Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty

"Your Majesty, you are finally back."

Seeing this, Dian Wei quickly came up to greet him.

"Where is Huang Zhong arranged now?"

"I found a clean house for that guy. He is sleeping soundly inside now. I guess if I go and cut him now, he won't even wake up."

Looking at Dian Wei's bad look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, he must have done something bad to Huang Zhong.

Yingxi didn't bother to ask, believing that Dian Wei, a rough guy, wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

Now that Huang Zhong has arrived in the Jin Kingdom and is in the palm of his hand, he can never turn it out again.

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and the Jin Kingdom has not broken out any war this year and has been in a state of steady development.

Thanks to a series of policies of the Qin State, every household in the Jin State has "483" land of their own. In the past, tens of thousands of wastelands had long been occupied by the people for cultivation.

I just regretted that the territory of Jin State was too small and did not give them the opportunity to continue cultivating wasteland.

What is most concerning is that as early as spring, the field soldiers led by Xu Huang obtained a hundred stones of sweet potato seeds from the system and planted them.

Xu Huang and others had never heard of the sweet potato plant, and for several months, although it looked green, no one could tell what the magic of this thing was.

However, during the autumn harvest season, Xu Huang and his group of field soldiers realized the horror of sweet potatoes.

Jin Dynasty court hall.

After Xu Huang dug up the sweet potatoes, he immediately sent an envoy to congratulate Ying Xi and all the civil and military officials of Jin.

The entire court was in a state of excitement because of Xu Huang's report.

"Nonsense, just nonsense!"

Tian Feng, who has always been upright, hates those who cheat the most. When faced with the report from Xu Huang's messenger, he yelled: "The yield per acre is actually 10,000 jins. I, Tian Feng, have never heard of such a bizarre thing. What are you doing for this?" Asking for merits and rewards, you actually dare to falsely report your achievements in front of your Majesty and all the officials like me. It is simply abominable.

(PS: The weight in ancient times was different from today. One pound is about 200g today, and ten thousand pounds is equivalent to about two thousand five hundred pounds now. Now that sweet potatoes are grown well, three or four thousand pounds is normal. There is no exaggeration here. the meaning of.)

"General Xu Huang has always been honest, and he has never been overly interested in meritorious deeds. He should not do such a thing. Perhaps the people below are motivated by meritorious deeds."

Wang Meng believed in Xu Huang's character, but he was still skeptical about the sweet potatoes with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu.

The messenger saw that none of the civil and military ministers were willing to believe him. He broke into a cold sweat and wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ying Xi knew that the sweet potato story was most likely true.

The sweet potatoes rewarded by the system are not ancient sweet potatoes, but improved sweet potatoes from later generations.

If it were not for the many limitations of land fertility and farming in this era, having a higher yield per mu would not be a problem.

Seeing that the messenger was speechless when asked, Yingxi said directly: "Okay, you don't need to be too suspicious. King Gu believes that the yield of ten thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu is a fact and not an exaggeration."

When the ministers heard this, they looked in disbelief.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and argued: "Your Majesty may not be proficient in farming. The yield per mu of the best millet in Jin is only about 800%."

"In the entire Han Dynasty, the south has the highest corn yield, which is only about 1,200 kilograms per mu."

"The unknown sweet potato planted by General Xu Huang can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu, which is simply appalling."

Xun You, the new arrival, echoed: "The yield of crops is closely related to soil, season, rain, light and other factors."

"According to what the king said, the sweet potato is an artifact of food. If the yield per mu is two to three thousand catties, the humble ministers can barely accept it. If the yield per mu is ten thousand catties, the ministers and others have little knowledge and will find it difficult to accept it for a while. "

Looking at this group of civil and military officials who didn't want to believe it, Ying Xi, who was always confident, let out a burst of laughter:

"King Gu knows that this news is indeed unbelievable to you, and you are even unwilling to accept it."

"But King Gu can tell you responsibly in front of you all that this news is true.

"And compared to our traditional foods that need to be cooked, sweet potatoes don't require such trouble. You can just wash them clean and use them..."

"And sweet potatoes can be dried and stored. As military rations for marches and wars, they can be used anytime and anywhere.

"It also has a function. Sweet potatoes have a satiety effect. If you eat a little, you can fill your stomach."

Ying Xi eloquently explained the functions of sweet potatoes.

Everyone listened with only half-understanding, saying that hearing is false, seeing is true, and those who have not seen it all have doubts.

Ying Xi knew very well that if he wanted to let everyone know about sweet potatoes and the wonderful uses of sweet potatoes, just relying on his own words to describe them would have a limited effect.

"Since you all have doubts, let's speak with facts."

"Send it to the lonely king."

Ying Xi clapped his hands, and then a dozen or so beautiful palace maids dragged the wooden tray and slowly entered it.

What was served on the wooden plate was none other than a feast made of sweet potatoes.

There are peeled fresh sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato slices, sweet potato rice and dried sweet potatoes.

"This is a sweet potato feast, you can enjoy it as you wish."

After saying that, in order to demonstrate to everyone, Yingyi took a roasted sweet potato, peeled off the surface, and turned on the feasting mode.

I haven’t eaten it in several years, but it still has the same nostalgic taste.

Yao Guangxiao saw that 4.4 Yingxi was eating well, so he followed Yingxi, picked up a roasted sweet potato, imitated others, and put it in his mouth.

Wei Zheng, Wang Meng, Zhao Yun and others each selected sweet potatoes and began to taste them.

"It smells so good. It's fragrant and soft in the mouth. It's really good."

"This dried sweet potato is so chewy and sweet. I, Old Cheng, have never tasted such good food in my life.

"This stuff is so good when eaten raw. I, Yuchi Laohei, want to eat ten of them in one meal today."

All the civil and military officials ate with gusto, enjoying the sweet potato feast.

Yao Guangxiao and others are not foodies, but when they encountered such a delicious sweet potato feast, they all fell into it and were completely overwhelmed by the sweet potato feast.

When Yao Guangxiao was tasting sweet potatoes, his eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of using sweet potatoes to make a big fuss. .
