Daqin: More sons and more blessings, building a long-lived family

They dug out a bunch of potato rhizomes, which are full of potatoes.

Some farmers have also begun to dig sweet potato fields.

The sweet potato vines are connected one by one, with luxuriant leaves.

They went down with a hoe and dug out the sweet potatoes inside.

Lavender sweet potatoes appeared in front of their eyes.

The small ones are as big as a baby's fist, and the big ones even weigh a few kilograms.

"Wow!"

"Look at it!!"

"Sweet potatoes inside!!"

Farmers screamed one after another.

There are seven or eight sweet potatoes connected to one sweet potato vine, or even more than ten sweet potatoes.

And sweet potatoes are huge in size.

They were digging hard.

Sunset West Mountain.

The farmers looked at the harvest that was full of fields, and their faces were beaming with joy.

The yield of these potatoes and sweet potatoes is really high as Ye Xuan said.

It is countless times better than ordinary food!

In this way, they will not have to worry about taxes for the next year, and they can even live a prosperous year!

At this time, they sincerely thanked Ye Xuan.

If Ye Xuan hadn't forced them to grow these two crops, I'm afraid none of them would have taken the risk to grow these two crops.

Naturally, it is impossible to obtain so much food.

Next, as long as they continue to plant, good times will come.

The farmers were delighted.

......

Xianyang Palace, the main hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, a great harvest!"

"At present, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Xianyang have matured and been harvested. According to statistics, there are 1000 million shi of potatoes and 2000 million shi of sweet potatoes."

Sinong reported in a trembling voice with excitement.

According to the conversion of the Qin Dynasty, one stone is about 31 kilograms.

In other words, there are more than 5000 million kilograms of potatoes, and more than 1000 million kilograms of sweet potatoes.

The total is more than 6000 million kilograms, or more than 2000 million kilograms.

The civil and military officials took a deep breath.

Qin Shihuang also showed shock on his face.

The population of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty was around 60.

It is mentioned in the book "A Preliminary Study on Grain and Yield per Mu in Past Dynasties" that the per capita ration in the pre-Qin and Warring States periods was [-] to [-] catties.

In other words, the per capita ration is 720 catties a year.

Xianyang has more than 60 people.

In other words, Xianyang needs more than 3000 million catties of rations a year.

Now the potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested in one season are completely enough for the rations of the people in Xianyang, and there are even a lot left! !

Qin Shihuang was extremely happy.

These two crops are indeed fetishes!

God gave them Daqin!

"Ye Aiqing has made great contributions to promoting the cultivation of this grain in Xianyang!"

"I have decided to grant you a title, doctor!".

Chapter 94 History has changed again!Yi Xiaochuan was confused again!

There are [-] grades of military merit titles, from the lowest to the highest, there are Gongshi, Shangzao, Zanyi, Sibugeng, Doctor and so on.

Doctor is the fifth rank of title.

The title of the Qin Dynasty is a reward system for military merit.

Although Ye Xuan didn't make any military achievements, he was able to become a knight.

This is because his credit is too great.

That's why Qin Shihuang made an exception and was knighted.

Although the title of doctor is far inferior to the titles of Liehou, Chehou, and Guanneihou.

But this is ~ Qin Shihuang made an exception and awarded the reward.

Significance.

All the civil and military officials in the court were incomparable - looked at Ye Xuan enviously.

Qin Shihuang actually made an exception for Ye Xuan and made him a doctor.

Simply incredible.

They are not jealous.

Because they knew that this was what Ye Xuan deserved.

Ye Xuan promotes sweet potatoes and potatoes. In Xianyang alone, there are hundreds of millions of catties of grain output in one season, which completely solves Xianyang's food and clothing.

These two kinds of grains are still being promoted to other counties in Daqin.

When these two kinds of food are popularized in Daqin, the people of Daqin will have enough food and clothing without having to suffer from hunger.

This is a great merit!

They are also envious and jealous.

For this reason, they were convinced that Ye Xuan could be accepted by Doctor Feng.

Li Si looked at Ye Xuan who was sealed off, his sleeve clenched into a fist.

Very unhappy.

If he had prevented Ye Xuan from promoting the two crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the court, Ye Xuan would not have been knighted.

Reluctantly Fusu supported Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was able to concurrently serve as Taicang Cheng to promote these two crops.

Now these two kinds of crops are still harvested abundantly, and they have been rewarded by Emperor Shihuang.

All this, he can only watch, but can do nothing.

This made him very frustrated.

...

The great harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes in Xianyang, Ye Xuan asked novelist Sun Heng and others to publicize it in newspapers.

Soon, the entire Daqin people knew about it.

"Have you heard that Xianyang has a great harvest, with tens of millions of stones of food!"

"I've heard of the two crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes before, but I thought the high output they advertised was fake, but I didn't expect it to be true. The output is too scary."

"If these two crops are popularized, the people of Daqin will no longer have to suffer from hunger."

There was a lot of discussion.

Originally, farmers in other counties and counties were somewhat resistant to changing crops, but when they heard that Xianyang had a bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes, with an output of tens of millions of stones, they were immediately moved.

With such a high output, there is no need to worry about taxation and food for the next year!

Farmers have switched to these two crops!

For a time, the popularity of potatoes and sweet potatoes became much easier.

Farmers are no longer resistant.

Even without official reminders, two crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes, were actively sown.

The situation is very good.

Farmers in various counties and counties in Daqin began to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Farmers in Pei County also planted two kinds of crops.

In a cave in a deep mountain and old forest somewhere in Pei County.

Yi Xiaochuan put on a bamboo hat, put fake scars on his face, and changed into a cleaner coarse sackcloth.

After pretending that there was no flaw, he said to Liu Bang:

"Brother, the food is almost finished, I'll go to the county town."

Liu Bang was wearing some dirty gray sackcloth, and his hair was messy and dirty.

He sat against the wall of the cave and waved to Yi Xiaochuan, without speaking.

Because recently, he found that his voice became much sharper.

It's like a duck voice.

He immediately understood that this was the sequelae of being cut.
