Chapter 214 Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes Come Out

"What, twelve?"

"There are twelve sweet potatoes."

"Oh my God, this sweet potato is so big."

"No, you can see clearly, there are big and small, but I don't know how heavy."

……

Xu Zhi's voice was very loud, and it instantly made the surrounding people talk about it, especially those hundred officials.

The hundred officials are the closest, so they can see the most clearly, twelve sweet potatoes, some large and some small, the largest, equivalent to the fists of two adults, and the smallest is only half an adult's fist.

Meng Yi ignored everyone's discussions, took the sweet potato with an excited expression, turned to face Yingzheng, and said, "Your Majesty, the first sweet potato bears twelve fruits. ”

Ying Zheng had already heard Xu Zhi's voice, and he was already excited and wanted to shout, but he was the first emperor, and he still had the majesty he deserved, so he endured it.

Now that Meng Yi reported to him, Ying Zheng slowly spit out one word: "Said"

"No."

Meng Yi immediately turned to look at the officials who had been waiting for a long time, they had been holding the scale rod in their hands, ready to weigh at any time.

"Weigh."

As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, one of the guards shouted loudly, "Say." ”

This guard is the herald, the official who specializes in conveying orders, and now he specializes in conveying the words between the court and the people, especially the words of Yingzheng.

When the people heard this, they immediately watched with anticipation as the officials weighing the sweet potatoes.

It didn't take long for them to get the exact numbers.

Eight pounds and six taels.

The herald immediately shouted, "Eight pounds and six taels." ”

The sound was so loud that almost everyone present could hear it.

"Eight pounds and six taels, good, it's really good."

"There are eight pounds and six taels?"

"Great, there are eight catties and six taels, that's eight catties and six taels."

"God, one plant is eight catties and six taels, and that's just the weight of one plant."

“……”

The people around them were talking excitedly.

Meng Yi said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the first sweet potato weighs eight catties and six taels. ”

"Good, great good." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "All those who plant have a reward. ”

"Weichen thanked Your Majesty on behalf of everyone." Meng Yi said,

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Keep digging and dig out all the sweet potatoes and potatoes for me." ”

"No."

Immediately, Meng Yi asked Xu Zhi and them to dig up again.

Zhang Liang in the crowd sighed and said: "There is really so much grain per mu, Zhang Liang has finally gained knowledge." ”

"Isn't that a good thing? Why do you sigh? Zhang asked puzzled.

Zhang Liang sighed again and said: "Now that you have new food, if you want to kill Yingzheng, I'm afraid there is no way anymore, unless you are willing to bear the infamy." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhang scratched his head, "You know that my brain is not good, why do you still give me a problem, don't you say no?" ”

Zhang Liang glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "The yield of the new crop is indeed very high, this sweet potato can be eaten as food, that is, the people will not starve to death, in this case, the first emperor who found the new grain will be loved by the people."

You killed a good emperor who is loved by the people, do you think the people of the world will scold you. ”

"This ...... Yes. Zhang Li said unconvinced.

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes again speechlessly, and said, "Please remove the word bar, yes, definitely."

If you have to kill Yingzheng, I won't stop you. Afterwards, I will go to see the First Emperor, you can go with me. ”

"Okay." Zhang Li replied without thinking.

On the other side, Fan Zeng said: "I didn't expect that there really is such a high yield of grain, as long as we have these new grains, we will have military rations for the incident." ”

"That's right, Ying Zheng never dreamed that the food he was looking for for the people would become the military food for our uprising, I don't know if he would jump out of the coffin after learning the news." Xiang Yu smiled excitedly,

The time of their incident was decided after Ying Zheng's death, but there was no way, Ying Zheng's coercion was too great.

In history, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, could only start an incident after Yingzheng's death.

The second, third, fourth...... One after another sweet potatoes were dug up, 7 catties, 10 catties and five taels, 6 catties and 6 taels...... Strings of numbers were exploded.

In the end, all the numbers add up to more than 800 catties.

After an official calculated the final weight, he walked excitedly, walked up to Meng Yi and said, "Lord Meng, all the sweet potatoes weigh eight hundred and twenty-eight pounds and eight taels. ”

Meng Yi nodded calmly and said, "Is there a miscalculation?" ”

"Xia Guan counted three times in a row, and it was accurate."

"Okay." Meng Yi said excitedly, thinking in his heart: Mr. Cheng will not deceive me.

Then, Meng Yi turned to look at Ying Zheng and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the total weight of sweet potatoes is eight hundred and twenty-eight catties and eight taels. ”

"Good." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "Dig potatoes." ”

"No." Meng Yi responded.

"Dig potatoes." Meng Yi said to Xu Zhi and them.

"No."

Xu Zhi and the others responded excitedly.

With the total weight of sweet potatoes, they are more confident in potatoes, this acre of land, but half of the potatoes, half of the sweet potatoes.

There are more than 800 catties of sweet potatoes, which means that there are more than 1,600 catties of sweet potatoes in one acre of land, and may even reach 2,000 catties.

The imperial court has long said that the yield of potatoes per mu is 35,000 catties, even if it is at least, it is 3,000 catties, and half an acre of potatoes is 1,500 catties.

So in everyone's expectation, the potatoes were dug up, some big and some small, and slowly the potatoes were piled up so high.

Looking at so many potatoes, I was all excited by the people, no matter how you look at it, there are two thousand catties.

The people began to talk again.

"I guess the potatoes are at least two thousand pounds."

"I don't think it's worth it, it should be two thousand and one hundred pounds."

"Wrong, it's two thousand three hundred catties."

……

The surrounding people discussed the voice, which led to the civil and military officials also talking.

Feng Qujian looked at the potatoes as tall as a human and said, "Li Xiang, are you telling me that these new crops are really brought by the emperor?" ”

"Of course, if Great Qin has it, do you think the imperial court will still worry about food?" Lees said.

"Where did the Emperor get these new crops?"

"He bought it." Lees said.

"Li Xiangmo is joking, if I can buy this, I am willing to go bankrupt to buy it."

"You can't buy it. I can't buy it, even His Majesty can't buy it, and the emperor can't buy it now, which means that these are all out of print, and they are the hope of Daqin, and these potatoes and sweet potatoes will be used as seeds to continue to be planted until every household in Daqin has potatoes and sweet potatoes. Lees said.

Feng Quji looked at Li Si with a shocked expression, he seemed to have heard terrible information from Li Si's words, Emperor Qin An didn't seem to be a person from Great Qin.

At this point, the person who calculates the potatoes finally calculates the total weight of the potatoes.

"Lord Meng, the total weight of potatoes is two thousand one hundred and three catties and five taels."

Some people died, but not completely......
