Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 109 Yield of [-] catties per mu is really auspicious of Qin Dynasty!
Even up to this moment, Wang Jian and those generals all think that this is inappropriate.

But Emperor Shihuang and Li Si's eyes lighted up, thinking that this could be a try.

They usually deal with more government affairs, and of course they have a longer-term economic vision than those generals.

Just having enough food for the people and soldiers is nothing.

If the people can live happily, productivity will naturally increase, consumption and the economy will also increase a lot, and the country will be able to manufacture more weapons!
It's okay to feed the enemy. Use their money, make it into a weapon and hit them!

The First Emperor and Li Si looked at each other, but neither of them knocked on the table immediately to make sure.

Although the pie painted by Chang Yu is big enough, it will collapse if there is no support for it.

They need to return to Xianyang Palace to conduct more detailed research and perfect this pie.

Chang Yu also knew that there were many flaws, and he didn't object to their statement that they wanted to deepen their research.

After all, he didn't study economics, at best he was a farmer.

Tens of thousands of armored soldiers stood guard with swords.

Starting from the seaside camp, one person will go to the forest in three steps.

"Collect all the watermelons!"

Chang Yu stood by the watermelon field, his heart ached like he was bleeding!

The previously good watermelon field was almost trampled by those soldiers.

Fortunately, although they have never seen a watermelon, they also know not to step on it.

Although a lot is broken, there are still many that are fine.

If it wasn't for the chaotic scene that day, if Chang Yu knew who had stepped on it, he would have appointed to go up and fight him to death!
There are similar scenes elsewhere.

Although the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field are all harvested.

However, many crops were still confiscated, and it happened that the army came over and let them collect them.

"Be careful!"

"That can't be eaten raw!"

"You you you! Don't be lazy!"

Wang Ben jumped up and down anxiously on the ridge of the field.

Then it's all baby stuff!
To be treated so rudely by these fucking soldiers!
Looking at the whole world, there are thousands of people densely packed.

Like a field mouse harvesting food, digging with all his might.

Although it was hard work, none of them could hide their joy.

Unexpectedly, what Chang Yu said turned out to be true!
This kind of food really yields thousands of catties per mu!
They really haven't figured out the exact value, and even Chang Yu has vaguely estimated it.

The measurement units of modern times and Daqin are different.

The few thousand catties Chang Yu mentioned and the few thousand catties they talked about are also two different concepts.

Even before Wang Ben and Li Si, Chang Yu threatened to have no food and collected food with their lives.

That was also a piece of land that was just ready to be harvested, and Chang Yu was too lazy to harvest it.

But it doesn't mean that there are no other crops on the island.

It's just that they haven't reached maturity, so they have been idle for the past two months.

Although they are not fully mature yet, they are already leaving, so it would be a pity not to accept them.

Just Wang Ben and Li Si can take over a large warehouse, and it is conceivable how much the thousands of soldiers can take.

Almost the warehouse of a large ship is almost full!

That's several times the size of Chang Yu's granary!

Not to mention Chang Yu who was surprised, even the First Emperor and others were dumbfounded.

It is not a problem that a large ship can hold tens of thousands of catties of grain.

On the contrary, at this moment, a big ship is full, and the grain in the field has not been harvested yet.
I don't know if the 10,000+ catties of food on the island can be taken away in the end
"Your Majesty!"

Li Si grabbed the paper in one hand and hurried over with a pen in the other.

"Aiqing, why are you in such a panic?" Shi Huangdi was enjoying the cool under the umbrella supported by the soldiers.

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, yield per mu. They're out!"

Looking at Li Si, who was panting heavily, he felt that he was making a fuss over a molehill, so there was nothing surprising about it. Don't lose your identity.

"How many?"

"There is more than thirteen thousand catties"

When Li Si reported the value, his voice and body were trembling.

Bang!

Wang Ben, who was jumping on the field ridge, slipped and fell to the ground.

The First Emperor also petrified on the spot, with his mouth open and his face full of disbelief.

A few thousand catties per mu is already shocking, and more than 1 catties per mu. What is the concept?
Planting one acre of sweet potatoes or potatoes can feed a family of six, not to mention a family of three!
Not to mention the yield of more than 1 catties per mu. I am afraid that a village of [-] households can feed for a year!
The soldiers in the field dug holes one by one on the ground as if in a daze.

Worry about scratching the potatoes with tools, dig the whole with your hands like pulling out a carrot.

Even though his hands were scratched by sand and the skin was bleeding, he didn't cry out in pain or stop.

Whenever they dug sweet potatoes or potatoes that were the size of a fist but the size of a palm, everyone burst into tears.

Although they had eaten it, they seemed to be in a dream, and even suspected that it was a blind trick cast by the immortal.

Until this moment, when they were actually, dug out of the earth and held in their arms, they were definitely real.

This is a potato, this is a sweet potato, it can be eaten as a vegetable or as a meal!

Although the generals and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are all iron-blooded men, men who bleed, sweat and not cry.

But they also experienced the great famine era of life and death, watching helplessly as their comrades or relatives starved to death.

Why did Qin State attack other countries?
Because I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, I went to capture the city to attack the country and open a warehouse to release food for a meal.

Since Yingzheng came to power, various natural disasters and man-made disasters have followed one after another.

Locust plagues, drought, there is not a drop of water for a hundred miles, let alone a grain harvest within a thousand miles.

In order not to be starved to death, he had no choice but to brave the risk of death and send troops to attack other countries to grab food.

Even so, there are still many people who cannot bear it and starve to death.

From Qin State to Da Qin, how many people are there?

Counting the people from the six countries who came here, it is only about 2000 million
In the magic city of 0202, there are more than 2000 million people.

Even though Daqin has a large territory, it is not good at farming and the tax is too heavy. Many people can say that they will not be able to survive.

With these potatoes and sweet potatoes, the yield per mu is more than [-] catties
With this batch of food, they can live without being starved to death, and there will be a lot left after paying taxes!
A soldier was pulling with a Mao gun and accidentally cut a potato in half.

Without anyone else noticing, he turned the sharp edge of the spear and slashed towards his neck.

The First Emperor gave the order before starting.

Those who dare to damage the auspiciousness will be killed.

Fortunately, Chang Yu was right next to him, and he kicked him down just in time, so that he could escape the sharp spear that was thrown at him.

"Isn't it just a potato? As for paying for your own life?"

Chang Yu picked up the potatoes: "You didn't mean it, don't be afraid that your majesty will offend you, I will help you if there is anything."

After the words fell, Chang Yu took a bite and gnawed raw!

In front of the stunned soldiers who were crying, he swallowed raw potatoes and some soil.

"Look, it's not inedible to split it in half."

It's okay to accidentally scratch it, and you don't need to sacrifice your life to get it.

The soldier was so moved that he burst into tears, he was stunned for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

"Don't try to take the opportunity to be lazy!"

Chang Yu pretended to be annoyed and glared at the soldier.

"Hurry up and continue digging, and try to pack up and get on the boat before dark!"
