Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 20

"Young man, young man!"

Wang Ben ran back with a pile of soil.

Chang Yu, who was cooking, hurriedly scolded: "What do you want to do!"

Is it because you want to add vegetables when you come here with the soil in your arms? !

When he came closer, Chang Yu was surprised to find that there were sweet potato leaves on the pile of soil he was holding.

The First Emperor and Li Si frowned, not knowing what Wang Ben wanted to do.

"Didn't you just say that these things are also edible?"

Wang Ben was very excited and put the pile of soil on the ground, and there will be a lot of fresh sweet potato leaves.

Chang Yu looked at him suspiciously, and Wang Ben explained with a smile: "Just now I went to the fields to look for it."

At least there are tens of acres of land. Although they finished collecting yesterday, they still can't clean it up, right?
So, he went to look for it bit by bit.

Hey guys, there are quite a few!
He didn't know what Chang Yu said, those who could eat and those who couldn't, he simply dug up the soil around the roots.

Just return the whole set and let Chang Yu do it for them to see!

"Are you stupid?"

Hearing his explanation, Chang Yu was immediately dumbfounded.

I've seen stupid ones, but I've never seen such stupid ones, I'm afraid it's not just pretending to act, right? !

"Is the camera on you?"

Chang Yu rushed over and groped all over his body before he could react, but found nothing.

There is no camera, no radio microphone, which means he really doesn't know?

It doesn't make sense!

It's so unreal!

"What camera?"

"Similar to the taro you mentioned?"

"Can I eat it?"

Wang Ben said there in a daze, and Chang Yu didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"All right, all right,"

Now that he had brought back the sweet potato leaves, Chang Yu couldn't say anything and had to clean up seeing Emperor Shi Huang and the three of them staring at each other.

Shake off the soil from the sweet potato leaves.

Pick the sweet potatoes.

The bottom rhizome is edible but bitter, so throw it away.

The sweet potato leaves and rhizomes are divided into two halves and used for stir-frying and soup respectively.

The three of them, Emperor Shihuang, were watching from the sidelines, the kind that never took a step away.

It made Chang Yu look like a monkey in a zoo, no matter what he did, he would be stared at by them.

After finally finishing it, the three of them hurriedly carried the dishes to the dining table, and picked up the dishes without waiting for Chang Yu to sit down.

When I ate the sweet potato leaves for the first time, the taste was not like the wild vegetables I imagined. Instead, it was sweet and salty and very delicious.

Wang Ben was dumbfounded, and so were Shi Huangdi and Li Si.

A sweet potato seed, ripe and harvested.

The resulting sweet potatoes can be eaten.

The grown leaves are edible.

Even the rhizomes are crispy!

One mu can produce at least three thousand catties!
Sweet potatoes can not only be used as food, but also sweet potato leaves can be eaten as vegetables!
If all of them are used, one can imagine how many people can be fed!
"If you want to know about me, Great Qin, that's not true. From before the Six Kingdoms."

We often encounter locust plagues, drought, etc., resulting in no harvest of grain grains planted.

People all over the world often can't eat enough to eat, and they don't even have to chew on the bark when they see it.

Severe droughts, locust plagues, cold seasons, earthquakes, etc., followed one after another, and there was no way to grow food.

During the ten years of King Qin's reign alone, the people all over the world suffered from several famines, which caused many people to emigrate.

Even though the First Emperor led troops to attack the Six Kingdoms and obtained a lot of fertile land, the aftermath of the famine still could not be alleviated.

Fortunately, in the process of unifying the six countries, they also plundered a lot of resources from other countries, which eased this embarrassing situation a lot.

However, fundamentally, it has not been resolved.

The people of Daqin, those who should starve to death will still starve to death, and those who cannot eat will still not be able to eat.

Even if Daqin encourages to increase production, the food grown can't be eaten by itself, so it has to be handed over to the state treasury granary as military food.

Although this desert island is relatively barren, there are only a lot of various crops.

Just like this sweet potato, just one mu can produce several thousand catties, not only the sweet potato can eat the leaves but also the leaves!

If he could leave the deserted island and let Wang Ben call Chang Yu the boss, he would be willing!

Thinking of the excitement, Wang Ben put down the bowl and chopsticks, and knelt down to the bewildered Chang Yu in front of the first emperor.

"Brother Chang Yu, I am the last general, Wang Ben, on behalf of the people of Daqin, and I bow to you."

The first emperor had a complex expression on his face, and he did not stop Wang Ben from kneeling in front of him and worshiping others.

On the contrary, he was very grateful at the moment, and even wanted to thank Chang Yu for his surprise.

The people of Daqin are not afraid of anything, even if they know they will die on the battlefield, they will rush forward without hesitation.

But the only thing is that they are afraid that they will not be able to fill their stomachs. Then they will not have the energy to fight for the country, and they will not be able to plunder the food resources of other countries, and they will have to continue to starve.

The appearance of grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes undoubtedly gave Shi Huang a shot of stimulants.

If you can promote planting in Daqin, I believe that with these grain output values, Daqin will definitely be able to get rid of the lack of resources in one fell swoop.

At that time, when the army rations can be supplied, we will not be afraid of foreign enemies, let alone internal troubles, and we can continue to attack large areas of the world!

"As the saying goes, writing is better than military strategy is the foundation of governing a country."

"As everyone knows, having enough food is the root of a country."

If a country cannot even provide food, then how can it convince the public?
At this time, another country appeared, promising to rely on them to eat food. I believe that not only the people at the bottom but also the army will work hard for it.

As the saying goes, the people regard food as their heaven, while the king regards the people as their heaven.

The people can abandon the king for food.

If a king loses his people, why is he called a king?
Li Si was sighing, his admiration for Chang Yu's recognition in his heart was growing.

"If there are saints in the world."

"Then you are a true saint."

Seeing them startled there, Chang Yu suddenly panicked, maybe he was really crazy? !

Why this sudden surprise? !

Eat potatoes and be surprised.

Eat rice, surprised.

Eat sweet potatoes, surprised.

I was surprised to eat BBQ!

When I saw the paper to wipe my butt, I almost hugged it to sleep and didn't let it go!
What else is there that they haven't seen?
Can you stop acting like you have never seen the world!

Chang Yu was really convinced by them!

It's not that they are crazy, but that they are crazy!

Seeing what Emperor Shihuang wanted to say, he quickly scolded him: "Shut up!"

"No matter how hard you guys are, you can cook your own food in the future!"

special!
You can't even eat a meal!
Surprised, I don't know what to do!
Shi Huang smacked his lips and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He was very puzzled and curious at the moment.

Who is Chang Yu in front of me?

It has only been a few days since landing on the island.

He has repeatedly come up with things that are enough to change the structure of Daqin.

The point is, these things are unheard of.

Logically speaking, sweet potatoes with an output value of several thousand kilograms per acre shouldn't be an uncommon thing, right?
But the first emperor had traveled through all the six kingdoms, and he had never seen anything similar, obviously not something that should exist in Great Qin.
