"Potato? What was this? Why haven't we heard of it before?"
"Why did His Majesty ask us to plant this thing?”
"What if the harvest isn't good? What if there was a crop failure in the end? There wasn't enough food to begin with!"
The group of commoners discussed animatedly, their faces filled with dissatisfaction.
Their eyes were filled with fatigue, and only a few of the old Qin people had firm expressions in their eyes.
However, there were only a few who supported Ying Zheng. After all, this was Shangyang County, not the original Qin State. These people were still ruled by the nobles of the six dynasties.
Even the county governors were from the six states.
As such, they did not feel that much of a sense of belonging to Great Qin.
In the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
County Governor Zhang Yang raised the wine cup in his hand and took a sip. Then, he chuckled softly.
"Now that Ying Zheng is fighting with the clans of the Qin State, it is a good time for our Qi State to fish in troubled waters.”
He raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky in the sky. He was in a very good mood.
"Those clans have given us quite a lot of things.”
"I can't wait for you to beat your dog brains out.”
Zhang Yang hummed a little tune and walked out step by step.
......
Xianyang
It was the same scene, but it produced a different result.
When the people of Xianyang City, or rather, all the people of the former Qin State, heard this imperial edict, their first reaction was not to question it, but to find someone to collect the potato seeds.
They swore their loyalty to Great Qin and would forever be Great Qin's strongest support!
The elders supported themselves with wooden sticks in their hands and let their descendants collect potato seeds. The entire Xianyang City instantly became a paradise for planting.
In the Palace of Xianyang
Ying Zheng was sitting there, with Dun Ruo standing in front of him.
Dun Ruo was currently reporting to Ying Zheng about Great Qin's movements. In just three short days, all of Great Qin's regions had obtained potato seeds.
Everyone began to plant potatoes, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
"Oh?"
" Those clans didn't respond?"
Dunruo hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth,"Your Majesty, the clan has yet to take action.”
"However, this subject always feels that something is wrong. It seems to be too peaceful.”
"It shouldn't be so peaceful.”
Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand and pressed his shoulder, a gentle smile on his face.
"Shouldn't it be this peaceful?"
"You are wrong."
"This is not peace, but the calm before the storm.”
"Just you wait. Before tomorrow, someone will definitely not be able to hold back and make a move. Moreover, once they make a move, it will definitely not be a small matter.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng still walked out with a cold look on his face.
"However, this world is ultimately mine.”
Dun Ruo stood behind Ying Zheng with a respectful look on his face, not saying a word.
fengfu
Feng Quji and a few clan leaders were sitting in the courtyard. Tonight was the time for them to start their plan.
This plan was related to whether they could successfully resist.
Only Feng Shen had a helpless expression on his face. He felt that his father was already possessed.
How could His Majesty grow things so casually?
"Father, if His Majesty had not experimented before, how could he have allowed the world to plant it?”
"Why do we have to do these things?”
Feng Quji's expression was gloomy. On the contrary, when Bai clan leader heard this, he was stunned for a moment before suddenly laughing.
"Hahahaha, Feng Gong, I didn't expect you to have such an innocent son.”
"Does he still think that we don't know that potatoes are a good thing?”
"Are we really rebelling for the potatoes, Your Majesty?”
The Bai Clan Leader was about to laugh his teeth out. How could an old fox like Feng Quji give birth to such a son?
He guessed maliciously. Was Feng Shen not Feng Quji's child?
Hearing Feng Shen's words, Feng Quji's face darkened even more. He glared at his son and sighed helplessly.
What else could he do?
After all, he was her son.
"How could we not know that His Majesty is telling the truth?" he could only explain.”
"We are not rebelling against Your Majesty because of the potato. We just want Your Majesty to know our attitude, the attitude of a clan.”
His attitude?
Feng Shen was stunned again. What was going on?
Why didn't he understand anything?
Feng Quji looked at Feng Shen in disappointment."Do you think that His Majesty had directly ordered this matter to be carried out by the world without telling us first?”
"What does this mean for the clan?”
Feng Shen's face was filled with naivety. He really didn't understand what this meant.
Feng Quji sneered and raised his head to look in the direction of Xianyang Palace.
"In the past, no matter what, His Majesty would have told us first and let us discuss it.”
"But now that we have skipped this part, His Majesty is testing us!”
