Facing Ying Zheng's expectant gaze, Qin Yun put his right hand into his sleeve and chanted silently.
"System, open the store and exchange for a potato and a sweet potato!”
Ding! Two recognition points have been deducted. Please retrieve the item yourself.
"Immediately extract!"
Following that, Qin Yun felt his palm sink.
Qin Yun took out sweet potatoes and potatoes from his sleeves and handed them to Ying Zheng.
"This item is called a potato. It can produce fifteen stones per mu.”
Looking at the yellow root in Qin Yun's hand, Ying Zheng's heart trembled as he carefully received the potato.
"This thing can produce fifteen dan per mu?”
Qin Yun nodded with a chuckle." That's right."
"Moreover, this thing doesn't pick the land. It can grow potatoes on sandy land that can't grow corn or halfway up the mountain.”
Instinctively, Ying Zheng wanted to hold the potato tightly, but he was afraid that he would break it. He could only hold the potato carefully with both hands, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
No wonder Ying Zheng valued potatoes so much.
It had to be said that Great Qin's main source of grain was only about two stones per mu.
If Great Qin could plant potatoes in all of its corn fields, Great Qin's food production would increase by at least seven times!
More importantly, this item did not even need to be used on land, and Great Qin's food production would increase by more than ten times!
Qin Yun chuckled when he saw this." Brother Zheng, there's no need to be so agitated.”
Ying Zheng shook his head abruptly." Gentleman Qin, you are an immortal. You don't understand."”
"This item is simply too important to Great Qin!”
"In recent years, there have been many major disasters in China, and the people of Great Qin often do not have enough to eat and even starve to death!”
"I've seen all of this with my own eyes!”
Although Ying Zheng was born in the royal family, he had lived a hard life.
In the early years when he was in Handan City, Ying Zheng had seen many people starving to death on the road.
Every morning, the city guards would drag the starved corpses out of the city and throw them into the mass graves.
It was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng had changed the law several times, constantly reducing the burden on the people, hoping that they could at least eat their fill and wear warm clothes.
Ying Zheng looked at the potato in his hand with anticipation and said,""However, with this item, the lives of the people of Great Qin will definitely be much better!”
Qin Yun smiled as he handed over the sweet potato.
"Brother Zheng, what I mean is that you're getting excited too early.”
"This thing is called sweet potato. Although it can't be used as a main grain, it can produce more than twenty stones per mu.”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
He eagerly snatched the sweet potato from Qin Yun's hands. Ying Zheng looked at the sweet potato, then at the sweet potato. He looked excited but also a little nervous.
"Is there really such a divine item in the world?”
Ying Zheng was afraid that all of this was just a dream, and that after he woke up, everything would turn into bubbles.
Qin Yun said firmly," Brother Zheng, why are you so nervous?”
"This Qin has also planted some potatoes and sweet potatoes in my residence. Brother Zheng, you can come to this Qin residence to take a look after you return to Xianyang.”
Ying Zheng suddenly looked up at Qin Yun." Imperial Preceptor, when can we harvest this?"”
Qin Yun calculated the days and said," The potatoes planted in my manor are estimated to be harvested in about three days.”
"It's estimated to take another eight days for the sweet potatoes.”
Ying Zheng immediately gave the order," Minister, pass down the order. Tonight, we will hold a banquet to congratulate the Imperial Advisor."”
"Tomorrow, we will prepare dinner at dawn and set off at dawn. The convoy will return to Xianyang City immediately!”
"Your Majesty, aren't you going east to Langya?" Wang Wan was startled.”
The most important purpose of this eastern expedition was to go to Langya County and suppress the remnants of the six dynasties in the former Qi State.
Now that they were already near Langya, shouldn't they make a trip there?
" The momentum of the Pilgrimage Ceremony will definitely be spread to the world through the mouths of those who watch the ceremony," Ying Zheng said." And then, those who do not submit will be intimidated."”
"I must return to Xianyang City as soon as possible!”
It was not that Ying Zheng did not trust Qin Yun, but the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Qin Yun had taken out were too contrary to Ying Zheng's understanding.
In Ying Zheng's heart, the existence of potatoes and sweet potatoes was countless times more unbelievable than the appearance of immortals!
Wang Wan saw this and immediately cupped his hands.”
Carefully stuffing the sweet potatoes and potatoes into his bosom, Ying Zheng smiled and waved his right hand,""It's already late."
"Imperial Preceptor, please come down the mountain with me.”
Qin Yun chuckled and cupped his hands." That's what I wish for. I don't dare to ask!”
Although Ying Zheng had a lot to say, he knew that he should not rush things.
After chatting for a while, Qin Yun saw Wang Ben's twisted expression the moment he alighted from the carriage.
"Marquis Tong Wu, is there anything?"
" I…" Wang Ben bowed and cupped his hands." I mean…"
Upon hearing Wang Ben change the way he addressed him, Qin Yun smiled and waved his hand.""Marquis Tong Wu can address me as Gentleman Qin as usual.”
Qin Yun chuckled." Of course, if Marquis Tongwu wishes to address me as son-in-law, I will do so as well.”
Yan Zhengchu and the other civil and military officials who came to watch the show were all stunned, and they glared at Wang Ben with fire in their eyes.
They also wanted a son-in-law like this!
And Qin Yun's joke made the civil and military officials secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Although Qin Yun was an immortal, he was not a lofty and aloof immortal.
Inadvertently, the distance between the two sides was shortened.
"Master Qin, can we deal with those ghost flames first?" Wang Ben's face darkened.”
Qin Yun pondered for a moment before saying," There's no rush regarding the ghost flames. Marquis Tongwu can place them on the carriage. I will ferret them one by one on the way back.”
"Understood!" Wang Ben cupped his hands and said.
After they finished chatting, Yang Duan He came over with a smile.
"Teacher Qin, Marquis Tongwu, that little bastard doesn't know what's good for him.”
"I have a great-granddaughter who is extremely beautiful and is only fourteen years old. She is petite and lovely and is a good match for Qin Junzi.”
"Unlike Wang Xian, who is already seven feet and three inches tall and loves to play with spears and sticks. How can she be worthy of Qin Junzi?”
"When did I become so angry?" Wang Ben asked angrily.”
"The teacher of the Qin country has already privately agreed to marry my daughter. Old Yang, don't try to drive a wedge between us!”
Although he was reluctant, Wang Ben knew very well that Qin Yun was a good son-in-law that could not be found even if one tried to find him. How could he let him go so easily?
"That's hard to say." Yang Duan He grinned.”
"Besides, as long as you're not married, anything is possible!”
"So what if we get married? Great Qin's laws support separation!”
Wang Ben and Yang Duan He started quarreling, but Wang Wan came over and cupped her hands,"I wonder if Preceptor Qin has found a good seedling suitable for Wen Zheng recently?”
Qin Yun smiled and cupped his hands." There are no suitable candidates for now.”
"If you have any gains, you must recommend me!" Wang Wan said warmly.”
"The Qin country's teacher doesn't know how proud that old boorish man Wang Jian has been recently!”
"Minister Wang, I'm going to tell Marquis Wucheng this!" Meng Wu laughed loudly.”
"Teacher Qin, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. I have a jar of good wine for you and me to drink tonight!”
During the seven days of their journey back, the civil and military officials swarmed to Qin Yun's side in an orderly manner according to their official positions and titles. They introduced themselves in various ways and tried their best to establish a relationship with him.
After all, Qin Yun's status as the Imperial Preceptor aside.
Just the fact that Qin Yun was an immortal was enough to make everyone want to build a good relationship with him.
What if Qin Yun found him pleasing to the eye and bestowed him with an Immortal Pill?
As for Qin Yun, he was happy to see it happen. He had a warm chat with all the officials.
Although he was now the Imperial Preceptor, he was still a great conman. How could Qin Yun miss out on so many fat sheep?
Seven days later, the eastern convoy drove into Xianyang City under the dumbfounded gazes of the people of Xianyang.
"Didn't you say that Your Majesty is going to Langya to patrol the east? Why are you back so soon?"
"Could it be that something happened to His Majesty? Eighth husband, isn't your brother-in-law's third uncle's neighbor's sixth grandson on duty at the palace gate? Hurry up and ask him to find out what happened!”
The people of Xianyang were discussing animatedly, but Ying Zheng had already changed into a single horse and small carriage before entering the city, and followed Ying Zheng into Qin Manor secretly.
Looking at the lush green sweet potato leaves in the back garden, Ying Zheng excitedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the sweet potato leaves.
"These are sweet potatoes and potatoes?”
Qin Yun nodded with a chuckle." Brother Zheng is right. These are sweet potatoes and potatoes.”
"This is also the first gift I will give Great Qin after becoming the Imperial Advisor!”
