Chapter 1560

oyal palace.

Royal study.

Ying Zheng was holding a pack of Haojia Shrimp Chips in his hand, and while he was eating, he was dealing with state affairs and reviewing memorials.

The maid next to her smelled MSG, and her mouth was drooling.

There are two old ministers below who are meeting with him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shenwei has been accumulating money wantonly in the past two months, with evil intentions, please be careful!"

It was Chun Yuyue who spoke, this old man worried about the country and the people all day long, doubting this and that.

"oh!"

Ying Zheng ate the Shanghaojia in his hand, looked up at him and continued to review the memorial.

"Your Majesty, the majestic prince wants to take all the wealth in the world. It's a big taboo for my subjects! Big taboo!" Chunyu Yue said excitedly.

"Um."

Ying Zheng nodded, still expressionless.

"Your Majesty, according to the veteran's investigation, Lord Shenwei has earned at least two million taels of gold in the past two months! Such a large amount of money can even build another treasury. The veteran is really worried!" Chun Yuyue arched his hands , blushing with excitement.

"so much?"

Such a huge amount finally caught Ying Zheng's attention, and he raised his eyebrows, as if feeling a little inconceivable.

"It's just those white papers, and there are packages of delicious food. It seems that Su Qing has traveled to the mainland these years. He really got a lot of good things."

Ying Zheng picked up the memorial in his hand, and it turned out to be a blank sheet of paper, "I really don't know how such a thin piece of paper was made, it was the trick of the gods..."

"His Majesty……"

Chun Yuyue wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng raised his hand, "Okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to meditate for a while, you all step back."

"well……"

"The king of a country is obsessed with cultivation, which is not the blessing of the country or the common people."

Chunyu Yue buried this passage deeply in his heart, and was just about to back down.

A middle-aged man in a fine attire and a beautiful jade belt rushed in, with an excited expression on his face, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty! The prince has made something new!"

"Xiao Qing, what did you say?"

Ying Zheng turned around.

The person who came was none other than Xiao He, the current Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty.

I saw his face excited, and he came to the imperial court tremblingly, "My lord claims that he has cultivated a kind of rice, which can greatly increase food production, so that my people in Daqin no longer have to suffer from hunger!"

"paddy?"

"Su Chen has also studied agriculture?"

Ying Zheng was stunned.

"Wow! The ambition of this majestic king is actually so great! As the saying goes, whoever controls the food will control the world! He wants to control the world of Daqin! Wolf ambition, really wolf ambition!"

Chunyu Yue secretly speculated.

"Increasing food production, how much can it increase?"

Ying Zheng asked casually. "Double? Or twice? Is it three times?"

Xiao He looked at him with a smile, and then spit out a number that almost shocked Chunyu Yue's jaw, "It's thirty times! Your Majesty, it's a full thirty times!"

"What?!"

Ying Zheng, Chun Yuyue, and several courtiers present all stared wide-eyed in shock, thinking they had heard it wrong.

"Thirty times, how is this possible!"

"Could the prime minister be joking, do you know the concept of increasing food production by 30 times?!"

"My officer has heard that a farmland in Jizhou produces ten buckets of chestnut rice per mu, and one crop per year. This is already shocking. Could it be that the rice produced by Lord Shenwei yields three hundred buckets per mu?"

Chunyu Yue didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all.

But Xiao He quickly said, "Lord Chunyu, the rice output of Prince Shenwei is not as exaggerated as three hundred buckets per mu, but three crops a year, and the grain yield is one hundred buckets per mu!"

"Crop three times a year. If you dare to ask Prime Minister Xiao, what kind of rice does Prince Shenwei produce? It can be cooked three times a year. This is something I have never heard or seen before!"

Chun Yuyue still didn't believe it.

Xiao He was not annoyed, but just smiled slightly. "Before that, Master Chunyu, have you ever heard of white paper? Have you tried spicy strips?"

"No!"

Chun Yuyue was fairly honest and did not lie in front of the emperor.

"Since this is the case, there is no reason why this hybrid rice does not exist."

Xiao He smiled, and turned his gaze to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the prince is a man who creates miracles. This time, he will surely create another miracle!"

"Okay~ I will give him the land and let him get it. If there is such a kind of rice with a yield of 100 buckets per mu and three crops a year, what is it called hybrid rice... It will make thousands of people in my Great Qin no longer worry about food. It is also an extraordinary feat through the ages." Ying Zheng said.

However, Xiao He did not turn around and leave, but said again, "Your Majesty, this miraculous rice. The original intention of the prince is to give it to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can plant and develop it! He will hand over the technology and seeds, and will not take it for himself."

"Um?!"

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect the mighty prince. He is willing to give such a profitable thing to the imperial court, so he won't make this money himself?

"My lord's awareness is really high..."

Seeing Ying Zheng's calm expression, Xiao He couldn't help admiring in his heart.

"Xiao Qing. Su Chen, did you really say that? Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Ying Zheng didn't even believe it.

Food can be said to be the most important thing in the country and the country, and the foundation of people!

If you control the food, you can basically control the world!

This kind of hybrid rice can produce hundreds of buckets per mu and three crops a year, which is simply against the sky! Regardless of the taste, I don’t know how much it is better than chestnut rice in terms of yield!

It is conceivable that when such rice is planted on a large scale, it may be able to earn a lot of money every day just by selling grain!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these are the original words of the prince."

Xiao He smiled and cupped his hands.

"good very good."

Ying Zheng smiled in satisfaction, "Then did he ask for anything?"

"There is only one request, and that is to ask His Majesty to allow him to take this hybrid rice to the Western Regions for planting and sell it there."

"What kind of request is this, yes!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeve robe and laughed loudly.

The mood is simply happier than hearing that Su Chen has put down the rebellion in the three places.

As an emperor, what he is most afraid of is the rebellion of his courtiers, especially courtiers like Su Chen who have made great achievements.

If it wasn't for Su Chen's strong cultivation, he would probably have been killed a hundred times already.

From Ying Zheng's point of view, Su Chen's move. Undoubtedly, to show his favor to the emperor...

Therefore, the 100-acre hybrid rice experimental field was planted outside Xianyang City. Ying Zheng went to see it once or twice, and expressed his surprise at its growth.

During this period, many people wanted to come and burn down the hybrid rice fields, but they were stopped by Baifeng and Nongyu.

These people, Su Chen knew without thinking, they must be those aristocratic families and landlords.

Su Chen's hybrid rice had shaken their roots, so they wanted to get rid of Su Chen.

You know, there are many tenant farmers in the world. In order not to starve to death, they can only rent fields from the landlord’s house. It is very miserable, and there will never be a bright future...
