Da Qin: Give Ancestral Dragon the elixir of death at the beginning!

Ying Zheng looked at the sack in He Chao's hand and looked confused, frowned and asked:

"What did you say, son-in-law? Did you get vegetables?"

Li Si and Meng Tian also showed stunned expressions on their faces,

He Chao actually carried a sack of vegetables into the palace, which is really rare.

He Chao nodded disappreciatively,

It seems to be telling a very normal little thing:

"yes, didn't I tell you to grow your own vegetables?

Now that the vegetables are ripe, I will bring a little into the palace for you to taste. "

When Ying Zheng and the others heard this, their faces showed shocked expressions.

He Chao actually grew vegetables in winter?

How the hell did he do it?

He Chao ignored everyone's shocked reactions,

Directly took out a large handful of delicate greens from the sack,

shook it in front of Ying Zheng and said:

"Father-in-law, you look at how tender the greens are, when you came back last time,

Didn't you bring back a set of hot pot tools and ingredients from my cottage?"

"Now that I've brought the dishes, let's eat hot pot. "

Ying Zheng was directly shocked when he saw a handful of vegetables that He Chao took out.

Although he is the emperor of Great Qin,

But in the winter, I can't eat vegetables a few times a month.

He Chao's life is more luxurious than him!

Li Si and Meng Tian on the side,

Seeing the tender vegetables in He Chao's hands, he couldn't help but swallow this saliva.

Although they are high-ranking officials of Great Qin, they haven't tasted this vegetable for a long time.

I miss the taste of this vegetable very much.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to really grow vegetables, and today I have a good mouth. "

After a slight shock, Ying Zheng's face was overjoyed,

Hurriedly asked the eunuch to bring back the hot pot tools he brought back last time, and prepared to eat hot pot together.

Soon, the eunuch and the palace maid moved the hot pot tools out,

washed the vegetables He Chao brought again, and then chatted while eating.

Seeing the greens, cucumbers, leeks, Kunlun purple melons and other vegetables on the table,

Ying Zheng and the others were still a little shocked.

These vegetables are all bright in color, huge and full,

If it's usually just ordinary food

But in winter, it is a very precious food.

Most importantly,

He Chao also took out so much at once, what a big deal.

After that, several people chatted while eating while shabu-shabu vegetables.

Ying Zheng ate a piece of ripe Kunlun purple melon, and his eyes were shining.

nodded appreciatively, looked up at He Chao on the side and asked:

"Virtuous son-in-law, I just got a secret report,

The cattle and sheep on the Huns' side have frozen to death six or seven percent,

Facing a food shortage soon, what do you plan to do next?"

He Chao was ready for a long time, and replied freely:

"Father-in-law, the first batch of steel from the steel mill has been produced,

Now the production of horseshoes, armor and other military equipment is being stepped up. "

"There are also sweet potatoes that are growing very well, and they will ripen in a week at most. "

Ying Zheng nodded,

Everything went according to their plan, and he had nothing to worry about.

At this time, He Chao continued to add with an excited look on his face;

"In order to defeat the Huns with one blow, I also prepared a big killing weapon for the Huns. "

"What kind of big killer?"

Hearing that He Chao had also prepared a big killing weapon for the Huns, Ying Zheng and the others were all bright in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the gunpowder I invented in the cottage?

To be on the safe side, I've secretly sent people to vigorously produce gunpowder and make powerful explosive packs!"

"When the time comes, these explosives bags will be ambushed on the way south of the Huns,

It will definitely be able to blow up the flesh and blood of the Huns, and cause heavy damage!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"I have seen the power of this gunpowder,

If it is used on the battlefield, it is indeed a big killer. "

Ying Zheng nodded frequently after hearing this, and his face was full of approval.

Li Si and Meng Tian were also excited when they heard it,

In this way, the chances of winning against the Huns this time are one more point.

He Chao was also a little excited, and continued to preach:

"When the time comes, we will have food, grass, weapons and armor, and when this heavy snow stops,

The Huns can't get by, and they will definitely attack

Our side can directly send an army to wait for work, and set up an ambush on the way south of the Xiongnu.

Then take the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"Everything is ready now, now wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen!"

"Haha, yes, yes!"

"I can already predict the defeat of the Huns!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng stood up excitedly and said with excitement on his face.

After speaking, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, virtuous son-in-law, I don't know how much sweet potatoes have been produced this time that has been popularized nationwide?"

He Chao touched his chin and estimated in his heart,

After coming up with a figure, he spoke:

"The yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes per mu is at least sixty stones,

According to the current cultivated land area of my Great Qin, it is best to have 60 million stones!"

"It's almost the sum of the rations of my Daqin people for ten years. "

One harvest is equivalent to ten years of rations for the people of Daqin?

As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng and the others almost sat on the ground in shock!

This harvest completely subverted their imagination!

For a while, the faces of the three of them showed ecstasy,

There are even more turbulent waves in my heart,

I am looking forward to the sweet potatoes that are about to be harvested.

After that, a few people chatted while eating,

The hot pot didn't go away until it was dark.

......

The snow never stopped, as if by magic.

Countless people are becoming more and more worried about this heavy snowfall.

This snow disaster is already very serious,

If it continues to go down, they, the common people, will also suffer very serious losses.

But a week later, it snowed heavily for almost a month, but it suddenly stopped.

And after the snow stopped, the sun came out.

The people finally put their minds at ease and no longer have to worry about being afraid.

At this time, the imperial court announced another good news,

When the people learned about it, they were even happier.

That is, the imperial court announced that the sweet potatoes were ripe and could be excavated tomorrow.

For a while, all the Great Qin mobilized and prepared to dig sweet potatoes the next day.

The next day, when it was time to harvest the sweet potatoes,

On the third day, Ying Zheng took hundreds of civil and military officials to the fields in the suburbs to observe the scene.

Yingzheng and they stood on the ridge and looked at it,

As far as the eye can see, there are dense sweet potato vines.

Although, it has snowed heavily in Xianyang for nearly a month,

But these sweet potatoes are unusually tenacious,

And in addition to the sunny weather yesterday, the snow has slowly melted.

The sweet potato vines on the field, the current sweet potato potato vines are still standing proudly, green and lush.

Seeing tens of thousands of people standing in the fields waiting, Ying Zheng was also a little excited.

He couldn't wait to see the grand scene of 10,000 people harvesting potatoes.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng ordered Li Si on the side and said:

"Lis, let them dig it!"
