All Heavens: Start a Heavenly Dao Building

Chapter 42 Delusional meddling in the lifeline of Daqin, courting death

Even the food produced by the best fertile fields in Guanzhong is far less than this mysterious potato!

If potatoes were planted in a large area in Daqin, why would Daqin worry about food shortages, and why would so many people starve to death every year?
The Great Qin court doesn't have to worry about food and grass!
The people of Daqin are all well-fed and well-fed, so who else would put their head on the waistband of his trousers to make him a rebel against Yingzheng?

Now Daqin, be steady!
Chen Qilin was not surprised when he saw the excited expressions of Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Wang Ben.

In ancient times, the productivity was low, coupled with the problem of grain crops, the family worked hard to cultivate for a year, and even when the year was good, they might not be able to eat enough.

If the times are bad, they will sell their sons and daughters.

In the year of catastrophe, there will even be a tragic human tragedy!
Even in those so-called peaceful and prosperous times in ancient times, such as the reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty and the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, some people would still starve to death due to lack of food!
Not to mention, other years of war and famine!

The significance of Chen Qilin's taking out potato seeds is evident.

"Sir, how many potato seeds do you have? Can Da Qin be able to farm on a large scale?" Ying Zheng returned to his senses and continued to ask.

If it is only a very small amount of potato seeds, it will not have much effect temporarily.

Chen Qilin pointed to the backyard: "Your Majesty, I have 500 stone of potato seeds piled up in my backyard. You can send someone to carry them back, select good fields for breeding in Guanzhong, and distribute them to the people after a bumper harvest. Promote large-scale sowing in Daqin!"

"I'm on behalf of the Qin people, thank you sir!!!" Ying Zheng clenched his fists excitedly.

"Mr.'s merit to the people is comparable to that of Shennong!" Fusu also clenched his fists.

"Sir, I'm a rude man who can't speak, but I think that Mr. is really a great benefactor to the people!" Wang Ben also said sincerely.

Chen Qilin waved his hand and said:
"Okay, everyone, don't put a high hat on me!"

Then he picked up the sweet potato and shook it in front of Ying Zheng and Fusu.

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Sir, what is this?"

In the pre-Qin period, there was no sweet potato at all, and Ying Zheng and the others did not know each other.

Sweet potatoes are native to South America and the Greater and Lesser Andres Islands, which are very far away from China. They were brought to the Philippines and other countries by Spanish colonists for planting, and then introduced to China around the Wanli period in the late Ming Dynasty.

If Ying Zheng and Fusu knew sweet potatoes now, it would be hell.

Chen Qilin said to Ying Zheng:
"Your Majesty, in addition to potatoes, I also prepared sweet potato seeds for you. The yield of this food crop can generally reach 3500 jin per mu, or about 35 shi.

It is also very convenient to plant sweet potatoes without picking the ground... Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, the vines on the ground can be used as fodder for pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, and the underground rhizomes can be used as food, which is equally convenient to store. "

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Wang Ben and the others were excited again when they heard what Mr.

It's another fairy's baby bump! ! !
Mr. is really amazing, he is like a fairy!
All at once, take out two grain seeds that are enough to change the fate of a country!

This is not an exaggeration. The people take food as their heaven, and whoever keeps them full is their heaven!

After Ying Zheng has potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin will be as stable as a rock!
Chen Qilin confidently said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the prince, with these potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin's food problem will definitely be completely solved in the coming year."

"What Mr. said is very true!" Ying Zheng nodded.

Chen Qilin continued: "Now, I will talk to His Majesty about increasing the revenue of the national treasury."

"Sir, please enlighten me, I am all ears!" Ying Zhenghu said with great anticipation.

Mr. is like a god-like existence, and many problems that he thought were unsolvable, he could always resolve them one by one.

Fusu and Wang Ben are also looking forward to it!

Chen Qilin raised the materials on the production techniques of cement, glass, and refined salt (sea salt drying process) in his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to cooperate with the Daqin court to establish a state-owned enterprise!"

"State-owned enterprise?"

Ying Zheng, Fusu, and the others were dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Chen Qilin explained: "It's me and Your Majesty who work together to do business!"

In the whole of Daqin, only Chen Qilin dared to say this!
Doing business with Qin Shihuang, the tone is simply heavenly!
"I, I understand!" Ying Zheng finally understood.

"I don't know what business you want to do with me, sir?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Chen Qilin said: "At present, there are three businesses I want to run with Your Majesty: one is salt!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ben became nervous, and couldn't help breaking a cold sweat on behalf of Mr.
Salt and iron are the monopoly of the imperial court!
Since Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang reused the Shang Yang reform, he learned from the prime minister of Qi, Guan Zhong, who brought the monopoly of salt and iron to the imperial court, which made the imperial court earn a lot of money and become rich.

A large part of the revenue of the Daqin treasury now comes from the salt franchise.

The salt franchise is one of the lifelines of Daqin's economy, but Mr. !

How could a monarch as majestic as Ying Zheng tolerate others peeping at the salt business? !
"Sir, salt and iron are the exclusive business of the imperial court, and the salt business is also an important source of revenue for the treasury. I cannot cooperate with you!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face disappeared and was replaced by seriousness, he shook his head and simply refused.

Although Ying Zheng admired his husband very much, and he helped him a lot, but he would not betray the interests of the country because of this.

In addition, Daqin has mastered the salt technology, and there is no need to cooperate with others!
If someone else said this to Ying Zheng today, he would have told Wang Ben to draw a knife and chop him into meat sauce and exterminate the three clans!

Simply daring and lawless, and the salt business wants to get involved!

Fusu hurriedly added: "Sir, salt and iron are one of the lifebloods of the imperial court. The royal father is indeed unable to cooperate with you. Please forgive me, sir!"

He knew that his husband was very important to Da Qin, and he didn't want the relationship between his husband and his father to become rigid!
The original words were all about this, but Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Wang Ben thought that Chen Qilin would retreat and give up.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qilin took out two small packets and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, first look at the difference between the table salt I made and the table salt in your Daqin, and it's not too late to make a decision!"

He was not annoyed, Ying Zheng's reaction was within his expectations.

Speaking of which, Chen Qilin opened the paper package, and saw a small pile of delicate, white and crystal powder-like objects, which was refined salt.

He opened another paper package, and there were particles of different sizes and some mottled colors inside, which was Da Qin's current salt.

No comparison no harm!
The refined salt and the Daqin salt are compared together, and the two are judged on top of each other.

One is like a virtuous, virtuous, gentle lady like jade, the other is like a village girl with freckles and thick hands and feet...

"This... is this the salt that Mr. boiled?!"

Ying Zheng stared at the tiger's eyes and pointed at Jingyan, saying incredulously.

　Second, thank you for your support, continue to ask for tickets, and there will be a third update in the evening, which is being written~
