Chapter 172 In the future Great Qin, everyone is like a dragon The First Emperor Ying Zheng was very strong, and he soon broke several corns.
In the process of breaking the corn, he discovered that the yield of corn per acre was very high.
There will be at least one corn cob on a corn tree, and if there are more, there will be two or three.
He held a corn cob in his hand and looked it up and down.
This was his first time seeing this kind of crop. No matter how you look at it, it feels novel.
He curiously peeled off the green outer skin of the corn cob. After peeling off the layers of green skin, he found that the corn cob was full of small golden particles.
This point attracted the First Emperor Ying Zheng even more.
immediately.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "This corn cob smells faintly of fragrance. It is really a magical crop."
Now, he finally understood why Hu Hai was so greedy that he drooled in the hall yesterday.
The words of the First Emperor Ying Zheng fell into Zhao Che's ears.
So, Zhao Che said very cheerfully: "Brother Coachman, since you like these corn cobs, when I go back later, I will bring some home for you to cook and eat."
"color!"
After hearing Zhao Che's promise, Emperor Ying Zheng broke the corn with more energy.
However, what puzzled him very much was that he didn't know how to eat this corn.
He looked at Zhao Che and asked: "Sir, what are the ways to eat this corn? Tell me?"
"Brother Che Fu, the easiest way to eat corn is to steam it directly in a pot or boil it in water. Of course, it can also be cooked in a hot pot. In addition, you can also add some when stewing meat."
Zhao Che introduced him and talked eloquently.
"That's it. Thank you sir for your advice."
After hearing this, the First Emperor Ying Zheng nodded in realization.
At the same time, he had already begun to wonder in his mind how to ask the cooks from Shangshi Division to make corn when he returned.
During their conversation,
Wang Jian and Young Master Hu Hai, who were also busy breaking corn, were also listening to their conversation very carefully with their ears bent.
When the young master Hu Hai heard that Zhao Che was willing to give his father some corn,
It also aroused his desire,
He also looked at Zhao Che pitifully, wanting Zhao Che to give him some corn.
However. It seemed that Zhao Che didn't mean this at all.
"Why are you being lazy? Break the corn quickly?" Seeing Hu Hai in a daze, the First Emperor Ying Zheng directly reprimanded him sternly.
"It's unfair, I've been saying goodbye."
Young Master Hu Hai felt a little aggrieved and said.
He said and continued to work.
But my heart was a bit broken.
He followed his father on a tour incognito. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to have a meal at Zhao Che's house and taste the sweet potatoes and corn that he longed for.
Who would have imagined that I didn’t even taste a bite, but instead I was dragged here to do farm work.
Although Wang Jian is over 60 years old, he is very energetic and harvests corn very quickly.
Every time he thought about how corn might benefit countless people in Great Qin in the future, his whole body seemed to have unlimited power.
In addition to Zhao Che, First Emperor Ying Zheng, Young Master Hu Hai, and Wang Jian, the other ones harvesting corn were also the royal family members of Zhao Che's mansion.
Because there are so many people, the corn harvest is very fast.
At this time, the First Emperor Ying Zheng stood directly in front of Zhao Che and asked the two questions that concerned him most.
"Sir, what do you think the yield of this corn is?"
After Ying Zheng asked, he looked at Zhao Che expectantly.
"The yield per mu has not been carefully calculated. The yield per mu is at least 1000 kilograms. If it is more, it can reach 1500 kilograms."
After hearing Ying Zheng's doubts, Zhao Che gave him some answers.
The voice fell.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng froze on the spot with his mouth agape.
what! More than 1000 catties per mu?
How can it be?The First Emperor Ying Zheng once suspected that he had heard wrongly.
because Today, the most productive crop in Daqin only yields two to three hundred kilograms per mu.
Immediately, the first emperor Ying Zheng asked: "Sir, what did you just say? How many kilograms per mu?"
"Well, the yield per mu is more than 1000 kilograms." Zhao Che repeated.
The voice fell.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was experiencing an extremely strong shock in his heart.
"Unbelievable."
"The yield per mu is more than 1000 kilograms, which can be called a fairy crop."
Ying Zheng sighed with shock on his face.
As the emperor of Qin, he was most concerned about the yield of crops.
If the output can increase, there will be no more famines in the Qin Dynasty, and fewer people will starve to death in the world.
If the people have full stomachs and live a stable life, they will naturally not rebel again.
With crops with high yields, everyone in Great Qin will be like a dragon in the future.
"Sir, is this corn easy to grow?? It must take a lot of effort to cultivate a crop with such a high yield."
Ying Zheng said, his face showing a bit of sadness.
"This worry is really unnecessary. Corn is almost the best crop to cultivate. It only needs to be sown and fertilized on time, and watered appropriately. However, corn is a drought-tolerant crop and is suitable for planting in large areas."
Zhao Che explained it to him very patiently.
"Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!"
After hearing Zhao Che's explanation, the first emperor Ying Zheng was so excited that he said the word "cai" three times in a row.
It sounds like the crops grown today are easier to cultivate than the people of Great Qin.
High yield and easy to cultivate.
After realizing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed brightly.
All the conversations between Ying Zheng and Zhao Che fell into Wang Jian's ears.
When Wang Jian heard that the corn could produce more than 1000 kilograms per mu, he also looked shocked.
After hearing that corn was very easy to cultivate, he became even more excited.
In the future, if Da Qin fights against the Huns again, it will no longer have to worry about food and grass.
It seems that in the future, Great Qin will become more and more powerful, and the people's lives will become more and more prosperous.
"Brother Coachman, it's just corn that makes you so excited, as well as sweet potatoes and potatoes." After seeing the excited reaction of Emperor Ying Zheng, he smiled.
"Sir, you mean that sweet potatoes and potatoes can surpass corn?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was so smart, he quickly understood the meaning of Zhao Che's words.
but,
After he finished speaking, he was a little doubtful again.
The yield of corn is already so high.
Are there any crops that can surpass corn in yield? ?
"Yes. The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is much higher than that of corn."
Zhao Che nodded and explained calmly.
"hiss"
Hearing this, the First Emperor Ying Zheng took a breath of air. It turns out that the yield per acre of potatoes and sweet potatoes is higher than that of corn.
incredible,
After thinking of this, the First Emperor Ying Zheng couldn't wait to see what potatoes and sweet potatoes looked like.
He suggested: "Sir, how about we go harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes for a while now?"
"Okay, this old man is very strong, let him go with him. As for this little kid, he will continue to stay here to break the corn."
Zhao Che told him his arrangement.
