Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

But only sweet potatoes, they ignored.

Because it was too exaggerated, and because it was the first thing Song Yuan put forward.

The latter has been fully realized, so does the former still need to be questioned?

If you look at Song Yuan's current development step by step, nine out of ten sweet potatoes are real!

"hiss!"

Thinking of this, more than one of the five people in the hall took a deep breath.

The idea is amazing!

It can even be said to be a little scary!

This is 10 times, even 60 times the grain of chestnut rice!

If sweet potatoes are really so high-yield, as long as they live to grow seedlings, they can be promoted to be planted throughout Daqin.

This will be a prosperous Qin Dynasty!

The five people in the hall are the first emperor, the prime minister and the general.

They naturally know what serious problem Daqin is facing now, and that is the food shortage!

The 300 million troops of the Qin army had to be raised, as well as the captives and laborers of the six countries. You must know that these people did not farm.

Therefore, countless burdens have all fallen on the people.

When Qin was first unified, the people could still afford it.

However, with the stability in the past few years, many farmers have also given birth to many children, and the burden has suddenly increased, and they need to grow more food.

It also inevitably requires more plowing.

However, Daqin adopted the military merit system, and only those who made meritorious deeds could get farmland, and they couldn’t fight in peacetime, so naturally they couldn’t get farmland.

For a while, now there has been a shortage of plowing fields, and food is also in short supply.

Brother Zheng has already started to think about whether to carry out farmland restructuring, but without any reference, everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

If you are not careful and repeat the mistakes of the well field system, it is better not to reform the system.

But now, things seem to have turned around again. If the sweet potatoes that Song Yuan said are true, all food problems will be solved easily!

Brother Zheng thought for a while, and said, "Meng Tian, ​​do you still remember what Song Yuan said at dinner last time?"

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "He said that sweet potatoes are ripe every two months, and when I left this morning, I took a quick look and saw some seedlings on the plowing field."

Brother Zheng nodded slightly, and asked again: "It seems that all the cultivated fields in Songjiazhuang are planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes, right?"

Meng Tian nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Brother Zheng's eyes sharpened.

If Songjiazhuang does not grow other grains, if the sweet potatoes are immature, won't it be impossible to pay taxes next year?

In other words, Song Yuan is very sure about sweet potatoes!

It only takes two months for these two kinds of crops to mature. Counting the time, it has already been about half a month now. You only need to wait for more than 40 days to see the result!

Li Si and the others were also a little excited. The emergence of seedlings meant that sweet potatoes could be grown.

It's just a question of how much to produce!

At this time, Meng Yi completely forgot about the attack on Songjiazhuang, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I petition, go to Song Yuanzhuangzi's field and take a closer look."

Brother Zheng waved his hands and said: "I have my own plan for this matter, I and Meng Tian will go to Songjiazhuang tomorrow, the three of you don't go for now, so as not to startle the snake!"

The three had no choice but to nod.

Brother Zheng said again: "By the way, Li Si, tomorrow you will arrange some powerful craftsmen in the palace, and I will steal the waterwheel!"

Li Si quickly agreed.

The others looked a little strange at Brother Zheng's righteous speech.

When will His Majesty start stealing lessons?

It seems that this Song Yuan really has two brushes, and the rebellion is not empty talk!

...

Songjiazhuang.

Song Yuan personally stewed a porridge for nourishing qi and nourishing blood, to comfort the hardworking Ying Shiman.

Ying Shiman was very happy about this, and even a little moved. In the past few days, her husband has been staying with those big bosses, and she is a little suspicious.

But after finishing the porridge, Ying Shiman had no guesses at all.

Leaning in Song Yuan's arms, she said softly: "Husband, you are so happy today, is there any progress in the matter of private soldiers?"

Song Yuan said with a smile: "Thanks to your mother and daughter, after seven days of training, Butler Ji said that our private soldiers already have the strength of the Qin elite!"

Ying Shiman was a little surprised: "Is it that powerful? How does it compare with those elites wearing bronze ware?"

Song Yuan was taken aback for a moment, Manman's words reminded him of a very important thing. .

Chapter 21

Daqin is not an iron country, but a bronze country.

Daqin bronze craftsmanship can be said to be the pinnacle, and it cannot be imitated even in the 21st century.

Even in many documents, some ultra-high-tech bronze weapons can achieve the power of blowing hair and breaking hair, and cutting iron like mud.

However, Song Yuan came to Daqin for five years, and when he met his father-in-law for the first time, he saw a bronze sword on Steward Ji.

Although the power is not as outrageous as blowing hair and breaking hair, it is still very sharp, much stronger than ordinary modern controlled knives.

And Butler Ji is just a housekeeper in his father-in-law's house, at most he is a retired veteran of the Meng Family Army.

His bronze wares are so powerful, one can imagine how powerful the bronze wares of Daqin soldiers are.

Definitely a lot stronger!

The weapons are extremely sharp, and the armor is as solid as a rock. With such a configuration, the Song family army equipped with iron weapons has no possibility of defeating it.

This is the gap in equipment.

The equipment of the Song family army must be upgraded!

Song Yuan made a decision in his mind that he would build a steel factory in these two days. Iron wares from the Qin Dynasty were no match for bronze wares, but that doesn't mean modern steel alloys couldn't beat bronze wares.

Thinking of the confrontation between modern craftsmanship and Daqin craftsmanship, Song Yuan was a little more looking forward to it.

"Husband? I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring him?" Ying Shiman said sullenly.

Feeling the twisted little hands around his waist, Song Yuan's hair blew up, he immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about setting up a queen for you."

A smile appeared on Ying Shiman's face again, and she raised her voice: "I don't want to be a queen, I want to be a princess!"

Song Yuan raised his brows, why did women in ancient times have to do public lifts every day, just like women in modern times?

He could only smile and said, "Okay, okay, you are my Princess Manman!"

She is Princess Shiman!

Ying Shiman thought about it, but still smiled and hugged Song Yuan's dog waist.

Gentle country, soft fingers, beautiful women like jade, Song Yuan no longer thinks about building steel plants, he has been busy for a week, and today he will just spend time with his wife.

...

The next morning.

Brother Zheng brought Meng Tian and several craftsmen to Songjiazhuang early.

But this time, Brother Zheng did not go to Song Yuan, but went straight to the river not far from the village, and said to several craftsmen: "You guys start to study this waterwheel now, the sooner the better!"

"Yes, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Several craftsmen had been greeted long ago, and they shouted a word of master tremblingly, and then immediately began to study the waterwheel.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers ignored it. They all knew that the fat man in front of them was the father-in-law of the young owner, so they didn't do much to stop him.

After a while, the principles and skills of the waterwheel were thoroughly seen by the craftsmen, and they began to marvel at it.

"I really didn't expect that you can use the power of the river itself to push the waterwheel?"

"The person who invented this is really Lu Ban alive!"

"With this thing, the farmers will be much more relaxed!"

Seeing the intense discussion between the three, Brother Zheng felt a little proud that his virtuous son-in-law is still very powerful.

However, he still urged: "When you understand, go back and invent, don't stay here!"

Brother Zheng didn't want Song Yuan to find out that he had come to steal a teacher. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he caught him later?

Once the craftsmen were reprimanded, they all kept silent, fearing that Zulong would get angry, they took a quick look, wrote down the main points, and left.

Brother Zheng looked at Meng Tian and said, "Go and see the sweet potatoes and potatoes."

The two followed suit and came to the plowing field.

Brother Zheng looked around, and sure enough, as Meng Tian said, the field could already see the protruding green.

Immediately, Brother Zheng looked forward to what it would look like when the potatoes and sweet potatoes were ripe in a month and a half.

Is it the same as rice, with round potatoes and sweet potatoes growing on the tall poles?

"Father-in-law? Why are you here?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from a distance.

Brother Zheng and Meng Tian are both clever, looking at Song Yuan approaching from a distance, a little at a loss.

Could it be possible to tell Song Yuan that they came to steal the waterwheel, or to observe the potatoes and sweet potatoes?

Without waiting for the two to speak.

Song Yuan said with a smile in his eyes: "How is it? The sweet potatoes have already sprouted, and a lot of them have grown in the ground, and they can be harvested in a month and a half!"

The potatoes and sweet potatoes here are all super seedlings rewarded by the system, which can be ripened in two months regardless of time and weather.

This is also the reason why Song Yuan planted the seeds without much preparation.

Brother Zheng nodded and said, "Is it really as productive as you said? 2000 catties per mu and 6000 catties per mu?"

"As you wish, in a month and a half your old man will see what a bumper harvest is!"

Song Yuan said confidently.

Brother Zheng frowned, and couldn't help looking forward to it.

This is true, it is really Daqin's treasure!

Similarly, he looks forward to Song Yuan's continued development and come up with more inventions that benefit the country and the people.

Ever since, Brother Zheng asked: "If this sweet potato is successful, you will have food, money and soldiers. What are you going to do next?".

Chapter 22

This question happened to be in Song Yuan's heart.

Moreover, Song Yuan also found that his father-in-law's attitude had changed a lot since he watched the military parade yesterday.

First of all, the father-in-law will come to inspect the sweet potato by himself, and now he is also actively asking about the development situation.

This change means that the father-in-law has also begun to participate in it, which is almost the same as joining in the future.

Song Yuan naturally wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue every opportunity.

He adjusted his thinking, and said: "Now that the army has gradually grown stronger, it is natural to fully arm the Song family army. I need to vigorously develop the steel factory and start smelting steel!"

Brother Zheng frowned and said, "You're taking a long step, and Daqin bronze wares are so good, why do you want to make iron wares? Iron wares are soft and brittle, so what's the use?"

Meng Tian also saw the needles and said: "Song Yuan, you can definitely invent some other things to improve the life of Songjiazhuang, isn't it possible?"
