Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 24 Great Qin Xiangrui
The veins on Yingzheng's forehead were throbbing, and he didn't expect to be complained about again!
But what Zhao Yi said is that there are indeed too few capable ministers in the DPRK who can rely on him.

[I will soon be able to produce three thousand catties of potatoes per mu, which really annoys me, I will give you eight thousand catties per mu! 】

[There are also sweet potatoes, hybrid rice, and sweet potatoes, all of which can easily produce thousands or even tens of thousands of catties per mu. 】

【Can you old troll do it?Besides beep beep, what else would you order? 】

hum-

Zhao Yi's slander made Ying Zheng's brain buzz, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yi involuntarily.

He knew about potatoes, and he also knew a little bit about sweet potatoes. They were both crops with an astonishing yield per acre.

But Yingzheng didn't expect that Zhao Yi would hide his clumsiness from him, and the yield of potatoes could reach [-] catties per mu!

Moreover, he also has hybrid rice and sweet potatoes, which are also high-yielding treasures, but I don’t know what crops he is talking about with a yield of [-] kilograms per mu!
The information Zhao Yi revealed really shocked Ying Zheng.

Although Yingzheng is skeptical about the yields of sweet potatoes, hybrid rice and sweet potatoes, he has seen potatoes with his own eyes.

As long as the yield per mu like that of Zhao Yi's backyard can be achieved, the prosperity of Daqin is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Cang among the officials below, and Zhang Cang suddenly understood.

"Your Majesty, I believe that His Majesty's disrespect in front of His Royal Highness is justifiable. As for the crime of disrespect that His Royal Highness said, I think His Royal Highness did not do it on purpose."

"After all, Your Majesty Ninth Prince has been researching high-yield crops day and night, and has been working in the fields outside the palace. It is inevitable that he does not understand the court rules very well, so please excuse yourself from responsibility."

High-yielding crops?what?What is Zhang Cang talking about?
As soon as Zhang Cang spoke, all civil and military officials were stunned, and they didn't know what happened.

"Zhang Cang, please speak clearly." Ying Zheng saw the surprise of the civil and military officials and returned to his seat with a smile.

"According to the order!" Zhang Cang handed over to Ying Zheng, and then talked eloquently to the surrounding ministers, "His Ninth Highness has researched a high-yielding crop called potatoes. This product is our great Qin Xiangrui. His Highness the Ninth Highness has devoted countless efforts and spent countless time on it. Cultivated.”

"I have passed preliminary verification and am convinced that the yield of potatoes per mu is astonishing, at least over three thousand kilograms per mu!"

"Hiss..." There were gasping sounds everywhere in the entire hall.

The yield per mu is three thousand catties, which is more than that. Zhang Cang's words are too unbelievable!
We must know that the main agricultural product of Daqin today is rice, and the general output of rice does not exceed 200 catties. Even the Daqin granary, the land of Shu in the land of abundance is only about [-] catties.

Zhang Cang actually said that there are three thousand catties of crops per mu, which is too exaggerated!
"Zhang Cang, I know that you are now a member of the Cavalry General's Palace, but you can't tell such lies just to protect your master!"

"The yield per mu is more than [-] catties, and I'm not afraid to say big words and flash my tongue. It's so ridiculous!"

"Let alone three thousand catties per mu, even three hundred catties is impossible. Zhang Cang, do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"

The ministers sneered and ridiculed, no one believed Zhang Cang's words, but Zhang Cang was not afraid at all in the face of criticism from many parties.

Zhang Cang cupped his hands at Yingzheng, "Your Majesty, I have already moved the potato seeds outside the palace. Please allow me to discuss with the princes in the hall."

"Ready to play!" Ying Zheng naturally agreed.

Soon there were servants from the general's palace carrying several large baskets of potatoes to the main hall.

It was the first time for all the ministers to see potatoes, and they were all attracted by the humble-looking potatoes. Many ministers even stretched out their hands to weigh them.

"This is a potato? It looks so gray and covered with dirt. The name will be appropriate when the time comes."

"His Royal Highness Ninth has cultivated such a thing. This thing can produce more than three thousand catties per mu, can't it?"

"Didn't everyone say that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has been eating, drinking and having fun in Zhaozhuang, how could he have the time to make such a thing?"

Seeing that the officials still didn't believe it, Zhang Cang said loudly: "My lords, what you see now are all potato seeds, and the seedlings after planting potatoes can produce more than seven potatoes like the ones in the basket now! "

"Xiaguan has carefully calculated that nearly a thousand potato seedlings can be planted in one acre of land. Counting six potatoes per plant, you can calculate for yourself how many kilograms an acre of land can produce!"

Most of the officials of the Qin State were proficient in counting books, but they only made rough estimates, and they were all shocked immediately.

"Oh my god, with this calculation, as Zhang Cang said, three thousand catties without sweating is just the lowest estimate."

"The minimum is three thousand kilograms. Isn't this terrible? Can this potato really do that?"

"Why hasn't this thing appeared before? If it has such a high output, it would really be my great Qin Xiangrui!"

With the facts before his eyes, Zhang Cang almost guaranteed his life, even if the officials had suspicions in their hearts, most of them believed it.

Young Master Fusu, Young Master Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and even Feng Jie were the most shocked.

They all thought that Zhao Yi was just a mediocre and incompetent waste, but now it seems that it is not the case at all!
Noticing the surprised eyes of the officials looking at him, Zhao Yi's head was as big as a bucket.

[Stupid Zhang Cang, who told you to vent all the truth, how can I keep a low profile? 】

[It's all right now, with so many eyes staring at me, I will have a hard time in the future! 】

[I just want to do some practical things, just let the common people have enough to eat, Feng Jie likes to talk, just let him do it! 】

[Practice hard work to rejuvenate the country, do you understand that the most important thing is that the people have no worries about food and clothing, what is a Feng Jie? 】

Um?Ying Zheng's eyes shone brightly, as if he had heard the words of a saint.

The most important thing is to work hard to rejuvenate the country, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. Such a simple truth, Zhao Yi actually said it so thoroughly casually!

"I have a unicorn, what auspicious gift from heaven!" Ying Zheng once again stood up from the dragon chair.

Feng Jie blushed instantly when he heard Ying Zheng's words, but his mouth was still stubborn, "Your Majesty, the matter of potatoes may allow His Highness Ninth Prince to make an indelible contribution to Da Qin."

"However, this has nothing to do with the crime of misconduct in front of His Highness the Ninth Highness. We, the Qin Dynasty, established the country based on laws. Those who have made meritorious services are rewarded, and those who have made mistakes are punished. Your Majesty should still bear heavy responsibility for the crime committed by His Highness the Ninth Highness!"

When the ministers heard the words, there was an uproar, Feng Jie was going all out, and he dared to offend Zhao Yi to death at this time!

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back with a cold face, "Zhao Yi is working hard to rejuvenate the country for the benefit of the world, and puts his mind on cultivating potatoes. He doesn't understand the rules in front of the palace, so he has no intention of breaking them."

"If Doctor Yu Shi insists on holding Zhao Yi accountable, he should hold me accountable first."

"I declare here today that from now on, when the ninth prince Zhao Yi goes to court, he will not abide by the rules in the palace. Feng Jie, do you understand what I say?"

Ying Zheng's sudden words instantly caused an uproar in the hall again...
