Chapter 245: Famous and world-shattering
On the west mountain, there is a crowd of people.
The news that the yield per mu of rice can reach eighty stones has spread far and wide, and many people are curious about whether this news is true or not, or whether Meng Yi deliberately boasted and exaggerated.
Of course, almost everyone doesn't believe that this is true, especially those old farmers who have been heavy all their lives, and they know what the yield per mu is when they plant rice every year.
No, the good gamblers in the city saw the opportunity and set up a gamble on the spot, the content of the gamble was very simple, betting on whether the rice planted by Meng Yi could reach eighty stones.
The odds of the game are 3 to 1 and 30 to 1.
If it can be achieved, it will pay 30 for one; If it is not reached, it will pay three for one.
This game is obviously not optimistic about Meng Yi, otherwise, the odds would not be set so high, a loss of thirty, it is estimated that the person who opened the gambling game knows that this is a sure deal, so he will dare to do so.
"Buy and leave, everyone come and place a bet."
The gamblers stood at the table, kept releasing and shouting, and soon attracted a group of people, the most indispensable boulder gamblers in the world.
I always like to get something for nothing, but I don't know that there is no good thing in the sky that will drop pies.
"I buy Meng Yi and lose."
"I also buy Meng Yi and lose."
"Me too."
"I also buy him and lose."
……
Suddenly, many people who are addicted to gambling have taken out a lot of scattered silver ingots from their arms, although they cannot be used as money, they can be refined to make a silver hairpin or something.
Of course, for gamblers, anyone who can exchange money, whether you are a silver ingot or a gold ingot, they will not refuse.
In just one stick of incense, the gambling game is as high as 5,000 taels, which is not a small number.
Why can a small gamble accumulate so much money in a short period of time? Because in everyone's eyes, this is simply a sure-fire gamble, and what can they miss?
The First Emperor, dressed in civilian clothes, was standing in the distance, and when he saw someone setting up a gambling game here, instead of stopping it, he said to the eunuch beside him: "You take the silver taels." ”
The old slave beside him was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does Your Majesty want to do?" If you want to buy and sell, the old slave will do it for you. ”
"I have all my hands and feet, so why do I need others to do it for me? You can take it. ”
The old eunuch didn't think much about it, so he sent someone to get some silver taels and handed them to him, and after taking the money, the first emperor went straight to the gambling game, and there were still many people betting on Meng Yi to lose at this time.
At this time, the First Emperor took out five hundred taels, slapped them on the table, and said, "I ...... I'm betting on Meng Yi to win!! ”
At this time, everyone was stunned, and they all cast pity on them, and even the person who set up the game said: "This master, you have to think about it, if you lose, the five hundred taels on the table will be gone?" ”
"It's only five hundred taels, I can still afford to lose, do you want to bet?"
"Open the door to do business, how can you refuse guests thousands of miles away, but master, this is a profitable deal, are you sure you want to bet on Meng Yisheng?" The gambler said.
"Where is all this nonsense, hurry up." The First Emperor said impatiently.
"This master is a happy person, please bet."
Syllable!
The First Emperor slapped his hand and bet the money on Meng Yi.
As a result, the First Emperor Yingzheng became the only one in the audience who bet on Meng Yisheng, everyone looked at him like a fool, and many people even shook their heads secretly.
But the first emperor's face did not change, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, his eyes stared into the distance, and at this moment the long-term workers led by Meng Yi had already come down to the field.
Harvesting rice is a chore, in order to be able to prepare the grain as soon as possible, and send troops to attack Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at any time, for this reason, Meng Yi even transferred all the 200,000 troops to their respective mountains.
The soldiers no longer trained, but all bent down to harvest rice in the field, which is not a strange picture.
For Meng Yi to mobilize the army privately, the First Emperor also acquiesced, otherwise, without his order, who would dare to move the army casually?!
Those who mobilize the army without authorization, except for 100,000 urgent matters, can be regarded as plotting against the dynasty for other reasons.
Meng Yi bought all the barren mountains around Xianyang, and now all the rice is planted, and the amount of work is unprecedented.
Fortunately, he has an army under his command, otherwise, I really dare not imagine that the Year of the Monkey can complete such a task, but I am afraid that relying on those long-term workers, it is estimated that the rice harvest will be completed, and I am afraid that it will take next year.
Because of this, Meng Yi germinated the idea of a new type of farm tool, but this matter still needs to be postponed, and it needs to be resolved after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's matter can be resolved.
Meng Yi stood in the field and bowed his head, and said flatly: "Let's start!" ”
After finishing speaking, Hao Jianjian Ma ordered to go down and order all the Meng family to go down to the field to harvest rice, and after giving the order, Hao Jian returned to Meng Yi flatteringly, and held up an umbrella for him.
But seeing Meng Yi glaring at him, he said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"It's hot, and the little one is blocking the sun for the young master."
"Am I such a delicate person? Don't be lazy for me, hurry up and get to work in the field. Meng Yi said sharply.
Hao Jian looked aggrieved and said, "Young master, in fact, I am ...... young."
Before he finished his words, Meng Yi immediately kicked on his buttocks, and Hao Jian's whole body flew out, and he fell directly into the field, and a dog gnawed on the mud.
On weekdays, this thing is just forbearance of stealing and cheating, and now he still wants to fight with himself, which is simply looking for death.
Hao Jian took a bite of loess and looked at Meng Yi with a pitiful look, but instead of sympathy, he got Meng Yi's angry gaze.
"Since the old man died, the young master has become more and more like the master, damn God, you quickly return the former young master to me." Hao Jian shouted angrily in his heart.
As he said, since Meng Tian's death, Meng Yi is no longer hanging around all day long, looking like he doesn't care about himself, and now he has become more and more serious and cold.
Meng Yi is very uncomfortable to watch.
"It's still the previous young master, even if you're lazy, it's nothing." Hao Jian said helplessly.
Before, it was nothing for him to cheat and play tricks, at most he was scolded by the young master, but now, the young master is simply silent, and he does it without saying a word, Hao Jian can't remember how many kicks he took in his ass.
……
As the Meng family went to the field to start harvesting rice, time flashed, and two days passed, and the number of onlookers did not decrease, but increased, and even people near Xianyang heard the news and wanted to find out.
Under Meng Yi's command, it can be said that the harvest of rice was carried out in an orderly manner, and the entire process from harvesting to extracting rice grains was completely under Meng Yi's control.
It can be said that under his control, its efficiency has increased by half, which can be described as twice the result with half the effort.
With a flick of his fingers, it is time to weigh the results, whether as Meng Yi said, the yield per mu can reach eighty stones, and the results will soon be revealed.
For this reason, the first emperor even brought in all the officials such as Zhisu Neishi, Taicang Order, Taicang Cheng, and Pinghuai Order and Pinghuai Cheng.
Among them, there are also many grain bank bosses who are also involved.
The purpose is simple, that is, to know whether the result is true or false.
One acre of rice can be tested quickly, and in order to ensure the correctness of the data, they measured 100 acres of land, and obtained an average to make a balanced result.
Zhisu Neishi, Taicang Ling and others are all calculating rice production.
The others waited quietly for the results, and after about half a day, Zhisu Neishi said, "The results are out." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and instantly gathered around a group of people, who couldn't wait to know what the result was.
So, in the midst of thousands of calls, the internal history of Zhisu announced the results: "The rice produced by the Meng family yields 90 stone per mu. ”
Rumble!
As soon as the news came out, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, slashing at everyone's body.
Ninety stones?!
Ten stones higher than previously expected, this result was beyond everyone's expectations, including Meng Yi himself.
However, Meng Yi quickly regained his composure, it is very likely that the fertilizer made before has played a role, due to the short time, it is good to be able to increase the production by ten stones in a short time.
"Your Excellency, you can't be miscalculated, can you? How can the yield per mu be so high? ”
The speaker, the gambler who set up the bet here, was stunned when he learned the result, and if that was the case, he would have lost badly.
Not only did he not earn the money, but he even had to lose his old capital, is this just a loss of his wife and a soldier? !
"Are you questioning Ben-sama's ability to count?"
"Of course not, the little ones just think it's too incredible."
Not only did he think that if they hadn't counted it several times, otherwise, a group of people would have felt that they were hallucinating, otherwise, how could the result be like this?!
It's a pity that this is the case, they did not miscalculate, nor did they hallucinate, but the real ninety stones, not bad at all, absolutely not wrong.
As soon as this result comes out, it will inevitably cause a sensation, and even the entire empire will tremble for it, the rice planted by the Meng family has been obtained 90 stones, what an incredible number.
Among them, the happiest is the first emperor, if it can be mass-produced, why worry about the food shortage of the empire, the implementation of this law in the world, will inevitably make the empire richer.
Meng Yi really deserves to be his lucky star, this one person is worth thousands of troops, this sentence is definitely not a lie, but a real truth.
At this time, the First Emperor came to the gambling table and said to the gambler: "May you lose your gambling and take the money!" ”
"This lord, do you know that in the eyes of our gamblers, the money in hand is in and out."
The gambler's face turned and he began to play tricks.
"Listening to you, do you want to cheat and deny it?"
"What if you don't admit it, what can you do with me?!"
The First Emperor turned around and said lightly to Yun Yun, the plainclothes guard beside him, "Kill him!" ”
