Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 33
"Then ask the old god for me if there are any crops with a relatively high yield." Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said, Daqin is really too poor, and the food is only the same, and the yield is still very low.

He still has millions of troops to support, and countless Qianshou are still hungry.

Zhao Qingrui glanced at her father in surprise, thinking that her father seemed to have said that there is also a grain store in the house, and soon felt relieved.

"Ahem, you don't need to ask Master for this, I have it."

"You have?" Ying Zheng sat up straight unconsciously.

"Yeah, Dad, haven't you paid attention to our family's farm?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Dad speechlessly.

"I think you like that Zhuangzi, so I let you grow it yourself, and I don't care much about it." Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed, and he really didn't pay much attention to this matter.

The news sent by the guards every half month is basically what the girl has done, and other things will be reported, as long as it is not a threat to the girl, he basically ignores it.

"Tell me about Zhuangzi's affairs." Ying Zheng said quickly, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by his daughter.

"In addition to rice, the Zhuangzi grows sweet potatoes and potatoes. These are the seeds given by my master." The unwarranted master once again took the blame.

"Sweet potatoes and potatoes have a high yield. The yield per mu has reached nearly [-] shi. If the plant is good, it may be more. The planting is also simple, and it is resistant to cold and drought." Zhao Qingrui said seriously. She has exchanged these things for a long time. Yes, it's just that I haven't taken it out all the time, mainly because I'm worried about causing all kinds of troubles.

(Note: Emperor Shi Huang unified the weights and measures. One catty is about 258.24 grams in modern times, which is equal to 0.516 catties in the present, and one tael is equal to 16.14 grams.)
(In the Qin Dynasty, 24 baht was one tael, one 16 tael was one catty, thirty catties was one jun, and four jun was one stone. Converting one stone into the current unit of measurement is 109 kilograms.)
"So many? It's impossible." Both the monarch and his ministers stared wide-eyed. The number was too exaggerated and unreal.

Daqin's grain is mainly millet, and the yield per mu is at most a little more than one stone.

"If you don't believe me, you can call the people in the village and ask them." Zhao Qingrui casually arranged the bamboo slips on the desk.

Seeing that Zhao Qingrui was not afraid of the two going to investigate at all, Ying Zheng couldn't sit still.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to go back and ask." Ying Zheng looked deeply at Zhao Qingrui.

"Just ask, Dad, the potatoes you ate these days are from Zhuangzi. They taste good, right? There are many ways to eat potatoes, and they can be used as a staple food." Zhao Qingrui shook her feet, arranged the bamboo slips in her hands and put them on the shelf Come on, Dad is hooked.

Ying Zheng looked at his daughter meaningfully, "With such a high yield of grain, why don't you hand it over to the court? You will definitely get a lot of rewards."

"Father, you are so naive. Our family is a merchant. If we take these things out, can we keep them?"

Meng Yi poured a glass of warm water for the two of them, he also likes to eat potatoes, his ears perked up, listening to what Zhao Qingrui said.

Yingzheng was speechless, and his daughter didn't trust him and Daqin too much.

Looking at his father's face, Zhao Qingrui knew what he was thinking.

"Father, don't blame me for doing this. You have also seen that there is a lot of land in Daqin, but what kind of life do the heads of Guizhou live? I took out potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the heads of Guizhou may not have a chance to plant them." Zhao Qing Rui pouted.

When her great career is accomplished, those nobles will be the first to clean up.

Ying Zheng was silent. He also knew about Da Qin's situation, but he didn't think of a solution.

Meng Yi also fell into deep thought. In fact, the Meng family also has a lot of land, not short of money, not short of food and drink.

There are many others like him in Daqin, especially those old Qin nobles.

However, Daqin's treasury is indeed very poor.

"Okay, let's get down to business, Dad, this plan must be followed every day in the future, and Uncle Meng will be responsible for supervision." Zhao Qingrui picked up the weight loss plan and shook it.

Zhao Qingrui's words directly brought the two people who were thinking back to reality, and Ying Zheng's face was distorted for a moment.

"Don't look at me, you promised me, and I also fulfilled your request." Zhao Qingrui raised a bright smile on his face, and when he looked back, the system refreshed the good things, so let's choose another gift for Dad.

Ying Zheng was discouraged, compromised, and said weakly, "Got it."

"Uncle Meng, you are in charge of supervision, you can't let my father eat other things."

Meng Yi took the piece of paper solemnly, as if it was extremely heavy, "Don't worry, miss, I will definitely supervise the master."

Ying Zheng: It's reversed. Everyone is in charge of him. Who is the emperor?Who is the father?
Forget it, this is his own daughter, he doesn't care about her generosity.

"Father, go to bed early, I have already ordered at home, the cook will cook according to my requirements, and Uncle Meng has to watch over Dad when he is outside."

Watching his daughter walk away, Ying Zheng's quiet eyes fell on Meng Yi.

Meng Yi pretended not to see it, carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms.

"Your Majesty, go to bed early. The little princess' plan says to go to bed early and get up early, and get enough sleep."

Ying Zheng:. It's going online so soon?Well, Meng Yi, you thought that with the backing of a little girl, you would go to heaven, right?
Before the morning court the next day, Ying Zheng sent someone to Jingshui Pavilion.

The people from the Mohist family who had stayed in Jingshui Pavilion for two days felt that they were not used to taking classes here at first, so a group of little carrot heads followed them.

They also have to relearn the words here, which they have never seen before.

In addition to literacy, there are other things to learn. The teacher who teaches is very good and knows a lot of things.

Especially in the mathematics class, this has attracted many people's interest. The calculation of these data is too convenient, and it is of great use to the Mo family.

Because of this, they became more and more serious in class.

It is the intention of His Majesty and Juzi to come here. They only regard this place as a branch of the Mohist family, and stay here to develop. They did not expect to have unexpected gains after coming here.

"Brother Han, why are you studying with these children?" Yan Shuang bumped Han Xin's shoulder and asked curiously.

Yan Shuang is only in his teens, but he has relatively good talent, and he has never left Xianyang before.

This time, he came to Jingshui Pavilion with the big troops, and the young man was curious about everything.

In the elementary school in Jingshui Pavilion, Han Xin, a tall man, was studying with a group of children, which seemed out of place.

"I just came here too, and I came here a few days before you." Han Xin was not used to this familiar boy.

"Well, where is Brother Han's house? Why do you come here to study?"

"I'm originally from Huaiyin, and I don't know why they brought me here, they just asked me to study first." Han Xin's eyes were also a little blank.

"Huaiyin? Where is it? Is it far from Beidi County? Is it fun?" Yan Shuang looked at Han Xin with bright eyes. He was particularly interested in everything outside Xianyang.
