Looking at Wang Ben's dazed face, Shen Han smiled and nodded at Ying Zheng, then said,
"That's right! The yield of potatoes per mu could reach 60 stones! If the land was fertile, it was possible to get 70 stones!”
Hearing Shen Han's casual introduction of the potato production, Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, Li Si, Meng Tian, and the others were all stunned!
Wang Ben quickly swallowed the tripe in his mouth, but he didn't even have the time to taste it. He glared at Shen Han and said,
"Immortal! Are you joking with us? Sixty dan per mu? How could there be such an exaggerated amount of food in the world?”
No wonder Wang Ben was so surprised!
The main reason was that Great Qin's grain production per mu was only 2-6 dan!
Moreover, the conditions to reach a yield of 6 dans per mu were very harsh!
The fertility of the land, sufficient rain and sunlight, and no pests!
Usually, if they could reach 5 stones per mu, the farmers would already be thanking the heavens!
The sudden mention of 60 piculs of potatoes per mu by Chen Han was something that could subvert everyone's worldview. Ying Zheng, Wang Ben, and the others found it hard to believe!
At this moment, Li Si, who was still in shock, could not help but sigh.
"Six…sixty stones! Such a high yield of food could simply be called a divine item!”
Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and the others also swallowed their saliva. They immediately picked up their chopsticks and picked up the remaining potato slices on their plates. They asked curiously,
"What does this divine object look like? Could it be that our Great Qin also has it, but no one has discovered it?”
"Yes, yes! "If we can find out what this potato looks like, we'll go back to Great Qin and ask the world to look for it. If we can find it, how can Great Qin lack food?”
Hearing Wang Jian and Meng Tian's questions, Ying Zheng asked Shen Han excitedly,
"Immortal! Is what you said true? Was there really such a divine item in this world? Immortal, can you let me and my beloved ministers see what this potato looks like? I want to call on the world to find it!"
Shen Han smiled and glanced at the crowd, then shook his head at Ying Zheng. Then, he turned into a holographic image of a potato and said,
"This is what potatoes look like! However, I advise you not to waste your efforts! This thing is still in your era! "Moreover, Meizhou is far from Great Qin, and it is not something that Great Qin can reach with its current conditions…"
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the potato in the holographic image.
"It's so big! This potato was even bigger than Old Wang's fist! According to the feeling of fullness he had experienced just now, this potato alone could probably provide a meal for a laborer!”
"An ordinary person would definitely be stuffed after eating such a big potato, right?”
"Such miraculous food is actually far away in Mei Zhou! How painful! What a pity!"
“……”
Hearing the sighs of Wang Ben, Li Si, and the others, Shen Han said with certainty that Great Qin did not have potatoes.
Ying Zheng's face showed a strong look of regret as he sighed,
"What a pity! If our Great Qin can obtain these potatoes, why would we have to worry about not being able to stabilize the people? Why worry about not being able to defeat the Xiongnu?"
Right now, the biggest problem Great Qin faced was food!
As the ruler of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Zheng knew very well that as long as he could solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people, other than those remnants of the six dynasties who were ready to make trouble, who else in the world would have the thought of rebelling against the Great Qin Empire?
As for the remnants of the six dynasties, Ying Zheng didn't care about them at all!
Once Great Qin had enough food, Ying Zheng would be free to expand his territory!
Conquer the Western Regions and fight the Xiongnu!
Sweep across Yazhou and even pacify the world!
Now, Ying Zheng had a strong desire to conquer!
However, he could only face the potatoes that he could not get in front of him. He could only sigh in the face of his remaining three to five months of life!
Shen Han saw through Ying Zheng's thoughts with a single glance and said with a smile,
"Sir, there's no need to be so disappointed! In fact, there were many high-yield crops like potatoes, such as sweet potatoes and hybrid rice! As long as your luck is good enough, you can even get the Elixir of Immortality, let alone this potato.”
Hearing Shen Han's words, Wang Ben, Li Si, Meng Tian, and the others gulped in shock.
Ying Zheng stared at Shen Han in surprise and asked,
"What is it? And high-yield crops comparable to potatoes? Sweet potatoes? Mixed rice? Immortals! What are the production rates of sweet potatoes and hybrid rice?”
Shen Han smiled.
"The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is comparable to potatoes! For hybrid rice, it was slightly lower, but it could still exceed 50 dan per mu! Moreover, hybrid rice was more nutritious than sweet potatoes and potatoes!”
Hearing Shen Han's introduction, Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled. It was obvious that he had a strong desire for sweet potatoes and hybrid rice!
In Ying Zheng's eyes, if he could get any one of them, Great Qin would undergo a tremendous change!
When he thought about watching the live broadcast of historical events, answering the questions correctly, or accurately agreeing or disagreeing with the answers of the people who answered the questions, he would have the chance to obtain such a divine item. At this moment, how could Ying Zheng still be in the mood to eat hotpot?
Before Shen Han's wine was served, Ying Zheng said impatiently,
"Immortal! Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly start watching the live broadcast of history and answer the questions.”
