the passenger seat, spoke softly.
He could feel Zhao Si's emotions. The scene in front of him was too familiar. Once upon a time, he drove for the first time for the First Emperor, and his performance was even worse than Zhao Si's.
Zhao Si nodded, looking at the six strong black horses that were ready to go before driving, and urged the reins.
"drive!"
Da Qin's most noble and core chariot was driven by Zhao Si!
…
Zhao Si's skills in driving the horse at high speed are not too exquisite, but fortunately the road is flat and open, and the road is quite orderly, neither fast nor slow, and there are no bumps. With Meng Yi guiding the road, Zhao Si drove here quickly. To the palace.
The First Emperor stepped out of the drive and glanced at Zhao Si with a satisfied expression. The fact that he could drive to this point in more than a month showed that Zhao Si had not slackened in his studies.
"Come with me!"
The First Emperor spoke, and Meng Yi and Zhao Si followed behind him.
Zhao Gao was responsible for driving the driver to CRRC Mansion.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhao Si has stepped into the imperial palace of Qin Dynasty, which belongs exclusively to the First Emperor's palace.
Although Zhao Si did not move his head, his eyes kept moving left and right. This was the Qin Palace, the Qin Palace more than two thousand years ago!
Along the way, there was nothing too luxurious. The overall feeling given to Zhao Si was that of simplicity and grandeur.
The roads are basically wide and straight, and most of the turns are at neat right angles.
From what you can see, the layout is mainly square and circular.
The colors are relatively cold, and even the flowers and plants are trimmed neatly, piece by piece, as if the Qin kings of all dynasties had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Palaces are also mainly large. The palace is large, with large internal activity space and few facilities and objects.
The colors are mostly black and gray, and there are also other colors for decoration, which can bring a slightly lively atmosphere, but the overall look is still relatively solemn.
Even the stone slabs paved on the road are all neatly rectangular, large, neat, and perfectly fitted.
Walking and looking all the way, the First Emperor didn't stop until he entered a palace. Zhao Si subconsciously looked at the layout inside.
Lamp posts, tables, screens, memorials, incense burners, bookshelves...
Zhao Si noticed that there was something very familiar to him hanging on the wall behind the desk.
It is the map of the world that I drew with my own hands!
The slightly scrawled world map was hung on the wall like that. The previous wrinkles seemed to have been smoothed out, and the occasional missing corners had been repaired. Some unclear ink marks on it had also been copied again.
Zhao Si felt something strange in his heart for no reason. In fact, from his own heart, he knew that dedicating a map of the world to the First Emperor was essentially a joke.
Anyone with any sense knows that it is impossible for Da Qin to conquer the world.
Not to mention conquering the world, it is still unclear whether the Great Qin can reach the four ends of the world. It is important to know that the territory of the Great Qin Empire is not too big. At the moment, the Great Qin has only conquered the six countries and only occupied the Hetao. In this area, Baiyue is still in the process of conquest.
However, Zhao Si was still a little moved when he saw that the world map he had drawn out of bad taste in his previous life was so cherished and hung on the wall by the First Emperor.
The First Emperor's room was very monotonous...
Zhao Si looked around, and the most common things he saw were bamboo slips...on the desk, on the bookshelf...
The First Emperor stopped and turned around, looking at Zhao Si, only to find that the boy was moving his eyes in a sly manner again.
It's just that last time I was looking at myself, this time I was looking at my palace residence.
As if...curious? The First Emperor could feel that Zhao Si did not mean to disrespect him, and the First Emperor could also feel Zhao Si's undisguised curiosity.
It was slightly offensive, but the First Emperor didn't dislike it. He just looked at Zhao Si's rolling eyes with a smile on his face, until Zhao Si's eyes turned to the First Emperor's half-smiling face.
Zhao Si smiled sarcastically, clasped his toes on the soles of his shoes, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Are you curious?" The First Emperor sat down in front of the table, minding his own business, and then motioned for Zhao Si to sit down as well.
"Prepare to pray for the mountains and rivers to pay homage to our ancestors, notify all civil and military officials, and urgently dispatch officials from all counties and counties in the world!" the First Emperor said to Meng Yi.
The magical grain with a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu was definitely worthy of special mention in the feudal era, especially in the Qin Dynasty, which was still barbaric and had an average yield of about one hundred kilograms per mu.
In such an era, a thousand kilograms of grain per mu means destiny, especially the experience of these three new grains coming to Daqin with a strong legendary color.
Xu Fu went to sea to seek immortality... deceived the emperor and made himself king!
Zhao Si, a loyal man, lived up to the king's orders and seized the ship to go to sea to find the immortal seed!
If you don't move, it will be enough. If you move, it will cause a sensation in the world and a complete turnaround of public opinion. The First Emperor wants to tell the world clearly and tell the remnants of the Six Kingdoms that Qin's destiny lies with him!
This was the feudal era more than 2,000 years ago. The imperial seals of the First Emperor were engraved with the inscription “Ordered by Heaven!” May you live forever!
Zhao Si's return is full of legend and uncertainty!
Why would a boy named Zhao Si live up to the king's orders? He was obviously less than ten years old when he went to sea.
Why can Zhao Si lead a group of teenage children to seize a ship and go to sea!
How could they find these three new grains in such a vast overseas world?
Why can they still find their way back to Da Qin?
Why are these three new grains not growing as well overseas as in Great Qin?
Even as the First Emperor, it is difficult not to feel that this is the destiny of Qin and the destiny of me!
Everyone in the world will feel the same way.
What is more effective than public opinion is the actual product!
"Wei!" Meng Yi bowed and accepted the order to leave.
Only then did the First Emperor turn his gaze to Zhao Si again with a smile, waiting for Zhao Si's answer.
It was obvious that the First Emperor was still thinking about what happened when he peeped while sleeping last time. Zhao Si's mind was spinning for a long time and he didn't know how to quibble.
"Well... I went to sea when I was young, and I haven't been able to see His Majesty for more than ten years..." Zhao Si began to rack his brains to make up.
The First Emperor burst into laughter when he saw the embarrassed smile on Zhao Si's face. He could feel that Zhao Si had no malicious intent to pry, and was just joking.
Seeing that Zhao Si was in embarrassment and his little evil taste had been satisfied, the First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with a serious face and said: "Corn, the yield per mu is much higher than that of grains, but it only takes three months to mature. Can wheat, chestnuts, and beans be replaced with corn?" Will all the grain be replaced by corn farming?”
These days, whether it tastes good or not is secondary. Whether it is edible or not is the most important thing.
If we really want to say it is delicious, wheat is not much better. The wheat rice of this era is not shelled, and the taste is not even as good as corn.
