Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 21 I like it, what's wrong?

"That's the deal. You go to Yushi's Mansion to hand over immediately." Ying Zheng's tone was unquestionable.

"Tomorrow you will go to Cheqi General's Mansion. From now on, your responsibility is to assist Zhao Yi in planting the crop called potatoes."

"The potatoes are produced by Zhao Yi. You can go to Zhaozhuang outside the city tomorrow and see the potatoes planted by Zhao Yi, and you will know what I'm thinking!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Cang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Ying Zheng was so interested in the crop called 'potato' that Zhao Yi had produced.

What Ying Zheng said seemed to be that the potato could really produce three thousand catties per mu, but it still needed to be verified.

Could it be said that there are really crops in this world with an yield of three thousand catties per mu, and such a miraculous crop was actually produced by Zhao Yi, who is called a mediocre guy in Xianyang City?
Suddenly, Zhang Cang became interested in Zhao Yi, and suddenly became serious, "Your Majesty, may I ask His Highness Ninth Prince, how did you get these potatoes? Has Your Majesty ever asked for proof..."

Ying Zheng interrupted with a smile: "Zhang Cang, this is what I want you to do. I only care about the result. The process is up to you and Zhao Yi."

Hearing this, Zhang Cang's eyes darkened, and he was really burdened with a heavy burden, so he had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "So, I will go to Zhaozhuang tomorrow."

Now Zhang Cang's eyes are smeared in everything, but if it is true what Ying Zheng said, then the potato can produce three thousand catties per mu, even if he suffers some grievances, it is worth it.

After all, it was a grain crop with a yield of three thousand kilograms per mu, and it was the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty.

I participated in it all the way, and I will definitely be left a strong mark in the history books in the future. It is not a dream to be famous in history!
Zhang Cang's transfer went through the process very quickly. After all, it was a matter of Ying Zheng's personal involvement.

It was precisely because of Ying Zheng's intervention that it quickly attracted prying eyes from all parties, especially among the princes.

After Hu Hai learned of this, he hurriedly asked Zhao Gao for advice.

"Teacher, how could Zhang Cang be transferred to General Chaqi's mansion suddenly by his father?" Hu Hai's tone was full of panic.

According to the laws of the Great Qin, the Cheqi General's Mansion has the right to recruit officials and establish its own official position system. This is the only functional unit in the entire Great Qin, not even the crown prince.

But now, Zhao Yi actually has such power.

Originally, Zhao Yi's inaction did not make anyone take him seriously. After so long, the general's mansion was only cleaned out, and no one settled in. Gradually, no one took Zhao Yi seriously.

But now, Zhang Cang was the first to enter the Cavalry General's Mansion, and it was Ying Zheng who personally made arrangements.

Undoubtedly, there will be more officials in the follow-up. Under Ying Zheng's intervention, they will enter the Cheqi General's Mansion. This is undoubtedly a very bad signal, a signal that Hu Hai is worried about.

Zhao Gao's face was gloomy, "Zhang Cang was mobilized by His Majesty himself. It is said that His Majesty summoned Zhang Cang directly after His Majesty and Princess Liman returned from Zhaozhuang last night."

"That is to say, it is Zhang Cang that Zhao Yi asked his father for?" Hu Hai became more nervous.

"Zhang Cang is Li Si's younger brother, but because of his personality, he has been working in Yushi's mansion." Zhao Gao was puzzled, "According to what we know about Zhang Cang, he should refuse to enter the mansion of General Cheqi .”

"However, according to the news from Shang Shuxing, Zhang Cang seemed to be in high spirits when he went to handle the handover, and he didn't seem to be coerced by His Majesty."

When Hu Hai heard what Zhao Gao said, he suddenly felt even more uncomfortable, "That is to say, Father must have made some promise to Zhang Cang, otherwise Zhang Cang would not have promised so happily."

"It's not important." Zhao Gao slowly shook his head, "Although Zhang Cang is Li Si's junior, but the relationship between the two is not deep, so there may not be any special omen for this matter."

"The most worrying thing now is that His Majesty seems to intend to support the Cheqi General's Mansion, but if it is for Zhao Yi, the miscellaneous family really can't figure out what is the connection between this."

Hu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, teacher, do you think Father is confused? What is Zhao Yi?"

"If the father is going to make the eldest brother the crown prince, I will admit it if I do so, but why is Zhao Yi, I don't accept it!"

"Ah..." Zhao Yi, who was about to sneeze comfortably, opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't sneeze out.

"Damn, what's going on? Who missed me?" Zhao Yi couldn't feel the sneeze, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, Zhao Yi rubbed his nose hard, and was just about to go back to the inner room to sleep when the guard trotted in to report.

"My lord, Master Zhang Cang is here."

"Zhang Cang?" Zhao Yi had some impression of this name, Li Si's younger brother, a famous mathematician in the Qin Dynasty.

But in Zhao Yi's impression, he had never had any dealings with this Zhang Cang. Why did he come to him?

"You said why are you here? It's nothing, you can dismiss it!" Zhao Yi yawned and was about to go back to the inner room.

"My lord!" The steward hurriedly stopped Zhao Yi, "Just now there was news from the city that His Majesty has transferred Zhang Cang to the Cheqi General's Mansion, so..."

Zhang Cang was transferred to the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion, where he became his subordinate.

Now there are only servants in General Cheqi's mansion, and no one in charge. Zhang Cang must have gone to General Cheqi's mansion to find no one, so he came to Zhaozhuang. Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

Ying Zheng was really able to find trouble for himself. He didn't eat and drink enough, so he even appointed someone to come over for him.

He just didn't know if Zhang Cang was a spy sent by Ying Zheng, or he was here to make things difficult for him.

But no matter what, Zhang Cang was arranged by Ying Zheng, and when he came to his door, it was impossible to see him.

"Let him come in." Zhao Yi yawned and told the butler, and walked helplessly to the main hall, and the butler hurried down to deliver the message.

At this time, Zhang Cang, who was standing outside the gate of Zhaozhuang, was really angry.

His handover was too smooth, after finishing all the formalities, he found that it was still early, so he was going to go to Cheqi General's Mansion to have a look.

As a result, Nuo Da, a general who rides a car, doesn't even have a housekeeper in charge except for a few cleaning servants, let alone the general who rides a car, Zhao Yi.

From the mouths of several servants, Zhang Cang learned that Zhao Yi had never been to the Cheqi General's Mansion, which made Zhang Cang very angry.

Zhang Cang is a practical person. Even in the palace, what he does is the work of a librarian, but his meticulousness can often be heard even by Ying Zheng.

As a result, when he came here, seeing Zhao Yi's sloppy way of acting, Zhang Cang, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, suddenly couldn't bear his temper, and went straight to Zhaozhuang to sign up for a famous post.

After a lot of trouble, the housekeeper came, "Master Zhang, please come in, my lord!"

Zhang Cang snorted coldly, walked in quickly first, and soon saw Zhao Yi.

At this time, Zhao Yi was yawning one after another, completely turning a blind eye to Zhang Cang's arrival, which made Zhang Cang extremely annoyed, stepped forward and casually cupped his hands, and asked forcefully, "Why isn't His Highness the Ninth Prince in the Cheqi General's Mansion?"

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this tone, "I like it, what's the matter?"
