Chapter 42

"Sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, sweet potato, etc., is a high-yield and adaptable food crop that is closely related to agricultural production and human life.

Roots can be used as staple food, and roots, stems, and leaves are excellent feed..."

After reading the information, Yingzheng showed a smile on his face: "Okay, okay!"

The main food crops of the kingdoms in the eastern part of Shenhuang are corn, wheat, millet, rice, adzuki beans and soybeans.

However, the yields are very low, and even the rice with the highest yield cannot compare with the yield of sweet potatoes.

Due to the drought and lack of rainfall in most parts of the Qin State, places such as Longxi can only grow more crops such as corn and wheat, which have low yields and require little water.

There are only a few places where rice is grown in Qin State, such as Hanzhong and the newly captured Bashu.

It can be seen that the grain output of Qin State is not high.

This also restricts the increase of Qin's population and the improvement of Great Qin's national strength.

But now, there are sweet potatoes, a high-yielding crop that can be grown in both dry and wet places.

As long as it is promoted on a large scale in Qin, it will definitely increase Qin's grain production, which will support more people and increase national strength.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was also quite excited and looking forward to it.

"Ding dong! Warm reminder, the host has set out a side mission: fully promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Qin within two years, and there will be rewards (unknown) for completing the mission."

At this time, the sound of the system sounded.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and with a thought, he said:
"extract!"

Immediately, several baskets of sweet potatoes appeared in front of Ying Zheng, with about a hundred tubers.

These are all seeds, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.

In the future, the comprehensive promotion of seed sweet potatoes in Daqin will rely on these baskets of sweet potato roots.

King Qin said: "Prime Minister Xuan came to see the widow."

"promise!"

The eunuch who was waiting outside the door went to deliver the order.

After a while, Prime Minister Sima Yi arrived.

"Your Majesty, what's the purpose of your summoning?" Sima Yi said.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and pointed to several baskets of sweet potato roots: "Prime Minister, what are these?"

Sima Yi didn't know sweet potatoes.

Seeing that the other party was confused, Ying Zheng told the prime minister in detail about the properties of sweet potatoes and how to grow them.

After Sima Yi learned about it, his face showed a look of shock, and he stood there in a daze.

Pfft!
Sima Yi came back to his senses, knelt down, and said loudly: "It is the good fortune of all people and the great Qin to have this fine breed!"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Prime Minister please, if sweet potatoes are planted in our Daqin shop, it will indeed be a blessing for all people and Daqin!"

"His Majesty!"

Sima Yi stood up and said solemnly, "Sweet potato seeds can only be spread in my Great Qin, and must not be spread to the Shandong countries! If they also get sweet potato seeds, it will be a disaster for my Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng thought so.

If Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Chu, Yan, Yue, Wu and other vassal states also planted sweet potatoes in large quantities, their population would surely increase and their national power would increase.

It can be said that other countries are all opponents of Qin, or enemies, and Qin naturally does not want to see the enemy become stronger.

Ying Zheng said: "Prime Minister, there are only a few baskets of sweet potato root seeds, and it is impossible to grow them in Qin State this year.

It's still too late to raise seedlings, you first take the sweet potato seeds to grow seedlings.

Then select suitable plots around Xianyang City and plant them secretly.

This year, a large number of sweet potato tubers were harvested and stored as grain seeds.

Wait for the spring of the next year to let the county governments distribute it to the local people for planting.

As for how to prevent the outflow of sweet potato seeds, you, Prime Minister, need to be more concerned. "

"No, Your Majesty!" Sima Yi bowed.

Then, he left with several baskets of sweet potato roots.

……

Although it is a happy thing to get the sweet potato seeds rewarded by the system, the young King Qin's face is still full of worry.

Recently, Ying Zheng felt that there was less and less talent, and he was desperate for talent.

For example, in this Longxi incident, he beheaded the censor and several censors, who should fill the vacated position?

Especially the position of doctor censor, whose duty is to command the censor platform, is very important.

For a while, Ying Zheng was not available.

The prime minister, Sima Yi, can only be appointed concurrently.

Originally, Li Si could be useful.

However, Berkshire also needs capable people to guard it.

In addition, after Yingzheng eliminated Lu Zong, the number one sect in the Great Qin Dynasty, he planned to take advantage of the situation and secretly unify the sects in the Qin realm.

All of them were taken under the wings of the royal court and were at their disposal.

This is a force to be reckoned with.

However, there is a lack of a capable person who is dedicated to this major event.

Ji Gang, Bai Qi, and Sima Yi, the three gods and demons, all have their own special responsibilities, and basically cannot be separated.

However, even if the three of them could be freed, Ying Zheng would not use them.

Because the king of Qin took over the world's sect for his own use, it was impossible to do it directly under the banner of the royal family like destroying Tianluzong.

Tian Lu Zong committed a rebellion, assassinated the King of Qin, and wanted to destroy the rule of the Ying family.

Yingzheng sent a large army to suppress it, which is justified and understandable.

It's not that he wants to be an enemy of the world's sects.

Even if the other powerful sects in Shenhuang East were dissatisfied and wanted to take revenge on the Qin royal family, they could not find a reason.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with wanting to add a crime.

It's just that Qin Wang Ting already has three great gods and demons in charge, and their strength is strong.

If all the powerful sects in the east want to use this excuse to deal with Ying Zheng.

I'm afraid that we won't be able to unite many sects, and we won't be able to please.

If the Qin royal family directly raised the banner of the royal family to integrate and rule the big and small sects in the Great Qin, the nature would be completely different from sending troops to destroy Tianluzong.

Yingzheng sent troops to unify the big and small sects of the Qin State, and he was an enemy of all the sects in the world.

Once this precedent is set, it will definitely cause all powerful princes to move around and rush to follow suit.

How did the sect of the world maintain its independence that day, and how did it maintain its lofty attitude? !

All the sects in Dongyu will unite to attack the Qin royal family, and they will never stop dying, so as to deter other vassal states.

maintain their detachment.

Now, Yingzheng is not strong enough to be an enemy of all the sects in Dongyu.

If the major sects of Dongyu united to attack the Qin royal family, the consequences would be disastrous!
Some things can only be done secretly, but not on the bright side!

Therefore, if Yingzheng wants to unify the sect forces in the Qin Kingdom, he can only do it secretly, and cannot fight the banner of the Qin royal family, let alone send troops.

This requires a powerful, ruthless god and demon who is loyal to Ying Zheng.

Moreover, on the surface, this demon has nothing to do with the Qin royal family.

This is also the reason why Yingzheng would not use them to unify the Daqin sect even though the three gods and demons Bai Qi, Ji Gang, and Sima Yi could be cloned.

Everyone in the world knows that these three men are capable generals of King Qin.

……

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Singing to wine, how much life is. Like the dew in the morning, the past days are bitter.

Generosity should be regarded as generosity, and worry is unforgettable.How to relieve worries?Only Dukang.

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

……

The mountains never get too high, and the sea never gets too deep.The Duke of Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart. "

This poem is "Duan Ge Xing" written by Cao Cao, the hero of China, expressing his deep desire for talents.

At this moment, Ying Zheng understood and sympathized with Cao Cao's feelings!
