Chapter 7
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The next moment, he glanced at Li Zhao strangely and said secretly: You like to pretend, don't you? I'll let you pretend in fear.
He casually asked: "Boy, do you have any good ideas to solve the problem of yield per acre?"
Li Zhao looked embarrassed and said quickly: "Young man doesn't understand anything and has no good ideas. But your Majesty, you can ask me, Brother Zhan, he may have some good ideas."
When I asked you about your head, Ying Zheng really wanted to curse out loud, asking you to make excuses and using that guy to disgust me.
Suddenly, his expression became terrifying, and he shouted sternly: "Come here, take this kid down and chop him."
When Li Zhao heard this, his face changed in shock and turned pale instantly. It turns out that he is accompanying you like a tiger, and he will die if you are not careful.
He didn't say anything wrong, but he used such terrifying methods.
Cut off? He is only seventeen years old!
"Father, you must not do it. Li Zhao is still young and immature. If you have any good ideas, please let him go." Fusu Renren was shocked when he saw Ying Zheng giving such an order and hurriedly persuaded him.
Ying Zheng ignored it and tilted his head.
"Yes!" The two guards next to him came over immediately and were about to capture Li Zhao.
"Slow down, Your Majesty, I have a good plan for my humble position."
Haha! Ying Zheng smiled proudly and shouted away the guards, secretly saying: There is still a special method to make the boy speak! This should have been done a long time ago! Why do I need to be violent?
"Actually, I have a special method to increase the grain yield per acre, and it can also produce two grains a year in the Guanzhong area." Li Zhao said hurriedly.
No way! If he hides it any longer, his head will be moved. Banjun really can't joke around.
It's not that he is talking nonsense. The rice seeds the system gave him are all special varieties. Let alone Champa rice and Huanghuazhan rice, just hybrid rice. But Grandpa Yuan has devoted his life to it. If his guess is right, the system will give him
The hybrid rice is the most advanced and good product, and can be harvested twice a year in the Guanzhong area.
Moreover, according to the yield of hybrid rice in the previous life, the yield per mu could reach more than 1,000 kilograms. Compared to Da Qin, the yield per mu was only one or two dan, or no more than three shi at most. It was simply dwarfed by the amount.
More than ten times.
If there were no natural or man-made disasters, and if rice continued to become popular, there would be no problem in providing food and clothing for the people within two years.
Of course, now that Qin Shihuang knew about rice, he would definitely contribute it. Fortunately, the system provided three kinds of seeds. It was impossible for him to hand over hybrid rice, and the yield per mu of Champa rice was too low and its maturity period was too long.
It is long and unsuitable, and is only occupied by yellow flowers.
Huanghuazhan is harvested twice a year, with a yield of more than ten shi per mu, which is much better than the yield per mu of this era. It was just enough to cope with Qin Shihuang, and hybrid rice, hehe! It can become a tool to make money.
"Two crops a year? Is this wheat?" Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
Li Zhao shook his head and said, "No, it's rice, the main crop in Nanhai County."
"Rice? Two crops a year? If it were in Nanhai County, wouldn't it be four crops?"
Good stuff! Ying Zheng thought to himself, his eyes shining.
Although rice is not a staple food in the Guanzhong area, isn't it also a grain? Faced with the people who are still unable to eat enough, grain is undoubtedly a life-saving straw, regardless of whether it is a staple food.
And it’s still four crops. You know, the rice in the Guanzhong area is only one crop a year.
Li Zhao felt that Ying Zheng was too whimsical. Two crops a year was already very good, but he still wanted four crops? Haha! But in Nanhai County, three crops should be possible, and three crops is a big concept.
"No, it should be possible to make it three times cooked in Nanhai County."
"Oh!" Ying Zheng was slightly disappointed, but only for a moment.
"How's the yield per acre?"
This is his biggest concern.
Li Zhao paused. If he still dared to lie at this moment, he just didn't want his head.
"It should be eight stones." Let's keep it as small as possible. If calculated according to the average level in the previous life, Huang Hua's yield per mu should be ten stones, so he deliberately reduced it by two stones.
Because although he has been reborn for seventeen years, he has never farmed. If the soil quality in Da Qin is not up to standard, or if it fails to meet the requirements due to other reasons, then his head will really fall to the ground.
This is deceiving you!
"What?" Ying Zheng was shocked, his eyes widened, and his pupils shrank rapidly.
Eight stones? What is that concept? You must know that the rice yield per mu in the Guanzhong area is only about one or two stones, and the most is only three stones. And eight stones is an increase of three or four times!
Four times the yield per mu means that over time, 20 million people can live. It means that the people do not have to go hungry and can live a worry-free life. It means that the country can have long-term peace and stability, and all problems can be solved!
This is huge news! Even if I conquered the Six Kingdoms, I would not be as excited as I am now.
"Seriously?" Ying Zheng shook his head, still unable to believe it.
"really."
Li Zhao nodded affirmatively.
But I was wailing in my heart. Looking at the look in Qin Shihuang's eyes, his dream of getting rich was a bit uncertain. Will Zulong confiscate his seeds?
"Haha! Okay, okay! Haha!" Ying Zheng laughed like never before.
Fusu had been listening, and when he heard such news, he frowned, but still agreed.
"Congratulations to my father for finding a treasure. With an output of eight stones per mu, our Daqin general will be as stable as Mount Tai. I am very happy to congratulate you!"
"Haha!" Ying Zheng rarely agreed with Fusu's words.
"Li Zhao listens to the title. I will make you a young lady and specialize in agricultural affairs. I can go to court easily. I will grant you the title of first-class civil servant. I will give you a thousand acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Xianyang, a house, and five yi coins."
"From now on, work hard to cultivate the land with your special method, and be sure to grow rice with a yield of eight shi per mu."
Da Qin has an official who specializes in agricultural affairs, Shaonei, a medium-sized royal private position.
The Great Qin Dynasty also had title levels, which were originally designed for military merit. However, after unification, there were few wars, so few people received them. Later, they gradually evolved into rewards for those who made contributions.
There are twenty levels in total, and the first-level civil servant is the lowest level. However, even the lowest level is a title after all. The status is not comparable to ordinary people, and there is also a salary to be paid. It is an existence that many people dream of.
Needless to say, there are thousands of acres of fertile land. If you are not a powerful person or a landowner, no one can have so much fertile land.
The top coin is gold, one yi is equivalent to twenty taels, and five yi is equivalent to one hundred taels of gold, which is not too small.
Ah! Li Zhao was stunned for a moment and had not yet recovered from his shock.
The reward was a bit generous. Qin Shihuang was really generous. He rewarded him with so many things without any merit. The next moment, I thought: I just said it because I was afraid of death. To receive such a reward is a bit of a joke. Qin Shihuang
Aren't you afraid that I will tell lies?
When Ying Zheng heard his voice, he smiled in his heart: I knew you were afraid, otherwise how would you discover your talents? As for child's play! So what if I play child's play with you?
In fact, it was not a joke for Ying Zheng. He had thought a lot about increasing crop yields, but he couldn't think of any good way. After Li Zhao said this, he decided to give it a try. Of course, he was only able to do so because he was confident.
.
Judging from Li Zhao's various performances, he is not a mediocre person. If he can really grow eight shi per mu of food, it will be worth the effort.
He just has such courage.
"From today on, you don't have to wait around the eldest son. Just farm your land! I hope to see you grow eight shi of food per mu in half a year."
"Go for it!"
Although Ying Zheng said with a smile, his words revealed that he was serious. If Li Zhao dared to deceive, the consequences would be serious.
Li Zhao also realized this, and he didn't know whether he felt happy or heavy. After bowing and thanking him, he left.
"Father, you..." Fusu realized it later and twitched the corners of his mouth.
I have already understood in my heart that my father did not want to execute Li Zhao just now, but just threatened him. But, is it really feasible to produce eight stones per mu?
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said in a slow tone, "I know what you are going to say. There are some things that you really have to give a try to have a chance. Otherwise, staying put and staying put will only lead to destruction. Do you understand?"
Of course Fusu understood, otherwise he wouldn't have faced his father's anger and reported the matter of suppressing Shang.
"It's just that he is just a teenager, can he really do it?" Fusu was puzzled.
Ying Zheng took the rare opportunity to pat Fusu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You underestimate him, or you don't understand him."
Do you understand? Fusu is a little confused. He has only been in contact with Li Zhao for less than an hour, so how can he understand him? It seems that his father has only been in contact with him for a short time, so how can he understand him?
"Fu Su, immediately send my secret order to Nanhai County, and order Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to lead an army of 500,000 to plow the South China Sea and open up fertile land for me to use later."
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were the generals stationed in Yue.
"promise!"
Fusu was overjoyed and took the order and left.
This secret order is very obvious, that is, the father accepted his suggestion and opened up Nanhai County, which proves that the father still approves of him, but the manpower problem has not been solved yet!
Farming and war? He immediately thought of this word, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Farming and war were indeed a good idea. Why didn't he think of it?
