At the same time.
The Great Qin Empire.
Around seven days had passed outside, but over at Great Qin, nearly a month had passed!
Time flew by, and the Mo Sabers could be equipped for the entire army under the frantic efforts of the craftsmen in Xianyang City.
Moreover, Tu Sui, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin had already ordered the soldiers to change into Mo Sabers and begin training.
As for Xiao He, he started to store up food and prepared to open up a grain path from Great Qin to the Central Plains.
Countless rations were frantically transported to the border.
The army and horses had not moved yet, and the rations had to go first. This was necessary.
There was only a month left until the start of the new year. He had to make preparations now!
As for the three-piece horse harness, they had already mass-produced it. Great Qin had 300,000 Cavalry, and they now had 200,000 or so people. With another tens of thousands of three-piece horse harness sets, they should be able to complete it.
In this way, they would definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu next year!
During this month, the First Emperor was also very busy because he was making arrangements. Other than the matters of the court, he also had to plan various matters to attack the Xiongnu.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang, Feng Quji, and other civil officials were assisting him, otherwise, without Kuo Le, Ying Zheng would have been exhausted and would have collapsed!
However, during this one month, Ying Zheng was also very excited, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
If they could completely destroy the Xiongnu, Great Qin would become even more powerful.
This was the wish of the First Emperor!
Therefore, he was always so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, afraid that there were still some mistakes that hadn't been dealt with.
That night, Ying Zheng still could not fall asleep. After getting up from the big bed in his bedroom, he put on his Black Gold Dragon Robe, carried the Sword of the Emperor Qin on his back, and walked towards the back garden.
The scenery in the back garden was still the same. Even though it was already late at night, under the flickering lights, the flowers were still beautiful and fragrant...
While admiring the land, Shi Huang unknowingly walked to the land where the potatoes were planted.
The land around the potatoes was bare, without a single flower. Ying Zheng was afraid that the flowers would fight for the fertilizer with the potatoes, so he pulled all the flowers out.
After all, how could flowers be more important than potatoes?
However, after such a long time of growth, the potatoes had long grown into potato vines. It was just that Ying Zheng was afraid that something would go wrong, so he did not dare to dig deeper into the soil.
But tonight, he really couldn't take it anymore.
"Let's dig it up and take a look. What if it matures?”With this thought in mind, Ying Zheng threw down the Sword of the Emperor Qin, squatted down, and began to dig the soil with both hands.
Although Qin Shi Huang had a dragon body, it was not a body that was worth thousands of gold. When he was young in Zhao, he had done these things.
In order to show his respect to his teacher, Ying Zheng dug the ground with his own hands!
As the black soil was continuously dug up, a huge potato gradually appeared in front of the First Emperor...
This potato was khaki in color and was the size of a human fist.
Not only that, just as Shi Huang was about to pull it up, he actually pulled up three to four vines.
Four to five potatoes emerged from the ground, and the earthen-yellow fruits made Ying Zheng's heart filled with excitement!
He stared at the potato with a burning gaze."Teacher said that this thing can produce 3000 catties per mu. It's time to check.”
These potatoes seemed to be ripe.
In that case, let's just start digging!
Let's see how many potatoes can be dug out from this mu!
However, it was impossible for the First Emperor to dig alone. Therefore, he called several eunuchs and guards over and directly ordered them to dig!
"You must be careful not to destroy the food given by the immortals. Otherwise, you will be killed!”ordered Ying Zheng.
The eunuchs and guards nodded and hurriedly dug.
As the potatoes were placed into the basket one by one, the First Emperor's heart began to grow nervous.
Soon, about fifteen minutes later, the basket was filled.
Half an hour later, another basket was filled.
In another 15 minutes, the third wicker basket was also filled!
The fourth…
The fifth!
Looking at the potatoes that were being dug out from this one mu of land, the First Emperor was excited!
His heart was trembling wildly.
At this moment, he only wanted to shout at the sky," Teacher really didn't lie to me.
This acre of land was now filled with dozens of baskets of potatoes. Moreover, the guards were still digging. One could imagine how many potatoes they could dig out!
Shi Huang was so excited that he didn't want to delay any longer.
He looked at everyone and ordered,"Dig, hurry up and dig!" Don't stop!"
Qin Shi Huang's order caused the guards to dig frantically.
The eunuchs had never done this kind of work before. They were so tired that their heads were dizzy, but the guards were extremely relaxed and dug very quickly!
In a short period of time, a few more baskets were filled.
" Hahahaha-" Ying Zheng suddenly burst into laughter, his black dragon robe fluttering in the wind!
He looked at a eunuch beside him and immediately ordered,""Go, call Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Feng Quji, Meng Tian, and the others!”
The eunuch saw that Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed and hurriedly went to gather the lords.
Looking at the dozens of baskets piled up, Ying Zheng's face was full of smiles. Even if he didn't need to calculate, he could roughly estimate that these potatoes weighed more than three thousand jin!
In fact, it was far more than 3,000 jin!
Such a good thing, how could he be happy alone? He should let all the beloved ministers share it!
The First Emperor couldn't help but look forward to what kind of expression they would have when they arrived and saw the dozens of baskets of potatoes!
……
Late at night, in the Right Prime Minister's residence.
Feng Quji was woken up. He knelt on the ground and rubbed his eyes to receive the decree.
After hearing the eunuch's announcement, Feng Quji couldn't help but say,""Eunuch, what is the matter with His Majesty? Why is he in such a hurry to call us into the palace?”
"His Majesty seems to be quite happy. Prime Minister, you will know when you go.”After the eunuch finished speaking, he immediately went to other places to pass on the message.
His Majesty was happy?
Could it be a happy occasion?
This time, Feng Quji became spirited. If it was a bad thing, Feng Quji wouldn't be enthusiastic, but if it was a good thing, he would hurry up and take a look.
Hence, Feng Quji immediately changed into his official robe, got on the carriage, and rushed out of Xianyang Palace!
Feng Quji did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, he stood at the palace gate and waited for the other officials.
Not long after, Xiao He, Meng Tian, and Zhang Liang arrived!
The four gathered together and the first thing they asked was,""Do you know why His Majesty summoned us into the palace so late at night?”
The four of them looked at each other. Feng Quji stroked his beard and smiled."It's said to be a good thing."
"Then let's hurry in."
Thus, taking advantage of the night, the palace gates of Xianyang City were opened. The four important ministers of Great Qin quickly walked into the palace despite the cold night.
After entering the palace, the eunuchs led the four ministers to the back garden.
At this moment, the guards were still digging, and Ying Zheng was still watching from the side.
Seeing that the four ministers had arrived, Ying Zheng did not respond to them. Instead, he looked down, as if he was resting.
After Feng Quji greeted the Emperor, he was the first to discover the dozens of wicker baskets.
"Hmm? What is that?" Feng Quji was puzzled.
Meng Tian walked forward and took out a potato from the basket. She looked around and said,""What is this yellow thing? Why are there so many?"
Zhang Liang and Xiao He also looked at Ying Zheng in confusion.
Ying Zheng glanced at them, then said blandly,""Minister Xiao, aren't you in charge of grain? Then come over and count. See how many catties there are in these dozens of wicker baskets?”
