Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds
Chapter 100 Harvest
For thousands of years, China has had only one problem: not having enough food!
The prosperous era that all wise rulers are most proud of is that most people have enough to eat and will not starve to death, or that no one wants to starve to death and rise up in rebellion.
Ying Zheng was protected by the imperial guards in the center, with Fusu and the jade rabbit in his arms by his side.
The main edible part of carrots is the root and rhizome, so you have to dig them out first, then put them into a pile and cut off the leaves, and then slowly pile the carrots into a pile.
The harvesters were not very skilled at first, but as they got more and more carrots to practice, they became faster and faster, and piles of carrots piled up in the fields.
Every time a pile of carrots was harvested, there would be a commotion among the crowd.
"Your Majesty, one acre of land has been harvested."
Someone ran over excitedly and bowed, his eyes sparkling as if there were tears, and his voice was high-pitched.
“How Much Food Was Produced”
The King of Qin still looked dignified and calm, and asked slowly and steadily.
System Jade Rabbit laughed secretly: Your muscles are almost stretched straight, yet you are still pretending.
No matter they were common people or high-ranking ministers, everyone held their breath and focused their attention, with pairs of eager eyes fixed on the person who brought the news.
It would be great if there were 2 stones, the people had a faint hope in their hearts.
As long as there are so many, even if half of the taxes are collected this year, we can still have two more full meals.
In the pre-Qin period, units of weight included shi, jin, and liang. One shi was approximately 1.1 jin. Now the average yield per mu of land is around shi.
The people thought their idea was quite extraordinary. If the carrots had not been given by the Moon Goddess, they would not even dare to dream of being so bold.
The ideas of Qin's rulers and ministers, including Ying Zheng and Li Si, were much bolder. They did not ask for the 1,500 kilograms of output that Yue Shen had mentioned, but at least they could have 8 stones!
I was just thinking out of boredom. There is less fertilizer now and intensive farming has not reached its peak. The yield is probably one-third of the modern yield.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the messenger trembled and shouted, "One acre of land yields thirteen stones of carrots!"
The situation was out of control. People started talking and stood on tiptoe to see the carrots.
What is the concept of Thirteen Stones?
Even the dumbest farmer knows that if he grows just one season of carrots, his family will have enough to eat all year round!
Being well fed, what a luxury and distant concept.
"Don't push over here, go back, go back!"
The imperial guards shouted at the top of their lungs and pointed their spears inwards, with the sharp tips heading towards them. The people of the swarm of people finally calmed down a little, but they were still discussing excitedly and in disbelief with each other.
"Thirteen stones, how can I eat so much food?" a middle-aged farmer said in distress.
Another farmer laughed and said, "Stuff it until it's full."
"It's such a waste, such a waste, how can it be like this?" The middle-aged farmer shook his head, with uncontrollable joy on his face:
"The Moon Goddess is so kind. She gave us carrots."
"That's right. We Qin people are the most grateful. We can't just get away with it vaguely. In my opinion, we should think carefully about how to repay the Moon Goddess," an old farmer nearby said.
"Yeah"
When the people around heard this, they all nodded, agreed with it, and offered suggestions one after another.
Are Ying Zheng and the others happy?
Of course he was happy. Qin belonged to the Ying family, and Ying Zheng was the most qualified to be happy. The future and wealth of Li Si and others depended on Qin. They prospered together and suffered together. How could he not be happy?
They were so happy that the system was reluctant to break it.
Cough, cough, cough. Fusu was just laughing foolishly when he suddenly heard a cough. Confusedly he looked around but didn't find any adult coughing.
Looking down, I saw that the Jade Rabbit was just like a human, covering its mouth with its front legs and coughing like a real person.
Fusu opened his mouth slightly. It turned out that the Jade Rabbit could not only talk, but also catch a cold and cough. He tilted his head and asked:
"Yutu, what's wrong with you?"
This question also attracted the attention of Ying Zheng who was standing next to him, and he looked at him with concern.
Seeing that the system had finally attracted someone, two red spots appeared on the white rabbit fur, and it spoke in a deliberately soft voice:
"Carrots are a big crop, but they are not easy to preserve. Have you ever thought about how to preserve them?"
Everyone was stunned. Yes, carrots are a watery food and cannot be preserved for long just like fruits. So no matter how high the yield is, it cannot benefit the people.
They looked at each other, unable to think of any good solution for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
A strong sense of unwillingness lingers in everyone's heart, it would be better if they had never gotten it.
There are piles of carrots in front of you, and you are starting to imagine a bright future, but suddenly all your hopes are shattered. It feels really bad.
The system was secretly delighted. The difficulty in preserving carrots was indeed a problem, but if it was not difficult, how could it show the emergency rescue of the Moon Goddess... and the Jade Rabbit?
Only the host is so wicked, doing three things and setting three traps. The one who complains like this does not realize that he is also a wicked rabbit.
"Well, actually there is a solution."
The Jade Rabbit pretended to sing, jumped down from Fusu's arms, stood up, put its two front legs behind it, and walked steadily with three steps and one shake.
Fusu: ...his eyes widened in disbelief, his worldview shattered.
"Please let me know, Jade Rabbit."
Seeing Jade Rabbit like this, everyone understood that the Rabbit must have a solution. They felt half relieved, and the other half was focused on whether they could satisfy Jade Rabbit.
Li Si tried hard to ignore the Jade Rabbit's strange posture. He took a step forward, bowed, bent over, squatted slightly without leaving any trace, and spoke.
"You know, Chang Xi forced me to be a vegetarian. I ate it every day. I ate it so much that my face turned orange!"
The Jade Rabbit was filled with righteous indignation, waving its front legs. "So I went to the God of Cookery to ask how to make carrots more delicious, so I have some experience in preservation."
Li Si smiled and said a lot of nice things, praising the rabbit's fur, its elegance, and its majestic figure. Finally, he said:
"I wonder how the Jade Rabbit can teach the recipes to the poor people of Qin."
Seeing the simplest way to achieve the goal is something they have worked hard to achieve.
The system was happy at first but then became bored. Alas, as long as the host is here, there is no enemy in the world. How lonely it is to be invincible.
"Well, it's nothing, except that this recipe must be learned by all carrot growers."
"Of course you can," Li Si promised, and asked the local officials to implement it.
But Yutu rolled his eyes at her and said, "I haven't finished yet. This cookbook must be signed with my name, Yutu!"
Everyone saw that the somewhat wretched Jade Rabbit was rubbing its front legs and said excitedly:
"This way a lot of people will know me, Yutu, hahahahahahaha"
Vanity, bah, as soon as the noble Jade Rabbit finished speaking, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, it was just a trivial matter.
But Yutu also said, "Everyone must have a copy, and you can't be fake."
This is a difficult problem, as the things we record nowadays are bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips do not record many words, so they are quite valuable. Only wealthy families could own a bamboo slip. How could it be possible for everyone to have one?
When Ying Zheng frowned and asked this question, the system perked up, knowing that this was the point.
Jade Rabbit said nonchalantly, "Then don't use bamboo slips, use paper."
This will be a masterpiece of "Moon Goddess" that will last forever!
