Chapter 787

After long deliberation, Ying Zheng finally made up his mind.

After all, Ying Zi Ye had said so, and every time, he could surprise people.

Hopefully, this time will be the same.

"Father Emperor, rest assured."

"This matter will definitely be done well."

"Perhaps in a few months, it will be completed."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled; Great Qin had little meat.

Taking this opportunity to engage in some farming.

In the future, everyone on the road will be able to eat delicious pork.

Whether fighting in wars or working, that strength is definitely incomparable to eating only vegetables.

Moreover, meat is nutritious; eating it ensures the body's nutrition keeps up.

This matter was thus happily decided.

The civil and military officials also discussed it for a while.

Since His Majesty the First Emperor had decided, they could not refute it.

Hopefully, the farming will be successful.

If it succeeds, then Great Qin will have one more type of meat in the future.

When that time comes, they will also have a treat.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a bit expectant.

Seeing that there was nothing else.

Ying Zheng was the first to leave this place.

Immediately after, the civil and military officials followed and left.

Ying Ying Zi Ye had a conversation with the people from the Great Qin Daily.

He was the last of this group to leave.

The next day.

The Great Qin Daily published its latest round of newspapers.

The citizens of Great Qin who saw the content of the newspaper trembled with excitement.

From now on, Great Qin will no longer lack grain and fodder.

Yesterday was a day of a bumper harvest.

Xianyang City was also stirred up by a hurricane because of this.

Great Qin's rice has matured and been harvested, with a yield of five thousand jin per mu!

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have had a bumper harvest across Great Qin, and farmers are busy beyond measure!

These two pieces of news alone were enough to ignite the entire Xianyang City.

The Qin people were no strangers to rice.

But the previous yield was truly too low.

Now, the rice yield of five thousand jin per mu left them shocked beyond measure.

Coupled with the fact that the second planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes could also be harvested.

The yield was even more incalculable.

After all, Great Qin is so large, and they were planted in so many places.

Wanting to calculate how many shi of sweet potatoes and potatoes there were could certainly not be completed in a short time.

If there were still people starving to death in Great Qin in the future, that would simply be against the laws of heaven.

"By the way, what's going on with that rice?"

"How did the yield per mu suddenly become so high?"

"Previously, the rice yield per mu in Great Qin was only a few hundred jin, right?"

"How did it suddenly double so much now?"

"Who cares how it increased; as long as it increased, that's a good thing."

"Yes, yes, yes, who cares how it increased; as long as the yield per mu is high enough, that's all that matters."

"Rice spreading its branches and leaves will surely be like sweet potatoes and potatoes; when that time comes, all of Great Qin will be rice!"

"Yes, the sweet potatoes and potatoes now are simply too numerous to harvest."

"It's not just Xianyang; sweet potatoes and potatoes are now starting to have bumper harvests in various places one after another."

"So many sweet potatoes and potatoes have come out at once; what if we can't finish eating them?"

"Even if we store them, it's enough to eat for many years; I reckon we won't need to plant them for a few years after one planting."

"These things are not for us to think about; the government will surely find a way, so we don't need to worry."

Now, the entire Xianyang City is spreading the news of these two harvests.

In every street and alley, teahouse and tavern, there is only one topic today.

That is the harvest, a bumper harvest!

The influence of the Great Qin Daily is now unparalleled.

It has already become the weather vane of Great Qin.

As long as any special news is published in the paper.

It will always spread throughout the entire Xianyang City at the first opportunity.

Among the citizens of Great Qin, there is no lack of shrewd people.

They all speculated that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were now so abundant that they were overflowing.

If there were no good way to resolve this, many subsequent problems would surely follow one after another.

If one thing is not handled well, it might lead to a major incident.

This unhealthy trend also made more people worried.

After all, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes is truly too high.

If it is not handled in time, what if they spoil or we can't finish eating them?

Just as people began to feel anxious.

A third piece of news soon came out.

The government is stepping forward to purchase sweet potatoes and potatoes!

This piece of news completely dispelled the concerns of the Great Qin citizens.

Although they didn't know what the government was going to do with so many sweet potatoes and potatoes.

But as long as they had a place to sell them, it was definitely a good thing.

Otherwise, they had too many sweet potatoes and potatoes in their hands, and they had no way to handle them.

Now that the government was willing to take over, they were finally relieved.

And they all scrambled to dig them up; more people began to hire others to help dig.

Everyone wanted to dig them up quickly and sell them to the government.

Because they were afraid that if there were too many sweet potatoes and potatoes, the government wouldn't buy them later, and that would be troublesome.

They only needed to keep some seeds for the next planting.

This also boosted the local economy, and many refugees joined the digging teams.

Not only could they earn some money, but they could also eat their fill.

This indirectly reduced the crime rate.

Refugees could earn some pocket money and eat their fill.

Farmers selling to the government also had money; this was a win-win situation.

Of course, this was not the government purchasing them.

This was Lady Ba Qing Qing purchasing them, and it was being completed through the government's intervention.

Otherwise, if Lady Ba Qing Qing were to purchase them alone, the workload would be terrifyingly large.

It was much more convenient with the government stepping in; Lady Ba Qing Qing only needed to pay the money to purchase them.

Then they would be processed into various delicacies and snacks.

After all, Lady Ba Qing Qing now possessed the technology to manufacture delicacies.

She had been preparing for this for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
