"The yield per mu is two hundred and ten catties!" After just one glance, Meng Yi was already surprised and sighed.

Not only Meng Yi, but also the civil and military forces behind Meng Yi were also shocked when they heard the figure of two hundred and ten catties. If the entire Daqin can reach a yield of 200 mu per mu, the new taxes alone will be astronomical.

A few months ago, when Fusu threw out the decision to establish the Daqin Agricultural Machinery Institute at the court meeting, these people were all opposed, and the reason for the opposition was nothing more than that they were worried that the establishment of the Daqin Agricultural Machinery Institute would be a move that would cost the people and money. The fundamental reason for this is that I still do not believe that agricultural harvests will increase with the agricultural technology that Fusu said.

For thousands of years, from the perspective of Li Si and the other ministers, the grain harvest is a gift from God, and has nothing to do with manpower. Therefore, since the beginning of the Shang Zhou, agricultural sacrifices have been regarded as very important. If there is a natural disaster such as a drought or locust plague, it is to blame the immorality of the Son of Heaven or the warning of God. At this time, the Son of Heaven will perform a great sacrifice and confess his sins to the heavens.

Now those peasants are farming according to Fusu's arrangement, and they have really achieved a yield of 200 catties per mu, which is far more than the 180 catties per mu that Fusu agreed with them.

There are also some ministers who were skeptical about the result of 210 catties per mu for a while, after all, this matter is too subversive of their cognition, since ancient times, agriculture has been determined by heaven, and Fusu's move is indeed a little too abnormal, completely subverting their cognition. Even if the letter was written, they did not want to believe the letter for a while.

"Childe, two hundred and ten pounds, this matter is very important, and the minister really doesn't dare to believe it easily. Since ancient times, farming has been done in the sky, even if there is really a harvest of 200 catties of one acre of land, it is just a fluke. ”

Seeing that some courtiers were still opposing the establishment of the Daqin Agricultural Machinery Institute, Fusu did not rush to refute it, but patiently threw this issue to the ministers again.

"Two prime ministers, all ministers, it was you who made a bet with me at the beginning, if those farmers really reach a yield of 200 catties per mu in Guilin County, you will support me to set up the Daqin Agricultural Machinery Institute, and now there are 200 catties of grain per mu, do you still want to deny it?" Fusu looked at the ministers with a solemn face and asked.

Hearing Fusu say this, the ministers couldn't say anything more, so they had to look left and right stupidly to hide their embarrassment. Especially those ministers who were still skeptical about the 200 catties per mu yield, they were as uncomfortable as eating flies at the moment.

After a few breaths, seeing that the ministers were choked by what they said, the expression on Fusu's face softened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I don't force you, think about it, if all the cultivated land in Daqin can yield 200 catties per mu, how much grain will it take, since you can feed more people and increase taxes, such a good thing, what else do you have to object?"

"Yes, colleagues, we made a bet with Gongzi in this Qilin Palace, and now that Gongzi has won, what else do we have to say, the old minister Li Si is here to express his position, Li Si supports Gongzi to set up the Great Qin Agricultural Machinery Institute."

"Chen Mengyi also approves of Gongzi's establishment of the Great Qin Agricultural Machinery Institute!"

With the public platform of Li Si and Meng Yi, even those ministers who had previously opposed the establishment of the Great Qin Agricultural Machinery Institute would not be able to say anything.
