I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 428 Grain Weaknesses
That night, Qin Yong finally saw clearly how those people died.

This night was the warmest night with the most bonfires on site.

However, after many workers stopped, they did not work hard, and their body temperature gradually dropped.

Many people shivered in the cold wind, unable to keep warm even with a bonfire in front of them, and finally fell down in the snow to rest.

Some people are asleep and still have a chance to wake up, but there are also some people who are doomed to never wake up when they fall asleep.

It's too cold, it's really too cold, it's freezing to death.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen smell bad, and the road is frozen to death. It's not unreal, it's just that I haven't seen it before!"

On the hill, Qin Yong stood with his hands behind his back, watching this scene with deep shock in his eyes.

Slowly closing his eyes, he was completely lonely.

Wang Ben stood behind him. Throughout the whole day, Wang Ben didn't do anything, maybe because he put his hope on Qin Yong, and he just accompanied Qin Yong like this.

No matter what Qin Yong wants to know, he will explain it to Qin Yong at the first time, and take Qin Yong to see it.

Hearing Qin Yong's words at this moment, his heart couldn't help trembling slightly.

The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road is frozen to death. These words are really appropriate to describe this scene.

"Xuan Wenjun visited today, how do you feel?"

After a long silence, Wang Ben finally spoke.

"There are some things that must be changed. Tomorrow, I will trouble the general to send [-] soldiers over for Qin Yong. Qin Yong will settle the matter first, and rush back to Xianyang tomorrow, and then he can meet the king and find a way to solve this matter!"

Qin Yong sighed, what he saw and heard today completely overturned his three views.

He had to change anyway.

"Okay, if Xuan Wenjun has any needs, just ask for it!"

Wang Ben nodded, sure enough, this guy was finally willing to help.

"Let's go, go back!"

Then, Qin Yong waved his hand again, and Wang Ben just led the way to Lishan Camp.

However, just after arriving at Lishan Camp, Qin Yong discovered another scene that surprised him.

Yes, it was a scene of surprise.

When eating last night, he was in the big tent with Wang Ben and others, and did not pay attention to the situation of the sergeants outside.

But when I came back at this moment, I happened to encounter this scene.

He found that what the sergeants ate was the same as that of the civilian husbands, it was gruel with a similar consistency.

To put it even better, everyone has a piece of dry food like a weed bread in their hands.

These sergeants eat deliciously, and it seems that it has become a habit long ago.

"Do they eat this on weekdays?"

Qin Yong was astonished and said in disbelief.

"Otherwise, Mr. Xuan Wen wouldn't even dislike this, would he?"

Wang Ben smiled from the side.

"Could it be that they can't even eat dry food on weekdays?"

Qin Yong frowned.

"Hahaha……"

"Mr. Xuan Wen is joking, right? Even the king dare not say that he can eat dry food every day. If we want to let this [-] army eat dry food, I, Daqin, will have to be poor!"

"This dry meal is a luxury. It's not bad to have two or three meals a year!"

Wang Ben laughed out loud, feeling that Qin Yong was joking with him.

Qin Yong's heart trembled, and there were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but suddenly he stopped talking.

He thought of a question, yes, in this era, how much food can a country have enough to waste?

Eating dry rice is simply something that ordinary people dare not even dream about.

He actually understood this truth before, and thought about it, but unfortunately he was helpless.

But now, he found that he seemed to have the ability to change, but he forgot a lot.

This era is not as good as later generations. There are no upland rice seeds such as corn and potatoes.

Why did Qin State vigorously create Dujiangyan and build Zhengguo Canal?

This water transportation is actually the destiny of a country.

With the development of water conservancy projects, the country will naturally be strong.

For example, Chu State, which is located in the east and south of the Yangtze River, has prosperous water conservancy, even if the governance is not good, but in terms of food, it can still compete with Qin State.

In this era, if you want to grow food, you must have rice fields.

For rice cultivation, water is the biggest problem.Therefore, Qin State created Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal in order to create tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.

On this point, Qin Guo has really achieved the ultimate.

However, although there are more and more rice fields that Qin can use, the influx of people from various countries still seems to be insufficient.

Although there is rice in this era, it is not as rich as in later generations.

Not much to say, let’s talk about the twentieth century and the 21st century, before the emergence of hybrid rice.With the technology of that era, it is already very remarkable that this rice can produce [-] catties per mu.

As for this era, it can produce thirty or forty catties, which is the so-called one stone, which is considered awesome.

In this way, what if Qin has millions of acres of fertile land?

It is God's will to harvest 500 million shi of grain a year.In many cases, even the three to five million shi of grain may not be harvested.

The current population of Qin State is about 600 million, and one stone of grain is more than 30 catties. Each of these people can't even eat [-] catties of grain.

Just imagine, a normal adult really wants to eat dry rice, half a catty of rice for a meal, that is basically normal.

If you eat three meals a day, you will have to pay more than a catty to say the least.

This year, to say the least, I have to eat more than 300 catties, which is ten stones.

One person eats ten shi of grain a year, and 10 people need more than 100 million shi, which is indeed enough to make the whole Qin country poor.

So under normal circumstances, ordinary people in this era eat porridge far more than they eat dry rice.

There are 360 ​​five days a year, and it is very remarkable to be able to eat dry rice for those ten days. Even many people can't eat a single meal and can only live on wild vegetables.

Thinking of this, Qin Yong twitched violently in his heart again, unable to respond to Wang Ben's words.

"Change!"

In an instant, two words came to the back of Qin Yong's mind.

Once, he thought about changing the fate of food in your era, so as to change his own destiny.

It's just that too many things happened later, and now that he has the ability, he forgot.

It's all right, let's go, go in!
Qin Yong waved his hand, feeling more and more heavy in his heart.

He found that he had made the right move on this trip to Mount Li.

If he doesn't come to Lishan, he will always think that Qin is as rich as Xianyang, as he has seen and heard,
If he didn't come to Mount Li, he might not think of changing the fate of food in this era, and thus change the fate of people in the world in this era.

Back in the big tent, A Yao and others rushed over after hearing the news.

Under Wang Ben's hospitality, they ate something and everyone began to rest.

Early the next morning, Wang Ben indeed mobilized tens of thousands of troops, and under Qin Yong's orders, he dug all the holes Qin Yong had arranged in less than an hour.

Qin Yong stepped forward and buried the detonator explosives that had been prepared a long time ago.

After some operations, so many people helped, it was really a piece of cake.

Speaking of which, Qin Yong was not very proficient for the first time, otherwise 800 people would be enough for Qin Yong to complete it as quickly as possible.
