It is autumn now, and the valleys and chestnuts in various places are almost the same.

However, the only thing Li Yang is uncertain about is whether the Ministry of Revenue has counted the harvest this year so quickly.

Ji Qi was the Minister of Revenue, so money and food matters were naturally under his control.

Seeing Li Yang’s question, Ji Kai quickly replied: “Sir, the autumn harvest report for the southern provinces such as Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi has not yet arrived, but the rest of Guanzhong have submitted the autumn harvest data. It is very happy that the harvest of these provinces this year has almost three times that of previous years! My subordinates believe that the provinces in Jiangnan are almost inseparable from each other.”

"Oh? It really increased by three times the harvest!" Li Yang was immediately overjoyed when he heard this.

The three-fold increase in food means that the problem of food and clothing in Daqin was completely solved.

Daqin no longer has to worry about food and food, and naturally he can open his hands and feet to develop handicrafts and economic construction.

Thinking of this, Li Yang felt extremely happy.

Ji Kai said: "It is true in Guanzhong at present. I, Daqin, have not had such a large harvest in the past ten years. This is a blessing for the Qin Dynasty and the people. Of course, all this is due to the great contribution of the adults. First, it is the invention and improvement of the plow, and at the same time transporting the cattle and horses of the Donghu and the Xiongnu to the Central Plains, which has increased the farming efficiency several times. In addition, the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes promoted by the adults are amazing, and they can be planted in dry land. This is why this huge former production has been achieved. Otherwise, it would be impossible to triple the harvest by relying solely on the jujube."

Everyone nodded, agreed with Ji Kai's analysis, and said together: "This time, I am a great harvest, and I am the master of great achievements."

Li Yang waved his hand and smiled, "If you want to talk about credit, this credit should actually belong to Xu Fu! If it hadn't crossed the ocean and transported these new crops from Shaohaozhou, how could it have been today? We should remember this great credit for him."

"What the Lord said is very true. Shangshu Xu made great contributions!" Everyone nodded repeatedly.

No one has any objection to Xu Fuju’s success.

Moreover, Li Yang really sympathized with Xu Fu. He was so old that he had traveled to America twice. Most people couldn't stand such an errand.

The first time was to transport seeds from crops such as corn, potatoes, etc. As soon as I came back, I hadn't even rested for a few days, so I followed Ying Zheng back to America.

To be honest, Li Yang felt a little sorry for this old guy.

However, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Xu Fu has rich sailing experience and traveled to America twice. Apart from him, Li Yang really couldn't find any other candidates to go for him. So he could only make trouble for him.

Li Yang could not find someone to take care of him for this hard work, but Li Yang still had to record this credit for him. The only thing Da Qin could repay him was this honor.

Therefore, Li Yang said at the moment: "The Ministry of Education must write Xu Fu's deeds into textbooks so that everyone can know his great achievements, and at the same time, let the people of the Qin Dynasty learn from his noble spirit of serving the country and benefiting the people."

Xiao He and others quickly agreed and were full of respect for Xu Fu.

Fusu nodded in agreement and said, "Shangshu Xu's achievements lies in the country and in the people. When his father comes back, I will definitely ask for merit for him."

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "By the way, can the Taifu have gained this time when he went south to inspect?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Li Yang curiously.

Li Yang nodded: "The harvest will naturally occur. The biggest gain is that the talent of Gongshuoche was discovered in Langya! He is a genius of the world in terms of machinery and manufacturing. With this person in charge of the Engineering and Manufacturing Bureau and leading the construction of sea ships, I believe that the sea ships of the Qin Dynasty and the entire manufacturing industry will develop rapidly."

"Oh? I, Daqin, have such a genius!"

Fusu couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Si and others also looked amazed, obviously they were curious about this person in Gongshuoche, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that if you have the chance, you must meet this genius in the mouth of the general."

Everyone nodded, and even Fusu looked at the expression of seeing him at first sight.

In their eyes, Li Yang can be regarded as a genius with extraordinary skills, outstanding wisdom, and proficient in hundreds of schools of thought. However, this Gongshuo can make Li Yang praise him, so this person is definitely not simple.

Li Yang smiled: "I will have the chance to meet again in the future."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Fusu said again: "Tao Fu, what other strange and interesting things are there?"

Li Yang smiled: "It is difficult to find strange people in the world, and there are many interesting things. However, today I don't want to mention interesting things, because this time, my visit to the south, in addition to the strange people and interesting things, I also discovered a major dilemma in the current Qin Dynasty."

"Disaster?"

When everyone heard this word, their expressions became tight and they became solemn.

"What's the dilemma?" Fusu was also stunned and asked hurriedly.

Li Yang said: "The dilemma of logistics and transportation!"

“Logistics and transportation?”

Everyone was confused. It was obvious that no one had heard of the term logistics at this time.

Li Yang saw their confusion and said, "Logistics refers to the circulation of goods and goods. Logistics transportation refers to the circulation of goods through transportation. This time I went out of Xianyang, passed Shandong, went south to Jiangsu, Guangdong, and then returned to Xianyang through Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Bashu, and returned to Xianyang. This way from south to north was discovered that due to the inconvenience of transportation, many goods between the north and south of our Great Qin were not circulated. This was a very serious dilemma for the Great Qin."

This time, everyone finally understood, so everyone nodded slightly and showed a thoughtful expression.

Li Si said: "The transportation of goods between the north and the south is indeed a dilemma. It is thousands of miles apart and long distances. Many goods have deteriorated before they can be transported to their destinations. And some goods that will not deteriorate, the cost of transporting them thousands of miles is also very high, which is also a major obstacle to the non-circulation of goods between the north and the south."

Xiao He also said: "Yes, the transportation cost is too high, so naturally there is little circulation between the north and the south."

Zhang Cang said: "These are thousands of miles apart from the north and the south, and it is probably impossible to change it."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this sentence.

Indeed, the territory of the Great Qin unified the six countries is too wide. It is not easy to get goods from various regions of the Great Qin to be smooth.

Fusu said: "In fact, my father has also spent a lot of effort on this matter, so he has put the whole country into building the Qi Dao and the Shi Dao."

Qin Chi Road mainly uses transportation to facilitate the emperor's patrol. It can be said that this is the earliest formal "national highway" in Chinese history. The Qin straight road is mainly used for military functions and can be used as a troop transport channel.

Qinchi Road, centered on Xianyang, can lead to all parts of the country. There is only one straight road, leading to Jiuyuan County, with a total length of more than 700 kilometers.

In fact, the rapid and straight roads that Qin Shihuang built were already a major innovation in the communication path in Chinese history.

Li Yang said: "Although Your Majesty has built the road, it is still difficult for the transportation of goods between the north and the south. We still need to think of another way to solve this dilemma."

"Is there a way...the Taifu has a way?" Fusu said curiously.
Chapter completed!
