"My son, Qiu, is wise and resourceful. He perfectly resolved the crisis that the drought brought to the Qin country.”
"And severely punish those profiteers who want to take advantage of the national disaster to make a fortune!”
"Great contribution!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand bolts of silk, ten Ferghana horses, ten carriages of antique jade, food…Err... Forget about the food!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and gave Ying Ziqiu a lot of rewards. When he mentioned the food, he suddenly stopped awkwardly.
Under the heavens.
Currently, Ying Ziqiu was the one who didn't lack food.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Only then did the ministers recover from their shock, and hurriedly paid their respects to Ying Zheng.
The reward this time did not cause any commotion.
It was just some valuables.
However, at this moment, the hearts of some of the officials in the court were bleeding!
Ying Ziqiu had successfully solved the problem of food prices for the refugees, but they were in a bad situation!
Especially the few ministers who were incited by Chunyu Yue!
It could be said that he had gone bankrupt!
It really fulfilled the saying,"If the heavens do evil, it can be done." He had brought this upon himself and could not live!
......
Although the matter had been resolved perfectly.
However, the sensation and impact had only just begun!
In ancient times.
The news spread relatively slowly. Ying Zheng and the others were in Xianyang City, so they naturally received the news quickly.
The other counties and countries only found out after a long time.
The production of seven to eight thousand catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu, the punishment of profiteers for the benefit of the people, and the spread of news from Xianyang City to all directions!
The world was shaken!
The commoners exclaimed!
Countless citizens of the State of Qin couldn't help but kneel down and worship Ying Ziqiu, apologizing and expressing their gratitude!
Previously.
Many commoners felt resentment, hatred, and even curses because Ying Ziqiu had personally stepped forward to raise the price of grain!
However, Ying Ziqiu had silently endured all of this!
For the sake of the big picture, for the sake of the world, there was no trace of complaint or anger.
Now, the truth was out.
Countless people felt ashamed and regretful for what they had done before. Some even slapped themselves!
Everything that the Second Prince had done…
It was all for the poor people!
This was because the Second Prince had to produce seven to eight thousand catties of immortal grain per mu to allow them to live a life of food and clothing, allowing the refugees to successfully tide over the crisis!
He was a god sent by the heavens to save ordinary people like them!
This was a loss and the other was a gain!
Because of his guilt, coupled with his actions, Ying Ziqiu's reputation in the hearts of the people had reached a terrifying level.
He had won the hearts of countless people!
Since ancient times, those who won the hearts of the people won the world. If the hearts of the people submitted, the world would not be far away!
Wei Country, Daliang City.
"Everyone, what should we do?"
"Now, the Second Prince of the State of Qin, Ying Ziqiu, has planted a divine item that can produce seven to eight thousand catties per mu, perfectly resolving this natural disaster.”
"Previously, when we colluded with the Qi Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom raised the grain prices, would it anger the Qin Kingdom and send troops to attack our Wei Kingdom?”
The King of Wei was panicking.
He had thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible for the Qin country to survive this drought before agreeing to cooperate with the Qi country and the Chu country to restrict the Qin country.
Who would have thought that Ying Ziqiu could even resolve a crisis like a natural disaster!
Confronting the heavens!
It was ridiculous!
"Your Majesty, now that the problem of the natural disaster has been resolved, there is no need to worry about the future.”
"The King of Qin is likely to be angry and send troops to attack Wei. I think we should immediately send envoys to offer land and wealth to the State of Qin to sue for peace.”
Prime Minister Wei Yong immediately stood out and proposed to the King of Wei to sue for peace.
The outcome of Yan Country, Zhao Country, and Xiongnu made him not have the slightest courage to start a war with Qin Country!
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"The Prime Minister is right. Immediately send an envoy to the State of Qin and offer ten cities, one hundred thousand taels of gold, five hundred thousand stones of grain, and one hundred carriages of antiques and jade.”
"Just say that I was dumbfounded by the villains of the Chu Country and apologize to the King of Qin!”
The King of Wei immediately adopted Prime Minister Wei Yong's suggestion.
He was also afraid!
The legend of Ying Ziqiu splitting open Wuyang Pass, breaking through 26,000 soldiers with a single sword strike, and killing a million Xiongnu in a single battle was still circulating around the world!
The King of Wei did not have the courage to face such a peerless butcher!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The civil and military officials of Wei agreed in unison. No one objected.
Sigh...
The Wei Kingdom was really rotten to the bones!
Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, who was standing in a corner, let out a long sigh in his heart.
At this moment.
The best way was to ally with the Chu Country. The Qi Country would gather the strength of the three countries to resist the Qin Country. Only then would there be a chance of survival!
Ten cities and that bit of wealth to ask for peace, to make the Qin country give up the determination to annex the Wei country?
This was simply a dream!
Although Wei Wuji could clearly see the current situation of the world and think of the most perfect way to deal with it.
but...
The King of Wei did not trust him at all and would not accept his suggestion.
Wei Country…
They were not far from being destroyed!
The situation in Qi was similar to Wei.
After learning that Ying Ziqiu had resolved the problem of natural disasters such as the drought, the monarch and his subjects were also panicking. They were prepared to send envoys to offer land and wealth to the Qin Country to sue for peace and continue to maintain the alliance between the two countries.
The only difference was Chu.
The Chu Country was located in the south of the Yangtze River. It had thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of soldiers. It had the arrogance of a big country.
Even though they were shocked that Ying Ziqiu was able to resolve the natural disaster of the drought, they didn't seek peace with Qin like Qi and Wei.
They could not bring themselves to do so.
Daze Village, farmhouse.
The six elders of the farm and the various hall masters were all gathered together.
The people who were most shocked by Ying Ziqiu's yield of seven to eight thousand catties of grain per mu were not the people of the world, nor the countries of the world, but the farmers!
The farmer's inheritance and the ancient Shennong.
No one in the world knew how to farm better than them.
Rice, millet, millet, wheat, beans, sunflowers, vegetables, scallions, leeks, onions, and other five grains and five vegetables, they knew all about them!
In this era, where the average yield of grain per mu was two to three hundred catties, the crops cultivated by farmers could reach four to five hundred catties per mu, doubling.
Farming techniques were what farmers were most proud of!
Now.
The sudden emergence of a grain that could produce seven to eight thousand catties per mu had shattered all their pride!
"This thing can actually produce seven to eight thousand catties per mu?!”
"How is it cultivated?"
"The second prince of the Qin country, could he be the reincarnation of the Divine Farmer?”
The leader of the farmers, Tian Guang, picked up the potatoes he had bought from the market and exclaimed. His eyes revealed a look of surprise.
The other farmers were also shocked!
His eyes were filled with disbelief!
Ying Ziqiu, a noble prince, actually knew more about the way of farming than the people of the farming family!
This was ridiculous!
You're making us farmers lose face!
