Daqin: Zulong Overheard My Rebellion Plan

Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Wang Ying, his eyes were full of shock.

How did Yinger's brain grow?

How many good things does he have that can make Da Qin develop by leaps and bounds?

[Oops, brother Zheng's death stare. 】

[Well, I'd better take the initiative. 】

Wang Ying said warmly: "This stone roller is a kind of utensil that Ben Hou researched unintentionally."

"The Marquis first built 20 and placed them here. One is to facilitate the use of the workshop workers, and the other is to verify whether this thing is easy to use."

Wang Ying's smile turned bright.

"After half a month of verification, Ben Hou found that this stone roller is not only useful, but its usefulness has far exceeded Ben Hou's expectations!"

"After the autumn harvest, Ben Hou will pass on the method of making stone rollers to the hands of agricultural supervisors in various places, so that they can find huge stones nearby and make stone rollers to ease the hard work of the head of Guizhou.

Hearing this, the Japanese courtiers couldn't help becoming more excited.

"The craftsmanship of the Marquis of Chang'an can be said to be close to Taoism!"

"It's in vain that I lamented that Marquis Chang'an was obsessed with craftsmanship in the past, but I didn't know that Marquis Chang'an's study of craftsmanship was actually for farming!"

"The Shaofu will definitely cooperate with the Marquis of Chang'an in the matter of carving and grinding stones!"

"Until next year, at the latest the year after, maybe I, the head of Qin and Guizhou, will no longer need to work hard to pound rice!"

Wang Ying smiled and cupped his hands: "My colleagues are very impressed."

"Your Majesty, I am here today to deal with the matter of sweet potatoes, please move on, Your Majesty."

【Hurry up and leave after reading it!】

【Although I didn't put anything new here, maybe I don't care if one thing in 987 is a good thing that can surprise all the officials?】

【Even if those things are released, it won’t affect my rebellion, but I still feel bad!】

Ying Zheng looked a little ugly.

What do you mean that you don't care about something that will surprise all the officials?

What do you think of me and your beloved ministers?

Beggar!

But Ying Zheng had to admit that what Wang Ying said was not an exaggeration.

Just like this stone roller, in Wang Ying's view, it is just a small gadget for transition.

But to Daqin, it means a lot!

Unable to refute, Ying Zheng became more and more annoyed, and couldn't help but give Wang Ying a hard look.

There are good things that are still hidden. Could it be that I will let you suffer?

"The Marquis of Chang'an has developed a stone mill this time to bring convenience to the people of the Great Qin Dynasty. This is a great act of kindness."

"I will definitely reward you generously!"

Wang Ying hurriedly cupped his hands: "My minister, thank you Your Majesty."

【What else can Brother Zheng offer me now?】

【money?】

[My gold curry has more money than the national curry. 】

【Nobility?】

【Nineteen-year-old Marquis of Guannei is already scary enough, so can you make me a Marquis of Che again?】

【manor?】

【You think I care about that small piece of land? What I want is the whole world!】

[It's obviously not rare, but I have to pretend to be excited. 】(ahef)

【So tired, good daughter-in-law resigned!】

Ying Zheng:???

I am speechless!

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and waved his sleeves.

"What exactly does Ai Qing want to do with sweet potatoes?"

"Hurry up!"

【Hey, are you still in a hurry?】

【If you hadn't changed the subject to ask about the efficiency of millet milling, why would it take so long?】

Cursed in her heart, Wang Ying smiled and cupped her hands: "Obey!"

Taking two steps forward, Wang Ying pointed to a group of farmers who were sorting sweet potatoes.

"Your Majesty, my servant Shilling the farmer to pick out the sweet potatoes, clean them and chop them into pieces.

"Then put it into this stone mill."

"Ten catties of sweet potatoes can be ground into pulp weighing seven or eight catties.

While speaking, Wang Ying walked forward.

"The ground pulp will be poured into a wooden basin, then poured in a large amount of clean water, kneaded repeatedly, and then put into linen for a filter."

"After filtering, the pulp will be put into a large tripod, and after standing overnight, the floating water on it will be poured out, and then it will be dried for ten days.

While speaking, the lid of the pottery jar revealed the powder inside.

"After this step, we will be able to get this item."

"Weichen called it sweet potato starch."

Ying Zheng picked up a handful of sweet potato starch from the jar, and asked straight to the point, "How long can this stuff be kept?"

Wang Ying said without hesitation: "It depends on the region."

"The drier the place, the longer it can be stored."

"If grain depots are built in inland places far away from big rivers, such as Pinyang Township, for proper preservation, sweet potato starch can be preserved for five years."

Ying Zheng exclaimed in astonishment, "How long?"

"Five years?"

Wang Ying smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's the Five Armies!"

Yan Zhengchu and the others were all in an uproar.

"Corn can only be stored for two years, but sweet potatoes that have been treated in this way can be stored for five years?"

"The shortcoming of sweet potatoes is just that the storage time is too short. Now the Marquis of Chang'an has not only solved this shortcoming, but also turned this shortcoming into a good point?"

"If it can be stored for five years, this sweet potato will definitely be something for war!"

"Why are you feeding sweet potatoes to pigs? Make them into sweet potato starch and store them!"

They thought that the shock they received today could make them harden their hearts, and nothing else would shock them.

But now, Wang Ying once again shocked their hearts.

Wang Ying hurriedly said: "My colleagues, it's not because I don't want to make all the sweet potatoes into sweet potato starch, but because the time is too late.

"Whether it's building more stone mills or processing sweet potatoes, it takes a lot of time."

"According to Ben Hou's calculations, even if I, Daqin, try my best to make stone mills, we can only turn 300 million stone sweet potatoes into sweet potato starch at most."

"The remaining 600 million stones of sweet potatoes still need to be fed to pigs."

Yan Zhengchu and the others couldn't help feeling a little helpless when they heard the words, but they still nodded in understanding.

If Wang Ying showed the sweet potato starch first, they would not allow Wang Ying to feed the sweet potato to the pigs even if they enlisted All People to make stone mills and make sweet potato starch.

But now they have already accepted the plan of exchanging sweet potatoes for pork, and now there is no such strong resistance.

Ying Zheng squeezed the sweet potato starch in his hand, and asked curiously: "Marquis Chang'an, how should I eat this sweet potato starch?"

"This thing is so loose, I'm afraid it can't be baked with fire, it can only be stewed with water."

"Is it possible to drink thick soup after stewing?"

【Besides roasting and boiling, can't you have some other pursuits?】

【Anyway, you are also the one who came to Wuchenghou's mansion for so many meals!】

Wang Ying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I also ate sweet potato starch stewed in water at the beginning, but the taste was not very good.

"That's why Wei Chen has done some more steps."

"Your Majesty, please continue to move forward with my minister."

After walking a few steps forward, Ying Zheng saw several strong men pouring water into a large vat filled with sweet potato starch, and several of them worked together to knead it together.

The sweet potato starch that was kneaded vigorously turned into sweet potato dough, and another strong man put it into a spoon with a hole at the bottom, and beat it continuously.

Following the strength of the palm, the sweet potato noodles flow into the hot pot under the spoon in strips, and are stewed and shaped.

Wang Ying laughed and shouted.

"Sun Gong, bring a hundred bowls of sour soup and sweet potato noodles!"

The man who was beating the dough looked up following the sound, and then grinned.

"Master Hou is here? Please be well!"

Only then did Wang Ying look at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the stewed stuff, I call it sweet potato powder, can be eaten directly."

"At the same time, you can also set it in cold water and hang it to dry.

"In this way, the sweet potato powder can be stored for two years, and it can be cooked anytime, and the taste is different from eating it directly.

"Your Majesty please move"

Before Wang Ying could lead Ying Zheng to the main hall, Sun Gong had already walked over with a wooden tray and several pottery bowls.

"Your Majesty, Lord Marquis."

"Sweet potato powder in sour soup, please use!"

Taking the pottery bowl from Sun Gong, Ying Zheng sniffed the smell of sweet potato powder in the bowl deeply, and couldn't help murmuring.

"It's delicious!"

This aroma is due to the taste of Qin Bu!
