Xiong Jing felt more and more that Xiang Yan had the potential of a crow's mouth. He was worried about a severe drought in Zhao State, and Zhao State did indeed have a severe drought. After early March to this month, Zhao State had not rained a drop of rain. Many of the millet planted in the soil did not even sprout, and even if it sprouted, most of them were wilted. Therefore, the Zhao people sang erroneously: "The Zhao people cried, the Qin people laughed. If you don't believe it, look at the only grass growing in the fields."

Zhao State did not have such good luck to grab Ao Cang. Without Ao Cang's grain, many people starved to death in the country last year. This year, there will be a lot of drought. Therefore, after the severe drought was confirmed in the late April and early May, Zhao envoys kept asking for more corn in the Three Kingdoms, asking the Three Kingdoms to transport more corn. The three Kingdoms had grain. If the corn from the Three Kingdoms was transported to Zhao State, the people of Zhao would definitely not starve to death, but the transportation capacity was not enough. Moreover, because of the rain, Chu State did not change its boat construction plan in February, but instead made every effort to build Danshui boats.

The only solution now is to gather all the sea boats in the Three Kingdoms, and the inland river boats are in Qi, and transport the accumulated grains in the warehouse of Qi to Zhao. This way, the shortest journey is. Once the problem of shipping the sea boat terminals is solved, the grain transport can be doubled. In addition to boats, horse carriages, ox carriages, chariots, chariots, and unicycles, as long as they are wheeled, they are transporting grains into Zhao; in the end, the Zhao people enter Qi and eat.

There are many ways, but it still cannot change the current situation of Zhao's unlimited harvest this year. Xiong Jing first heard that Shaosi's mission was returning with Dongzhou Valley, so he wanted Zhao to plant potatoes or sweet potatoes first, but he forgot what consequences would have if Qin got these.

"The king must not let the Zhao people plant the valley of Dongzhou." Naojiu vaguely guessed the meaning of Xiong Jing. Zhao State had a severe drought and the valley of Dongzhou entered Chu, which happened to allow Zhao State to try planting. This seemed like a good idea, but it was actually worse.

"Do you know how much grain should be used for acre of grain?" Sun Yu also asked. He wanted to explore this question by himself. Now the king intends to let Zhao State try planting, so he is about to ask. "How many grain grains are there on Shaosiming?"

Hong Liu looked at each other and shook his head and said, "Not many. When he returned, he packed more than 15,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and more than 8,000 kilograms of potatoes. However, for several months at sea, half of the grains were damaged."

Fortunately, it took only three months to return to Zhufang, and less than four months later. In the hot climate of the South Pacific, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the boat cabin were quickly rotted. Even if one a pound of planted one acre, it would only be planted a few thousand acres. There are more than five million in Dingkou, Zhao State, and a household with a hundred acres of land, and the existing grain seed is just a drop in the ocean.

When talking about grain seeds in Honghu, Xiong Jing suddenly lost his mind to let Zhao State plant potatoes. Suppose a small acre of only ten kilograms of grain seeds, that is one billion kilograms; if the potato seed harvest ratio reaches twenty times, it will also have a harvest of 50 million kilograms in the previous year; the previous year is 2.5 million kilograms; the previous year is 125,000 kilograms; the previous year is 6,250 kilograms.

If all the eight thousand kilograms of potatoes are not broken, there will be four years of breeding time before the entire Zhao State can be planted in the fifth year. This is a theoretical calculation. Even if potatoes are harvested twice a year, it will take two years. In two years, the Zhao people who starved to death no longer need food.

"The distant water cannot relieve the nearby fire." Lan She bowed. "Instead of letting Zhao State plant the valley of Dongzhou, it is better to plant it in Chu State. The fields of Chu State have more than 130 million small acres, and the harvest is not enough, all the fields of Wei people. Just like the valley of Dongzhou, you can get the yield of the fields of Wei people, and the country of Chu State has no fear of accumulation of grain."

In the later years, the average yield of millet in Chu State was extremely low, about 55 kilograms. The Wei State exceeded this number, and the yield of some fields exceeded 100 kilograms. The yield of millet was not high, so the yield of Sumai was naturally not high, with only more than 30 kilograms per city acre. And the acres of fields that can plant Sumai were limited. Last year, the Chu State planted nearly 60 million small acres of millet, but actually harvested only 65 million stones of millet; while Sumai planted about 30 million small acres, and only 19 million stones of wheat were harvested.

If 275 kilograms (550 kilograms of city, 5 kilograms of potatoes are worth one kilogram of staple food) can be harvested in the valley of Dongzhou, then the grain accumulated in the entire Chu State in one year will reach an astonishing 76 million stones. The three-year millet that only accumulated after six years of planting wheat for six years can be barely completed in two years. This is just about planting millet once a year, and planting sweet potatoes once a year, and harvesting twice a year.

Taking the warm climate in the south, assuming that sweet potatoes and potatoes are grown in one year, there will be three harvests a year, and that year you can accumulate food for two years and seven months. However, sweet potatoes and potatoes are grown in the whole country. Once an epidemic occurs, half of the population will suddenly be lost like the Irish people. Mixed grains are mixed grains, and it is impossible to be equal to staple foods.

Lan She’s reminder is exciting. If you seize the time to breed now and start to attack Qin next year, all Chu State can plant the Valley of Dongzhou in three or four years. After eating all the grain, Chu State may be able to hold on for another one or two years, and even with the high yield and easy planting of Dongzhou Valley, it is likely that the war will continue to be supported by the elderly, weak, women and children in China.

The ministers were excited, but Xiong Jing was thinking about how to process sweet potatoes. This kind of miscellaneous grains were crushed, dried, and made into starch, and then made into vermicelli and vermicelli. Legend has it that there were potato steamed buns and potato bread, but unfortunately he didn't even know how to use potato starch as vermicelli.

Because potatoes are watery, they are extremely impermissible. While planting the valley of Dongzhou, starch processing equipment must also be popularized quickly, otherwise the harvested potatoes will easily rot and cannot be stored for a long time. In addition, it is not convenient to transport. Transporting five kilograms of potatoes is equivalent to transporting one kilogram of millet. No matter how many transportation volumes are, the boats cannot afford it.

As the king, Xiong Jing pointed out what problems need to be solved. In addition to discussing how to breed, how to plant, and how to ban other countries from stealing seeds, how to process the Dongzhou Valley is also a major issue. When it is absolutely necessary, the soldiers not only have to eat Dongzhou Valley directly, but also the fans mentioned by the king. Of course, it is best for the common people to eat Dongzhou Valley by themselves and sell the millet that is easy to store and transport, otherwise the output of tens of millions of stones or even hundreds of millions of stones will not be able to process them in a short period of time.

The morning court meeting ended. Xiong Jing, who returned to his bed after the court, did not change his clothes immediately, but instead came to him to ask him, please don't give me some things. He had to ask.

"Can we know..." Xiong Jing wanted to ask Mi Xuan very much, don't let me know, too, the king wanted to ask Mi Xuan, but the historian was beside him, Xiong Jing paused for a moment and said, "What's wrong with Empress Dowager Zu?"

"Report to the King, Empress Dowager Zu," I paused for a moment, because Mi Ji's situation was not optimistic. "...It's no good for the time being."

"Not worry for the time being?" Xiong Jing used more and more words and was used by his subordinates. He heard that he should not let my words be unhappy and asked directly: "When will the Queen Mother of Zu die?"

"Report to the great king, Empress Dowager Zu can't speak and get up after waking up. The doctor thought it was only this year." Since Xiong Jing asked directly, don't let me answer directly.

"But this year?" Xiong Jing was silent. He didn't like Mi Ji, but Mi Ji was a mountain in Qin State.

Although Zhao Zheng has been crowned for a long time, Mi Ji can still control the political situation of Qin as long as he is willing. This influence is not to ask for influence from Zhao Zheng, but can be directly without going through the influence of Zhao Zheng. Unfortunately, Mi Ji can decide who is the King of Qin, but cannot stop the advance of the Qin chariot. Because from the beginning of design, this chariot cannot stop.

It will only get two results: one is to keep moving forward and crush everything until it cannot support itself and eventually decay and disintegrate; the other is to hit hard rocks and break up in one or several decisive battles. However, the reality cannot be divided so clearly. The Chen Sheng Uprising and the Julu Battle are the superposition of these two results.

Once Mi Ji died, Zhao Zheng was no longer in hindrance and was able to take charge of the entire country. Zhao Zheng was full of energy, and some old people who had existed because of Mi Ji, some policies that were conducive to the espionage activities of the Chu State, and some officials who could be bought were wiped out by him.

It seems that the timing of restoring Ying was chosen properly. After Mi Ji died, the original officials would be replaced on a large scale, and the newly appointed officials could not be familiar with the truth immediately. It is very likely that they could not even call the names of their subordinates. Once they suffered a full-scale attack, they would fall into chaos. Unfortunately, this is just the government affairs system, not the Shaofu, nor the Guoweifu.

"The affairs of the old Ying must be foolproof!" Xiong Jing thought of the old Ying and couldn't help but remind him again.

"Only, I will make the affairs of the old Ying foolish." Knowing that the officials had penetrated for several years, there were no less than five marquises from the Chu State beside the county magistrate Mi Shan, so the affairs of the old Ying should be absolutely sure.

Xiong Jing just told me not to let me answer him and finally asked, "How about Mi Xuan?"

As soon as Mi Xuan was mentioned, the left and right Shi looked up, and then lowered his head. No one spoke or recorded it. The right Shi bowed to Xiong Jingxu and said he would go to change his clothes. The young Zuo Shi didn't even ask for excuses, and he went out after bowing.

"... At that time, Changwenjun had prepared the talisman of the car and drove the car, and ordered Mi's daughter to leave Qin and sent her daughter to outside Xianyang City. Why..." Knowing that the enemy's officer learned about the whole thing very late, Xiong Qi told her in person. "However, the female son refused to give up the Queen Mother of Zu, so she turned back."

"Oh! She, she..." Although it happened a few months ago, Xiong Jing was still upset.

"The king, the female prince Chunxiao, after returning to Huayang Palace, the Empress Dowager Zu woke up. The King of Qin was very happy and had already made him a good man." Don't let me say again. However, this news made Xiong Jing crazy.

"She has never joined forces with Zhao Zheng, let alone the temple, so why did she have a good man?! Why did she have a good man?!" Xiong Jing waved her hand vigorously, shouting with excitement that she had not noticed. "Why did she..."

With a choking sound, the five-foot sword was pulled out. Fortunately, Xiong Jing restrained his anger and did not slash.

Although Xiong Jing was angry, I would still say something. He said again: "It is reported that the Qin Dynasty has decided to make a decision and ordered the female princess to report to the temple."

"Tell the temple?!How to tell the temple?" Xiong Jingli shouted.

"Just in Huayang Palace, several royal wives followed the daughter of the princes this month." Don't worry me, he was worried that Xiong Jing would take the risk. But now he could only tell me. "Please give the king the order, and know that the prince will definitely take the daughter back."
