Daqin: More sons and more blessings, building a long-lived family

"The young stems and leaves of the thing called sweet potato can also be eaten, and the ripe fruit can also be eaten, which is really remarkable."

Li Si frowned slightly.

He was not happy about Ye Xuan's showing off again in the court.

So what if it can be cooked twice a year.

So what if the tender stems and leaves are edible.

Can the people of the world be freed from hunger with just two kinds of food?

Li Si didn't believe it.

Ye Xuan continued to introduce.

"The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is around [-] shi."

"hiss--"

The sound of gasping for air-conditioning sounded one after another.

Eighty stones is equivalent to more than 800 catties! !

Qin Shihuang couldn't help but widen his eyes, breathing quickly, and couldn't believe the data he heard in his ears.

"As for potatoes, the yield is less."

"The yield per mu is about [-] to [-] shi."

Fifty stones is equivalent to more than 3000 catties! !

This is less?

Qin Shihuang and others felt that Ye Xuan was a little too modest.

.......................

Chapter 89 The court confronts each other, Fusu supports Ye Xuan, and concurrently serves as Taicang!

Qin Shihuang looked at the palm-sized potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands.

Look suspicious.

These two things are really as what Ye Xuan said.

Is the yield so high?

"Ye Aiqing, what you said - is it true?"

Qin Shihuang asked.

"The minister has already tested it in the mansion."

"Totally true."

"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the warehouse of the minister's residence to check it in person."

"In addition, I have already sown part of the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields. When the grains are ripe, Your Majesty can personally confirm it."

Ye Xuan is not false at all.

Yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes are extremely high.

He had already experimented at the mansion.

The output will only be more than the data he just said, not less.

Even if Qin Shihuang went to verify it himself, there would be no problem.

"Hahaha......"

"Ye Aiqing is indeed my servant!"

"The pillar of my country, Great Qin!"

"If these sweet potatoes and potatoes are popularized, the people of Daqin will definitely be able to avoid the suffering of hunger!"

Qin Shihuang was overjoyed.

Just now, the displeasure of those two officials who were corrupt and broke the law was swept away.

"Your Majesty, for the popularization of potatoes and sweet potatoes, I am willing to accept this job."

"The minister will definitely be able to feed the people of the entire Qin Dynasty."

"Let the people of Daqin no longer suffer from hunger."

Ye Xuan volunteered.

He gave these two crops for his purpose.

One is to seize power.

Donating these two crops and spreading the two crops to Daqin will surely save the people from starvation.

At that time, Qin Shihuang will definitely reward him heavily.

His position may be elevated again.

Thereby gaining more power and higher status.

The second is to consolidate the rule of Daqin.

Ye Xuan wants to let his and Yushu's children succeed Daqin, so he can't let Daqin fall.

The popularization of these two high-yield crops can feed the world.

I can have a full meal.

Naturally, the people of the world will not think of rebellion.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Ye Xuan believed that Qin Shihuang would definitely pay more attention to him for his gift this time.

It will be a step closer to replace the position of prime minister in the future.

Just as Qin Shihuang was about to open his mouth to agree, Li Si jumped out first.

"and many more!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is against the rules!"

"The matter of food has always been in charge of by Sinon. Ye Xuan is only a general guarding the palace, not an official under the command of the chief minister. How can he manage this matter?"

"Your Majesty, this is really inappropriate."

Li Si was afraid that Qin Shihuang would agree to let Ye Xuan be in charge of these two high-yielding crops.

It would be a great achievement if Ye Xuan planted these two high-yield crops well and spread them throughout Daqin.

Ye Xuan might be promoted again in the future.

The status in Qin Shihuang's heart is getting higher and higher.

Li Si must not sit back and watch this happen.

"There is indeed something wrong."

Qin Shihuang stroked his beard and nodded slowly.

There was hesitation on his face.

"Your Majesty, the potato seeds and sweet potato seeds were provided by the minister, and I have experience in planting them."

"If you leave this matter to others."

"They don't have planting experience. If they destroy this batch of seeds, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Ye Xuan said.

Qin Shihuang's face was shaken.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are so precious.

It is a fetish that can save tens of millions of people in Daqin from starvation.

Wouldn't it be bad if planting failed and popularization failed?

"Your Majesty, you must know that I don't have many potatoes and sweet potato seeds on hand."

"Weichen can't just sit back and watch them who have no experience in planting destroy these seeds."

Ye Xuan pretended to be heavy.

He put on a show.

In fact, he already has a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Even if the people at Si Nong's side don't know how to plant, it doesn't matter if they destroy a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Ye Xuan's storage capacity of potatoes and sweet potatoes is enough for them to successfully grow these two crops.

But Ye Xuan didn't tell them about it.

If it is informed, I am afraid it will not be so easy to take the credit.

Qin Shihuang was already moved at this time.

It doesn't matter that Ye Xuan is not from Si Nong.

Those who can do some things live there.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"If everyone can interfere with the duties of other officials, then the entire court will be in chaos!"

"Since Mr. Ye knows how to plant, you can ask him to hand over the technology to Si Nong."

"Master Ye doesn't need to bother so much to arrange the planting himself."

Li Si came to the bottom of the pot.

It is impossible for him to let Ye Xuan take over the planting of these two high-yielding crops.
