Chapter 10-Dispatching Heavenly Items! (New book!)
"This thing is called sweet potato. It's native to North America. Its scientific name is sweet potato!”
"Just like potatoes, it can be eaten as a vegetable or as a staple food. After drying it, it can also be used as food. Dad, try this!”
Su Mu brought a piece of dried sweet potato to Ying Zheng.
At this point, Li Si did not wait for Ying Zheng's gaze and took the initiative to approach him.
Li Si could finally tell that the kid in front of him was not an assassin.
They probably really didn't know their identities.
Li Si grabbed a piece of dried sweet potato and started chewing.
"Hmm?"
After two bites, Li Si's eyes widened again.
"Sweet! Smells good!"
Su Mu grinned.
Although the dried sweet potatoes that he had dried had not been processed, one should not forget that the lack of condiments in this era was unimaginable to modern people.
In this era, salt was a luxury for ordinary people. They could not have it for every meal.
Not to mention other condiments.
Therefore, the dried sweet potatoes he made in Liaodong were very popular.
"Dad, try it too." Su Mu placed the dried sweet potatoes into Ying Zheng's hands.
At this moment, Li Si had no time to care about Ying Zheng. After chewing one, he picked up a second piece of dried sweet potato from behind him.
Ying Zheng looked at Su Mu, then at the dried sweet potato in his hand, and then gently placed it in his mouth and started chewing.
Indeed, if Li Si was right, although the faint sweetness was not as sweet as honey water, it was a sweet feeling.
After eating a piece of sweet potato slice, Ying Zheng looked at Su Mu, and a question gradually rose in his heart.
Where did Su Mu get so many magical things?
Could it be that he had really been to the places he described?
"Oh, right, Su Mu, I just heard that you said that the yield of this thing is 20 to 30 stones per mu?”
Li Si, who was chewing on the second piece and holding the third piece, suddenly looked up and asked.
"If the years are good, I'm afraid it won't be just that!”Su Mu put away the dried sweet potatoes on the ground.
One look and one could tell that Old Li was a foodie. This was all his stock. He didn't want Old Li to finish it all.
Twenty to thirty dan per mu?
Ying Zheng suddenly turned to Su Mu.
What was the concept of 20 to 30 dan per mu?
In the most fertile area of the Chu Land, the highest yield of grain in a year was only three to four stones. Could it be that the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes could reach ten times?
The same piece of land could feed ten times the population.
If this is the case
Ying Zheng's eyes gradually widened, and even his heart began to beat faster.
If this could be spread throughout Great Qin, in less than 15 years, Great Qin's population would at least increase by six or seven times!
six or seven times
Oh my god!
This was only in the short term, but in the long term,
"Is Su Mu's sweet potato and potato production really that high?”Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
Su Mu turned his head and looked at Ying Zheng." Father, why would I lie to you? It's really that tall!"”
Su Mu was not lying.
If it was really South America or North America, the potatoes and sweet potatoes would not have such a high yield.
The sweet potatoes from those places of origin were all the original varieties, and the yield was not high.
However, the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Su Mu brought back from the modern world were different.
These were all breeds that had been improved countless times in the later generations.
Only then did this high-yield and drought-resistant variety appear.
"Let's put it this way." Su Mu raised his chin and said," These potatoes and sweet potatoes are not only high-yield, but also drought-resistant. Even in bitter cold places, the yield is still shocking!"”
Hiss!
Ying Zheng and Li Si looked at each other and gasped.
this
Isn't this the weapon of the country?
If they could really spread it out, Great Qin's population would be insufficient, and the remaining injuries would be quickly healed!
Thinking of this, the excited Ying Zheng and Li Si each grabbed one of Su Mu's arms.
"Su Mu, quickly take out the remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes!”Li Si's voice changed due to his excitement.
Ying Zheng, who was standing at the side, was also looking at Su Mu with eager eyes.
This thing was too important.
If it was true, and the production was as high as Su Mu said, then it would be a weapon for the country and the foundation for the country and the people!
Now, Ying Zheng really had some doubts, wondering if Su Mu was an immortal sent by the heavens to save him.
however
Su Mu pointed at the dried sweet potatoes on the ground and the potatoes that he had dug out from the bonfire.
"Here, it's all here. Oh right, you ate a lot just now!”
"What?"
Li Si widened his eyes.
It's all here?
Roasted? Sliced and dried?
Li Si looked at Su Mu and felt his head buzz. He could not even see clearly.
His blood pressure was probably rising.
"You, you…"
"You're simply throwing away heavenly treasures! How can this be eaten!" Li Si's expression was pained as he stomped his feet. He was about to go up and strangle Su Mu to death.
"Yo! How fresh is this? This thing is meant to be eaten. You've seen me eat it a lot!”Su Mu pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at Li Si.
Although Ying Zheng did not say anything, his hand subconsciously held onto the wall beside him.
He was a little confused.
Just a moment ago, Ying Zheng and Li Si were still fantasizing that if Great Qin really had such a thing, it would only take ten to twenty years for the population of the Great Qin Empire to increase by several times.
In the next few decades, Great Qin's population would reach a shocking number.
At that time, the millions of Qin soldiers would be able to wipe out any place they wanted.
What Xiongnu, what South Yue, they could be destroyed with a wave of their hands.
But after a moment, Su Mu told them that it was gone again!
If there's no hope, then don't give us hope!
It gave us hope and immediately made us despair!
Aren't you afraid that we, two middle-aged people, will have a stroke?
"Su Mu, that father still has some matters to attend to, I'll be leaving first.”Ying Zheng, who was a little confused, stood up with the help of the wall.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave now, he would be scared to death by Su Mu.
Li Si glared at Su Mu as if he was going to bite him.
"Still leaving?" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then followed Ying Zheng and stood up.
Su Mu turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and whispered into Ying Zheng's ear.
"Father, don't go out for the time being. Ying Zheng has been tricked by Xu Fu into going out to sea to search for immortals. Don't fall into his trap. There are no immortals in the East Sea.”
" Ying Zheng, such a shrewd emperor, was actually fooled by Xu Fu. Sigh!"
Su Mu shook his head and sighed.
Good fellow!
Li Si really wanted to give Su Mu a thumbs up.
You're awesome!
To dare call the Great Qin Emperor an idiot in front of him, you must be the number one person in the entire Great Qin Empire.
Excitement, this was too f * cking exciting!
Li Si really did not know how to describe Su Mu.
It should be said that the ignorant are fearless!
Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Su Mu with raised eyebrows, his blood pressure rising.
"You said Xu Fu is a liar?"
