"What are you doing?" As soon as Shi Huang came out, he saw Ying Chu squatting by the fire not far away.
There was also a black lump in the faintly discernible bonfire!
"Hmm?"
Ying Chu, who was concentrating on roasting the sweet potatoes, raised his head and met the Emperor Shi's deep eyes.
"Imperial Father, have you already settled it?”
Ever since Shi Huang woke up, Ying Chu had turned around and left the tent.
What happened next had nothing to do with him.
After all, it was related to national affairs and not something a child like him should listen to.
If he stood at the side and watched, it would inevitably make others think too much.
The sun was setting, and the air was still filled with a trace of blood.
However, Zhao Gao's corpse had already been disposed of.
Of course, Huhai, who had been forced to watch Zhao Gao's execution, had also been dragged to the First Emperor a few minutes ago.
Soon after, Meng Yi and the rest also left the tent.
Ying Chu had thought that Emperor Shi would chat with Huhai for a while, but who knew that in just a few minutes, the other party would appear in front of him.
"There's nothing to deal with."
The First Emperor said indifferently and then sat beside Ying Chu,""It's already known. Why would it take too long to deal with it?”
To be honest, what the First Emperor said made sense.
After all, everyone knew what happened to Zhao Gao.
In the face of betrayal, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to deal with Shi Huang.
As for Huhai and Li Si, although one was a prince and the other was a prime minister, they were both bewitched by Zhao Gao to commit heinous acts.
The First Emperor never showed mercy to those who were not loyal to him.
Therefore, even if both of them had a high social status, as Zhao Gao's accomplices, their fate would not be good.
Even if the First Emperor was willing to show mercy, he would not be able to escape the fate of exile.
"However, compared to these things, zhen wants to know what medicine you gave zhen just now?”
"Master only gave me one Life Prolonging Pill!”
"Ya! My sweet potatoes!"
In order to stop Shi Huang from asking any more questions, Ying Chu hurriedly pulled the sweet potatoes in the fire.
After all, he really didn't know how to explain it to the First Emperor other than pushing the blame to that non-existent master.
By the time he hurriedly pulled the sweet potato out of the fire, the purplish-red skin of the sweet potato had already become charred black.
"It's fine. I can still eat."
After carefully peeling off the skin, Ying Chu looked at the tender yellow flesh and smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
She could smile so brightly just because of something she had never seen before.
This surprised the First Emperor. At the same time, he felt relieved about the question.
Actually, ever since he woke up, he had been very surprised by Ying Chu's actions.
First, he turned around and left very sensibly, leaving enough face for himself.
After all, whether it was a eunuch betraying the emperor or a father and son falling out, it was a rather big scandal for him.
And win Chu.
A five-year-old child was actually able to react before Meng Yi and the other ministers and quickly leave the scene to not embarrass himself.
This would definitely make people's impression of him soar.
Not to mention that he liked that child from the beginning.
In addition, Ying Chu had saved his life time and time again, and he had also found the greatest hidden danger in the imperial court, indirectly protecting Great Qin's 100-year-old foundation.
All of these were enough for the First Emperor to show enough importance to him.
As for the matter of lifespan, there was no need to mention it.
After spending so much time with Ying Chu, his lifespan had unknowingly accumulated for more than half a month.
Of course, the most important thing was that up until now, everything that this child and his master had said had been verified.
This was also the main reason why the First Emperor had come out to find him as soon as he finished dealing with government affairs.
He did not know when it started, but as long as he could see this child, everything he had would have a layer of security.
"Father, do you want to eat?"
Seeing Shi Huang staring at him in a daze, Ying Chu thought that he wanted to eat sweet potatoes.
Then, he immediately broke the sweet potato into half and handed it to Emperor Shi.
But in reality, the First Emperor was just recalling some things.
"I…"
Smelling the unique sweet smell of the sweet potato, the first emperor's words of refusal died in his stomach.
"What is this?" As he took the sweet potato, he revealed a puzzled look.
"Sweet potatoes? Have you never eaten them before?"
The alluring fragrance of the sweet potato immediately aroused Ying Chu's craving.
He was so impatient that he couldn't care less about the heat.
The burning sensation made him unable to hold back his tears.
But even so, he still couldn't bear to spit it out.
It had been a long time since he had eaten sweet potatoes. Needless to say, the taste was quite nostalgic.
Seeing him eat so sweetly, Shi Huang couldn't help but salivate.
It had to be said that the fragrance emitted by the unknown food in his hand was indeed appetizing.
He no longer hesitated.
After taking a bite, it was sweet and soft, and the fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth.
"This thing is really delicious!"
Shi Huang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take another bite.
Ying Chu revealed an expression that said,""Of course. This item is called Sweet Potato (alias: Sweet potato), convolvulus sweet potato is an annual herb.”
"It is native to South America and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. It is widely cultivated in tropical and tropical regions around the world.”
" It's more than two meters long and lies flat on the ground. Its leaves are usually wide oval, 4 to 13 centimeters long and 3 to 13 centimeters wide. Its corolla is pink, white, light purple or purple, bell-shaped or funnel-shaped, and 3 to 4 centimeters long. The capsule is oval or oblate."
"It has a false membrane and is divided into four rooms. It has an underground root, the root is spindle-shaped, and the outer skin is earthen yellow or purple-red. It likes temperature, is afraid of cold, is not cold-resistant, and likes light.”
"Because of its strong adaptability and its excellent characteristics of being suitable for no land, its yield is relatively high. There is a possibility that it can produce dozens of stones per mu, which is twenty times better than planting grain.”
"In addition, it is moist and edible. It can be boiled or ground into powder. It tastes like water chestnuts when eaten raw and honey when cooked."
"Dozens of stones per mu is twenty times better than the grain?”Qin Shi Huang looked at the sweet potato in his hand in disbelief.
How could there be such a high production of this thing?
How was this possible?
It was no wonder Shi Huang was shocked.
After all, Great Qin's current output was only around 100 kilograms per Mu.
And the yield of sweet potatoes per mu could actually reach dozens of stones.
One stone was 120 jin. If the yield of this crop could really reach 10 stones per mu, it would be 1200 jin!
Such a yield per mu was simply appalling!
Seeing the Emperor's shocked expression, Ying Chu suddenly remembered that there had never been a sweet potato in Great Qin.
The sweet potato first appeared in China in the 21st year of Wanli (1593).
During the Ming Dynasty, a father and son who had been doing business in Luzon (the philippines) for many years saw a local root crop called sweet potato.
The root of that thing is as big as a fist, the skin is red, the heart is crisp and juicy, raw and ripe can be eaten, the yield is high, and it is widely planted and can bear barren land.
Thinking of their hometown, which had many mountains and few fields, barren land, and insufficient food, the father and son decided to bring sweet potatoes back to their country.
