The four of them suddenly stood up.
They looked at Ying Che in disbelief.
"Two thousand jin?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Where is it?"
Ying Che ignored them and didn't reply. Because today was destined to be a day of great shock for them.
He continued,
"The production environment of the rice just now is a little harsh.”
"The other two are called potatoes and sweet potatoes.”
"These two kinds have lower production environment requirements, and the yield will be higher. They can be used as staple food or vegetables.”
"The yield of potatoes is 4000 catties per mu, and the yield of sweet potatoes can reach 6000 catties.”
"The production cycle of potatoes is short. Two months is enough. The sweet potatoes are longer and can mature in four to five months.”
How was this possible?
The four of them continued to be dumbfounded.
Ying Che continued,
"These three crops are still in the process of large-scale seed cultivation. You have to keep it a secret.”
"In two to three months, there will be several hundred thousand jin of grain, which can also be used as seeds.”
"At that time, we can take out a portion of the disaster relief.”
"The other portion will be used as seeds for the 700,000 people who retired from Epang Palace to plant.”
"After they start planting, in another two to three months, Great Qin should be able to harvest tens of millions of kilograms of food.”
"At that time, I don't need to tell you what it was like.”
"From next year onwards, we can distribute the seeds to the people and let them plant them.
Of course, the prerequisite was that those people and those lands were under Great Qin's control and not under the control of some of the Six Nations.”
"In this way, what will happen to the commoners? What would happen to those nobles who opposed Qin?
What will happen to the soldiers of Great Qin? Think about it?"
Crack.
Wang Ben tried to push his chin up, but his jaw had already fallen off.
"My goodness."
Wang Ben gasped!
"There's actually such a crop in this world?”
"If what Little Che said is true, then wouldn't our hundreds of thousands of brothers in the army be able to eat three full meals a day?”
"Then damn it, I can beat the shit out of those Xiongnu riders!”
Back then, the Great Qin Empire was in a famine, and thousands of miles of people starved to death.
Locust plagues, floods, earthquakes, cold, droughts, these major calamities could happen seven or eight times in ten years.
Great Qin's people would starve for two out of three years.
After the famine, Great Qin would send troops to conquer the six countries and plunder their resources.
Otherwise, they would not be able to survive the next year's famine.
After Great Qin conquered the six countries, there was not a single grain left in Great Qin.
Therefore, even if Qin Shihuang had the intention to fight against the Xiongnu and the Baiyue, there was no food in the official warehouse for them to fight again.
Now that they had these grains, if the Xiongnu Baiyue dared to show their teeth to Great Qin again, they would be able to obtain a huge amount of grain.
Wang Ben was confident that the soldiers of Great Qin would once again fight to the death and destroy the Xiongnu!
That was why Wang Ben was so excited when he heard about it before he even saw the real thing.
Meng Yi's thoughts were,
As expected.
As expected, the Thirteenth Young Master already had a countermeasure.
However, he had never expected that the Thirteenth Young Master would be able to find food!
Furthermore, there were three species at once!
2000 catties per mu, 4000 catties, 6000 catties?
If what the Thirteenth Young Master said was true,
So,
All the problems could be solved!
Meng Yi's eyes gradually lit up.
"Young Master, if what you said is true, those crops can really reach such a yield.
Even if it was a thousand catties per mu.
"Great Qin will no longer have to worry about food, and the famine that occurs twice every three years will disappear.”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. At this time, he had long forgotten that he was a sour scholar. He no longer spoke arrogantly.
"Moreover, when the people have food, they will be willing to go to the academy to study and work hard to improve.
If people could eat their fill, who would still want to be an ordinary citizen in the future? They would all want to advance further!”
"At that time, we can fully implement our plan to eliminate all schools of thought and only worship Confucianism!”
"Young Master, do you agree with what I said?"
Meng Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at Ying Che with excitement. He really wanted confirmation.
It was like a kindergarten kid who wanted to get a little red flower from his teacher.
However…
Ying Che glanced at him and ignored him. He looked at the two prime ministers.
"What do you guys think?"
Li Si thought of more and asked,"
"Young Master, did you already have these seeds when you first met me?”
Before Ying Che could answer, Li Si had already thought of an affirmative answer.
"It must be!"
"No wonder at that time, you only proposed an emergency plan to force the nobles to open their granaries and solve the problem of this year's food crisis!”
"So you knew that there would be a large amount of food produced in three months.”
"At that time, even if the nobles have a countermeasure and no longer open the granaries to release grain, we will still have enough food to deal with it.”
"And this year will be the last chance for those anti-Qin nobles to rise up.”
"Because next year, no, even this autumn.”
"When we have a large harvest.”
"At that time, our army was strong, and every family had surplus grain and new grain!”
"On the other hand, those anti-Qin people can only eat old grain and old grain. They can't even eat a full meal a day.”
"At that time, what will they use to retaliate?”
"In the future, with the implementation of the perfect system set by Young Master.”
"Great Qin will only grow stronger and stronger!”
Li Si bowed deeply at Ying Che."
"Young Master, I thought you were a peerless talent the first time we met.”
"Now it seems that I was still too shallow.”
"Young Master's foresight and ability to govern the country are beyond Li Si's imagination!”
"Young Master, could it be that an immortal has descended to the mortal world to save Great Qin?”
Li Si bent down and asked seriously.
In his heart, this was no longer something that mortals could do. It was an immortal!
Feng Quji was similar. After hearing Ying Che's words today,
He connected many things from the beginning to the end.
"Young Master, your 500 Quyuan Plow is for the sowing of the first batch of seeds, right?”
"Then, the tens of thousands of curved plows and the civilian laborers to find farm manure are for the second type of large-scale planting of 700,000 people?”
Thinking of this, Feng Quji's eyes were filled with doubt. His expression was solemn as he quickly asked,
"No! " Young Master, the three crops you mentioned earlier, 2000 jin, 4000 jin, 6000 jin per mu, are you talking about before or after using the manure?"”
"Before." Ying Che smiled. (The seeds given by the system are of the best varieties. They can grow so much without fertilizer.)）
"Ah?" "What?" "My goodness!"
Feng Quji, Li Si, and Meng Yi exclaimed again!
"Doesn't that mean that with the use of farmyard manure, the harvest can be doubled?”
"Reaching 4000 jin, 8000 jin, 12,000 jin?”
Feng Quji asked the same question.
Ying Che smiled and shook his head,"How can I count it like that? It's not that much." However, it would be fine if it could grow a little. It also depended on the farming method, whether they were diligent in their management, the harvest, the weather, and other factors.”
"But what you said just now, doubling is the maximum that can be achieved in theory. Normally speaking, if you can increase it by 50%, you will be considered an extremely strong farmer.”
Could the production really continue to grow?!!!
Oh my god!
The three of them opened their mouths again, unable to speak.
"What, what, what?"
"What do you mean? Explain to Old Wang!”
"What farm manure, what bent shaft plow, what doubling?”
Old Wang was extremely anxious at the side. He did not understand!
At this moment, the three of them were calculating how much food they could receive this year. How could they have the time to deal with this boorish old man?
Ying Che smiled and explained,
"Old Wang, that day when you were moving rocks on the mountain and secretly returning to the military camp to make ice, I called the three of them over and told them about the bent shaft plow and the plowing.”
"This curved plow and farm manure, it's %$#@%..."
After saying this,
Wang Ben's jaw dropped.
Was there such a magical thing in this world?
My Wang's feces can also make crops grow better?
Is my butt that amazing?
The next moment, Ying Che sent Wang Ben a soul question,
"Old Wang, I called you over because I recently discovered that someone was spying on my first batch of seeds.”
"Who is it? Who was it? He dares!" Wang Ben was enraged.
"Therefore, I hope that you can send an army to surround the farmland three miles away. This item is not ripe yet, so I hope that he can keep it a secret.”
"Surround! We have to!" Old Wang was excited, but on second thought, he said,
That's not right. This is the First Emperor's army. Without the Tiger Tally, he can't move his troops.
Then, Old Wang scratched his head and said,"Thirteenth Young Master, do you have a Tiger Tally?" This, without the Tiger Tally, if I, Old Wang, listen to you and take action…
That means I'm standing on your side. This Wang family is going to be stabbed in the back!”
Ying Che shook his head,"There's no Tiger Tally." However, we can consider it a deal.”
"If your army manages to do this flawlessly, I'm afraid that you'll be able to do it.
After this is done, I can give you 1000 catties of refined salt or 500 catties of seeds for each of the three crops.
How was it? Choose one yourself?"
A thousand catties of refined salt!
500 catties of seeds for each of the three crops!!!
Lao Wang was instantly immersed in happiness and worry.
