Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 84: Didn’t Write to Me

After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng did not take any action for a long time.

After a while, he began to deal with state affairs again, but he was filled with a murderous aura.

Shi Yi did not hear the conversation between Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao outside the palace, but he knew that the king had been in a bad mood since Zhao Gao left.

"Your Majesty, Princesses Yuan Man and Yin Man request an audience."

At this time, Shi Yi entered the hall to report.

"pass."

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand.

"Meet my father."

"Get up quickly."

"Why are Yuan Man and Yin Man here today?"

Facing his two daughters, Ying Zheng's expression softened unconsciously.

"Father, I came to see you because I received a letter from my elder brother Fusu."

Seeing Ying Zheng waving, Yuan Man took Yin Man's hand and walked in front of Ying Zheng.

The little fair face is round and chubby, and when he smiles his cheeks are puffy, which is very cute.

"Oh? Did Fusu say anything in the letter?"

This brat didn't even write to me. He deserves to be punished.

Fusu, who was far away in Xinzheng, had no idea that he had been sold out by Yuan Man.

"Father, my elder brother Fusu said that he has been learning farming from farmer Lu Sheng recently."

"Brother Fusu said that this was the task assigned to him by the master."

"My eldest brother has learned a lot about farming now, and the wheat that Lu Shengxin cultivated is growing very well this year. I'm sure the yield will increase this year."

"Father, what is wheat?"

"And what's farming for? Is it hard work?"

"Is your father tired of handling government affairs every day?"

Xiao Mian'ao knew that she had worked hard, and Ying Zheng felt relieved. The anger that had just arisen from Xiong Qi's matter disappeared in an instant.

"Wheat is a kind of grain that the people eat."

"It tastes bad, so we Qin people don't grow wheat."

"But now, our Qin State has a stone mill that can grind wheat into flour. You have all eaten food made from this flour. How does it taste?"

Thinking about the fragrant noodles and pancakes, Yuan Man and Yin Man felt hungry.

"Father, the wheat is delicious."

Ying Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Yes, now that wheat is delicious, we naturally need to find a way to increase its production."

"Nongjia Lu Sheng and your eldest brother are doing this now."

"My eldest brother is really amazing."

“The farmers are also amazing.”

"Father, I also want to grow wheat. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, my daughter wants to too."

Yuan Man and Yin Man both nodded their heads, and Ying Zheng naturally would not refuse.

"Yes, let someone open up a piece of land in your palace, and you can play there if you want."

He patted their heads, which met with the dissatisfaction of Yuan Man and Yin Man.

"Father, my daughter is already an adult. I can't pat your head anymore."

"Hahaha, okay, my son is an adult now."

Yuan Man, Yin Man and Ying Zheng chatted for a few more words and then left Zhangtai Palace.

After all, the king has so many political affairs to attend to, they dare not disturb him too much. Didn’t they see that Jiang Lu and others never come?

After Zhao Gao left Zhangtai Palace, he went back and found a few more people, preparing to continue to keep an eye on Changping Jun day and night. At the same time, he also sent people to Xianyang to inquire about outsiders who had recently entered Xianyang.

More than ten days later, Zhao Gao actually found out some things.

"Are you saying that there was a man named Xu Chun, who claimed to be from Chu, and who went to visit one of Changping Jun's retainers six days ago?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gao was surprised. Changping Jun actually contacted the Chu people privately?

No wonder the king asked me to keep an eye on Changping Jun. It turns out he was unfaithful to the king.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, Eunuch Zhao, don't worry. Although few people know about this, it's a coincidence."

"One time, Xu Chun went out for a drink. My friend saw that he was well-dressed and wanted to make some friends, so he treated him to a meal. During the introduction, Xu Chun said that he was from Chu and came to Qin to seek an opportunity to show his talents."

"And he even specifically asked my friend about the Guannei Marquis."

"Guan Nei Hou Zhang Yuanqing?"

"Exactly. Xu Chun said he admired Guannei Hou very much and wanted to recommend himself, hoping to learn more about his deeds."

Zhao Gao was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you know where Xu Chun is now?"

"I don't know about this little guy."

"Xu Chun's previous residence is no longer occupied. I haven't seen him in recent days."

Zhao Gao was a little disappointed.

However, this was already progress, and he immediately ordered: "Continue to have your people inquire around to see if Xu Chun is still in Xianyang City."

"If you can find out Xu Chun's whereabouts, you will definitely get some benefits."

"promise."

The man left in a hurry, and Zhao Gao walked back and forth in circles in the room.

Sometimes he hated himself for not being cautious enough and having his whereabouts discovered. Sometimes he fantasized that if he could catch Xu Chun and find evidence that Changping Jun was unfaithful to the king, the king would definitely use him. Let's see if those villains dared to humiliate him.

A few days passed in a flash. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the crops were bent by the sun.

"Hurry, take all these things with you and go to the river to test them out."

Hu Feizi looked at the pile of parts that he and his disciples had been studying for more than two months with such fondness that he couldn't even see his eyes from laughing.

"Okay Master."

The disciples were also very happy and were just waiting for the experiment to be successful.

Over the past two months, they have failed countless times in their attempts to improve the waterwheel.

It will definitely work this time.

"Come on, let's be careful and don't break anything."

"Don't worry, brother. We are all being careful."

This thing is their treasure.

Soon, Hu Feizi and his men arrived at the fields outside Xianyang City.

"Come on, let's put this thing together."

After Hu Feizi finished speaking, he started to assemble it.

The other disciples followed suit.

There are farmers watering their crops in the fields.

Seeing Hu Feizi and the others coming again, everyone came over to join in the fun.

In the past three months, this group of Mo family members have come many times. No one knows what they are doing, and they don’t understand when asked. All I know is that every time they do something, there is a lot of clanging, and then they leave dejectedly.

I came again today, but I don’t know if it will work.

More than forty people quickly assembled the waterwheel and placed it in the stream.

The huge waterwheel turned with the flow of the stream, making a sound like the scream of a goose.

However, Hu Feizi and others did not mind at all. Instead, they stared at the waterwheel excitedly. If the actual situation did not allow it, they would probably jump into the river to help push it.

The bamboo tubes tied to the waterwheel are filled with water and fly into the sky as the waterwheel rotates. The water in the bamboo tubes flows into the water boat, and the water in the water boat is full and flows out through the bamboo.

The water fell to the ground. Hu Feizi excitedly stepped forward, caught the flowing water with his hands, and took a sip.

"It's done, it's done!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"It's done."

"We succeeded."

"Quick, load up the other bamboos and divert the water to the fields."

The man who was as happy as a child just now started to work frantically with things.

The people who came to watch the excitement were so shocked that they were speechless.

Here, there is water already?
