Chapter 42 Population Limits

Outside the mansion, the boy's feet were shaking.

He kept pulling on Fang's sleeves, trying to take him away by force.

However, it was of no use, Fang's footsteps did not move at all.

In other words, he didn't dare to move at all!

Although he didn't see anyone around him, the sharp edges everywhere warned him all the time.

If you dare to move, the end will undoubtedly be very miserable.

The entire Six Village Fort has been completely surrounded!

"tyrant!"

Looking at Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan smiling in front of them, Fang Zai couldn't control his disguise anymore!
He took a step forward, and an obvious ferocity flashed across his handsome face!
"I didn't expect that I, Zhang Liang, would travel all over the six kingdoms in my lifetime!"

"Today, I fell into the hands of you two dog kings because of a curiosity!"

Yes!

There has never been any room for Confucian disciples, and some have only Zhang Liang from beginning to end!

He stopped pretending!

I thought that with my acting skills, I could get away with it even if I was discovered.

He was able to escape from Bolangsha in the first place because he blended into the hunting Qin army.

But obviously, destiny no longer favors him this time!
Zhang Liang stared at Ying Zheng angrily, but Ying Zheng didn't care.

There are so many people in the world who hate him, and they don't care if there is another Zhang Liang.

"Actually, you were wrong."

Ying Zheng stood up with a smile in his eyes: "You didn't fall into my hands, you fell into Cui Yuan's hands."

"It was he who told me that you would appear today and your specific appearance."

"I am holding a banquet here because he promised to bring you here."

"Otherwise, I will make the same mistake again this time and be unable to catch you."

"what!"

Zhang Liang couldn't believe it.

He turned back sharply.

Although it was Cui Yuan who discovered him and brought him here.

But in Zhang Liang's heart, he never took Cui Yuan seriously, he just regarded him as a lackey of the tyrant.

Because Cui Yuan is too young!
As for what the intelligence said came from after 2000, he took it as a joke from beginning to end!

In Zhang Liang's view, Cui Yuan is just another liar Xu Fu, and at most his methods are better than Xu Fu's.

As long as we let it go, the First Emperor will definitely be tricked to death!

However, what he never expected was that Cui Yuan was really capable!

"Cui Yuan! Are you really from after 2000?" Zhang Liang's eyes were on fire!

He still couldn't believe this nonsense!

"Of course!"

Cui Yuan opened the door and stood in the breeze, speaking frankly: "I never lie to people, especially those who are about to die."

Bang!
"Woooo!"

The boy knelt down on the spot, covered his mouth, and cried bitterly!
Zhang Liang's vision went dark and he almost fell down.

But at the last moment, he still relied on his strong willpower to hold on.

He held the wall with one hand, tremblingly passed through the door, came to Ying Zheng, and sat down.

Ignoring the prison car nearby, the dishes in front of me were very strange.

There was only one plate, and it was full of weird objects that looked like lumps of dirt.

If it weren't for the scent wafting out, he almost thought the tyrant was going to kill him with a mud piston!

"Try it, these are the sweet potatoes Cui Yuan brought from the future!" "The yield per mu can reach four thousand kilograms!"

Because it was a reward given by the system, Cui Yuan logically explained its origin as being brought from the future.

Ying Zheng didn’t ask any more questions.

After all, he didn't even figure out how Cui Yuan traveled through time and space.

"Let's eat and see."

Ying Zheng explained, picked up a piece of soil and slowly tore it open in front of Zhang Liang.

The fragrance immediately became dozens of times stronger, making Zhang Liang's eyes transfixed!

The yield per mu is four thousand kilograms! ?

Doesn’t that mean that as long as this grain is available and promoted, the people of Great Qin will be completely free from famine in the future?
The reason why these nobles of the Six Kingdoms were able to continuously incite peasant riots and resist the rule of Qin was.

What they relied on was the control of the original six kingdoms' lands, which could push all natural and man-made disasters to Da Qin.

Now, they first established an academy, selected the noble military generals of the Qin Dynasty to serve as officials, and then came up with a unique food such as sweet potatoes.

How many years can they, the nobles of the Six Nations, survive in the future?

Zhang Liang's face turned pale and there was no color left. Ying Zheng looked extremely satisfied.

Because when he first heard about sweet potatoes, he had a similar reaction.

It seems that he is not the only one who is ignorant.

"Sweet potatoes are native to South America, another continent east of Langye."

"Its output of four thousand catties is actually far from the limit. If the climate is suitable, it can even reach six or seven thousand catties!"

"According to the course of history, it will be introduced to the land of China during the Ming Dynasty 700 years later, and directly support a population of nearly [-] million, creating a prosperous age that will last nearly a hundred years!"

Cui Yuan patiently told the story, picked up the sweet potato and took a bite in front of Zhang Liang.

Feeling the familiar sweetness in his mouth, the young man looked intoxicated.

Although in later generations, there are different opinions on the reasons for the emergence of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong.

Some say it was because the Qing Dynasty produced three generations of Mingjuns, and others say it was because the climate at that time was suitable.

But in Cui Yuan's view, the reason why this century-old prosperity exists is because of the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes!

"From ancient times to the present, people have relied on food. The production of food directly affects the population limit of the feudal dynasty, and also affects the status of the dynasty!"

"Before the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or many dynasties in later generations, their upper population limit was 6000 to [-] million!"

“Because there is only so much land that can be farmed stably, and once it reaches this limit, it will be vulnerable to natural disasters.”

"At that time, as long as there is a slight disturbance, riots will break out in the world, and the people who cannot survive will gather together and try to overthrow the upper-level rulers."

"According to the original historical process, the peasant uprising at the end of Qin a few years later, although the subjective reason was because the nobles of the six countries were unwilling to be ruled by Qin."

"But objectively, it was also because the population at that time had reached this limit, and with constant natural disasters, the people were completely desperate and had no choice but to rebel and overthrow the Qin Dynasty!"

Zhang Liang was dumbfounded and looked at Cui Yuan blankly, with a storm in his mind.

The First Emperor was equally shocked!

Having known Cui Yuan for so long, this was the first time he had seen him tell the story of the demise of Great Qin from the perspective of population limit!
And the most important thing is that what Cui Yuan said makes sense and he can't refute it at all!

There have been constant natural disasters in the Qin Dynasty in recent years. Every time they occur, a large number of refugees will be generated, which will lead to turmoil.

Just because he is still here, the world can barely maintain peace!

I originally thought that this was all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms fanning the flames, but now it seems that the deeper reason is insufficient food production!

"In that case!"

Zhang Liang's eyes turned red, he pressed his hands on the table and looked at Cui Yuan.

"You knew that Great Qin would perish, why did you spare no effort to help this tyrant!"

 Sorry, I just broke up with my girlfriend due to a long-distance relationship in the past few days, so I have been updating. I will try my best to resume updates in the future.

  Thank you all readers for your continued persistence.
