Chapter 41 It’s not a big deal
After the court was dismissed.
Ying Zheng took Fusu and Wang Ben with him, and transferred several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, etc. from the emperor's private treasury, and went straight to Tiandao Tower.
Ying Zheng wanted to ask Mr. if there was any good way to increase the treasury income and increase grain production.
Ying Zheng understood the principle of preparing for a rainy day better than anyone else.
He couldn't bet everything on a good weather and increased grain production in Daqin next year!
God's face often changes at any time.
If natural disasters break out in many places next year and the grain harvest is not as expected, Daqin will be in big trouble!
Food is the heaven for the people!
If they can't eat enough, the sky will fall for the people, and rebellion is normal!
Therefore, Ying Zheng must prepare for a rainy day.
Ying Zheng thought about it and realized that only Mr. could help him in the whole Daqin. If even Mr. couldn't help him, then there would be no other way.
The carriages and horses stopped at the door of Tiandao Tower.
Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Wang Ben entered the building.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, and Marquis Tongwu, you haven't been to Tiandao Tower for a while!" Chen Qilin greeted them with a smile.
The God of Wealth came to the door, so there is no reason not to welcome him.
At the same time, Tiandao Tower also showed Chen Qilin the information of Ying Zheng, Fusu and Wang Ben.
When he learned that the treasury of the Qin Dynasty was in a tight situation, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind and he thought of a good idea.
Chen Qilin decided to cooperate with Ying Zheng to do business, let's call it the establishment of a state-owned enterprise.
He has a lot of projects on hand. In addition to brewing technology, there are also papermaking, refined salt manufacturing technology, movable type printing, soap manufacturing technology, cement manufacturing technology, glass manufacturing technology, etc., any of which are business that can make a lot of money.
In the past, Ying Zheng did not have this demand, and Chen Qilin did not mention it.
Now, Ying Zheng urgently needs to increase the treasury revenue, so he can naturally talk to the other party about cooperating in running a state-owned enterprise.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much!" Ying Zheng smiled as if he saw an old friend.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Crown Prince, and Marquis Tongwu, you sit down first!" Chen Qilin invited them to sit down.
Ying Zheng sat comfortably on the sofa.
But Fusu and Wang Ben stood there.
Ying Zheng glanced at the two of them: "You sit down too!"
After getting permission from His Majesty, Fusu and Wang Ben sat on the leather sofa.
It was really comfortable, soft and bouncy.
Chen Qilin looked at them and said, "Would you like tea or coffee?"
"Coffee!" the three said in unison.
Chen Qilin smiled and said, "Ying'er, make three cups of coffee!"
"Okay, sir!" A clear and pleasant female voice came from the backyard.
Not long after, Wang Ying, who was wearing a goose yellow long skirt and was pure and cute, came to the reception room with coffee and first delivered the coffee to Qin Shihuang.
Ying Zheng took the coffee, looked at Wang Ying, and thought that Ying Yinman, that girl, would come back soon!
Wang Ying gave the coffee to Fusu again, and finally, gave a cup to Wang Ben.
"My daughter, you must listen to the teacher in Tiandao Tower, be diligent, and learn more from the teacher!" Wang Ben took the coffee and taught earnestly.
"Yes, Dad!" Wang Ying said, and then she left obediently.
She did her duty as a maid and didn't want to annoy the teacher.
Chen Qilin looked at Qin Shihuang and got to the point: "Your Majesty, why did you come to Tiandao Tower this time?"
Some things are better for the other party to say it themselves.
"Sir, I gave up the strategy of exhausting the remnants of the six countries and reduced the tax burden... May I ask if there is any way to increase the income of the Qin treasury? In addition, do you have any strategy to increase grain production?" Ying Zheng told him about his difficulties one by one.
Chen Qilin did not answer immediately, but just looked at Ying Zheng with a smile.
"Wang Ben, bring in all the treasure chests!" Ying Zheng knew it was time to pay.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben trotted out of Tiandao Tower and quickly helped the three treasure chests to Tiandao Tower.
[Ding! The contents of the three treasure chests can be exchanged for 150 Tiandao points! 】
Chen Qilin saw this and smiled.
It seems that Ying Zheng came here with full sincerity and spent a lot of money!
In addition, Chen Qilin secretly asked the system: "System, in order to solve the food problem of Daqin, can I buy a large number of sweet potato and potato seeds in the system mall?"
[Ding! This is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. The host can buy enough sweet potato and potato seeds in the system mall, let Ying Zheng breed them, and promote them throughout Daqin. 】
Chen Qilin thought that the system would restrict it, but he didn't expect that he could buy a large number of them. He had a bottom line in his heart.
Chen Qilin thought that as long as he spent 10 Tiandao points to buy the seeds of the two grain crops, it would be enough for Ying Zheng to breed them, and then sow them on large tracts of land in Daqin.
As for the problem of generating income for the Daqin treasury, Chen Qilin didn't need to ask the system, he had his own way.
"Sir, can you help me?" Ying Zheng asked.
Chen Qilin nodded and said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Nothing in this world can stump me at Tiandao Tower!"
"Sir, is this money enough for you to deduce the secrets of heaven?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
Chen Qilin said: "Enough, Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
He picked up the three treasure chests and walked towards the backyard.
After Chen Qilin exchanged the three boxes of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, etc. for Tiandao points, he bought a large amount of potatoes, sweet potato tubers, and materials on the production process of refined salt (including the method of drying sea salt), glass manufacturing process, and cement manufacturing process technology from the system mall.
These things cost Chen Qilin 15 Tiandao points in total.
He also made a net profit of 135 Tiandao points.
Chen Qilin came to the living room again with these materials, a potato, and a sweet potato.
"Sir, please help me deduce the secrets of heaven!" Ying Zheng stood up and saluted Mr.
Chen Qilin pointed to the things in his hand, and said with a smile on his lips: "Your Majesty, your two major problems can be solved with these things in my hand!"
"Sir, what are these?" Ying Zheng heard this and looked at the pile of things in his hands with confusion.
Fusu and Wang Bi also looked at Mr. with curiosity.
Chen Qilin took the lead in picking up a potato and explained:
"This thing is called 'potato', and its yield is extremely huge. The yield per mu can reach at least 2,000-3,000 kilograms, and it can be grown two seasons a year in the Central Plains and other places!"
Chen Qilin added: "If calculated in terms of stones, the yield per mu would be at least 20-30 stones (1 stone is equivalent to about 100 kilograms)!"
The yield per mu is 20-30 shi! ! !
When Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Wang Ben heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked and dumbfounded!
After a while, they finally came to their senses!
"Sir, are you telling the truth?" Ying Zheng asked.
Chen Qilin smiled and said: "Of course!"
"Then, sir, is this soil... good for growing potatoes?" Ying Zheng spoke so excitedly that he felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Qilin said: "Potatoes are easy to grow. You don't have to pick the land. The yield will be much higher when planted in fertile land, and it will not be too bad when planted in barren land. In addition, these potatoes can be used as a staple food or as a dish. !”
When Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Wang Ben heard this, they were stunned!
This potato is simply... a gift from heaven! ! !
