Zhao Heng didn't say it thoroughly, but the people present were not stupid, and they quickly understood.

In the entire Great Qin, who doesn't know that being an official is the best way out?

But how many people can be officials?

Even, Daqin's 20-level military merit title system clearly tells all the people that as long as you have the ability, you can all be added to the ranks.

It's a pity that there are only a few people in the whole Great Qin who can get titles, especially those who are enough to rank in the court.

In the same way, it is true that businessmen can make money more easily than farmers, but how many businessmen can really make a lot of money?

Especially giants like Ba Qing and Wu Shilu, if they want to reach their level, it is not much easier than being the prime minister of Great Qin.

Zhao Heng still had some words, but he didn't take them out now.

For example, if there are 360 lines, the best in the industry, in the near future, if the land is planted well, it will even be richer than most ordinary merchants.

What's more, in Daqin, if you farm well, you can even be knighted, I believe that by that time, the people's enthusiasm for farming will not only not decrease, but will increase even more.

"Zhao Xiang, there is still something unclear about this appearance."

At this time, Li Si said to Zhao Heng again: "If it is really as Zhao Xiang said, in the future, the people of Daqin will no longer worry about having enough to eat, and even all the farmers will have a large amount of surplus grain left, it is conceivable that at that time, whether it is the treasury or the warehouses of those merchants, they will be filled with sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and hybrid rice." ”

"Year after year, how can this food be solved?"

Zhao Heng glanced at Li Si with a strange look when he heard this, this guy is worthy of being a famous face in history, although he has the intention of competing with him, but the questions raised are indeed very practical.

"At this point, we need to activate the market economy and let the whole Great Qin digest all the surplus grain."

Zhao Heng groaned and said: "Moreover, when the people are full, we have to find a way to let them eat better, take sweet potatoes as an example, not only can they be eaten raw, but they can also be roasted, boiled, steamed, and even ground into sweet potato flour, dried into sweet potatoes, made into sweet potato noodles, and so on." ”

He is very confident that he will build the Great Qin of this era into a big foodie empire like later generations.

After waiting for the court, he would ask Shuang and Xi and other guards to sort out a recipe from later generations, as well as the preparation methods of various foods, and then promote it to the whole Great Qin.

Of course, hot pot and skewers must not be missing.

As he spoke, Zhao Heng suddenly took out more than a dozen dried sweet potatoes from his cuffs and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you don't dislike it, you can taste these dried sweet potatoes." ”

He has seen in many film and television dramas in later generations that when the ministers go to court, they basically stand for several hours at a time, and if their legs are tired or not, they will definitely be hungry.

In addition, he usually has the habit of eating snacks, so before he came, he couldn't help but put some dried sweet potatoes in his sleeve pocket, and just before entering the Qilin Palace, he secretly stuffed a few into his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Li Si and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

This prime minister actually brought food to the court?

After everyone came back to their senses, they couldn't help but glance at Yingzheng above, but found that His Majesty's face was not only not angry, but showed a faint smile.

It is conceivable how honored His Majesty is to this young prime minister.

At this moment, whether it was Li Si, Zhao Gao, or other ministers, they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.

Then, Li Si and the others took the dried sweet potato from Zhao Heng's hand, hesitated slightly, and then directly put it in their mouths and chewed it.

"Li Xiang, how does it taste?"

Zhao Heng asked towards Li Si.

"Sweet, chewy, delicious!"

Li Si nodded repeatedly.

The other ministers were also eating at the moment, squinting their eyes and nodding.

"This is just dried sweet potatoes, if you have a chance in the future, I will invite you to eat pork stewed vermicelli and roasted sweet potatoes."

Zhao Heng smiled lightly.

"Zhao Xiang, these delicacies are all made from sweet potatoes?"

At this time, Right Prime Minister Feng Qujian suddenly asked.

"Not bad!"

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Is it easy to make?"

Feng Qujian asked again.

"It's not difficult, in my White Jade City, every household knows how to make it."

Zhao Heng said affirmatively.

"Zhao Xiangzhi's sweet potato is really a divine object!"

Feng Qujian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"If Feng Xiang encounters such food in the streets and alleys, is he willing to pay for it and enjoy it?"

Zhao Heng smiled slightly, and asked towards Feng Qu.

"If the price is right, the real picture will naturally buy it."

Feng Qujian nodded.

"When there are more people buying, there will be less and less grain in the merchants' warehouses, and then they will buy new grain from the farmers again, and in the long run, the merchants can make money, and the farmers can also make money."

Zhao Heng continued.

Hearing his words, all the ministers, including Li Si, fell silent.

Clearly, they have been convinced.

Even Li Si had to admit that Zhao Heng's words were very reasonable.

Next, under the auspices of Zhao Heng, the ministers discussed the details of how to encourage business.

As for Ying Zheng, who has been sitting on the top, he interjected two sentences from time to time to express support for Zhao Heng.

……

Ten days passed quickly.

Zhao Heng took Shuang Hexi and more than a dozen other guards to walk on the streets that were becoming more and more prosperous and lively.

He didn't just go out shopping out of boredom, but wanted to see how the various new foods he focused on promoting had repercussions among the people.

He can clearly see that many restaurants already have roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, and even pork stewed vermicelli available.

What caught his eye the most was that he actually saw several newly opened hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants.

Zhao Heng asked Shuang to buy a roasted sweet potato and tasted it, it was not only sweet but also glutinous, and the taste was no worse than that of his own baked one.

"It's a constant wait!"

"The prime minister is here!"

"Meet Zhao Xiang!"

"Ten thousand years of agricultural saints!"

"Ten thousand years of food!"

……

At this moment, suddenly the surrounding crowd was in a commotion, and they quickly gathered towards Zhao Heng.

Clearly, someone recognized him.

The people saluted Zhao Heng one by one, and some even cried with joy and kowtowed to him in gratitude.

Zhao Heng looked confused, he finally had a private interview, and he was recognized so quickly?

And, when did he have another name for eating?

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Heng waved his hand towards the crowd with a smile on his face and spoke.

To be honest, the enthusiasm of the people made him feel a little moved and gratified.

In fact, the people's requirements are not high, as long as you can make them well-fed and warm, have a place to live, and live a stable life, then they will die for you.

Let's ask, if everyone can have enough food and clothing, who will rebel?

The people of this era are really simple, and their gratitude and recognition have given Zhao Heng the motivation to reform.

Even if everything he has to do next will make him face endless troubles and even life and death crises, it will be worth it.
