On the other side, after receiving Ying Zheng's decree, Ying Chen was not worried at all. Instead, he laughed out loud.

At this moment, Ying Chen's body suddenly emitted an aura that seemed to be able to control the entire world."Fine, since Father wants me to shock the world, then from this moment on, I will shock the world!”

Actually, Ying Chen had been waiting for an opportunity!

This opportunity was the harvest of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that were being planted in Guanzhong!

This matter was related to the foundation and beginning of his series of plans!

In truth, this was the biggest problem for Great Qin!

Since ancient times, the problem of food had been the biggest problem for the entire dynasty!

The people of China had always been the kindest and most tolerant people!

As long as there was a mouthful of food to eat, these people would not rebel!

Of course, if the commoners really couldn't take it anymore, then the result would be the palace treasury being burned to ashes, and all the bones of the officials trampled on the Heavenly Street!

The entire world had to be cleared!

Therefore, Ying Chen deeply understood that the prerequisite for all changes must be for the people to be able to afford food!

As long as the foundation was firm, no matter how many problems there were, it would not be a problem!

These problems only depended on whether the superior had the determination to cut off everything!

This opportunity had appeared along with the harvest of the ten million mu of fertile land in Guanzhong!

At this moment, Ying Chen, under the service of the two women, wore the imperial robe that he would only wear during important court meetings!

Ying Chen was wearing a five-clawed black dragon robe, and on his head was a crown with nine strings of streamers hanging in front of him. Then, he walked like a dragon and tiger, and under the escort of Cao Huachun and a group of internal servants, he walked towards Zhangtai Palace.

When Ying Chen appeared in Zhangtai Palace, the officials who were originally standing still below the stage could not help but feel their hearts tremble!

They knew that at this moment, the Crown Prince Ying Chen would definitely make a big move!

Ying Chen swept a glance at the officials below before speaking,"Internal historian, now that there is a bumper harvest in Guanzhong, you should already have the preliminary data of the harvest in Guanzhong.”

As soon as he said this, Internal Secretary Zhi Li, who was named by Ying Chen, stood up and said with an extremely excited expression,"Today, our Guanzhong has more than 8.5 million mu of land, of which 7 million are planted with the sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes bestowed by His Highness the Crown Prince!”

"In these seven million mu of land, three million mu of sweet potatoes will be planted, producing an average of 40 dan (which is now 2,000 jin) of grain!“

"Two million mu of potatoes can produce forty piculs of grain!”

"Two million mu of corn, with an average yield of fifteen piculs!”

"According to my estimates, the Guanzhong region has had a bumper harvest this time. We have obtained a total of 230 million dan of grain!”

"Right now, Great Qin's land tax is 1/10. Excluding the tax free land, there should be close to 9 million dan of grain in the treasury!”

On the other side, Ying Chen who was on the stage heard Internal Affairs Zhi Li's words and secretly frowned!

Good heavens, so in the Qin Dynasty, the annexation of land was already so serious!

230 million dans of grain. According to the tax rate, the treasury should have collected 23 million dans of grain.

But now, the national treasury could only take in nine million dans of grain!

The difference was obviously taken by the nobles and aristocratic families who did not need to pay taxes.

From this, it could be deduced that the land occupied by these nobles and worlds had already reached a terrifying 60%!

This was still in Guanzhong, under the feet of the emperor. Those aristocratic families and nobles did not eat so badly!

What about the rest of Great Qin's land other than Guanzhong?

Thinking of this, Ying Chen couldn't help but remember this group of nobles and aristocratic families!

Of course, now was not the time to touch these aristocratic families and nobles.

One had to eat one mouthful at a time, and one had to do one thing at a time!

Ruling a big country is like cooking a small fish!

He couldn't rush it!

On this side, the officials present did not know that they had already been targeted by the Crown Prince.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were stunned by the harvest this time!

Although many of them had a lot of land under their families, they didn't often check the data.

The ones who kept the accounts for them were usually the old butlers.

As such, after knowing the production of the three treasures, they knew that Great Qin's treasury would definitely skyrocket!

However, he had never thought that just the Guanzhong Pass alone would produce more food than the entire Great Qin in a year!

In other words, if these nine million dans of grain were given to all the people in the world, they could last for a month and a half!

Don't underestimate this number, and this was only the data of Guanzhong!

At this moment, with Prime Minister Li Si and Feng Quji leading the way, all the officials present shouted,""Ten thousand years for Great Qin, ten thousand years for His Majesty, ten thousand years for His Highness!”

At this moment, the loud cheers seemed to want to overturn the entire Zhangtai Palace!

However, Ying Chen was exceptionally calm at this moment.

Seeing Ying Chen's expression, some of the officials who were good at observing people's expressions couldn't help but feel shocked.

It seemed that something big was going to happen today!

After the officials quieted down, Ying Chen continued to ask,"Then the other places in Great Qin should have received news of the bumper harvest in Guanzhong?”

As soon as he said this, Internal Secretary Zhi Li quickly said,"Your Highness, Ba Shu, Longxi, the Northern Territory, and Hedong are all praying for Your Highness to spread the improved seeds of San Bao to them as soon as possible.”

"However, the people of the old land of the Six Nations seem to still have doubts about the production of the Three Treasures, so they seem to be hesitant.”

Ying Chen nodded." Since that's the case, then we'll spread these three treasures to Ba Shu, Longxi, the Northern Territory, and the Eastern part of the river."”

"After this, in at most four months, the grain in these four places and the Guanzhong Pass will be harvested. The grain in the treasury will definitely exceed 30 million dan!”

The moment these words came out, all the officials were instantly shocked!

Immediately after, he was overjoyed!

Yes, it was their loss that the other places did not accept these improved seeds!

As long as the Guanzhong Pass and Longxi had this much food, Great Qin would have enough food to feed all of the people in the world for half a year!

As long as there was food, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, with these five places as examples, the entire world would know the benefits of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes!

At that time, even if the government did not do anything, they would probably take the initiative to ask the government to give them the improved seeds of the three treasures.

This is called changing the form of attack and defense!

Thinking of this, the officials could not help but feel smug!

Until Ying Chen opened his mouth and said,"Since the world is visibly stable, then I will issue a decree next!"”
