Da Qin: the Identity of My Eldest Son Has Been Discovered

He raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, as long as the sweet potatoes are popularized and let the common people grow them, Daqin will no longer suffer from food shortages!

Whether it is ground into powder and made into portable marching naan bread, cut into pieces and cooked in porridge, or directly grilled on the fire, it is all delicious. "

Wang Jian and the others showed approval on their faces.

The three ways of eating this thing can resolve the disadvantage of long-term consumption.

And during the march and battle, it would be nice to have a full stomach!

If you want to eat well, that's the treatment only senior generals have!

It is also a good choice to let the people set aside a piece of land to grow sweet potatoes and enrich the food on the table.

A courtier at the end of the hall rolled his eyes and said loudly: "The soldiers will be satisfied if they have enough food and grass to fill their stomachs when they are out on an expedition. It would be superfluous for the general to promote this product."

"That's right!"

"Makes sense!"

"It's true!"

Many courtiers nodded in agreement and agreed with this person's statement.

Not to mention that there will be no more food shortages in Daqin, if the harvest is not good, there will be a famine next year!

There were mocking sneers in many people's eyes.

That is to say, the black-faced vicious Qin has such a great reputation that no one dares to stand up.

If other people had made such a proposal, I am afraid that someone would have been impeached for harming Daqin!

After all, the population of Daqin is limited, and the fertile fields that have been reclaimed so far cannot be planted. How can there be time to plant something that has never been seen before.

If the harvest is not good, it will be a disaster for the people of the whole country!

At that time, Zhengguo Canal built the city and irrigated a lot of fertile land.

The state of Qin has reached a point where the land is vast and the population is scarce, and there is an urgent need for farmers.

Later, I had to publicize everywhere to snatch people from the Six Kingdoms!

It even designed to buy ironware on a large scale, so that the Koreans who are good at ironmaking will waste their land, and all of them will go to ironmaking and sell it to Qin.

As a result, there was no harvest in the coming year, and a large number of people flooded into Qin.

The state of Qin arranged these migrants properly, helped them build houses, gave them farm tools, and let them reclaim fertile land.

After years of savings, only then has the national power to dominate the world.

Now we have to give up the original planting and waste a part of the land to grow so-called sweet potatoes...  

Even Ying Zheng frowned, and quickly weighed in his mind.

As a father, he can pamper his son without limit to make up for the debts he owed over the years.

But as the emperor of Daqin, he had to think from the perspective of a manager.

At present, several major projects are in full swing, using a lot of labor.

Even for farming, manpower has become scarce.

If there is still a piece of land set aside to grow sweet potatoes, if there is no harvest, it will cause a national famine!

Famine is the most likely precursor to rebellion!

As the Great Qin Emperor, he had to consider the overall situation.

In the current Daqin, the most important thing is to seek stability.

As long as the people are not hungry, even if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are not dead, it will not be easy to motivate the people.

I'm afraid they were reported and wiped out by the people who wanted to live and work in peace and contentment before they had time to rebel!

Zhao Gao stood at the top, watching the courtiers shaking their heads below, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

In order to assist in presenting gifts for this birthday banquet, Zhao Gao personally accompanied him to the manor's fief a few days ago.

Those bunches of sweet potatoes were dug out from the ground, and transported to the warehouse one by one, which almost didn't surprise his jaw!

He smiled and said, "Why doesn't your majesty let the general finish?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Tell me what you think, and I will consider it myself."

"Here!"

Qin Xuan respectfully responded, and turned to look at the officials.

He asked with a smile, "I wonder if my lords know the production of sweet potatoes?"

The ministers were stunned, and recalled involuntarily in their minds.

Before Shang Yang's reform, Qin's landed grain was only more than [-] catties per mu.

Later, farming was encouraged, with a maximum of [-] catties of grain per mu.

According to Qin Law, two cows and a loom were also rewarded!

In the era of Lu Buwei, due to the introduction of chemical fertilizers, an average of [-] to [-] catties per mu of land.
