Daqin: Ying Zheng Works for Me

The meeting is over.

Ying Zheng ordered businessmen from all over the world to enter Xianyang to promote potatoes and sweet potatoes!

At the same time, the news about potatoes and sweet potatoes was spread out in an instant, and then it began to spread wildly in all directions at an alarming speed, even more widely than the previous papermaking and printing.

The foundation of a country is the people.

People take food as their heaven.

Faced with this news, no one is not excited, no one is not shocked.

For a while, even the hundred schools of thought who were preparing to enter Xianyang stopped.

They want to study what the potatoes and sweet potatoes are.

There are discussions all over the world.

"Have you heard? The farmer Gu Shen has researched two crops this time, potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are new crops for grain cultivation. This kind of thing does not require land to be cultivated, and the yield per mu is extremely high!

"How much?" Someone wondered.

“One acre can yield three thousand catties of grain!!!”

"what?!"

Such conversations are repeated all over the world.

Everyone who heard the news had a trace of shock and doubt on their faces.

how is this possible?!

No one dared to believe this, because it was too exaggerated.

Today, the best grain crops in Daqin, combined with the best fields, are at most three or five hundred catties per mu of 173, right?

But what about this?!

Directly increased tenfold.

Only after repeated verification, everyone knows that the news of potatoes and sweet potatoes is true.

This also made the rumors that Zulong died and the land divided and Daqin was about to fall, which was widely spread before. In an instant, no one paid any attention to it. Instead, they all wanted sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Unfortunately.

Even if Ceres has grown a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

There are more grains harvested than before, but it is impossible to spread it out completely.

No one has even seen Xianyang.

Everything is cultivated in an orderly manner in the Shennong Valley of Shanglin Garden.

Ying Zheng promised that the children of the peasant family could be officials, and they could even obtain titles.

It made them all excited, and now they are staring at the potatoes day and night.

Just waiting for the potatoes and sweet potatoes to be fully cultivated in sufficient numbers, so that they can go down to Daqin County to teach the people how to plant them.

Just when everyone was excited and shocked.

The Four Seas Return to One Hall.

Ying Zheng's expression was extremely solemn. He looked at Wang Wan, Wang debt, and Meng Yi in front of him, and (bbci) asked in a deep voice, "Why is my Daqin's harvest so poor this year!"

It is now mid-June.

Da Qin's harvest report has just arrived.

What makes Ying Zheng shocking is that this time the harvest is outrageous.

It can even be said to be appalling.

And the most important thing is that there is not much grain left in the three major granaries of Daqin!

"Why is the granary so empty?!" Ying Zheng was furious.

This was also the first time he was furious after he got the system, even if it was Zhao Gao's betrayal.

Mainly because he was just about to cast the fairy tale.

People are united and ready to move forward in great strides.

The results of it?

The reality directly gave him a blow to the head, making Ying Zheng not angry.

Even Su Qing frowned, he didn't expect the situation in Daqin to be so bad, not to mention the sluggish harvest this year, but the problem is that two of the three major granaries are empty?!

That's the big problem.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes came out, but it was impossible to solve the Daqin problem so quickly.

"Report to Your Majesty." Wang Wan stood up. He used to be the prime minister of Da Qin, but now he is one of the nine ministers even if he is not the prime minister.

Today's official position is to treat Su Nei Shi, and he can also be called Da Si Nong.

The main responsibility is to manage the national finances.

Naturally, he is also in charge of the grain storage.

It can be said that he is the logistics housekeeper of Da Qin.

"The three granaries were not full as early as when the world was unified, and after the domination of the world, the population of Daqin increased sharply, but the corresponding consumption was even greater." Wang Wan said in a condensed voice.

Before that, potatoes and sweet potatoes came out.

The happiest person is actually him.

Finally, you don't have to worry about food every day.

"I know about this, but why hasn't it changed over the years, and now the Longxi warehouse is almost empty?" Ying Zheng's face was still ugly. Before that, the granary in Qidi in Shandong was already empty, and Bashu was always full. place.

But Longxi is not bad.

This is the largest granary in Guanzhong, and the land in Guanzhong is not much worse than that of Bashu.

As for Wang Wan's words, it is not a reason at all. The surge in population must be accompanied by a surge in production.

"This..." Wang Wan hesitated.

On the contrary, Meng Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is because of the problems of labor and corvée, so that the people do not have enough labor."

Wang Wan didn't dare to say this.

Because Wang Wan's status in Ying Zheng's heart is not enough.

It was also because he was timid and afraid of angering Ying Zheng.

But Meng Yi was not afraid.

"Labor..." Ying Zheng fell silent for a moment.

He knew why this happened.

In the final analysis, Daqin needed to do too much in these years, building the Great Wall.

Build gallops and straights.

Plus Lishan Mausoleum.

It can be said that these add up to at least two million labor.

How many people does Daqin have now?!

But thirty million!!!

Su Qing also instantly understood that this was Qin Lu's problem.

If it weren't for the strict laws of Qin, they would not have been sentenced to labor servitude and driven to construction.

At the same time, Ying Zheng has his own problems.

He wants to do things too much.

The car is on the same track, and the book is on the same text.

It seems simple, but building roads has been a very labor-intensive thing since ancient times.

For example, Yang Guang built the Grand Canal!

"Your Majesty, now there are potatoes and sweet potatoes. According to what the God of Gu said, in less than two years, Daqin will no longer be short of grain. 55 Wang Wan said quickly, "The reserves of the Bashu warehouse are enough to support it. "

Hear this.

Su Qing instantly thought of a terrible thing.

He quickly reminded: "Host, in the past five years, all of them have been in the Little Ice Age, the temperature will drop significantly, and the planting yield will drop sharply."

As soon as the words came out.

Ying Zheng was shocked, he just thought about doing it.

But Su Qing's words made him panic.

Although I don't understand what the Little Ice Age means, I can understand the following words.

If it drops sharply, then with the current harvest, Daqin will inevitably have a big problem!

The people of the world will not be able to eat enough, even the three armies of the Great Qin Dynasty will be hungry. At that time, the whole world will be short of food, and the price of food will skyrocket...

Everything Ying Zheng has done before will become useless in an instant!

Even if energy points can be used to speed up the maturation cycle, 100,000 energy points can speed up the maturation of twenty catties of grain seeds.

If ripening produces enough seeds to supply the world.

How many energy points does that require?!!!.
