Daqin: I Want to Be a Powerful Minister, but the First Emperor Actually Passed The Throne to Me

Under the scorching eyes of the three old Zhaos, Zhao Yu wrote down the method of papermaking, and then handed it to Meng Yi.

Looking at the eyes of the three, Zhao Yu explained: "This is the method of papermaking, you can ask someone to pass it on to Your Majesty."

"If Your Majesty can popularize the art of papermaking, the strategy will be half successful."

Zhao Yu turned his back and said, "Paper-making is popular in the world, and it will definitely be loved and appreciated by scholars! And it's not enough that His Majesty has the support of these literate people."

After a pause, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly became deep at this moment, "Qin Shihuang can make the artisans of the whole country cast thousands of Zulong statues while popularizing the papermaking technique! For generations to come, the people will surely praise His Majesty day and night! "

"From now on, the people of Da Qin have only one belief, and that is Qin Shi Huang!" Zhao Yu said solemnly.

Hearing this, the three of Lao Zhao held their breaths, and instantly understood the meaning of Zhao Yu's words!

Maybe ordinary people are different, why does this condense the soul of the Great Qin army!

But Qin Shihuang, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, these are the three giants of the Qin Dynasty!

The three of them knew very well in their hearts the extent to which the ancient people were obsessed with superstition.

If the whole world builds a statue of His Majesty and makes His Majesty the only belief in Da Qin, the Qin army's military soul will surely condense to an impeccable level!

Even if Zulong dies, this belief will not dissipate with time!

After the three of Lao Zhao lost their minds for a short time, they quickly stabilized their minds.

In Zhao Yu's eyes, the three of Lao Zhao are still just ordinary businessmen who are naive.

After eating the stewed chicken with potatoes, the fried eggs with leeks were also cleaned by several people.

In Daqin, there is no such thing as cooking. Even Qin Shihuang has never eaten such delicious food.

Especially the potato... The fragrant glutinous rice is delicious and the aftertaste is endless.

Just when the three giants of Daqin were still thinking about the yield of potatoes, a crunching sound suddenly came from their ears.

The three of them looked over to the prestige, only to see Zhao Yu holding a red potato-like fruit in his hand, nibbling on it in his mouth.

Seeing Zhao Yu eating with relish, Lao Zhao also swallowed his saliva with a look of anticipation.

"Lao Yu, what are you eating?" Qin Shihuang asked curiously.

Zhao Yu ate most of it in one go and replied, "This is a sweet potato."

When Meng Yi heard this, he pointed to the potatoes in the pot just now with his finger, and asked, "What did you eat just now?"

"That's a potato." Zhao Yu replied casually, the sweet potato in his mouth was almost finished!

Seeing that the three of them were greedy, Zhao Yu took out three sweet potatoes and threw them to them.

Qin Shihuang quickly took a bite, the sweet sweet potato taste shocked Qin Shihuang!

This sweet potato is sweet and full of weight, and even two or three sweet potatoes can fill you up!

Zhao Yu saw the performance of the three people in his eyes, and also knew the importance of food to the ancients.

Qin Wangzheng is three years old, and he is hungry!

In the fourth year of King Qin's administration, locusts came from the east!

In the seventh year of King Qin's administration, the fish in the river became big, and the horses ate them with light carts!

In the 12th year of King Qin's administration, the world suffered a severe drought!

History records that in just 18 years, Qin State experienced three major famines, one plague of locusts, two major earthquakes, and two cold waves!

Natural disasters occurred frequently. In addition to the grain output of Qin, the yield per mu was only 200 catties.

This makes the lives of the common people miserable, and the number of people who starve to death is unknown!

And this sweet potato was introduced into China in 1513 by Western missionaries at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After it was launched, it was quickly promoted to the whole country because of the production volume!

Lao Zhao took a deep breath, put down the half-eaten sweet potato in his hand, and asked Zhao Yu, "Lao Yu, what is the yield of this sweet potato?"

"Five thousand catties per mu." Zhao Yu replied casually.

hiss!

The voice stood up, and Pharaoh immediately became excited.

If the sweet potato is fruity, the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties.

Destroying the Huns is just around the corner!

You must know that there are 300,000 Chen soldiers of the Great Qin and Longxi County on the border of the Huns.

But it's not just about defense.

Hu did not dare to go south to herd horses, and soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain!

Historically, until Meng Tian was given death, and the 300,000 Great Wall Army was transferred away.

Only then did the Huns regain their vitality!

Qin Shihuang couldn't help but look at the sweet potato in his hand, which was quite shocking!

If this sweet potato really yields 5,000 catties per mu, then there will be no more hungry people in Daqin!

After a pause, Qin Shihuang looked at the potatoes that tasted more delicious than sweet potatoes, and asked Zhao Yu, "How about the yield per mu of potatoes?"

"Two thousand catties." Zhao Yu blurted out the answer.

As a later agricultural professor, Zhao Yu is very clear about the per mu yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes!

In later generations, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is generally about four or five thousand catties in summer, and about six thousand catties per mu in spring.

And potatoes, depending on the climate of the region, can be planted for one season or two seasons, and the average yield per mu is between 2,000 catties and 3,000 catties.

The soil in the Qin Dynasty was not over-exploited and was full of fertility. Zhao Yu estimated that the yield would have to double.

Moreover, this is a seed given by the system, and I don't know if it has been systematically improved and whether it is more suitable for planting in this era.

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian, ​​the three giants of the Qin Dynasty were completely stunned!

This f*ck is a few thousand catties at every turn. Could it be that this grain really jumped out of the soil?

But in the land of the Central Plains, where the people rest at sunset and work at sunrise, such crops have never been found?

And Lao Wang was even more shocked and directly crushed the bowl in his hand, without knowing it!

The chopsticks in Lao Meng's hand snapped and fell to the ground, still trembling all over!

Only Lao Zhao was still normal, and he couldn't wait to pull Zhao Yu and said, "Old Yu, hurry up, take us to see and verify the yield of these two crops."

After all, seeing is believing, Qin Shihuang tried his best to restrain the shock in his heart and asked Zhao Yu.

Looking at the shocked appearance of the three, Zhao Yu could also understand the ancients' desire for food. The performance of the three was actually expected by Zhao Yu.

"Let's go." At this moment, the sweet potatoes and potatoes are not ripe, but it is not a big deal to take these two to verify.

Seeing that Qin Shihuang followed Zhao Yu, Wang Jian and Meng Yi, who were still in a daze, immediately followed. *
