Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 92: Intercept Yan Lingji?
After feeling the gaze of Jingwei's beautiful eyes, Xu Lin touched his nose to show that he was innocent.

It’s not that he wanted to take a picture, but the long skirt Jingwei was wearing was too slim-fitting and her hips were too raised, making people want to try it out.

After seeing this scene, Jingwei snorted coldly and walked quickly towards Li Ji.

Then we started trying out the curved plow.

Li Ji was testing the straight-beam plow just now, so she didn't see Xu Lin slapping Jingwei's buttocks, otherwise Li Ji would definitely join Jingwei in expressing her dissatisfaction with Xu Lin!
Xu Lin will take pictures of Jingwei in front of Li Ji today, and tomorrow he may take pictures of Li Ji in front of Li Wu, or other girls, such as Yue Shen.

After trying out the curved plow, Jingwei gave Xu Lin a thumbs up.

Xu Lin is indeed the man she likes!
Although he is a bit lustful, his merits outweigh his flaws.

Li Wu was the last one to try.

"gentlemen."

"If I sell this, I'm sure I'll make a killing..."

After trying it, Li Wu said with a charming smile.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Why do you only care about money?"

"The curved plow is a blessing to the world!"

Xu Lin scolded.

Li Wu, who was wearing a purple long dress, seemed to be hesitant to speak when she heard this.

Didn’t you say before, sir, that money is like beauty, the more the better?
"I said the more money the better."

"But a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way."

"It is not my wish to make money from the common people."

After seeing through Li Wu's thoughts, Xu Lin explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji nodded in agreement and admired Xu Lin even more.

Why did she agree to stay and have an in-depth discussion with Xu Lin? It was because Xu Lin cared about the world.

Although Xu Lin is lustful and sometimes not very honest, he has his principles and bottom line.

"If my husband doesn't make money from the common people, whose money will he make?"

Jingwei asked softly.

She knew that Xu Lin wanted to make money from wealthy businessmen and nobles, so she asked this question deliberately in order to let Li Ji and Li Wu know whose money Xu Lin mentioned before, the more money the better!
“Whoever has money makes money.”

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Li Wu suddenly realized that the gentleman wanted to make money from the nobles.

Other businessmen and dignitaries were all thinking about how to exploit the people, but Xu Lin was thinking about making money from the nobles. The difference was obvious!

The common people don't have much money to begin with, and making money from them can easily incite civil unrest.

The nobles have a lot of money, and most of it comes from illegal sources, so making money from the nobles is not only safe, but also will not damage your reputation or incite civil unrest!
……

That night.

When Xu Lin was resting his head on Jingwei's legs, Jingwei expressed her concerns.

"Husband."

"The curved plow does have many advantages over the straight plow, but the difference between the curved plow and the straight plow is not that big."

"Once it's promoted on a large scale, it won't be long before the Shandong Six Nations copy it. Will that make it even harder to go east?"

Jingniu put her legs together and asked seriously.

Since she is Xu Lin's woman, and Xu Lin is the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, she has to consider Xu Lin and Daqin!

"will not."

Xu Lin shook his head.

"Why?"

There was a hint of confusion in Jingwei Qiushui's long eyes.

"Because the six states in Shandong all had incompetent rulers."

“Will they benefit the people?”

Xu Lin answered.

"If the government doesn't contribute and we only rely on private craftsmen, how long will it take for the curved plow to be used on a large scale?"

"By the time the common people of the six states in Shandong are all using the curved plow, the Qin Dynasty will have unified the world!"

Xu Lin added with a smile.

Jingwei suddenly understood what was going on and admired Xu Lin even more.

Xu Lin still thinks long-term, she feels inferior to him!

"Ma'am, I'm hungry."

Xu Lin looked up at the mountains and spoke softly.

Jingwei's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and he looked at the cherries not far away.

Seeing that Cherry was still sleeping, she bit her lower lip and slowly rolled up her clothes.

Xu Lin has been going too far lately. Not only are his hands dishonest, but his mouth is also mean!
She competes with her daughter Cherry for food every now and then!
……

The next day.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

After lunch, Xu Lin went to Zhangtai Palace with the curved plow and the small seal version of "How to Make a Curved Plow".

After learning that Xu Lin wanted to see him, Ying Zheng immediately asked Zhao Gao to bring Xu Lin in.

"This is?"

Ying Zheng looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes filled with confusion.

More than ten years ago, when he was in Handan, Zhao State, he plowed the land. In his memory, the plow did not look like this!
"This thing is called a curved plow," Xu Lin introduced.

After he finished speaking, he handed the small seal version of "How to Make a Curved Plow" to Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng looked intently at the "Method of Making the Curved Plow", Zhao Gao dismissed his attendants.

"The curved plow is not only lighter and more flexible, but also saves manpower and animal power?"

"Is this your new invention, sir?"

After reading it, Ying Zheng couldn't hide his surprise.

After saying that, he handed the "Method of Making a Curved Plow" to Gai Nie.

Like Zhao Gao, Gai Nie has completely gained Ying Zheng's trust.

Xu Lin nodded.

"With the help of Master, our Great Qin is truly as powerful as a tiger with wings!"

"Zhao Gao, prepare the carriage!"

"I'm going to the outskirts of the city to try out Mr. Xu's new invention myself!"

Ying Zheng was very pleased.

"promise!"

Zhao Gao immediately accepted the order.

"Sir, how did you come up with the idea of ​​changing a long straight shaft into a short curved one?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xu Lin and asked curiously.

Then he personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Lin.

"A few days ago, I was out on a leisurely tour of the outskirts of the city...and I saw an old farmer plowing the land with a straight-beam plow, and that's when I thought of it."

Xu Lin answered.

He almost said out loud what he was thinking.

"Gone?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Gone."

Xu Lin nodded.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly, it's true that people will die if they are compared to others!
He had heard from a clan member, Shang Gong, that when Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, was in his twenties, he could guess the content of a military book after reading only half of it, and could draw inferences about other situations from one example. But he didn't believe it at the time!
Now seeing that Xu Lin only saw an old farmer plowing the field with a straight-beam plow, he could think of a curved-beam plow, and he believed it!

Maybe this is talent.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin, Ying Zheng and others arrived at the outskirts of the city.

To avoid being watched, Ying Zheng wore casual clothes.

Ying Zheng first tried a straight-beam plow, but after entering Qin, he never plowed the land again due to the heavy state affairs.

The straight-beam plow was very tiring. If Ying Zheng hadn't known martial arts and hadn't used oxen to plow, he wouldn't have been able to plow at all!

After a cup of tea, Ying Zheng gave the straight-beam plow to Zhao Gao and began to test the curved-beam plow.

After just a few breaths, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

You don’t know until you try it, and you’ll be surprised when you try it!
This curved plow is simply a magical tool for farming!

After the test, Ying Zheng gave the curved plow to Gai Nie and asked Gai Nie to try it as well.

"Zhao Gao."

"You can try it later."

Ying Zheng ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhao Gao accepted the order without hesitation.

"gentlemen."

"With this, Daqin will no longer have to worry about food!"

"I will reward you handsomely!"

"There is still a vacancy among the Nine Ministers. I wonder if you..."

Ying Zheng patted Xu Lin on the shoulder and said.

He was interrupted by Xu Lin just before he finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

"I don't want any promotion or advancement!"

"If the king insists on giving a reward, you can give...a woman to me."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

He didn't want to be one of the Nine Ministers. Although the Nine Ministers had great power, they also had a lot of things to do. He didn't want to be like Ying Zheng, working from sunrise to sunset every day without rest!
"it is good."

"Which girl have you taken a fancy to now?"

Ying Zheng nodded and asked loudly.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of Yan Lingji?"

Xu Lin asked back.

According to the time calculation, Yan Lingji should have just entered Han, or is on the way from Baiyue to Han. The war between Han and Chu to attack Baiyue has just ended.
