Xiao He and his men returned within a few days. The situations in the two places were confirmed. Zhao Qingrui also sent people out. The medical people had already gone there. She also gave orders to the local county magistrate to assist the medical people.
Ding Qin Sword and Lu Lu Sword were taken back, and Zhao Qingrui touched them lovingly.
These two swords are among her father's favorite swords, and she never expected that her father would give them to her.
Ying Zheng gave his daughter the two swords because he saw that she was insecure.
Especially the Lu Lu Sword, which was the sword worn by Qin kings of all dynasties. It has profound significance and symbolizes royal power.
Ying Zheng soon learned from Zhao Qingrui that she had arranged people to go to the two places to carry out construction. She was also doing this for the benefit of the people, so Ying Zheng let her do it and even allowed her to go to the treasury to get things.
Things were arranged in an orderly manner. Zhao Qingrui wanted to start infrastructure construction in other places in Daqin, but the national treasury could not support it unless she paid for it herself.
She plans to set up something like a state-owned enterprise, not something privately owned by herself. She can provide technology, but she doesn't have to control everything.
Money, money, it’s really troublesome to have no money.
Ying Zheng shared the same worries as Zhao Qingrui. After one month's salary, the national treasury was visibly reduced. There was also the army with so many mouths to feed. The confiscated funds seemed to be a lot before, but now it seems that they are not enough for a year's consumption.
"Father, the sweet potatoes here should be ripe soon." Sitting in the palace, Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of the sweet potatoes here. There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he will try to promote them throughout Daqin next year.
"That's right, Zhao Gao. Ask the farmers to dig some up and see." Ying Zheng paused. He was busy training with Wang Ben every day and almost forgot to pay attention to the food.
"Wait, let's go and take a look ourselves." Zhao Qingrui stopped him directly.
In previous years, when she was at Jingshui Pavilion, she would go there in person to check out the harvest every time.
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in Shanglinyuan, and the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is amazing. Zhao Qingrui wants to see the yield of the sweet potatoes planted here.
"That's fine." I looked at the weather outside. The sun was blocked by clouds, and there was a breeze blowing from time to time.
If the sun is strong, he will definitely not let his daughter go out to sunbathe.
Zhang Liang followed behind Zhao Qingrui. He also knew about the food matter and to be honest, he was quite interested in it.
When we arrived at the sweet potato plantation, the farmers were already waiting there.
"Your Highness, from my observation, these sweet potatoes should be almost ripe." Xu Changming said seriously. The sweet potato vines are very old and cannot be eaten. They are now being cut to feed horses and cows.
"Well, dig up a few plants and be careful. The yield of these sweet potatoes is good and they are quite large." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
These farmers managed the sweet potatoes very well. The potato vines grew one after another, which fed the war horses and oxen here.
"Yes." Several people said hurriedly, holding hoes and carefully digging the potato vines.
To be honest, they have been wanting to dig it up and take a look for a long time. They have been raising it for several months and are just waiting to see the harvest.
Even though the harvest is similar to that of corn, wheat and beans, he still thinks it is worth it. When the potato vines are young, they can be eaten by people, and when they are old, they can be fed to horses and cows. They are simply treasures from head to toe.
Once promoted, this sweet potato will surely be very popular.
The farmers were digging carefully with hoes, feeling more nervous than ever before.
These farm tools were all made by the Mohist school. They had just mastered iron smelting, so they were not suitable for making weapons. It would not be too late to forge them after becoming proficient in it. Now I will practice with the farm tools.
With the help of "The Exploitation of Nature", the agricultural tools of the Qin Dynasty gradually became more abundant.
After clearing away the soil, the sweet potatoes were soon exposed in front of everyone. A potato vine as thick as a thumb had a large bunch of sweet potatoes underneath. The soil had not been completely cleared away, but it could be seen that they were quite large.
Xu Changming carefully cleared the soil, and the first plant produced five sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were very big and heavy, so he quickly asked someone to bring a Qinquan (scale).
More than six pounds, wow, one is so heavy, everyone is shocked.
Ying Zheng stared at Qin Quan so intently that his breathing became heavier.
Zhao Qingrui silently converted it and it was about a kilogram. The seeds given by the system were really powerful.
"I wonder if these sweet potatoes can continue to grow?" Ying Zheng stared at the sweet potatoes with fiery eyes.
"It shouldn't happen. Let's start digging right away while the weather is good." Zhao Qingrui shook his head. The sweet potatoes given by the system have a shorter growth cycle, are cold-resistant and drought-resistant, can grow anywhere, and have a pretty good yield.
"Okay, quickly send someone to dig the sweet potatoes, and be careful." Ying Zheng ordered hurriedly.
"Wait, father, why are you in such a hurry? Let's dig tomorrow. I'll pass the order down later. All the officials in Xianyang who need to attend the court should come and watch the sweet potato harvest tomorrow. Let everyone see the sweet potato output." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Qing Rui is really thoughtful. Very good." Ying Zheng instantly understood his daughter's intention.
Zhang Liang followed Zhao Qingrui and watched the sweet potatoes being dug out. The yield of the sweet potatoes made his pupils tremble.
The sweet potatoes were dug out right in front of him. He had been to Shanglinyuan several times and knew these sweet potatoes well. The data was really not fake.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was shocked.
If this sweet potato is promoted, the reputation of the Qin Dynasty will be further enhanced, and the restoration of the country and the overthrow of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty will become even more distant.
Zhang Liang's hands and feet were cold, and his eyes fell on Zhao Qingrui. It was her. She was the one who took out the food.
"Mr. Zifang is very excited?" Zhang Liang's gaze was too scorching, and Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but notice it. Seeing the shock and decadence in his eyes, the corners of her lips curled up.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Your Highness actually has such a high-yield grain. It's really a blessing for the people of Qian." Zhang Liang came back to his senses instantly. His wife and children are still in the hands of Zhao Qingrui. Talking about restoring the country is still a long way off. Now even the people of the Xiang family have been dealt with. It's better for him to be honest.
Moreover, after this incident, the reputation of this father and daughter in the entire Qin Dynasty will be even higher, and the difficulty of restoring the country will increase countless times.
He knew very well that the common people did not care who was the monarch of the world or who led them to a good life. As long as they could have enough food to eat, they would be grateful.
"Indeed, it's all thanks to my younger sister." Gongzi Gao said with a smile. The yield of these sweet potatoes was really amazing. He was already very satisfied just to drink some soup.
