Chapter 55 Daqin, Climb the Tech Tree! (Please collect, please recommend!!!)
The eunuch was running out of breath, and apparently rushed over non-stop after learning the news.

"Xuan!" Li Shimin's old god was there, and he was sure of victory.

Seeing His Majesty's calm expression, all the officials below couldn't help but start to mutter.

"Could it be that this chicken and duck can really exterminate locusts?"

"Impossible, how can there be such absurd things in the world?"

"Your Majesty has a good face, I think it's just trying to hold on."

After a while, a eunuch led a person up.

This person is the lieutenant general beside Yuchi Jingde, he came all the way back, he didn't even take off his armor at this moment, and he was even more embarrassed.

His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red, which was caused by his journey in the starry night.

However, he was still full of energy, and his whole person seemed very excited.

The moment he saw Li Shimin, he couldn't hold back his excitement any longer. After saluting, he shouted angrily:
"Report to Your Majesty, General Yuchi led his ministers to the place where the locust plague was ravaged yesterday."

"After preliminary testing, the general ordered his ministers to release all the chickens and ducks."

"Those chickens and ducks, those chickens and ducks!"

The deputy general was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly, which made the ministers present anxious enough.

"What happened to those chickens and ducks, what do you mean?"

"Is it useful? What happened to the locust plague?"

Li Shimin was still not in a hurry. When he saw the expression of the lieutenant general, he knew that he had won.

"Don't worry, just speak slowly."

Li Shimin smiled gently and said in relief.

The voice of the deputy general became choked up again, and he said with a bit of tears:
"Your Majesty, those chickens and ducks have miraculous effects! General Yuchi chose a small field, and the locusts in it were eaten up to the very last!"

"General Yuchi asked your majesty to inform His Majesty that he is rearranging his troops, gathering chickens and ducks, and continuing to advance towards the pass!"

"I also ask your Majesty to issue an edict to collect more chickens and ducks, go to exterminate the locusts, and save the people in the pass!"

"Your Majesty, the Immortal is planning to save me Tang Wanmin!"

At the end, the man had a sore nose, and finally couldn't help but shed hot tears.

All the princes in the court, seeing this situation, are all moved.

It seems that the strategy of killing locusts with chickens and ducks is more effective than they imagined.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Is there anyone else who wants to doubt the ability of the immortal master?"

No one responded from His Highness, only Li Shimin's wild laughter echoed in the hall.

Those courtiers who were born in the gentry are like mourning concubines.

The other group of ministers also looked dignified.

It seems that the relationship between His Majesty and the gentry is finally going to be serious.

Only this time, with the help of the immortals, the gentry might have no chance of winning.

Today is going to change.

……

In another time and space, in another great country, amazing things are happening.

There is a small Zhuangzi outside Xianyang City, surrounded by Xuanwu guards.

In this small village, as far as the eye can see, all craftsmen are working.

Some people are boiling sundries such as bark, grass and leaves in a big pot, and pour something into it from time to time.

Some people use bamboo curtains to fish out a layer of white slurry in front of a pool.

Some people were shirtless, banging lumps of metal hard in front of the stove.

There are fields outside the village. Some people are plowing the land with strange tools, and some people are observing the tender seedlings that grow out.

……

This Zhuangzi is the "research and development base" ordered by Yingzheng.

All kinds of technologies that Jiang Sheng handed over to him were developed here.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was in a room, stroking the slightly rough paper in his hand, and kept sighing:

"The most important weapon of the country, the most important weapon of the country!"

Meng Yi also stood aside, reporting the latest progress:

"Your Majesty, this is the paper that was finally produced after many attempts."

"Although it is still not as good as the kind of paper used by the immortal master, it can already be used for writing and drawing."

"The ministers are still making the final deployment. If there is no accident, mass production will be possible in a month or so."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This skill must not be passed on, and I will use this paper to print and distribute banknotes."

"Here!" Meng Yi's face was moved, "The ministers naturally know the pros and cons of it, and will never let the craftsmen leave this place for half a step."

With banknotes, the fairy master's whimsical national policy can finally be tried.

"In addition, movable type printing is still under development."

Meng Yi waved his hand, and immediately someone brought out a box of cube-shaped objects with different characters engraved on it.

"Your Majesty, this is the first edition. I tried it, and it was amazing."

Meng Yi took out another piece of paper with an article printed squarely on it.

Ying Zheng picked up the paper and took a look at it. Some characters were not printed well, which made him frown slightly.

"Your Majesty." Meng Yi saw Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction, and quickly explained: "This ink and engraving still need to be improved, so that it can be printed like human handwriting."

"Well, as soon as possible." Ying Zheng's brows stretched, and he smiled again: "Meng Qing, you have worked hard these days, and I will give you this box of the first edition."

Meng Yi was overjoyed, this is what they have worked so hard to make these days.

For such a sharp weapon related to the fate of the country, the first edition must be dedicated to His Majesty and kept in the palace.

It is a great honor to be rewarded by Ying Zheng.

When I die in the future, this thing will be brought into the coffin!
"Okay, I'll go see something else."

Ying Zheng turned around and went out, walking towards the outside of the village.

Meng Yi followed closely behind Ying Zheng, saying as he walked:
"Your Majesty, through the joint efforts of Master Gongshu and the Mohist master, the artisans have now mastered the technology of iron smelting."

"The utensils made of iron are extremely hard and not easy to break. They are several times stronger than bronze utensils!"

"I ordered the craftsmen to make the curved plow made of iron, which is extremely efficient in cultivating land. One cow per person can plow eight acres a day!"

"Before, these farmers plowed no more than half an acre a day, but now they can't put it down!"

"There are also those potatoes, which are growing very gratifyingly. I think they will be able to harvest in two months!"

"For the rest of the seeds, I have already ordered people to reclaim a few plots of land and plant them."

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Ying Zheng was delighted to hear that, with the help of the immortal master, his Great Qin will surely be the most powerful empire in this land!
He looked to the north, where the Huns were.

The day the potatoes were harvested was the time when he raised his troops!

This time, Ying Zheng has one more important thing to do.

When he and Meng Yi walked out of Zhuangzi under the escort of a group of soldiers, Wang Ben and other generals had been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Ben clasped his hands, and his excitement could no longer be concealed: "The three-piece cavalry set passed down by the immortal master has been successfully built, please move forward, Your Majesty, I have already organized troops and horses!"

That's right, when Ying Zheng came over, the other thing was to watch a huge exercise.

Horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles, these three fetishes that make cavalry shine, finally came out with the help of iron smelting technology!
They will show their terrifying power to these ancient people of the Qin Dynasty in this exercise!
