System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

This acre of land is all planted with zhe!
This is also called sugar cane. Many fish never expected that sugar cane could actually appear in Shangdang land, but it did not grow well, was sparse, and was very short. Unlike later generations, a sugar cane was two meters high.

Xu Xing scratched his head in embarrassment: "The villagers accidentally discovered this sugar cane by the lake. I asked them to dig it all out and plant it on the edge of the field."

Xu Xing casually broke off a sugar cane and handed it to many fish: "Xu is not accustomed to the climate and the soil. These sugar canes are not as sweet as the lady said."

Many fish use their teeth to tear open the sugar cane skin and bite it in one bite. Well, the taste is indeed not good.It's not as sweet as the later ones, but you can taste the sweetness more or less.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu. When I return to Bashu, I will take some of it with me. Sugarcane likes the heat. Maybe when I get to Bashu, it will have more sweetness." Many fish spit out the sugarcane bagasse.

Seeing that many fish were satisfied, Xu Xing felt a little relieved from his guilt: "This is the second year of growing sugar cane. Last year I ordered people to cut the sugar cane before it snowed, and then stored it in a newly dug cellar until the beginning of this spring. "

After saying that, Xu Xing wanted to go back and get the bamboo slips for recording.

"Tsk," Feng Fu said with a look of reluctance, "If we hadn't been retaliated against, how would we have planted more than this acre of sugar cane this year?"

"Feng Fu!" Xu Xing was really angry this time.

Many fish looked at Xu Xing with disapproval, and then encouraged Feng Fu: "Tell me the specific situation."

After receiving many fish's consent, Feng Fu immediately poured out everything at once.

"Tian Zuoli of Shangdang insisted on planting potatoes for many years. The master told him that doing so would damage the soil fertility and was unacceptable. In the end, the matter came to a head, and both Tian Shifu and the county supported the master. Tian Zuoli held a grudge because of this. In my heart, I am always against the master!"

Xu Xing stopped Feng Fu and decided to explain to the queen himself: "Tianzuo officials have no selfish motives. They are just worried that the Shangdang has been in war for a long time, the fields are deserted, and the people are starving, so they want to grow more potatoes." That’s all.”

"What's the matter with the sugar cane?" Many fish were not fooled by Xu Xing, so they took advantage of this and asked.

Xu Xing sat on the ridge of the field and sighed deeply: "When the Tianzu officials saw that I treasured these zhes, they ordered people to dig up all the remaining wild zhes."

"Deliberately causing harm?"

Xu Xing shook his head amusingly: "No. In his mind, I am a great talent in farming, and he thought these zhes had special purposes. But he didn't expect that the zhes he planted not only had low yields and were not satiating, but also tasted astringent. .”

After saying that, Xu Xing turned his head and asked humbly: "May I ask what you want these zhes for?"

Many fish responded frankly: "Sugarmaking!"

All heads turned, sugar?

Sweet, the rarest candy?

Baya took a big bite of the sugar cane left by many fish while no one was paying attention.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Baya spit out the residue in his mouth, "How can you make sugar from this? It's far worse than honey."

Many fish caressed their foreheads, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, why are you so impatient? The sugar cane in Shangdang is not sweet, but the sugar cane in Bashu will be very sweet. When oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines, and when oranges grow in Huaibei, they become tangerines."

Xu Xing smiled and clapped his hands, praising: "What the lady said is true!"

Time is like fine sand, flowing through the fingers inadvertently.

It was nightfall in a blink of an eye. Many fish and other people were originally going to live in Chuanshe, and a large army was stationed in the open space outside the county town.

But Xu Xing strongly invited Nujun to stay at his home. The next day, he accompanied Nujun to the official temple to submit the certificate. Nujun wanted to replenish supplies in Shangdang, so she had to deal with these local officials more or less.

Early the next morning, Xu Xing took many fish and others to the county lieutenant's office in Guansi District.Although it was just after sunrise, the place already looked busy.After all, the Qin State is still in a state of war, and Shangdang is a battleground. The treason and military sentiments in each township are collected here, so it will not be deserted all year round.

However, the people of Qin believed that no one could attack Shangdang's territory again, so Shangdang's guards were empty and no multi-layered defense lines were deployed.

Of course, traders and refugees all think so. There are many more traders in Shangdang, and it is becoming more and more noisy.

"After this year, Shangdang will be even more lively." Xu Xing came to Shangdang at his own request, because the brutality of the Changping Battle caused a great psychological shock to him.

He always thought about doing something for the Shangdang on his own.

A house for queuing was built outside the government office, called "Shu", which was a place for officials from other places to rest and change clothes.

When many fish and others arrived, there were already several people queuing up. A seemingly upright man was just called in. Behind him, there was a pavilion chief who was packing his clothes and arranging his appearance, preparing to meet the superior.

Li Zheng looked back inadvertently and was shocked!

This noble man...

During this interval, Tian Zuoli, who came to report on his work, happened to see Xu Xing and others.

"Hmph, are you inviting foreign aid?" Tian Zuoli raised his head and looked sideways at Xu Xing.

Tian Zuoli knew that Xu Xing had someone in Xianyang, and even knew that Xu Xing and Gong Zizheng had an irreconcilable relationship, a life-or-death friendship.

But so what?My allegiance is to the King of Qin, and I act in accordance with the laws of Qin. As long as I don't break the law, who can do anything to me?

Xu Xing greeted Tian Zuoli humbly: "This general has just returned from the front line. Now he needs to replenish some supplies in Shangdang and then go to set up defenses."

Tian Zuoli softened his expression and admired the soldiers who fought for the Qin Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work. If you need anything the county government can do, we will do our best to cooperate."

Many fish looked at Tian Zuoli in surprise, seeing that his eyes were sincere and he actually spoke the truth.

Tian Zuoli had a straightforward temper and immediately understood the surprise of many fishes. He snorted and said disdainfully: "Xu Xing must have said a lot of bad things about me to you. As long as you are loyal to the Qin Dynasty and loyal to the king, I will help you." "

Many fish were relieved and apologized quickly: "I am shameless and judge the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. Please don't take it to heart, Tian Zuoli."

After that, many fishes bowed.

Tian Zuoli stroked his beard with satisfaction: "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

"Amei, what is the potato yield per acre? Is the corn yield here as high as our regenerated rice?" Baya had already walked around in a circle and had a friendly exchange with the Qin officials.

Seeing that the officials of Qin Dynasty attached great importance to farming, Baya couldn't help but think of the fields far away in Bashu.

Regeneration rice?
Tian Zuoli's eyes flashed, his attitude became more attentive, and he took the initiative to ask: "Have you prepared all the materials for your Excellency? I am related by marriage to a big family in the county, and they have a lot of food in their warehouses. Do you need me to go there?" To set up a bridge?"

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

But there is never too much food and grass, and many fish stuffed a straight ball: "May I ask Tian Zuoli what he needs?" (End of Chapter)
