Hearing Meng Fan's complaints, Wang Jian's expression was strange.
He didn't expect that His Majesty would believe this kid's words. Moreover, this kid was preparing to send the news of the sweet potatoes to Xianyang?
Could it be that what he said was true?
This grain called sweet potato, was it really four to five thousand catties per mu?
Otherwise, why would this kid swear to deliver this news to Xianyang and believe that His Majesty would confer him a title of nobility?
Great Qin would indeed be conferred a title of nobility because of its good farming, but it had to see to what extent.
Just as Wang Jian was feeling doubtful, Ying Zheng smiled and said,""In that case, I'll wait for a month for the sweet potatoes to mature. If there really is the yield that young friend mentioned, I'll definitely offer a hundred gold as compensation!”
"Moreover, I have some connections in Xianyang City. When the time comes, I will definitely be able to arrange for young friend to enter the official position.”Ying Zheng continued.
Hearing Ying Zheng's promise, Wang Jian's jaw dropped in shock.
Was His Majesty serious?
If the sweet potatoes in this kid's hands really had such a yield, his future would be limitless!
Meng Fan thought for a moment." Then you have to stay at my house for a month. Otherwise, if you run away, where will I find you?"”
Ying Zheng was stunned. This was the first time he had met someone who was afraid of running away in debt. He could not help but smile bitterly and said,""Then I'll have to trouble you for a month.”
"This…" Wang Jian cast a hesitant glance at Ying Zheng. They had just finished patrolling Longxi, and now that the world had just been settled, Ying Zheng still had a lot of things to do.
Wouldn't Xianyang be in chaos if they stayed with Meng Fan for a month?
But just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a look from Ying Zheng.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, sweet potatoes were undoubtedly more important than those things. Besides, there were still Li Si, Meng Yi, and other ministers in Xianyang, and these people were not just for show.
It was just a month's time, so it wouldn't matter if he went back later.
Besides, if something really happened, how could a commoner like Meng Fan stop the emperor?
As the two exchanged glances, Meng Fan spoke again.""Then let me say this first. You can stay at my house, but the food and accommodation fees will be calculated separately. These are not included in the compensation of 100 gold.”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
"..."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized that Meng Fan was more like a businessman than he was.
"Alright, alright, alright. We'll do as little friend says.”Ying Zheng nodded with a bitter smile. Ever since he ascended the throne of the King of Qin, this was the first time he had met a commoner who dared to speak to him in such a manner.
But Ying Zheng, who didn't want to expose his identity, had no choice. After all, his Ferghana Horse had indeed destroyed Meng Fan's crops.
However, he did not have any money on him at the moment…
A dignified emperor had destroyed the crops of the common people and still did not have the money to compensate. If this were to spread, wouldn't he be laughed at by the world?
And Ying Zheng really wanted to see with his own eyes if the sweet potato production was as Meng Fan had said.
Seeing Ying Zheng agree, Meng Fan nodded.""Follow me."
Pulling the reins, the Ferghana Stallion he had just knocked down had recovered. It lowered its head, clearly afraid of Meng Fan.
The BMW that Meng Fan was leading obediently followed behind him, not daring to act rashly.
Meng Fan also had his own plans. This horse didn't look like an ordinary horse. Even if the two ran away, he could sell the horse to make up for some losses.
If Ying Zheng knew what he was thinking, he might vomit blood.
The dignified emperor was always protected by people to run away from debts…
Seeing that Ying Zheng was already following behind Meng Fan, Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, then left a secret message on a tree branch before following.
Not long after, a few figures appeared on the spot.
"His Majesty and Old General Wang were indeed heading this way just now. Why did they disappear in an instant?”
"I don't know. That Ferghana Horse was given to Your Majesty by the Xiongnu. Could it be that the Xiongnu want to harm Your Majesty?”
"I don't think so. I think it's just that His Majesty is not good at riding horses…"
After a discussion, one of them suddenly pointed at a big tree by the roadside."Look, that seems to be the secret message left behind by Old General Wang!”
Everyone hurriedly looked over.
" There's no problem between me and His Majesty. We can follow the traces and come here. Don't come into close contact with him. Just protect him in secret…"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's report to the commander first…"
Under Meng Fan's lead, the three arrived at a village outside Yuzhi County.
This was the village where Meng Fan lived.
As a Soul Piercer, he had status.
The Meng family had moved out a branch to Beidi County a few years ago.
At first, it was to resist the Rong Di, but after the Rong Di were destroyed, this branch of the Meng family settled down here.
As the old Qin clan, the Meng clan had a very long history.
"Meng Fan, where did the two behind you come from?”As soon as they entered the village, an old man came forward with a walking stick and asked.
Meng Fan bowed to the old man and replied,""Elder, these two are merchants from Xianyang. We met on the road and I saw that we were fated, so I invited them to my house.”
He had concealed what had happened between him and Ying Zheng. A hundred gold coins was not a small sum, especially for a rural village.
Meng Fan understood the principle of not leaking money.
"So you're a guest from Xianyang, welcome.”Hearing this, the old man smiled and cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng and the other man.
Although he was already old, he had never seen Ying Zheng before. Naturally, he would not associate Ying Zheng, who was dressed like a merchant, with the current First Emperor.
