He looked at the officials who were eating until they were panting.
Ying Ziye's face revealed a trace of speechlessness.
Isn't it just a potato?
Was there a need to eat so happily?
One had to know.
These were all nobles.
They ate meat on a daily basis.
Zhang Yang was also holding a potato in his hand.
However, he only took a bite.
He looked at the round and sweet potatoes.
He could not help but sigh.
"It would be great if the people of Yunzhong County could have a taste of such delicious ingredients!”
Although he was a county governor.
But in fact, he had been farming all these years.
The potatoes that Ying Ziye took out.
It was a completely new type of food.
Since it was a new food.
That meant that it was possible to save the people who were suffering from famine.
Everyone understood.
What did this potato mean to Great Qin's people?
Not only at the dining table.
One more dish.
County Governor Zhang's hands trembled as he looked at Ying Ziye.
"Crown Prince, may I ask how many potatoes are produced per mu?”
This question.
It was what all the ministers present wanted to know.
Everyone looked at Ying Ziye.
"Five thousand jin!"
Ying Ziye stretched out five fingers.
Oh…five thousand…
Puff...
County Governor Zhang was stunned when he heard that number.
Did he hear wrongly?
5,000 catties per mu?
One had to know.
In the entire Great Qin, the yield of corn per mu was only around 100 kilograms, but the yield of potatoes per mu was 5,000 kilograms?
The entire court exploded!
Everyone knew.
What was the concept of 5,000 catties per mu?
If it was promoted.
How many people would be saved by that?
"Is…is this true?"
"5,000 catties per mu?"
"This feeling of fullness can completely replace corn as a staple food!”
"If every household planted one mu of potatoes!”
"Not only can we feed our families, but we can also store up extra food.”
"Good heavens!"
"Is this a miracle?"
"Is the heavens going to save the lives of Great Qin?”
All of the officials felt their blood boil. They had all eaten potatoes and experienced the suffering of Great Qin's people.
Only then could they truly feel how precious these potatoes were to the people.
The Yunzhong County Governor was Zhang Yang.
His body trembled.
He walked forward.
He knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Crown Prince, this potato is a divine item that can save the world!”
"I wonder if there are any weather requirements for planting potatoes?”
The Yunzhong County Chief was quite knowledgeable about planting and pointed out the key points.
"This potato doesn't have any special requirements for the weather. Even if there's a drought, it can mature!”
"And it can be harvested twice a year!"
Ying Ziye explained with a smile.
Two crops a year?
The Yunzhong Prefectural Governor gulped.
His face was filled with disbelief.
Didn't this mean…
As long as the planting of potatoes was promoted, the famine would be alleviated in less than half a year?
Li Si took a deep breath.
At this moment.
He had a whole new level of respect for Ying Ziye.
In fact…
A sense of worship that was comparable to the first emperor rose in his heart.
Famine!
This was a difficult problem that no one could solve.
However, Ying Ziye took out the potatoes.
5,000 catties per mu.
Two crops a year!
As long as it was promoted properly, it could alleviate the famine.
This is for the country and the people.
There were huge benefits.
"Crown Prince, I think we should immediately promote the planting of potatoes to alleviate the famine!”
"Why don't we use Yunzhong County as a trial?”
"Plant potatoes!"
"With Yunzhong County as the center, force all the surrounding counties to plant potatoes!”
"To ensure that before winter comes.”
"I can harvest it once!"
"Help the people survive the winter safely?"
The Yunzhong County Governor also stood up.
"Crown Prince, I am Yunzhong County Chief. I will not let you down.”
"I must harvest a ripe potato before winter arrives!”
Ying Ziye nodded and swept his gaze across the ministers.
"Alright, let's do that. I'll leave Li Si to you!”
"Retreat!"
……
The ministers all left Xianyang Palace.
At this moment.
Everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts.
From the very beginning, he despised Ying Ziye.
They felt that Ying Ziye was not worthy of governing the country.
He went to Ying Ziye's palace to kill Zhao Gao.
And now, he had taken out 5,000 catties of potatoes per mu.
They could save the people of Dawn.
A series of actions.
This made all the courtiers completely change their view of Ying Ziye.
"I feel like the Crown Prince is a celestial from the heavens, and he's here to save Great Qin!”
"Whether it's killing Zhao Gao or promoting potatoes!”
"Every single one of them is a peerless merit!”
"I'm ashamed. I even said bad things about the crown prince before. I really deserve to die!”
"Although the First Emperor's achievements are unparalleled, the Crown Prince Emperor has already surpassed the First Emperor in the way he treats the people!”
……
At the same time!
Ying Zheng, who had been cultivating in seclusion, slowly opened his eyes.
Although he was cultivating.
However, he had yet to reach the stage of fasting.
Although…
He needed to eat to replenish his energy every day.
Today's meal was simple.
Some of Ying Zheng's favorite dishes, as well as something round as a stone with a golden skin.
Ying Zheng had never seen it before.
Curious, she took a bite.
Instantly.
He was slightly stunned.
Sweet and soft.
Since when did Great Qin have such food?
He looked at Handan, who was standing beside him.
"Handan, what is this thing that I am eating?”
"Your Majesty, this is something the Crown Prince found, called potatoes…"
"Potato? Why haven't I heard of it?"
" This... I don't know. This is the first time I've heard of it. It was taken out by the Crown Prince in the imperial court. It's said that this plant ripens twice a year and can produce 5,000 catties per mu..."
