Meng Yi's breathing hastened. This was undoubtedly great news for the current Qin Dynasty.
Coincidentally, there was a great drought a few months ago, and the granary was empty.
In addition, a few days ago, the border sent a quick report that they needed food supplies, making things even worse.
The seemingly glorious and prosperous dynasty was already in danger. This was also one of the reasons why Qin II died.
"Hehe, Old Wang, are you surprised? Let me show you something good."
Ye Tian's mouth cracked into a mischievous smile, ignoring the delicacies on the table. He walked quickly, crouched down, dug up the soil, and placed two sweet potatoes on the table.
"This thing…can also produce 5,000 catties per mu?”Wang Li's voice was trembling.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The skin of the thing was red. When it was split into two halves, the meat inside was white.
He had never seen it before.
"I've never heard of it before." Meng Yi bitterly smiled and shook his head.
What they saw and heard had already exceeded the scope of their knowledge.
"Naturally."
Ye Tian smiled faintly. There were no agricultural chemicals in ancient times, so there should be some differences from Earth, but not too much.
Qin Shihuang laughed, and he laughed so happily.
It was as though he could already see the tens of millions of Qin Clan soldiers conquering the world.
He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It seemed to be more precious than the luminous pearl.
"Back then, during the Battle of Changping, General Baiqi destroyed the State of Zhao. There was a plan behind it, but the food was the most important.”
"Young Master Fu Sheng and General Meng Tian are guarding the border, so food is naturally necessary.”
"Back then, when we united to destroy the six countries, the reason was because our Qin country had strong troops and fertile land.”
Wang Li's eyes lit up; this was great news for Great Qin's army.
He couldn't wait to tell his grandfather about this matter.
The old general's lifelong wish was to lead Great Qin's army to conquer the world.
Unfortunately, he was restricted by the rations. Now, all of this was no longer a problem.
"Old Wang, do you now believe why I dared to say that I would destroy the Xiongnu in three years?”Ye Tian's smile grew wider, looking forward to this day as well. "You'll see the answer in a month.”
"I'll be waiting for you. Haha, Brother Ye, once this is done, you'll be a great contributor to all of Great Qin's people.”
The more he looked at Ye Tian, the more he liked him. He was indeed a talent.
With an endless supply of food, they could truly conquer the world.
There would be no more worries.
Ye Tian smiled wickedly. This Old Wang was still so stupid. Did he think it was that simple?
He believed in subduing the enemy without fighting and seizing the world without bloodshed.
There were still a lot of vicious schemes in his mind that he had not used yet. What was this?
"Old Wang, since you've said so much, I have another plan. Do you want to hear it? This plan could help the First Emperor become famous in the world!”
He had already started to act tough, and he couldn't stop for a while. The addiction had also started…
As soon as he finished speaking, before Wang Li could react, Meng Yi and Qin Shihuang slammed the table and stood up, almost flipping it over. They looked at him with bright eyes.
He remembered the last time Ye Tian had spoken like this, he had given him the Token of Grace.
This time…
"Brother Ye, tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense.”
Meng Yi only felt a hundred claws scratching at his heart. He took out a few strings of money and generously placed them on the table.
They had served the Qin Dynasty for generations, so the Order of Grace had no effect on the Meng family.
Thus, even though Ye Tian had come up with this plan, he didn't feel any resentment.
"Sigh, I originally planned to personally offer this to His Majesty. Forget it, I'll let you guys have it today.”Ye Tian's eyes began to glow.
"You should still remember the matter of His Majesty burning books and burying scholars a few years ago, right?”
Meng Yi narrowed his eyes. No one had dared to mention this matter for many years. He glanced at Qin Shihuang and only let out a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no big reaction.
"This method is a blockage. It can't solve the problem from the source. Since the scholarly faction exists, then there is a reason for its existence.”
"For example, ever since the crusade against the Bai Yue ended, some of the soldiers of my Qin Dynasty have begun to slack off. Brother Wang, you've been in the barracks all year round, so you should have investigated, right?”Ye Tian turned to Wang Li.
Wang Li was stunned at first, but after pondering for a moment, he nodded.
He didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.
The rations could no longer allow them to fight further. Knowing that there was no war to fight, and that they had completed the unification, the soldiers naturally wanted to retire.
He had once discussed this matter with the old general Wang Jian, but there was nothing he could do.
"This is the same principle. In my eyes, the scholarly faction is a whetstone. Not only do we not need to kill them, but we should also vigorously promote them.”
Ye Tian smiled. There were always two sides to everything.
The Confucianists were indeed too mediocre and liked to fool people, but who could say that they were useless?
Ye Tian came from the modern era and knew that Confucianism had existed for thousands of years and was extraordinary.
"Brother Ye, please elaborate." Qin Shihuang's brows gradually furrowed as he felt as if he had caught onto something. For a moment, he could not figure it out. It was like looking at flowers in a fog, making his heart feel uncomfortable.
