Daqin: Many sons and many blessings, create an immortal family

The silkworm is able to defend against almost all cold weapons.

Ye Xuan put on the black silkworm robe, and he was not afraid of any cold weapons.

That’s an extra life.

He couldn’t be happier.

…

Time flies.

Fast forward to harvest season.

The fields outside Xianyang City are green as far as the eye goes.

Farmers in Xianyang City began digging up potatoes and sweet potatoes.

As soon as I dug it, the potatoes with a large palm ran out of the dirt.

There are more than seven or eight potatoes connected under the rhizome of a potato.

“A lot of potatoes!”

The farmers were amazed.

There are so many potatoes under the rhizome of a potato, so how much can an acre of field have?

They looked at the dense potato leaves, and their faces were full of excitement.

Great harvest!!

It’s a bumper harvest!!

They were so excited that their hands and feet trembled.

“Dig quickly!!”

They started digging hard for potatoes.

They dug up potato rhizomes one by one, and inside the rhizomes were connected to full potatoes.

Some farmers have also begun digging up sweet potato fields.

The sweet potato vines are connected one after the other, and the leaves are luxuriant.

They went down with a hoe and dug up the sweet potatoes inside.

Lilac sweet potatoes appeared before their eyes.

The small ones are the size of a baby’s fist, and the big ones even weigh a few pounds.

“Wow!”

“Look at it!!”

“Sweet potatoes inside!!”

The farmers’ exclamations rose one after another.

A sweet potato vine contains seven or eight, or even more than a dozen sweet potatoes.

And the sweet potatoes are huge.

They dug hard.

Sunset West Mountain.

The farmers looked at the harvest of the fields and smiled.

These potatoes and sweet potatoes really had a high yield as Ye Xuan said.

Countless times better than ordinary grain!

In this way, they will not worry about the next year’s taxes, and even a rich year!

They sincerely thanked Ye Xuan at this time.

If Ye Xuan hadn’t forced them to plant these two crops, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have risked growing these two crops.

Naturally, it is impossible to obtain so much food.

Next, as long as they continue to plant, the better days will come.

The farmers were overjoyed.

……

Xianyang Palace, main hall.

“Your Majesty, a bumper harvest!”

“At present, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Xianyang have matured and been harvested, according to statistics, potatoes are 10 million stone, sweet potatoes are 20 million stone.”

Sinong was so excited that his voice trembled.

In the conversion of the Qin Dynasty, one stone is about 31 kilograms.

In other words, potatoes have more than 150 million kilograms, and sweet potatoes have more than 210 million kilograms.

Together, this is more than 360 million kilograms, that is, more than 720 million kilograms.

Wen Wubaiguan gasped deeply.

Qin Shi Huang’s face also showed shock.

The population of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty was around 600,000.

In the book “Preliminary Study on Rations and Mu Production of Past Dynasties”, it is mentioned that the per capita ration in the pre-Qin Warring States period was forty to sixty catties.

That is to say, the per capita ration is seven hundred and twenty pounds a year.

There are more than 600,000 people in Xianyang.

In other words, Xianyang needs more than 430 million jin of rations for the rations it needs a year.

Now the potato and sweet potato grain harvested in one season is completely enough for the rations of the people of Xianyang, and there are even many left! !

Qin Shi Huang was extremely happy.

These two crops are indeed fetish!

It was God that gave them Daqin!

“Ye Aiqing has been meritorious in promoting the cultivation of this grain in Xianyang!”

“I have decided to give you a knighthood, Doctor!”

Chapter 94: History Has Changed Again! Yi Xiaochuan was stunned again!

The rank of military merit is divided into twenty grades, from the lowest to the highest, there are gongshi, shangzuo, hairpin, four bugen, doctor, etc.

The Doctor is a fifth-degree knighthood.

The titles of the Qin Dynasty were a system of rewarding military merit.

Although Ye Xuan did not make military merits, he was able to be knighted.

This is because his credit is too great.

That’s why Qin Shi Huang made an exception to knighthood.

Although the title of Daifu is far inferior to the titles of Marquis of Lie, Marquis of Che, Marquis of Kannai and so on.

But this is ~ Qin Shi Huang made an exception to reward.

Meaningful.

The Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu was all extremely envious – looked at Ye Xuan enviously.

Qin Shi Huang actually made an exception for Ye Xuan and made him a doctor.

It’s incredible.

They are not jealous.

Because they knew that this was what Ye Xuan deserved.

Ye Xuan promoted sweet potatoes and potatoes, and Xianyang alone had hundreds of millions of catties of grain output in one season, completely solving Xianyang’s food and clothing.

These two grains continue to be promoted to other counties in Daqin.

When these two grains are popularized in Daqin, the people of Daqin will not have to go hungry and have enough food and clothing.

This is a great merit!

It is also they who envy and envy do not come.

For this reason, they were convinced that Ye Xuan could be Feng Dafu.

Li Si looked at the sealed Ye Xuan, and the hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist.

Very unwilling.

Previously, if he had prevented Ye Xuan from promoting the two crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the court, Ye Xuan would not have been knighted.

Reluctantly, Fusu supported Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was able to serve as Taicang Cheng to promote these two crops.

Now these two crops have a bumper harvest and have been rewarded by the First Emperor.

All this, he can only watch, and can not do anything.

This made him very angry.

…

Xianyang had a bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Ye Xuan asked the novelist Sun Heng and others to publicize this in the newspaper.

Soon, the entire people of Daqin knew about this.

“Have you heard, Xianyang has a bumper harvest, tens of millions of stone of food!”

“I had heard about the two crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes before, but I thought that the high yield they advertised was fake, but I didn’t expect it to be true, and this yield is too scary.”

“If these two crops are promoted, the people of Daqin will no longer have to go hungry.”

There was a lot of talk.

Originally, farmers in other counties were somewhat resistant to replacing crops, but when they heard that Xianyang had a bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes, yielding tens of millions of stones, they were immediately moved.

With such a high yield, there is no need to worry about taxes and grain next year!

Farmers are switching to these two crops!

For a while, the popularity of potatoes and sweet potatoes became much easier.

Farmers are no longer resistant.

Even without official reminders, take the initiative to sow two crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The situation is very good.

Farmers in various counties of Daqin began to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Farmers in Peixian also grow two crops.

Somewhere in Peixian County, deep in the mountains and old forests.

Yi Xiaochuan put on a cloak, pasted a fake scar on his face, and changed into a cleaner coarse linen coat.

After disguising himself and having no flaws, he said to Liu Bang:

“Big brother, the grain is almost finished, I will go to the county town.”

Liu Bang wore a somewhat dirty gray coarse linen coarse linen coat, and his hair was very messy and dirty.

He leaned against the cave wall and waved his hand towards Yi Xiaochuan, but did not speak.

Because recently, he noticed that his voice had become much sharper.

It’s like a duck voice.

He immediately understood that this was the after-effect of being cut.
