Fast time travel: Cannon fodder female supporting role she quit

Chapter 448 I am a palace maid in Da Qin (12)

"So you are here to participate in the auction, so you have to work harder. Many people have come to participate in this auction during this period." The smile on the old man's face became even bigger, and it was also thanks to this auction. It made him a lot of money.

The expressions of the shopkeepers did not change. They had already expected this. If they came all the way here, others would definitely come too. After all, no one wanted to give up the opportunity to become an imperial merchant.

They don't want to worry about participating in the auction for the time being, what matters now is this.

"Old man, what is this stone mill? Can we go take a look?" Shopkeeper Chen still had a smile on his face. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the old man selling pancakes looked at him warily, "What do you want to do? ?" Could it be that I want to steal their stone mill? No, it was given to them by His Majesty. If they lose it, let alone whether His Majesty will hold them accountable, it will be difficult for them to eat noodles in the future.

He had heard that someone really stole the stone mill. Fortunately, the people in that village sent people to guard it at night so that it was not stolen. Otherwise, their village would be a sinner now. After all, several nearby villages pointed at their village. What about the stone grinding surface?

Shopkeeper Chen quickly said, "Old man, you have misunderstood us. We are just curious about what can grind the flour you are talking about and make so much food."

The old man still didn't let down his guard and said, "There's nothing interesting to see. If you want to see it, you can see it when His Majesty has someone install it for you." So don't try to take advantage of them.

Shopkeeper Chen wanted to say something else, but the old man didn't give him a chance and just picked up the load and left. Now in the eyes of the old man selling pancakes, they are just bad guys who want to take away the stone mill in their village.

"What on earth is this thing that can make something so delicious?" Shopkeeper Chen was really curious, not only about the stone mill, but also about the person who invented it.

And what shocked them the most was that Qin Shihuang would install stone mills for the Guizhou leaders for free to improve their lives. He was a tyrant. Would a tyrant do such a thing?
"Brother Chen, don't think about this now. Let's think about tomorrow. We don't know what the situation will be yet."

"Yeah, I guess."

"Yes, there are businessmen from all over Xianyang now. There are only a few places, so you may not be able to grab them."

"Let's see tomorrow."

This scene not only happened to them, but also to other businessmen who came to Xianyang.

Everyone was shocked by the changes in Xianyang. It was not that they had never been to Xianyang, but Xianyang was a little more lively than other places, definitely not as it is now, as if they and Xianyang were completely different worlds.

They can't help but look forward to tomorrow's auction.

In the past, people from the Six Kingdoms were silent when they saw the changes in Xianyang, and Zhang Liang was even more silent. He had just not paid attention to Xianyang for a while, but Xianyang had changed so much.

He also didn't believe that the tyrant Qin Shihuang would actually consider the leaders of Guizhou and install stone mills for them for free so that they could eat better food.

But he had already checked it out, and it was indeed true, and he was almost arrested as a thief. If he hadn't run so fast, he might have been in jail now.

This road was also built by Qin Shihuang. Even the paper that is now extremely popular among scholars was made by him. They all said that Qin Shihuang had gods to help him, but he didn't believe it. How could gods help a tyrant? Qin Shihuang He is clearly a tyrant, how can the gods help him?

Xianyang Palace.Lin Wan exchanged some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn from the system. After cooking them, she divided some among the palace maids who were waiting for her. She put the rest in food boxes and carried them to the palace where Qin Shihuang approved the memorial. When she saw Zhang Han at the door, she She prepared it separately and gave it to him. She had become familiar with Zhang Han after coming here so many times. Sometimes she would prepare some food for Qin Shihuang to try, and Zhang Han would also prepare some for Zhang Han, and Zhang Han also refused from the beginning. Accept it naturally now.

"Thank you, Miss Lin." Zhang Han thanked him. He knew that Miss Lin must have something to see His Majesty, otherwise she would not come. Generally, when she comes to His Majesty, she must have thought of some good ideas, otherwise she would rarely show up on her own initiative. In front of His Majesty.

Every time she took the initiative, she always came up with a way or something that would benefit the country and the people. Although he didn't know what it was, his intuition told him that it should be food. After all, it was so delicious.

"These are edible. You have to peel them off before you can eat them. If you peel off the corn husk, you can quickly gnaw the beard inside. Only the golden ones inside can be eaten. The corn cob in the middle cannot be eaten." Lin Wan warned that this was not available in Daqin, and it was normal for him not to eat it. The main thing was corn, which could be eaten with or without the skin. Some people even preferred to eat it without peeling the skin.

"Okay, thank you Miss Lin." Zhang Han smiled. Although he had already guessed that it was food, he was still a little surprised when it was actually confirmed. After all, this thing has never been seen in Daqin, and it smelled sweet, so I guess Miss Lin must have found it somewhere, Zhang Han guessed.

Lin Wan nodded to him and went in carrying the food box, "See your majesty."

"No courtesy." Qin Shihuang said without raising his head as he looked at the memorial. Lin Wan did not show politeness to him either. She sat down on the chair and waited quietly for Qin Shihuang to finish approving the memorial.

Soon Qin Shihuang put down the memorial and walked towards her, "What good things did you bring?"

"It's a good thing to solve your Majesty's troubles." Lin Wan said with a smile.

Qin Shihuang looked at her meaningfully, "Oh? What good thing?"

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are good things to fight hunger. Whether it is a year of famine or a good harvest, these are all good things. They can solve the problem of hunger in Guizhou. In later generations, sweet potatoes will feed many people in years of famine."

Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Seriously? How much is the yield per mu?" If there really is such a good thing, then why would his people in Qin be hungry?

"The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes can reach [-] jins per acre, just a little more. The yield of corn is less, but it can also reach [-] jins per acre." She said these yields are small, after all, if they don't grow so many jins. It's embarrassing, but now the output she said is definitely achievable.

"The yield per mu is four thousand kilograms?" Qin Shihuang was shocked. He originally thought that the rice in their later generations could be so high-yielding as a special case, but he did not expect that other rice could also do it. No wonder it could feed so many people.

"Yeah, and it's very convenient to plant. It can be planted almost anywhere. If the land is not good, the yield will be lower, and if the land is good, the yield will be higher."

"Your Majesty, let's try it first." Lin Wan said calmly, "If you think it's good, you won't eat it no matter how popular it is."

Qin Shihuang nodded, but he thought in his heart that if he could eat enough, he would have to promote it if it didn't taste good. This was food. If he was very hungry, who would care whether it tasted good or not.

However, the result that he was worried about did not appear. The sweet potatoes were unexpectedly delicious, sweet and soft, and they were perfect for use as food. If the yield was as she said, then Daqin really didn't have to worry about starvation.
