Chapter 111 Li Si's Idol Burden and Errand
Is Li Si curious?
Of course he was curious!
But as the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he is truly second to none, so he has to have some idol baggage.

How can he demonstrate the majesty of the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty if he is so startled?
As for satisfying curiosity?

It doesn't matter!
Isn’t there Xiao He next to me?

He is just a Fengchang, with the lowest status. It doesn't matter whether he is shocked or surprised!
Xiao He didn't care about dignity or not. He clenched his fists and looked at Ying Yuan nervously.

"Sir, how much did you say just now?"

"How much is the yield per acre?"

Ying Yuan was not surprised to see Xiao He's nervous expression. Instead, he smiled and spoke loudly.

"The yield per mu is about 2,000 kilograms!"

"If it is properly cared for and the fields are fertile, it can rise even higher!"

hiss……

Xiao He gasped for air on the spot, and then he started to wander back and forth in the main hall of Li Si's house muttering to himself and not caring about anything.

But as he walked, he kept looking up and down and muttering something, which made Ying Yuan stunned.

Isn't this a bit too much?

Xiao He turned around ten or so circles and then stopped.

After coming back to his senses, he turned around and bowed deeply to Ying Yuan.

"I have lost my temper, please forgive me, sir!"

Ying Yuan waved his hand generously: "It's just a little reaction out of excitement, Feng Chang doesn't need to take it to heart!"

Xiao He raised his body after hearing this.

However, at this moment, although he no longer had the crazy look he had just had, his eyes were still red.

He let out a long breath, then looked at the two people in front of him with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry to make you two laugh!"

"The truth is that I was just a clerk before, and I lived in a remote place like Pei County. I have seen too many tragedies caused by people just for a bite of food!"

Xiao He's expression seemed as if he was sighing, or reminiscing about something, but in the end, all he got was a sigh.

“Alas, young master, Prime Minister Li, you may not be able to imagine the scenes that Xiao saw in his early years.”

"The tragedy of a whole family starving to death really happened right in front of Xiao!"

"It's too awful!"

"To the point that Xiao feels that no matter how you die, it is not as tragic as dying of starvation."

"Because people are extremely hungry, they will do anything to survive!"

"People at that time were not much different from wild beasts!"

Xiao He seemed to have thought of some memory that he didn't want to recall, and his face looked particularly ugly for a moment.

Li Si's face also didn't look very good at this moment.

Because he has been poor before and has seen more!

As one of the few poor children in the Qin court, Li Si suffered a lot in his early years in order to study and become an official.

Not to mention that he traveled to many countries in his early years and witnessed the tragedy of the people's miserable life at the end of the Warring States Period.

Therefore, although he was familiar with the scene that Xiao He described, he did not feel too much empathy for it.

After all, he is the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Doesn't he have any face?
In fact, not only Li Si was unable to empathize, but Ying Yuan was also unable to understand the tragedy that Xiao He described.

"Well, this really stumped Yuan!"

"Yuan has learned about this situation from various channels!"

"But after all, I only know it from other people or books. I have never seen it with my own eyes!"

"This way, it loses some of its reality and tragedy!"

Xiao He smiled miserably and shook his head.

"Since you have never seen it, I hope you will never see that kind of scene in your life."

"That's really not a good look!"

"Besides, since you already have that kind of immortal food, what are you waiting for?" "Shouldn't you promote it to the world right away?"

"Then the people of Daqin will no longer have to worry about famine!"

Xiao He was obviously quite excited about this issue, so much so that he was not as low-key and concealing as usual.

Ying Yuan didn't care about these things. He even hoped that Xiao He would be more motivated.

He planned to leave the future work to Li Si and Xiao He.

Especially Xiao He, a potential top-notch worker!

Shouldn't he be quickly...convinced, and then allowed to give full play to his subjective initiative?
Xiao He knocked on the table and said frankly, "What did Feng Chang say?"

"If there is enough food for planting now, then Yuan will naturally not hesitate to promote it vigorously."

"But due to the limited amount of food, we are still vigorously breeding at this time!"

"As for spreading it to the whole country, that is the job of you two, Li Xiang and Feng Chang!"

"My Prince Regent, I hope you can use three years to increase my Great Qin's grain production tenfold!"

"What?"

Xiao He exploded again.

It’s really that Ying Yuan’s goal is too terrifying.

But Li Si still looked calm and composed.

It was as if what Ying Yuan had just handed in was just a simple errand.

Not worth mentioning!
But Xiao He didn't have enough work experience. He looked at Ying Yuan in surprise and asked cautiously.

"Sir, three years? Ten times?"

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"I don't mind if I have to work harder. I also believe in the magic of the immortal food you prepared."

"But isn't a tenfold increase in production in three years a bit too shocking?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan shook his head solemnly.

"It's not that Yuan wants to be mysterious!"

"Rather, this new type of food called sweet potato has such an amazing yield!"

"Compared to the millet that is widely planted in our Great Qin, the yield of sweet potatoes is more than just miraculous."

"However, since Xiao Fengchang feels that three years is a bit too tight, then let's change it to five years!"

"After five years of continuous breeding and gradual promotion, we will finally eliminate the risk of famine in the world!"

Upon hearing what Ying Yuan said, even someone as experienced as Li Si couldn't help but blush with excitement.

However, compared to Xiao He, who was eager to roll up his sleeves and get to work right away, he seemed as calm as a mountain.

"What the young master said is absolutely true!"

"I also feel that three years is too short a time. Five years is the most appropriate time!"

"But, I wonder where did you get this kind of food from?"

"Could you tell me something?"

"I also want to send someone to see if we can find some different seeds!"

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he pretended to be nonchalant and spoke.

"Prime Minister Li, please don't ask!"

"The whole world of this thing is unpredictable!"

"Yuan also spent some time and effort to figure it out!"

"As for whether I was cheating or robbing, it doesn't matter at this point!"

"Instead of worrying about these things, why don't you think about how to grow these sweet potatoes all over the world in five years!"

"You know, when it comes to the harvest from their own fields, the people are not so easy to talk to!"
