Chapter 21: Division of labor, everyone has their own responsibilities!
Silently reciting in his mind, he issued an order to the system: "System, release three thousand Jinyiwei, one thousand kilograms of rice seeds, one thousand kilograms of potato seeds, one thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, and ask Master Lu Ban to show up."

In an instant, people gathered on the wide square, and three piles of plump seeds were piled in the corners.

Three thousand Jinyi Guards lined up in an orderly manner. With bursts of rustling sounds, they shouted in unison: "Jinyi Guards greet the young master!"

The three leading figures, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, were prominently present, while Azure Dragon had also returned home and was standing proudly in front of the team.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with dark skin, square face, big mouth and wide nose, dressed in cloth. He was Master Lu Ban.

At this moment, he also respectfully bowed to Ying Heng and said, "Lu Ban greets you, sir."

Ying Heng nodded slightly, knowing that the talents endowed by the system were all top loyal people who would execute any of his orders without hesitation.

So he began to think carefully and assign tasks one by one.

"Qinglong, you will personally lead 500 elite soldiers to stay in Xianyang. Your primary mission is to eliminate the remnants of the six kingdoms and closely monitor the movements of court officials and guests in the various royal palaces."

"Bai Hu, you will be in charge of intelligence work. Lead 1,500 Jinyiwei to various cities. On the surface, you will use your identity as a salt official as a cover."

"For those Jinyiwei who have made their identities public, you must assist county officials in implementing the grace order, and at the same time, you must collect intelligence while performing your duties."

"In addition to keeping a close eye on the movements of the nobles of the six former nations, we must also infiltrate the groups of drivers, boatmen, shopkeepers, porters, and brokers, and if necessary, we can place spies among them."

"In addition, we must fully collect information on these three key figures: Zhang Liang, who became famous after assassinating Qin Shihuang in Bolingsha; Xiao He, who may have come from Fengyi County or Pei County; and Han Xin, who was born in Sishui County, and ensure timely reporting."

"At the same time, the actions of Liu Bang of Pei County and Xiang Yu, who is known as the son of Qilin in the Xiang family, must be closely monitored and there must be no slackness."

"As for the movements of the foreign tribes on the border, we must send our most intelligent soldiers from the Jinyiwei to secretly investigate the Xiongnu, Baiyue, Penglai and other places, and report back with intelligence at any time."

"Bai Hu, you have an important task to shoulder. You can give priority to selecting the elites among the Jinyiwei and set up a team specifically at the northern border. Any outlaws or retainers who intend to pass on the message to Fusu will be intercepted and questioned."

"Xuanwu, you will lead 500 elite soldiers and follow me to learn farming and production. The first task is to properly use these 3,000 kilograms of seeds. Rice needs to be planted near a water source, and sweet potatoes and potatoes are more drought-resistant. The specific location will be selected by you personally."

"Suzaku, you stay by my side and wait for orders. The rest of the Jinyiwei will serve as mobile forces and be ready to be dispatched by me at any time."

The four of them responded in unison, kneeling solemnly and saying, "Qinglong (Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu) obey your command!"

After completing the deployment of the Jinyiwei, Ying Heng called Lu Ban to his side and ordered the blue-clothed attendant to take out paper and pen and spread the table.

He wrote quickly and in an instant he had sketched out the design of the curved plow, and then said in a deep voice.

"Lu Ban, this is the design of the curved plow. The structure looks simple, but it actually contains ingenuity."

"If it can be used for arable land, it will greatly save manpower and animal power, and it can be called an agricultural magic weapon."

This middle-aged man in his thirties stared at the drawings for a long time with his discerning eyes, exclaiming in admiration.

"Your Excellency has a brilliant idea. The structure of this curved plow is so exquisite. Once it is put into use, it will surely bring about a subversive change in agricultural production. It is truly amazing!"

Lu Ban studied the blueprints attentively, and after just a few readings, he had a clear idea in mind.

He raised his head and said to Ying Heng loudly: "Sir, just give me your orders. Old Lu has understood everything."

Ying Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I will assign 3 skilled craftsmen to you. You need to make curved plows within three days and within a month. Do you have the confidence?"

"Three thousand skilled craftsmen, five hundred for three days, thirty thousand for a month?"

Lu Ban repeated it, his eyes gleaming with challenge and confidence.

"Sir, you underestimate me, Lu Ban. It doesn't take so long to make such a simple thing. Just wait for good news!" Ying Heng nodded with satisfaction and promised, "In this case, I will let Li Si fully cooperate with you. Whether it is wood, iron ore, blacksmiths and other resources, I will ensure sufficient supply."

When Lu Ban heard that there was not only the task of making the curved plow, but also many more novel things waiting for him to lead the production, his eyes lit up and his spirit became even more lifted.

Finally, Ying Heng arranged: "In addition, Suzaku, send a hundred elite followers to protect Master Luban's safety, and prevent any spies from snooping into the secrets."

As the crowd dispersed, Ying Heng leaned back tiredly on the rattan chair and let out a long sigh.

"Ah~, this is so tiring."

"Qingyi, Ziyi, let's start." He called softly.

"Yes, sir~!" Two maids responded, their voices clear and melodious, like the sound of nature.

……

Under the warm sunshine of April in Xianyang, Ying Heng lay leisurely in a rattan chair with his eyes closed.

The sun is not too hot and the breeze is gentle, bringing the youthful scent of new buds sprouting from the trees in the garden.

He emptied his mind and let his mental energy flow out naturally like a tide, sensing every thriving vitality in the manor and the two busy and lively girls.

A woman in green came gracefully from the covered bridge, carrying a basin of boiling hot water, with her long, straight legs.

Her gait was graceful, as if all the spring was concentrated on that pair of long legs.

The woman in purple was holding a cup of health-preserving tea, steady on a high stool, and walking towards this side.

Ying Heng smiled secretly in his heart and walked slower, making her graceful figure more striking.

After a while, the woman in blue knelt in front of Ying Heng's feet and carefully placed a deep basin filled with hot water on the stool.

Then she gently took off Yingheng's shoes and socks, immersed his feet in warm water, and began to rub and press softly, with delicate and caring movements.

The woman in purple placed high footstools behind Ying Heng, sat down gracefully, and then gently lifted Ying Heng's head, allowing it to lean comfortably in her arms.

She stretched out a pair of slender hands, gently massaged Ying Heng's temples with her fingertips, and at the right time took the cup of warm tea and brought it to Ying Heng's lips.

"Hmm~"

Ying Heng let out a contented hum in enjoyment; the sunshine, the breeze, the tea, everything was just right.

Having two stunning maids serving him attentively is undoubtedly the ultimate portrayal of a good life.

This burly man was none other than the renowned General Wang Ben.

Behind him were more than a thousand generals, pushing heavy wooden carts and walking into the courtyard in an orderly manner like a long dragon.

Every soldier was sweating profusely, his face was sallow and his lips were pale and bloodless, which was caused by lack of salt in the body and excessive fatigue.

Although they were regular troops eating government rations and did not have to suffer from hunger like ordinary people, the supply of salt was always in short supply when there was no war.

They had used up all their strength to survive the whole morning, sweating all over their bodies and losing a lot of salt, making them all very weak.

As soon as he stepped into the garden, Wang Ben was attracted by the picturesque scenery of mountains and water. However, instead of appreciating it, he was furious!
