Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Imperial Power·==

"I traveled through time and space after I died of illness in my previous life... The meaning of time travel is to travel through time and space from the world I live in for various reasons, and suddenly go to another world, or travel from the future to the past. For example, one day you suddenly find yourself appearing In the Zhou Dynasty, Shang Dynasty or even the Xia Dynasty, or you suddenly appeared in the future from now on, or even appeared in another completely different world, it is time travel..."

"The first day I traveled, it was us..." Lin Qian pointed to Ying Zheng, and then to himself, "That day I thought I was dreaming before I died, or that God gave me a beautiful man, so I have no regrets I'm going to die. After all, I haven't met a person who fits my aesthetics so well in modern times..."

Ying Zheng's face darkened slightly.

Lin Qian snickered, and after a little revenge, the feeling of being persecuted in her heart became much better.

Then, she began to seriously introduce her golden finger: "First of all, I must explain that this golden finger... well, it is this plane trader that I can trade items with other worlds. It appeared suddenly. It was bound on the second day after I came here. I only know that it comes from a plane with a higher technological level. They put plane traders to other worlds to collect more species, which are not available in this world. Tao’s technology. More information about the owner behind the plane trader has not been disclosed by the customer service, and I have no way of knowing.”

Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian, but didn't take her cautiousness to heart.He captured a key word: "What is 'another world'?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment: "Our earth, the solar system, and the universe form a world of their own, while other worlds are other universes, another world. Two different worlds may have completely different customs, power systems, and even intelligent creatures."

"The earth is the land we step on. It is a huge sphere. The sun is also a sphere, and all the stars are also spheres."

Yingzheng's eyebrows twitched: Is the ground they are stepping on a ball? !

Lin Qian paused, and looked at him worriedly: "Ying Zheng, are you okay?"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath: "Ying Zheng?"

Lin Qian's eyes faltered: "Well, since you can hear my heartbeat, you should be used to it, right?"

Ying Zheng glanced at her again, but didn't deny it.

Lin Qian was relieved: "I'm still worried that you will not believe what I say because you are full of ghosts and ghosts."

Ying Zheng frowned: "The widow is not stupid. Since you have traveled from the future, you must know more than the widow."

Maybe you won't believe it completely, but you won't deny it completely.

After a pause, he suddenly thought of something, "I've been hearing you say that few people are superstitious before. What do you mean by superstition?"

Lin Qian: "...that, that is... believe in ghosts? The popularity of science and technology in the future world has basically confirmed that there are no such things as ghosts in this world. The ancients...well, just...future scientists believe that all Phenomena and anomalies that are incomprehensible today can actually be answered with scientific knowledge, and in the future, scientists will indeed use scientific knowledge to answer most of the questions. Therefore, people who still believe in religious gods are called... ... superstitious."

Upon hearing this explanation, Ying Zheng's face darkened immediately.

Lin Qian shrank back: "Well, I didn't know you heard it. I said at the time that you were superstitious and only described objective facts, and there was absolutely no malice. Those who don't know are innocent!"

"Those who don't know are innocent..." Ying Zheng's eyes twitched, "Are you talking about you, or the widow?"

"Ah, this..." Lin Qian glanced at him, "Of course I'm talking about myself, how could I talk about you, right?"

Ying Zheng sneered, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts.

However, he never fully believed Lin Qian's words in his heart, so he was too lazy to argue with Lin Qian: How could there be no gods?If it didn't exist, where did the myths and stories of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors come from?

He was unwilling to argue with Lin Qian on this unimportant issue: "What do you mean by technology and scientific knowledge?"

Lin Qian thought about it carefully, and gave an example: "It's like iron will turn red when heated, and steel can be refined by adding carbon and other materials. For example, ghost fire is the phosphorus in the bones that spontaneously ignites. Ice, why ships can float on water, why wheels can be dragged, why hybridization can increase crop yields, how to use machinery to replace manpower... These are all within the scope of scientific knowledge, and the mechanical products created by using scientific knowledge are called become a technology product."

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Lin Qian with a little more fiery eyes.

Lin Qian was flustered: "Well, these are the most basic knowledge of physics and chemistry. In our world, almost every child has to learn when they go to junior high school. Some even started to learn in elementary school, and they can do experiments independently. Inventing little things that improve life."

"But don't count on me. I spent most of my previous life lying on a hospital bed. I didn't receive a formal education. The knowledge I knew was all here and there, not systematic."

Ying Zheng thought of something, and suddenly his face darkened: "Can saltpeter make ice in summer?"

Lin Qian was at a loss and didn't understand why he singled out this point: "Yes, dissolving saltpeter in water will absorb a lot of heat energy in the water, which is equivalent to putting water outside in a icy and snowy place in winter, and of course it will freeze."

She was a little curious, "Why do you ask this question?"

Ying Zheng glanced at her: "Continue to talk about your plane trader. What does plane mean?"

Lin Qian was speechless: 【Is there anything you can't say?He must have been tricked by this little trick? 】

Ying Zheng looked at her.

Lin Qian decisively changed the subject: "In terms of planes, you can directly understand it as another world."

Ying Zheng was kind and generous: "How many worlds can your plane trader trade with?"

"The level is not enough, you can only trade with one world link."

"What kind of world is that?"

"The original plane, you can think of it as the world before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. There were no emperors, no princes, no cities and countries. People live together in the form of tribes. The level of civilization is not high. It is still a matrilineal society."

Ying Zheng was stunned again: "Matrilineal society?"

Lin Qian nodded: "It is a female-dominated social form. Although the current world has basically transitioned from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society, some remote places should still have the shadow of a matriarchal society? For example, the patriarch is a woman, and women make decisions. , the pillars of the family who keep their word are women..."

Ying Zheng frowned: "Will the future world be a patrilineal society or a matrilineal society?"

Lin Qian couldn't help but glanced at Ying Zheng again, her ability to accept was really strong: "It's neither a matriarchal society nor a patriarchal society, it's a society where men and women are equal, and it's also a society where everyone is equal and there are no classes such as emperors, kings, and nobles. society."

Ying Zheng subconsciously retorted: "Impossible!"

Lin Qian hesitated, and whispered: "You are the first emperor who created the feudal centralization system. Because this system is too stable, the feudal centralization system has even operated smoothly in this land for thousands of years, even if the dynasty changes. It does not affect the operation of this system. But at the same time, this system is too stubborn that it has not changed much for thousands of years. When other countries replace the backward system with a superior social system, the feudal centralization The system still exists, and develops to the highest peak, inhibits the development of society, and then..."

【We who fell behind were invaded, and even almost perished. 】

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian smiled: "Soon, the backward imperial power was overthrown by people with lofty ideals, and it was completely reduced to history."

Ying Zheng was silent.

Lin Qian didn't know what he was thinking, so she could only shut up.

Ying Zheng could see that what Lin Qian said was true, but it was precisely because it was true that it made people feel at a loss.

Lin Qian looked at him worriedly: "You don't have to worry. Productivity determines the relationship of production, and the relationship of production determines the nature of society. Under today's productivity, your centralized system is the most superior, and you don't have to worry about other things at all. Even if someone will attempt to overthrow the imperial power in the future, it will definitely not overthrow your family's imperial power."

[After all, before the imperial power is completely overthrown, your family's imperial power must have been overthrown by another imperial power long ago. 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

He was almost laughed at by Lin Qian.

However, Lin Qian still had a serious face, as if she really thought her consolation was very effective.

Lin Qian found that Ying Zheng's expression was wrong, and he couldn't help wondering: "Is there something wrong with what I said? History has already proved that this kind of family inheritance from father to son will not last long. The longest dynasty in history is the Zhou Dynasty. , but only ruled for 800 years, and the longest dynasty of centralized power only ruled for more than 400 years.”

Ying Zheng: "..."

==·Cooperation·==

Ying Zheng felt a little heartbroken, and changed the subject decisively: "No wonder you said before that everyone should be literate, and the widows allow women to join the army and serve as officials in the court. Because in your world, these are the most common things Bar?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Our country has a nine-year compulsory education system. Generally, every child will be sent to school when they reach the right age. Tuition and textbook fees are free, and they can basically afford to read. Education is the foundation of a country, and only when more people receive education will there be more senior talents capable of influencing the country and the world."

She scratched her face, "Although I have selfish intentions, our country has indeed proved that it is the most correct thing to allow women to participate in the construction of the country. This will not only increase the labor force by half, but also Half the talent available now."

Yingzheng suppressed his heart and was shocked: "How did you manage to let so many people study? Bamboo slips, writing brushes, and ink are all free of money? Reading and literacy is not easy. How can you send people to the school without checking their qualifications?" read?"

"Ah, because in the future, pens, inks, papers and inkstones can be mass-produced by machines made by science and technology, the price is not expensive, and the country will also simplify and implement the characters, and introduce pinyin to assist literacy, so literacy has become relatively simple. few."

Lin Qian realized the reason why Ying Zheng never thought about literacy——

The cost is too expensive!

She was stunned, a little disappointed and apologetic: "I just said it casually at the time, without considering the reality, I'm sorry..."

Ying Zheng shook his head, not paying attention.

He almost forgot the existence of the Plane Trader, but fell into deep thought because of the news revealed by Lin Qian.

Lin Qian only casually revealed the tip of the iceberg, but people can get a glimpse of the splendor and prosperity behind the country in her previous life. Even Ying Zheng, who considers himself number one in the Great Qin Dynasty, cannot help but be shocked by it.

He frantically wants to know what that world looks like, but he knows very clearly that it is not a good thing for him to know too much news about that world.

Ying Zheng almost used all his strength to restrain his curiosity.

but……

Ying Zheng originally valued Lin Qian's Plane Trader the most, but now he silently raised Lin Qian's importance above the Plane Trader.

It seems unreasonable to create a rift between Lin Qian and Lin Qian because of the plane trader.

Ying Zheng frowned, gave up his previous thoughts, and decided to take the initiative to help Lin Qian upgrade the trader: "You said before that the level is not enough, and you can only connect to one plane. How to upgrade?"

"Earn points by trading."

"How to earn?"

"Ordinary transactions, such as the high-yield grains I traded with the owner of another plane trader before, except for the first corn and potatoes that are traded, the points are higher, and the remaining corn and potatoes seem to be very expensive. Points, but pottery making crafts and recipes are worth points. After the former transaction, the plane trader took away the craft and gave me 150 points. I exchanged the latter with the method of making potato flour and got [-] points. .”

"How many points can be upgraded?"

"one thousand."

"How many points do you have now?"

"Ah, let me see..." Lin Qian opened the plane trader in front of Ying Zheng, "There are [191] points in total."

Ying Zheng glanced at the direction where Lin Qian's fingers touched, and there was nothing.

He suppressed his shock and focused on the points.

190 one?This is too little too.

Ying Zheng did the math, and found out that apart from the 180 points that Lin Qian had a clear source of, Lin Qian only earned a dozen points for the many corns and potatoes he got?If you only trade corn and potatoes, you may not be able to accumulate [-] points in your entire life.

But if the quantity is large enough, it is not impossible to operate...

He looked at Lin Qian: "How much corn and potatoes can you exchange from the owner of another plane trader?"

Lin Qian shook his head resolutely: "I can't exchange any of them. It's almost summer over there, and the potatoes and corn are almost gone."

And seasonal differences?

Ying Zheng frowned. If earning points purely by quantity won't work, then we can only see if we can find another technique like pottery making.

He thought for a while and asked, "Have you tried trading with silk?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "They don't need flowers, do they? They live by hunting and planting now, and they can't wear silk even if they get it? It's too easy to break!"

"Are they the most powerful tribe?"

"Probably not."

Hua mentioned before that pottery has already appeared in their world, but their tribe has not mastered this technology, so they trade pottery pots and pottery firing techniques from Lin Qian.

Ying Zheng nodded: "When a person has more power and wealth in his hands, a better and more luxurious life becomes his pursuit. The owner of another plane trader may not need such a flashy fabric like silk. Not necessarily."

Lin Qian was not in a hurry to upgrade. After all, even if she got in touch with the high-tech plane before she said it, she would have no way to get out the things she got through the transaction.

But Ying Zheng seemed in a hurry.

Lin Qian thought for a while, and tentatively said, "You want to contact another world? But what benefits can I get by doing this?"

Ying Zheng glanced at her: "What do you want?"

"I..." Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, realizing that she didn't seem to want anything.

The material level of this world is really too low. Even the conditions that Ying Zheng can enjoy are nothing to Lin Qian. She really doesn't know what she can want.

After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Otherwise, give me a title?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and agreed quite neatly: "Yes, after the potatoes grow, the widow will immediately confer you a Marquis, and give you permission to go to court to discuss politics."

Lin Qian: "!!!"

Although Qin's title is not of much use to him, but!This is a title after all!

Moreover, you can go to court!

Lin Qian immediately became excited, and she took the initiative to help Ying Zheng with ideas: "There are other things besides silk!"

"I remember that Hua's tribe still keeps records with knots and has never developed writing. I might be able to use writing to trade with them. In addition to writing, I remember that their planting technology is still at the stage of slash-and-burn farming. The planting in my mind Technology can also be traded with them, and some weapons such as bows and arrows can also be traded!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ying Zheng: "Shall I try it now?"

Naturally, Ying Zheng would not stop him.

Lin Qian immediately turned on the plane trader and sent a voice message to Hua. Coincidentally, Hua was also going to find her: "I remember you mentioned spring potatoes before, can we plant them now?"

Lin Qian immediately replied: "Of course!"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "Were you talking to the other party just now?"

Lin Qian nodded.

"Why can't the widow hear? And can't see anything?"

"This seems to be the shielding system that comes with the plane trader. When I talk to Hua, Lin Mo can't hear Hua's voice and can't see the plane trader."

Ying Zheng frowned, this kind of thing beyond his control made him a little annoyed.

Suddenly, his eyes sting.

Ying Zheng snorted and subconsciously covered his eyes.

Lin Qian didn't notice his abnormality, and was still talking to Hua: "By the way, Hua, I remember you said before that if you want a pottery pot, you need to go to another big tribe to exchange it?"

"Yup?"

"Does the big tribe have cloth?"

"Yes, although it is not warm and practical to look at, but it looks good when you wear it, so you need ten pottery pots or twenty packets of salt to change a piece of clothing. It is so expensive!"

"I have some better-looking cloth here, which can be exchanged with the big tribe, do you need it?"

"I want it!" Hua was so pleasantly surprised, "I will trade with you for whatever you want! Our tribe is going to trade with the big tribe recently, and I was worried that we didn't have enough furs in our hands, so we couldn't exchange too many. Salt, it would be great to have cloth!"

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng: "If you want flowers, ask me what kind of deal I will use."

Ying Zheng let go of his hand and was about to speak, when a strange box suddenly occupied all his field of vision: the box was covered with dense black, white and gray dots, and they were still flashing, making people feel confused. faint.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, but it was empty.

Lin Qian took a step back in fright: "Ying Zheng, what are you doing???"

==·Upgrade·==

Ying Zheng tried his best to ignore the box, and looked down to Lin Qian's face: "What's in their world?"

Lin Qian observed carefully for a while, and found that Ying Zheng's attitude was as usual, so he was relieved: "Compared with our world, their world should have rich resources, and it seems that there is only one continent, and all kinds of earth species can be found in their world .”

"Earth species?"

"That's right," Lin Qian remembered that he forgot to explain, "Such species as corn and potatoes actually exist on Earth, in America on the other side of the ocean. Of course, because they have not been domesticated, the production of corn and potatoes at this time may not be as good as ours. Indigenous grains."

But there are.

Ying Zheng learned a new piece of news——

There is another piece of land on the other side of the ocean, and it sounds like it is rich and fertile.

He asked calmly: "Is there any chance for us to go to America?"

Lin Qian shook his head: "Maybe... yes? The continent we are in is called the Eurasian continent. Although there is an endless ocean between us and America, there is a strait at the northern end of Yan Kingdom. It’s far away, and you can go to America by crossing over. But unfortunately, I don’t know the map, and the further north you go, the colder the climate, and if you get lost and miss the season, you will be very likely to freeze to death.”

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed.

But he didn't reveal half a point, and instead asked: "Can I exchange for more edible seeds from another trader owner?"

After a pause, Ying Zheng added, "For example, other grains."

Lin Qian couldn't help muttering: "There are only a few high-yield grains, and now the only thing I haven't found is sweet potatoes. It's really a good thing, but they spent more than half a year looking for it last year and couldn't find it."

Ying Zheng remembered the sweet potato's name.

After thinking about it, he said, "Then iron ore, copper ore, animal fur, etc., as long as they have it, they can be considered."

Lin Qian realized that he wanted to get all the points as soon as possible.

She was also unambiguous, and immediately told Hua about her request.

Hua is even more happy. Although she doesn't know what iron ore and copper ore are, she has a lot of animal fur in her hand.

After a while, she teleported directly to Lin Qian.

Then, Ying Zheng watched helplessly, Lin Qian put her hands on the low couch, and after a while, a pile of animal fur appeared under her hands.

Roughly counting, there are at least a hundred furs, and all of them are complete beast furs.

Ying Zheng's eyes instantly became dark.

He was about to speak when the strange square frame began to dangle in front of his eyes again.

Ying Zheng controlled his temper and tried to distinguish for a while before he realized that the box was actually floating above Lin Qian's head.

What the hell is this?

Just as he was thinking, Lin Qian said, "Your Majesty, the flower has already sent the fur, and the silk..."

Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and after looking at the fur on the low couch, he directly asked someone to come in to clean it up, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask someone to fetch a piece of silk and hand it to Lin Qian.

Gong'e, who came in to tidy up, saw the fur, although she was very curious in her heart, she tidied up the fur very carefully and quietly exited the main hall.

Ying Zheng urged, "Give the silk to another person for a try."

When he said this, his eyes kept staring at the top of Lin Qian's head.

Lin Qian touched his head subconsciously, but found nothing, so he just scanned the silk and sent it to Hua, thinking that Ying Zheng was distracted.

After the transaction was completed, she almost couldn't wait to open the main panel: "Your Majesty, the points have skyrocketed by three hundred!"

Lin Qian couldn't help asking him for another piece of cloth.

Ying Zheng did not refuse, and immediately ordered someone to bring the silk over.

But just like the others except the first seed were not worth much points, the second piece of cloth that Lin Qian traded with Hua only increased by a pathetic five points.

Ying Zheng reminded: "Text!"

Lin Qian nodded, and asked Hua if she needed to learn characters.

Hua naturally has no reason to be unwilling.

It's just that she doesn't have much to trade with Lin Qian anymore. After discussing with Lin Qian, she decided to use some corn and their unique plants to trade with Lin Qian first, and then use the potatoes, sweet potatoes and various ores they want later. compensate.

Lin Qian wanted to upgrade, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.

So soon, the two parties made a deal including farming skills, loom making methods, writing, etc.

Surprisingly, farming skills didn't get too many points, and the looms that specialize in weaving silk didn't get too many points. On the contrary, Lin Qian's words that he didn't have much hope for got a staggering 800 points——

It's almost a credit for every word.

After getting the points, together with the previous points directly exceeding [-], Lin Qian can immediately rise from the lowest F rank to E rank.

Lin Qian looked at the words [upgrade] followed by the points, held her breath excitedly and clicked up.

Then, the points were instantly reduced by [-], and the F after the level became E.

Lin Qian turned her head happily, and was about to announce the good news to Ying Zheng, when he saw him covering his eyes with an extremely painful expression.She panicked at once: "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands, waited for a while, seemed to be getting used to the sudden pain, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he saw...

Inside the box above Lin Qian's head, the original black, white and gray dots flickered violently, followed by...

Ok?

Two fat dolls with two heads replaced the ?

If you look carefully, you will find that one of the two fat dolls is dressed almost exactly like Lin Qian, and even looks very much like Lin Qian when he was a child.

As for the other...

Like, it's me?

Ying Zheng took a closer look, and found that the two fat dolls on top of Lin Qian's head shrunk as the frame shrunk, and quickly disappeared from his field of vision, and he couldn't find a trace: "..."

He subconsciously clenched the sword, and if he hadn't been worried about Lin Qian, he would have almost subconsciously slashed at it.

Lin Qian was completely unaware of what had happened to Ying Zheng, seeing his body tense, she couldn't help but look at him worriedly.

Ying Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't say much with a sullen face.

Lin Qian was worried and speechless. When she saw his mouth closed like a clamshell, she almost wanted to reach out to help him open it, so that he would not say anything to make people worry.

She didn't know, just as the image of her opening Ying Zheng's mouth flashed through her mind, a square frame and two fat dolls suddenly appeared above her head.Then Lin Qian, who was on both ends, turned around and grabbed the chubby cheeks of Ying Zheng, who was on both ends, and stretched out his hands to tear his mouth out.

Ying Zheng, who took this scene into his eyes: "..."

Lin Qian: "???"

[No, Ying Zheng, what's wrong with you?Accepting too much information, the brain...is the card owner? 】

Ying Zheng glanced at the box——

The trumpet Lin Qian was poking the trumpet Ying Zheng's head with eyes full of curiosity.

Ying Zheng: "???"

==·Chinese New Year·==

Time flies, and the New Year is coming soon.

The potatoes sent to Shu County have all sprouted, and now they have been sent to the people who were seriously affected by the disaster.

Every commoner strictly followed Lin Qian's reminder. When cutting potatoes, they would count the number of buds on them repeatedly, and then they would cut the potatoes cautiously——

Taicang has said that if the potatoes can grow from the ground before the Chinese New Year, they will have a good and full year this year.

Can have a good year, who would want to spend the New Year hungry?

So even though everyone doesn't quite believe what Taicang said, this unseen soil bump is a high-yielding grain seed, they still treat potatoes as if they are treating the most precious treasure, and then loosen the soil, fertilize, and even more It is to act strictly according to Taicang's instructions, and dare not be sloppy.

After the potatoes are buried in the ground, the common people can't wait to go to the ground to see it four or five times a day.

However, the potato seedlings just don't show up.

……

Hu Zhong is the second child in the family. He is 40 years old this year. Because his family is poor, he did not marry his wife until he was in his 30s.His mother-in-law just gave him a fat son the year before last, and just before the earthquake this year, she gave him a fat daughter. The family's life is getting better and better.

He even saved some money, and wanted to ask the head of the village who could read and write to help him choose a nice name for the two children.

Who knew that an earthquake would cause the house to collapse, the money to disappear, and the children who had been raised in vain to lose weight.

But what worries Hu Zhong the most is the woman who was hit by an earthquake just after giving birth.She hasn't given birth yet, and the chickens raised at home to lay eggs, as well as the eggs saved before, are all gone.

How can I maintain a healthy body without food?

Hu Zhong has been so anxious recently that his mouth is bubbling, and he even wants to boldly go to the mountains to catch some prey and come back to nourish his mother-in-law.

At this time, Taicang came.

He also brought potatoes.

Not only that, Xu Shi is very confident in potatoes, and he even told the local sheriff that he can let the people living in hardships advance part of the grain.

Hu Zhong was the first to advance payment.

After he brought the food back, his mother-in-law finally had a full meal. Not only did her complexion improve, but the little girl who was crying from hunger also had food other than soup.

Because of this, Hu Zhong looks at the potatoes in the field like a heart-warming child. Others have to go to the field to look at them four or five times a day. Fortunately, he lives in the field. Except for cooking at home every day, it is rare go back.

Therefore, he also became the first person to discover potato sprouts.

It was early in the morning that day, when Hu Zhonggang found that the potatoes sprouted in his field, he couldn't wait to cry out in surprise, and directly alarmed the nearby village chiefs, and they came to his field together.

After Taicang heard the news and came to check, he immediately asked the government to give him enough rations for a family of three.

Seeing this, the others became more and more concerned about the potatoes in the field.

And just after that, the potatoes in other people's fields also sprouted seedlings one after another.

Taicang also kept his promise, and immediately asked the sheriff to distribute enough food to each of them so that they could live a good year.

Lin Qian didn't know the changes her potatoes had brought to Shu County. She was trying to get Ying Zheng's permission, hoping to go out of the palace to watch the excitement during the two days of New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year.

Ying Zheng didn't refuse at first, he even agreed to the matter readily, and even sent Meng Tian to her side——

There are many people during Chinese New Year, accidents are easy to happen, Meng Yi is no more experienced than Meng Tian after all.

But just the day before New Year's Eve, Li Si and others hurried into the palace to ask Ying Zheng to see something serious happened to Zhao Guo.

……

Ying Zheng originally wanted to send troops to attack Zhao in September, but had to change the time because of the sudden earthquake in Shu County.

He was pretty disappointed—

After all, missing that good opportunity not only affected morale, but also gave Zhao Guo more time to deal with internal affairs.

In terms of normal development, this is indeed the case.

It's like it took Qin State less than a month to appease the disaster victims in Shu County.Ying Zheng thought, no matter how incompetent King Zhao is, this extra month can at least ease some of the conflicts in the country, right?

But this is not the case. Another month has passed, and the conflicts in Zhao's country have not been alleviated, but have intensified instead.

I heard that many nobles of the Zhao Kingdom were killed by the starving people who thought they could no longer survive.

The death of nobles was a major event, and Zhao Guo immediately exploded.

Just at this time, Qin State's method of dealing with the earthquake gave them a reference, so King Zhao hurriedly expropriated the food stored in the nobles' homes, and tried to appease the people who were about to riot like Ying Zheng.

As a result, he was almost assassinated by the extremely disappointed and angry people.

King Zhao was so frightened that he hid himself in the capital, not daring to come forward again.

But how can the grain collected by Zhao Wangqiang be enough for the common people?What's more, on the way to send food to various places, there are still many nobles who suffered serious losses and were forcibly expropriated.

Disaster relief to appease the people?It's right to anger the people!

……

At this time, Prince Dan of Yan fled back to the Kingdom of Yan.

And not long after, the news that Qin Guo found a high-yielding grain seed with an output of [-] catties per mu was spread to other countries following his return to China.

He failed to take away the corn himself, but he tried to force Qin to hand over the corn, or he hoped that other countries would find a way to get corn from Qin, and then trade it from other people.

The purpose of Yan Taizi Dan has indeed been achieved.

Just after he ordered people to spread the news to all countries, all the countries were indeed moved by corn, and it was rare to even work together to get grain seeds from Qin.

However, limited by the strict household registration system of Qin State, they had no way to send new people to Qin State after they wrote to Ying Zheng to ask for corn and were rejected. They could only use the forces that had been lurking in Qin State before.

Among them, the person with the most important status and the closest to the corn is in Yingzheng's harem.

Not necessarily concubines, but also maids and servants in the palace.

but……

Almost all of these people were caught by the guards who had been prepared as soon as they approached the warehouse where the corn was stored.

Then Yingzheng followed the vine and directly pulled out the spies buried in Xianyang Palace from all over the world. Even if the empress and concubine were implicated, they would not be relentless.

After these people fell from their horses, the remaining forces could hardly make waves anymore.

Ying Zheng ordered the captured spies to be beheaded for public display.

This undoubtedly angered the spies outside the palace, so in a short period of time, there were no less than ten assassinations in Xianyang City.

But without exception, all failed and were arrested.

Only then did the rest of the spies realize that everything that happened now was a trap set by King Qin Yingzheng.They immediately packed up their things and wanted to escape, but when they left the city, they were directly arrested by the soldiers who arrived.

The spies planted by various countries in Qin State were almost wiped out.

……

Under such circumstances, Ying Zheng would never dare to let Lin Qian leave the palace.
