Chapter 96

"Other commanderies will have to wait three months to obtain this item."

Rewards and punishments are clear; those with merit are rewarded. This is life-saving grain seed.

It can allow Governor Zheng to prioritize taking them back to Sishui Commandery for planting.

One hundred jin of seeds can at least plant more than one hundred mu of good farmland.

At the time of harvest, one mu can harvest seven or eight thousand jin of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

One hundred mu would be seven or eight hundred thousand jin!

This harvest is incomparably amazing.

Twenty-four zhu make one liang, sixteen liang make one jin, thirty jin make one jun, and four jun make one shi; this is the measurement of the Qin Dynasty.

These seven or eight hundred thousand jin of grain are enough to make several thousand shi.

By then, not to mention Sishui Commandery, even the people in the surrounding commanderies will not have to starve to death.

Once these seeds are harvested a few times, it is possible that they will become rampant.

"Sweet potato and potato seeds?"

"What is this?"

"I don't know; it's the first time I've heard this term."

"Seeds, could it be food?"

The officials discussed it one after another, all curious about what was being rewarded.

Except for the few military generals who knew the situation last night, the officials did not know what this was.

"Thank you, Regent!"

"I wonder what these sweet potatoes and potatoes are?"

Zheng Min, Governor of Sishui Commandery, naturally had not heard of what these seeds were.

What was the use of these rewards?

It would be better to reward more money; that way, he could buy some grain to take back.

Although he could not buy much, it could solve the urgent need.

Fortunately, the Regent ordered the opening of granaries for disaster relief, otherwise, this hundred gold would be of no use.

"Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish."

"Let Wucheng Marquis General Wang Li explain this matter to everyone!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye sat on the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip, and looked at Wang Li calmly.

Wang Li heard this, stepped out, and bowed.

"Yes!"

Wang Li scanned the officials.

The look in his eyes was full of contempt.

At this moment, he only felt that the horizons of this group of officials were too low.

It was just like farmers entering the city; they didn't understand anything, and at a glance, they were all curious children.
