Chapter 138 Domineering Declaration
  Li Shimin was not the only emperor who was lucky, there were many emperors from various dynasties who also grabbed the blind box.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Hahaha, we are worthy of being the real dragon emperor. If we don’t take action, we will do it. Once we do, we will become a blockbuster. We grabbed potatoes with an output of one hundred shi per mu.

Looking at the round potatoes in the blind box, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Among all the crop seeds, the one he hoped to grab most was the most valuable potato, and he got it.

Queen Ma: Chongba, it’s really because of you that Ming Dynasty has potatoes, and the good days when people all over the world can live and work in peace and contentment are not far away.

Zhu Biao: My father, my mother, and my son and ministers grabbed eighty shi of sweet potatoes per mu. With potatoes and sweet potatoes, from now on, the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be hungry.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Biaoer, good job.

Seeing the prince grabbing the sweet potatoes, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became even brighter.

The yield of sweet potatoes is 80 shi per mu, and the yield of potatoes is 100 shi per mu. With these two artifacts, the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty is about to come.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed something unusual inside the blind box.

With doubts, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the booklet inside the blind box and read it.

Potato Growing Guide!

He asked the prince in surprise and found that there was also a booklet in the prince's blind box, which contained a guide to growing sweet potatoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the booklet and looked through it. He knew some of the characters, but there were also quite a few simplified characters that he didn't recognize.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Anchor, what is this potato growing guide?
  Zhu Yuanzhang's words aroused responses from other ancients, who also asked the anchor about the booklet inside the blind box they grabbed.

Su Chen saw many people asking questions and patiently answered them.

"Each blind box has a corresponding planting guide, and every step in the crop planting process is explained in detail."

"Everyone can plant crop seeds according to the planting guidelines, so that the crops grown will be of higher quality and more abundant."

"Of course, you can also plant according to your own experience in growing crops."

As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice. No matter how good the theory is, it must be tested in practice.

Su Chen was worried that there were differences between the environment in ancient times and later generations, and it would not be good to follow the planting guidelines completely.

Su Chen's words amazed the ancients of all dynasties. They did not expect that later generations would attach so much importance to growing good crops, and would even compile a pamphlet to guide farmers in planting.

This was completely impossible in their respective dynasties.

It is absolutely impossible for a scholar who has finally obtained the title to become a high official to return to the land to do farm work and sum up his experience to compile planting guides for the common people.

That's why everyone was so surprised when they heard that later generations specially compiled guides for growing various crops.

Until this time, everyone seems to understand why the yield per mu of crops in later generations is so high.

Daqin, Danyang County, Xujia Village.

Xu Erniu didn't hear a word of what Su Chen said.

The reason is very simple. Xu Erniu got lucky and grabbed the blind potato box.

But the moment I grabbed the blind box, I was stunned. My whole body was completely empty and I couldn't hear the sound of the outside world.

This scene frightened Xu Erniu's family. Seeing that Xu Erniu had snatched the blind box, before they could be ecstatic, they discovered something was wrong with Xu Erniu, and they all became extremely anxious. Finally, things turned around, and their family would become prosperous from now on. If something happened to the breadwinner of the family, the family really didn't know what to do.

The family took turns to fight, shaking and calling, and finally called Xu Erniu back.

Xu Erniu slowly regained consciousness and looked at the blind potato box he was holding tightly in his hands. Suddenly his blood pressure soared again and his face turned red with excitement.

Xu Erniu: Dad, Mom, Cuihua, Doudou, I got the potatoes, our family is about to make a fortune.

When Xu Erniu woke up, the first thing he did was to tell his parents, wife and son the shocking news, and share his joy with his family.

The moment the link was uploaded to the live broadcast room, he just rushed to buy it with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor showed up, and he actually snatched it away, and it was a potato with a yield of 100 shi per acre.

He knew very well what a hundred stone acres of potatoes meant.

Their family has ten acres of land, and after paying taxes, they can only have five shi of food left every year.

This five kilograms of food would last their family of five for a year, barely keeping them from going hungry.

But now that there are potatoes, it means that the annual harvest is one thousand dan. After excluding the ten dan of grain from taxes, there can be a remaining 990 dan of grain.

This amount of food is enough for their family of five to eat and drink for decades. The key is that this is only one year's potato production.

The five members of Xu Erniu's family were so excited that they couldn't find anything to say, and everyone's face showed their longing for a better future.

It was impossible to hide something as big as Xu Erniu's snatching of the blind potato box.

The moment Xu Erniu grabbed the blind box, some villagers in Xujia Village saw it.

Ever since, all the villagers in Xujia Village came to congratulate Xu Erniu, with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Ying Zheng looked at the blind box of corn he had grabbed, his face gloomy and his mood extremely bad.

Corn with a yield of twenty shi per mu is indeed very good, but it depends on what staple food it is compared with. Compared with sweet potatoes and potatoes, corn is far behind.

What Ying Zheng wants most is potatoes. Once potatoes with a yield of 100 shi per mu are promoted to all parts of the Qin Dynasty, people all over the world will have enough food and clothing, and the national power of the Qin Dynasty will be unprecedentedly strong.

But now, if there are no potatoes and only corn, the strength of Da Qin will be greatly reduced.

If he didn't know the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes per acre, he would be very excited to grab the corn yield of 20 shi per acre.

But now that he knew about sweet potatoes and potatoes, as the first emperor of Qin, he had to get such immortal seeds.

Ying Zheng: All the people of Da Qin, listen, I am Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. The crop seeds sold by the anchor are related to the country and the country of Da Qin. Now I order all the people of Da Qin who have grabbed the blind box to hand over the blind box immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey me. The decree is to kill the three tribes.

Ying Zheng: I advise people who have grabbed the blind boxes not to take chances and turn them in to the government immediately. It is impossible to hide the blind boxes you grabbed. Once you plant high-yielding crop seeds, they will inevitably be exposed. If someone hides the blind box secretly, I will reward anyone who reports it a thousand taels of silver.

As soon as Ying Zheng's domineering declaration came out, the people of Da Qin who had snatched the blind box were filled with fear and fear. They did not doubt His Majesty's cruel methods at all.

After the threat, Ying Zheng felt that it was almost done and began to show mercy.

Ying Zheng: Anyone who hands over potatoes and sweet potatoes will be rewarded with a fifteenth-level title and a thousand taels of gold. Anyone who submits rice, wheat, corn, or cotton will be rewarded with the rank of Zuo Shuchang, the tenth-level title, and a reward of one hundred taels of gold. Anyone who submits fruits and vegetables will be rewarded by a fifth-level doctor with one hundred taels of silver.
