Chapter 64: Arrangement to catch everyone in one fell swoop
"Immortal food?"

"What kind of thing can be worthy of the word 'immortal'?"

"Sir, farming is no joke!"

"..."

As soon as Ying Yuan said that, he was criticized by everyone at the scene!
It can be said that everyone in this era attaches great importance to farming.

Whether it is the continuation of their family or the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, everything is based on sufficient grain output.

It can even be said that the system of conferring titles based on military merit, which the Qin Dynasty was proud of and supported them in conquering the six kingdoms.

In the final analysis, it is still a redistribution of land!

Land means stable food production and the long-term continuation of the family.

Therefore, even Wang Jian, who usually hated to talk too much, could not hold it in anymore.

The First Emperor looked at this emotional scene and turned to look at Ying Yuan with interest.

But he found that Ying Yuan had a playful smile on his face, and he was looking at everyone quietly with full of evil taste.

This instantly calmed down the First Emperor, whose heart was also in turmoil.

'This kid seems to have other plans!'

'No hurry, take a look first!'

The observation of Ying Yuan, or to be more serious, the surveillance, has never been relaxed.

The Black Dragon Guards and the spies from the Black Ice Platform truly monitor the world.

These were all necessary means for the First Emperor to maintain the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor never concealed this fact.

So he suddenly remembered.

It seems that the sixth brother had tricked Xianglicheng of the Mohist school away from Fusu, and then instigated Xianglicheng to hook up with Nonglin, the hero leader of the Farmers' school.

It can be said that now the Mohist School and the Nong Family have become the helpers of their own Old Six without causing any disturbances in the outside world!
When the first emperor thought, perhaps his sixth son had some ideas about the throne.

Now it seems that this kid has more courage and breadth of mind than I thought!

The needle does not poke!
Ying Yuan watched as everyone finally calmed down, then he smiled and lifted up the inconspicuous sweet potato on the table that attracted everyone's attention.

"This thing is called sweet potato!"

"It was a coincidence that I got this."

"But the reason why I call this food immortal grain is because its yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms!"

"How many?"

The one who blurted out the exclamation was not Wang Ben, who was the most "straightforward".

On the contrary, it was the First Emperor who was usually the most calm and dignified.

He stood up with a look of horror on his face, staring at the insignificant sweet potato in Ying Yuan's hand with wide eyes, his whole body shaking with excitement.

"Ying Yuan, is this true?"

Hearing his father's impatient questioning, Ying Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Father, do you think I would joke about such a thing?"

"In fact, as far as I know, if this plant is planted properly, it should yield 3,000 kilograms per mu."

"It's just that due to many factors such as planting technology and soil fertility, the yield will increase or decrease."

"But, as long as we take care of it properly in the most basic way, we can still get a yield of one or two thousand per mu!"

"That's why I call this food Immortal Food!"

Ying Yuan said this with a smile, and then handed the sweet potato in his hand to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor, for once, was a little out of control. He took the unremarkable sweet potato with both hands and placed it in front of his eyes, examining it carefully as if it were a rare treasure.

At this time, not only him, but others also came up without hesitation. "Mr. Yuan, how should this be planted? Like planting a tree or ordinary crops? Is it cold-resistant? Is it drought-resistant?"

"Sir, have you arranged for the appropriate protection of this thing? How about I dispatch some elite personnel to you? They are definitely the most reliable!"

"Sixth brother, with this, our Great Qin will no longer have to worry about famine! You did a great job!"

"Mr. Yuan, I wonder how this thing is arranged now, and how it will be arranged in the future?"

"..."

A group of people surrounded Ying Yuan and the sweet potato in the hands of the First Emperor, looking at it in surprise and asking all kinds of questions that interested them.

For them, today's trip is worth it just for this thing.

Ying Yuan had anticipated everyone's excitement.

He waved his hand towards everyone, motioning for everyone to return to their seats, and then spoke loudly.

"I realize that you have many questions, and my answers are not systematic."

"Why don't I just sort it out and explain the situation to you in detail!"

After Ying Yuan said this, everyone finally calmed down.

They were eating snacks and drinking tea, and they looked as if they were waiting to hear a story.

Ying Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone seriously and said.

"I don't have much of this stuff, but it's enough to build a thousand acres of breeding farm."

"Therefore, I immediately asked my brother for Mo's Xiang Licheng."

"Then, through Xiang Licheng, I found the Nongjia Xia Chief!"

"After all, I would never dare to mess around with something that involves the immortal grain of the Great Qin Nation."

"All I know is some basic planting knowledge."

"But I don't know the details of how to further increase production, whether it can adapt to dry land and waterlogged land, how much water is needed for irrigation, etc."

"Therefore, I put the matter in the hands of the farmers!"

"I only know that if the cultivation is normal, the yield per mu is definitely 1,000 kilograms, and 2,000 kilograms should be the standard yield."

"The best yield should be 3,000 kilograms, but that requires favorable weather and excellent planting techniques!"

"The above is all I know about this immortal food and some of my previous arrangements."

After listening to this, everyone present silently recalled the knowledge and situations that Ying Yuan had just explained.

Li Si put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ying Yuan with a gleam in his eyes.

"Then why did you call me here today, Master? I just made it clear that I am not the person in charge of the imperial examination that you wanted."

"Then I dare to guess that you want me to be in charge of the immortal grain?"

Ying Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard that.

"That's right!"

"I have not reported this matter to my father before, because nothing has been arranged yet."

"The farmers are ready now, but the court cannot just ignore it."

"This not only involves the allocation of land, manpower, equipment, and materials during breeding, but also the protection of breeding fields and grain varieties."

"In my opinion, it would be best and safest to leave this matter to the Prime Minister of Great Qin and several generals with heavy troops!"

hiss……

When everyone heard this arrangement, they gasped.

It turns out that you want to catch everyone in one fell swoop!
