Chapter 1560 Rice is born!
Chapter 1560 Rice is born!
Royal Palace.
Imperial study room.
Ying Zheng was holding a pack of good shrimp slices in his hand, and he ate them while handling state affairs and reviewing memorials.
The palace maid next to him smelled the MSG and her greedy saliva was about to flow out.
Two old ministers are meeting below.
"Your Majesty, Prince Shenwei has made a lot of money in the past two months, and he has been inappropriate in his heart. I hope your Majesty is cautious!"
The person who spoke was Chunyu Yue. This old man was worried about the country and the people all day long, doubting this and that.
"oh!"
Ying Zheng ate the one in his hand, looked up at him and continued to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Prince Shenwei wants to take all the wealth in the world. It is a taboo for the ministers! It is a taboo!" Chunyu Yue said excitedly.
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded, still not having too many expressions.
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's investigation, Prince Shenwei has earned at least two million taels of gold in the past two months! With such a large sum of money, you can build another treasury. I'm really worried!" Chunyu Yue raised his hands and raised his hands.
, her face was so excited that she blushed and her neck was thick.
"so much?"
Such a huge amount finally attracted Ying Zheng's attention. He raised his eyebrows, as if he felt a little incredible.
"It's just those white papers and packs of delicious food. It seems that Su Qing has really gotten a lot of good things when traveling to the mainland over the years."
Ying Zheng picked up the memorial in his hand, and it was a piece of white paper. "I really don't know how such a thin paper was made. It was that magical method..."
"His Majesty……"
Chunyu Yue wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng, "Okay, okay, I'm a little tired. I'm going to meditate for a while, you all should step down."
"well……"
"The king of a country is addicted to cultivation, which is not a blessing for the country, but a blessing for the people."
Chunyu Yue buried this passage deeply in his heart, and was about to step down.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and beautiful jade hurriedly ran in with an excited expression on his face, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty! The prince has made new things again!"
"Xiao Qing, what did you say?"
Ying Zheng turned around.
The person who came was Xiao He, the current Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty.
He was excited and came to the imperial front with a trembling expression. "The prince claimed that he had cultivated a kind of rice that could greatly increase the grain output, so that our people of the Qin Dynasty would no longer have to endure hunger!"
"paddy?"
"This guy Su Chen has also studied agriculture?"
Ying Zheng looked confused.
"Okay! This King of Divine Power is so ambitious! As the saying goes, whoever controls food will control the world! He wants to control the world of Qin! The wolf ambition is really wolf ambition!"
Chunyu Yue secretly speculated behind his back.
"How much can the grain yield increase?"
Ying Zheng asked casually, "Double? or double? Is it three times?"
Xiao He looked at him with a smile, and then spit out a number that almost shocked Chunyu Yue's chin, "Thirty times! Your Majesty, it's exactly thirty times!"
"What?!"
Ying Zheng, Chunyu Yue, and several ministers present were all so shocked that they widened their eyes, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"Thirty times, how is this possible!"
"Are the Prime Minister joking? Do you know what it means to increase grain production by thirty times?!"
"I have heard that a farmland in Jizhou produces ten pounds of chestnut rice (small rice) per mu. It is ripe every year. It is already shocking. Could it be that the rice produced by Prince Shenwei produces 300 pounds of rice per mu? "
Chunyu Yue doesn't believe such nonsense at all.
But Xiao He quickly said, "Mr. Chunyu, Prince Shenwei's rice is not as exaggerated as 300 dou per mu, but three ripe a year, and one hundred dou per mu of grain!"
"Three ripens a year, I dare to ask Prime Minister Xiao what kind of rice the Prince Shenwei produces is, and it can be three ripens a year. It is really unheard of the old minister!"
Chunyu Yue still doesn't believe it.
Xiao He was not angry, but just smiled slightly, "Before this, Lord Chunyu had heard of white paper? Have you tasted spicy strips?"
"No!"
Chunyu Yue was quite honest and did not lie in front of the emperor.
"Since that's the case, there is no reason why this hybrid rice does not exist."
Xiao He smiled and turned his eyes to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the prince is the one who creates miracles, and this time he will create another miracle!"
"Okay~ I'll give him land and let him do it. If there is really such rice that produces hundreds of dou per mu and ripens a year, what is the hybrid rice..., it will make my people in Daqin no longer worry about food,
It is also a masterpiece of eternal achievements.” Ying Zheng said.
However, Xiao He did not turn around and leave, but said, "Your Majesty, the prince's original intention is to give this magical rice to the court and let the court grow and develop! He will hand over all the technology and seeds, and will not embezzle them."
"Um?!"
Everyone was surprised. Unexpectedly, the Prince of Divine Power was willing to give such money to the court. Isn't it profitable anymore?
"The prince's enlightenment is so high..."
Xiao He looked at Ying Zheng's relaxed face and couldn't help but admire him.
"Xiao Qing, that guy Su Chen really said that? Do you know the crime of deceiving the monarch?"
Ying Zheng even didn't believe it.
Food can be said to be the importance of the country and the foundation of people!
If you control the food, you can basically control the world!
This hybrid rice yields 100 dou per mu and ripens three times a year, which is simply amazing! No matter how much the yield is, I don’t know how much better than the rime rice!
It is conceivable that by planting such rice on a large scale, you may be able to earn money every day by selling grain!
"Don't worry, your Majesty, these are the prince's original words."
Xiao He smiled and bowed.
“Okay, very good.”
Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, "Then did he make any requests?"
"There is only one request, that is, ask His Majesty to allow him to take this hybrid rice to the Western Regions to plant and sell it there."
"What is this requirement? It's accurate!"
Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and laughed loudly.
My mood was even happier than hearing Su Chen calmed down the rebellion in the three places.
As an emperor, what he fears most is his ministers' rebellion, especially those like Su Chen who have great achievements and shocked the Lord.
If Su Chen hadn't had strong cultivation, he would have probably killed him a hundred times.
In Ying Zheng's view, Su Chen's move was undoubtedly a show of kindness to the emperor...
So, the 100-acre hybrid rice experimental field began to be tested outside Xianyang City. Ying Zheng also went to see it once or twice in person, and expressed his surprise at its growth.
During this period, many people wanted to burn the hybrid rice fields, but they were blocked by Bai Feng Nongyu and the others.
These people, Su Chen didn't need to think about, must be those aristocratic families and landlords.
Su Chen's hybrid rice shook their roots, so they wanted to get rid of Su Chen.
You should know that there are many tenant farmers in the world. In order not to starve to death, they can only rent landlords to rent land. Most of the food they planted through exhaustion throughout the year must be handed over, leaving only a little one.
