Chapter 199 The First Emperor is obsessed with the elixir of immortality
Ying Yuan is thinking about something at the moment.
How come there are so many sprouts at this time?
I hope nothing goes wrong with this.
However, he actually didn't know much about farming.
All he knew was all the knowledge he plagiarized from the Internet in his previous life.
Some of these things may be released by the top scientists for popular science, and learning them is profitable;
But there are also some that are just made up by those netizens who have nothing better to do.
The point is, some damn netizens are really good at making fun of things!
They work very hard to come up with all kinds of specious knowledge to make you feel that "hiss, it makes sense!"
Then just follow their lead and you will be killed.
As for them, they don't want anything else but to laugh when you make a fool of yourself!
Ying Yuan is sometimes afraid that he will encounter such a situation.
Therefore, he now had to think about whether there were any flaws in the planting techniques he had previously taught.
Seeing Ying Yuan falling into deep thought again, Wang Xi looked at Xiahou Ying beside him and suddenly spoke.
"General Xiahou, the sweet potatoes you are talking about are the immortal grains that produce a thousand kilograms per mu?"
When Xiahou Ying heard the voice of "General Xiahou", he felt a sense of refreshment in every pore. His chest was straightened high, as if it wanted to break through the sky.
But Ying Yuan just figured it out at this moment and took over the conversation directly.
"Yes, that's exactly it!"
"Your grandfather also knows about this!"
"If I was the only one who insisted before, then as the seedlings sprouted and the harvests appeared in front of everyone one by one, the situation would be completely different!"
"Both your grandfather and Prime Minister Li know clearly how much impact this sweet potato will have on the people's livelihood and the military of our Great Qin if it is promoted!"
“To be frank, it’s a sea change!”
Ying Yuan's words sounded somewhat arrogant, but he was full of confidence.
In this era, food is a very important item both for people's livelihood and military strength.
Whether or not one can eat enough, and how much it costs to eat enough, these are huge issues.
In other words, Wang Xi is Wang Jian’s granddaughter, and Ying Yuan has some other thoughts about her.
Otherwise, not everyone would know these things!
But when Wang Xi heard these words, she was keenly reminded of other things.
"Plant and promote sweet potatoes, and train Wang Li, Meng Qi, and Li You..."
"Salt and iron monopoly, establishment of academies, planning of imperial examinations..."
The more Wang Xi thought about Ying Yuan’s past actions together, the more his scalp tingled.
It seems that there really is a consistent strategy and arrangement involved.
Thinking of this, Wang Xi hesitated slightly and asked carefully.
"Master, Xi'er heard that today is the official enrollment day for the academy. Can Xi'er go with you to take a look?"
Wang Xi said this hesitantly.
Because she knows it very well.
As the eldest daughter of the Junwu King's family, if she appeared at the academy's enrollment ceremony, the meaning would be different.
Even if she could say that she was just curious and wanted to take a look, what about the other forces?
Do they think so?
will not!
They would only wonder what terms of the deal Ying Yuan and the Wang family had reached.
If Wang Xi could think of these things, Ying Yuan could naturally think of them as well.
However, he just smiled and nodded, saying: "Miss Xi'er is in this mood, then I will accompany you!"
...In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor, who had not been seen for a long time, was casually flipping through the memorials submitted during this period.
Among these, some were those that Ying Yuan had dealt with, and they were all those that involved government affairs;
But there was also a part that was sent directly to the First Emperor, and all of them were impeachments against Ying Yuan.
Ironically, these memorials criticizing Ying Yuan are now all written on paper.
These impeachment memorials were quite clever, as they did not involve any trivial matters.
They basically concentrated their firepower on attacking the Huns.
They just focused on one point, that is, Meng Qi, Li You and Wang Li were not capable of taking on this important task.
But in fact, the First Emperor had already known this matter.
Heavy cavalry and light cavalry attacked together, equipped with heavy composite bows that had never been used before.
It can be said that for the First Emperor who experienced the war to unify the world.
He also wanted to know how powerful this war mode, which he had never seen before, was!
As for the clamor of those court officials, the First Emperor did not take them seriously at all.
Since his usually lazy and scumbag son was willing to challenge himself and give it a try, then as the ruler of the Qin Dynasty, could it be that he is no match for that brat?
Thinking of this, the First Emperor rarely showed a slight smile!
I don’t know if that kid is secretly cursing me behind my back again.
After all, that kid likes to be lazy all the time, and as a result, he was accidentally kicked into his current position.
At that time, perhaps I wanted to give Fusu a reminder, but also to "have some fun"!
But who knew that this kid actually gave him a big surprise in this position.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the courage, the First Emperor felt very satisfied.
In fact, it can be said that at least in this respect, the First Emperor could have said, "He is so similar to me!"
In particular, the First Emperor stood behind Ying Yuan and watched Ying Yuan kill certain factions and forces in the court.
He laughed particularly happily.
This is how you should be as my regent son!
Since these villains are blocking the way of the Qin Dynasty, why not just destroy them?
The First Emperor was about to laugh, but suddenly his expression froze, and then he burst into a violent coughing fit.
"Cough cough cough..."
The eunuchs and guards present did not dare to show the slightest change of expression.
"Your Majesty, according to reports, there is a man in Jiaodong County who calls himself an immortal master and is said to be able to refine an elixir of immortality!"
Gao Zhan walked quickly into the hall and reported quickly in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor glanced at Gao Zhan and then calmly ordered, "Announce!"
"promise!"
Gao Zhan bowed and took the order and left, not daring to say another word.
Most people in this world are ignorant and always claim to have immortality, but has anyone ever seen it?
But, for the First Emperor.
"Longevity? Why do I need longevity?"
"Give me another ten years!"
"No! Even if it's just five years, it's enough for me!"
"By then, why should we worry that our Great Qin will not last forever?"
"My lord, it takes time!"
The First Emperor's soft murmurs echoed softly in the empty Xianyang Palace, but no one could answer him.
Perhaps, for this emperor, he does not need such an answer.
He just silently looked at the map of the Qin territory hanging on the wall for a long time without saying a word!
