Da Qin: The seven-star lantern renews its life and makes the ancestral dragon immortal

Chapter 93 Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, and Corn are the gods that can change the empire! ! !

After assigning Jin Yiwei to Brother Zheng.

The two returned to the palace.

At the same time, Li Si, Wang Ben and other ministers were summoned.

In front of everyone.

Su Wangchuan took out three seeds as big as sesame seeds.

"Wangchuan, what is this?"

"Why are they similar to ordinary crop seeds?"

Faced with Ying Zheng's inquiry.

Su Wangchuan couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, this thing is indeed a seed."

"But these three seeds are potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn."

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn?"

Regardless of Ying Zheng.

It's still Li Si and other ministers below.

After hearing these three names, they all looked puzzled.

Because they have never heard of these three crops.

After all, people of their time now.

The staple food is "sugar"!

Millet is millet, and bean is soybean.

And those who can eat meat.

Basically, they are all wealthy and powerful people.

So regarding these three things Su Wangchuan just said.

They had never heard of any of them.

"Don't be impatient."

"Please allow me to introduce you slowly."

"This seed is called sweet potato."

"Once mature, they will grow into long, irregular-shaped strips with one end larger than the other. The outside is usually red-skinned. The larger ones are bigger than eggplants, while the smaller ones are as small as mice."

"Red on the outside and white on the inside, crisp and delicious, with a hint of sweetness."

“And there are so many ways to store sweet potatoes.”

"Not only can it be eaten raw, but you can also throw it into the fire and roast it. It is sweet and glutinous, and one can fill your stomach!"

"It can also be cut into strips and turned into sweet potato chips after being exposed to the sun. If stored properly, it will not go bad for a year or two."

"Your Majesty doesn't know something."

"Both the top and bottom of this sweet potato are basically treasures!"

"Sauteing sweet potato leaves over high heat can protect eyesight, improve immunity, and even delay aging!"

“And sweet potato stems are a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, with miraculous effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying!”

End of introduction.

Ying Zheng, Li Si and other ministers were already stunned.

Although they didn't remember what Su Wangchuan said, they understood one thing clearly.

You can eat this sweet potato all over your body!

"Wangchuan, when can I eat these sweet potatoes?"

Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, it is most suitable to plant these sweet potatoes in May and June every year."

"Generally, you can harvest it in mid-October."

Su Wangchuan explained.

"So long?"

Ying Zheng looked disappointed.

What I just heard from Su Wangchuan was so exciting.

He really wanted to taste it with his own mouth to see if it was as crispy, sweet and delicious as he said!

"Your Majesty, this time period is already very short for crops."

"Your Majesty and everyone may as well make a bold guess."

"How many kilograms of sweet potatoes can be produced per acre?"

The corners of Su Wangchuan's mouth raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

Ying Zheng suddenly fell into deep thought.

"The big ones are as big as eggplants, and the small ones are like little mice."

he murmured.

finally.

Ying Zheng gave his guess.

"The yield per mu is five to six hundred catties?"

Su Wangchuan shook his head.

"Guess again."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Is it possible that the yield per acre is a thousand catties?"

Wang Ben opened his mouth and expressed his conjecture.

"Still wrong."

Su Wangchuan continued to shake his head.

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

After all, if an acre can produce a thousand catties.

This can be considered a very good crop!

It may even become their staple food!

at this time.

Li Si stepped forward and expressed his bold thoughts.

"Your Majesty, can this sweet potato yield two thousand catties per acre?"

This statement came out.

Others felt that Li Si's guess was a little too bold.

If we can really produce two thousand catties per mu.

They will bring dry food with them when they march and fight in the future.

It must be this sweet potato!

When Su Wangchuan saw this, he immediately stopped talking.

He immediately said: "This sweet potato can produce 5000-7000 kilograms per mu!"

Swish!

The words fell.

The whole place fell silent instantly. It’s not just the ministers below.

Even Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stared at him with wide eyes!

"How much more?!!"

Wang Ben only felt that there was something wrong with his ears and he heard wrongly.

The yield per mu is 5000-7000 kilograms? !

I'm afraid I'm not joking with them!

"how?"

"Don't you believe it?"

Su Wangchuan saw everyone's expressions of disbelief and immediately asked.

"No no."

The ministers below all shook their heads.

I don't know if it's because he's afraid of his authority or something else.

Anyway, the expressions on their faces were very funny.

"Wangchuan, are you serious about this?"

At this time, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.

He could be regarded as asking a question that the ministers below did not dare to ask.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem in producing about 6,000 kilograms per mu of sweet potatoes planted in spring."

"It happens to be spring now."

"At that time, I will arrange for people to plant some seeds of these sweet potatoes."

“You’ll be able to eat it around October.”

Su Wangchuan responded.

His words.

It undoubtedly dispelled everyone's inner suspicion.

After all, this King of Qin had no reason to deceive them!

Because then he won't get any benefit at all!

It may even have disadvantages.

"The yield per mu is six thousand catties!"

"It's really a divine thing!"

Wang Ben couldn't help but sigh.

His whole life.

I have never seen crops that can produce so many crops per acre!

Moreover, what shocked him the most was.

This sweet potato can be eaten raw.

And there are various ways to do it!

This couldn't help but make all of them look forward to it.

I want to taste this sweet potato for myself.

"Wangchuan, what about the other two seeds?"

Ying Zheng asked, looking at the other two seeds in his hand.

then.

Su Wangchuan then introduced potatoes and corn to everyone.

After introducing these two things.

Everyone's expressions were exactly the same as before.

His face and pupils were full of shock!

They have never seen such a heaven-defying divine creature!

Now three things have appeared!

This simply refreshed their understanding!

Sow the seeds now.

Once these crops are mature.

What else does Qin have to fear?

all the time.

The empire is not short of brave soldiers who are not afraid of death.

But lack of food and grass!

Although the national strength has recovered a lot in recent years.

But now there is a lot of construction work.

Whether it is building canals or roads.

And the captives from the Six Nations who built the Great Wall.

Daily food and drink are inevitable!

And when Ying Zheng was handling government affairs in these places.

Basically, they are worried about food.

But with these sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.

It can turn the situation around!

Why worry about not having enough food and grass?

As long as it is fully promoted.

Only three years!

All the common people throughout Da Qin.

No more starvation!

By then.

The wolf tribe, Xiongnu tribe, Qiang tribe, and other frontier alien tribes.

What can he use to fight against Da Qin?

They will all fall to the sword of the Great Qin Cavalry!

These three items.

Don't look at them because they are small.

It can completely change the status quo of the entire empire!

Swish!

at this time.

Wang Ben stepped out of the queue and bowed to Su Wangchuan.

He is the leader of the generals.

Naturally, we understand what food means to soldiers on the battlefield!

"The King of Qin is here!"

"On behalf of the generals and soldiers of Great Qin, I would like to pay my respects to you first!"

Li Si saw this.

He also quickly stood up.

"On behalf of the people of Great Qin, I would like to pay my respects to you!"

The words fell.

The two of them bowed to Su Wangchuan at the same time.
