Clone of the heavens: I activated spiritual energy recovery

"Your Majesty, ordinary people have no second thoughts. Please listen to my explanation."

"I will allow you to defend yourself. If you cannot satisfy me and the officials, I will punish your three clans."

[Damn it, I don’t have any three tribes to kill. Doesn’t that mean I can become a prodigal? Anyway, I’m all alone. Brother Zheng will kill the threat of the three tribes. Let’s sprinkle water on it]

Although Zhang Shi was full of rebellious thoughts in his heart, he was serious and absolutely loyal and patriotic.

"Your Majesty, the common people think that Baiyue Land can be conquered or not."

"The purpose of conquering the land of Baiyue in the south is to produce three crops of rice a year and increase the grain production of our Daqin. The war is for grain. If we can increase grain production without fighting, it is naturally better not to fight."

"Your Majesty, the common people are not talented, but they happen to know some farming skills, which can help our Qin Dynasty increase its food production three or four times without going to war."

"It only takes one to two years to increase the grain output of Daqin three to four times. Once we have enough money and grain, we can naturally conquer the land of Baiyue in the south and collect the rice. In this way, we can not only open up the territory and expand the territory, but also It can add a new staple food to our Great Qin and make our Great Qin richer."

Zhang Shicai opened his mouth to defend himself and said a few nonsense words that everyone knew. Feng Quji and Prime Minister Feng, who had previously opposed him, jumped out and could not tolerate a child with a yellow mouth speaking nonsense in a hall full of powerful people.

"Your Majesty, this boy is young, but he tells lies and deceives Your Majesty. I ask Your Majesty to convict this boy and punish the three clans of this boy."

As soon as Feng Quji opened his mouth, hundreds of officials followed suit, demanding severe punishment for Zhang Shi.

After listening to Zhang Shi's words, they thought Zhang Shi had some great ideas. Then a group of people felt that Zhang Shi was talking big words, just like Zhao Kuo, who talked about military affairs on paper. If one person could increase the grain output of Qin Dynasty by three or four times, why would Qin Dynasty still be like this? Lack of food.

For them, it is completely impossible for Da Qin to increase its grain production by three or four times.

What they couldn't do, how could a kid with a yellow mouth do it? At this time, they had already concluded that Zhang Shi was just like those alchemists. How could they deceive Ying Zheng and let Ying Zheng give Zhang Shi a favor in the court? Opportunity to showcase yourself.

[If no one jumps out, how can I highlight my abilities?]

[Feng Quji, Prime Minister Zuo, what should I say? At the end of Qin Dynasty, he died tragically. His whole family was killed by Hu Hai, and the three clans were wiped out]

[The hundreds of officials present were not much better, they were almost all killed by Hu Hai]

[Damn, Hu Hai is such a prodigal son. The Qin Dynasty had a good start, but it was ruined by this piece of shit. There is also the eunuch Zhao Gao who didn’t hang up. If he hadn’t gained power, maybe the Qin Dynasty would not have perished.]

Zhang Shi thought like this, but he was not angry at the officials' doubts. After all, a group of guys who were extremely miserable in history could not be compared to them.

Ying Zheng was greatly shaken when he heard Zhang Shi's inner voice. His complexion suddenly turned bad and he could no longer maintain his dignity.

He could understand that when he died of illness and Fusu was given death, it was most likely that his beloved eighteenth son Hu Hai would succeed him, but he did not expect that Hu Hai would be so cruel.

He felt that it was normal for Zhao Gao to be involved.

He asked Zhao Gao to teach Hu Hai, and Hu Hai naturally listened to Zhao Gao's words. Zhao Gao also had some tricks. Hu Hai had not been taught by him, and there was a high possibility of being manipulated by Hu Hai.

Zhang Shi came from after 2000, and the history of the Qin Dynasty must have been recorded at that time.

Just like the current Qin Dynasty has historical records of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, and now Zhang Shi is thinking about the history of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng has to believe it, and even through reasonable deduction, he feels that it is very likely to be true. .

All the officials in the palace immediately shut up, and Zhang Shi also obediently remained silent.

At this time, Ying Zheng looked unhappy, and the officials didn't know whether they had offended Ying Zheng, or whether Zhang Shi's nonsense had offended Ying Zheng.

Of course, the officials would not admit that they had offended Ying Zheng. They all felt that Ying Zheng had figured out that Zhang Shi was deceiving Ying Zheng, which made Ying Zheng angry.

[Why does Brother Zheng suddenly look bad? It seems that 48-year-old Brother Zheng is indeed not in good health, and that rubbish golden elixir is poisoning his body. It’s no wonder he is in good health. No wonder he died at the age of 48. Without the golden elixir, he would not be alive. Over fifty is not a problem]

[Hey, no, I have to find an opportunity to recuperate Brother Zheng’s body, so that Brother Zheng can live to be seven or eighty years old. If he reigns for a few more decades, Da Qin will be able to dominate the world]

Zhang Shi had a yellow dragon on his face, but he was still feeling jealous in his heart and gave Ying Zheng another heavy blow.

After a while, Ying Zheng's complexion improved.

Baiguan and Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief. If something went wrong with Ying Zheng, they would all have to be together today.

"Zhang Shi, continue, I am interested in your method of increasing Da Qin's grain output by three or four times."

"Prime Minister Feng, and dear friends, please continue to listen, and you will criticize and refute Zhang Shi after he finishes speaking."

All the officials looked at each other in shock and did not dare to say anything. They just became more and more unfriendly to Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shize continued.

"Your Majesty, the common people have three ways to increase the grain output of Great Qin."

"First, the grassroots people invented an instrument called the curved shaft plow, which can cultivate the land to an arm's depth." (The classic is coming)

"Second, the grassroots people have also improved the iron smelting method, which can increase the production of iron. If there is more iron in Daqin, more weapons and agricultural tools can be forged. If there are more agricultural tools and they are sharper, farmers can naturally plant more land."

After Zhang Shi finished speaking this second point, all the officials were shocked, and Ying Zheng was also surprised.

"Zhang Shi, let me ask you, do you really have a way to smelt more iron?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the common people dare not deceive Your Majesty. The common people have better ways to smelt iron ore and increase the production of ironware."

[Hey, this is nothing, just a little advanced technology. The annual iron output of later generations is measured in ten thousand tons. Nowadays, one stone is only sixty kilograms in later generations, and one ton is two thousand kilograms. The current iron output of Daqin is at most ten thousand tons per year. , too little]

[However, current conditions are limited. It is possible to increase iron production by more than ten times. I also know where to find iron ore. I will have to improve the mining technology later.]

Ying Zheng was very happy to hear Zhang Shi's voice. He was even more curious about what Zhang Shi said about the future situation. What kind of place could have such terrible productivity and creativity.

"Zhang Shi, we'll discuss the iron issue later. You continue to talk about ways to increase grain production."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Ying Zheng is concerned about the iron production problem, he still has to solve the food problem first.

Food is the foundation of the country. Only with food can the country do other things.

"Your Majesty, the third method for grassroots people is to build water conservancy projects and increase the irrigation rate of farmland."

"The common people have their own plans for building water conservancy projects. Ministers, please don't refute me. After I come up with the plan, you ministers will not be late to refute it."

Zhang Shi knew that when he talked about building water conservancy, a group of ministers would definitely refute, so he blocked the ministers' mouths with words. You can refute if you want, but let me come up with my eh first and then refute. Let's speak with facts.

The ministers also felt uncomfortable being blocked, but they couldn't say much and could only listen to Zhang Shi continue to speak.

"Your Majesty, these three methods can at least triple or four times increase food production."

"The grassroots are talking nonsense now. Your Majesty and your lords may not believe it. Please give the grassroots some fertile land and wait for half a year. Then you will naturally know whether what the grassroots says is true or false."

Farmers in the Qin Dynasty farmed without more good farm tools and had to rely on the weather. If there was a bad climate, the crops would really not produce much food.

Moreover, when sowing, the seeds can only be planted in a shallow layer of soil. As the fields are planted for a long time, the fertility of the surface soil decreases, and naturally not much food can be grown.

Due to the combination of various factors, one or two stones of grain per acre is considered good.

It’s not that farmers don’t work hard, but no matter how hard the environment and tools are, no matter how hard they work, they will just repeat the same mistakes and be unable to break through the existing upper limit.

Improve agricultural tools, increase field utilization, build water conservancy projects, and curb the impact of climate on fields, and food production will naturally increase.

[Hey, farming is also a profound knowledge. In later generations, the yield of one acre of land was two thousand kilograms, which is the model of farming knowledge. I miss Grandpa Yuan again]

[But now that I have arrived in this era, I naturally have to change some things. Food is the most important thing for the people. If there is more food, people's lives will naturally be easier]

Ying Zheng listened to Zhang Shi's voice and gained some understanding of Zhang Shi's personality. More importantly, he had expectations for Zhang Shi's knowledge. He expected Zhang Shi to change Great Qin and make Great Qin better through the knowledge of future generations.

Then, Ying Zheng said.

"Zhang Shi, I will give you [-] farmers and [-] hectares of fertile land. In half a year, I hope what you said will come true and the grain production will increase three or four times."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the opportunity to prove myself."

"I will ask Fusu to help you. If you have any questions, you can contact Fusu. If you are not rewarded with a title for the time being, I will make you a companion. You can freely enter and leave Wangyi Palace. If Fusu cannot solve the problem, you can come at any time. Come to me and I will solve all your problems."

"Thank you Your Majesty for the gift."

All the officials praised Ying Zheng for his wisdom. Although they sometimes opposed Ying Zheng for their own interests, Da Qin's grain output could be increased three or four times, which was of great benefit to them, the officials and powerful officials.

Every official and powerful person has a field, and the food production will triple or four times, which means that the food they will own in the future will also triple or four times.

Even though the officials and dignitaries felt that Zhang Shi was just talking on paper, they still had expectations in their hearts. They expected Zhang Shi to get things done. They were quite supportive of things that were beneficial.
