"Don't worry, we brought a lot of food, enough to last us for a few days.”Qin Jiang said to his subordinates.
Soon, the imperial guards brought the food they had brought over.
The remaining 300 or so people in the manor had all gathered around.
"May I ask if you really want to share the grain with us?”A disaster victim cupped his fists and asked in a trembling voice.
Qin Jiang nodded and said earnestly,""Of course!"
"Everyone, I am the owner of this manor. The Imperial Court has already bestowed this place to me!”He explained his identity.
The villagers in the other manors learned that this was the new Lord of the Pass conferred by the imperial court.
They were also pleasantly surprised after they ordered people to transport food from Xianyang.
"Thank you for your kindness!" They were so touched that tears welled up in their eyes. They bent their knees and knelt on the ground.
In such a year of famine, he could reward them with a mouthful of food when they were on the verge of death and not starve to death.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he had given birth to his parents.
Far away, in a hidden corner.
Hundreds of black shadows were quietly lurking, and countless gazes of hatred were fixed on Qin Jiang.
"Hmph, Ying Zheng, I'll let you be smug for a while longer, but tonight will be the day you die!”Lu Yuanjia muttered.
Behind him, the other martial arts practitioners also gripped their weapons tightly.
They did not dare to get too close and could only watch from afar.
Naturally, they mistook Qin Jiang for Ying Zheng.
Alright, he would still make a move.
After all, it was because Qin Jiang exposed Xu Fu's immortal pill that these martial artists were killed.
"Tonight at midnight, immediately take action!" Lu Yuanjia ordered the others.
……
Late at night, Qin Jiang and his men were camping here.
In the manor, everyone else was already asleep.
In the largest house somewhere, there were six palace guards guarding outside.
Qin Jiang lowered his head, calculating something.
He was calculating the cultivated land and population of this manor.
It was to prepare for the promotion of corn planting in the future!
There were still 300 people left!
However, there were more than 6,000 mu of cultivated land!
On average, each person had to cultivate 20 mu of land. In the year of the natural disaster, almost all the cattle were killed. There was a small amount of land, and it was probably not enough.
Qin Jiang rubbed his hands together. He felt that it was a little spicy.
He had already asked Ying Zheng for a hundred dan of grain, so he was naturally too embarrassed to ask for more cattle.
All of a sudden, he had an idea.
"I have it, Qu Yuanli!" He clapped his hands.
It was still the Warring States Period, and the plows used were still straight.
It was formed by a thick blade at the end of a beam.
It was usually tied to a group of livestock or a motor vehicle that pulled it, and it was also driven by manpower to break up the soil and plow the furrow in preparation for sowing.
Although the effect was much better than using his hands and a hoe, it could not be said to be too good.
But Qu Yuanli was different.
Curved shaft plow, its shaft is curved, so it is named, different from straight shaft plow.
Compared to the previous plows, the curved beam plow had several major improvements. First, the straight shaft and the long shaft were changed into curved shaft and short shaft, and a plow plate that could rotate freely was installed at the head of the shaft. This not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also made it easy to turn around and turn. It was flexible to operate and saved manpower and livestock.
To put it simply, it was like this.
Originally, the current straight beam plow required two oxen and three ploughmen to use.
After using the curved shaft plow, only one cow and one ploughman were needed to plow the land!
The same cattle and ploughmen could plow three times more land than before.
This was a tool that could greatly increase productivity.
"The drawing of this curved plow!" Qin Jiang racked his brains. He remembered seeing it before.
He was thinking back to the drawing he had seen before.
Gradually, Qu Yuan Li's blueprint model appeared in his mind.。
"Yes, that's it!" Qin Jiang was delighted.
At this moment, a furious roar came from outside.
"Who is it?" A guard roared.
"What's going on?" Qin Jiang's mind was instantly jolted, and his thoughts were interrupted.
He rushed to the door.
Before he reached the door, he heard shouts, roars, and the sound of weapons clashing.
The battle looked extremely intense.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Protect my lord!" A guard ordered the other guards to pass the message.
Qin Jiang had just walked to the door and pushed it open. He immediately saw the dim lights outside and countless black shadows pouncing towards him.
From the looks of it, there were at least a hundred of them.
"Where did so many people come from?" Qin Jiangbi was also shocked.
The sudden appearance of so many assassins in the middle of the night surprised him.
He wasn't a big shot?
Was there a need for such a big lineup?
However, he did not panic.
There were dozens of palace guards by his side. He did not believe that those people were more powerful than his experienced elites.
He was just a little surprised. Why were there so many people trying to kill him?
What kind of evil thing did he do? Who did he offend?
Was it worth it for so many people to kill him?
This formation?
He believed that they were here to assassinate the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was traveling incognito!
The imperial guards at the entrance were already standing with their swords in front of their chests, looking around vigilantly.
Further away, the other imperial guards were already holding their weapons and heading to meet the enemy.
"Greetings, Milord!" The guard at the door cupped his fists and bowed.
Qin Jiang nodded and waved his hand.”
Then, he looked into the darkness in the distance and asked in a deep voice,"Where did this assassin come from?"
"Milord, we don't know either. This group of people sneaked up during the night and was discovered by our patrols. That's why a fierce battle broke out!”the guard reported to Qin Jiang.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the darkness again.
"Kill Ying Zheng, destroy Qin! Brothers, follow me!”
Qin Jiang was speechless.
He looked left and right with a dumbfounded expression.
Brother Zheng is here?
Why didn't he know?
However, he immediately understood and slapped his head.
"F * ck, they really think I'm Brother Zheng!”Qin Jiang understood what was going on.
He was the scapegoat again!
He had been on a good trip, but because Ying Zheng had forced thirty Imperial Guards to accompany him, something had happened.
Obviously, these people had mistaken him for Ying Zheng.
That was why they were shouting and killing.
"Is it the remnants of the Yan and Han countries, or the people of the Qi and Chu countries?”Qin Jiang's eyes flickered as he made a guess.
Since he dared to say that he wanted to kill Ying Zheng and destroy the Qin Empire…
They were definitely not bandits, but people from other countries.
In the darkness, the killing became more and more intense.。
Although the enemy had a large number of people, they did not have the advantage on the battlefield.
The Imperial Guards under Qin Jiang were not ordinary Imperial Guards.
They were all brave warriors who had fought on the battlefield for a long time.
It could be said that each of them had killed no less than twenty enemies.
In the end, because of his meritorious service, he was transferred back to the palace to protect Ying Zheng.
