The Meng family was the same as the Wang family, they were loyal and loyal in the Qin Dynasty.
After destroying the six states, Old General Wang Jian received his reward and returned to his fief to stay.
Meng Tian led the Golden Fire Cavalry to destroy the Xiongnu.
His younger brother Meng Yi stayed in Xianyang and was ordered by the First Emperor. He was very trusted and often looked for Meng Yi to discuss state affairs.
Today.
When Meng Yi entered the palace, his expression was exceptionally solemn.
He had heard about the morning court session today. He did not expect His Majesty to do such a ridiculous thing for a cat.
He would definitely persuade His Majesty later!
……
When Meng Yi arrived at the palace, he saw Ying Zheng, who was happily hugging a black cat.
He also looked over.
Needless to say, this little fellow was quite unique.
Looking at him, she felt an itch in her heart and wanted to raise one.
* Cough cough *
No, how could a macho man like him raise a cat?
Meng Yi shook his head, came back to his senses, and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here.”
Meng Yi's heavy heart was seen by Ying Zheng. He laughed, as if he could read Meng Yi's mind.
"Are you curious about the reason behind the edict I issued today?”
Ying Zheng wore a gentle smile on his face. It seemed that as long as he was with this cat in his arms, he was no longer the decisive First Emperor.
Meng Yi was shocked. He probably did not expect Ying Zheng to speak first before he had even started to persuade him.
"I really don't know."
Because of Ying Zheng's decree, all the officials were going crazy during the morning court session today.
But Meng Yi believed that Ying Zheng must have his reasons for doing so...
"Zhen, let me show you a few things first.”
Ying Zheng said with a mysterious look.
Meng Yi followed Ying Zheng inside and saw two things on the table.
Ying Zheng only took out potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"This is what I wanted to show you.”Ying Zheng's tone revealed a hint of showing off.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what are these?”Meng Yi asked, puzzled.
"These are all immortal items that I obtained.”
"…" Meng Yi was shocked.
Just this?
Immortal item?
The stone-shaped thing with a layer of yellow skin and the ugly red thing.
Meng Yi revealed a disgusted expression.
"Men."
As soon as Ying Zheng gave the order, the people outside brought a bowl of food over.
There were steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes in a bowl.
"Try it."
Meng Yi curiously picked up the potato and carefully took a bite.
His eyes lit up.
"What a crispy texture!"
He took another bite of the sweet potato.
"So sweet!"
Meng Yi had not eaten such delicious food for a long time.
"How fragrant!"
Great Qin's food was mostly bitter.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes were simply delicacies to him. He ate the two of them without leaving a single bite behind.
After eating, Meng Yi even burped.
Then, he became excited again!
A man like him who had fought in a war was a king of rice.
He didn't expect that he would feel full after eating two palm-sized pieces of food!
"This…this is really an immortal item!”
Looking at Meng Yi's shining eyes, he was extremely excited.
Ying Zheng revealed a slightly disgusted look.
Of the four immortal items that his kitten had brought back for him, he had only taken out two.
He took out the other two items.
Wouldn't Meng Yi be so excited that he would jump onto the roof beam with a qinggong?？
Ying Zheng had forgotten that when he heard the System's explanation about the uses of these four items, his expression was not much better than Meng Yi's...
"Now, do you believe me?”
Ying Zheng knew that it would be useless no matter how much he explained. He would only believe it after Meng Yi had tasted it.
Meng Yi cupped his hands and bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the immortal item!"
"But…"
"I ate two immortal items just now. It's a bit of a waste…" Meng Yi looked a little apologetic.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and laughed.
"Hahaha, it's fine!"
"I still have a lot!"
His kittens had brought him more than a thousand pounds, and Meng Yi had only eaten two of them. Why would he care?
Ying Zheng repeated to Meng Yi what the System had explained to him earlier.
After hearing this, Meng Yi's face once again revealed an extremely shocked expression.
" This…How is this possible…If it's really like what His Majesty said, potatoes and sweet potatoes can weigh thousands of kilograms per mu of land, and they can be harvested twice a year…"
"Doesn't that mean that our Great Qin will be able to solve all the problems of famine in the world in just a few short years?”
After the Qin Dynasty conquered the six states, the population was sparse, and farming was also troublesome.
The grain that the farmers grew in a year was not enough for them to eat, and they still had to serve corvee.
If what Ying Zheng said was true, then the people in the world would not have to worry about food and drink anymore!
Meng Yi's blood boiled as he clasped his fists and pleaded.
"Your Majesty, please order me to send people to bring the immortal items to the farmland and teach the people to plant them!”
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"No rush."
"I will also issue another decree to mobilize the captives of the six dynasties who built Epang Palace and the imperial mausoleum to restore their agricultural status.”
With Ying Zheng's current body, he was ten years younger than him. Naturally, the construction of Huang Ling could be slowed down a little.
There were too many desolate lands in the Qin country that had not been reclaimed. However, there were not enough farmers, so he could only transfer them from the prisoners of war of the six countries.
Meng Yi was stunned when he heard that.
" What?!"
"Your Majesty! You mustn't!"
" Now that the world is not at peace, there are still remnants of the six countries who have rebelled against Qin. If we release the prisoners of war of the six countries, if they secretly plot to rebel…"
Before Meng Yi could finish, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.
"Zhen asks you, whose world is this?”
The question was simple.
"Naturally, it's His Majesty's world!" Meng Yi replied.”
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"My world is also the world of all the people.”
"I only need to treat the people of the six states like the people of Qin State, giving them farmland so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. They can work at sunrise and rest at sunset.”
"From now on, there will be no distinction between Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qi!”
"Within the four seas, everyone is my people!”
Meng Yi looked at the Emperor in front of him in a daze.
Such breadth of mind, such magnanimity!
It was likely that within a thousand years, there might not be another similar person!
As expected of the First Emperor of Great Qin!
……
……
Some people were curious about Ge Nia's defection in the first few chapters, so the plot suddenly changed. The reason was that Ying Zheng had just sent his men to attack the Mo Family, and it was impossible for him to receive the news that they could not take down the Mo Family within a few days... Therefore, during this period of time, other plots were interwoven.
