Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Assassin·==

Ever since he talked to Lin Qian, Ying Zheng hasn't felt so heartbroken for a long time.

He looked at Lin Qian, his eyes were full of anger.

Lin Qian didn't react at all at first, but when she looked up and found that Ying Zheng was looking at her with a rather unsightly expression, she finally realized that she had just said something terrible in her heart because she was too excited.

King Qin walked around the pillar...

Lin Qian swished her head down, not daring to meet Ying Zheng's eyes again.

Ying Zheng was really angry and wanted to laugh, but fortunately, after Lin Qian's mood was interrupted, the "chasing" picture floating above her head finally stopped and disappeared soon.

Ying Zheng calmed down, and turned to look at Meng Jia: "Do you know who the person who presented the map and the head of Fan Yuqi is?"

Meng Jia didn't doubt it, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It seems that there are two people from the country of Yan, one is Jing Ke, and the other is Qin Wuyang. It seems that they are not from the country of Yan, but the servants of Crown Prince Ji Dan of Yan."

Ying Zheng didn't know who Qin Wuyang was, but Jing Ke?

Before telling Lin Qian, the name Jing Ke had appeared more than once.

Ying Zheng was deeply impressed.

His eyebrows twitched, and the thought of Fan Yuqi's head and Yan Guodukang's map actually gave him no joy at all.

Wei Liao and Meng Jia looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts——

Why did His Majesty seem to lose interest after hearing the names of these two people?

[Could it be that the identities of these two people are different? 】

Wei Liao frowned, and decided to order someone to investigate carefully after returning later.

Ying Zheng thought of going together with him: "Meng Tian, ​​order someone to investigate the identities, backgrounds and experiences of Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang. If there is nothing unusual, I will summon them again."

After the imperial court was over, Lin Qian followed Zhisu Neishi to the government office uneasy.

She is fine when she is distracted by work, but once she has free time, Lin Qian can't help but recall Ying Zheng's indescribable expression when she was in the meeting hall.

Lin Qian: Why do you think there is no switch in the human brain, which can be turned off directly when people don't want to think wildly?

Now it's all right, it's okay to leak the news of Jing Ke's assassination in advance, but when she thinks about it, she's in a good mood...

Lin Qiansheng was lying on the desk table without love, no more worldly desires.

Lin Mo looked at her worriedly: "Mother Qian, are you not feeling well? Are you still tired? Do you want to ask for leave and go back to the palace to see the imperial doctor?"

Lin Qian regained consciousness in an instant, got up and picked up the official documents to read: "It's nothing, just a little restless in my heart."

"Really okay?"

"fine."

Lin Mo felt relieved when he saw that her expression was normal.

However, Lin Qian let out a long sigh in his heart before he really immersed himself in the official documents.

……

In the evening, Lin Qian returned to the palace.

Before stepping into the gate of the palace, the guard at the gate stepped forward: "Mrs. Lin, Your Majesty told you to go see him immediately after returning to the palace."

Lin Qian: "..."

She took a deep breath, turned her head and let Lin Mo go back to the side hall, while she walked towards the main hall with the mentality of "the strong man is gone forever".

Lin Mo: "... Niang Qian, are you really okay?"

Lin Qian was about to cry, but she still raised her smiling face and turned her head to comfort her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty must have something serious to discuss with me. You can eat dinner by yourself first, I might not be able to eat at His Majesty's place."

Even if she didn't eat at Yingzheng's place, she probably wouldn't have much appetite for dinner.

Ugh……

One misstep becomes eternal hatred.

Facts once again prove that watching other people's jokes is bad.

Especially Ying Zheng's!

……

As soon as Lin Qian stepped into the gate of the main hall, Meng Yi at the gate stepped forward and closed the gate.

With a "bang", Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Ying Zheng raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Why, didn't you expect to see the 'famous scene' of 'King Qin walking around the pillar'?"

Lin Qian wanted to cry: "Well, I really didn't mean it."

Ying Zheng gave her a sideways glance: "Come here!"

Lin Qian paused and subconsciously took a step back.

Ying Zheng was almost laughed at by her: "You stand there and don't move, is it because there is gold at the door?"

Lin Qian walked up to Ying Zheng with a sad face.

Ying Zheng was full of anger at first, but his gaze moved up unintentionally——

In the square frame above Lin Qian's head, two small people with two heads stood facing each other. The small Lin Qian looked slumped, with an air of unloveliness in his whole body, while the small Ying Zheng's eyes were It disappeared directly and turned into two blazing flames.

Immediately afterwards, the trumpet Lin Qian knelt down with a "plop", and tears burst out like a fountain.

[Woooooo... I was wrong! 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

Forget it.

Ying Zheng rubbed the center of his brows, and lost his temper directly by the scene.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and patted the cushion opposite: "Don't worry, if the widow is shouting for such a trivial matter, when you mentioned the phrase 'Qin II died' many times before, the widow would have already said You were killed."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was helpless, but he didn't seem to be angry, Lin Qian was finally relieved.

She stepped forward in twos and threes, with her legs together, her hands drooping naturally, and she knelt and sat opposite Ying Zheng very obediently.But the little person on top of her head jumped up from the ground, and gnawed a few mouthfuls while hugging the chubby face of the small Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng: "..."

He was not surprised at all.

……

After adjusting his mood, Ying Zheng asked, "Tell me, what happened to Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin?"

Lin Qian corrected his attitude and made up his mind to know everything and talk endlessly: "There are several versions of the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, but it is not recorded in the historical records. He committed a crime in the country and fled to the country of Yan, and Prince Ji Dan of Yan took him in, even though his Taifu Ju Wu persuaded him, he couldn't change his mind."

"Later Qin State conquered Zhao State and stationed troops in Zhongshan. Crown Prince Dan of Yan was frightened. He was worried that Qin State would attack Yan State. In addition, he had resentment towards you, so he invited Jing Ke, who had been eating and drinking for a long time, to assassinate him. you."

"Jing Ke proposed to present the map of Dukang and Fan Yuqi's head, in order to get a chance to meet you."

"He took the initiative to persuade Fan Yuqi, and Yan Taizi Dan found the sharpest dagger in the world, poisoned it, and hid it in the map of Dukang. As long as you open it in front of you, you can take out the dagger Assassinate you."

Ying Zheng frowned: "Hiding in Dukang's map?"

Lin Qian nodded seriously: "This is recorded in the history books."

"And then?" Ying Zheng looked at her, "How did this assassination fail?"

Lin Qian's expression instantly became awkward: "Well, I personally suggest that it is better for Your Majesty not to know the follow-up."

At the same time, the previous scene of "King Qin walking around the pillar" appeared again on her head.

The only difference between the two scenes is that this time there is no little Lin Qian sneaking around.

Ying Zheng: "???"

He doesn't believe in evil, so he must listen.

Then, Lin Qian told Ying Zheng that Jing Ke took out a dagger to assassinate him. He clearly wore a long sword but failed to draw it out to fight back because he was eager to escape. In the scene of "walking around the pillar", the ministers were also unable to block it because Qin Lv could not carry weapons into the palace. In the end, the ministers reminded "the king bears the sword" and successfully pulled out the sword and cut off Jing Ke's left leg, preventing the attack with their own hands. Assassinate.

Ying Zheng: "..."

Ying Zheng took a deep breath, took another breath, and took another breath...

No, he wants to draw his sword and kill Jing Ke! ! !

Ying Zheng got up instantly, drew his sword and rushed to the gate.

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, nothing has happened now, you will be criticized for killing people for no reason!"

Ying Zheng returned rationally and stopped in his tracks.

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't want Ying Zheng to pick up the sword and return to his seat, turn around and pick up a silk cloth, and wipe the sword slowly and gently.

Although he had no expression on his face, Lin Qian was so frightened that his skin got goosebumps.

Lin Qian: "..."

A moment of silence for Jing Ke!

After Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang arrived in Xianyang, they did not meet King Qin as soon as expected.

Jing Ke is okay, he can hold his breath.

But Qin Wuyang was a cowardly guy, and it was only because of his high martial arts skills that Prince Yan Ji Dan recruited him to cooperate with Jing Ke.He didn't agree with Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, and he was even more afraid of King Qin Yingzheng. He felt guilty before everything went well, but now he found that things didn't go as they expected, and he panicked all at once.

That is to say, Jing Ke's complexion did not change, so Qin Wuyang could barely persevere, otherwise he would have run away long ago.

However, Jing Ke couldn't help frowning after realizing that Qin Wuyang was in a bad mood.

Such a cowardly person can really cooperate with him to assassinate King Qin?He was not even as calm and bold as the usual attendants he brought.

As soon as the time waited, half a month passed.

After some investigation, Meng Tian quickly found out the identities and past experiences of Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang.

As Lin Qian said, Jing Ke was originally from the Kingdom of Wei, and because he was invited by Prince Yan Ji Dan to visit him personally, and fed him with food and drink for a long time, he would be happy when Ji Dan wanted to invite him to Qin to assassinate Ying Zheng. Go; and Qin Wuyang is a relatively famous warrior in the country of Yan, and also one of Ji Dan's retainers.

Their identities are all matched, and Jing Ke's assassination of Qin is almost inseparable.

……

On this day, Ying Zheng finally ordered Jing Ke to be summoned.

Even though he already knew that the two had bad intentions, Ying Zheng followed the original plan to meet Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang at the court ceremony.

Lin Qian originally thought that since Ying Zheng already knew that there was a poisoned dagger hidden in Du Kang's map, he should order someone to open the map and check it when the two of them entered the palace, and then someone would seize the stolen goods and arrest him on the spot Live and kill.

But I don't know if Ying Zheng was so angry with his "black history" that he didn't let anyone check the map at all.

Like history, Jing Ke appeared in front of Ying Zheng holding a map——

Fan Yuqi's head was handed over to Meng Jia early in the Qin Dynasty because it took too long to cut it off.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jing Ke opened the brocade box containing the map, took out the map, and slowly opened the map in front of Ying Zheng.

Suddenly, a metallic reflection flashed.

Jing Ke immediately grabbed the dagger and was about to stab Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng, who was supposed to cut off his robe, was unmoved, but when he was about to stab his throat, he drew his sword with his backhand and cut off Jing Ke's head instantly.

Blood splattered, staining Ying Zheng's black robe even blacker.

Drops of blood slipped from his eyelashes, and he looked like a Shura, making people daunting.

Dang-

The dagger fell on the bluestone slab, making a piercing sound, which woke up everyone in the hall.

== · Cut Yan · ==

Qin Wuyang met Ying Zheng's gaze in horror, and immediately his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

Lin Qian had seen Ying Zheng's appearance at this time, and her eyes were slightly darkened. She was worried that she would faint again, but she didn't expect to be frightened by Qin Wuyang's fainting voice, and instantly stabilized her mind.

【It's amazing, I didn't faint! 】

The entire hall was silent, and there was not even the slightest heartbeat because of the accident. Hearing this heartbeat suddenly, Ying Zheng immediately turned his head to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian couldn't help swallowing when he met Shang Yingzheng's gaze.

Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, she could no longer conjure up the picture of "King Qin walking around the pillar" in her mind, and she was in a daze.

But miraculously, she didn't feel scared.

Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian, raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Meng Tian: "Take him down!"

The others seemed to have finally reacted at this time, their complexions turned pale immediately, and they all rushed towards Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, are you injured?"

"Is His Majesty in danger? That Yan Crown Prince Ji Dan has evil intentions, really hateful!"

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has arrived, please show him quickly!"

……

Lin Qian has been staring at him and Ying Zheng ever since Jing Ke came to the palace. He didn't miss any reaction between the two of them. None of Ying Zheng's hairs were hurt.

But she was too nervous at the time, and she was worried whether she was wrong.

After all, the dagger in Jing Ke's hand was poisoned, and any cut of the skin could be life-threatening.

Lin Qian also ran to Ying Zheng's side.

Other runners such as Wang Wan and Li Si, who ran fast, retreated knowingly when they saw Lin Qian approaching, allowing her to appear beside Ying Zheng.

The imperial doctor also came, feeling the pulse of Ying Zheng.

Lin Qian took out the handkerchief around her waist and carefully wiped away the blood spattered on her face and neck.

[It's okay, it's okay, the skin is intact, without any scars. 】

Ying Zheng couldn't help but glance at Lin Qian.

Her face was full of inaction and worry, and even the trumpet Lin Qian above her head was holding the trumpet Ying Zheng at this time, with a face full of fear.

He paused, reached out and patted Lin Qian's hand.

Before Lin Qian could respond, the imperial doctor said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is no wound on your body, and your body is as healthy as ever."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Ying Zheng's face was normal, and he didn't seem to be affected by the changes just now, all the ministers returned to their positions.Just thinking about the scene just now, I am still full of fear and anger.

Li Si immediately took the lead and said: "This thief just died like this. It's really cheap for him. It's time to crack his car!"

The others were angry and didn't give in too much, wishing they could beat Jing Ke to death.

As for the instigator of all this, Crown Prince Ji Dan of Yan, was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Qin State, and he wished that he could be arrested and sent to the Qin State immediately, and he would be executed in a chariot.

Listening to their indignant discussion, Ying Zheng raised his eyelids: "Okay, be quiet!"

Everyone raised their heads and fell silent after meeting Ying Zheng's gaze.

Ying Zheng twitched his lips: "Since Crown Prince Dan of Yan dared to send someone to assassinate the widow, the widow should reciprocate one or two. I originally planned to wait for the spring plowing before attacking Yan, but now it seems that it is too late. Everyone Discuss and see when it is more appropriate to send troops?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately regained their spirits.

In the farming era, there are generally two times to avoid when fighting wars. One is the most important spring plowing in a year, and the other is autumn harvest, which is related to the year's harvest.

Because Lin Qian had brought out sweet potatoes and cotton, two other crops that were crucial to people's livelihood, this year's spring plowing was naturally the top priority, so no one in Qin State had any plans to use force before spring plowing.

Who would have thought that Crown Prince Dan of Yan would dare to tease a tiger's beard at such a time?

Normal people can't figure out his brain circuit.

Lin Qian couldn't figure it out either.

In the past, she couldn’t figure it out when she read history books, and even more so when she read novels. When she traveled to the Warring States Period and experienced a war herself, she was completely incapable of understanding the brain circuit of Yan Taizi Dan——

Yes, it is possible for the State of Qin to attack the State of Yan, but apart from the newly destroyed South Korea and Zhao, aren't there still several countries?

Not to mention that the failure of the assassination will definitely anger Ying Zheng, causing Qin State to immediately send troops to attack Yan State; even if Jing Ke succeeds in this assassination, Ying Zheng is not without sons. Didn't he immediately send troops to attack Yan to avenge his father?

Every move of the prince of a country can completely represent the country of Yan. The assassination led by him is essentially different from the assassination of other people, and the impact it brings is much worse than other assassinations.

What is this picture?

Do you feel uncomfortable living in fear, so you hand over the excuse to Qin to send troops, and want Qin to destroy Yan quickly?

……

Soon, the assassination of Yingzheng spread throughout the state of Qin as Jing Ke was dismembered and paraded in the street, and Qin Wuyang was taken to the vegetable market and cut in half in front of everyone. All the people were aroused by this incident. , the desire to enlist in the army immediately to participate in the attack on Yan State is at an all-time high.

Ying Zheng, Wang Wan, Li Si and others also conducted in-depth discussions based on details such as the number of troops to be dispatched, the time, and the supply of food and grass. In about half a month, Wang Jian, who was stationed in Zhongshan, received the news that Qin State was about to send more soldiers and ordered Its order to lead troops to attack Yan State.

Wang Jian has recruited the Daibei Army, and is currently dismantling it into other teams.

This is not particularly difficult, after all, Daibei Army has long been used to fighting, and the treatment of soldiers in Qin State has always been good, so there is no need for them to refuse.

Of course, the most important thing is that their army cannot be dispersed——

The Huns were still watching the border. If there was no force to deter them, many of the people along the border might not survive this winter.

When Wang Jian received the order, he was leading the reorganized army to fight against the Xiongnu who went south to plunder the people. The whole army was at its most enthusiastic.

After receiving the order, he hardly gave Yan Guo time to react, and immediately discussed the battle plan with Li Xin and other generals——

Li Xin, who is good at winning by surprise, and Qiang Yan, who is brave in battle, stayed in Daidi, each leading an army to defend against the attack of the Huns, while he and another general Xin Sheng led troops to attack the neighboring Yan State.

Because the military of Yan State is not strong, and there are no famous generals, Wang Jian and others didn't even formulate a too detailed battle plan. The two of them led the soldiers straight into the hinterland of Yan State like a long sword, and went straight to the capital of Yan State. and go.

It was not until near Yishui in Yan State that King Xi of Yan, who got the news, hurriedly sent troops to intercept it.

There is almost no suspense in this war.

However, in just half a month, the soldiers led by Wang Jian and Xin Sheng defeated the soldiers of Yan State in Yishui, and then they led the army straight to Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.

Yan Wangxi got the news early and ran away with Prince Dan and others.

Wang Jian returned home with a big victory.

But at this time, spring plowing was about to take place in the country, and Wang Jian could only temporarily stop his pursuit after seeking Yingzheng's opinion.

==·Spring Plowing·==

Seeing that spring plowing was imminent, Qin State, which had no intention of mobilizing troops, suddenly launched an attack on Yan State, and defeated Yan State's army at a speed that made people completely unresponsive, took down the capital of Yan State, and directly beat everyone One was caught off guard.

People in other countries were shocked: there was no warning before!

This is before spring plowing!

Spring plowing!

Don't you all default to a truce at this time?What exactly do you Qin want to do?Can it be better? !

But soon, after Wang Jian took the capital of Yan State, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. Instead, he sent most of the soldiers back to the country to work on spring farming. The news spread to other countries.

The ministers of Chu, Wei and other countries couldn't figure it out. What are you doing?

You say that Qin State cares about spring plowing. People suddenly sent troops to attack Yan State before spring plowing, and took many cities along the way. The soldiers fled.

But if you want to say that Qin State doesn’t pay much attention to spring plowing, they didn’t take advantage of the low morale of King Yan and the crown prince leaving the capital and fleeing the capital to take Yan State in one step. Instead, they directly ordered gold to withdraw troops and sent most of the soldiers back. The state of Qin is busy with spring plowing.

At once……

Unspeakably weird.

People from other countries were not stupid, and immediately realized that there must be something behind this, so they ordered people to go to Qin to inquire.

So it didn't take long for everyone to know the reason——

The fugitive Crown Prince Dan of Yan was worried that Qin State would attack Yan State, so he wanted to prevent this from happening by letting an assassin assassinate King Qin Yingzheng. I heard that the assassin named Jing Ke really saw King Qin, and He brought the weapon to the Qin State's deliberative hall.

other people:"……"

I really don't know how to evaluate Yan Taizi Dan as a better person, and Yan Wangxi, who agreed to Yan Taizi Dan's plan, makes people wonder how to complain.

But knowing that there was a reason for Qin to send troops against common sense, other countries were also relieved and no longer paid attention to Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan.

The state of Qin does not know the reaction of other countries.

After taking the capital of Yan State, most of the soldiers of Qin State returned to their hometowns and began to work on spring plowing.

With the planting of corn twice and potatoes three times, the number of corn and potato seeds in Qin State has reached an astonishing amount. Except for places where the soil and climate are not very suitable for planting corn and potatoes, most of the people have got potatoes and corn. Seed.

When everyone thinks of the yield of corn and potatoes, no matter how hard and tiring they are at work, they all have smiles on their faces.

And Lin Qian is busy working on sweet potatoes and cotton.

Because he has never been out before, Zhi Su Neishi specially assigned her and Sun Taicang to be in charge of the promotion of sweet potatoes and cotton this year.

Lin Qian had no objection.

Sun Taicang was a little awkward at the beginning, but after getting along along the way, his attitude towards Lin Qian gradually returned to the previous one.

The two entered into more detailed discussions on the promotion and planting of cotton and sweet potatoes, and finally unanimously decided that the cotton will be planted in Yingchuan County, while the sweet potatoes will be directly kept in Berkshire, which was planted before.

Because spring sweet potatoes are only planted in April and May, Lin Qian and Sun Taicang first went to Yingchuan County to promote cotton planting.

……

Lin Qian doesn't know much about cotton, but with the No. [-] host, she can handle all of Sun Taicang's problems—

After several months of cloth trading, the second host earned a lot of gold from Lin Qian and accumulated a lot of capital, so his attitude towards her became much more kind.

However, the other party is still very defensive, and has not exchanged names with Lin Qian so far.

This time when Lin Qian came out, it was not convenient to receive the goods, so he could only stop the business that had almost become a long-term transaction between the two parties.

She also asked the second host if stopping buying cloth would affect him.

Unexpectedly, the second host didn't take it seriously at all: "Don't worry, I can trade with other worlds besides you."

Seeing what he said, Lin Qian was relieved.

But before leaving, she traded a large amount of cotton and linen coarse cloth with the second host and sold them in the shop in Xianyang, so that the shop would not run out of supply.

After all, those high-quality and cheap cloths have long been famous, not only the people of Xianyang, but businessmen from other counties and counties also came to Xianyang to purchase a lot of cloths and sell them back.That is to say, the weather has gotten warmer recently, and the people's demand for warmth is no longer as high as in the past, so they no longer purchase cloth, but those printed cloths are also in short supply.

This time, most of what Lin Qian bought from the No. [-] host was calico, and he specially picked cloth with plain patterns but bright colors.

After the cloth was put on the shelves, it was really very popular.

However, calico is expensive, and it can last for three or four months, so Lin Qian left Xianyang with confidence.

……

In addition to Lin Mo, Lin Qian also brought Meng Yi, who has been responsible for his own safety, along with him on this trip.

Sometimes she worried that Meng Yi's frequent presence by her side would delay her future, but she didn't want both brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi to be very happy with Ying Zheng's arrangement.

After asking, Lin Qian found out that the Meng family's arrangement for the two brothers was a way of supporting each other.

Meng Tian's military ability is higher, and the current state of Qin is also a military general who is more likely to succeed. As the eldest son, he naturally has the important task of continuing the glory of his ancestors, so he took the path of a general first; while Meng Yi is young, and the other is more interested in reading. interest, so he was arranged to take the route of civil servants.

But since they don't want to take the better route of a general, but want to be a civil servant, the Meng family's expectation of Meng Yi is not just a courtier who may be replaced at any time.

Being able to see more with Lin Qian, the entire Meng family can only be happy.

Now that the Meng family has no objection, Lin Qian naturally has no objection if he can have one more bodyguard to protect his safety.

The group soon arrived in Yingchuan County.

After some investigation, Lin Qian and Sun Taicang quickly selected an open land with plenty of sunlight.

The two contacted the sheriff of Yingchuan County and found the owner of the land who wanted to grow cotton on it.

Soon, the sheriff brought a young man in his twenties.

The sheriff introduced the identities of both parties.

The county guard pointed to the young man and introduced: "This is one of the owners of the 20 mu of land, named Miao. Don't worry, the 20 mu of land is owned by Miao and his family. He alone can represent other people. People make decisions."

Lin Qian smiled and nodded at Miao.

Miao was a little embarrassed, pinched the hem of her clothes and quietly took half a step back, blushing a little smirk at Lin Qian, then lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her again.

The county guard also introduced the identities of Lin Qian and Sun Taicang to Miao: "These two are Taicang Ling and Taicang Cheng from Xianyang. They are responsible for farming, food, taxation and other matters throughout the country. The crops I found, because the 20 acres of your land is open and sunny, it is very suitable for crop growth, so the two want to rent it to plant."

Miao looked up excitedly: "Then, is that kind of crop also a high-yield grain seed like potatoes and corn? I am willing!"

Lin Qian paused, then turned to look at Sun Taicang.

Sun Taicang didn't expect the other party to react like this, so he quickly explained: "I'm sorry to have misunderstood you. What I want to rent this time is not grain, but cotton that can be used for weaving."

As soon as Miao heard that it was not a grain seed, his expression immediately became much more sluggish.

He couldn't help muttering: "How can flowers be used for weaving? Are you kidding me..."

Originally, I heard that a big man from Xianyang wanted to rent his field to grow things. Miao thought that his luck would make him like the people in Xianyang, Shu County and other places, making a lot of money from new crops, but he didn't expect that it was not a grain farm. kind……

All of a sudden he was reluctant.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Cotton is not a flower, but a fiber similar to hemp, which can be spun into cloth through a loom." After a pause, she gave an example, "There is a new kind in Xianyang Cotton linen coarse cloth is cheap, and the quality of the cloth is good, someone should have brought it from Xianyang to Yingchuan County for sale recently?"

Miao looked carefully at Lin Qian and nodded, "I also bought a few feet of cloth for the child."

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "That kind of cotton and linen coarse cloth is made of cotton and linen according to a certain ratio, and it is much softer than pure linen."

Miao became agitated and couldn't help but look at the sheriff.

The county guard also bought a lot of calico, and he was even more excited than Miao: "Are you really planning to promote cotton planting in Yingchuan County?"

Sun Taicang nodded: "Because the growth of cotton needs enough sunshine and warm climate, currently only Yingchuan County and some areas are suitable for growing cotton. Otherwise, we would not have traveled thousands of miles to Yingchuan County, and it would be enough to promote planting directly in Xianyang." gone."

The sheriff suddenly turned his head to look at Miao, wishing he could replace him with his own body.

You must know that Sun Taicang has also engaged in such leases before, and the rent of the land leased to grow crops is usually the seeds after harvest.In the first two years of planting, those seeds were worth a thousand dollars.

Miao was not very willing to rent the land to the imperial court, he still wanted grain seeds more.

But when the county guard looked at it like this, Miao seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and immediately nodded and agreed: "I, I am willing to lease the land to you to grow cotton."

Sun Taicang and Lin Qian looked at each other, and they were immediately happy.

He immediately took Miao to the side, and began to discuss the rent and time of renting these fields and other details.

The county guard was a little itchy: "Is twenty acres of land enough? Does Lin Taicang still have extra cotton seeds? I have also bought a lot of land in Yingchuan County, some of which are located in open land where the sun is shining." Sufficient fields, if Lin Taicang still has extra cotton seeds in his hands, he only needs [-]% of next year's seeds, and there will be no rent for that land!"

==·Drought·==

Lin Qian didn't expect that the sheriff would also want to eat the first crab.

She didn't mind asking the sheriff to help plant cotton, but the first batch of cotton was really important, and it would be easier to take care of it all in one place, so she had no choice but to say: "The long-staple cotton that I found specially, the seeds are rare, I'm afraid I can't plant more than 20 mu of land."

The sheriff was a little disappointed.

Lin Qian laughed: "Don't be discouraged, the sheriff. When this crop of cotton is planted, as long as you take good care of it, are you afraid that there will be no cotton seeds in the coming year?"

When the sheriff heard it, he immediately regained his spirits: "Lin Taicang is right."

As long as we take good care of the cotton on these [-] acres of land, are we afraid that there will be no horse cotton seeds next year?These two Taicangs have always followed the practice of promoting the planting of new crops. Generally, where the new crops are planted at the beginning, they will often not be left in that place in the second year.

Just like corn is in Xianyang, and potatoes are in Shu County.

As long as there are no accidents, next year this cotton may become their special product in Yingchuan County.

Thinking about it this way, the county guard paid more and more attention to the cotton in the twenty-odd acres of land.

This can relate to the livelihood of a county.

Lin Qian was very satisfied with his reaction, and later raised the matter with Sun Taicang.

Sun Taicang was really happy: "In this way, when we go to promote sweet potatoes, we can rest assured."

……

The two stayed in Yingchuan County for almost a month. After confirming that the cotton in the twenty-odd acres of land was growing well, they returned to Xianyang non-stop, and took sweet potatoes to Berkshire.

Lin Qian and Ying Zheng met face to face, had a meal together, and then left immediately.

She doesn't feel that she is obsessed with her career, but she doesn't know how uncomfortable Ying Zheng hasn't heard her bluffing heartbeat this month, and how uncomfortable she is with her trumpet Lin Qian and trumpet Ying Zheng.

But what Lin Qian did was beneficial to Qin, so even though he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't think about stopping it.

On the contrary, everyone in the harem has been a little restless for the past month, but it is a pity that they were stopped by Ying Zheng forcefully before there was any disturbance, and Lin Qian was not affected by those trivial matters at all.

……

Almost until April, all the grain is planted in the fields.

After the spring plowing was over, Lin Qian, who had accumulated some experience, chose to separate from Sun Taicang. She went to Yingchuan County to focus on cotton, while Sun Taicang stayed in Berkshire to focus on sweet potatoes.

And while the two were busy promoting crops, the Qin soldiers who had vacated their time put on armor and went into battle one after another, gathering in Yan State again.

Yan Wangxi heard the news that the Qin army had gathered again, he was very angry and angry, and wished to kill Yan Taizidan who caused this disaster.

In the original history, in the face of the threat of the Qin army, Zhao Jiahui, who fled to Daidi and became king himself at this time, made a statement at this time, asking Yan Wangxi to kill Yan Taizidan, and presenting his head to Qin Wang Yingzheng for a moment of respite——

Of course, before the head could be sent out, Qin State increased its troops again and directly captured Yan Wangxi.

Without Zhao Jia this time, the situation of Crown Prince Dan of Yan, who caused the disaster of destroying the country in advance because of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty, is not much better than in history.In the whole country, there are countless people who feel resentment towards Crown Prince Dan of Yan, and many of them wish that he would die immediately.

but……

what's the point?

For the current Yingzheng, would he give up the easy-to-get Yan Kingdom for the sake of a mere Crown Prince Yan?

What's more, even though Jingke's assassination of Qin was the mastermind of Prince Dan of Yan, he was able to get the map of Dukang, didn't he have Yan Wangxi's permission?Even if it is necessary to present the head, Yan Wangxi's head should be presented together.

So Wang Jian continued to attack as if he didn't know about it.

The king of Yan was overjoyed and had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Liaodong.

Wang Jian was not in a hurry, and intended to plan it slowly in order to reduce the casualties of the Qin army.

But I didn't want to, at this time news came from the country of Qin, saying that several counties in the country hadn't rained for almost a month.

This looks like a sign of severe drought.

Ying Zheng ordered to take Yan as soon as possible at all costs.

Wang Jian didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately called Li Xin and other generals stationed in Daidi and his soldiers to Liaodong, and attacked the few remaining cities of Yan State with all their strength.

In the middle of June, Wang Jian captured King Xi of Yan, and the kingdom of Yan was destroyed.

Wang Jian and others returned to the court, and Ying Zheng held a celebration to welcome them, but unfortunately, no one at the banquet was happy.

Wang Jian is calm, but never
