"Hey... Anyway, it should be okay..."
While driving the carriage to meet the First Emperor, Zhao Si had complicated thoughts.
At present, the buffing effect of the raw jade halo on people is relatively easy to explain. After all, Zhao Si can now independently control the switch and coverage range of the raw jade halo. Now, in addition to restoring blood to the First Emperor, Zhao Si usually maintains the raw jade halo. Fully closed.
At present, Xia Wuji has given a reasonable explanation, and Zhao Si needless to say. If one day Zulong becomes suspicious, it will be nothing more than the halo of raw jade.
It’s just that the gains in crops cannot be concealed unless Zhao Si doesn’t use them.
Except for the First Emperor, Zhao Si could turn a blind eye to people's gains.
However, the increase in crops is a matter of blessing and protecting the people. Zhao Si may not have a lot of sense of belonging to Da Qin, but he has a very strong sense of belonging to the nation.
Thousands of Li Shu and Guizhou heads living in this land are all genuine ancestors of Zhao Si.
Zhao Si also thought of other ways, such as using Mendel's pea experiment to deal with it.
But this thing could be used to fool others, but it could not fool the First Emperor. What Zhao Si produced was stable and high-yielding crops.
Unfortunately, the First Emperor had almost no knowledge of him. Not to mention whether he had done this experiment or not, even if he had done it, it would involve state affairs, so he would have to come up with genetic improvement methods, right?
Zhao Si can’t take it out...
The final result is nothing more than arousing suspicion and creating rifts between the ruler and his ministers. Zhao Si really doesn't have much foresight, and he doesn't like to speculate on his thoughts, so he might as well open the skylight and speak frankly.
Zhao Si is not a carefree person, nor does he have the ability to do so. It is better to be more realistic and obey orders honestly.
The First Emperor was not a fool and would definitely not expose his abnormality. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms wished that Qin Shihuang would die soon and the Qin Dynasty would be over soon.
New grains must be promoted and released. At this time, Mendel's pea experiments and talking about genetic inheritance can be used to fool those who want to know more.
As for you asking me how to get high-yielding seeds? Sorry, these are state secrets. Are you asking if these are meant to steal the country?
Anyway, the principle has been told to you, so you can figure it out yourself.
"Damn it, the bad thing is that he has an extra relative..." Zhao Si sighed.
"It's okay if I'm not an illegitimate child. I didn't come from an orphanage. It seems... I'm not the protagonist!" Zhao Si complained as he drove the carriage away.
According to this attitude, he is not a member of the Daqidian Orphanage, and he is probably not destined to be the protagonist.
The carriage travels even to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the banquet has arrived!" Zhao Si bowed and spoke.
The First Emperor got into the car and then waved to Zhao Si.
"Drive for me!"
Zhao Si was stunned and saw the smile on the Emperor's face. He was overjoyed and hurriedly got into the car.
"okay!"
Zhao Si stood still in front of the carriage.
It seemed that the First Emperor accepted his statement.
To be honest, Zhao Si really didn't want to get involved too much in this nonsense. He could feel the closeness and trust of the First Emperor to him. It was this closeness and trust that allowed him to do more things.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Si was unreasonably worried that the First Emperor thought he had secretly taken the elixir of immortality.
Now it seems that the First Emperor is still very close to him and has no memory of him.
"Your Majesty, please sit still!" Zhao Si asked with a smile on his face.
"Well..." The First Emperor's nasal voice was very heavy, as if he wanted Zhao Si to hear it on purpose.
"Then let's drive!" Zhao Si didn't care about the First Emperor's pretentious indifference, and drove the carriage forward with a smile.
Zhao Si was really worried that the First Emperor would be suspicious of him. This was the main reason why Zhao Si chose to be honest. He didn’t think he could hide it from the First Emperor, so it would be better to explain it clearly and take good care of me. If the First Emperor returned the favor, If you have any doubts, run away as soon as possible. If the monarch and his ministers are still close, you can let go.
Zhao Si drove straight outside the palace gate, and found the First Emperor in the carriage with a smile on his face.
Others could express their emotions and anger, but Zhao Si couldn't hold back a fart in his stomach.
Just smile when you’re happy, don’t even ask if you’re unhappy, it’s all clear on your face.
This little guy with a free-spirited temperament is not less sensitive, but he has no sense of authority. Instead, he has the innocence of a child.
Objectively speaking, being an official is too simple and is not a good thing.
But for the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor.
Da Qin's court was not to the point where it could not accommodate a mere Zhao Si who had an innocent temperament and no city government.
"By the way, Your Majesty, where are you going~..."
After driving out of the palace gate, Zhao Si realized that he was only thinking about having fun and had no idea where the First Emperor planned to go.
"Plow the fields!"
The voice of the First Emperor came.
"Your farmland!"
Seemingly worried that Zhao Si would not understand, the First Emperor specifically added a sentence.
"okay!"
Hearing this, Zhao Si looked up at the road and drove the frame faster.
Nowadays, Zhao Si's driving skills are getting better and better, and he can even do some tricks, such as drifting around corners and so on...
Of course, this usually happened when Zhao Si was driving home by himself, with the First Emperor sitting in the back, and Zhao Si was afraid that a drainage ditch would turn around and float Da Qin away.
"Have you ever told anyone about the abnormality in your body?" the First Emperor asked solemnly while sitting in the carriage.
"I haven't said this before. Although I am straightforward, I am not stupid. I discovered these abnormalities not long ago, and I don't dare to publicize them... I just told His Majesty in private." Zhao Si said.
The First Emperor nodded in approval, which was good. If Zhao Si publicized it and made it known to everyone, the First Emperor could be sure that Zhao Si would encounter more assassinations in the future than he did.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms would even prioritize getting rid of Zhao Si before the First Emperor.
In short... the great nobles never starve to death.
The increase in grain yield per acre is more emotional than beneficial to them.
After all, everyone’s yield per mu has increased, and it makes no difference whether they have increased it or not.
If this were to happen, even the First Emperor would have a headache on how to preserve Zhao Si's wealth and life.
However, even if Zhao Si did not publicize it and everyone knew about it, the First Emperor planned to keep Zhao Si within his sight as much as possible in the future, so that Dunwei could strengthen his protection.
After all, Zhao Si's meaning is more than just himself.
If Zhao Si was a pig, even the First Emperor would have to bow to him.
His dragon sons and grandsons all had to kowtow there.
It involves state affairs, so it's not shabby.
"Actually, there's no way to explain this." Zhao Si suddenly replied.
"To be honest, the auspicious destiny is too far-fetched. Da Qin can't just give out the auspicious destiny for nothing, and it always has something to do with me." Zhao Si smiled.
"Actually, I discovered something while I was farming."
Zhao Si gave the First Emperor a brief introduction to Mendel's pea experiments and plant genetics.
And he shamelessly said that he did this experiment himself, so it is now called Zhao Si’s Pea Experiment.
"Through hybridization and artificial genetic selection, the growth direction and process of plants can indeed be affected, but the results are difficult to control. But to be honest, it is not impossible for manpower to produce such high-yielding grain varieties. In my opinion, as long as there are enough With the data and theoretical technical support, even if you can enjoy the shade under the rice, it will not be a problem." Zhao Si had a smile on his face.
In fact, Hyundai did it.
Hybrid rice is a historical milestone.
"Enjoying the coolness under the rice?" The scene described by Zhao Si was indeed very tempting to the First Emperor.
But what the First Emperor was thinking more about was, if there was such a thing, how much territory would Great Qin’s tiger and wolf armies have conquered...and how many buildings could they have built...
"If you can really enjoy the coolness under the rice... it is also the work of a saint!" The First Emperor sighed for no reason.
What a wonderful scene that is?
The people of Great Qin produce a lot of food, and naturally pay more taxes. If they really enjoy the cool air under the rice, wouldn't there be a backlog of grain in the granary of Great Qin that cannot be eaten at all?
Even if it will rot...
With so much food, can a group of people no longer have to farm?
Let them conquer land and build construction specifically for Da Qin, and let them get out of agricultural production? That would be more efficient, right?
The First Emperor didn't know either. After all, there had never been such a beautiful thing in the Qin Dynasty. If there was not enough food to eat, how could there be enough food to eat?
"Yes... the power of a saint." Zhao Si nodded.
No matter what time it is, it is the merit of a saint. It is enough to build a temple and worship the whole country. It is the kind of merit that can directly become a saint in the ancient times.
"Although I can't use this method to produce high-yielding crops at present, I can pass the blame to others."
"Anyway, the matter involves state secrets, and the methods and theories are also given." Zhao Si spread his hands, then realized that he was driving again, and quickly tightened the reins again.
"You don't like destiny?" The First Emperor raised his eyebrows.
"I just feel that Your Majesty no longer needs to rely on destiny to express himself."
"There is no need to blame destiny for everything." Zhao Si added.
The First Emperor did not answer Zhao Si's words, but he agreed with Zhao Si's statement.
Did the First Emperor believe in the existence of these mysterious beings?
It is impossible not to believe that the First Emperor was an ancient man and not a staunch materialist warrior.
He believed in the existence of these things, but as an unprecedented emperor who unified the world, he did not want to express his surrender to these things or things.
Some kings need to rely on destiny to demonstrate the correctness of their rule.
What the First Emperor wanted was for destiny to follow him and surround him.
The First Emperor's nose moved slightly...
Something seems wrong... I always feel like what I want has already been realized?
It seems that since Zhao Si returned, nothing bad has happened to him. Good things have happened one after another, and they do not make any sense at all. Some things cannot be treated with common sense.
Why do you always feel like you are rushing to come over?
(No more…three updates tomorrow.)
