Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 323: 300 acres of land and 1 people are enough!

Without the obstruction of the Korean pursuers, everyone quickly returned to Qin smoothly.

After returning to Xianyang, Yingjun asked Dianwei to send all the more than [-] kilograms of pig iron seized from South Korea to the previous weapons shop. In addition to the [-] kilograms of pig iron previously allocated to Yingjun from the treasury, it was ten thousand kilograms away. Ten thousand kilograms of pig iron is almost enough.

It will take a long time to forge all these materials into horse equipment. As for the missing materials, you only need to slowly acquire them from other countries. With these horse equipment, you can create a batch of fully armed of cavalry.

Although these cavalry are not as strong as the tiger and leopard cavalry under his command, as well as cavalry such as Bai Ma Yicong who have experienced long-term battles, this is a cavalry built by him personally, and as long as there are enough war horses and pig iron materials , these cavalry can be trained continuously and become the main force sweeping across the six countries.

Guowei's mansion.

Jia Xu watched Ying Jun and others return safely, and her worried heart gradually calmed down. When she learned what happened from Zhao Yun's mouth, she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, but she was still more impressed.

After all, looking at the six countries, no one dared to be like Yingjun, who took away 300 kilograms of pig iron from the capital of South Korea with only [-] people, and the other party did not even notice when he left.

This extraordinary courage alone is not something that those young masters of the same age as Yingjun can possess, and even some kings in other countries cannot achieve it.

As long as there is a king among these countries who can win Jun, then the other six countries will not be unilaterally crushed by Qin.

Jia Xu looked at Zheng Guo, who was sitting across from him, then turned to look at Ying Jun, and said respectfully: "My lord, although Zheng Guo has come to Qin this time, if Zheng Guo is directly given an official rank, he can build water conservancy projects." , will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some ministers in the DPRK."

"But if he is not given an official position, and Zheng Guo is of Korean origin, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it may even seriously affect the progress of the construction project."

Jia Xu's words awakened Ying Jun.

Ying Jun naturally understands this truth.

In addition, the Qin State has strict laws and has always spoken based on merit and strength.

Although the King of Qin promised that he could grant rewards on his own, if he wanted to directly grant Zheng an official position in charge of water conservancy, it would inevitably be unfair to others and cause dissatisfaction.

After thinking again and again, Yingjun decided not to give Zheng Guo an official position. Then he looked at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Xu, Zheng Guo travels to and from Qin, and his family has no place to live. You can take some money from my food offering. Find a place for them to settle down first.”

"Then let Zheng Guo work by your side first. You two must achieve an annual output of 300 million stones before this batch of grain is harvested."

Jia Xu quickly stood up, bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

Zheng Guo, on the other hand, looked at Ying Jun with dumbfounded eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

300 stone!

Annual output of 300 million stones of grain!

This... how is this possible?

Even if he solved the water supply problem of the fields in Korea before, making the land fertile and doubling the growth of crops, he could still achieve an annual output of 100 million dan.

But Yingjun asked them to produce 300 million shi of grain per year!
This is simply impossible to do!
Even if he tried his best, he still couldn't meet the annual production requirement of 300 million stones. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to embarrass him!

At that moment, Zheng Guo stood up immediately and looked at Ying Jun angrily: "Sir, I left my hometown in South Korea and came to Qin State just to see that the people of the world can solve the problem of not having enough food to eat. But why do you think so now? Are you in trouble?"

"Difficult?"

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, their faces full of confusion.

Jia Xu frowned and looked at Zheng Guo in surprise: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Why has my lord ever made things difficult for you?"

Even Zheng Guo's family members were confused. They had just entered the Qin State, and they didn't deserve any credit. Instead, the captain of the state paid for their accommodation at his own expense.

Why is it so difficult to say?
Zheng Guo took a deep breath, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I believe that I am good at water conservancy, and I also know something about ditches and farmland. I have even solved the problem of food shortage for the people of South Korea."

"But even so, I can't achieve the annual output of 300 million shi of grain like the adults said. Not only me, but even if we look at other countries, no country can achieve the annual output of 300 million shi of grain. If someone can do it, , there won’t be many refugees in various countries.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the age of great strife, countries frequently invaded and wars continued year after year.

Although soldiers can gain merit by killing enemies on the battlefield, it is the people of all countries who suffer.Especially in recent months, wars have become more frequent. Several wars have occurred between various countries and the Qin State. The strength of each country has been severely damaged to varying degrees, and the frequency of taxation and military conscription has increased much more than before.

This also made the people's already miserable life even worse, and even forced people from all over the world to flee to Qin to live.

But what impact does this have with Yingjun's annual output of 300 million shi of grain?

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zheng Guo with a puzzled look: "Sir, have you misunderstood?"

"My lord recruited you to join the Qin State just to let you build a canal for the Qin State to solve the problem of Qin State's inconvenient water source. You did not say that you would let you increase the Qin State's grain harvest!"

"Moreover, after several months of cultivation, most of these crops have already grown fruits. Experts even estimated that the harvest will reach 300 million dan by the time of harvest."

"I wonder where the embarrassment mentioned by Mr. comes from?"

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zheng Guo suddenly looked surprised, his eyes full of disbelief.

As early as in Korea, he heard that the people of Qin State had excellent farming and warfare skills.

From the time the seeds are put into the soil until the germs grow, how many seedlings have died, and even until how many fruits are produced, all these are calculated by special personnel until the annual output is estimated.

If there is a good harvest and the amount of grain delivered is more than expected, a reward will be given. However, if the estimated amount is not delivered, the shortfall will be made up in the coming year.

However, no matter how much land Qin has, it is impossible to produce 300 million shi of grain in one year. If there is no war, these 300 million shi of grain will be enough to supply Qin for three to four years. Even if there is war, it will be enough for at least one year.

I had heard before that Qin was facing a food shortage crisis, but I didn't expect that it had reached the point where all the land was being planted with food.

Just the manpower and energy required to grow these crops is huge.

It seems that the canals and gullies that need to be built this time are many times more than those he built in South Korea!
Zheng Guo's face was a little solemn, he looked at Ying Jun and asked: "May I ask how many people will be allocated to build the water conservancy project this time?"

Yingjun touched his chin, then looked at Jia Xu, and asked calmly: "Jia Xu, how many manpower do you think is appropriate for him?"

He has always been responsible for growing food, so it would be best to ask him.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Three million acres of land and 300 people are enough!"

"what!"

Zheng Guo looked at the two people with a look of astonishment in his eyes: "Sir, is it possible that only 300 million acres of land were used to grow 300 million stones of grain?"

Yingjun nodded in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

Zheng Guo looked at the two people with an expression of disbelief. He had never heard of someone who could use 300 million acres of land to produce 300 million stones of grain, but as a captain of the Qin State, how could he joke with him.

It is simply impossible to grow 300 million stones of grain on 300 million acres of land. Unless the yield of the crop is particularly high, it will be difficult to achieve.

Thinking of this, Zheng Guo said half-convincedly, "I wonder what Mr. Sow is?"

Yingjun looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly: "Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops!"

When Zheng Guo heard this, he was completely confused. If these words had not come from Yingjun's mouth, if it had been someone else, he would have left here long ago.

He had never heard of these crops, not even in the Six Kingdoms.

He had heard of millet, millet, and bean sprouts, but he had never heard of what Ying Jun said.

Zheng Guo looked at Ying Jun with a confused expression, and asked with confusion: "Sir, what are these?"

"Potato……"

Just when Yingjun was about to speak, the housekeeper from the mansion hurried in, walked up to Yingjun and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, someone from the palace will be sent to let you enter the palace!"
