"With this auspicious sign, our Great Qin will never have to worry about hunger again!”
After a long while, Ying Zheng finally came back to his senses and said.
Just a few decades ago, Great Qin had been extremely poor and on the verge of destruction.
Fortunately, with the reform of Lord Shang, Great Qin was pulled back from the edge of life and death. After several generations, it was finally under Ying Zheng's hands that Great Qin swept across the Six Directions and unified the Seven Kingdoms.
However, after the seven kingdoms were united, the state treasury's financial situation did not improve. Instead, it became more and more difficult as the land and housing continued to be built.
The six countries 'remaining forces were secretly causing chaos, causing Great Qin to be in a constant state of turmoil.
With Ying Zheng around, it was enough to suppress the world. If Ying Zheng passed away, they would not know what to do.
Fortunately, Fu Su's sudden rise changed everything.
He destroyed the Xiongnu, killed Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, then captured the Yue King alive and forced Donghu to become the Great Qin Dynasty's eagle dog.
Great Qin's external threats were swept away, and it even had the ability to continue expanding its territory to the west.
The remaining members of the Six Nations had also gradually lost their land of survival following Fusu's reforms, the rise of commerce, and the spread of education.
But now, the appearance of potatoes that could produce tens of stones per mu, which could be called divine items, had directly destroyed the last hope of the remnants of the six dynasties.
The commoners could easily fill their stomachs, and the extra labor force at home could go to the workshops or participate in the imperial court projects to earn money during the slack season. Who would be fooled by the remnants of the Six Nations to rebel?
It was likely that before the Six Nations 'rebel flag was raised, the commoners would report these lawless people who wanted to harm Great Qin's stability to the government.
"It's a pity that the planting area is still too small!”
Wang Jian looked at the potato in his hand, and faint traces of water surfaced in his eyes.
As an old official of the four dynasties, Wang Jian had experienced the most difficult days of Great Qin.
He knew how difficult it was to fill his stomach.
"Old Grand Commandant, there is no need to worry. The 200,000 stone potatoes harvested this time can be used as seeds. Next time, we can grow thousands of acres!”
"Moreover, potatoes can be planted twice a year. By next year's season, they can be planted in all of Hanzhong County and even Great Qin!”
Fu Su explained with a smile.
"I just don't know what the taste of this divine item is like.”
Meng Yi asked.
He was also a military general who had turned into a civilian official. Back when he led the army, he ate so much that he vomited.
It had to be said that this thing could be used as armor by Great Qin's soldiers.
If the distance was slightly further, even the simple arrows of the Prairies people would not be able to penetrate it!
"Try it and you'll know.”
Fu Su smiled and asked someone to bring a few roasted potatoes over.
Ying Zheng impatiently grabbed a potato and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring that it was too hot.
"It doesn't seem to be very delicious."
Ying Zheng said with a frown.
"Imperial Father, you're a little anxious. This potato isn't eaten this way.”
Fu Su shrugged.
He didn't even peel off the skin and directly ate it. How delicious could it be?
Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly as he watched Fu Su peel off the skin, then took another bite.
"Not bad. It's soft in the mouth and has a special fragrance.”
"If you chew carefully, you can actually taste a hint of sweetness.”
"The taste is very good. It's much better than corn!”
Ying Zheng said in surprise.
Wang Jian and the others hurriedly snatched the remaining potatoes and tasted them bite by bite.
Immediately, they all expressed that this was the most delicious staple food they had ever eaten.
Fu Su smiled faintly. A potato had already surprised them to this extent.
When the sweet potatoes came out, who knew how many eyeballs would fall out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. From now on, the people of Great Qin will no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs!”
"I don't have to worry about losing my wife and children in famine years anymore!”
"There's no need to worry about not having any relief food in the national treasury.”
Nesten said with tears in his eyes.
As the internal history of grain management, he had been facing famine in various places for the past few years. There was no surplus in the national treasury, and he could only watch the famine everywhere. His heart was really tormented.
Now that he could finally be free, he really could not control his emotions.
The surrounding commoners also heard the news.
Looking at the auspicious crops that had piled up into a small mountain, they could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts.
"Long live Great Qin!"
"Long live His Highness Fu Su!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The commoners spontaneously shouted long live and knelt down.
After enduring so many years of hardship, they had finally made a name for themselves!
As long as they waited for another year, when this auspicious sign spread throughout Great Qin, they would no longer have to worry about starving and would be able to eat as much as they wanted!
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
The tiller had his own land, and Ying Zheng had done his best to achieve it.
But even so, due to the backward farming methods, the proportion of fertile land was low, and the yield per mu could not increase at all.
Although the commoners were much better off than during the war, they still had to starve during the natural disasters.
Ying Zheng saw this and was anxious, but he had been helpless.
Now, he could finally let go of this burden.
Adding on the increasing trade tax, Great Qin's treasury had to be expanded; otherwise, it would not be able to store the massive amount of money and grain.
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with anticipation.
It was as if in his lifetime, he would be able to see Great Qin conquer the entire world and make the entire world a reality.
Ying Zheng's heart immediately surged.
Glancing at Fu Su, Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with confidence.
With such an outstanding successor, did Great Qin need to worry about anything else?
Just do it.
Fu Su was also very satisfied.
With the spread of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Great Qin's residents would be able to eat their fill.
After completing this foundation, coupled with his own promotion, industry and commerce flourished.
It would not be long before Great Qin's production rate would surpass that of the other regions.
Great Qin would become a true Kingdom of Heaven, and all of Great Qin's citizens would be proud to be part of Qin.
As for the remnants of the Six Nations…
A cold smile appeared on Fusu Yajiao's face.
Ying Zheng had already ordered all the prefectures and counties in the country to investigate the traces of these people. Once they were found, they would not be spared.
Since they were willing to be loyal to Great Qin, they would be treated as people of Great Qin.
If they were unwilling, they would really think that Fu Su's sword would not be aimed at them.
Since they didn't treat him as a Qin citizen, he was an enemy!
And the enemy, the trembling Yue King behind them, was their future!
