my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 285 Do You Want To Kill Huhai?
"The amount of food produced is related to many factors, such as the amount of land, the fertility of the soil, irrigation conditions, farming skills, ability to deal with drought and flood, and the improvement of existing farm tools..."

Everyone looked at Zhao Ying, knowing that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, must have something to say.

Sure enough, he looked around and said with a smile.

"But the most important thing is actually the issue of seeds. Under the current conditions, if we want to increase the yield of grain, the most important thing is to choose the best grain..."

Nei Shiteng waited for a long time, and seeing Zhao Ying talking for a long time, he said that he chose to grow grain. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, shook his head insignificantly, and sat back down again.

Seeing that Zhao Yingwu hadn't realized that he had missed the timidity, he couldn't help reminding him.

"Actually, we have been doing things like choosing and growing grain..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was a bit abrupt, and he suspected that the emperor's eldest grandson was pretending to understand in public, so he added with a smile.

"It's just that I haven't found the key point. The labor is laborious and the efficiency is very low. However, His Highness has come up with such a wonderful way to benefit the world..."

At first, I just wanted to give His Highness the emperor a step down, but as I talked, I realized that this possibility is really great.

It's entirely possible!
Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is talented and intelligent, inventing new farm tools, just like eating and drinking water, maybe there is already a way to improve the efficiency of selecting and growing grain, or even select a better way to grow grain.

Not to mention Nestern, everyone else has actually thought of this.

The First Emperor had already stroked his beard, and began to look at his grandson with a smile, waiting for him to amaze everyone again.

In this era, especially in Daqin, artisans are not yet synonymous with Kit Kat.

The first emperor never felt that his grandson would lower his status if he knew some Mohist skills.What's more, during this period of time, the grandson of my family has released all the sharp weapons of the country that can be passed down to future generations and change the cultivation level of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Who knows, Zhao Ying shook his head with a smile when he heard the words.

"I don't have a whimsical idea, but I found a new rice variety that has strong drought resistance, a short growth cycle, three crops a year, and a considerable yield..."

Cook three times a year!
He was twirling his beard, lamenting that such an amazing and talented person as His Royal Highness, the Emperor's eldest grandson, had shortcomings, and when there was something he didn't understand, he suddenly heard the words three times a year.

His hands trembled excitedly, and several of his beards, which were sparse and sparse, were pulled down.

If this had changed in the past, he would have loved him to death, but at this moment, he couldn't care less, stood up again with a bang, and looked at His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, breathing heavily.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, this statement is true..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to speak authentically.

"May I ask Your Highness, where is this new rice seed now..."

No one paid attention to Zhi Su Nei Shi's gaffe, because everyone was pretty much the same, even the first emperor couldn't help but stare at his eldest grandson.

Cotton has just been introduced on the front foot, and a new rice seed that can be cropped three times a year has been found on the back foot!
Sure enough, there are good things outside of Daqin!
Zhao Ying naturally didn't know that at this time, his father had already wandered off from Dao Zhong to other places, and even started planning how to expand his territory.

"Xianglin County, Xiangjun—"

Zhao Ying didn't hold back, and just threw out the place name.

Xianglin County, Xiangjun County is the birthplace of the famous Champa rice in later generations.The new rice species mentioned by Zhao Ying is actually the Champa rice of later generations.

I don't know why in this era, champagne rice didn't attract enough attention from the rulers.

It is obvious that Daqin's emphasis on agriculture has almost reached the point of outrage.He also invested more energy in guiding farmers to cultivate than many dynasties in later generations, and had more refined management.

Moreover, Zhancheng—that is, Xianglin—has now been brought under the rule of Daqin.

It can be said that it has taken advantage of the time and place.

But in fact, this kind of drought-resistant and high-yield rice, which can even be ripened three times a year, did not attract enough attention until the time of Song Zhenzong.

This Song Zhenzong, after personally planting in the palace, directly ordered "take [-] dendrobium of Champa rice" and distribute it to various places for planting and promotion, directly doubling the output of rice.

"Su Lake is cooked, the world is full."

This is the credit of Champa rice. Since the center of China's grain industry has moved south, Jiangnan has gradually become a land of fish and rice.

"Xianglin County?"

The First Emperor looked around suspiciously, and immediately a servant at the side brought over a roll of maps with a very winking look.

The first emperor opened it in public and focused his attention on the piece of land near the sea.

Xiangjun was established in the 33rd year of the first emperor, that is, in 214 BC, nearly four years ago.Naturally, he had inspected his newly acquired land repeatedly on the map, but he never expected that such an inconspicuous place would hide such good rice seeds!

Looking at Shi Huangdi's uncertain gaze, Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Xianglin County."

"Three ripes a year?"

"Three ripes a year."

"Drought resistance?"

"Drought resistance."

The First Emperor slapped the tables in front of him.

"This county magistrate's loss!"

Zhao Ying: ...

Is it the county magistrate's fault?

Can't say no.

After all, as a county magistrate, he has the responsibility of persuading farmers and mulberry farmers. He didn't report to the court in time for a new rice seed that could break Daqin's food predicament...

Regardless of the reason, it is not wrong to say that he was dereliction of duty.

At this time, no one doubted what Zhao Ying said. After all, in front of the First Emperor and so many ministers in the court, if it was not true, even the eldest grandson of the emperor would never dare to talk about it.

Because, this thing is too easy to verify.

"I implore Your Majesty to immediately order to go to Xianglin County to transfer rice seeds and promote it to the world..."

Nei Shi Teng looked excited, and looked at Shi Huang with burning eyes.

As the highest official in the Great Qin Dynasty who is in charge of agricultural production, this new type of drought-resistant and high-yielding crop was a surprise.

The First Emperor said in a deep voice.

"allow!"

Immediately, people called Li Chen, Zhuo Yi, Xu Zhi and others, and ordered to draft an edict immediately, ordering Meng Tian, ​​the general who is now sitting in the south of Lingnan, to immediately collect local rice seeds and transport them back to Guanzhong.

Seeing Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi, they turned around to leave.

Zhao Ying couldn't help being moved in his heart, stopped their figures, smiled and looked at the uplifted Emperor Shihuang.

"Father, it is very important to collect and escort new rice seeds. If you are not careful, it will affect the promotion of this year's planting. You must not be careless in employing people-General Zhao Tuo, he is calm in his work, and he has been in Lingnan for a long time, and he is familiar with Lingnan affairs. If he is personally responsible, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort..."

If the Xianglin County rice seeds Zhao Ying talked about were really as good as he said——no, even with a discount, it would be a great discovery.

Food is the most important thing for the people. For the Great Qin court, this kind of thing cannot be overemphasized.

Zhao Ying's recommendation was almost impeccable.

Regarding Zhao Ying's suggestion, the First Emperor naturally knew it well. This bastard clearly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer Zhao Tuo back from Lingnan!
He glanced at his eldest grandson jokingly, wondering why this kid was so worried about Zhao Tuo?
Back then, he wanted to call Zhao Tuo back when the chief generals guarding various places were transferred, and now he took this opportunity to speak...

However, he pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.

"That makes sense! Quite—"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help being overjoyed, and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason!

Today, the first emperor is still alive, and Zhao Tuo would not dare to disobey the emperor's order even if he gave Zhao Tuo a hundred courage.And once he leaves Lingnan, even if he has great abilities, what new tricks can he find?

When the time comes, he will naturally have a thousand reasons to detain this one.

Perhaps, at this time, Zhao Tuo didn't have the intention to betray Da Qin, nor did he have the courage to betray Da Qin, but Zhao Ying knew that this guy really betrayed him later.

Call back and leave him!
He came in fear and walked away without looking back.

Although this meal was delicious, and although everyone was chatting and laughing today, as soon as they left Zhangtai Palace, everyone subconsciously quickened their pace.

Walk--

go!

No one will mention today's storm, and no one will mention today's shocking case, because it is unnecessary. At this time, no one dares, and no one can block the butcher's knife raised by the first emperor.

The most important thing is that they don't want to know about the following things, and they don't dare to know.

The wind and clouds scattered.

The hall was quickly emptied, watching the maids and servants gently sweeping away the leftovers, the first emperor smiled all morning, and finally cooled down slowly.

It was as cold as frost.

He stood up and looked at Hei who was already in the corner, waiting silently for a long time.Hei bowed and said nothing, and Shi Huang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Looking at Zhao Ying beside him, he said calmly.

"Go, call your eighteenth uncle over..."

Zhao Ying's heart shuddered, and he already had some guesses.

"promise--"

Hu Hai is the guard in the palace, and it is not difficult to find him.Looking at Zhao Ying who was striding forward, Hu Hai's heart trembled, and a far-fetched smile appeared on his face.

"Ying'er..."

Zhao Ying didn't laugh and give him a warm hug as usual, but stopped, looked at him carefully, and then cupped his hands.

"Uncle Eighteen, Father invites you to go over..."

When Hu Hai heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and his legs softened.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, looked at Zhao Ying's stiff face, hesitated for a long time, and then struggled to say.

"Ying'er, if I say that what happened today has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Ying helplessly, and there was already a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Although he has mediocre qualifications and great ambitions, he is not stupid. He knows what will happen to him if he is charged with this crime today, and he also knows that if there are no special circumstances, it is impossible for him to get rid of this planted nephew today. Victory against His Majesty!

Because, all the evidence now points to him.

But I can't argue with myself!
Zhao Ying stopped, turned to look at Hu Hai behind him, stared into his eyes, and spoke calmly after a long time.

"Uncle Shiba, you should understand that it doesn't matter whether I believe you or not, the important thing is how you explain it to Daddy..."

Hu Hai was at a loss for words.

"I didn't do it!"

Hu Hai paused for a long time, and could only choke out this sentence a little weakly. After finishing speaking, he didn't know whether it was to cheer himself up, or to prove it to Zhao Ying.

"I really didn't..."

Zhao Ying didn't go to see him.

"Let's go, don't keep Daddy waiting..."

Seeing Zhao Ying's indifferent attitude, Hu Hai couldn't help but sink to the bottom of the valley.He seemed to have been sucked out of energy, his legs were weak, and he walked as if he was in the clouds.

Looking at the youngest son who walked over in a daze, a look of extreme complexity flashed in Shi Huang's eyes.

He waved his hand lightly.

The maids and guards in the hall stepped back instantly.

In the empty hall, only the grandparent and grandson were left.

"Eighteen, do you know why I called you here today..."

Looking at the pale and panic-stricken youngest son, Shi Huang's face slowly put away the complex expression, his eyes gradually became calm, like an ancient well without waves, his voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

Hearing his own A Weng's voice, Hu Hai couldn't help but his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Aon, it's not me—"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Huangdi eagerly.

"It's not really me..."

The first emperor looked at the panicked and disorganized youngest son inexplicably, and sighed silently in his heart.

In the past, how did I come up with the idea of ​​letting him take over Daqin?
"How do you prove..."

Hu Hai was tongue-tied and stunned for a long time before getting up excitedly.

"Ah Weng, that bastard Li Shiqi framed me, right? He must have framed me..."

Shi Huang's heart became colder and he sighed.

"Before Li Shiqi died, he never told you a word..."

Hu Hai: ...

He was suddenly at a loss, at a loss.He suddenly realized that even if he wanted to defend himself, he couldn't defend himself.Because no one came to identify him from the beginning to the end, and even Li Shiqi, who proposed the plan in the first place, was dead.

But all the evidence points to him...

A heart can't help but sink to the bottom of the valley.

The First Emperor sighed, and looked at Zhao Ying who was silent at the side.

"Ying'er, how do you think this evil obstacle should be dealt with..."

Zhao Ying looked at Hu Hai, and suddenly rushed over, hugging his ankle tightly.

"Ying'er, you have to believe me, it's not me, it's really not me, I don't—by the way, our uncle and nephew have always had the best relationship, how could I deceive you, even if I wanted to deceive you, how could I curse you?" Aon..."

Although facing Hu Hai, from the corner of Zhao Ying's eyes, he has been paying attention to the expression of the First Emperor.He noticed that when Hu Hai mentioned the last sentence, Shi Huangdi's eyes clearly fluctuated, and he knew that Shi Huang probably believed Hu Hai's words in his heart.

As for him—

He was actually hesitating.

After all the evidence pointed to Hu Hai, he was hesitating, hesitating whether to take this opportunity to completely eliminate this trouble.

He knew that this was the best opportunity!
