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

But for a long time, they just thought that sweet potatoes were twice as productive as rice or chestnut rice.

I completely forgot the first time His Majesty said sweet potatoes.

Now that His Majesty mentioned it, they only remembered it.

2000 catties per mu of sweet potato?

6000 catties per mu of potatoes?

This is really hard to believe.

If this is the case, His Majesty said before that Song Yuanjian has made great contributions and can be called the King of Qi, and they will definitely not have any complaints.

Seeing someone shaking his head, Brother Zheng was a little annoyed.

These officials are getting more and more rude!

But after thinking about it, I also questioned Song Yuan in the same way at that time. Even that night, they secretly dug the ground and saw what it looked like in the ground.

Still don't believe it.

Baiguan didn't read anything, just listened to what he said, and it's normal not to believe it.

Brother Zheng waved his hand and said: "That's all! Since some of you have forgotten, or some of you don't believe it, then I will take you to open your eyes. Later, work harder and dig sweet potatoes to make up for it!"

Saying so, Brother Zheng didn't wait for the officials to speak, he directly stepped down from his seat, came outside the hall, looked at Huang Nong and said, "Now take me to Huang Tian!"

When Huang Nong received the reward, he naturally worked very hard to please him and said: "The villain obeys the order!"

As he said that, he was half a body behind Brother Zheng, and guided Brother Zheng to walk towards Huangtian with his hands.

Seeing this, all the officials were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, should they go?

His Majesty said that we should make up for our mistakes!

But no one spoke.

At this time, Wang Jian laughed and said, "It's time to dig sweet potatoes again! I didn't enjoy myself in Songjiazhuang last time, but this time I will have fun!"

"Ha ha!"

Meng Tian laughed loudly: "General Wang, shall we try again?"

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Why not?"

"Count me in!"

Meng Yi and Li Si said in unison.

The four looked at each other, laughed loudly, and followed together.

Seeing this, the officials didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly set off to follow.

At the same time, they are also guessing in their hearts.

To make His Majesty so excited, the four of Li Si even made a contest.

It is true that sweet potatoes are very productive!

Perhaps, it is not impossible to produce 2000 catties per mu and 6000 catties per mu!

While talking, they followed Brother Zheng to the place where sweet potatoes were grown.

A wilderness.

Considering the high yield of sweet potatoes and the fact that Brother Zheng brought back a lot of sweet potatoes at that time, there was absolutely no way to plant them in Huangtian.

Brother Zheng directly asked the imperial farmers to reclaim a new farmland behind the Xianyang Palace.

Anyway, with the Quyuan plow and the waterwheel, the matter of reclaiming the farmland became very simple.

Looking at the huge brand new farmland, Brother Zheng said, "It's all thanks to Song Yuan!"

Li Si and others on the side nodded, they knew what His Majesty was talking about.

But Huang Nong didn't know, he just whispered: "Your Majesty! This is the place where sweet potatoes are grown!"

Brother Zheng nodded and said: "Go and call all the imperial farmers to prepare for a good harvest!"

Huang Nong nodded immediately.

When he dug up the sweet potatoes in the morning, he took a sneak peek. The terrifying yield made him dumbfounded for a long time.

Naturally, I also know that a lot of manpower is needed to harvest.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have called all the officials to help.

Huang Nong left.

Brother Zheng turned to look at the bewildered Baiguan and said, "What are you still doing? Let's do it! Whoever digs the most sweet potatoes! I will reward you!"

Baiguan's face was covered.

They looked at the emptiness, except for some plowed fields with green seedlings, and were completely dumbfounded.

Where is the food here?

dig dig dig?

Is it possible that sweet potatoes are still growing in the ground?

Just when Baiguan hesitated.

Wang Jian suddenly rushed towards Gengtian, and at the same time shouted: "Haha! Your Majesty's big reward is settled!"

"Hey! Wang Jian, you bad old man, you don't follow the rules!"

Seeing this, Meng Tian shouted anxiously, and rushed towards the plowing field as well.

Meng Yi naturally followed the pace of his brother.

Not to be outdone, Li Si rolled up his sleeves and did it!

Cha Cha Cha!

The shovel hits the ground.

Brush brush!

Mud flying.

After a while, Li Si said with joy on his face: "Haha! I'm lucky today! I won the first place!"

With that said, Li Si threw away the shovel, bent down and pulled it out with all his strength.

Whoa!

Li Si pulled out a bunch of sweet potatoes with ease!

When all the officials saw this, their eyes widened.

I saw dark red fruits bigger than fists hanging on the rhizomes in Mr. Li's hands!

Take a closer look, there are a total of eight in a string!

"Is this the sweet potato?"

"They're all so big!"

"On such a small piece of land, there are eight?"

"It seems to be really productive!"

"It's not really 2000 catties per mu, is it?"

Someone asked curiously.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. If the yield per mu is really 2000 catties, Daqin is really going to take off!

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Don't worry about him so much! You'll know if you dig it!"

One person rushed to the plowing field and joined Li Si's digging army.

People follow the crowd, and hundreds of officials are also unavoidable. Some people rushed in, and they couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to the plowing field.

Seeing this, Brother Zheng stroked Fuxu in relief.

Waiting for you to look good! .

Chapter 123

When all the officials rushed into the plowing field.

The four of Li Si had already lifted all the soil from a plowed field.

Numerous sweet potatoes appeared in front of the eyes of the officials.

Baiguan looked at the dark red ocean in front of him, his eyes were all as big as copper bells.

At first glance, it seems that this field is full of sweet potatoes, and the number is so large that it is impossible to visually detect it.

The yield of sweet potatoes is 2000 catties per mu!

Suddenly, such a number appeared in their minds.

Immediately, all the officials were extremely excited.

What is the concept of 2000 catties per mu? It was really said to His Majesty. With sweet potatoes and potatoes, Daqin will quickly become strong.

Daqin is about to take off!

For a while, this idea filled the minds of all the officials.

"Crazy crazy!"

"It can't be true! Hit me!"

"No, no, no! I'm going to dig sweet potatoes!"

"Come on! Dig sweet potatoes!"

"Sweet potatoes! Feasts too!"

Baiguan looked at the endless sweet potatoes in the plowing field like a sea, and they all went completely crazy. They rushed directly into the plowing field and pulled out the sweet potatoes one by one.

After someone pulled out the sweet potato, they hugged the sweet potato and kissed it regardless of the mud on it. They kept saying, "Baby! You are a baby!"

Some people even harvested sweet potatoes and shed tears over and over again. The bean-sized teardrops soaked the ground, and there was only a choking sound from the couch.

In addition, there are some people who are already in a state of madness, just digging the sweet potatoes with their heads hard, and the soil is flying on their bodies without noticing it, as if only the sweet potatoes in front of them are left in their eyes.

The four of Li Si, who were constantly digging the soil, couldn't help sighing when they saw this.

When they harvested sweet potatoes, they were similar to Baiguan, and even more excited.

The advent of sweet potatoes has indeed brought them too much impact.

The visual impact alone is enough to make people crazy. After all, the daily yield of chestnut rice is only more than 100 catties per mu, but that of sweet potatoes is twenty times that!

Brother Zheng, who was not far away, sighed in his heart when he saw Baiguan's insane appearance.

He knew why Baiguan was so excited.

Maybe not all the people can eat enough, or it may be the reason why the Great Qin is strong and prosperous.

It's just that there is no shortage of food in Daqin, and there will even be more and more food.

Because of its own one-armed dictatorship, the imperial court had to support 300 million troops, millions of prisoners of war, and hundreds of thousands of other personnel.

This also led to the fact that the Great Qin court has always been very poor.

Even with the support of a very strict tax policy, the imperial court sometimes cannot make ends meet, and often encounters times when it cannot even pay the salary.

That's why when it was time to open a warehouse to release grain, all the officials were very conflicted, and even a little outraged.

Because opening a warehouse to release grain means that there will be no salary for a long time, and so many people in a family have to tighten up.

Even in many cases, the life of officials is not as good as that of some businessmen.

Not to mention the dignitaries of the Six Nations.

There are often people who say that it is better to have land to grow than to be an official.
