Chapter 98: There are potatoes?
He had already discussed in detail with Dong Zhongshu the benefits that rice would bring after its popularization in Qin, so there was no need to elaborate.
Simply put, the heyday of the Qin Dynasty is about to come, and no one can stop it!
In his excitement, the inner energy in his body seemed to be galloping under the hooves of a horse.
This scene startled Xuanwu who was standing by. Was he going to take action?
You are just a junior master, but I am a senior master, don't get me wrong?
However, Xuanwu waited for two breaths and found that the man next to him had no intention of taking action.
Is this... cultivation?
Oh my God, my great rice doesn’t even interest you?
I have just described in detail the benefits of eating rice, but you were indifferent and instead felt bored and started practicing?
This... Prime Minister Dong's men are so calm and composed, they truly show their strong demeanor!
At this moment, Ying Zheng still kept his mission in mind. As Dong Zhongshu's messenger, he had to remain calm.
He said calmly: "Oh, is that all? If that's all, then I'll go back first."
When Xuanwu heard this, he was indeed in a hurry to go back and practice.
He seemed to care nothing about the rice.
But, after hearing about the rice, you go back to practice?
Don't you need to check on the potato harvest?
Then, Xuanwu carefully sensed the speed of the other party's true energy flow, and his heart was shocked!
Wow, in just this short moment, he is about to break through to the late Grandmaster level!
No wonder they are so eager!
He quickly said, "Sir, if you have urgent business and need to go back, it is possible. This is the situation with the rice."
“As for the potato harvest over there, it is also proceeding in an orderly manner.”
"If you're not interested, it's okay not to watch it."
what? !
Anything else?
Ying Zheng was shocked.
Potato?
What it is?
Can I eat it too?
Is it food too?
What is the yield per mu?
Keep calm, keep calm.
"As for potatoes, I think... forget it."
"But... since you mentioned it, let's take a look at it."
"My business is not that urgent."
Ying Zheng said calmly.
Xuanwu's heart was shaken again. You are about to break through to the late Grandmaster stage, and you are not in a hurry yet?
It's surprisingly calm!
If there are many people who have the opportunity to reach the late Grandmaster realm, they would immediately go into seclusion on the spot and make every effort to break through.
And you actually still have the mood to look at those potatoes?
"Okay, this way please."
Xuanwu led the way, explaining incessantly: "Actually, potatoes are far inferior to rice."
"Young Master once said that rice, as a staple food, has extremely high nutritional value and is irreplaceable!"
"In comparison, potatoes can be eaten as both a meal and a vegetable. They taste OK, have low requirements for the growing environment, have a short growth cycle, and have a decent yield."
"Other than that, there's nothing special about it."
Ying Zheng walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly. It turned out that only rice was a good new grain. He thought potatoes were also a good new variety.
After hearing what Xuanwu said, these potatoes are nothing special.
He said calmly: "Well, compared with rice, potatoes are indeed a bit ordinary."
"By the way, you said its yield is pretty good."
"Based on the current situation, how much can one acre of land produce?"
The First Emperor asked as he walked, looking as if he was inspecting something.
Xuanwu could see that this person's aura was extraordinary. Although he had no prominent reputation, his true energy circulated rapidly while he walked, and while impacting the acupuncture points, it did not affect his conversation and actions.
This person is probably also a newly recruited expert by the young master, just like them, right?
Xuanwu did not dare to neglect and replied: "The yield of these potatoes is quite acceptable."
"The mature potatoes we have dug up so far yield about 5,500 kilograms per acre."
boom!
How many? !
Click!
A bottleneck somewhere in Ying Zheng's body was instantly broken, and his Qi roared and flowed. He had already entered the late stage of Grandmaster...
How many? !
Five thousand five hundred kilograms? !
You call this a decent output?
This is five thousand five hundred kilograms!
It's not five thousand five hundred taels, and it's certainly not five hundred and fifty kilograms! !
Do you know what this means?
Are you a citizen of the Qin Dynasty?
Have you forgotten that Daqin has suffered from famine for many years?
For all these years, we have been barely surviving by producing two or three kilograms per mu!
Now you tell me that the potato yield per mu is 5,500 kilograms, and you actually say it's just okay?!
Are you getting carried away, or am I, Qin Shi Huang, unable to understand this world?
You know, regardless of whether this thing tastes good or not, or whether it is nutritious or not, if it had been there, there wouldn’t be tens of thousands of people starving to death on the streets of Daqin, and there wouldn’t be millions of people displaced by hunger.
There won't be tens of millions of people who can only eat one meal a day!!!
Did you know that to produce more than 5,000 kilograms per acre, you don’t actually need a lot of it. Even if every household only has a small piece of arable land, it can save the family from starvation!
do you know……
I……!
You have such a good thing that can produce more than 5,000 kilograms per mu, why didn't you bring it out earlier and tell me earlier? !
Ying Zheng's anger suddenly rose!
If he wasn't disguised as someone else at the moment, if there wasn't a great master named Xuanwu in front of him, he might not be able to defeat him. He even wanted to teach him a lesson directly!
At the moment when Ying Zheng's heart was surging with turbulent waves, the true energy in his body surged like a raging wave, overcoming two small bottlenecks and a big hurdle in one fell swoop, and leaped to the late stage of the Grandmaster in an instant!
His temperament changed drastically in an instant, as if he had climbed another stone step in the palace of martial arts.
This leap is roughly equivalent to ten years of hard training for an ordinary martial arts genius.
This scene shocked Xuanwu beside him and made him stunned!
God!
How is this going?
Do you think the 5,500 kilograms of potatoes I mentioned are insignificant?
Can't even attract your attention?
Hey, you are practicing and making a breakthrough there, I am sorry for taking the trouble to explain it to you here!
I am a grandmaster, and you are just a master, although you are about to be promoted to grandmaster.
Are our potatoes so bad?
Five thousand five hundred kilograms, I am already being very modest!
If good fertilizer is used, the yield may even reach six or seven thousand kilograms!
However, this brother could be so calm and composed, and easily improve his realm while walking and talking?
To improve your cultivation to this level, don’t you need to go into seclusion?
Don’t we need to find a quiet secret room and have someone to protect us?
You made a breakthrough just by talking to people in such a brazen way and inspecting the grain harvest?
What kind of determination, what kind of diligence, what kind of astonishing talent for cultivation? !
Walking in the fields and working, he could practice without any interruption. Not only that, but he could also achieve a breakthrough without realizing it?!
