Ying Zheng noticed something.
The 100,000 catties of potato seeds had been sent to the imperial court by the heavens for the five dynasties, the Qin Dynasty, the Ming Chongzhen period, and the Song and Zhao Gou period.
During the period of Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, they were distributed.
Although Ying Zheng didn't know why the High Heavens did this, this was an opportunity!
It was a chance to wipe out the influence of the remnants of the Six Nations and win the hearts of the people!
The remnants of the Six Nations still had some influence in the land of Hope.
However, this influence would weaken with the passage of time.
Why did the Tian family replace Qi?
It was all because the Duke of the Jiang family of Qi State was not good at governing the country and was tyrannical, while the Great Official Tian loved the people.
At the turn of winter and spring, when the people were short of food, the Tian family would lend their own grain to the people at extremely low interest rates and return it after the grain was harvested.
At this time, the Tian family would magnanimously say that they would only give the amount of grain and that there was no need to pay interest.
With just this move, the Tian family had won the hearts of the Qi people.
Not to mention other measures such as taking the initiative to help the common people treat their illnesses and borrowing money without interest.
Compared to the tyrannical Jiang Monarch, the people of Qi would naturally like the Tian family more.
With the support of millions of people, everything that happened later could be understood.
This was how the Tian family had replaced Qi.
At this moment, it was exactly like that time.
Great Qin's laws were strict, and it prohibited private fights and business activities. It also stipulated that no one could be idle and that if anything went wrong, they would break their limbs and carve words on their faces.
How could the people of Qi State, who had a habit of fighting privately and were full of rangers, endure this?
The Qi Kingdom was also filled with resentment. Previously, because the Qi Kingdom valued commerce and had the benefits of fishing and salt, they were very lenient with the tax on agriculture. They only had 30% of the tax and 20% of the tax.
Now that Great Qin had arrived, in order to support the long-drawn-out Battle of Baiyue and the construction of the Great Wall, the Qin Dynasty had set a tax of 50% of the total tax.
In the past, there was no need to repair the weeds after planting the land. After the Qin Dynasty came, they had to pay 50% of the tax. Even if they cultivated quietly, they could only ask for food and clothing.
Would the people of Qi thank Qin?
Other places had the same principle as Qi.
Once there were potatoes, all the problems would be solved.
Ordinary people would think that this was a gift from heaven to the Qin Dynasty.
With potatoes, the Qin Dynasty planted 100,000 catties of seeds all over the country. The yield per mu was 10,000 catties, enough for everyone to eat!
The remnants of the Six Nations and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy needed a place to survive.
Many commoners were the soil they lived on.
Once Great Qin won them over, the remnants of the Six Nations and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy would not be able to cause any trouble.
Similarly, with the potatoes, Great Qin no longer needed to pay 10% to 50% of the tax. Even if it was only 10% or 500 catties of grain per mu, it would be five times more than the 100 catties of grain per mu!!!!
10% tax!
It was enough to make the people of the world grateful!
Rebellion?
With potatoes, every household could eat their fill and even have a few more children. Who would have nothing better to do than to rebel with the remnants of the Six Nations?
Now that Great Qin had obtained a large amount of food, Great Qin could release its surplus people to become soldiers and open up businesses.
He could use potatoes to exchange for many specialties of the Western Regions.
He could even sell the surplus potatoes to the Hundred Yue at a low price, so that he could defeat the enemy without fighting.
In fact…Ying Zheng had other thoughts.
For example, they could provide potatoes to the Xiongnu for free or at a low price, so that the Xiongnu would not attack the Hetao area.
When the Xiongnu got used to the potatoes provided by the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty would cut off their food supply during the winter!
At that time…
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng ordered,
"Feng Quji, you and Li…personally draft a detailed potato distribution agreement. You have to quickly distribute the seeds to Great Qin's people before they are planted.”
Thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng added,"
"You must be fair and just!"
"In addition, Zong Zheng, prepare to worship. I want to worship the heavens. I want to thank the heavens!”
………
Zhang Liang looked at the screen and felt dizzy.
"Han Country…will never be restored!”
Xiang Liang looked sad." Although Chu has three families, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed. Could this be a lie?"
The young masters of the Tian family were all in despair." The heavens want to destroy our Qi Kingdom!!!”
……
Year 1628.
Chong Zhen was ecstatic.
"Good! Alright! That's great!"
"Ten years of good weather! No locusts, no rats, no hail, no droughts, no floods. Isn't this what I need?!”
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world entered the Little Ice Age. Hail, frost, floods, and many other abnormal climates caused crop failures in many areas.
At this time, Chongzhen was in a terrible state due to the Little Ice Age. Suddenly, the heavens sent a favorable weather. It was simply a divine weapon descending from the heavens!!
And the 5,000 catties of potatoes per mu made him laugh so hard that he couldn't speak!
Potato is a good thing!
The Ming Dynasty potatoes had already appeared, but the yield per mu was only 400 to 500 catties. There was no improved version of 5,000 catties.
Now, the yield of 5,000 catties of potatoes per mu was enough for the people of the country to not go hungry.
The potatoes could be used as food, steamed, and fried. They could even be made into vermicelli, which tasted delicious.
With potatoes from the sky, the people would be able to eat their fill, the soldiers at the border would not have to starve, and the Central Plains would not have an uprising.
The Central Plains was stable, and the barbarians of the Later Jin Dynasty wanted to use their heads to fight him?!
Chong Zhen was so excited that he was speechless.
From the looks of it, the Ming Dynasty would not perish in his hands?
"Men, take out a portion of the calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry obtained from the national treasury. I want to sacrifice to the heavens and thank the heavens for protecting my Ming Dynasty!”
……
Southern Song historical node.
A eunuch walked out of the palace and said helplessly,"
"His Majesty is not feeling well, so the matter of the potato seeds will be left to you to decide.”
The ministers looked at each other and said in unison,
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Year 211.
Cao Cao was indignant.
"It's not fair! The heavens were unfair! He is clearly a traitor of Cao Cao! Why did he scatter the potatoes among the people?!”
"There are still ten years of good weather. Why should I give it to the entire Great Han Dynasty? Can't I give it to Cao Cao alone?!”
"Why should the gains of the treacherous officials under this old man be shared with that boob and Big Ear Liu!!”
His heart was bleeding!
If he had potatoes, he would not have to worry about anything else. He could just start fighting!
There were already few people in Western Shu and Eastern Wu. With potatoes, if he operated a little, Eastern Wu might even surrender directly!
However, he had yet to claim the title of Emperor. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were still the subordinates of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in name. They were still subjects of the Han Dynasty! The seeds and favorable weather would be shared between the two.
Wasn't this just increasing the difficulty of unifying them?
In Shu Han, Zhuge Liang smiled and said,"
"Congratulations, my lord. Jingzhou and Yizhou are fertile. With potatoes, we no longer have to worry about the future!”
"I'll have to trouble you with the potatoes, Prime Minister!" Liu Bei said with a smile.”
……
Li Shi Min stood up and said in surprise,
" There's such a good thing?!!"
Then, he looked at the civil and military officials and said resentfully,
"Why don't you guys have a traitor?!”
"Look! Look! A treacherous official in exchange for ten years of good weather and 100,000 catties of potato seeds. He had made a killing!”
" You don't even have the ability to live up to expectations!!"
The civil and military officials: "???"
There are no treacherous officials. Is it my fault?
