Chapter 273: Claiming Land
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we are Huns or Great Qin, the most important thing is to be able to eat enough, so that our family will no longer starve! At present, there is a way to make money for food, we can't just watch and not leave......! ”
The old patriarch expressed his opinion earnestly, "According to those garrisons, Great Qin has undergone great changes in the past year, the people have a lot of opportunities to work, even farming has become easier and simpler, the output of grain has also increased, and every family can fill their stomachs!" Daqin has set up a lot of acquisition points in our Xiongnu, as long as the wool is exchanged for money, you can buy Daqin's grain! ”
"Yes, I support the old patriarch's opinion! Later, I will go home and shear all the wool and send it to the purchase point! ”
"Me too! It's a fool not to make money if you have money! ”
"That wool is useless, and now it can be exchanged for money, so I have to do ......!"
Several of the delegates sitting around the tent expressed their opinions, and their voices completely overshadowed those who disagreed.
The demise of the Huns has become an unchangeable fact, but they have to find a way to survive!
At the end of the discussion, the Huns went back to their respective homes and gathered the whole family to go into battle to shear sheep!
With smiles on their faces, in their eyes, this is no different from going out to pick up money!
After the wool is sheared, it will not take long for it to grow again, and it will not delay the winter at all!
"I really didn't expect that the sheep we have eaten all our lives have now become a cash cow!"
"No, as long as the sheep in our hands continue to breed, there will always be endless wool, and we don't have to worry about starvation this winter!"
"Although Great Qin destroyed our Huns, he didn't kill our people, and let us trade with the Qin people in exchange for food, in my opinion, our future life will be much better than before!"
"Yes, it doesn't matter who leads the country at all, what matters is that we people are fed ......!"
In the process of sheep shearing, every household continued to discuss this matter, and came to the same conclusion: whoever can feed them is a good leader.
……
"Mother, if you like to eat this mustard-flavored leg of mutton, I will make it for you every day in the future!"
In Yuxiu Palace, Xiao Zhengtai was very obedient with a knife, cut off the roasted leg of mutton piece by piece, and put it on the plate in front of Lian'er.
"Good! My son has a heart! ”
Lian'er smiled and nodded, and her fair-skinned jade hand gently stroked Ying Feiyu's little head.
"Hey! You kid, I love so many things to eat, why have you never heard your boy say something to do for me? ”
The mother and son were filial piety, and Yingzheng, who was left aside, suddenly stopped doing it, flicked his chopsticks, and pretended to be annoyed.
"Father, you have no conscience when you say this, isn't the plate of potato chips on the table specially fried for you by your son?"
Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and pouted at the potato chips.
"Uh...... The potato chips are fragrant and crispy, not only do I eat more, but you kid also eat less! ”
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and continued: "But then again, when you were still fighting in the Huns, the first batch of potatoes planted by the people had already matured, and the average yield per mu was more than 3,000 catties up and down Daqin. ”
Seeing potato chips, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of high-yield potatoes.
In addition to growing food, there is a lot of leftovers that can appear on their tables!
If it was changed to the beginning, even if he was the emperor, he would never be willing to eat!
"There is also the high-yield rice, which has been harvested for one season, and the yield is more than 1,000 catties, the people are not willing to eat, and the planting area has been expanded, and after the next season is mature, the grain will be left, and the rest will be stored in the grain warehouse!"
In just one year's effort, the problem of food shortage in Daqin has been solved, and every time I think of this, Ying Zhengle can't close his mouth.
"Now that your kid has laid down the Huns for me again, the price of mutton should slowly fall in the future, and the number of sheepskins will also increase, and the people will not have to use reed wool to keep warm!"
The poor people could not afford to buy the expensive fox and white fox skins, so they could only simply dispose of the sheepskins and sew them into linen cloth to make noodles for winter cold.
In this way, the people's food and clothing have been solved, and Yingzheng smiled with great satisfaction.
"The sheepskin is too thin, and in the cold winter, people who are not frozen can't go out?"
However, Xiao Zhengtai pouted and looked down on it.
"What? Do you kid have a better way? ”
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"That's natural, as long as the father is willing to give his son a thousand acres of land, his son will definitely let ordinary people live a warm winter!"
Xiao Zhengtai patted his chest and said confidently.
"What? What kind of new seeds do you have, boy? ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
This kid often tinkers with some strange things, and every time he brings great help to Daqin!
"That's right, this kind of seed is the latest cultivation of Erchen, not only has an excellent warmth effect, but the yield is not low, and it is very suitable for planting in the Guanzhong area!"
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and plant it! ”
The more Xiao Zhengtai said, the brighter Yingzheng's eyes became, and he couldn't wait to see what the thing that could keep out the cold in his mouth looked like.
"Erchen wants to plant, what about the land?"
Xiao Zhengtai pretended to be helpless and shrugged his shoulders.
"......?"
Ying Zheng's brain spun quickly, and after only a moment, he continued: "How is Li Si's position? If it's not enough, there is Feng Zheng's, their land has just been turned over, and they can be cultivated directly! ”
"Absolutely!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded.
Li Si wanted to be the prime minister back then, and his position was definitely the best.
Besides, cotton doesn't pick the land at all, even if it's a sandy and gravel land, it can grow very well!
However, this is the first batch, and winter is coming, and the yield of the first batch must be guaranteed, and it is of course best to use fertile land!
"I wonder what your plant is called?"
Ying Zheng couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked with great interest.
"The son-in-law will keep it secret for the time being, and when he goes back and plants it, his father will naturally know!"
Xiao Zhengtai winked mischievously and smiled mysteriously.
"Hey! You kid is really familiar with me, and you don't even tell me? ”
Ying Zheng immediately restrained his smile, put on a tiger face, and pretended to be annoyed.
"This kind of seed is carefully cultivated by Erchen, and before the planting is successful, you don't want to be destroyed, so the fewer people who know, the better!"
"Not even me?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Okay, you stinky boy......!"
