205 Rice and Wheat On the Plate, Xu Fu landed on the Island to get the ‘Shen Fruit’

Finally, after some discussion, Meng Tian and Lu Bu called the frustrated young master Fusu, handed over the autumn harvest information in their hands to the young master Fusu, and told them about their plan to ask Prince Fusu to submit a letter to the First Emperor Ying Zheng on their behalf.

The reason why Young Master Fusu was depressed was not only because he was forced to stay away from the power center of the Great Qin Empire, but also because he was the next Emperor of Great Qin, but he was unable to make any favorable decisions for the people of the world who were about to be included in his hands. How could Young Master Fusu, who had been implemented by Confucianism since childhood, not feel sad?

However, the food matters that Meng Tian and Lu Bu told him made him feel energetic. It was not that Mr. Fusu valued the merits of this matter, but that this matter, as Meng Tian said, was a good thing that greatly benefited the people of the world. Once wheat and rice were vigorously promoted by the Qin Empire to all parts of the country, not only would the annual grain tax be greatly increased, but more people would not go hungry because of the lack of food, and the Qin Empire would be more stable and rich.

"The two generals will not only benefit Hetao, but also benefit millions of people in the world! The Qin Dynasty will benefit deeply, so I will thank the two generals here on behalf of my father!" Mr. Fusu is more like a passionate young man, and he has two different personalities from the gloomy and domineering nature of the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Meng Tian and Lu Bu naturally did not dare to receive the full gift from Prince Fusu. They showed a far better affinity to Prince Fusu than the First Emperor Ying Zheng. They also had their own different thoughts in their hearts.

The news about wheat and rice was soon rushed to Xianyang day and night by the Fusu Prince, and was handed over to the hands of the First Emperor Ying Zheng. Not only was the politically intelligent person far better than that of the Prince Fusu, but he also had so many famous ministers around him, so he naturally regarded the information in his hands as a treasure.

And more importantly, this is the information sent by Mr. Fusu, the "successor" in his mind. Every father will inevitably feel joy after learning that his child has done something worthy of his pride. Although the First Emperor Ying Zheng is the emperor of the ages, he is also an ordinary father.

Although the First Emperor Ying Zheng has not yet planned to transfer the Fusu Prince who was disagreeable with his political views back to Xianyang, a large number of reward materials and enough to reward Meng Tian and Lu Bu and the official titles of "planners" were sent to the Prince Fusu with a wave of his hand by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

After rewarding his sons and those ministers who had made meritorious ministers, the First Emperor Ying Zheng first spent a year to cultivate a large number of wheat and rice straw seeds, and then he began to issue imperial edicts, summoning the world to begin to abandon corn, rice is used more in the south, and wheat is used more in the north.

The people of Guanzhong have long been accustomed to obeying the instructions of the Ying clan of the Qin royal family. Therefore, almost every household in Guanzhong replaced the millet seeds they had been using for wheat seeds and a small part of rice seeds during the spring plowing of the year.

Compared with the trust of the people of Guanzhong for the Ying family of the Qin royal family, many people in Guandong had the order to ask them to go to their respective towns to receive rice and wheat seeds. Only some of the bold people who had sufficient food as capital dared to collect some rice and wheat seeds and cultivate them in their own farmlands.

Most of the people in Kanto still cultivated the original corn seeds and secretly thought in their hearts whether they should take the opportunity to increase the price of corn sales when the so-called rice seeds and wheat seeds are in great losses in the autumn harvest.

But during the autumn harvest that year, some of the Kanto people who dared not grow rice and wheat were staring at the sight of the fact that the grain produced by the rice and wheat was not only several times higher than the corn they planted, but also the rice produced by the rice and the flour ground from the wheat tasted much better after being cooked than corn.

Therefore, during this year, the price of corn in the markets in various places has dropped instantly, and rice produced by rice and wheat produced flour replaced corn and became the favorite meal of the people. The prices naturally soared rapidly. Those vendors who originally wanted to increase the price of corn this year and some people in Kanto had to accept that the corn they had in their hands turned into unpopular food, and the price of sales was far lower than in previous years.

Although some people refuse to sell the corn in their hands at a low price, most people must rely on the money to sell corn in exchange for other necessities of daily necessities. Therefore, all the people who grow corn this year complained without exception, while those who grow wheat and rice made a lot of money.

However, Xu Fu, a priest of the Great Qin Dynasty, sent people to drive the boat that the First Emperor Ying Zheng gave him to search for the legendary immortal fruit. He experienced storms along the way, but under Xu Fu's superb navigation skills, he passed the test of the vast sea without any danger. Finally, he came to the "Yingzhou" divine island that Xu Fu discovered back then, which was suspected to be one of the three divine islands.

In fact, the legendary sacred islands are not all false, but there are no gods here, but there are islands. Xu Fu thought he had climbed the legendary 'Yingzhou' island, but it was actually the Honshu Island of later generations.

The historical materials of later Japanese people were unclear. When Xu Fu landed, Japan was still in ignorance and there was no reliable written record. However, according to the view of some Japanese historical scholars, Xu Fu was the famous ancient monarch, the first emperor, Emperor Shenwu. His place where he landed in Japan was in the Kansai Plain in Japan.

The Japanese have a unique mindset, so when they examined the Xu Fu problem, their ideas were also very unique. Based on archaeological discoveries, they analyzed ancient tomb remains to prove that during the transition period of Xu Fu, the average height of residents in Kansai Kinki region, Japan suddenly increased by five centimeters. From this, it is inferred that this is likely to be a local ethnic improvement caused by Xu Fu and his subordinates after landing. Another interesting phenomenon is that Japanese scientists discovered that one of the Japanese genes came from Yunnan, China, and the pronunciation of Japanese pronunciation also has many similarities with the pronunciation of the Naxi people in Yunnan. What's going on?

The answer may be found from the second incident of Xu Fu's transiting eastward. According to historical records in China, Qin Shihuang could not get all of the three thousand boys and girls requested by Xu Fu at once. At this time, the Qin army happened to conquer Baiyue (Southwest Yi), so Qin Shihuang ordered these conquered tribes to provide the boys and girls they needed. The Southwest Yi is the common ancestor of all ethnic groups in modern Yunnan. Therefore, if the descendants of these Southwest Yi integrated into the Japanese race through Xu Fu's transiting eastward, the Yunnan genes that brought to the Japanese 1 will be well documented.

If Japan has always been the legendary origin of the elixir, and Xu Fu is good at advocating sweet words to deceive Qin Shihuang into trust and obtain the personnel and equipment he needs, it would be more logical. Otherwise, if you want to plant flowers on the raw land, if you want Qin Shihuang to make a bleeding root, you may be more likely to fool your head.

The problem is, was there really a so-called "Immortal Medicine" in ancient Japan? Some people in later generations thought that there was a magical thing, but although this "magical" thing can make people healthy and prolong their vitality, it does not have the characteristics of "Immortality". It is said that this "magical" fruit is produced on Zhudao, and what is even more "surprising" is that it still leaves its own "born" even in thousands of years of later generations.

The island of Zhu is located in the Seto Inland Sea, surrounded by Kyushu, Honshu, and Shikoku and three islands, and is sparsely populated. It has been circulated since ancient times that there is a magical plant fruit in the heart of its deep valley, commonly known as "Keke". It is called "Qiansui" in ancient Japanese books. It is as big as walnuts, with a strong juice and sweet taste. It is said that eating it can protect you from dying for a thousand years. Just smell it can increase your life by three years and three months.

At the end of the 19th century, Japanese botanist Tomotaro Makino once visited. After hard work, he picked up the "Chitosei" specimen and wrote a letter to his friend in ecstasy: "This is my most precious discovery, and its value is indescribable." Among the people of Zhudao, there is also the habit of making sticks with branches of this plant, called Penglai Staff.

If the legend of "Thousands of Sui" was introduced to Middle Earth in the past, Xu Fu's family lived in the coast of the East China Sea, it would be not very strange to hear it. Such a legend, accompanied by other channels, was not impossible to pass it into Qin Shihuang's ears, then Xu Fu would be extremely convincing at this time. Even the people of Zhu Island believe that Xu Fu had visited their islands because there was a stone carved chessboard left on the rocks in the bay, which the locals said was left by Xu Fu.

Speaking of this for all book friends, it seems that a hypothesis can be proposed, that is, the immortal medicine that Xu Fu looked for for Qin Shihuang back then is probably the magical fruit produced on Zhu Island - "Qiansui". But what exactly is "Qiansui"? Does it still exist now? The conclusion is very encouraging. Qiansui not only exists, but is also being artificially planted.

This "Qiansui" is indeed a rare plant. Its scientific name is a vine-shaped shrub. It uses roots and fruits as medicine. It has the effects of regulating the middle and regulating qi, moistening the body and dryness, relieving heat and eliminating irritation, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling. The flesh is green, and the skin is soft and hairy. In thousands of years later, there have been artificially cultivated varieties, and the fruit size has increased several times. Eating it regularly can strengthen the body and prolong life.

In addition, it has a Chinese name called Wild Kiwi!
