Chapter 105: 1000 Jin
Hearing what his cheap father said, Zhao Lang certainly understood the meaning, and his old face blushed.
In other words, Daddy Cheap treated him extremely well.
No matter who it is, in just a few months, 70,000 taels of gold will be given, without asking where it goes.
Even if it is a real son, it requires great trust and courage.
Of course, the value of what Zhao Lang took out each time far exceeded the money.
It just takes time to convert.
"Father, I didn't ask you for money this time."
Zhao Lang laughed and said,
"I really have a surprise for you."
Although Qin Shihuang already knew it well, he still said with a smile,
"Okay, dad will see what surprises you have."
Zhao Lang immediately waved his hand, walked forward first, and said,
"Let's go to the fields."
Qin Shihuang was not surprised, and walked outside.
When they got to the gate, they saw the young people on Zhuangzi, led by Wang Jian.
There was a neat line waiting for them.
Seeing Qin Shihuang, Wang Jian immediately nodded and saluted.
"Today's situation is a bit special, it can only be one of our own."
Zhao Lang explained with a smile.
Qin Shihuang nodded in relief. The stirrups and horseshoes are very useful, but the style is simple, and ordinary people can understand it just by looking at it.
It does require some attention.
Just looking around, Qin Shihuang didn't notice that Zhao Lang brought the horse out.
So pretending to say casually,
"Lang'er, don't we need horses?"
Zhao Lang returned soon,
"No, it's not far away, it's in our field."
After speaking, he took the lead and walked over.
Zhao Gao and Li Si also looked at Qin Shihuang with some doubts. How can they show the benefits of stirrups and horseshoes without horses?
Qin Shihuang was taken aback for a moment, and soon remembered when Zhao Lang gave him the printing technique.
He smiled and whispered to the two of them,
"Lang'er's temperament is still a little lively, and he always wants to see us surprised."
Having said that, the two immediately understood, but also understood.
They used to be the same, always thinking of making a big splash, and then enjoying the shock and admiration of the people around them.
Qin Shihuang went on to say,
"It's just that this temperament has to be changed. How can he be able to convince the public in the future if he is so detached? Today, he can't make him too proud."
Zhao Gao and Li Si also nodded with a smile.
In fact, every time they think about the situation when they first met Zhao Lang.
His face was a little hot, and his performance that day was really embarrassing.
Li Si said with a smile,
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, today, I'll let Young Master Lang see what it means to have a landslide in front of him without changing his face."
Li Si is the prime minister of Qin Dynasty.
It is also the head of the Legalists.
In terms of the magnanimity of the city government, it is definitely rare in the world.
He always felt that last time it was mainly because Zhao Lang didn't play cards according to common sense, that's why he lost his composure.
Now, with preparation, he knew Zhao Lang's cards.
In any case, it is impossible to be the same as before.
Soon, a group of people arrived in the field.
All the teenagers spread out in an extremely orderly manner.
Make sure no one comes near.
This scene made Qin Shihuang's eyes shine again and again, in such a short period of time.
It's unbelievable that these teenagers can do this.
At this time, Zhao Lang brought Mr. Tian and the others over, and introduced each other,
"Father, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tian, Xu Yue, and Mr. Huang."
"It's all mine."
"Everyone, this is my father."
Qin Shihuang naturally understood that this was a peasant family.
Suddenly a smile appeared.
The two sides greeted each other briefly, and Zhao Lang asked everyone to go to the field immediately.
No one noticed that when Elder Tian saw the three of Qin Shihuang, his hands began to tremble instantly!
The look he looked at Zhao Lang again was extremely complicated!
Looking around, they were all his own people, Zhao Lang said,
"Father, the one hundred thousand taels of gold I want to give you is right here."
Qin Shihuang, who was waiting for Zhao Lang to take out the stirrups and horseshoes, looked at the withered and yellow vines all over the ground, and said doubtfully,
"These dead crops are your one hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Zhao Lang stopped being around the bush and said,
"Father, it's not the dead crops, but the ripe grains, which are all buried underneath."
"This is a new food discovered by the farmer, potatoes."
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang's expression froze, and he said,
"New food!?"
There is not much grain that can be cultivated in Daqin now, and the output is even less high.
Relying on the hard work of the farmers in Daqin, the food for the entire empire was supplied.
Even Zhao Gao and Li Si, who were originally the old gods, became serious.
New food is a major event related to the fate of the country!
No kidding!
"How is the food habit? Is it delicious? How much can one acre of land harvest?"
Although Qin Shihuang is the lord of the Great Qin, he also has an understanding of these farming and mulberry matters.
Zhao Lang returned with a smile,
"Father, this potato likes to be cool. It can be planted two or three times a year, depending on the temperature."
"It can be planted two or three times a year."
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang took a breath, and said in disbelief,
"really!"
It can be planted two to three times a year and harvested in three months.
With the most hardworking people in the world, this kind of food is simply a match made in heaven!
"How much grain can that one mu harvest?"
Qin Shihuang asked a little nervously.
"Eight hundred catties."
Zhao Lang calculated it in his heart, and didn't dare to talk too much, otherwise he would look like a cheap daddy.
If the discrepancy is too large, it is estimated that it will be pissed off.
Qin Shihuang's body shook violently, but Zhao Gao couldn't help crying out,
"Eight hundred catties!"
Zhao Gao is the order of Zhongshu, who assisted Qin Shihuang in handling government affairs, and also has an understanding of people's livelihood.
In ordinary fields, one mu of land can harvest four to five hundred catties of grain, which is already a bumper harvest!
Eight hundred catties!
It can also be planted two or three times a year, which is simply a miracle!
Zhao Lang looked at the faces of these people and said,
"How many catties can be produced, don't we know after digging?"
Everyone nodded immediately, an acre of land was neither big nor small.
But with so many people, it's not that big of a deal.
Qin Shihuang's mind moved slightly, and he wanted to do it himself.
He drew a small area directly and said,
"It's up to me and your two uncles to dig here."
To know the yield, it is not necessary to dig this acre of land.
They still know the truth of knowing everything at a glance.
Soon, the whole field was busy.
The field has been loosened, so the potatoes can be easily dug out along the seedlings with hands.
Zhao Lang looked at the oval lumps of different sizes, and couldn't help but smile.
This potato is much smaller than the one in the previous life.
This is also normal, those are all cultivated and selected, so naturally they are incomparable.
Not long after, Zhao Lang heard a shout,
"It's really eight hundred catties! It's really eight hundred catties!"
Turning his head, he saw Uncle Zhao sitting on the ground in a daze.
Uncle Li held two potatoes in his hand and seemed to want to stuff them into his mouth.
And his father stood there in a daze, looking at the potatoes that had been dug up.
Zhao Lang walked over, looked at the potatoes, and frowned.
I reached out and dug a little deeper into the ground, and suddenly, I dug out another small string.
Zhao Lang then smiled and said,
"I said it shouldn't be so small."
boom.
With a muffled sound, Zhao Lang found that Uncle Li had also sat on the ground, speechless for a long time.
His father muttered to himself,
"A thousand catties."
