Daqin: Your Majesty, quickly abdicate, or your son will turn back

Chapter 58

In the center of the court hall, a sheep stood there. Seeing that the sheep was so fat that it reached the shoulders of an adult, and its figure was only slightly smaller than that of an adult buffalo, everyone's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this is the shepherd that the old minister mentioned."

Wang Jian pointed to the sheep and said, seeing that all the officials were so shocked, his face was full of complacency.

After all, he was the one who discovered this sheep. If it can be imported with this size and this amount of meat, it will definitely benefit the whole of Daqin immensely.

"what's your name?"

Ying Zheng looked at the sheep carefully, but finally his eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the sheep.

"Return to Your Majesty, the villain's name is Zhao Tie."

He was just an insignificant commoner, Zhao Tie was very puzzled why Ying Zheng asked this question, but he didn't dare to ask more, and just answered truthfully.

Hearing the name, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly changed.

Zhao Tie, he remembered this name clearly.

After all, when Wang Jian mentioned the matter of shepherding last time, Ying Yun said that he would suffer a lot from this matter.

Although Ying Zheng wants to ask carefully now, after the roasting of locusts last time, Ying Yun has been pretending to be sick and not coming to the morning court. Thinking of his great achievements, Ying Zheng just turned a blind eye and ignored him.

If he knew that Zhao Tie came so fast today, even if Ying Zheng went to drag him himself, he would have to drag this kid here.

"How much meat does this lamb have?"

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng asked again, his gaze fell on Zhao Tie.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this sheep has only been fed for one year, and it has already reached a weight of three hundred catties, and its body is even fatter. One can feed five people for more than three months. There is no better sheep in the whole of Daqin."

There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in Ying Zheng's eyes, but Zhao Tie didn't seem to be intimidated by that momentum at all.

With a calm complexion, he clasped his hands and replied, every word was very clear, and his eyes were as calm as water, making it impossible to see any problems.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this old minister has eaten this meat. It tastes very fat and is much more delicious than ordinary sheep. If it can be introduced and let the people of Daqin feed it, it will definitely be a great blessing to the whole Daqin!"

Seeing this, Wang Jian also bowed his hands and replied, his face was very sincere.

Thinking of the taste of that mutton, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"What does this sheep usually eat?"

On the dragon chair, Ying Yun kept his eyes fixed, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this sheep usually eats very simple food. It only needs to eat some grass roots and other food. Bringing it to the barren hills can solve the problem of eating."

"If you don't have much time to take it out, just feed it some unused crop skins, or the parts that people can't eat. Feeding is very simple, as long as it is almost a plant, it can be eaten as an ordinary livestock. good."

Zhao Tie continued to clasp his hands and replied, his face was always calm, his eyes didn't waver at all, and he didn't see any problem at all.

'It's not about feeding, so where will I suffer the most? '

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but become more puzzled.

If this sheep can be fed like ordinary livestock, then the feeding process must be relatively simple, so that it can get so much meat, no matter how you think about it, it will definitely not be a disadvantage.

"Li Si, what do you think?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked.

For this prime minister, Ying Zheng still valued it very much. After all, Li Si's knowledge was there, so it would definitely be beneficial to ask for his opinion.

"Return to Your Majesty, if this sheep is really what Zhao Tie said, I think it is feasible!"

"After all, it only takes one year to obtain such a large amount of meat. Not only the people of Daqin will benefit, but even the army of Daqin. If they can have this supply of meat, the overall strength will definitely be greatly improved!"

Li Si cupped his hands and replied, as the prime minister, he had a relatively comprehensive view on things.

"Any more?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Si's opinion. Naturally, Ying Zheng knew the benefits of introducing sheep to the army.

But now what he wants to know is not this, but other opinions, what he told Yingyun, the opinions that will make him suffer a lot.

"If you talk about things after the introduction, it's a matter of promotion. If this sheep can enter every household in Daqin, so that every household can feed it, the benefits will be unimaginable."

"If His Majesty also agrees with this, I can start to think about these policies from now on, and after the introduced matters are implemented, I will start to do this matter."

Regarding Ying Zheng's question, Li Si pondered for a moment, and then mentioned the answer to future promotion.

In order to maximize the income of the sheep, it is naturally the best to allow every household to feed them and make a fuss about the number.

"Things after the introduction are slow, let's discuss it later."

Hearing the answer, Ying Zheng waved his hand casually and didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes!"

Knowing that Ying Zheng didn't appreciate this answer, Li Si didn't say any more, and stepped aside tactfully.

"Your Majesty, if the mutton is sliced, then boiled and other special processing, after a period of drying, it can be made into dried mutton, which can be used as dry food. It is very convenient to carry with you."

"Whether the people are traveling far away or the army needs to march long distances to fight, after having this dried mutton, they can have enough food supplies. It is definitely a rare treasure."

Seeing that Ying Zheng hesitated, Zhao Tie continued to speak.

As soon as these words came out, all the officials shrank their pupils, and they were completely shocked by these words.

The lamb jerky that you carry with you?

If that kind of thing can be made, then a large part of the army's food and grass problem will be directly solved, and it will have a great impact on the victory of the war.

After all, before the army moved, food and grass had to go first.

Since ancient times, grain and grass have always been the key to absolute victory or defeat.

"Your Majesty! I think this method is feasible. If this dried mutton can be used by our Daqin army to fight, then my Daqin army will definitely be invincible!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian could no longer suppress his excitement, and hurriedly cupped his hands.

As a general, he knows best how much the dried mutton can improve the strength of the army.

On the other hand, when Zhao Tie heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, just for a moment, and it was so secret that no one found out.

"I'll think about it for a while and reply later."

Although the two ministers agreed, Ying Zheng thought for a moment, but still did not rush to agree.

"Your Majesty, the villain is still in a hurry, and I'm afraid he will leave Xianyang within two days."

Hearing this, Zhao Tie was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to refuse.

After all, the benefits of this sheep are all there. As a king, Ying Zheng should be the most attractive person.

'oh?Why are you in such a hurry? '

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes changed slightly, and he began to look carefully at Zhao Tie.

He has already realized that Zhao Tie is so anxious, there must be something extraordinary in it.
