Da Qin: After becoming a saint, he stole Brother Zheng’s spot in the group

The next day.

The officials received the news that they would not go to court today and would all go to Daqin Farm.

Although they don't know why, this is Ying Zheng's order, how can they disobey it.

Ying Zheng rode in a sedan chair and arrived at Daqin Farm with hundreds of civil and military officials, invited elderly people, and a team of nearly a thousand farming experts.

"Tian Fei, see the king!"

"Where are the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the young master mentioned?"

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Tian Fei took Ying Zheng and his party to a carefully maintained field.

They looked at a field of green and slightly yellowed leaves, but there was no trace of any fruit.

"Tian Fei, these are potatoes and sweet potatoes! Why didn't I see any fruit?"

"Your Majesty, potatoes and sweet potatoes are special. Their fruits are underground and need to be dug out to see them. I will dig them out now!"

"Um! First dig an acre of land each and let me see how the yield is?"

Although the farmer's planting method was wrong, they still saved a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. They planted a total of thirty acres here.

Ten acres of potatoes and twenty acres of sweet potatoes.

"The villain obeys!"

"The king has an order to dig!!"

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are being dug in a hurry here.

Zhao Chen is still sleeping in Haitangchun.

At this time, Moon God walked in and woke him up.

"Sister Luna, you are out of seclusion"

"Young Master, today the king takes hundreds of officials to the farm to witness the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Why doesn’t the Young Master go?"

"What's so good about that? Anyway, no one in Da Qin will starve to death in the future."

Hearing this, Moon God was a little dumbfounded. Master, are you calm?

Or are you simply lazy!

"Master, this time I speculated on the weather and found that this winter may be the coldest period in the past century. It is necessary to warn the people to take precautions against cold and frost!"

As the master of the Qin Dynasty, the Moon God not only needs to calculate, but also needs to calculate the calendar, calculate the weather, etc., just like the Qintian Supervisor later.

"Winter?"

Zhao Chen frowned.

This is no small matter.

There is no cotton in Daqin now. During the winter season, we can only wear thick cotton and linen clothes to survive the winter.

But in the face of the severe winter, many people simply cannot withstand it.

Yes, although it is not available now Cotton, but it’s not impossible.

A heated kang seems to be fine.

There’s also charcoal. The world is now rich in coal resources, so we can use them.

"Sister Luna, don’t worry, the people of Great Qin will definitely survive this severe winter safely."

Zhao Chen said confidently

"Oh, Master, have you thought of a solution?"

"This is natural, sister, just look at it!"

Zhao Chen got up directly, washed up, and went straight to the study after eating.

He began to draw how to make the earthen kang, how to make a small stove, etc.

These are all artifacts for heating.

Although stoves are still very luxurious for the common people. , but not the earthen kang. The clay embryo is still easy to make, so every household can successfully build the earthen kang.

After drawing these two drawings, Zhao Chen began to think about the distribution of coal.

Although the largest coal resources are in Zhao State Within the territory, after all, Zhao State is the future Shanxi Province, where coal resources are abundant.

But Daqin also has coal resources, and it is not far from Xianyang City.

It is located in the current Yongdi.

If mined, it will be enough for Daqin to use for many years. , after the Great Qin unified the six countries, the coal resources of the Zhao State will naturally belong to the Great Qin.

But it is a bit far to say this now, so he took out the map of the Great Qin.

According to memory, Zhao Chen began to circle it, with the purpose of mining coal.

Now But no one knows the value of coal, so these are basically useless things.

After drawing the map, Zhao Chen began to write about the production process of anthracite.

More than three hours had passed by the time everything was done.

And here at Daqin Farm, when Tian Fei was digging potatoes and sweet potatoes, all the officials were curious about what these things were that Ying Zheng paid so much attention to, and they grew underground. They had never heard of them, and so did the old people and farmers..

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the field.

When the first potato plant was dug out, everyone's eyes widened.

There was a long string of yellow spherical fruits on that plant. Is this a potato?

One plant. If there are so many fruits, how many should be in one acre of land? Look at the sweet potatoes on the other side. Although they are red-skinned fruits, they are also a long string and look like a lot.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

If this fruit can Use it, that's really amazing.

Seeing such a harvest, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were full of expectation, and he almost couldn't help but go dig it himself. Fortunately, in order to keep his strength, he acted impulsively.

But someone did Unable to bear it anymore, the first one was to stop the loss. It was Nei Shiteng.

He rushed into the field desperately and started to check.

Where there was the first, there was the second.

Wang Jian, Feng Wan, Meng Wu... everyone joined in The excavation team soon finished digging two acres of land.

They really dug the field three feet into the ground, not leaving out a single potato or sweet potato.

"Your Majesty, one acre of land has been dug."

"Ahem, weigh yourself!"

Looking at the small mountain of potatoes and sweet potatoes, even without weighing Ying Zheng, he knew that this was a great victory, a victory for the Qin Dynasty, and a victory for the people.

As Zhao Chen said, no one in the Qin Dynasty will starve to death in the future..

Soon, the weighing was completed.

Everyone waited with bated breath for Tian Fei to report the number.

"Your Majesty, the potatoes are forty-one stones in total, and the sweet potatoes are forty-eight stones."

Silence, everyone was stunned when they heard this number.

Even if they heard it with their own ears, they felt like they were hallucinating.

This number used to require a harvest of ten acres of land, and it had to be fertile land.

Now it's One mu of land can produce more than ten acres of land. Is this true? It’s incredible.

After coming back to their senses, everyone started discussing

"is this real? The yield per mu is more than 40 shi"

"It's incredible"

"Can these potatoes and sweet potatoes be eaten?"

"It might work!"

"If we can eat, then we don’t have to worry about hunger anymore"

"God bless Daqin!"

Many old people shed tears of joy

"Your Majesty, are these potatoes and sweet potatoes edible?"

"It is natural, Zhao Gao, to cook potatoes and sweet potatoes for everyone the way it is written here."Ying Zheng handed Zhao Gao the instructions written by Zhao Chen.

Zhao Gao began to let people roast sweet potatoes and potatoes. This is the simplest way to eat them. Conditions are limited, so this is the only way. Tian Fei continued to let people dig them. Potatoes and sweet potatoes!

Soon, everyone faintly smelled the fragrance.

The taste was very special, but very fragrant, which aroused people's appetite.

Some people couldn't help but swallowed.

After roasting, Zhao Gao tried to eat a few, After confirming that it was non-toxic, he presented it to Ying Zheng, and then shared it with everyone.
