Chapter 40: Promote Planting!

Mao Jiao and Chun Yuyue were not whipped.

The two of them are older, and it is normal for them to be slow to work hard.

However, the young Confucian students on the side, inevitably, took a few hits, and these people were gritting their teeth and speeding up their work at the same time, their eyes were also full of hatred.

But fortunately, their hatred is of little use.

That's it.

When you hate others, at most you write articles to scold them, but other than that, you can't cause any harm.

At the same time, Win Changsheng in the pavilion, after eating and drinking enough with everyone, also began to discuss and promote the cultivation of potatoes!

"At present, the harvested potatoes are about nearly two hundred stones, except for a small part of these potatoes, which are left in the palace and let us try them, and the rest should all be taken out and promoted for planting!"

Win Changsheng said left and right.

"How are these potatoes grown?"

Zhang Cang asked.

"It's simple, it's nothing more than cutting the potatoes into small pieces and burying them in the soil!"

Ying Changsheng explained, and then asked.

"In this imperial garden, more than two acres of land are planted, and you can tell how many catties of potatoes were used?"

"Why can't you weigh more than a dozen pounds?"

Zhang Liang and the others muttered, but Ying Changsheng shook his head.

"In total, only five catties were used, one acre of land, two or three catties were enough, and our potatoes of more than 200 stones, if it were popularized, would be able to plant 10,000 acres of land!"

"Then this potato, can it be planted for another season this year?"

Fusu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it's only summer, now step up the sowing, plant it, and by the end of autumn, you will be able to harvest another season!"

Ying Changsheng said.

The rain and heat conditions during the Qin Dynasty were much stronger than those in later generations.

You must know that in this era, even the Central Plains, that is, the Henan region in later generations, still have swamps, elephants, rhinoceros, and crocodiles.

The warmth of this climate can be imagined.

And this warm climate did not stop until the Song Dynasty, until the Northern Song Dynasty, when elephants were captured in Henan, China.

The climate of the later generations, compared with the current climate of Daqin, belongs to the Xiaoice River period!

For humans, the climate is too warm, which is not a good thing, and it will not be very comfortable, but for plants, the warm climate can encourage them to grow at a very fast rate.

So, it's perfectly fine to sow another season of potatoes right now!

"In this case, we should quickly sow all these harvested potatoes, and then, when the harvest is made, you can get seven or eight hundred thousand stone potatoes, and with these potatoes, you can promote the potatoes to my Great Qin World next year!"

Zhang Liang proposed.

"Hurry up and plant, next year there will be 780,000 stone of seeds, 780,000 stone of potatoes, enough to sow hundreds of millions of acres of fields......

Fusu hurriedly bowed his head.

"Just, where are these potatoes grown?"

Ying Changsheng frowned and asked.

"Nowadays, the farmland is full of crops, and if you plant potatoes in it, you will destroy the crops that are growing in the field......

"This ......"

Zhang Liang and the others looked embarrassed, and then, they only heard Zhang Liang say.

"You can only destroy the seedlings and plant potatoes, compared to this loss, it is the right thing to be able to promote potatoes sooner or later!"

"What's more, the grain yield of potatoes in one acre of land is dozens of times that of ordinary crops, and even if you destroy seedlings and plant potatoes, you can't lose too much ......."

"Although the truth is this truth, it is still too wasteful after all!"

Zhang Cang shook his head, and then, seeing him with a big belly, he proposed.

"The minister has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"

"Tell me about it?"

Fusu motioned to Zhang Cang and said, only to hear Zhang Cang explain.

"You can reclaim the fields, there are many prisoners in Guanzhong, and tens of thousands of people can be drawn out to reclaim the fields, and it doesn't take much to reclaim 10,000 acres of new land!"

"It's easy to say!"

Zhang Cang's words fell, and Gong Yi sneered and shook his head.

"In this pass, the population is very large, and the wilderness that the people can reclaim has already been reclaimed, where can I find something to reclaim?"

"This ......"

Zhang Cang was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng's eyes lit up.

"I know there's a place to cultivate!"

"Where?"

Fusu was surprised for a while, and then asked.

"Royal Forbidden!"

Ying Changsheng said four words.

For a moment, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed.

The place where Ying Changsheng said was the royal hunting ground located in Guanzhong.

These places are the areas divided by the imperial court, and there is a wasteland inside, with lush forests and wild beasts, but this place is not used as a "nature reserve" for Daqin, this place is used for hunting for Brother Zheng.

It is used as a hunting ground for the royal family.

Although Brother Zheng usually doesn't like hunting, this area must be preserved forever.

And his scale is also very large, with millions of acres of land!

Just reclaim a corner and you can plant 10,000 acres of potatoes!

However, before Ying Changsheng brought it up, Fusu on the side shook his head again and again.

"It's not proper, it's not proper, I can't reclaim that place, after my father knows about it, I'll probably blame it, but I can't afford the loss of 10,000 acres of land......

"What's this, all the gardens can be farmed, and the abandoned hunting grounds can't be used for farming?"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile.

When I heard this, everyone was happy.

Well, this nineteenth prince even dares to grow crops in the imperial garden, so why not ban it on a large scale?

"Then let's do it!"

Fusu said.

But in my heart, I secretly said, but when my father comes back, don't be angry......

After several people finished discussing, they finally finished digging all the potatoes, and at this moment, they sat on the ridges of the field one by one, panting and resting.

"The unity of knowledge and action, this is the unity of knowledge and action, no matter how much you shout in your mouth, you don't want to do some work as follows!"

Ying Changsheng walked over and said to the Confucian students on the side.

These Confucian students were panting one by one, but when they looked at Ying Changsheng's eyes, they were full of anger.

However, in the crowd, a doctor named Shusun Tong stood up, looked at Ying Changsheng with a respectful face, and said with a face full of admiration.

"What the nineteenth prince said is extremely true, listening to the words of the nineteenth prince is better than reading ten years of books!"

"Hahahaha!"

Win Changsheng didn't care whether his uncle and grandson were sincere or fake, he laughed a few times, and then said to his uncle and grandson.

"What's your name?"

"Under Uncle Sun Tong!"

The latter replied.

Suddenly, Win Changsheng thought about who this thing was, he was the so-called Confucianism of Confucianism.

Shusun Tongxi is in the world, the system of rites advances and retreats, and changes with the times, this is Sima Qian's historical evaluation of Shusun Tong in the historical records.
