In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

Then, under the escort of Da Qin soldiers, Ying Zheng led the civil and military officials to the rice fields. On the way, he kept looking back at the machine harvester following them, sighing constantly.

In front of the rice fields, many farmers looked very nervous.

When he saw Ying Zheng and others, he immediately knelt down.

Ying Zheng waved his hand to let them stand down, and asked a few questions related to the rice fields with concern.

These farmers know everything they know and talk about it.

I even felt extremely honored to be able to answer Ying Zheng's questions and receive his attention.

After understanding the general situation, Ying Zheng also briefly talked with these people, and then directly asked people to take over the nearby rice fields.

"Master Gongshu, now it's your turn to perform for everyone."

"As ordered!"

Gongshu Qiu responded with a smile, then stepped onto the mechanical harvester, and cooperated with the other two Gongshu disciples to control the mechanical harvester into the rice fields.

When the farmers standing aside saw this scene, their hearts tightened, fearing that the strange thing would accidentally damage the rice fields they had worked hard to take care of for more than two months.

But even if they were worried, they didn't dare to have any opinions.

Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. The mechanical harvester was specially built for harvesting crops.

Although it was the first time it was used, Gong Shuqiu spent a lot of effort on this thing.

Everyone only saw the mechanical harvester rolling a bunch of rice inside, and then heard a clicking sound. Soon the ears of rice and the straw were cut off together, and fell into a large carriage behind the harvester.

"It can actually be used to harvest crops!"

"This speed is really fast!"

Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but start talking, looking shocked.

Hearing is one thing, but seeing is another.

In addition to being concerned about the effect of the harvester, some people also noticed that the harvested rice seemed to be very different from the rice they had seen before, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Ying Zheng was also staring at this place intently, wishing he could go up and control the harvester himself.

But due to his identity, he could only wait patiently.

Two quarters of an hour is not a very long time, but to this group of Great Qin natives, it is like a year.

They watched with their own eyes as Gong Shuqiu drove a mechanical harvester to harvest the rice in the fields at an incredible speed.

Those farmers were immediately dumbfounded.

"Is it all over now? How could it be so fast!"

"If we also have this kind of strange mechanism, wouldn't we be able to do the same as them? How much effort this can save!"

The farmers' worries at the beginning have evolved into their eyes shining brightly when they see the harvester.

When Gong Shuqiu came down from the office, he shuddered and deliberately stayed away from the farmers, then looked at Ying Zheng with a smile.

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Gongshuqiu, you did a good job this time, it's really a great achievement!"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I don't dare to take credit for this. It was Master Bai Yuan who gave me guidance. During this period, Master also helped me a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to invent this mechanical harvester."

Gong Shuqiu was very honest and did not dare to take all the credit on himself. He pragmatically gave the main credit to Bai Yuan.

He knew that to Da Qin, being a public loser was nothing, but Bai Yuan was different.

Even if he gives up his current merits, as long as he continues to support Bai Yuan and be on good terms with Bai Yuan, is he afraid that he will not have the chance to make meritorious deeds?

I'm afraid those who get the credit will get a soft hand.

When Ying Zheng heard what Gong Shuqiu said, he was not too surprised and just smiled heartily.

"You all have merit and deserve rewards!"

"But now let's see what the output of this acre of land is!"

As soon as Ying Zheng gave the order, someone immediately came forward and weighed the grain output in an orderly manner.

And Ying Zheng also knew how much food could be produced from one acre of land here.

These data had appeared in memorials and other records, and Ying Zheng just read them once and wrote them down.

Seeing the soldiers busy, Ying Zheng asked Bai Yuan curiously.

"Sir, how much grain does this acre of land produce?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took out a folding fan from somewhere, flicked it, and opened the fan with a swish sound, looking like a handsome gentleman, which made everyone else look stunned.

"I have investigated before and found that the original yield of the land here was only about one and a half stones per mu, so increasing it tenfold should not be a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately started talking.

"Ten times! That's not fifteen stones!"

"How is this possible? That's fifteen stones! If he said it would be doubled, I would believe three or four stones. Fifteen stones, that would be too outrageous!"

"That's it!"

Bai Yuan was not angry after listening to these people's discussions.

One stone in Da Qin only weighed about sixty kilograms in later generations, and one and a half stones only weighed ninety kilograms. However, the yield per acre of [Weakened Spirit Valley] was more than a thousand kilograms, so it was easy to increase it tenfold.

Facts speak louder than words. When the weighing is over, these unbelievers will automatically shut up.

Just because these people don't believe it doesn't mean that Ying Zheng doesn't believe it.

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, he was so excited that he almost made a fool of himself.

The hands under the robe were squeezed tightly until the fingers turned white, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

After waiting for a while, a soldier and others next to him confirmed that the weighing results were correct before coming forward to report.

"Reporting to the king, the weighing results are out..."

As he spoke, the soldier actually panted a little.

Ying Zheng looked a little impatient: "Don't hesitate when you speak. What's the result?"

"As a result... the yield from this acre of land reached 20 shi!"

"How many?"

Even before Ying Zheng could react, other ministers could not sit still.

"Did you know that lying about the results is a serious crime!"

Ying Zheng also squinted his eyes, unable to believe the result for a moment.

"My subordinates don't dare! I have confirmed the results many times and there is absolutely no mistake!"

The soldier quickly explained himself.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Okay! Twenty stones! Okay! Great Qin is really lucky to have this magical rice!"

All the ministers also congratulated Ying Zheng, and at the same time, it could be seen that the expressions on their faces were actually very complicated.

They never expected that such an outrageous number reported by Bai Yuan was not even the limit.

If the grain yield of twenty stones per mu can be promoted throughout Da Qin, it can directly increase Da Qin's grain output by more than ten times.

It used to take five acres of land to feed one person, but now one acre of land can feed two to three people. The gap is huge.

In a few years, it will be possible to summon an army of millions at will without any pressure.

"I have sent an order to dispatch 10,000 people from the Lantian Camp to station in Lantian County, and take care of the immature rice fields day and night. These are the future of Great Qin, and there is no room for any mistakes!"

Ying Zheng immediately increased the importance of these rice fields and did not hesitate to mobilize an additional 10,000 troops to guard these rice fields.

What Ying Zheng is most worried about now is that there is no airtight wall in the world. If other countries knew that Qin had obtained such super-high-yielding rice, they would probably be jealous.

At that time, there will definitely be no shortage of overt and covert actions against Qin's conspiracies.

But Ying Zheng was already prepared. Whoever dared to reach out would be chopped off by him.

Chapter 467 Technology can change life, and black technology can allow people to live in heaven

Lantian County, which was originally a very important military town in the Qin Dynasty, became even more heavily guarded due to an order from Ying Zheng.

And because it was time for dinner, Ying Zheng and others were going to have a meal at Lantian Camp to try out the taste of this high-yielding grain.

So these soldiers suffered a lot and needed to thresh the grain quickly.

In the main tent of Lantian Camp, Ying Zheng held a banquet and sat with several of his confidants and some important officials of Great Qin.

Bai Yuan was also present, and occupied the most distinguished position under Ying Zheng.

Bai Yuan himself didn't want to be in the limelight, but in this situation, no one dared to take this position, so he had no choice but to do his part.

"In the military camp, the food is not as good as in the palace, so everyone just makes do with it."

Life in the military camp was difficult, even at Lantian Camp.

If Ying Zheng hadn't come, there wouldn't have been much meat, let alone fine wine.

But no one present dared to complain.

Compared with the food and wine, what is more important is the position. The people who can be in this camp are those who are deeply trusted and valued by Ying Zheng.

This honor is something that officials outside can only ask for.

Besides, they stayed here not for the delicacies, but for the rice that had just been harvested.

Soon, the much-anticipated rice was steamed and served.

Ying Zheng shrugged slightly and swallowed.

"This smells so good!"

Except for Bai Yuan, everyone present could not move their eyes away.

It's not like they've never eaten rice before, but they've never smelled such a fragrance.

The fresh and natural smell penetrates everyone's noses, like a magic power, which makes people feel fascinated.

"Hurry up and give me a bowl!"

Ying Zheng didn't care about the majesty of the king, so he quickly asked someone to fill a bowl and bring it to him.

In this military camp, he was not afraid of anyone poisoning him.

But others were not so big-minded, but they did not dare to say such words that ruined the atmosphere. Instead, they used practical actions to send signals to Ying Zheng.

Several discerning officials followed Ying Zheng, asked someone to give him a bowl of rice, and then took the lead in pulling him up, extremely fast.

This invisibly also gave Ying Zheng a signal of safety.

Although he does not care about his image, he can get Ying Zheng's favor. Even if he can't see the benefits now, it is enough to leave a little impression on Ying Zheng's heart.

And after these people took a bite, they were stunned immediately, but it shocked the others.

"What's going on? Could it be that this meal..."

“This food is so delicious!”

Before they could guess, those people suddenly let out an exclamation.

The rice cooked by [Weakened Linggu] tastes fresh and sweet. It is sticky and chewy in the mouth. The texture and taste are the best among the best.

Ying Zheng laughed and cursed a few words, and then tasted the long-awaited fragrant rice with confidence.

After just taking a bite, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he started to eat without caring about his appearance.

After the meal, Ying Zheng's appetite was so great that he actually ate two more bowls than usual. He didn't put down his chopsticks until he couldn't eat any more.

Although there is no side dish here, but with the quality of the rice, it is not a problem to show off a few bowls.

Even Gai Nie, a handsome young man who usually has an indifferent face and looks very cold, also showed off a few bowls of rice and still had some unfinished thoughts.

"As expected of Mr. Baiyuan, this meal is the most delicious meal I have ever had."

Dishes aside, this rice is absolutely the best in the world.

Bai Yuan nodded calmly.

"As long as the king is satisfied."
