The Heavens: Start A Heavenly Dao Building

Even the food produced in the best fertile fields in Guanzhong is far less than this mysterious potato!

If potatoes were grown in a large area in Daqin, why would Daqin worry about food shortages, and why do so many people starve to death every year?

The Daqin court does not have to worry about food problems!

The people of Daqin are well-clothed, and who else would pin their heads on their waistbands to create a reaction against the government?

Now Daqin is stable!

Chen Qilin was not surprised to see the extremely excited expressions of Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Wang Ben.

In ancient times, productivity was low, coupled with the problem of grain seeding, a family worked hard for a year, and even when the year was good, they might not be able to eat enough.

If you encounter bad years, you will sell your sons and daughters.

In the year of catastrophe, there will even be human tragedies of changing children and eating!

Even in the so-called peaceful and prosperous times in ancient times, such as the rule of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty and the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, some people would starve to death due to insufficient food!

Not to mention, other years of war and famine!

The significance of Chen Qilin's use of potato seeds can be seen.

"Sir, how many potato seeds do you have? Can Daqin cultivate a large area?" Ying Zheng returned to his senses and continued to ask.

If it is only a very small amount of potato seeds, it will not be effective temporarily.

Chen Qilin pointed to the backyard: "Your Majesty, I have 500 stone potato seeds piled in my backyard. You can send someone to carry them back, select good fields for breeding in Guanzhong, and distribute them to the people after the harvest, and promote large-scale planting in Daqin!"

"I thank Mr. Qin for the people of Daqin!!!" Ying Zheng excitedly cupped fist.

"Mr. Yu Wanmin's merits are comparable to Shennong!" Fusu also repeatedly cupped fist.

"Sir, I'm an old man who can't speak, but I think that Mr. is really amazing, he is a great benefactor to the people!" Wang Ben also said sincerely.

Chen Qilin waved his hand:

"Well, you guys don't wear high hats for me!"

Then he picked up the sweet potato and shook it in front of Yingzheng and Fusu.

Ying Zheng curiously asked, "Sir, what is this?"

There was no sweet potato in the pre-Qin period. They didn't know Yingzheng. It was normal.

Sweet potatoes are native to South America and the Big and Little Andres Islands, which are extremely far away from China. They were brought to the Philippines and other countries to be planted by Spanish colonists, and then they were introduced to China during the late stage of the Ming Dynasty.

If Yingzheng and Fusu knew Sweet Potato now, it would be a hell.

Chen Qilin said to Ying Zhengdao:

"Your Majesty, in addition to potatoes, I have also prepared sweet potato seeds for you. The yield of this grain crop is generally up to 3,500 jin per mu, which is about 35 shi.

Sweet potato planting is also very convenient, not picking the ground... Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. The vines on the ground can be used as fodder for pigs, cows, sheep and horses, and the underground rhizomes can be used as food. It is also convenient to store. "

Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Wang Ben became excited once again when they heard what the husband said.

It's another pimple of a fairy family! ! !

The husband is really amazing, he is simply a god alive!

All of a sudden, come up with two big grain seeds that can change a country's national transport!

This is not an exaggeration. The people regard food as their heaven, whoever can make them full is their heaven!

After Ying Zheng has potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin will be as stable as a rock!

Chen Qilin confidently said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the prince, with these potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin's food problem will definitely be completely resolved in the coming year."

"Mr.'s words are extremely true!" Ying Zheng nodded.

Chen Qilin continued: "Now, I will talk to your Majesty about increasing the revenue of the treasury."

"Sir, please enlighten me, I will listen carefully!" Ying Zhenghu said with great expectation.

The husband is simply a god-like existence, and he can always resolve many problems that were originally unsolvable to him.

Fusu and Wang Ben are also looking forward to it!

Chen Qilin raised the materials on the production techniques of cement, glass, and refined salt (sea salt drying process) in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to cooperate with the Daqin court to establish a state-owned enterprise!"

"State-owned enterprise?"

Ying Zheng and Fusu looked dazed.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qilin explained: "It is me who cooperates with your majesty to do business together!"

In Daqin, only Chen Qilin dared to say this!

Doing business with Qin Shihuang, the tone is so big!

"I, I understand!" Ying Zheng understood.

"I wonder if Mr. wants to do business with me?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Chen Qilin said: "At present, I want to run three kinds of businesses with Your Majesty: One is salt!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ben became nervous and couldn't help but squeeze a cold sweat for her husband!

Salt and iron are monopolized by the court!

Starting from Qin Xiaogong's reusing of Shang Yang's reforms in Quliang, Qin learned from Qi Guo's prime minister, Guan Zhong, that he took over the monopoly of salt and iron to the court, which enabled the court to earn a lot of money and become wealthy.

Nowadays, a large part of the income of the Daqin Treasury comes from the salt franchise.

The salt franchise is one of the lifebloods of Daqin's economy, but the husband has put his ideas on this, isn't he looking for death? !

How can a majestic monarch such as Ying Zheng tolerate others watching the salt business? !

"Sir, salt and iron are the royal court's franchise, and the salt business is also an important source of revenue for the treasury. I can't cooperate with your husband!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face disappeared and was replaced by seriousness, shook his head and simply refused.

Although Ying Zheng admires him very much, and he has helped him a lot, he will not betray his national interests because of this.

In addition, Daqin has mastered the salt technology, and there is no need to cooperate with others!

If someone else had said this to Ying Zheng today, he would have told Wang Ben to draw a knife and chop the opponent into meat sauce and destroy the tribe!

It's so bold and lawless, the salt business also wants to get involved!

Fusu hurriedly added: "Sir, salt and iron are one of the lifebloods of the imperial court. My father really cannot cooperate with you. Please forgive me, sir!"

He knew that his husband was very important to Da Qin, and he didn't want the relationship between his husband and his father to become stiff!

The original words were all about this, Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Wang Ben thought that Chen Qilin would retreat and gave up.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qilin took out two small packets and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, first look at the difference between the table salt I made and your Daqin table salt, and it's not too late to make a decision!"

He was not upset, Ying Zheng's reaction was within his expectations.

When Chen Qilin opened the paper bag, he saw a small pile of delicate, white and crystal powder, which was refined salt.

He opened another paper bag, which contained granular materials of different sizes and somewhat mixed colors, which was Daqin's current table salt.

There is no harm without comparison!

The refined salt and Daqin table salt are compared together, and the two are superior to each other.

One is like a virtuous and virtuous lady who is as gentle as a jade, and the other is a village girl with freckles and rough hands...

"This...this is the salt that Mr. boiled?!"

Ying Zheng stared at the Jingyan and said unbelievably.
