In a month, millions of people worked day and night, and the altar outside Xianyang City was already built.
This altar was extremely huge. Just its height alone was a hundred meters! From afar, the altar looked like a giant triangle.
The bottom of the altar was square, but the four sides of the altar were slopes. The slope was covered with countless stairs, and there were railings around the stairs. On the railings were countless rare and strange beasts that only existed in myths and legends.
At the top of the altar was a platform, and in the middle of the platform was a statue of a god that was nearly ten meters tall. At the feet of the statue, there were three animals and five grains.
Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the altar will be completed in two days. Would Your Majesty like to go and inspect it?”
Beside Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao bent his head and reported to Ying Zheng. If it was before, Zhao Gao would still use his peripheral vision to observe Ying Zheng's reaction.
However, ever since Ying Zheng became younger, Zhao Gao's respect for Ying Zheng had reached an extreme.
"Is it almost done?”
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng's expression did not change in the slightest. He paid attention to the progress of the altar every day.
After all, this altar was related to his path to becoming an immortal.
"A few days ago, I asked you to inform everyone near Xianyang City to attend this sacrificial ceremony. Tell me, how many people will attend this sacrificial ceremony?”
Ying Zheng said slowly. Since Great Immortal Zhen Yuan Zi wanted to believe in him, then he, Ying Zheng, would bring the people of several cities to worship him.
Ying Zheng believed that Zhenyuanzi would be satisfied with such a large-scale sacrifice.
"Excluding the commoners, there are only about 1.2 million people in the cities around Xianyang City.”
"Your Majesty, you ordered everyone to attend this sacrificial ceremony. I believe they will all be present.”
"According to this servant, there are more than two million people…"
Zhao Gao reported his work to Ying Zheng honestly, but there was one thing he did not dare to say to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng's grand construction of the wonder had already caused dissatisfaction among the people.
It was said that there were two million people, but when the sacrificial ceremony began, the number might even decrease…
"Two million people?"
Hearing this number, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"What have those ministers been talking about me recently?”
Ying Zheng changed the topic. Of course, he knew that the world would be in an uproar if he were to create a spectacle. However, he did not care!
So what if the world rebelled?
If the world rebelled, it would just be him, Ying Zheng, leading Old Qin to unify the world once again! As long as Ying Zheng was alive, this world would forever belong to Great Qin!
" The civil officials led by Sir Li Si didn't dare to speak up in court, but they said behind your back that Your Majesty's actions would be unpopular…"
Zhao Gao's majestic voice was unpopular? No, what Li Si and the others were talking about was that Ying Zheng's current behavior was comparable to that of the ancient Xia Jie and Shang Zhou!
But how could he dare to tell Ying Zheng these words?
"Unpopular?"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, his tone extremely cold.
"What a good word! More than a month ago, I had a conversation with the immortal in the Great Void Palace. The immortal gave me an immortal seed.”
"In the past one and a half months, those ministers haven't seen the results of the immortal seed? The potatoes and immortal rice were not ripe yet. However, that amount of production was enough to fill the stomachs of the world!”
"This achievement of mine has truly surpassed Shennong of the Three Sovereigns! With such achievements, they said that I am not popular?”
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with suppressed anger. Of course, he knew why those ministers did not dare to talk about him in the imperial court. After all, the burning of books and burying of scholars had only happened a few years ago. How dare these ministers oppose Ying Zheng?
Did they really think that they were not afraid of death?
As for those immortal seeds, they were in fact the products that Ying Zheng exchanged with Ye Fan in the Myriad World Chat Group with gold.
In order to make this sacrificial ceremony a success, Ying Zheng had already started to have people train them more than a month ago.
And the potatoes and hybrid rice did not disappoint Ying Zheng. Even though it had only been a month and a half, everyone could see what these crops meant to Great Qin.
He said rudely. With these crops, in just ten years, Great Qin's population would increase by several times.
Especially when Ying Zheng was still working out a policy to encourage childbirth!
"Forget it. We'll deal with these civil officials after the ceremony. How's the army's response?"
Ying Zheng did not pay too much attention to those civil officials, as Great Qin was suppressing the world with its military might. Ying Zheng's power was given to him by the millions of old Qin people who stood behind him.
"Everything in the army has been settled. All the discontented voices of Great General Meng Tian have been suppressed. This time, he would maintain order according to His Majesty's request.”
Zhao Gao dared not hide it from Ying Zheng.
"Very good. Pass down the order for Great General Meng Tian to come see me. At the same time, tell those civil officials that I will lead my empire to worship the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan Zi tomorrow!”
"Those civil officials, if there's a single one who didn't participate in this ceremony, kill them all!”
Killing intent was brewing in Ying Zheng's eyes. It had been ten years since he had killed anyone on a large scale. Did he really think that he, Ying Zheng, was so old that he could no longer lift his saber?
"The ceremony will be held tomorrow?"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao involuntarily raised his head. His voice was filled with surprise. He could not understand why Yi Ying Zheng was so anxious.
"Yes, tomorrow!"
Ying Zheng threw a glance at Zhao Gao and said in an unquestionable tone.
