Chapter Eighty-Four: The First Emperor is moved, Great Qin's elixir!
In the palace, the seventy-year-old Fu Feng and the first emperor sat opposite each other.
The First Emperor didn't say a word, and Fu Feng stared at the charts and world maps on the desk.
Su Feng, a descendant of Zou Yan, a contemporary representative of the Yin and Yang family, and a man of the moment who set the destiny of heaven for Great Qin.
Great Kyushu said, the promoter of the five virtues.
At the same time, he is also a stargazer.
In Qidi, there are many protégés and a lot of reputation, although they have retired, but the majesty of angrily denouncing the hundred schools for the destiny of Qin Zheng is still as good as yesterday.
At this moment, such an old man who said that he was a famous person, looked at the nautical charts and world maps on the desk, but his fingers trembled with excitement.
"That's right! That's right! ”
Zou Yan has been deceased for a long time, and it is impossible to verify whether it is Zou Yan's conjecture or Zou Yan's calculation, but the disciples of the Yin and Yang family have undoubtedly enshrined the Great Kyushu theory as Guigao, which is a doctrine for the disciples of the Yin and Yang family, and even most of the nobles and ordinary people in Qi to understand the world.
Qi land is close to the sea, and it naturally has the soil that is popular in Great Kyushu.
It's a pity that at present, the mainstream is still Kyushu theory, even if the first emperor stands in line for the Great Kyushu theory.
Looking at the slightly scribbled world map drawn by Zhao Si, the names of Kyushu flashed one by one.
Shenzhou, Rongzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Hezhou, Zhuzhou, Xuanzhou, Yingzhou, Bozhou.
Zou Yan's Great Kyushu Theory has always been a way for the disciples of the Yin and Yang Family to understand the world, and every generation of disciples since Zou Yan has been supplementing the Great Kyushu Theory.
Among them, there are many ancient books and ancient books, wandering the world, but unfortunately, the four poles of heaven and earth, how can it be so easy to step out.
The world map is not Kyushu, Zhao Si drew a standard world map, but Zou Yan still preconceived substitute for the Great Kyushu Theory, and compared them one by one according to the description of the Great Kyushu Theory.
"Your Majesty! This is China! Zou Feng pointed to the entire Chinese cultural circle, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Siberia.
"This place, it should be Rongzhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Southeast Asia and Oceania.
"This is Yangzhou." This time it refers to the Indian subcontinent.
"This is Yizhou!" Subong points to the Central Asian region.
"This is Hezhou!" The finger is pointed at Africa.
"This is Zhuzhou!" Subong points to Europe.
"This is Xuanzhou!" This refers to North America.
"This is Yingzhou!" Subong points to Central and South America.
"Here, it should be Bozhou!" Subong points to Antarctica!
In fact, the true geomorphological division of the world map is very different from the Great Kyushu theory of the Yin and Yang family, but it is not important.
The theory of the Great Kyushu Theory is that conjecture is greater than reality, and its core is to reason about big things from small things that have already been fulfilled.
This is the core methodology of the Yin-Yang family.
Therefore, it does not matter if there are discrepancies, as long as it is proved that there is a vast fertile soil beyond the four poles, it can prove the correctness of the Great Kyushu theory.
The First Emperor nodded slightly, and before he could speak, Su Feng couldn't wait to speak again: "Your Majesty, can you let the ministers meet with Zhao Si!" ”
Although Su Feng was excited in his heart, it was impossible to listen to Zhao Si's words, what was going on in the Great Kyushu, and the disciples of the Yin and Yang family had to go on a trip to be reliable.
Zhao Si, as the leader of the overseas return to Qin and the leader of the crew, is the core object that Su Feng needs to fight for.
Yes, Su Feng not only plans to open the sea in the book, but also plans to deceive the crew members who returned this time again, especially Zhao Si!
Zhao Si is a core figure, he has the experience of leading sea voyages, and he has personally crossed the four poles of heaven and earth to set foot overseas, which is the only one in the entire Great Qin.
Zhao Si definitely wants it, it is best to promote the doctrine of the Yin and Yang family by the way, and it is best to absorb all the crew members, including Zhao Si and even all the crew, into the Yin and Yang family.
Of course, the First Emperor knew what Su Feng wanted, but the First Emperor did not intend to let Zhao Si continue to go to sea, he planned to hand over the dominance of this trip to the Yin and Yang family instead of Zhao Si, and Zhao Si planned to stay in Xianyang for his other use.
However, Su Feng's request was only to see him, and Zhao Si's stay depended on the First Emperor, and he just wanted to agree, but he saw Meng Yi hurriedly bowing before coming to the palace gate with a happy face.
"Your Majesty! Lantian is in a hurry! Meng Yi had a spring breeze on his face that could not be concealed.
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and three new grains have all grown!"
The First Emperor's slightly tapped index finger stopped.
"How's the yield?" The voice was very calm, and the expression of the First Emperor was casual, but it was loud.
"Some have been pulled, and it is roughly estimated that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is about four or five thousand catties, the yield of potatoes per mu is about one or two thousand catties, and the yield of corn is about three hundred catties." Although he had already seen the folds in advance, Meng Yi still felt very untrue when he opened his mouth to report, and even before he came over, he specially sent someone to Lantian to ask if he had written bad data.
The result was a confirmation that it was correct, and by the way, there was a sample of sweet potatoes and corn that was picked and delivered.
"Hmm......" The First Emperor, the original prepared manuscript was interrupted by this astonishing output, so that his fingers were slightly stiff, although he had experienced countless winds and waves, but the shock brought to him by suddenly hearing the news was still incomparable.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is a new seed!"
Meng Yi took out two fist-sized sweet potatoes and fist-sized potatoes from his arms, as well as corn that was yellow and full of small arm thickness.
The First Emperor got up and didn't wait for Meng Yi to hand it over, and got up to take it.
For sweet potatoes, the First Emperor is no stranger, and after Zhao Si just returned, the First Emperor often played in private.
It was a crop with a yield of 500 catties per mu, although Zhao Si had tried his best to explain the shortcomings of these two crops, but the yield of 500 catties per mu was enough to make up for all the shortcomings.
The previous sweet potatoes and potatoes had been bald by the First Emperor's plate, how could the First Emperor not be familiar with it, and the sweet potato potatoes that had just been unearthed now, stained with soil, were held in the palm of the First Emperor's hand one by one.
Unlike the sweet potatoes that Zhao Si brought back from Langya before, the sweet potatoes produced this time are much larger than the seeds brought back by Zhao Si.
Before, sweet potatoes could be held and played with one hand, but now, the big sweet potatoes are even a little difficult to grasp with one hand, how much bigger than twice?
"Yield per mu...... Four or five thousand pounds? Before the First Emperor could speak, Su Feng stood up tremblingly first, bent over and looked at the sweet potatoes in the First Emperor's hand, as if looking at some rare treasure.
"This is a new crop brought back from overseas?" Su Feng looked at it with blank eyes, and wanted to take it in his hand to look at it carefully, but the First Emperor had no intention of handing it to Su Feng, holding it with both hands, his face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp.
"Is Meng Shangqing's words true?" Su Feng asked.
"It's just a few plants, and the yield is roughly estimated, but I don't think the difference is too big." Meng Yi said with a smile.
The official harvest must wait until the First Emperor agrees to begin. Production estimates are made in advance to facilitate policy responses.
The yield is too low, and the harvest is obscure.
The output is high, so naturally I want to use this matter to publicize it, the mandate of heaven is in Qin, it is better to be, otherwise why is there such a divine food?
According to this outrageous yield, I am afraid that it is not to announce the heavens and the earth, pray for the mountains and rivers, and pay tribute to the ancestors of Shennong, and the civil and military officials will not be officially harvested until they arrive.
At this moment, the significance of these three new grains is far from food.
What food, this is auspicious! How can there be grain that can yield thousands of catties per mu?
"Let's go!" The First Emperor seemed to be full of vigor at this moment, and he did not have the slightest decadence of being nearly fifty years old.
He can't wait, he can't wait for the day when he announces the world, prays for the mountains and rivers, and pays tribute to the ancestors of Shennong.
He wants to go to Lantian first and harvest some in person!
Meng Yi did not hesitate, and ordered the transfer of carriages and horses to drive for the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty, can the old minister go with me!" There was hope in his demeanor.
This is a grain yield of thousands of catties per mu, who doesn't want to see it for the first time? What's more, the Lantian camp also has Zhao Si, who he has always wanted to abduct, and the crew who returned from going to sea.
The First Emperor nodded, and Meng Yi personally helped the donkey to get into the car, and the soldiers guarded it, and the chariot accompanied him, pointing directly at Lantian.
In the current Lantian camp, the soldiers who farmed together, as well as the crew, and even Zhao Si and Wang Li, had no intention of other things, and surrounded the ground together, chattering with each other.
Now that the three new grains have matured, and the high yield is already predictable, just waiting for the harvest to determine the specific output, who can do anything else?
Zhao Si himself can't read the book anymore, it's not that he hasn't seen sweet potatoes and potatoes, but in a different environment, the meaning is very different.
What is pinned on this is not only the lives of thousands of Li Shu, but also the future of Daqin.
Zhao Si even had an unknown apprehension, he knew that if the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes and corn would not fall, he would be 100% famous in history, and his historical status would be very high.
He also knew that standing on the edge of Great Qin, this time, history would change for him, and the land of Zhuxia would usher in a new fate.
How miraculous it is, from a bystander to the key to the change of history, especially when Zhao Si knows the upper and lower historical contexts, he has even begun to think about how future generations should tout their exploits.
Including Wang Li, the same is true!
Even if he is the eldest of the three generations of Great Qin, he can't escape the sense of witness that makes people goosebumps all over his body at this moment.
"You say, how many catties can you produce per mu?"
"I guess the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is 6,000 catties!"
"I guess four thousand pounds!"
A group of people chattered and couldn't calm down for a long time, until the frame of the First Emperor drove to Lantian, and the First Emperor walked out of the car.
The originally chattering ground instantly returned to tranquility, and the soldiers, the crew, Wang Li, and Zhao Si all bowed respectfully to the side.
The First Emperor had no expression, nor did he respond to the salutes of the crowd.
It's just that in the company of Meng Yi and Su Feng, he walked to the field that he had seen many times.
Yellow corn ...... Green sweet potato vines, withered yellow potato stems and leaves.
The First Emperor came to the ground with great familiarity, broke off a piece of corn, and the slightly lifted corn reflected in the sun, as if it was shining.
Ignoring the friction and stinging of the corn stalks and leaves, the First Emperor went straight through, and Meng Yi hurriedly opened the way when he saw this, and the First Emperor walked in it like this, as if he was inspecting his own empire.
Yield per acre! Three hundred pounds! The growth rate is twice as fast as that of wheat!
Walk through the cornfields to the junction of the sweet potato fields and the potato fields.
The First Emperor squatted down, rejected the tools handed over by Meng Yi, and personally lifted it with his hands!
A sweet potato vine with seven large sweet potatoes hanging straight underneath.
A potato plant, with five fist-sized potatoes hanging underneath.
The First Emperor put the corn aside, held the sweet potatoes he dug out with his own hands in one hand, and held the potatoes in the other, and raised his head slightly to look at the vast farmland with sweet potatoes and potatoes.
This! Just one plant!
The First Emperor knew that the twists and turns that Meng Yi brought back were not false reports!
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and the crew who were bowing to the side, and his memory returned to the day when Xu Fu went to sea, like a hundred huge ships in the sea city, densely packed with boys, craftsmen, and cultivators!
They are about to set foot overseas, stepping out of the four poles of heaven and earth, in search of the ethereal elixir of life for themselves.
After that, there was no news.
Until, Langya Port, Zhao Si returned with more than a dozen sea ships in the port.
Mixed with helpless questioning, there is no immortal mountain, no immortal, no elixir, fortunately, there is a little surprise, the young man who returned from the king's order brought back three kinds of new grain, and claimed that two of them yield 500 catties per mu.
The yield per mu is 500 catties......
Although no elixir was found, the yield of 500 catties per mu was enough to surprise.
The First Emperor never thought that Zhao Si, this kid, was holding back a big one, where is this five hundred catties? It is clearly nearly ten times the output.
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si, and he vaguely remembered the conversation of that day.
The lad didn't bring back his elixir.
However, he brought back Great Qin's elixir!
