At the same time, Bai Zheng's Fuchu.

"It seems that we still underestimate this Li Yang, he actually makes Fusu so trusted."

Bai Zheng heard Gongsun Jing's failure to advise Fusu, and he was slightly frustrated.

Gongsun nodded his head: "In this way, in the matter of increasing grain production, the eldest prince may not stand up against Li Yang." ”

Bai Zheng sneered and shook his head: "You can't say that. ”

"Oh? Could it be that Patriarch Bai thinks that there is still something to be done about this matter? Gongsun Jing was stunned and surprised.

A chuckle appeared on the corner of Bai Zheng's mouth, and said, "Gongsun Shangshu, you must not be too anxious. The reason why Fusu trusts Li Yang is also understandable. After all, his position today can be so stable, all because Li Yang overthrew Zhao Gao and belittled Hu Hai at the beginning, he will naturally trust Li Yang, so it is impossible to easily let Fusu oppose Li Yang. ”

"What does Patriarch Bai mean?" Gongsun Jing was a little confused when he heard this, and he didn't know if there was a turning point in this matter.

Bai Zhengdao: "If you want to create gaps and contradictions between Fusu and Li Yang, it is by no means a day's work. However, we can't not do it because today's things can't be done, so in the matter of increasing grain production, we know that it can't be done, and we have to give a lot of advice, once it may be useless, twice may be useless, but if we continue to say it again and again, will Fusu's heart really not waver at all? ”

When Gongsun Jing heard this, he had to nod in agreement.

Indeed, Fusu just chose to favor Li Yang, which does not mean that he has no ability to judge and think about a thing. If there is no opposition in the DPRK and no one in front of him to persuade him, he will naturally unswervingly support Li Yang. However, if there are endless voices of opposition and persuasion, then Fusu will have to seriously examine whether Li Yang's policy is really feasible.

Moreover, the gap and contradiction between two people, as Bai Zheng said, cannot be created by one thing, but the discord of opinion again and again slowly accumulates.

Therefore, although the admonition to Fusu this time failed, it was not a useless work.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Jing said: "Then Patriarch Yibai, do we have to continue to persuade next?" ”

Bai Zheng nodded: "Of course you have to continue to persuade, not only to persuade, but you had better go to Feng's mansion and ask Feng Zheng to show Fusu the excerpts of those officials in the government who oppose the growth of grain, so that Fusu knows that officials from all over the country are opposing Li Yang." ”

Gongsun Jingyi slapped his thigh: "Yes, how did I forget this." There are a lot of excerpts in the State Council against food *** in various places, and if Fu Su sees it, he will definitely re-examine Li Yang's policy. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Jing couldn't help but give Bai Zheng a thumbs up and praised: "Gao, it's still Patriarch Bai's unique vision." ”

Bai Zheng smiled proudly and waved his hand: "Go ahead, the increase in grain production is of great use to us." ”

Gongsun nodded and was about to leave.

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report, and a few old people asked to see him.

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing were stunned, and Gongsun Jing said: "It must be Gan Zhuang and others." ”

Bai Zheng nodded, and motioned for the butler to let them in.

The Gan family is also a century-old family of the Qin State. Gan Zhuang's ancestor, Gan Long was a famous minister of the Qin Xiangong and Qin Xiaogong period, first the doctor and then the Taishi, was the actual leader of the world, presided over the implementation of the new policy and led the country for a long time, had a meritorious foundation, and was a meritorious hero of the Qin State.

Although the Gan family was greatly suppressed after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Gan family still retained its position in the Qin State after the restoration and overthrow of the Shang Dynasty.

So the Gan family has continued to this day.

If we say which are the leaders of the Qin Dynasty today, it is no exaggeration to say that they are Bai, Wang, Gan and Gongsun, these four families.

Of course, the current Wang family has fallen, Wang Ping, the son of the former prime minister Wang Juan, has been beheaded, and now there are the Bai family, the Gan family and the Gongsun family.

Soon, several old clans walked in, looking a little anxious. And the person who leads is indeed Ganzhuang.

Gan Zhuang is the middle of the imperial history, the ninth secretary.

What is the level of the Imperial History?

If the Supervision Yuan and the State Administration Yuan are regarded as equals, the subordinate officials of the Supervision Yuan, the Imperial History Zhongcheng, because he commands the Imperial History and the Imperial History of the Counties, can order the Imperial History to correct hundreds of officials according to the regulations, and the power is particularly heavy, so it is equivalent to the same level as the Shangshu of the Ministries.

In other words, his Gan Zhuang's status in the court is not lower than that of Sun Jing, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu. This also shows the clan status of their Gan family in the current Qin Dynasty.

As soon as he saw Gan Zhuang, Bai Zheng smiled and said: "Gan Zhongcheng came at the right time, you will go to Feng's Mansion with Gongsun Jing, and let Feng Zheng present to Fusu the opposition of officials from all over the national government to Li Yang's grain production." ”

When Gan Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "No need to go, the overall situation of increasing grain production has now been decided!" ”

"The big picture is decided?"

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing were stunned and confused, and Gongsun Jing said: "Gan Zhuang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gan Zhuang sighed and said, "Xu Fu brought back thousands of stone of novel crops from Shaohao this time, all of which can be cultivated on dry land, and the disadvantages of water conservancy disrepair are no longer a problem. ”

"Gan Zhuang, where did you hear this news, the crops that Xu Fu brought back can triple the grain of Daqin? How is this possible! ”

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing were stunned, and smiled in disbelief, obviously thinking that Gan Zhuang was purely joking.

Regarding the fact that Xu Fu brought back many crops from Shaohao, Chaozhong had actually heard about it for a long time.

However, Shao Hao's crops are no more than a few boats, even if it is a few thousand stones, it is not possible that thousands of stones of grain can be planted in the entire Great Qin.

Gongsun Jing said with a smile: "The thousands of stone of new grain that Xu Fu brought back from Shaohao, even if it can be planted in dry land, it is only enough to grow one county at most, so that the production of the entire Great Qin can be increased by three times, isn't this a fool's dream?" ”

Prior to this, Gan Zhuang had originally thought the same way as Gongsun Jing, but after witnessing the grain brought back by Shaohao in front of the treasurer's door, he had now changed his previous mind.

Therefore, seeing that Gongsun Jing and Bai Zheng didn't believe it, they couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said, "Do you know what kind of grain the crops that Xu Fu transported back from Shaohao are?" ”

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing shook their heads and asked curiously, "What kind of food is it?" ”

Gan Zhuang said: "There are more than a dozen kinds of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on. The corn, as big as a pearl, is 700 stones, and can be planted in 10,000 acres. There are also potatoes, which grow as big as eggs and weigh more than 500 stones, and according to Li Yang, this kind of thing called potatoes can be cut into several pieces and planted. In addition, there is also a sweet potato, which is as big as a fist, and it can grow a rattan seedling one or two zhang long, and only a piece of vine seedling as long as a palm can be planted. Hundreds of stones of sweet potatoes, how many tens of thousands of acres of land can be planted? ”

"What? Rice the size of a pearl? Beans the size of eggs? A fist-thick potato? ”

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

Gan Zhuang and several old clans behind him nodded, and said in unison: "That's right, and Li Yang also asked Ji Kai to distribute all these grains to various provinces, counties and counties, and vigorously cultivate, one stone of new crops can be worth three times the grain chestnut." Sweet potatoes of several hundred stones, after the autumn, can be increased by dozens of times, that is, thousands of stones, and then three times the grain chestnut, it will reach 10,000 stones (1 stone in the Qin Dynasty, about 60 catties in modern times), plus corn, potatoes and more than a dozen other crops, the task of increasing grain production in various places this year can be easily achieved. ”

“…………”

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing were directly stupid.

They never dreamed that things could come to this!

Bai Zheng couldn't believe it: "This ...... How can there be such a big rice, such a big bean, and such a potato grown in such a way in this world! ”

Yes, the size of a pearl, it's completely beyond imagination.

And the kind of potatoes the size of eggs, which can be cut and planted?

What's even more ungodly is that the thing called sweet potato, it is not only big, but according to Gan Zhuang, it is actually planted using vine seedlings. The vine seedlings grown by a sweet potato can be one or two feet long, and only a palm-like vine seedling needs to be taken when planting, which ...... Don't go too far!

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing were both shocked and dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and their hearts were messy......

After a long time, Bai Zhengfang came back to his senses and confirmed: "What you said is the truth? ”

Gan Zhuang and the rest nodded: "I just came from the treasurer's side, those crops transported from Shaohao were seen with my own eyes, and the planting method that Li Yang said was also heard with my own ears, how could there be a void." ”

"This ...... In this way, isn't the increase in grain production really a foregone conclusion? Gongsun Jing smiled bitterly.

Bai Zheng also had an expression of eating, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Even if those crops are large and can be planted in a wide range, but now that time is running out, it is impossible to ensure that all fields are cultivated." ”

When Gongsun Jing heard this, his eyes also lit up: "What Patriarch Bai said is extremely true, the people have run out of time to cultivate the original fertile land, and they have no time to plant those corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the dry land. ”

Gan Zhuang on the side smiled bitterly and said, "You are wrong, I just heard Li Yang personally say to Ji Kai that he has improved the plow, which can greatly speed up the cultivation efficiency, and this kind of plow has been made by He Zhangzai with all his might." ”

Ga!

Bai Zheng and Gongsun Jing stumbled directly and fell to the ground!

All of this, so fucking unexpected!
