Chapter 3: The Artifact That Shocked Lao Zhao
"Xiao Langjun, the Moutai wine we drank just now was made by you?"
Lao Zhao's gaze looked directly at Zhao Heng and asked.
"I do have a distillery here, and although it doesn't taste as good as Moutai, it's much better than the ones you drink outside, and it's the same as napkins, I can have as much as you want."
Zhao Heng smiled and nodded.
"My Daqin is short of food, isn't it too wasteful for you to brew so much fine wine?"
Lao Zhao's brows furrowed slightly.
"The lack of food in Daqin does not mean that I am the same here."
Zhao Heng shook his head and said: "The rice planted by the people of the Walled City not only crops twice a year, but also yields nearly ten stones per mu, as well as the potatoes and sweet potatoes you just eat, which are also new grains with extremely high yields, with a yield of more than twenty stones per mu. ”
When he first crossed over, he had already found out.
In terms of eating, Daqin is really far inferior to later generations.
The staple food is six grains, namely millet (yellow rice), millet (millet), rice (rice), sorghum (glutinous millet), wheat (wheat), and corn (barley), and millet is the main food.
In terms of vegetables, there are only sunflower (winter amaranth), weed (bean sprout leaves), shallots (scallion), leeks, shallots, adzuki beans, and soybeans (soybeans).
Fruits are relatively abundant, such as peaches, plums, dates, pears, plums, apricots, hazelnuts, persimmons, melons, hawthorns, and mulberries, but they are generally only enjoyed by nobles.
Ordinary people, if they can have millet to fill their stomachs, and add a bowl of beans to cook, it is already a very good day.
If the conditions are better, maybe you can occasionally open the meat and eat a bowl of bibimbap.
I have to mention meat here, even if it is Brother Zheng, he basically only eats six kinds of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, geese, and fish, and the beef among them is basically not eaten by ordinary people.
In addition, the production is mainly cooking, and there is basically no seasoning, so put some salt and ginger, such as the so-called Wuding cooked meat.
After Zhao Heng came here, he not only let all the villagers eat richer and more delicious grains and vegetables, but also brought them chili, soy sauce, vegetable oil and other condiments.
Even the methods of cooking meat have become diverse, such as braised pork, tamales, back to the pot meat, pot wrapped meat, fried bacon and so on.
The most important thing is that he also took out a lot of pig breeding materials and books from the warehouse and distributed them to all the villagers, such as practical pig breeding encyclopedia and postpartum care of sows, so that every household can learn to raise pigs scientifically.
Now, Zhao Heng can proudly say that because of his arrival, the more than 10,000 villagers in the walled city not only have food for everyone, but also meat for everyone to eat, and eating is no longer just to eat well, but also to eat well.
Based on this alone, the entire people of the Walled City will die for him.
Even if he really wants to rise up half a year later, he will definitely get everyone's response and support.
At this time, Lao Zhao and Lao Wang were completely shocked by Zhao Heng's words.
Double-cropping rice with a yield of nearly 10 stone per mu, potatoes and sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 20 stone per mu?
What is this concept?
You must know that Daqin's grain, even when the harvest is excellent, is basically only about one stone and five stones.
Double-cropping rice with a harvest of nearly 10 stones, as well as sweet potatoes and potatoes with a harvest of more than 20 stones, if they were popularized throughout Daqin, what would it be like?
Even Lao Zhao, who has always been very steady, can't help but show excitement in his eyes at this moment.
Since then, there has been no shortage of food in Daqin, and the Qin crossbow battle array is invincible, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, Baiyue, and Lingnan will be destroyed!
"Xiao Langjun, have you ever thought that if you dedicate these three divine objects to the First Emperor, even if according to Qin Law, if you have no military merits and are not knighted, the First Emperor is very likely to make you the Marquis of Guannei."
Old Zhao looked at Zhao Heng with a different look and said in a deep voice.
Such a high-yield new grain is, in his opinion, a well-deserved artifact!
"How could I not have thought that if Brother Zheng could live for more than ten or twenty years, I would definitely be willing to dedicate all of this to him, and even do everything I could to assist him in creating the real Great Qin of the Eternal World."
Zhao Heng nodded slightly and said.
To be honest, when he first came here, he didn't think about rebelling or anything.
Originally, I just thought about selling those materials in the warehouse, becoming a leisurely rich man, and marrying a few wives and concubines, wouldn't it be beautiful.
It turned out that the merchants did not have a good time in this era, and they were cut leeks at the least, and their homes were exterminated at the worst.
Moreover, according to Qin law, under normal circumstances, ordinary people are not allowed to run around casually, if they need to go far away, not only do they need to have a valid reason, but they must also have a test pass.
The test needs to be interpreted separately.
The inspection, which is equivalent to an ID card, is issued by the Lizheng (village head) at the place of household registration.
Biography, equivalent to a letter of introduction, is issued by the pavilion chief (head of the police station) at the place of household registration.
Otherwise, if discovered, they will be fined at least and directly arrested for forced labor, such as building the Great Wall.
Because of this, Zhao Heng had no way to sell goods outside, let alone make a lot of money and become a rich man.
After thinking about it, he finally realized that he seemed to have only one way to go.
So, he began to take out one new thing after another from the warehouse, and the Walled City continued to grow.
Even sent out secret sentinels, distributed in the mountain below the circle of ten miles of various intersections, where anyone appeared, they were directly caught in the cottage, one is to expand the population of the cottage, and the other is to avoid the cottage from being discovered by people with intentions.
During this period, the city guards of the walled city also knocked out several bandit dens.
This is also the main reason why the population of the Walled City has expanded from less than 100 to more than 10,000 in just three years.
Then again, Zhao Heng did all this just to protect himself.
If Brother Zheng can live for more than ten or twenty years, he can take a map of the world from the warehouse and tell Brother Zheng that the world is very big, and the enemies are not only Baiyue, Lingnan, and Xiongnu, but also the Peacock Dynasty not far from the next door.
Further west, there are also the Persian Empire, the Macedonian Kingdom, the Roman Empire, and so on.
He believed that if Brother Zheng knew that the world was so big, he would definitely not be able to resist waving his army westward and fight directly to Alexander.
Finally, there will be a global version of the book on the same track as the literary car, and people all over the world will speak Chinese.
Just imagine, thousands of years later, even if the Chinese people go around the world, the greetings they meet when they meet acquaintances are 'Have you eaten', that picture, what a coke!
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Therefore, Zhao Heng may have to work hard to do these things by himself.
With Brother Zheng in charge of Daqin, he would definitely not dare to move, but after Brother Zheng died, he didn't need to have any scruples.
Anyway, Hu Hai will soon play Daqin badly, and then it will be a chaotic time, and when the time comes, he, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will each take the world by their own ability.
In Chen Sheng's words, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, why can't he Zhao Heng be the emperor?
"Perhaps, it is really possible that he will live another ten or twenty years."
Lao Zhao's eyes flashed slightly, and he said something that made Zhao Heng a little confused.
