Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 21 The Joy of Teasing Zulong

There was singing and dancing in the Qilin Palace.

Zulong sat high on the throne on the high platform in the middle of the hall. On the right side of the throne, he placed a table for Fusu to sit on, to show respect for Fusu's current status.

The civil and military ministers of Qin and the dozen or so high-level undead brought into the palace by Fusu sat on both sides, eating barbecue and pastries and enjoying the singing and dancing performances of the palace maids.

But in fact, all the civil officials, military generals, and high-level undead spirits focused their attention on Zulong and Fusu who were sitting high in the hall.

Watching the singing and dancing at this time, Zulong had no intention of appreciating it at all, but instead looked at Fusu.

Seeing Fusu watching with great interest, even beating his feet with his right hand, Zulong clenched his fists instantly, suppressed his anger, and asked with a smile: "Lich King, what is the matter with you coming to Qin this time?"

Hearing this, Fusu looked at Zulong and said with a smile: "Of course it's a friendly visit. Send some valuable gifts to Daqin!"

"Oh, what's the precious gift?" Hearing this, Zulong asked curiously. As he spoke, he waved his hand to let all the singers and dancers leave.

You, a rebellious son, have made me unhappy, and now you want to enjoy singing and dancing.

Fusu didn't care about Zulong's little thoughts. He smiled and said, "Of course it is something that is extremely beneficial to the Qin Dynasty. The first one is a farming tool called a curved plow. Compared with the straight plow of the Qin State that requires two oxen and three farmers to use normally, the curved plow I brought only needs one ox and one farmer to use it, and the efficiency of plowing the land is also higher."

"What?" Hearing Fusu's words, Zulong was shocked and sat up, looking at Fusu in disbelief.

All the civil and military officials in the room turned their attention and looked at Fusu expectantly.

What Fusu's words mean is that as long as they are true, the national strength of Qin will be more than doubled in all aspects.

Grain production will double, and Qin will be able to feed more people. With a larger population, Qin will have more labor and soldiers. More labor and soldiers means that everything Qin has to do will become easier.

Looking at Zulong who stood up in shock, Fusu said calmly: "This just saves twice the labor force. I still have grain seeds that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu!"

“The yield per acre is a thousand catties!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers in the court were excited, and some even stood up involuntarily and looked at Fusu expectantly.

A grain seed that can produce 1,000 catties per mu is definitely more practical than a curved plow. At present, the average yield per mu in Qin is less than 200 catties.

If what Fusu said was true, the curved plow combined with grain seeds that could produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu would be enough to make a qualitative leap in all aspects of the Qin State.

"One thousand catties per mu! Are you serious?" Zulong heard this and immediately stared at Fusu and asked. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to grab Fusu's collar and ask him questions.

If what Fusu said was true, then he would only need to slow down the war for two or three years and he could easily destroy the remaining five countries.

"Of course it's true, and there is more than one kind of grain that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, but..." Fusu looked confident, but stopped halfway through his words.

When Zulong heard the rest of the story halfway through, he became anxious and asked quickly, "But what?"

All the ministers also stared at Fusu closely.

"But~I don't want to take it out now!" Fusu said with a smile.

"What?" Upon hearing Fusu say this, Zulong's voice rose eight degrees, staring at Fusu with his eyes, wishing he could spit fire.

"This rebellious son is definitely trying to piss me off!"

Zulong cursed inwardly, but for the sake of the curved plow and the high-yield grain, he had to suppress his anger and asked Fusu kindly, "Oh? Why is that? Didn't you just say that these things were gifts for visiting?"

"Did I say that? No! I just said to give the curved plow as a gift, but it does not include high-yield grain seeds! You must have heard it wrong!" Facing Zulong's gaze, Fusu looked at Zulong with certainty.

Zulong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but for the sake of grain, he still smiled and said, "Oh, then my Qin State is willing to pay ten thousand gold coins to buy it!"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Fusu said with a smile: "Talking about money between us father and son will hurt our relationship. Let's not talk about money. Besides, I don't need money as a dead body!" 'You rebellious son, you still know that I am your father! '

Looking at the smiling Fusu, Zulong almost yelled these words.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "Oh, then what do you need? We are father and son, so we can exchange what we have with each other. As long as the grain you mentioned is real, we can discuss it."

"That's true, but I don't need anything!" Fusu said with a smile, and then he changed the subject and said directly: "I heard that a Korean painter presented a picture of the Four Seas as One to the Qin State, which is very magnificent. It just so happens that I recently sent out ten thousand undeads and spent four months to draw a picture. I named it the World Unified Picture. The name is very similar, but I don't know if it is actually similar. How about appreciating each other's works?"

"That's good!" Zulong nodded and instructed an eunuch, "Go and get the Four Seas United Map."

Speaking of this plan of uniting the four seas, Zulong was very satisfied. It was magnificent and grand, and it coincided with his ideals and the ideals of the Qin State for generations.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the eunuch immediately responded and was about to go down.

"Wait a minute!" Fusu spoke up at this time. He smiled and said, "My painting is quite large and cannot be spread out in this hall. It is better to spread it out in the square outside the hall so that everyone can observe it carefully."

"Okay, then go get the map and unfold it outside the hall." Zulong said immediately.

"Sang Biao, go and get my World Unification Map." Fusu immediately ordered Sang Biao.

~~~
"Your Majesty, the map of the Four Seas Uniting as One has been retrieved. It is outside the palace!"

After a while, the eunuch who had gone out came back to report.

"Okay, my dear ministers, let's go and enjoy it together." Zulong said immediately after hearing this, and stood up and walked out of the hall first.

After leaving the Qilin Hall, I saw several eunuchs waiting outside the hall with a four-meter-long scroll.

"Show the map!" Zulong ordered immediately.

"Show the map!" Zhao Gao shouted loudly beside him.

The four eunuchs immediately placed the scroll on the ground and then slowly spread it out.

Looking at the Four Seas United Map spread out on the ground, Zulong said happily: "Lich King, this is the Four Seas United Map, what do you think?"

Zulong was still very confident about the grandeur of this map of the four seas being united as one. This was a map that covered the seven kingdoms in the Central Plains. He didn't believe that Fusu could come up with a map more grand than this.

"It is indeed magnificent and vast!" Looking at the map of the four seas united as one on the ground, Fusu immediately smiled.

"Haha! I am also very satisfied with this map." Zulong laughed, then changed the subject and said, "You just said that your world unification map is very similar to my four seas unification map. I guess it must be very grand as well!"

"I'm not very satisfied with my map! Mainly because it's too big and difficult to carry. Look!" Fusu said with a smile, pointing his hand to the east.

From the direction of the eastern palace gate, twenty undead cavalrymen were seen coming on horseback, pulling a huge piece of animal skin behind the horses.

When Zulong saw that the animal skin was very huge when folded, his face suddenly changed, knowing that he was about to make a fool of himself.

"This rebellious son!"

Cursing inwardly, Zulong immediately said, "Hahaha, to be honest, we haven't had enough fun with the singing and dancing just now. Let's go in and enjoy the singing and dancing!"

"Alas!" Fusu sighed upon seeing this and said, "I came here with the map out of kindness, but since Zulong is so disrespectful to me, the Lich King, the 1.2 million undead outside Yiqu Pass will surely be very angry!"
