" Really?" Ying Zheng suddenly stood up." Is it really effective?"”
Meng Yi quickly said," Many doctors believe that Shopkeeper Chu's wine is indeed effective. To be safe, I have also brought out a hundred prisoners to test it. Using Shopkeeper Chu's wine to wash wounds can indeed reduce the probability of gangrene. For the time being, we can't verify the plague and fever, but I believe it will also be effective!”
"Hahaha! God bless Great Qin, God bless Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng burst into laughter when he heard that. He was so excited that he could not help but stand up and pace back and forth in the study.
Meng Yi was in a good mood when he saw this. He handed over a wine gourd and said,"Your Majesty, the doctors have also analyzed this pot of wine. It also has the effect of preventing the plague, but other than medicinal use, the biggest feature of this pot of wine is its fragrance!”
Ying Zheng was delighted. He chuckled and said," My dear minister, you are so thoughtful. Come, drink a few cups with me!"”
Hearing that, Meng Yi immediately found two bronze wine cups and filled them with wine. Seeing Ying Zheng gulping down the wine in one gulp, Meng Yi followed suit and filled his own cup.
"Phew, good wine!" The two of them narrowed their eyes at the same time.
"Beloved Minister, do you think that Chu Han is the lucky star of Great Qin? With this wine, how many obstacles will our Great Qin have in the south?”Ying Zheng smacked his lips, still not satisfied.
Meng Yi cupped his hands and smiled." It's Your Majesty who has a discerning eye and knows how to use people well. That's why you were able to dig out the great sages in the countryside. So in the end, Your Majesty is still wise!"”
Ying Zheng laughed heartily again.
Compared to Qin Mu Gong and the other previous emperors, Qin Shi Huang's personal expeditions were pitifully few, but he had achieved countless times more glorious achievements than them.
Why?
Other than fighting for his life, the most important thing was that he knew how to use people well!
Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Li Si, Yao Jia, and the other top politicians and military strategists of the Warring States Period were all recruited by him, shining brightly for him.
Now, Chu Han had once again proved Ying Zheng's ability to judge people.
How could Ying Zheng not be happy?
He ordered the guards to call a group of civil and military officials over for a meeting, while Ying Zheng and Meng Yi drank one cup after another.
"Your Majesty, I'll fill it up for you."
"Your Majesty, I'll fill your cup again…"
Meng Yi was so attentive but also had selfish motives. If he didn't quickly finish drinking this kind of good wine, could it be that he was going to leave it for Wang Jian and the rest to snatch it?
By the time Wang Jian, Tu Ju, Li Si, and the others arrived, the gourd of wine had indeed been emptied by the two of them.
Smelling the rich wine fragrance in the royal study, Tu Ju could not help but gulp. Li Si, on the other hand, cast a dark glance at Meng Yi.
Having the palace maid remove the wine goblet, Ying Zheng sat on the throne and asked indifferently,""Have you thought of how to deal with the harsh climate and environment of Baiyue?”
Wang Jian cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, I once conquered Kuaiji and summarized some experiences and prescriptions for the land of River East. However, I have yet to verify whether it is effective for South Yue and other places.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jian placed the bamboo slip in his hand on Ying Zheng's desk.
Glancing at the bamboo slips handed over by Wang Jian, Ying Zheng asked expressionlessly,""Where are the others?"
The royal study was silent. The civil and military officials looked at each other, but no one spoke.
After all, everyone present was either from Old Qin or from the Six Nations. Who had ever been to Baiyue?
In the end, Tu Ju had no choice but to cup his hands and say,""Your Majesty, even mountains of blades and seas of flames cannot stop the iron hooves of Great Qin!”
"Ridiculous!" Ying Zheng shouted angrily. Do you want my people to use their flesh and blood to build victory? A bunch of useless people!"
Ying Zheng threw the bamboo slip in his hand onto Tu Ju's head, but Tu Ju did not dare to dodge at all and took the blow head-on.
Looking at the quiet courtiers, Ying Zheng's face was filled with disappointment.
In Ying Zheng's opinion, even if all the civil and military officials in the court could not develop the wine, they would at least think of some other ways.
But it had already been three days. Other than Wang Jian who had once summarized some of his experiences and submitted it, the others could not even think of a solution at all!
Could it be that all the officials in the royal court were no match for a countryside youth?
Li Si was indeed one of Ying Zheng's most trusted people. Seeing Ying Zheng's disappointed but not anxious expression, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He cupped his hands and smiled apologetically,""Does Your Majesty already have a plan?”
"Meng Yi." Ying Zheng snorted lightly.
"Your humble subject is here." Meng Yi cupped his hands and placed the wine gourd on the table.
Ying Zheng pointed at the row of wine pots in front of him and introduced them one by one,"" This wine can cure the plague, this wine can cure heatstroke and fever…"
That pretentious look of his had a bit of Chu Han's charm.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Tu Ju exclaimed,""There's actually such a magical wine in this world?”
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful! With this wine, why would the soldiers of Great Qin fear the dangers of the Baiyue Lands?”
"As expected of Your Majesty. We can't compare to you!”
"If I had this wine earlier, I wouldn't have sacrificed so many soldiers when I conquered Jiangdong! Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Listening to the crazy flattery of the civil and military officials, Ying Zheng could not help but smile slightly.
Lick!
Continue licking!
How comfortable!
He was Qin Shihuang, the emperor of this world. He had heard countless praises.
However, unlike those hypocritical flattery in the past, he could hear that the flattery of these officials today came from the heart!
This kind of sincere licking…was too satisfying!
All of this was because of the young shopkeeper in the restaurant.
Thinking of Chu Han's appearance, Ying Zheng suddenly felt that all the flattery he was trying to say had become dull.
Who knows how many more ingenious ideas that young man has?
Flicking his long sleeve, Ying Zheng shouted," The danger of the Hundred Yue State is no longer a problem. Now, you should re-formulate the plan for the southern expedition!”
"We obey!"
……
After instructing Tu Ju and the others to reformulate the strategy of the southern expedition, Ying Zheng left the royal study.
Meng Yi hesitated for a moment before chasing after Li Si.
"Your Majesty, do you need to rest?”
"Rest?" Ying Zheng snorted. I can't sleep at all because of these good-for-nothings. Meng Yi, change into casual clothes and follow me out of the palace.”
