"That kid is digging up the Ying family's ancestral graves!”
"Since when is the king not important?!”
"I am the heavens!"
"Bastard! Bastard!"
"Since when could a commoner surpass a king in his eyes?？”
"Then what do you need me for!"
"These six countries were conquered by me, and this world was also established by me. How can it be inferior to a commoner!”
"Traitorous, absolutely treasonous!!!”
"He's digging up my royal family's grave!!”
"He's not scolding Meng Yi, he's scolding Us!”
"He's calling me a tyrant!”
As expected, Qin Shi Huang exploded.
This time, it wasn't Meng Yi and Wang Ben who were attacked, but the political ideology of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin Dynasty.
As an emperor who claimed to have surpassed the Three Royals and Five Emperors, how could he accept this!
He had unified the six countries and established Great Qin. This was a great achievement, but today, his own son said that he was inferior to the people.
If this wasn't treason, then what was?
How did I give birth to such a rebellious son!
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with fire. If Thirteen was in front of him, he would kill him with a slap!
His emotions surged, and the zhenqi in his body suddenly accelerated.
Some of the blocked meridians were instantly broken open by this burst of true qi.
In his rage, his cultivation base had advanced by a large margin.
He was about to touch the threshold of the peak late Xiantian realm.
Ying Zheng felt this and was stunned.
Then, the anger dissipated.
After a long time.
He recalled those words again.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these words were not trivial.
Some truths couldn't withstand careful scrutiny, while some ancient sayings became more and more interesting the more they were read.
Especially in the current historical environment.
That was the truth that could be understood in this era.
The people are the foundation of a country?
At this moment, many images flashed through Ying Zheng's mind. There were people who built the Great Wall, his own mausoleum, Epang Palace, and man-made rivers.
Some of these places were important to Great Qin's stability, while others were for the nobles.
Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it. However, before the boat was truly capsized, the boat would not realize that water could capsize it.
This was also why the later emperors only understood the importance of the people after the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
At this moment, the First Emperor fell into deep thought.
Between the king and the people, who was more important?
Ying Zheng found it hard to think of an answer to this question. He asked,"
"Shadow, do you think that kid is right?”
The leader of the dark shadows quivered. He did not dare to answer this question.
Actually, the reason why the leader of the secret guards dared to mention this matter first was because he really felt that what the Thirteenth Young Master said made sense.
In other words, the Thirteenth Young Master's words made his cold heart feel warmth again.
Before becoming the leader of the Black Ice Platform, he had been an ordinary commoner, and he believed that Great Qin's ruler was the heavens. Everything the commoner had was given to them by the ruler, and everything they did was for the ruler.
However…
The Thirteenth Young Master's words made him feel different.
He had never been to school and did not understand much. He only knew that he felt warm in his heart when he heard the Thirteenth Young Master's words.
It was a feeling that he hadn't felt in decades.
Otherwise, he would not have run away without fighting spirit when Qing Yi chased after him.
He did not want to be enemies with the Thirteenth Young Master.
The black-robed leader thought to himself. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to speak his mind.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Thirteenth Young Master is wrong. You have unified the six states, which is an unprecedented achievement.
Even the Three Royals and Five Emperors of the ancient times could not do this. You are the greatest king in this world.”
"I... Got it."
Ying Zheng's voice sounded a little tired." What else is there? Pick something simple."”
"Yes, sir!"
"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Young Master invented two things. If used properly, they can double the grain production.”
"What?! It could double the production? Reaching 500 catties per mu? What thing? Have you seen the real thing?!”
After all, he was an emperor. When he heard this news, he was shocked.
Great Qin's war chariot army was the best in the world, but after taking down the six kingdoms, Emperor Ying could only rest and recuperate.
There was no other reason.
The granary was empty.
The food that Great Qin had accumulated over the years was only enough for his army to fight for a few years.
Now, there were Xiongnu Baiyue outside, Penglai and Ryukyu outside the sea. Did Qin Shihuang not want to fight them and incorporate them into the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty?
Of course he wanted to.
There wasn't enough food, and Great Qin's residents were unable to afford a single meal in order to support the war.
There was no other way.
The crop production in this era was really too low.
This matter had troubled Ying Zheng for most of his life. Even in his later years, there was no solution. It had always been a worry in his heart.
Now that he heard that the Thirteen Sons had invented something that could double the yield of crops, how could he not be excited?!
He stared at Black Shirt with burning eyes, as if he had already forgotten about his previous "treasonous" remarks.
"Your subordinate saw one of them. It was an improved plow called the Curved Plow.”
"After listening to the Thirteenth Young Master and the two Prime Ministers explain how to use it, this subordinate believes that the curved shaft plow can indeed greatly increase the efficiency of plowing and can save a lot of energy for humans and animals.”
"Great Qin's territory is vast, but it doesn't have many people. If everyone can cultivate more land, we'll naturally have more food.”
Ying Zheng slowly nodded. The wind and thunder in his eyes weakened once again.
"Why don't you bring back a sample for me to take a look?”
"This subordinate…He was beaten away again…"
Ying Zheng stared at him coldly.
Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Black Shirt's forehead.
"Humph!"
"What about the other one?"
"The other type, which I only heard from the Thirteenth Young Master, is called farm manure, but it's actually the feces of humans and animals.”
"Young Master said that this item can increase the fertility of the soil, reduce the production cycle of crops, and increase the yield. However, this item still needs to be verified."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was not as rash as Meng Yi. He immediately said that it was humiliating.
He thought about it carefully for a long time and speculated about the reason, but in the end, he did not dare to make a conclusion.
However, regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to give it a try.
Even if it wasn't like Thirteen had said, it would only increase by 50%, which was the greatest benefit that Great Qin had received in the past ten years!
"Go! This matter is of great importance. Send someone to keep an eye on the entire process. Once there are results, report it immediately!”
"Understood!"
"Other than that, did Meng Yi show any signs of being persuaded by Thirteen?”
"Replying to Your Majesty, I don't think that High Official Meng did. He only hoped that Young Master Su would come back to take charge of the situation.”
"Alright." Ying Zheng nodded.
"That kid is not good at governing the country, but he has some talent in eating, drinking, and playing. First, he made soldiers, then he played carpentry. Although his path is crooked, he is still somewhat useful.”
The black shadow was about to nod in agreement when he heard the next sentence and quickly stopped.
"He's too rebellious. When I come out of seclusion, I'll throw him in prison for two years first!”
"By the way, it's been two days. Is there any news from the Northern Border Pass?”
Qin Shi Huang was asking if Fu Su had received the news and rushed back.
The North Pass was not far from Xianyang and could be reached in a day by a fast horse. If they were to travel day and night, Fu Su should have returned by now.
"Your Majesty, we haven't received any news from that side yet.”
"Go and investigate what happened."”
"Yes!"
