Chapter 42: The yield is so terrifying, and it is said that it is not the spiritual root of the immortal family?
Ying Zheng and others drank sweet potato soup while munching on potatoes and corn.
The appearance of eating is as if it is the reincarnation of the evil ghost in the underworld, and his eyes are almost red.
There is no image and consciousness as a high-level of Great Qin at all!
While eating, they also vaguely praised Zhou Yu:
"These crops of the Immortal Chief are really delicious!"
"I've been in the top echelons of Daqin all these years, and all that food has been eaten in vain!"
"Yes, it is worthy of being grown in the Immortal Farm! When I watched the monkey cook, it was just a simple process, and I didn't even put the seasoning condiments, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious! ”
"These crops of the fairy chief are really magical, not only delicious to eat, but also have magical effects, the old man seems to be ten years younger!"
"It's really fairy food!"
"Thank you for the banquet of the immortal chief, otherwise I would have waited for the rest of my life and would not have known that there is such food in this world!"
“……”
A group of Daqin officials praised one after another, and they didn't know where to throw the words on weekdays.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Sure enough, in front of these delicacies of their own, these high-level Daqin executives who are usually extremely literate also showed their most primitive side.
However, he didn't mean to laugh at them.
After all, even if it was the first time that a person who had eaten countless delicacies in his previous life ate these crops, the reaction would not be much different from that of them now.
In the face of everyone's gratitude, he just smiled indifferently and replied:
"Meeting is fate, and you don't need to be so polite."
"Enjoy!"
Seeing Zhou Yu's approachable attitude, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and even stopped chewing the food.
After all, in their eyes, this immortal chief has always been a high-minded and unstained face.
There is such a humble side.
Suddenly, they admired Zhou Yu even more in their hearts.
It's an immortal!
Immediately, he began to eat again.
On the side, the monkeys were also surprised when they saw their appearance.
After all, when these people came in just now, they all looked like people who were quite deep in the city.
and now they don't care about it because of food, it's completely two people.
Although he left Huaguo Mountain to go to the sea to seek immortals, he has never seen anyone in the world until now.
It's only now that we know a little about them.
In this way, everyone soon had eaten and drunk enough, and they all lay down on the ridge with satisfaction, looking very leisurely and happy.
Especially Ying Zheng and others, who have been entangled in government affairs all the year round, have never had any moment of relaxation.
But when I came to Zhou Yu's immortal mansion today, I saw many magical things, and I ate so many delicacies, but it made them completely let go!
At this time, Ying Zheng looked at the many crops in the field not far away, revealing a deep curiosity.
I saw that the crops in the field were growing very vigorously and bearing fruit.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes buried in the soil are swollen, and even the corn that bears only one fruit is very large.
This yield is much higher than the highest yield of grain in Daqin!
The key is that it's so delicious!
Immediately, Ying Zheng asked Zhou Yu:
"Immortal Chief, why do these Spirit Root Immortal Fruits grow so vigorously?"
Hearing this, the others also looked at Zhou Yu and wanted to know the answer.
After eating so many delicacies, they still didn't know what was grown in Zhou Yu's farm.
Who knows, when Zhou Yu heard Ying Zheng's words, he shook his head and explained:
"These aren't some spiritual root fairy fruits."
"These are just some of the common crops on my farm."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, everyone present suddenly became even more surprised.
The eyes widened, looking a little incredible.
In fact, they also thought that these things were used as food.
After all, how could there be such a high yield of Spiritual Root Immortal Fruit?
But the aroma of these crops, the deliciousness of eating, and the miraculous effect make them have to think in this direction.
Hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, he was naturally very surprised.
Zhou Yu saw their surprised appearance and began to explain it to them.
He introduced the potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, rice and other crops grown in the field one by one.
And explain the yield per mu of these things, rice can reach 1,000 catties per mu.
1,200 pounds of corn.
Like potatoes and sweet potatoes, it can even reach about 4,000 catties!
Hearing Zhou Yu's series of numbers, Ying Zheng and the others were stunned all of a sudden.
Their eyes widened, wondering if they had misheard.
You must know that in their Daqin, one acre of grain can generally produce dozens of catties.
In the best case, it is only a hundred catties per mu.
And that's rare.
In more cases, Daqin's grain yield per mu is only a few dozen catties. Because in recent years, Daqin farmers have frequently encountered natural disasters, and it is good to have a good harvest.
Every year, many people in Daqin live in dire straits because of lack of food.
Now I suddenly heard Zhou Yu's words, as if I was listening to the Arabian Nights.
They looked at Zhou Yu's expression again and found that it was still calm.
Only then did he dare to confirm Zhou Yu's words.
One of them couldn't help but get excited.
Li Si asked in a trembling voice:
"Isn't it difficult to cultivate such a miraculous crop?"
Others agreed.
With such a high-yield crop, the requirements for soil, water and the like must be extremely high.
In their opinion, perhaps only the Immortal's Cave Mansion could be cultivated.
Zhou Yu shook his head:
"You only need to master a few skills, and it's the same as your farmers growing crops."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more shocked.
Not only is the yield high, but it is also as difficult to grow as other crops.
If such a crop can be introduced into Daqin, wouldn't Daqin's granary be directly full!
No one in Great Qin will starve to death because there is no food!
Thinking of this, hope appeared in their hearts.
I want to seek a transplant from Zhou Yu.
But they soon fell short.
Because in their opinion, these crops can only be grown in Zhou Yu's farm.
They could not have the water to irrigate their crops, and the means to cultivate them.
Seeing them like this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
It seems that they have not yet understood what they mean.
He said bluntly:
"Even if these crops are outside, ordinary farmers can still grow them, although they will not have special effects, but they are completely fine for use as food, and the yield per mu will not be reduced much!"
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, the loss in the hearts of Ying Zheng and the others was suddenly swept away!
Then, everyone became excited.
Ying Zheng even immediately solemnly pleaded:
"Please, Immortal, give us some crop seeds!"
In Ying Zheng's opinion, if Daqin can get such a high-yield crop, even if he can't get the method of immortality this time, it's worth it!
Seeing this, Li Si and the others naturally reacted, and immediately bowed down and pleaded.
Zhou Yu faced their pleas, but did not answer directly.
Instead, he looked at Ying Zheng and asked:
"If you had to choose, ten years to live and get the seeds of these crops, which one would you choose?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Li Si and the others also looked at Zhou Yu in dismay.
Zhou Yu's question was extremely strange, and it really hit the hearts of everyone present.
After all, they really wanted to get the crops in Zhou Yu's farm now.
Especially potatoes and sweet potatoes.
With these two high-yielding crops, Daqin's agriculture will be greatly improved!
In this era, for a human nation, no matter how important things are, they will not be more important than increasing agricultural income!
This is the era when the real people live on food.
If there is not enough food, a country will not be strong at all.
And the two choices Zhou Yu gave now seem to have a posture of asking them to choose one of the two.
If they choose these crops, will the longevity problem of Yingzheng not be solved?
Daqin is now the most glorious time, if there is no Yingzheng, the blow to Daqin will be quite huge!
At that time, Great Qin will be caught in a brutal battle!
However, if they choose Yingzheng's Shouyuan and miss out on these crops, it will also be a very huge loss.
It's good that I haven't seen it before, and my horizons haven't been broadened.
But now, they not only see the crops, but even eat them.
It would be too difficult for them to give up again.
It is estimated that they will remember these crops for the rest of their lives, and they will even dream of them!
For a while, a group of high-level executives of Daqin were all embarrassed and looked at Zhou Yu anxiously.
Ying Zheng himself was stumped by Zhou Yu's question, and was speechless for a while.
If he chooses from his personal point of view, he will of course choose to increase his longevity.
But if he missed the opportunity to get these artifact crops because of this, then he would be very sorry.
He was wondering, is there a way to do both?
Even the monkey looked at Zhou Yu a little confused, not knowing what Immortal Zhou Yu meant.
However, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to the eyes of others, and always looked at Yingzheng in front of him calmly.
He was waiting for Ying Zheng's own answer.
Facing Zhou Yu's gaze, Ying Zheng did not answer immediately, but speculated in his heart.
The multiple-choice question given to him by Zhou Yu gave him a feeling that he was undergoing a test.
He wondered in his heart, could this be the test of the immortals for themselves?
Ying Zheng thinks it is very likely that this is the case.
It is not so easy to get benefits from the hands of the Immortal Chief.
It is necessary to answer the questions given by the immortal chief and satisfy the immortal chief.
In this way, the immortal chief will be able to help himself!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng began to think carefully in his heart.
Whether to choose to prolong life, or choose to introduce grain seeds for Daqin.
To prolong one's life is for one's own selfish desires.
Abandoning life extension and introducing grain seeds to Daqin will benefit the people of the entire Daqin, and it is for the sake of the world.
The immortal chief had also said before that he had a good impression of himself.
And the source of this goodwill is because he established Great Qin and benefited the people of the world!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly had a plan in his heart.
When the immortal chief asked this, he must have wanted to see his own emperor's mind.
Can only pretend to be yourself, or do you have the people of the world in mind!
In fact, Ying Zheng has worked hard to establish a Great Qin, how can there be no people in his heart?
He immediately decided to choose the latter!
So, Ying Zheng's eyes became firm, and he said to Zhou Yu in a deep voice:
"If you have to choose one of the two, choose the seeds of grain!"
"Although the life of the government is important, compared with the people of Great Qin, it is the latter who is heavier!"
"Your Majesty!"
Behind Ying Zheng, when the ministers heard Ying Zheng's decision, their eyes were suddenly soaked with tears, and they shouted in pain.
