After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Wang Ben said,""Young Master, His Majesty has just been assassinated and the situation in the city is still unstable. Why don't we go again in a few days?”
"It's precisely because Imperial Father has just been assassinated that it's safest to go now."”
"Then do you want to bring someone along?"
Ying Yun said," There's no need. If there are too many people, it will attract the attention of the remnants of the Six Nations."”
"Alright, I'll go get the horse."
Soon, the two of them left Xianyang on their horses and headed toward Liquan County.
Just as the two of them were heading toward Liquan County.
The black-robed man who had escaped earlier arrived at a forest outside the city with the help of another black-robed man.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The black-robed man tore off the black mask on his face, revealing a delicate face.
This person was none other than Zhang Liang.
In order to assassinate Ying Zheng, he had sneaked into Xianyang City after he had finished watching Ying Yun's block and tackle, ready to find an opportunity to make his move.
Who knew that in the end, not only did the assassination fail, but one of his arms was also chopped off by Ying Yun.
"I'm not dead yet. Let's see if there are any pursuers chasing after us.”
The burly man looked behind him and said,"No, I haven't."
" What a pity," Zhang Liang sighed." We almost killed Ying Zheng, but we failed at the last step."”
Looking at his broken arm, Zhang Liang said,""He failed two times in a row. Now that one of his arms has been cut off by Ying Yun, it will be even more difficult to kill him in the future.”
"Sir, it's better to quickly find a place to recuperate."”
"We can't stay here. Let's go somewhere else."”
"Alright, sir. I'll carry you."
Immediately, the brawny man carried Zhang Liang and fled from Xianyang.
Four hours later.
Liquan County.
Ying Yun and Wang Ben arrived.
After learning that Ying Yun had arrived, the county magistrate of Li Quan immediately came out to welcome him.
"Greetings, Young Master."
"How's the food now?" Ying Yun asked.”
" Everything has been planted according to Young Master's instructions," the county magistrate of Liquan County said." It seems to have borne fruit. However, we dare not touch it without Young Master's permission."”
"Bring me there to take a look," Ying Yun said.
"Alright."
Immediately, the county magistrate of Liquan County brought Ying Yun to the place where the grain was planted.
Along the way, Ying Yun saw that there were guards everywhere.
The magistrate of Liquan County saw Ying Yun looking around and said,""In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, not long after Young Master left, His Majesty sent tens of thousands of soldiers to guard this place.”
"No wonder there are so many soldiers.”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the place where the food was planted.
From a distance, Ying Yun could see a mountain in the distance. It was covered in green.
Needless to say, it was definitely corn.
As for the flat land, it was also green, but it was planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.
After Ying Yun arrived underground, he glanced at the ground.
When he realized that cracks had already appeared at the roots of the sweet potatoes and potatoes, he said,"It's almost ripe. Get someone to dig some out and transport them to places that lack food.”
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Liquan County immediately called for people to dig.
Wang Ben picked up one of the sweet potatoes and was surprised.
"Oh my god, this is too big. It's at least ten catties.”
"The main thing is that the land here is fertile. If it were any other place, they might not have such a good harvest."”
"It's better to teach them how to grow crops than to feed them," Wang Ben said.”
Ying Yun said," Don't worry. I'll write a planting manual later. Then, I'll make a copy and give it to the people of the country. That way, they'll know how to plant it."”
"This is a good idea."
In order to let Great Qin's people know how to eat this food, they had to make sure that they were able to eat it.
Ying Yun summoned the people of Liquan County to the center of Liquan County and taught them how to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes.
As for the corn, he simply boiled it and ate it.
After the commoners tasted it, they all praised it for being delicious.
After tasting it, Wang Ben also felt that it was delicious, so he sent some into the palace, intending to let the officials and Ying Zheng have a taste.
Ying Zheng had eaten it once before.
But after returning to the palace, he could not forget it.
When he ate again, he ate a few more before stopping.
In order to gain the approval of all the officials, Ying Zheng called them to Zhangtai Palace and distributed the cooked potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn to them.
After they had tasted it, Ying Zheng asked,""How is it, everyone? The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn taste good, right?”
However, the civil and military officials did not answer. Instead, they hugged the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes and ate them.
As they ate, they discussed.
"It's so delicious. I didn't expect there to be such delicious food.”
"Yeah, what's this called? Sweet potato, right? It's so sweet.”
"Your sweet potatoes are nothing. My corn is the sweetest.”
Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, Ying Zheng's face darkened, and he placed the sweet potato in his hand on the table.
"Did everyone not hear what I said?”
Ying Zheng deliberately raised his voice.
Hearing the voice, all the officials stopped eating and turned to look at Ying Zheng.
" Let me ask you," Ying Zheng said," What do you think of the taste of these foods?”
"Your Majesty, this is simply a delicacy." Li Si cupped his hands.”
"Yes, it's too delicious. I suggest that it be planted throughout the country," Feng Quji said.”
Holding an unfinished roasted sweet potato, Zhang Han cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng and said,""Your Majesty, we have to find time to cook every time we fight, especially when we're chasing the enemy. Cooking is a waste of time.”
"If we let each soldier bring a sweet potato, then we won't have to eat for a few days.”
" That's right," Li Si said." General Wang Ben sent someone to tell me that the yield of the grain is 150 dan per mu. Do you know what that means?"”
The officials were curious.
Li Si said," It can be said that as long as every family grows this grain, Great Qin's people will not be short of food. If the people are not short of food, they will have food to provide. By then, will the army be afraid of not having food?”
"That's right," Feng Quji said,"We should promote it vigorously."”
Ying Zheng nodded and said," Indeed, we should vigorously promote it. But, we don't know how to plant it. How about this? Pass on my order and let Ying Yun be in charge of this matter."”
"Yes."
Several days later.
Liquan County.
Ying Yun and Wang Ben were sitting in the hall, planning how to expand the plantation area.
At this moment, the county magistrate of Liquan County walked in with three people.
"Young Master, the three of them want to see you. This subordinate can't stop them no matter what.”
Ying Yun raised his head and discovered that the three of them were none other than the famous Gongsun Linglong, the farmer Xu Ping, and the scholar Kong Jia whom he had met once before.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Gongsun Linglong said in a shrill voice,""I never thought that you would be young master Ying Yun. I hope you can forgive me for my previous offense.”
Ying Yun smiled faintly and said," Those who don't know are not guilty. Why don't you tell me your purpose for coming to find me?"”
The three of them looked at each other. Gongsun Linglong said,""In that case, I'll be straightforward.”
" I heard that Young Master doesn't seem to be giving food to the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. He even stipulated that the disciples of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy have to spend a lot of money to buy food.”
"Not bad."
"Why?" Gongsun Linglong raised her eyebrows.”
"Because I heard that the remnants of the Six Nations want to rope you in. If I give you food, wouldn't I be giving it to the enemy?" Ying Yun said coldly.”
The three of them were taken aback. Kong Jia said," Our scholarly faction will not participate in your conflict. I just want the scholarly disciples to have food to eat."”
"That's right. I heard that you don't give us farm disciples any food either."”
"Since you've come to find me, I'll give you two options."”
"The first rule is that if you want food, you have to buy it with money. However, I have to tell you in advance that the food I sell is very expensive.”
Without waiting for Ying Yun to finish, Gongsun Lingling smiled and said,""Then the second condition would definitely be for us to submit to you.”
Ying Yun smiled." Smart. There are only these two paths that you can take now. How you choose is up to you."”
