The system forced me to be emperor

When the first treasure was taken out, Xiao Rui clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "YES"!
"My Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, this thing is called Sweet Potato. It has strong adaptability, and has excellent characteristics that are not suitable for any land. It can produce dozens of stones per mu, which is twenty times better than seed grain! Your Majesty, this thing can be eaten raw or cooked. , the yield is not only high, but also resistant to barrenness, not inferior to potatoes and corn, it is definitely a good treasure to solve the famine!" Shen Wansan said excitedly.
"Really? There is such a treasure!"
Emperor Xia was overjoyed. Corn and potatoes made him extremely happy. Unexpectedly, a new crop came. He immediately cut a piece of sweet potato and tasted it. It was crisp and juicy, and the taste was not bad.
Shen Wansan said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this plant is easy to plant. It only needs to prepare the ground for seedlings, and cutting vines can survive! It is a good crop for famine relief. The only bad feature is that it likes temperature and fears cold, and it is not cold-resistant, but it can be grown in the south. Plant on a large scale!"
Emperor Xia Zheng nodded and asked, "Is there any more?"
Shen Wansan ordered someone to take out another object, which was a white fluffy ball.
Xiao Rui really wanted to cheer, this is cotton!
During Shen Wansan's voyage this time, the three treasures that Xiao Rui dreamed of were: sweet potatoes, cotton and white pigs!
Then Shen Wansan introduced the characteristics of cotton to Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia was very pleasantly surprised. He stroked the cotton with both hands and felt the texture of cotton. He said hello three times in a row!
As long as cotton is promoted to the world, the people will have clothes to keep out the cold, and even if the temperature drops suddenly, so many people will not die.
Next, Shen Wansan took out some rare treasures, but unfortunately, without the white pigs that Xiao Rui needed, it seemed impossible to improve the local black pigs in Daxia.
On the way back to the palace, His Majesty still loved sweet potatoes and cotton.
"Prince, in the next two years, the main task of me and you is to let potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton spread all over the territory of Daxia! Let the people recognize the goodness of these new crops and actively plant them! Other things can be postponed! Including the champion You are not in a hurry to attack Qi!" Emperor Xia said solemnly.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I understand!"
Both Daxia and Qin will manage the occupied territory, so the western border is very safe.In the south, there is Yan State as a barrier, so there is no need to worry about Wei State.The north ordered the champion Hou to garrison in Fengtian, and there was no need to continue to attack Qi, because at this time Qi had already started civil strife, and Daxia only needed to wait quietly, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The winter in Qi State is too cold today, coupled with the lack of food, under the conditions of hunger and cold, hundreds of thousands of refugees died of freezing and starvation.Fortunately, the weather is cold, if the weather is hot, the plague may occur!It will lead to a greater disaster!
The status quo of Qi reminded Emperor Xia, so after he got sweet potatoes and cotton, he couldn't wait to promote it to the world.
What Daxia needs to do now is to keep accumulating strength and prepare for the Little Ice River, not to expand the territory!
When the Little Ice Age broke out completely, when other countries were in dire straits, and when Daxia had no worries about food and clothing, it was the beginning of Daxia's conquest of the world!
Back in the palace, Emperor Xia immediately exchanged for several cabinet scholars, and everyone began to discuss how to promote sweet potatoes and cotton.
In the next few days, Xiao Rui also started his plan. He suggested to His Majesty to send Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji to the north to follow Champion Hou.
Although Champion Hou's army will not continue to attack Qi, the small fights there will not stop.Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji are legendary generals on the battlefield, it would be too wasteful to stay by Xiao Rui's side as guards, I believe that with their abilities, they will definitely be able to make a great reputation in Qi State.
At the same time, Xiao Rui sent Guo Jia to the country of Wa by boat, and he had his own plan, so let's not mention it for now.
After Shen Wansan handled the goods brought back by the voyage, he immediately set off for Anxi Fourteen Prefectures to assist Xiao He in making Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank even bigger!
So far, only Li Yuanfang and Jia Xu are left beside Xiao Rui.
It is the greatest respect for these descendants to let them display their talents, instead of letting them stay by their side and become their own guards and counselors.
Seeking things is the way, but seeking the world is the way.
Next, Xiao Rui's work focus will also shift from studying politics to governing the country. He plans to spend one to two years starting from the four aspects of basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to completely create a brand new and vibrant Great Summer!
This was the goal he and Emperor Xia had jointly formulated after discussing for a long time.
Together with Daxia, come on!
Chapter 568: Emperor Qin is Roaring
The sun and the moon rotate, and the white horse passes by. Before you know it, a year and a half has passed.
It was August of the 25th year of Yongli.
The autumnal equinox is approaching, and the people are preparing to sow wheat. At the same time, the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields have also been harvested, and the fruits are abundant.
Although this year's summer has experienced an unprecedented hot summer, severe drought occurred in a large area, and the rice production has been greatly reduced, but fortunately, the diversified planting of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes has prevented the hard-working people from losing their harvest.
Since Shen Wansan returned from sailing to bring back sweet potatoes and cotton in March last year, the Daxia court began to comprehensively promote new crops in the territory, forcing the people to plant them. After a year and a half of promotion, at this moment, whether it is Daxia territory It is the newly expanded Anxi [-] prefectures, all of which are planted in a variety of ways. After seeing the advantages of the new crops, the people are naturally happy from ear to ear.
On the other hand, the other five countries are miserable.
The Yuan Kingdom, the northernmost country, has experienced a severe winter of minus [-] degrees. Countless cattle, sheep and horses froze to death. When everything should recover in the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have not yet melted.After finally waiting for the ice and snow to melt, the temperature suddenly rose. Under a series of blows, there was turmoil in the country of Yuan. In order to appease the tribes, the Khan of the country of Yuan sent troops south again to plunder the country of Qi.
It's just...the ten rooms and ten rooms in the northern part of Qi State have been robbed, and the temperature drops in winter and drought in summer. The fertile fields in the northern part of Qi State have greatly reduced production and even failed to harvest, making it even more difficult for the people of Qi State who are already short of food.Therefore, in the face of the invading Yuan army, the remaining people in the north also left their homes and became refugees and migrated to the south.
The Yuan army had no choice but to continue to loot south.
At this time, in the territory of Qi State, peasant uprisings continued to spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the number of them made Emperor Qi scratch his head in a hurry to suppress them frantically.And the first three insurgents were very fierce, and they had already occupied several states and made themselves kings.
Now that the Yuan army looted again, Qi Huang sat paralyzed on the dragon chair, unable to gather troops to fight against the Yuan army.
The only thing that made Emperor Qi rejoice was that the soldiers and horses of Daxia had never moved, and they had been stationed in Fengtian.However, the territory south of Fengtian City has also been reduced to the territory of Daxia. Originally, it was expected that the righteous soldiers of Qi State could rise up and resist, but they surrendered to Daxia in less than a year, which once again verified the law of true fragrance.
Now Qi's internal turmoil and foreign enemies continue, and it is only a matter of God's disaster before it falls apart.
The situation of Yan Guo and Wei Guo is not optimistic either.
These two countries have been fighting for a few months before a truce. God has not spared any country. Some places in Yan State and Wei State are devastated, and some places have floods. The people are already living in dire straits and rely on the relief of the imperial court, and the country dare not go to war to waste resources.
Then there is the powerful Qin State.
Again, God has not spared any country.
There was also drought and locust plagues in Qin State, especially the terrible locusts swept across several counties in Daqin, resulting in no grain harvest.However, the state of Qin has a solid background and is not as flustered as Qi and Yan.Look at the Emperor Qin, who sent 20 troops to the north from the occupied Zhao land and began to capture the Yuan Dynasty.Qin Huang has never forgotten his great cause of unifying the world. In his opinion, the more disasters occur frequently, this is an opportunity to take advantage of the general trend to unify China!
That's right, following the trend of the sky, this is indeed the best chance to unify China, because the disaster will hit every country hard, but unfortunately, Qin Huang encountered a cheating Daxia!
At this time, in the Qin Palace, Qin Huang was discussing matters with the prime minister.
On the dragon table in front of Qinhuang, there are corn, potatoes, cotton and sweet potatoes. These things are naturally stolen from Daxia, because the whole territory of Daxia has been fully diversified this year, and this result brought Qin Huang a lot of attention. Here comes the horror.
People in their own country have reduced food production or even no grains. Why can Daxia, which is also suffering from the disaster, still have a bumper harvest?
As early as last year, a spies reported to Emperor Qin that Emperor Daxia was promoting a brand-new crop and forced the people to plant it. At that time, Emperor Qin didn't care. He didn't expect that after more than a year, he would slap him in the face.
Li Si, Prime Minister of Qin State, was introducing the yield and advantages of new crops. The more he listened, Qin Huang's eyelids twitched violently.
"These four new crops appeared to survive the disaster. They have never appeared in the mainland of China before. Why did they suddenly appear?" Qin Huang said angrily.
Prime Minister Li Sidao: "Your Majesty, I suspect that Daxia found it from other regions through sailing. This is the only reason that can explain it. Moreover, for more than a year, all the work of Emperor Daxia has focused on the basic necessities of the people. Roads, digging rivers, promoting new crops, allowing people in coal mines to dig... Emperor Xia seems to know that the world is in turmoil and disasters are everywhere."
"We Daqin are now promoting this new crop, can we do it?" Qin Huang asked.
Li Si sighed, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is very difficult. There are a lot of seeds needed to spread the whole Qin State. Now Xia State prohibits the trade of these four new crops. Once discovered, they will be severely punished, especially for our Daqin. Stick to it. Even if we bring back some seeds by smuggling, it will take several years, or even longer, to promote the world!"
