Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Under the guidance of Changping Jun, Su Xuan walked around for half a day before arriving at the reception hall.

The residence of Lord Changping covers a vast area and is magnificent, with pavilions, terraces, and beautiful buildings.

Su Xuan was not envious at all because he had a bigger one.

After Lu Buwei resigned, his former residence remained. As the new prime minister, Su Xuan accepted it with peace of mind.

He had gone to see it in person two days ago. One can only say that Lu Buwei was a man who knew how to enjoy life. He probably hired skilled craftsmen. The ingenious layout and luxurious decoration were breathtaking.

He had a new gate plaque made, and all the things used by Lu Buwei were thrown to the Violet Chamber of Commerce for disposal, and at the same time all new ones were replaced in the mansion.

Now that it's almost finished, he plans to move in in the next few days.

As the Prime Minister, he naturally needs a mansion that suits his status. Although the new Zi Lan Xuan is good, it can only be a temporary measure.

"Greetings, Lord Prime Minister." Inside the hall, there was actually a man waiting there. He was dressed simply, had a beard, bright eyes, and on his shoulder was engraved a nine-star bead grass representing the chief farmer.

"Mr. Prime Minister, let me introduce to you my best friend, the farmer's hero Tian Guang." Changping Jun took Su Xuan to a seat and introduced them.

"Greetings, hero." Su Xuan bowed in return.

Su Xuan had learned some information about Tian Guang, the hero leader of the farming family, from Situ Wanli. He was a heroic, loyal, wise and brave man, and he admired Lord Changping very much.

Why are the two of them so close friends, and why is Changping Jun the main figure?

Because several years ago, Changping Jun began to support Tian Guang and secretly develop the farming family. The farming family was able to grow and spread across the seven countries, and Changping Jun made an indelible contribution.

Taking the farming family, which has the largest number of disciples among the Hundred Schools of Thought, as his base, this alone shows that Changping Jun is an extremely ambitious person.

As the right prime minister of Qin, he was well aware of the power of Qin. Out of his inner fear and ambition, he started planning very early.

The earliest and most traceable one was the rebellion of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao in the eighth year of King Zheng of Qin. Fan Yuqi, as a rebel general, should have been punished together with him, but Changping Jun pleaded for Fan Yuqi to Ying Zheng, allowing him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and luckily escaped.

If Su Xuan's guess is correct, Fan Yuqi is probably now secretly loyal to Changping Jun.

He had been plotting slowly all along, hiding himself very well. While controlling power in the Qin court, he used its power to feed back himself, secretly developing his own power, while at the same time planning to return to the Chu State and ascend the throne to become king.

If there were spies during the Warring States Period, then Su Xuan would be willing to call him the best spy. With his own strength, he wiped out 200,000 Qin troops and delayed the time of unification by several years.

He was also the mastermind behind Jing Ke's assassination of Qin. If he had been luckier, he might have really changed the situation of the Seven Kingdoms.

Su Xuan admired people like Changping Jun, and he was even more pleased to see his move to strengthen the farming family.

Because in the end, you will only be making things worse for yourself!

With his fame and power, it is not difficult for him to support a few farming disciples to rise to power.

"Your Majesty will be taking power soon. I wonder how the Prime Minister plans to govern?" Changping Jun raised the wine jar, toasted Su Xuan from a distance, and then asked.

Su Xuan smiled slightly, "Agriculture is the foundation of the world. It is what people rely on for survival. There is no greater task than this."

"To make a country strong, we must first strengthen agriculture. If the crops are abundant and the people are prosperous, the country will naturally be peaceful and the people will be safe."

"I plan to vigorously develop agriculture. My vision is to ensure that all farmers' children can have enough food and clothing." At this point, he smiled and looked at Tian Guang, "This requires the concerted efforts of farmers to promote it together."

"The Prime Minister also attaches so much importance to agriculture?" Tian Guang looked surprised. "This is a blessing for my disciples of the Farming Family. Don't worry, Prime Minister, the Farming Family will definitely help you!"

"From what the Prime Minister said, could it be that they have developed another agricultural tool comparable to the curved plow?" Changping Jun asked with a smile on his face.

The Nong family was originally his power, and he was more than happy to be able to grow and develop with the help of the Qin State.

"That's not the case. We just got a crop from overseas that can produce a thousand kilograms per mu." Su Xuan shook his head, his tone as calm as usual.

But his words were like a huge rock hitting the water, causing thousands of waves.

Both of them were shocked and looked at Su Xuan in disbelief.

How is it possible to produce 1,000 kilograms of crops per mu? You know, nowadays, an acre of fertile land can only produce 150 to 200 kilograms of grain, and poor land can only produce 100 kilograms.

If what Su Xuan said was true, then the value of this crop is simply immeasurable!

If all the farming disciples can have enough food and clothing, that will be a truly prosperous age!

When he thought of this, Tian Guang was so excited that he rushed to Su Xuan and stared at him intently, "Is what the Prime Minister said true?"

Changping Jun also looked at Su Xuan without blinking. After his excitement, he quickly calmed down and began to think about what impact this thing would have on the world.

Admittedly, this is a great achievement that benefits both the country and the people, and is a feat worthy of being recorded in history. However, it is not of much help to the national strength of the State of Chu, because the State of Chu is vast and rich in resources, and is a land of fish and rice. On the contrary, the State of Zhao will benefit greatly from this, and will no longer have the problem of insufficient food supply if it defends the city.

But the country that benefited the most must be the Qin State, because once the technology was promoted, the Qin people would be the first to cultivate it. What kind of scene would it be when the harvest came, and how powerful would the Qin State be?

His eyes flickered slightly and he was secretly frightened.

Not only could he not stop this kind of thing, but he had to promote it vigorously. Only in this way would the six countries be able to sow and cultivate in the following year and avoid being left behind in national strength by Qin.

It was clearly a win-win situation, but Changping Jun couldn't be happy for some reason.

Looking at Su Xuan talking to Tian Guang, he had an idea and waved to call a maid over. He seemed to give some instructions, and then the maid hurried away.

Su Xuan looked at Tian Guang calmly and shook his head secretly. What he said was already conservative enough. The potato and sweet potato seeds he signed in for were all high-yield seeds obtained through virus-free production in later generations. Even if the current planting conditions are not as good as those in later generations, two to three thousand kilograms can still be easily achieved.

If he told the real output, wouldn't Tian Guang go crazy?

Facing Tian Guang's expectant eyes, he nodded.

Chapter 139 Mi Lian

Su Xuan's choice to take out potatoes and sweet potatoes at this time was actually well thought out.

As early as in Korea, he gained considerable fame among his fellow farmers by promoting the curved plow.

Now he could use these two things to interfere in the farmers' affairs, support his own forces, and gradually erode the farmers.

On the other hand, it aroused Ying Zheng's desire to explore overseas. The overseas land is vast and boundless. Will there be more magical things?

When everyone is tempted by interests, the Age of Discovery will inevitably come ahead of schedule.

Tian Guang was very excited to receive Su Xuan's affirmation. "Master Xiangguo, I wonder where this thing is. Can you let me see it?"

"I can understand your eagerness, but I need to present this item to the king first. When I hand it over to the farmers for promotion, he will naturally see it." Su Xuan deliberately whetted his appetite. The more he couldn't get it, the more he would value this matter.

Tian Guang was disappointed and asked, "Can I take a look at what kind of crops it is?"

Su Xuan shook his head to refuse, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pretty figure out of the corner of his eye.

This is a young girl, she is hiding behind a half-open door, where there grows a beautiful straight plum tree, just covering her body. She leans against the door and looks back, pretending to smell the plum blossoms, quietly and seriously watching every move in the hall. To be more precise, her eyes are more on Su Xuan, and she is secretly sizing him up with curiosity and longing.

Seeing the young man looking in his direction, their eyes met. Su Xuan smiled and nodded at the girl, while the girl screamed, covered her chest, and hid behind the door curtain with a blushing face.

He was discovered!

The girl's pretty face was full of spring, and she felt her heart beating like a deer.

Mi Lian, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, had grown into a graceful young lady, and her feelings were gradually coming to an end. The joy of riding a bamboo horse and playing with her childhood sweethearts no longer made her forget herself as before.

When the girl reached the age of young love, she began to imagine what her future husband would look like. She thought he must be a handsome young man with a dignified figure.

She was precocious and also knew that as a member of a powerful family, while enjoying wealth and glory, she would inevitably have to contribute to the family.

Her marriage must be arranged through marriage alliance, and the person she will marry must be from a powerful and noble family of equal status to hers, or he may be a prince or king among the six countries.

Just like her sister Mi Hua married the King of Qin.

She had heard of Su Xuan a long time ago. The girls who played with her would also discuss topics about men from time to time, such as which man was more handsome, which man was more brave, who would achieve greater success in the future, and so on.

Three days ago, she knew that Su Xuan was coming to visit her. At that time, she was actually quite curious because she wanted to see what kind of talent the person was who invented paper, worked on the curved plow, and wrote such a stunning article as "Strategies of the Warring States".

In the end, she couldn't suppress her inner curiosity, and when her father Mi Qi was entertaining Su Xuan, she took the opportunity to secretly look at him.

Looking at his handsome face, his calm and confident manner when facing his father, and his eloquent manner, she gradually became mesmerized without realizing it.

But I didn't expect that he would see it inadvertently!

She covered her face with her hands, her legs slightly bent, her calves pressed together at the knees, her cheeks burning hot.

She opened her lips slightly, breathed lightly, and patted her chest several times before she came to her senses.

Then she lifted the hem of her skirt, stood on tiptoe, and cautiously retreated to the inner courtyard. But for some reason she looked in his direction again, and found that he was still looking at her. The girl felt shy, but also a little happy.

After all, there was still a bit of selfishness in the girl's heart, and she thought that it would be great if she could choose her own marriage partner.

At the same time, the sound of flutes and bamboos was heard in the banquet. Dozens of young women in colorful skirts and thin clothes came in one after another. They all had slim figures and graceful looks. Their fluttering colorful clothes looked like silk ribbons, flying in the air and circling, which was a feast for the eyes.

Is that Mi Lian?

Recalling the beautiful figure he had just seen, Su Xuan thought subconsciously.

In the following time, the banquet was filled with people drinking and chatting, and beautiful women dancing, which made it seem extremely lively.

Looking at these dancing beauties, Su Xuan couldn't help but think of Yan Lingji and Xue Nu, as well as Mi Lian whom he had just met.

Instead of letting Mi Lian become a princess of a fallen country and wander around, it would be better to take her in and let her form a Qin-style dance troupe to perform dances for you. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

He glanced at Changping Jun Mi Qi again, thinking that after forming a marriage, there would be no more constraints in the court. Thinking about it carefully, there are many benefits.

As for being implicated in Mi Qi's rebellion, he didn't take it to heart at all. Not to mention whether he would succeed in the rebellion, even if he did, he and Zheng Ge were in the same boat, so wouldn't their relationship be closer?

Kill three birds with one stone, it is very feasible!

Chapter 140 The sky is round and the place is round

It is human nature to like beautiful things, such as good wine, delicious food, and beautiful women.

The Analects of Confucius also said, "Food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of human beings."

After tasting fine wine and admiring beautiful women at Changping Jun's mansion, Su Xuan returned to the Violet Chamber of Commerce and started to taste delicious food with Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng had arrived early and waited in the private room for a while. Su Xuan naturally would not neglect him and had someone serve him good wine and food so that they could enjoy it together.

Freshly cooked delicacies were placed on the table. The rich aroma almost hit you in the face, and the attractive golden color made you want to eat more.

Ying Zheng looked at the steaming boiler, which contained mutton and a kind of food he had never seen before, a bright yellow, diamond-shaped block of something.

"Your Majesty may wish to try it." Su Xuan smiled slightly, and without caring about any etiquette, he picked up the chopsticks and started to taste it.

Seeing Su Xuan eating with relish, Ying Zheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, then his eyes lit up, it was so soft and delicious, tender and juicy, with a light spicy and fresh fragrance mixed with the rich soup, the aroma of mutton and the softness of potatoes blended perfectly, making it irresistible.

He ate with relish, and even after he was full, he still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Sir, what is this?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called potato." Su Xuan asked with a smile, "What do you think of this thing?"

"What a rare delicacy." Ying Zheng exclaimed in admiration.

"If this thing can produce 1,000 catties per mu, and if it is good farmland, it can produce 2,000 to 3,000 catties per mu, what do you think the value of this thing is?"

Three thousand kilograms per mu?

Ying Zheng's eyes widened in shock. How could the production of this thing be so high?

What followed was ecstasy. He looked excited and asked, "Are you serious, sir?"

"I have tried growing it in Xiaoshengxian Manor, and it is true." Su Xuan said with certainty. He had been learning skills in Xiaoshengxian Manor for four years and signed in on the system every six months. Apart from martial arts skills and elixirs, the rest were these miscellaneous things.

Potatoes appeared in the second year he signed in, and he did reclaim an acre of land to conduct a small experiment.

"Great! May God bless our Great Qin!" Ying Zheng laughed and then asked where this thing came from.

Seeing that they had finally reached the critical link, Su Xuan began to take it seriously, "This thing came from outside Kyushu."

"Outside the Nine Provinces, there are fertile lands stretching for thousands of miles, with natural resources and treasures, all-encompassing, dazzling, fertile fields, and fertile lands." Su Xuan exaggerated as much as he could, "On the coast of the East China Sea, there is an island country thousands of miles away, and it is covered with mountains of gold and silver."

"If Your Majesty only wants to conquer the six kingdoms, then this is enough for now. But if Your Majesty wants to conquer the world, then you need to build strong ships and powerful weapons as soon as possible."

Tens of thousands of miles of fertile land?

Ying Zheng couldn't help but imagine a picture in his mind. It turned out that conquering the six kingdoms was just to stay in a corner?

Is this world so big?

Without any hesitation, the first thing he thought of was to conquer these places.

If it is not conquered, then thousands of years later, wouldn't there be endless fighting like in the Warring States Period?

And if the world is really that big, how many scripts and languages ​​would there be?

Differences in cultural beliefs and disputes over national interests will inevitably lead to war!

Instead of this, it would be better to let the Qin Dynasty unify the world.

There is only one country, only one language, and everyone can live together in harmony. That is the supreme paradise that Ying Zheng wants to create!
