Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

With these labor forces from other races, the pressure on Yingzheng has been greatly reduced during this period, and he has even begun to slowly expand the scale of factories in various places.

Ying Zheng, who was in a good mood, naturally wanted to share this good news with Zhao Che.

"Cher, good news!"

"Father, is it done?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's happy face, Zhao Che knew why he was happy.

"That's right, now Daqin has a labor force of thousands of people out of thin air, and the progress of our factory construction, road and school construction is greatly improved."

"That's good, I happen to have some good news to tell you too."

Zhao Che had expected this result a long time ago, so his emotions naturally did not fluctuate.

"What good news?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Father, come with me!"

Zhao Che greeted, Yuhuatian quickly prepared the tricycle, drove Yingzheng and others out of the house, and drove all the way to the field.

"Is this the direction to the greenhouse? Could it be that Che'er, you have planted some new crops?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"It's not crops, it's animals. You'll understand when you see it later!"

Zhao Che chuckled, and soon the tricycle arrived.

When Ying Zheng got out of the car, what he saw was a fully enclosed shed, and there were humming sounds inside, which sounded very familiar.

"Young master, is it in here?"

Meng Yi had a guess in his heart.

"Go in and have a look!"

Hearing Zhao Che's words, Ying Zheng and the others looked at each other and walked into the shed.

"Young master, you actually raised locusts artificially?"

Meng Yi was shocked when he saw the scene inside.

Because inside, there are locust larvae crawling everywhere on the ground, trees, and shelves, densely packed, and it looks very disgusting.

Looking at these locusts, Meng Yi felt that his intensive phobia was about to strike, and couldn't help but turn pale for a while.

"These locusts are good things. Although they look disgusting now, they will be a delicacy when they are ripe. What's more, they are also a big killer for us to deal with the Huns!"

Zhao Che said with a light smile.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with Donghu, Daqin's purpose has never changed, and it is to completely eliminate the Xiongnu.

Even for this reason, Yingzheng has secretly cultivated countless caravans, asking them to use the weapons returned by Daqin to trade grain with the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu haven't found any abnormalities for the time being, mainly because for them, the importance of these weapons is definitely far more than food.

Because the food has been traded, they can still grow it by themselves, and now that they have Daqin's advanced weapons, they don't even need to grow it, they just grab it back from Daqin.

It's a pity that they never imagined that Daqin's weapons had been updated long ago, and those bronze weapons in the past are now piled up in the armory.

Those Huns still took these weapons as treasures, and were even willing to exchange their own living food for these weapons.

Little did he know that he fell into Daqin's trap step by step.

"Young Master is right. These locusts are the weapons we use to deal with the Xiongnu!"

After Meng Yi figured it out, the way he looked at these locusts also changed.

"Actually, apart from this locust, I have two other good things."

"Oh? What baby?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Food and medicine!"

"Food? Medicine?"

Ying Zheng became excited when he heard this.

These two things are strategic materials, and what can be said from Zhao Che's mouth is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"Tell me quickly, what are these food and medicine?"

Zhao Che didn't hold back and told Ying Zheng directly.

"Food is hybrid rice, and medicine is a cure for sores!"

"Hybrid rice? Golden sore medicine?"

Ying Zheng was obviously puzzled when he heard these two unfamiliar words.

"This hybrid rice is actually the main crop in South Vietnam. Rice is bred and improved. It has a very high yield, even better than sweet potatoes!"

"And the golden sore medicine is the kind of medicine that Yuhuatian gave Zhang Han to stop bleeding when you were assassinated before. Putting it on the battlefield, it has a great healing effect on the wounds of the soldiers."

……

"Is what you said true?"

After Ying Zheng heard this, he became excited all of a sudden.

Especially the hybrid rice, which made him a little unbelievable.

After all, in the eyes of Ying Zheng and the others, potatoes and sweet potatoes are already considered sacred crops.

What is the concept of producing thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties per mu, but now Zhao Che said that this hybrid rice is more powerful than potatoes and sweet potatoes. This must be the legendary fairy food that can do it, right?
"Of course it is true. It's just that this hybrid rice is not suitable for growing in our northwest climate, and the formula for the golden sore medicine is mainly in South Vietnam."

After Zhao Che finished speaking, Ying Zheng finally understood.

Before Zhao Che said that he would vigorously develop the land of South Vietnam, it seems that the hybrid rice and golden sore medicine are the first step in the development there.

It's okay to talk about golden sore medicine, but if this hybrid rice is really that powerful, then Nanyue will become the granary of Daqin in the future.

"Che'er, what is the yield per mu of hybrid rice?"

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng decided to confirm it with Zhao Che first, so that after going back, he could convince the officials in the court, right?

"Father, the maximum yield per mu of hybrid rice can be more than [-] jin, and the climate in the south is warm, so it can be grown up to three seasons a year."

Zhao Che converted according to the measurement unit of the Qin Dynasty, and gave a similar figure.

"Only four thousand catties?"

Yingzheng was stunned for a moment. The yield of potatoes per mu was more than 6000 catties, and the yield of sweet potatoes was almost [-] catties.

This hybrid rice, in terms of yield, seems to be far inferior to these two crops.

Then why did Zhao Che say that this hybrid rice is more powerful than potatoes and sweet potatoes?

With such doubts, Ying Zheng also asked this question.

"Dad, although potatoes and sweet potatoes have high yields, as I said before, these two crops cannot be used as the main source of food, but hybrid rice is different. This is the real staple food."

"You mean, is this hybrid rice the same as wheat millet, is it real food?"

"Yes, this kind of rice is the main food in South Vietnam. You should have heard of it, Dad, but their rice yield per mu is very low."

"I see!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is indeed high, and they can also be used as food to satisfy hunger.

But as Zhao Che said, potatoes and sweet potatoes are not serious food.

When the heads of Guizhou were hit by a disaster, or they couldn't afford to eat, it was okay to use sweet potatoes and potatoes instead.

But this thing can't replace the status of wheat and millet after all, so even if Yingzheng promotes sweet potatoes and potatoes on a large scale this year, the most important crop in Daqin is still wheat and millet.

Needless to say, the output of wheat millet is high, and the heads of Guizhou in Daqin would not have to starve every year.

If the yield of hybrid rice is compared with that of wheat and millet, it is really worthy of the name of fairy grain.

"How long will it take for this hybrid rice to spread in South Vietnam?"
