West of Xianyang, by the Wei River.
Huaili County.
The place where Li Xin was born and grew up.
Today, he came here alone on a warhorse.
In front of him, he had already gone to pay his respects to the soldiers in other places.
This was the only place he dared not face.
His family and clansmen all lived here.
He was the only one who had been in Xianyang for the past few years.
Ever since the defeat of the Chu army, this was the place he didn't dare to return to.
He didn't dare to see those who sent his son away.
In the end, because of his arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, all the villagers were killed on the battlefield.
Even if everyone said that it was not his fault, but the rebellion of Lord Chang Ping.
If not, he would definitely be able to destroy Chu!
However, Li Xin still couldn't get past the barrier in his heart.
If he hadn't been arrogant and arrogant back then and had learned from Wang Jian, using 600,000 people and being cautious, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such a tragic outcome.
Today, until now, looking at the distant Huai Li City wall, Li Xin was still the same.
The once brave and courageous general stopped at the border of Huaili County, not daring to take a single step forward.
"Minister Zhang, I still can't do it.”
His grip on the reins tightened.
From Xianyang to here, it was almost noon. From the scorching sun to the west.
The general on the horse was like a statue.
Towards the end, he seemed to have made up his mind.
Li Xin got off the horse, holding the reins with one hand, and slowly walked forward.
Every step he took felt like he was dragging a huge rock weighing ten thousand pounds.
The closer he got, the more panicked and guilty he felt.
Finally, when they were about to reach the city wall.
A few urchins crawled out of the bushes and prepared to go home.
Although there was some dirt on her face, it was filled with the aftertaste of having fun.
But when they saw Li Xin, they were shocked.
Then, he sized her up again.
"Are you Li Xin?"
Facing these pairs of clear black and white eyes filled with innocence, Li Xin did not dare to admit it.
Were these their descendants?
"I…I…I am…"
In the next moment, these children turned around and ran.
Seeing this, Li Xin raised his hand and wanted to reach out to them.
The courage that had gathered in his heart as he walked earlier began to crumble again.
He felt that he was getting further and further away from the front.
But just as Li Xin put down his hand.
The few children jumped a few times, then ran and jumped, extremely excited.
"General Li Xin is finally back!”
"General Li Xin is finally back!”
Inside, many people had already been attracted by the shouts of these children and hurriedly ran out to see what was going on.
Li Xin heard it and laughed silently.
Then, he adjusted his armor, held the reins with one hand, and held the sword hilt at his waist with the other.
He walked resolutely into Huai Li City.
She tried her best to suppress her emotions, but her eyes were still red.
"Sorry, Li Xin came back late.”
……
……
At the same time, in Zhangtai Palace.
Zhang Luo went to see Ying Zheng.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Zhang Qing, please rise." Ying Zheng chuckled." It's already the time of the night, and you're still here to see me?”
On the side, Feng Quji and Meng Yi were also there.
Hearing this, they all smiled.
Feng Quji was reporting on the political affairs and the progress of the compilation of the classics of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
Meng Yi, on the other hand, was reporting on the various developments of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
Also, during this period of time, they caught the traitors.
Zhang Luo chuckled." Your Majesty, I came here to show you two things.”
"Hmm? What is it?"
Ying Zheng saw that Zhang Luo was not here for national affairs, so he temporarily dealt with his affairs.
As he said that, Ying Zheng looked at the two bags in Zhang Luo's hands, one big and one small.
Zhang Luo took out a sweet potato." Your Majesty, please take a look."”
Zhao Gao wanted to take it, but Meng Yi snatched it away.
"Hmm…it looks like some kind of fruit?”
Ying Zheng took it and started reading it.
Zhang Luo nodded." Your Majesty, this is called a sweet potato. It's very easy to grow. I came across it by chance. Fortunately, I recognize it."”
"Oh? Sweet potatoes?"
Ying Zheng looked around and found that it was indeed edible.
If it was easy to plant, it was fine to plant more.
"Hehe, the yield per mu is 5000 catties. If we preserve it well, it can be stored for about a year.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Pa da…da…
The sweet potato in Ying Zheng's hand fell off, rolling down the steps one by one.
It rolled down a few steps before stopping.
Ying Zheng raised his head in surprise.
"Zhang Qing, what did you just say?"
"Your Majesty, I said that the yield of this plant is five thousand catties per mu.”
Feng Quji's hands trembled. He knew that Zhang Luo wouldn't joke about this, but he still couldn't believe it.
"Minister Zhang, don't exaggerate.”
"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration." Zhang Luo shook his head.
However, even Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, did not believe this.
Zhang Luo smiled." Your Majesty, before I came here, I've already planted some vines. There's also a bag of sweet potatoes here. Your Majesty, you can cook them today.”
Meng Yi picked up a sweet potato that had rolled to the side and said," If that's the case, Great Qin will no longer have to worry about food in the future!”
After a moment of doubt, Feng Quji decided to trust Zhang Luo.
"If that's the case, you still need to protect it like a piece of paper.”
"With such a high production, if those people who rebelled against Qin and the remnants of the six countries obtained it, it would be troublesome.”
Then they would have solved the food problem.
Meng Yi was about to nod.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng stood up, his loose imperial robe sweeping across the steps.
After walking down, he reached out and took the sweet potato from Meng Yi's hand.
"There's no need. If this thing is really as Zhang Qing said, Great Qin will immediately nurture it and then distribute it to all the counties in the world to benefit the people.”
"As for those traitors…"
Ying Zheng took out the Heaven Asking Sword from his waist.
It was bright and eerie.
"If anyone dares to move, I will kill them with the Qin Sword!”
