My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1001 He is just an immortal from Penglai, what does he know about Penglai! That immortal fate is all my fault!
Ying Zheng's breathing quickened: "Penglai actually exists!"

Penglai!

For hundreds of years, whenever someone had a good chat with Zheng Anqi, Zheng Anqi would leave a message saying "Go to Penglai to find my destiny" and then say goodbye.

The destined person will work hard and give everything to find Penglai, and Zheng Anqi will disappear from the human world and wait on the Penglai Island for decades or even nearly a hundred years before returning to the human world again.

Obviously both parties are full of sincerity, but till now not even one destined person has been able to reach Penglai and receive the immortal fate granted by Zheng Anqi on Penglai Fairy Island.

As the number of people with predestined relationships increases, the name of Penglai has been heard by more and more people. Because of Zheng Anqi who lived there, the island has become full of mystery and is known as one of the three immortal islands overseas!

Ying Zheng, who had been searching for immortals for many years, had naturally heard of the name of Penglai Island a long time ago.

As Zheng Anqi entered Qin and Ying Chengjiao explained Zheng Anqi's abilities in detail, Ying Zheng no longer had any expectations for Penglai Island.

But now! Ying Chengjiao said he wanted to build a big ship to go to Penglai!

The extinguished desire rose up again and quickly expanded like a raging fire!

Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Ying Chengjiao's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a mischievous smile: "That's right!"

"Not only does Penglai really exist, but there is no elixir yet!"

Ying Zheng's heart was beating wildly, and his breathing became hot: "Penglai really exists, and it hasn't even existed yet ⊙０⊙"

Ying Zheng: "No [_?]"

Ying Zheng: "There is no elixir (°°)"

Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he stood there in a daze.

Two breaths later, Ying Zheng turned to Ying Chengjiao with a somewhat stiff neck, and saw Ying Chengjiao looking at him with a half-smile.

Ying Zheng's originally hot heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and it cooled down instantly!

Ying Zheng lowered his voice helplessly and said: "Brother, you no longer have the desire to seek immortals or gods, why do you tease me, my brother?"

Don’t I have any respect?

After all, I am the king of the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Chengjiao crossed his arms and laughed in a low voice: "When have I ever teased you, brother?"

"Penglai really does exist. I never joked."

"There is indeed no elixir in Penglai, and I am not joking."

"Brother, did you have any other fantasies just now?"

Ying Zheng glared at Ying Chengjiao and said, "Brother, you really mistakenly thought that I built a big ship to go to Penglai to look for the elixir of life."

"Since my brother said that there is no elixir in Penglai, why did you spend so much energy?!"

The reason why I have such fantasies is because of you, bastard!
Not only do we have to build a big ship, but we also have to go to Penglai. How can I not have fantasies!

Ying Chengjiao said softly: "Although Penglai does not have elixirs, it has crops that are of great benefit to Daqin."

"If one of these crops can adapt to the Feng Shui of our Great Qin, it will be finer, softer, and warmer than hemp. Moreover, the yield of this crop is several times that of hemp. In places where hemp cannot take root, this crop can survive."

The ministers in the distance could not hear clearly what Ying Chengjiao said.

But the four people who were closer, Lu Buwei, Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and Ying Fusu, all heard Ying Chengjiao's whispers.

For a moment, the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the pig pen, and it even made the stench in the pig pen become a little lighter.

Ying Chengjiao continued, "Penglai has another crop."

"This thing is like tung nuts. When it matures, you can squeeze out oil."

"But unlike tung nuts, the oil extracted from this is edible!"

Wei Liao's eyes were filled with greed, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Can this oil be eaten?"

“Edible like grease?!”

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "It's edible!"

"It's just that its effect on fat people is slightly inferior to that of fat ointment."

Never mind the nutritional value or the taste; none of that matters.

It’s oil! It’s edible! That’s the most important thing!

Lü Buwei's pupils were dilated, and he had forgotten that he was eavesdropping on the whispers of Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao. He also ignored the fact that eavesdropping on the king's whispers was not only rude but also a serious crime. He actually cried out in disbelief: "Even if it is slightly inferior to grease, this oil is still oil!"

"One thing can relieve the suffering of freezing cold."

"One thing can relieve the worry of hunger."

"If the people are good, they are our friends; if they are not good, they are our enemies!"

"If our Great Qin can treat the people well and make them live and work in peace and contentment, why worry that the Great Qin cannot last for ten thousand years!"

Lu Buwei always supported treating the people of Guizhou well, and in Lu Buwei's view, the people of Guizhou did not ask for much.

As long as they have enough food and water and are not cold, the people will not rebel, but will even spontaneously support and protect the Qin Dynasty!
As long as he could make the people loyal to the Great Qin, and then control the officials and suppress their space to coerce the people to rebel, Lu Buwei could not even think of any reason why the Great Qin could not be passed down for eternity!
The fire in Ying Zheng's heart that had just been extinguished by Ying Chengjiao rose again, and he excitedly shouted: "Although this herb is not an elixir, it can benefit our Great Qin more than an elixir!"

"If I could obtain these two magical herbs, I wouldn't need elixirs to achieve immortality!"

If he had to choose between the magic herb that benefits the people and the magic elixir that benefits himself, Ying Zheng would choose the former without hesitation.

If the Qin Dynasty could unify the world, bring peace and prosperity to all people during Ying Zheng's lifetime, Ying Zheng would not even have any motivation to pursue immortality!
Ying Chengjiao continued in a slightly bewitching voice: "These are just two kinds of immortal herbs from Penglai."

"As far as I know, there are many magical herbs on Penglai Island that can greatly benefit our Great Qin, and there are also pigs that can breed with the rich and powerful pigs to help them grow fatter." "I don't know if you are tempted, but I am indeed tempted."

"That's why I want to build a big ship and go to Penglai!"

Two pillars of fire seemed to spew out of Ying Zheng's nostril, just like a bull seeing a red cloth!

But Lu Buwei was still trying his best to stay calm, and asked with a trembling voice: "I have heard of the name of Penglai Fairy Island for a long time, but I have never heard that Penglai Fairy Island has the fairy grass that Chang'an Jun mentioned."

"When Zheng Xian entered Qin, I also asked about Penglai."

"Zheng Xian only said that Penglai has immortal dates, immortal pills, the formation of immortality, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he never said that Penglai also has such a great benefit to the people of immortal grass!"

Ying Chengjiao glanced at Lu Buwei speechlessly.

It would be fine if you just eavesdropped, but you dare to jump out and expose me?

The Penglai mentioned by Zheng Anqi is Japan.

Let’s not talk about whether Zheng Anqi and his ancestors had ever arrived in Japan. Even if Zheng Anqi’s ancestors had really arrived in Japan, what treasures could there be in that rotten place?

A pony that is convenient for children to practice riding? !

But the Penglai I am talking about is actually Tianzhu, which is also called Sindhu by Zhang Qian!
Zheng Anqi is just an immortal from Penglai. What does he know about Penglai?
Only I know where Zheng Anqi’s immortal palace is!
Wherever I say Penglai is, that is Penglai. Wherever I say the scope of Penglai is, that is Penglai. Wherever I say the immortal palace of Zheng Anqi is, that is Zheng Anqi's immortal palace.

After I discover Penglai, I can then define the locations of Fangzhang and Yingzhou.

Otherwise, I would have been a great wizard in vain!

Ying Chengjiao patiently explained: "I will tell Zheng Xian about this today."

"Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will ask Zheng Xian again, and Zheng Xian will definitely tell me in detail about the various crops on Penglai Island!"

Lu Buwei:...

You are teasing a fool!!!

Lü Buwei sighed and said, "I am indeed not very smart."

"If even Zheng Xian can travel around Penglai, how can Chang'an Jun not know anything about Penglai!"

"I'm afraid Zheng Xian can only wander around the edge of Penglai, while Chang'an Jun can stroll leisurely in the garden of Penglai."

"In this case, Chang'an Jun will naturally know Penglai better than Zheng Xian!"

Seeing that Lü Buwei's thoughts were beginning to develop in a strange direction, Ying Chengjiao did not respond, but looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Allow money, food, craftsmen, and wood to help me build a fleet of giant ships to go out to sea and search for Penglai as my reward."

"What do you think, brother?"

Ying Zheng said in a heavy voice: "No!"

"Going to Penglai to seek the immortal fate is a move that will greatly benefit the Qin Dynasty and the country."

"My brother is willing to take on this responsibility, which is a great achievement. How can you regard this position as a reward?!"

"I will add another rich land near the sea as your fief, and let you build a huge ship."

"No matter what the cost! We must find the magical herb as soon as possible to help our Great Qin!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng had already begun to think about which coastal city to allocate to Ying Chengjiao as a fief.

Lu Buwei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! No!"

"In today's Qin, it is better to be still than to move!"

"Whether it's wasting manpower and resources to build ships or really finding the magic herb, it will do more harm than good to the current Qin Dynasty!"

Lu Buwei was also jealous of the crops described by Ying Chengjiao, even more jealous than Ying Zheng!
But now is really not the right time!

If those crops really come to Daqin, it will only make the situation in Daqin even more chaotic!
Ying Chengjiao shook his head and explained, "The Prime Minister is worrying too much."

"I think the time spent searching for the magic herb is even longer than that spent on curing the pigs."

"If you can find the immortal herb and return to Daqin within ten years, I will be grateful to God for blessing Daqin."

"After we find the immortal herb and return, our Great Qin will need to spend at least several years cultivating it before it can be truly used by the Great Qin."

Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief.

A rough calculation shows that it took more than ten years for those crops to arrive in Daqin.

With Ying Zheng in charge, Lu Buwei planning, and Ying Chengjiao checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps, ten or twenty years should be enough for the Qin Dynasty to digest the skyrocketing territory and productivity and prepare for the next round of productivity surge.

Lü Buwei was not worried, but instead bowed and said, "Since this is the case, I will follow Lord Chang'an's advice!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "It is for this reason that building a huge ship to go out to sea to search for Penglai cannot be considered my duty, nor can it be considered my merit."

"Brother, have you ever thought about how people in the world would feel if you spent so much manpower, money, food, and wood just to help me go to sea to find Penglai?"

Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "People in the world will think that my brother will no longer hide and present the map of the fairy island to the Qin Dynasty. As long as the giant ship returns triumphantly, the Qin Dynasty will be able to obtain the fairy fate."

"Therefore, before my Great Qin fleet sets out to sea, many people will definitely try every possible means to find out where Penglai is, and rush out to sea before my brother's fleet sets out to sea, in order to seize the immortal fate of my Great Qin!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Oh my! Oh my! That magical herb is mine! That magical fate is also mine!

Anyone who dares to compete with our Great Qin for the chance to become an immortal shall be killed!
