Chapter 87 The First Emperor was moved, Great Qin’s elixir of longevity!

In the palace, Zou Feng, who was over seventy years old, sat opposite the First Emperor.

The First Emperor said nothing, while Zou Feng hunched over and stared at the sea chart and world map on the desk.

Zou Feng, a direct descendant of Zou Yan, a contemporary representative of the Yin Yang family, and a man of great influence who once determined the destiny of the Qin Dynasty.

Dajiuzhou theory, the promoter of the theory of the beginning and end of the Five Virtues.

He is also a stargazer.

In the land of Qi, Zou Feng had many disciples and a great reputation. Although he had retired, his heroic spirit of blaming hundreds of schools for Qin Zheng's destiny was still as vivid as yesterday.

At this moment, such a well-known old man looked at the sea chart and world map on the table, but his fingers were trembling with excitement.

"Right! Right!"

Zou Yan has been dead for a long time. It is impossible to verify whether the theory of Da Jiuzhou is Zou Yan's conjecture or the calculation of Zou Yan. However, the disciples of the Yin Yang family have undoubtedly regarded the theory of Da Jiuzhou as Gui Gao, a disciple of the Yin Yang family, and even most of the Qi Dynasty.

A theory used by local nobles and common people to understand the world.

The land is close to the sea, and it naturally has the soil that is popular in Jiuzhou.

Unfortunately, the current mainstream theory is still the Kyushu theory, even if the First Emperor stood up for the Great Kyushu theory.

Looking at the slightly scrawled world map drawn by Zhao Si, the names of Kyushu flashed one by one.

Shenzhou, Rongzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Hezhou, Zhuzhou, Xuanzhou, Yingzhou, Bozhou.

Zou Yan’s Great Nine Provinces theory has always been the way for disciples of the Yin Yang family to understand the world. Since Zou Yan, every generation of disciples has been supplementing the Great Nine Provinces theory.

Many of them draw lessons from ancient books and wander around the world. Unfortunately, the four extremes of the world are not so easy to step out of.

The world map is not Kyushu, Zhao Si drew a standard world map, but Zou Yan still preconceivedly substituted the Great Kyushu theory and compared it one by one according to the descriptions of the Great Kyushu theory.

"Your Majesty! This is China!" Zou Feng pointed to the entire Chinese cultural circle, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Siberia.

"This place should be Rongzhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Southeast Asia and Oceania.

"This is Yangzhou." This time it refers to the Indian subcontinent.

"This is Yizhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Central Asia.

"This is Hezhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Africa.

"This is Zhuzhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Europe.

"This is Xuanzhou!" This refers to North America.

"This is Yingzhou!" Zou Feng pointed to Central and South America.

"This should be Bozhou!" Zou Feng pointed to the South Pole!

In fact, the real landform divisions on the world map are very different from the Yin-Yang family's Great Kyushu theory, but this is not important.

The theory of Dajiuzhou Theory is originally more conjecture than reality, and its core is to use small things that have been fulfilled to reason about big things.

This is the core methodology of Yin Yang School.

Therefore, it does not matter if there are discrepancies. As long as it is proved that there is a vast fertile land outside the four poles, the correctness of the Great Kyushu theory can be proved.

The First Emperor pondered slightly and nodded, but before he could speak, Zou Feng spoke again eagerly: "Your Majesty, could you please allow me to meet Zhao Si?"

Although Zou Feng was excited, he couldn't believe Zhao Si's words. He had to have disciples of the Yin Yang family to actually go there to find out what the Great Kyushu was like.

As the leader of overseas returnees to Qin and the leader of the crew, Zhao Si is the core target that Zuofeng needs to win over.

Yes, Zou Feng not only planned to write a letter to open the sea, but also planned to deceive all the returning crew members again, especially Zhao Si!

Zhao Si is the core figure. He has the experience of leading a maritime voyage, and has personally traveled overseas across the four poles of the world. This is the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty that is a scorpion.

Zhao Si definitely wants it, and it would be best if he could also promote the Yin-Yang family's theory. It would be best if he could recruit all the crew members, including Zhao Si, into the Yin-Yang family.

Of course, the First Emperor knew what Zou Feng was thinking, but the First Emperor did not intend to let Zhao Si continue to go to sea. He planned to hand over the leadership of this sea voyage to the Yin and Yang family instead of Zhao Si. Zhao Si planned to stay in Xianyang for his own use.

However, Zou Feng's request was just for a one-time meeting. Zhao Si's stay or stay depended on the First Emperor. Just when he was about to agree, he saw Meng Yi coming to the palace gate with a happy face and hurriedly bowing to salute.

"Your Majesty! Lan Tian is playing!" Meng Yi said with a look of pride that could not be concealed on his face.

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are all three new crops that have grown!"

The First Emperor's slightly tapping index finger stopped.

"How's the output?" The voice was very calm, and the Emperor's expression was casual, but it was convincing.

"I have already pulled some. It is roughly estimated that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is about four to five thousand catties, the yield of potatoes is about one or two thousand catties per mu, and the yield of corn is about three hundred catties." Although Meng Yi had read the memorial in advance, Meng Yi still felt very excited when he opened his mouth to report.

It's untrue. He even sent someone to Lantian to ask if the data was wrong before coming over.

The results were confirmed, and there were also samples of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that were picked and delivered.

"Well..." The first emperor's prepared manuscript was interrupted by this amazing output, so that his fingers became slightly stiff. Although he had experienced countless storms, the shock that he suddenly heard about this news was still unparalleled.

.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is a new species!"

Meng Yi took out two fist-sized sweet potatoes and fist-sized potatoes from his arms, as well as yellow and plump corn as thick as his forearm.

The First Emperor stood up and took it without waiting for Meng Yi to hand it over.

The First Emperor was no stranger to sweet potatoes. After he returned from beating Zhao Si, the First Emperor often played with them in private.

That is a crop with a yield of 500 jins per mu. Although Zhao Si has tried his best to explain the shortcomings of these two crops, the yield of 500 jins per mu is enough to make up for all shortcomings.

The sweet potatoes that had been eaten before had already been peeled off by the First Emperor. How could the First Emperor not be familiar with them? But now the sweet potatoes that had just been unearthed and were stained with soil were held in each hand by the First Emperor.

Different from the sweet potatoes Zhao Si brought back from Langya before, the sweet potatoes produced this time are much larger than the seeds Zhao Si brought back.

In the past, the sweet potato could be held and played with one hand. Now, the big sweet potato is even difficult to hold with one hand. It is more than twice as big?

"The yield per mu... four to five thousand catties?" Before the First Emperor could speak, Zou Feng stood up tremblingly, bent over and looked at the sweet potatoes in the hands of the First Emperor, as if looking at some rare treasure.

"Is this the new crop brought back from overseas?" Zou Feng looked at it eagerly and wanted to take it into his hands to examine it carefully, but the First Emperor had no intention of handing it to Zou Feng. He held it with both hands, his face was solemn and his eyes were sharp.

"Do you really mean what you said, Meng Shangqing?" Zou Feng asked.

"I just pulled out a few plants, so I can roughly estimate the yield, but I guess the difference won't be too big." Meng Yi said with a smile.

The official harvest must wait until the First Emperor agrees to start. Estimating the output in advance is to facilitate policy response.

The yield is too low, so let’s forget about harvesting in obscurity.

The output is high, so it is natural to use this matter to publicize it. The destiny of Qin is in Qin, so why not? Otherwise, how could such a magical food be obtained?

Based on this outrageous yield, I'm afraid it won't be officially harvested until all the civil and military officials have arrived.

At this moment, the significance of these three new grains is far from being grain.

What grain, this is auspicious! How can there be grain that can produce several kilograms per mu?

"Let's get going!" The First Emperor seemed very high-spirited and full of energy at this moment, not showing the slightest despondency of being nearly fifty years old.

He couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for the day when he would tell the world, pray to the mountains and rivers, and pay homage to the ancestors of Shennong.

He wants to go to Lantian first and harvest some in person!

Without any hesitation, Meng Yi mobilized chariots and horses according to the order of the Che Mansion to drive for the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, can I go with you, sir?" Zou Feng's expression was full of hope.

This is thousands of kilograms of grain per acre. Who doesn't want to see it with his own eyes first? What's more, there are also Zhao Si and the crew members who have returned from the sea at Lantian Camp, which he has always wanted to abduct.

The First Emperor nodded, and Meng Yi personally helped him get into the chariot. The soldiers guarded him, and the chariot followed him, pointing straight at Lantian.

In the current Lantian camp, the soldiers, crew members, and even Zhao Si and Wang Li who were farming together were gathered around the field together, chattering away without thinking about anything else.

Now that the three new grains have matured, and the high yields can be predicted, and they are just waiting to be harvested to determine the specific yields, who can do anything else?

Zhao Si himself couldn't stand reading anymore. It was not that he had never seen sweet potatoes before, but in a different environment, the meaning was completely different.

What is entrusted on this is not only the lives of thousands of people, but also the future of Great Qin.

Zhao Si even had an unknown anxiety. He knew that if the output of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn would not decline, he would definitely be able to leave his name in history, and his historical status would be very high.

He also knew that, standing on the edge of the Qin Dynasty, history would change for him this time, and the land of Zhuxia would usher in a new destiny.

How miraculous it is to go from a bystander to a key player in promoting historical change, especially when Zhao Si knows both the upper and lower historical contexts. He has even begun to think about how future generations will praise his achievements.

Including Wang Li, the same is true!

Even if he is the third oldest person in the Qin Dynasty, he still cannot escape the feeling of witnessing that makes his skin crawl all over.

"Tell me, how many kilograms can be produced per acre?"

"I guess the yield of sweet potatoes per acre is six thousand pounds!"

"I guess four thousand pounds!"

A group of people chatted and couldn't calm down for a long time, until the First Emperor's carriage arrived at Lantian, and the First Emperor drove out on his own.
