A few boxes were carried over. Zhao Ye smiled and opened the boxes.
"This is a potato. The yield per mu should be about 500 kilograms.”
Zhao Ye grabbed a potato from the box and said.
Actually, according to Zhao Ye's own impression, the yield of sweet potatoes in his previous life was 6,000 catties per mu, and the yield of potatoes was 4,000 catties per mu.
However, considering that there was no modern farming in this era, and there were no fertilizers, insect control drugs, and so on, Zhao Ye only said that the yield per mu was 500 kilograms.
Hearing Zhao Ye's words, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face grew wider.
"Hand it over!"
" Yes!" Zhao Ye responded and handed over the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands.
"Is it really 500 kilograms?"
Even though Zhao Ye had already answered him, Ying Zheng could not help but ask again.
A yield of 500 kilograms per mu was not food, it was a divine item!
"The potatoes and sweet potatoes I brought back are dozens of catties. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, why don't you plant them yourself? If it's not true, just take the heads of the people!”
Zhao Ye said with a smile.
To be honest, the Ancestral Dragon was quite kind and charming when he smiled.
Before meeting the Ancestral Dragon, Zhao Ye had also thought more than once about what the Ancestral Dragon would look like.
Perhaps it was unparalleled majesty? Perhaps he was unusually handsome?
However, in fact, the Ancestral Dragon in front of him was already white.
As the most successful person in the world so far, Ancestral Dragon naturally had a small belly that belonged to a successful person.
Zhao Ye sized up the Ancestral Dragon again and found that the Ancestral Dragon was carefully stroking the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands.
It was hard to imagine what could make Qin Shihuang, who had unified the six countries, lose his composure.
However, thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
How long had it taken for Great Qin to conquer the world?
It had been more than 200 years, almost the effort of eight generations!
Based on what? Was it because the Qin people were not afraid of death? Was Qin a country of tigers and wolves?
Because of wealth! It was because of wealth!
Putting aside supplies and talking about war is a hooligan act!
When Wang Jian attacked Chu, the 600,000 strong army spent a year eating, drinking, and playing at the border of Chu before finding the right opportunity to attack and take down Chu.
Was Zhao Kuo defeated in the Battle of Changping because he was a strategist?
Perhaps there was, but the root cause was that Zhao no longer had any food to support the confrontation with Qin.
There was no other way but to end the battle quickly!
What if the Qin army did not have enough grain?
600,000 troops, a logistics force that spanned hundreds of miles!
Wang Jian forcefully waited at the Chu Country's border for a year. In this one year's time, how much grain did he need to consume?
Without sufficient food, why did the Qin country play like this?
The Xiongnu had a plague, and the South Yue had a plague. Didn't the First Emperor know that he could wipe out the Xiongnu and South Yue once and for all?
Because the Xiongnu were too remote? Because there were many poisonous insects in South Yue?
After all, Great Qin's treasury could not support a war that would destroy a country, and the long supply chain was enough to drag down Great Qin's economy.
But what if there was enough food?
Destroying South Yue, pacifying the Xiongnu, advancing north into the grasslands, and south into the forest, it was no longer nonsense!
Obviously, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, knew this better than anyone else, which was why he placed so much importance on it.
The significance of a thousand catties per mu was too great.
This was not only to ensure that Great Qin's people had sufficient food and could live and work in peace and prosperity.
It could also expand the territory of Great Qin and never stop!
Looking at the sweet potatoes in his hands, Ying Zheng's mood, which had gradually calmed down because of the unification of the six dynasties, suddenly became restless again.
Back then, he said that the bright moon of Great Qin would shine brightly on the windowsill of every household in the Central Plains!
What about outside the Central Plains?
At this moment of unifying the six states, the hearts of the people were filled with anger.
It was not that Ying Zheng had never heard of the saying of the Great Nine Regions, which was popular among the people.
Zou Yan, a famous scholar in the Warring States Period, once said that the nine states of the world were just a coincidence of the universe.
In other words, the Central Plains was only one continent in the world. There were nine continents in the world.
Because after the Qin Country unified the world, although the war had subsided, the people of Qin were all filled with passion and desire to continue expanding their territory and establish a supreme empire.
The Great Nine Continents was once again mentioned and it was popular in Qin. The officials in the court also had many suggestions.
Qin Shihuang himself understood that he also wanted to continue expanding his territory. He also wanted to see what the other eight continents were like.
Perhaps there were immortals in the other continents?
However, Great Qin simply did not have enough rations, and they could not continue fighting!
If the Great Qin Empire had enough food and grass, it would not be the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who sent Xu Fu out to the sea to search for immortals and immortal medicine. Instead, it would be the Great Qin Empire who sent millions of soldiers to search the entire world for immortal medicine!
However, the grain production was only 200 catties per mu. With the production rate there, Qin Shihuang could only think about it.
But now, with two thousand catties of grain in his hands, that distant dream seemed to be close at hand.
"If there are immortals in the world, I will bring millions of troops and have them greet me in front of the palace!”
Ying Zheng's face twitched slightly, and his eyes slowly turned sharp again!
