Chapter 225
Seeing Ying Zheng's shocked look, He Chao said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I'll take you over now."
After speaking, He Chao stood up and walked towards the warehouse where rice seeds were stored.
Ying Zheng had an excited look on his face, and immediately followed.
Soon, He Chao took Ying Zheng to a secluded courtyard in the mansion.
This courtyard is heavily guarded outside and has been temporarily converted into a warehouse used to store rice seeds by He Chao.
Ying Zheng saw that He Chao also sent people to guard this food crop, and he looked forward to it even more.
After that, Ying Zheng walked into the courtyard with He Chao with anticipation.
With a faint smile on his face, He Chao asked his subordinates to open the door of the warehouse.
"Crunch!" With a bang, the warehouse door slowly opened.
"Father-in-law, these are the grain seeds I told you."
He Chao pointed to the mountains of rice seeds in the warehouse, and said triumphantly to Yingzheng.
At this moment, a dazzling ray of sunlight poured in from outside, and the entire warehouse was turned golden in the sunlight.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked in the direction He Chao pointed,
When he saw the scene inside the warehouse, his eyes widened instantly, and then he gasped.
I saw that inside the warehouse, there were mountains of golden grain like wheat.
But on closer inspection, these grain particles are round and full, and the color is golden.
In terms of shape and color, it is very different from wheat.
Just now He Chao said that these grains are more awesome than sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield is also higher.
So what exactly is this grain? Is it really as powerful as He Chao said?
For a while, Ying Zheng looked at the rice in front of him, and countless thoughts popped up in his mind, and his eyes fell into a dullness.
After more than a minute, Ying Zheng came to his senses,
Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng's face was full of doubt and excitement, and he looked at He Chao and asked:
"Son-in-law, is this what you mean by a grain crop with a higher yield than sweet potatoes? It looks like wheat, but what are they called? "
He Chao nodded with a smile, and roughly introduced the characteristics of rice to Yingzheng:
"Father-in-law, you're right, these grains are not wheat, but the latest grain varieties I have cultivated, and they are called super rice."
"These rice crops are suitable for growing in areas with strong sunlight, humid climate, and abundant rainfall.
It can ripen at least twice a year, and in places with strong sunlight like Baiyue, it can even be ripened three times a year. "
"This rice can be harvested three times a year?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, the whole person was directly stunned, and his eyes flashed with amazement.
What is the concept of three crops a year? Doesn't that mean that the rice can be harvested three times a year?
Can food production be increased by at least two times?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt that his breathing became short,
Looking at the rice seeds on the ground, a look of excitement appeared on the ground.
This rice is indeed a complete sweet potato potato in terms of yield alone.
He Chao ignored Ying Zheng's reaction, and squatted down next to the rice pile again.
Holding a handful of rice seeds in his hand, he explained to Ying Zheng with a smile:
"Father-in-law, in fact, in addition to the high yield, this rice also has many advantages compared with sweet potatoes."
"Is there any merit in this rice? The virtuous son-in-law is coming quickly! "
Hearing that this rice seed still has many advantages, Ying Zheng suddenly became calm, swallowed his saliva vigorously, and then looked at He Chao with burning eyes.
He Chao had a smile on his face and explained unhurriedly:
"First of all, this rice contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, etc.
Compared with sweet potatoes, it can provide more abundant and abundant nutrients to the human body, thereby improving the physical fitness of the people. "
"Also, father-in-law, you see, these rice have a hard shell, which is also easier to store, not as perishable as sweet potatoes."
Speaking of this, He Chao's face suddenly became serious, he put down the rice he was holding in his palm, and stood with his hands down:
"In addition to these advantages, these rice also have a very powerful effect."
Hearing that rice also has a bullish effect, Ying Zheng immediately shook his head, with a frightened look on his face, and hurriedly asked:
"What does it do?"
He Chao chuckled, a sharp color burst out of his deep eyes, and he said slowly:
"My father-in-law should know that our population now lives mainly in the north, and the staple food of the people is only sweet potatoes, potatoes and wheat.
Like the south, it can only be called a barbaric land now, and Baiyue has just been defeated,
It is not developed at all, and the population is not large.
Isn't it a waste of such a large land in the south and a pitifully small population?
Rice, on the other hand, is well suited for growing in the humid climate of the south.
If this rice can be popularized in Daqin, not only will Daqin's grain output increase by dozens or hundreds of times.
It can also thoroughly develop the southern part of Great Qin, gradually increase the population of Great Qin, and ultimately improve the comprehensive national strength of Great Qin! "
After speaking, He Chao looked at Ying Zheng with a faint smile on his face.
After Ying Zheng listened, he felt like he had been empowered, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't turn it around.
He didn't expect that the promotion of this rice would also increase the population of the south, thereby increasing the role of Great Qin's national strength!
For a while, Ying Zheng thought about the picture described by He Chao, and he was directly stupid!
It is no exaggeration to say that the role of this rice completely subverted his imagination!
Honestly, these rice seeds are indeed better than sweet potatoes!
After being stunned for a while, after Ying Zheng came to his senses, his eyes directly burst out with an astonishing light, and he slapped his thigh directly and said:
"Haha, okay, if this rice can really increase the population of southern Great Qin, it is indeed another great artifact!"
"Virtuous son-in-law, you have made such a great contribution this time, I don't even know how to reward you!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's compliment, He Chao's face was still light, and he waved his hand and said:
"Father-in-law praised falsely, everything I did was just to make Daqin develop better."
"Now that I have cultivated rice seeds, my father-in-law should promote them as soon as possible."
"Haha, as the virtuous son-in-law said, I will go back now and discuss with the ministers the promotion policy of rice."
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, and after speaking, he said goodbye to Ying Zheng and them, and went back happily.
On the way back, Yingzheng was overjoyed, imagining the picture of rice popularizing in the south, and felt that the whole person was floating.
Ying Zheng arrived at the palace with excitement, and as soon as he returned to the palace,
Ying Zheng immediately ordered Li Si, Meng Tian and several other important ministers to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.
