Chapter Eighty-Seven: For the sake of Great Qin

Listening to Xiao Zhengtai's words, everyone suddenly realized.

It seems that this is really the case!

These animals are tended to by many people every day, and it costs a lot to provide different food according to their habits!

Every now and then, a few die of natural causes!

Releasing them into the forest will also increase the variety of animals, which is indeed much better than keeping them here!

Knowing the little guy's good intentions, Yingzheng's anger gradually dissipated, "Okay, it's me who blames you!" ”

The peak turned around, and the hope that Li Si and the others had just ignited was suddenly extinguished.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed beneficial for my Great Qin to release those precious animals into nature, but the little boy also killed some of them, which is beyond saying, if there are a few more, it will be faster to breed if you can't keep them!"

Feng Zheng refused to give up this opportunity, and still grasped Xiao Zhengtai's mistakes.

"That's right, in order to satisfy his appetite, the little boy delayed the reproduction of the species!"

Zhao Cheng also echoed.

Even if this crime can't kill this kid, they can be reprimanded and reprimanded, and their hearts can be much more comfortable.

"This son never does anything that harms the interests of Daqin, and the reason why he killed those animals is also for the sake of my Daqin!"

Xiao Zhengtai still has that proud expression.

"Haha......! Little boy, don't be forceful, when will eating become for the sake of Daqin? If we say that, aren't we thinking about Great Qin every day? ”

Li Xin seemed to have heard some joke, and suddenly burst out laughing.

However, as soon as the tense atmosphere eased, everyone was still adjusting their mood, and no one echoed it at all, and his laughter was very abrupt.

Finally, I shut my mouth in embarrassment!

"What Ben Childe eats is different from what you eat! Ben Gongzi eats it for the sake of Daqin, and General Li eats it for the sake of making dung! ”

"Poof......

"Haha......"

Xiao Zhengtai's words made the audience burst into laughter.

Fecal production? That's a really apt word!

"You ......"

Li Xin's old face was flushed with anger.

"Then we would like to hear the reason of the little boy, why is it for the sake of Daqin to eat those precious animals?"

Li Si asked, puffing out his chest.

"Those animals are all alien species, God knows if there are toxins in their bodies, will it be a foreign ulterior motive, send the animals carrying toxins to my Daqin, let them combine with our native animals, and let my country's animals also be infected with toxins, and then either my Daqin animals will be infected and die, or humans will be infected after predation!"

Xiao Zhengtai stared at Li Si with burning eyes, and continued: "Ben Gongzi will kill one of each animal, bleed and test for poison, test whether the soup is poisonous after cooking, and then test its meat, and only release it back into nature after confirming that it is non-toxic, it is a waste, Ben Gongzi will eat the rest of the meat, may I ask the prime minister, is there anything wrong with this son?" ”

After saying that, everyone gasped.

It turned out that these seemingly simple animals contained so many things they didn't expect!

The little boy has done so much for Daqin silently!

If they hadn't come to harvest potatoes today, they might not have noticed!

Li Xin rolled his eyes and lowered his head silently.

No way, there's really nothing to refute.

"Father, after the sons released these animals back into nature, they saw that the land here was fertile, so they planted high-yielding plants such as potatoes and corn here, and ordered people to weed and catch insects, and they grew very vigorously!"

Xiao Zhengtai ran to the cornfield, peeled off the husk of the corn that had dried and yellowed, and said with a smile.

"Corn? What do I see? ”

Ying Zheng hurried over and observed carefully.

When he was in Yunyang, he saw a lot of this thing planted in the yard, but the leaves were still green at that time, and now they are dry and yellow, dehydrated, and it is obvious that the plant is mature.

"Corn is also a staple food, and the yield is slightly lower than that of potatoes, but it is also much, much higher than corn now!"

Even after various hybridizations in later generations, the yield of corn was still very low, let alone in this era.

"Come on, hurry up and harvest!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand behind him with a happy face.

"Yes!"

The soldiers answered, and immediately rushed in to harvest the corn according to Xiao Zhengtai's explanation.

These plants have been systematically improved to not only shorten the growth time, but also increase the yield!

"The peppers over there are also ripe, and they are all picked, and they will all need it for hot pot and barbecue in the future!"

Xiao Zhengtai pointed to a red pepper field not far away.

"Yes!"

"Father, the next thing is the potato!"

"Potatoes? Where is it? I just turned around and didn't see the shadow of the potato! ”

Ying Zheng looked around suspiciously.

If he remembered correctly, those potatoes were round, grayish-black.

But the plants here are all red, yellow, and green, and there is no gray or black at all!

Xiao Zhengtai smiled and said nothing, and directly threw over a hoe, "Father, then!" ”

Ying Zheng was neat, and he grabbed the wooden handle of the hoe with one hand, "What does this mean?" ”

He knew what he had in his hands, but he didn't understand why he had to give himself a hoe.

Isn't this something only used when plowing the land and weeding?

"And voila!"

Xiao Zhengtai walked to the green potato seedlings, looked at the position, and shaved in with a hoe.

With a hard pull, the hoe broke through the ground, bringing out a pile of potatoes the size of an adult's fist.

These potatoes are densely packed together, and many of them are still attached to the seedlings of the potatoes!

"What? Potatoes actually grow in the ground? ”

This undoubtedly surprised everyone present.

Who would have thought that potatoes would be eaten by their roots?

Even if this thing is planted outside the palace, no one will pay attention to it, and I think it's just an ordinary weed!

"That's right!"

Xiao Zhengtai picked the potatoes and threw them aside, and pulled out two more in the soil in the same place.

Zhang Han was curious about the yield of potatoes, lifted his robe, squatted on the ground and counted the quantity, "One, two, three...... Eleven, twelve? ”

The further back he went, the higher the pitch he was, and he seemed to be shocked.

Xiao Zhengtai looked at him like a fool.

As I have said a long time ago, after the yield of potatoes per mu is 3,000 catties, why is this product still with this surprised expression?

"Fourteen, Your Majesty, this potato plant will bear fourteen ......!"

Zhang Han was surprised and delighted, and weighed the weight of these potatoes, "Your Majesty, these potatoes add up to at least a dozen catties!" ”

"One plant has more than a dozen catties?"

Ying Zheng was also very excited after hearing this, raised his head and looked at this small piece of potatoes, and smiled, "Hurry up, come and dig potatoes!" ”

He couldn't wait to know how much fruit this potato could produce, so he picked up the hoe and shaved it like Xiao Zhengtai had just done.

Every time a potato is shaved out, the excitement on his face is palpable.

"Yes!"

All the ministers were ordered, and all of them entered the cultivation base.

But the hoe is limited, so they can only use their hands to dig in the soil!
