Chapter 243: Genius Meng Yi

"Meng Yi, I know that you are angry, but quelling the rebellion is not child's play, you have to think clearly." The First Emperor said.

Hearing these words, Meng Yi's heart did not waver, his heart was already dead at this moment, and at the moment when Meng Tian was killed, there was only anger left in his heart.

If anger can burn, then the anger in his heart is enough to burn the entire land of China.

"The ministers are not even afraid of the Huns, how can they be afraid of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?" Meng Yi said, his expression was firm, and there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"Of course I know your ability, the Huns are much stronger than Chen Sheng's, but now is different from the past, you have to know your current situation." The First Emperor said.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a peasant uprising, and most of the troops under his command were mainly ordinary people, and compared with the powerful Qin army, they could only rout and flee.

However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang occupy the right time and place.

The granaries in Xingyang and the surrounding areas were all occupied by him, and the granaries in various places were in an emergency, and the grain and grass in the imperial treasury could not meet the army's long-distance journey to quell the war.

Even though the Mengjia army has the power of divine soldiers, it cannot solve the food problem, and it is difficult to exert their true strength.

There are clouds in the soldiers: the carriages and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

When sending troops to fight, the most important thing is to ensure the supply of soldiers, if they can't eat enough, let alone fighting, I'm afraid they don't even have the strength to carry guns on horses.

"Your Majesty is worried about the problem of food and grass?"

"Yes, Xingyang is the granary of the world, and now it falls into their hands, which is equivalent to choking the throat of the empire, and without sufficient food and grass supplies, it is not easy to send troops." The First Emperor analyzed, "And Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others blocked the news and kept it secret, which shows that they are afraid of the empire, and if they send troops at this time, they are afraid that the rabbit will bite people if they are in a hurry." ”

It is true that they control the grain and grass, and they are also well aware of the terrible strength of the army of the Great Qin Empire, and they can sweep through the six countries in just ten years, how can they be compared to these miscellaneous armies?

Therefore, this is also the main reason why they keep it secret.

The First Emperor thought so.

Meng Yi also saw Ying Zheng's inner thoughts, but he didn't think so, but said, "Then does Your Majesty think they have other intentions?" ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but they are not fools, after the uprising in Daze Township, they quickly occupied Xingyang, Jiujiang and other places, which shows that they are well aware of the importance of these two places, and understand that as long as the grain and grass are controlled, the uprising is equivalent to half the success." Meng Yi said eloquently, he analyzed it based on reason and expressed different views.

"These two people have the ability to gather the rebellious peasants, and naturally know that Xingyang is the world's grain and grass, as long as time is over, when the granaries of the empire are in an emergency, they can defeat the empire without blood."

"Not only that, but the shortage of food and grass in various places will inevitably cause a commotion among the people, and at that time, in the name of 'justice', they will show favor to the people, and they will be able to gather the hearts of the people without much effort.

I have to say that Meng Yi's thoughts can always be unexpected, although he is extremely angry now, his mind is still clear, and he is not carried away by Meng Tian's death.

But what the First Emperor didn't know was that countless times Meng Yi wanted to explode the anger in his heart, but the cruel reality told him that he had to stay calm, otherwise, he would not be able to mention the eldest brother for revenge.

After hearing this, the first emperor fell into deep thought, and only then did Meng Yi's words make sense, but now the granaries in various places have been in an emergency, and many prefectures and counties have sent invitations, which is not the case.

"What you said just now does make sense, well, I decided to send troops to fight against Chen Sheng and Wu Guang." The First Emperor was not a hesitant person, and whenever he made a decision, he immediately implemented it.

But a new problem came again, Ying Zheng made the decision to send troops, but at the moment, the grain and grass in the treasury were only enough for the Qin army for a month, and I am afraid that as soon as the army arrived in Xingyang, the grain and grass would be cut off, and it would be impossible to make a long journey.

The First Emperor wanted to speak, but Meng Yi expected it first, and he said, "Your Majesty is worried about the unsustainable grain and grass? ”

Ying Zheng was stunned, Meng Yi, this kid is really a ghost, he knows everything he thinks clearly, he can't help but sigh in his heart: "Those who know me, Meng Yi also." ”

"Exactly."

"If Your Majesty is worried about this matter, you can relax, but do you remember what I told you before to settle the matter of grain and grass?" Meng Yi asked suddenly.

"Of course I do."

How could Yingzheng forget about this matter? Above the court, Meng Yi boasted about Haikou, saying that it was to solve the problem of the urgent granary of the empire, and at that time, many courtiers felt that Meng Yi was boasting.

Even Feng Quji, who has always valued Meng Yi, felt that Meng Yi's words were a bit overblown, flashy, and disappointing.

Of course, many people have never reported much hope, and Yingzheng is no exception.

"What if the minister says that the problem of food has been solved?" Meng Yiyun said lightly.

"Solved!"

The First Emperor, who had always been calm, couldn't help but shout out loudly when he heard this, and the moment he finished shouting, he realized that he was a little out of shape, and immediately covered his mouth and said nothing.

Seeing that the First Emperor was very surprised, Meng Yi said firmly: "Resolved, if nothing happens, this army trip can at least ensure that there will be no shortage of food and grass within half a year." ”

"Half a year? Where did you go to get so much food and grass? ”

You must know that the food expenses of the 200,000 army are definitely not a few, and the grain and grass for half a year is such a huge number.

Putting these aside, Meng Yi has been busy with various things recently, including getting married, etc., but he has never seen where he went to ask for food, but he planted a lot of rice on the barren mountains half a year ago.

At the beginning, when he planted rice on the barren mountain, he was ridiculed by many people.

"Now that the people's homes have long been depleted of food, how can there be more grain and grass? It's not that the ministers have levied it, but the rice grown by their own family has reached the harvest season, and I am afraid that it will not take a few days to get a lot of grain. Meng Yi explained.

Sure enough, the first emperor guessed that he planted the rice in the barren mountains, half a year ago, Meng Yi bought all the barren mountains near Xianyang City, and carried out the reclamation of the barren mountains to plant rice, and now it is indeed the harvest season.

"Even so, just with the rice you planted in the barren mountains, how dare you say that the first half of the year?" The First Emperor asked.

As the king of a country, of course, he is very clear about the yield per mu of the people's homes, even if rice can be planted and raised on the barren mountains, it can't stand the crowd.

Meng Yi said coldly: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, do you know what is the yield of rice per mu of ordinary people?" ”

"If it is a bumper harvest year, the sky is beautiful, and the yield per mu may be twenty stones." The first emperor replied like a stream, "But if the year is barren, the wind and rain are not smooth, but I am afraid that even ten stones may not be available." ”

"Yes, yes."

Meng Yi agreed, and after nodding, he asked again: "Then what is the yield of rice per mu planted by Your Majesty on the mountain?" ”

"How much? Could it be more than twenty stones? ”

Meng Yi snorted and smiled, his expression was very resolute, looking at him like this, the First Emperor said, "Twenty-five stones? ”

"No, less."

Meng Yi shook his head.

"Thirty stones?"

"No, less."

Meng Yi still shook his head.

"Thirty-five stones?"

When the First Emperor shouted this number, he only felt that he must be crazy, what fertile land can produce thirty-five stones.

But Meng Yi shook his head and said, "It's still less." ”

Burst!

The First Emperor only felt a mouthful of blood spit out in his heart, so much is it less? Is it real or fake?

"Forty-five stones?"

It can't be higher, he has been in power so much, and he has never seen so much, and now this number has long exceeded his budget.

However......

To Ying Zheng's surprise, Meng Yi still shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong again." ”

"Still wrong?"

The First Emperor held his forehead and couldn't help but say, he didn't bother to continue guessing, and asked directly: "Don't sell Guanzi, how much is it?" ”

"If you are dissatisfied with Your Majesty, the rice planted by the minister can get eighty stones per mu."

Burst!!

The First Emperor almost didn't catch his breath in one breath, eighty stones?!

"How...... How can it be? Eighty stones? That's four times the annual production. ”

Mo said that Yingzheng was taken aback, and it is estimated that after these words were heard by those ministers in the court, they would definitely cause a sensation in the government and the opposition.

Eighty stones?

They had never seen so much rice per mu in their lives.

"Meng Yi, how did you achieve such a large yield per mu?" The First Emperor was a little excited.

If this terrible number can really be reached, why worry that the people of the world have no food to eat?! There is no need to worry about the shortage of granaries in various places, when the time comes, the people of the world will only have endless food.

Thinking of this, the First Emperor couldn't help but be excited in his heart, no wonder he was like this, anyone would think so.

"There's no trick, it's just that the rice seedlings used by the ministers are different, which is why they produce so much rice." Meng Yi explained simply.

Even if you tell him what "hybrid rice"? I'm afraid that he can't understand it, so it's better to say something easy to understand than to say more.

"No way, if there is such a seedling, how can others not know about it?"

"Others naturally don't know, because this kind of seedling was cultivated by ministers." Meng Yi said.

The First Emperor was completely stunned, in the past two years, Ying Zheng has seen miracles again and again, whether it is a waterwheel or coarse salt purification.

These strange things, which have never been seen before, are actually from the hands of the same person, and now, Meng Yi has researched seedlings with a yield of more than four times the yield per mu, is there nothing in this world that he can't do?

Of course, he can't give birth to a child, no matter how hard he tries, he can't do it, but if he wants to have a child, he must also exert a physical strength.

At this point, the First Emperor still didn't believe it, seeing that he was hesitant, Meng Yi said: "It seems that Your Majesty still has doubts in your heart, since this is the case, why don't Your Majesty wait until the day of harvest to see the difference?" ”

"Good!!"
