Three months later.
Ying Zheng stood outside the farmland, looking at the Qin man who was pulling the plow behind him and pulling the plow two years in front of him, his face filled with satisfaction.
This was a double plow, also known as a long straight shaft plow.
"Young Master, I didn't expect this puppet plow to save a lot of time and manpower. It's also easier to operate, allowing the people to cultivate faster and save more effort. They can also have more time to open up wasteland and invest in other aspects.”
A farming official looked at the eight or nine-year-old youth in front of him with an amazed expression.
No matter what, he would never have thought that such a national treasure would actually come from the hands of the youth in front of him.
And beside him were two children who were about the same age as Ying Zheng.
"Young Master Zheng is so powerful!"
Meng Yi, who was two or three years younger than Ying Zheng, widened his eyes with a look of admiration. Even Meng Tian, who was standing beside him, was no different.
Although the two of them were born into a family of generals, they also understood what this would bring to the State of Qin.
"It has always been my goal to reduce the chaos of war and let the people have ample food and clothing.”
Ying Zheng said softly. Thinking back to the scene he saw in his dream, this was nothing.
In fact, there was a Qu Yuan Li in the Lei Si Jing that was even simpler and more powerful. However, it was not suitable to appear now. It was more suitable to appear after the unification.
The eyes of the Startling Salamander, who was following closely behind Ying Zheng, were also filled with emotions. It opened its small mouth, and although it did not say anything, it was obvious that it was also feeling complicated.
Although she was only an assassin and bodyguard, she was not ignorant. She knew what this seemingly ordinary Nong Li would bring.
"Young Master, the King summons you to the palace!"
At this moment, a tall figure got off the horse and bowed.
"I'll go now."
Ying Zheng nodded, walked out of the farmland, and boarded the carriage.
During these three months, he would enter the palace every few days.
Now, the ouli had been tested and improved many times, from three men and two oxen at the beginning to one man and two oxen now. Moreover, they had all been verified, so it was not surprising that they were spread to the court.
……
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zhu was wearing a white robe and sitting on the throne. His face was full of smiles.
"Dear ministers, the effect of the straight shaft plow designed by Zheng 'er has been verified. With this item, the people of my Qin country will save more time, and many lands that have not been reclaimed can be reclaimed!”
Ying Zhu was in a good mood. Although his body had been very weak recently, he was still in high spirits.
From the moment he entered Xianyang to now, Ying Zheng had brought him too many surprises in just a few months.
Moreover, he knew that Ying Zheng was smart and had a photographic memory.
Such a genius, how could he not be happy?
"Great King is wise, Young Master is wise!"
The officials also congratulated him. This was not a greeting, but a fact.
Ying Zheng had already proved himself through his own ability.
Although he was young, his intelligence and knowledge were far beyond many people.
Especially the improved straight-beam plow, which could be said to be an epoch-making product in this era. It increased the efficiency of farming by at least several times. Most importantly, it saved time and effort, saving time and effort, and could reclaim more land.
During the Warring States Period, there were too many uncultivated lands.
The appearance of the straight shaft plow, for a country like Qin that was either farming or fighting, the benefits were self-evident.
At this moment, His Highness 'Ying Zichu was also raising his head, his face filled with pride.
Because Ying Zheng was his son.
The more outstanding his son was, the more he would be able to carry him as his father.
As for threats?
Stop fooling around.
Ying Zheng was only nine years old.
"Young Master Zheng has arrived."
Accompanied by a sharp voice, Ying Zheng strode into Xianyang Palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng bowed respectfully, then straightened his back.
"Zheng 'er, the effect of the straight shaft plow has been verified. You have made a great contribution. What reward do you want?”
Ying Zhu smiled and said loudly.
Faced with the question, Ying Zheng's tender face turned solemn, and he said in a clear voice,""Shennong's teachings, although there are stone cities and pools, with millions of soldiers and no food, can not be defended. Grain and silk are the fate of the world."
"Food is the most important thing to the people. Only with enough food can the people and elites of Great Qin work hard and live well!”
"Zheng 'er is a descendant of the Ying family. This is for the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty.”
Ying Zheng replied with a solemn face.
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zhu laughed out loud when he heard this." Good, my grandson is indeed ambitious. Zheng 'er, you may be humble, but I can't be stingy. If I don't reward you for your contributions, everyone will think that I, the king, have given you an unfair reward.”
Men, bestow Ying Zheng with ten thousand gold coins, ten pairs of jade walls, a box of pearls, a thousand feet of cloth, a thousand guards…"
As the rewards came one after another, even the officials were moved.
"Young Master Zheng's favor is truly unrivaled. This is a treatment that even the various young masters of the king don't have.”
Someone thought to himself.
Ying Zhu had more than twenty sons, but very few of them were able to enter the court.
And there was no one who received such a reward in one go.
The only thing that could be richer than this was the title of Lord.
In fact, according to Ying Zheng's current achievements, he had a chance to be conferred the title of Lord.
However, Ying Zheng was still too young, and there was a gap of a generation between them. If he was conferred the title, it would not be easy for Ying Zichu to inherit the throne in the future. Obviously, Ying Zhu had left some space for Ying Zichu to be conferred.
……
When Ying Zheng returned to the Crown Prince's Residence…
Zhao Ji was already waiting outside the door. She had obviously received the news.
"Zheng 'er, you've gotten into the limelight again this time!”
Seeing her beloved son alighting from the carriage, Lady Zhao's eyes lit up. She quickly took a few steps forward and hugged Ying Zheng in her arms, feeling both happy and worried." In this case, I'm afraid the six dynasties and those people in the dark will want to get rid of you even more.”
"Don't worry, Mother. With the Startling Salamander around, no one can hurt me.”
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and rubbed his head against the soft skin, before he finally raised his head.
"Before the Startling Salamander dies, no one can hurt Young Master.”
The Startling Salamander behind him also calmly replied.
Lady Zhao ignored the salamander and looked at her beloved son in her arms." You've only been in Xianyang for three months, and you've already found so many things. You'll be in trouble in the future. You're so worrisome to make Mother worry so much."”
"Zheng 'er also hopes that mother can always be so worried!”
Ying Zheng held Lady Zhao's hand, and the mother and son walked into the manor.
"Hurry up and wash up. You've been in the fields for the whole day today. Your entire body is covered in sweat and it stinks.”
Zhao Ji pinched her nose and pretended to be unhappy.
"Then, Mother, you were still hugging me so enthusiastically just now.”
Ying Zheng was speechless, and could not help but retort.
Lady Zhao's face stiffened, then she pressed Ying Zheng's head into her arms and rubbed it hard again." Good job, Zheng 'er. You've learned to go against your mother so quickly?"”
The mother and son quarreled along the way, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy.
A hint of envy and desire appeared in the eyes of the Startling Salamander who was following behind him.
Unfortunately, this kind of warmth was too far away from her. She would never be able to get it.
She didn't have parents and didn't know who her parents were.
She would never be able to feel such familial love.
Unless…
The Startling Salamander shook its head and threw away the strange thought that suddenly appeared in its mind.
"I'm a sword, I shouldn't have feelings!”
"When a sword has feelings, it will become dull!"
The Startling Salamander warned herself in her heart. She could not tolerate her sword becoming blunt, because this was the foundation of her life.
"If I become weak and can't protect him, I'll probably lose my value and have no right to stay by his side.”
"Only by becoming stronger can I still be by his side.”
The Startling Salamander's eyes were filled with determination.
At some point, she had changed from becoming stronger just to survive to becoming stronger to stay by his side.
In fact, they did not communicate much in the past three months.
At times, she was just a spectator, an audience, watching him do things and listening to him speak.
That was all.
