These days, Meng Yi is like losing his soul, absent-minded, and finally caught up with his girlfriend, but as a result, he was rejected by his father-in-law.

Beat the mandarin ducks, it's really merciless.

But the days still have to pass day by day, Meng Yi quickly reined in his thoughts, since Ying Zheng felt that he was not worthy of the eldest princess, then he had to become a man worthy of her.

One day, Meng Yi wants to impress Yingzheng.

The First Emperor Yingzheng left Meng Yi with two problems, one of which was to win the "Three Kingdoms Martial Arts" competition, which was the top priority and the top priority at the moment. As for the second problem, attacking the Huns? We need to think long-term, and we can't rush or rush.

At the same time, as the time of the competition is approaching, Baiyue and Xiongnu are also preparing intensively, and in order to achieve victory, hundreds of elite masters have been selected from various countries.

And there are only a few people who can take the stage to participate in the competition.

And the "Three Kingdoms Martial Arts", with Fusu as the commander-in-chief and Meng Yi as the leader, the burden on his shoulders is not small.

Recently, news has come from the northern and southern borders that the Xiongnu and Baiyue have gathered more than 100 people, among them, Baiyue has set off from the national capital to the north.

On the other hand, Great Qin is less than their number.

For this reason, the First Emperor was very worried.

In the inner court of the imperial city, Ying Zheng walked out of the Xianyang Palace, he wore a crown on his head and the first sword in the world - Tianwen on his waist.

Standing on the steps of Xianyang Palace, raising his eyes and looking out, Zhao Gao, who was behind him, put on a down coat for him, and said, "Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold." ”

"Zhao Gao, how is the lime mining in Beishan?"

"The first batch of warm babies has been made, and it is made according to the design of Meng Yi, which is the finished product presented by Shaofu this morning."

Zhao Gao took out the finished product of the warm baby from his arms and handed it to the emperor, Ying Zheng broke the water bladder on the warm baby, and after a while, the quicklime released a lot of heat when it met the water, and it was like holding a small warm pot in his hand, which was really warm.

The First Emperor was overjoyed and said: "Divine object, with him, my Great Qin army will not be afraid of the cold, why not be afraid of the Huns?" Haha, victory must belong to Great Qin!! ”

Zhao Gao on the side also smirked and said: "This second son of Meng is really a god, turning waste into treasure is really the fortune of the empire and the blessing of Your Majesty." ”

At the mention of Meng Yi, the First Emperor was stunned and suddenly asked, "By the way, what is that stinky boy doing?" ”

Since that day, Meng Yi has rarely gone out, Rao has only gone to Beishan to dispatch lime mining work.

"According to the report from the shadow guard, Meng Yi is cultivating the land in the mansion."

"Cultivated land?"

The First Emperor said with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that His Majesty was confused, Zhao Gao also shook his head and said: "The slave doesn't know, I only know that he has reclaimed a vacant land in the backyard of the mansion, and keeps plowing the land with a hoe all day long, and even the servants of the mansion don't know what his son is doing." ”

"This kid can't be brain stimulated and have a recurrence of brain disease, right?"

Everyone in Xianyang knows that Meng Yi has a brain disease.

"Do you want to find the Imperial Doctor to go to the Mongol Mansion to have a look?"

"No need, let him go." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "If he can't even resist such a trivial matter, then I can't marry Zisu to him." ”

It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't like Meng Yi, on the contrary, he admires Meng Yi very much, but he still has to hone more, as the children and grandchildren of the Meng family, if he can't withstand even a little setback, it will be difficult to become a big climate in the future.

"By the way, what about Shiso? She has been stubborn since she was a child, and the things she believes will not be easily changed, but there is a lot of noise. Ying Zheng asked.

"The eldest princess doesn't make a noise except for very few meals."

"That's good, these two children still need to hone and hone before they can really get along with each other and work together for life." Ying Zheng said.

"It's just that this bad guy is your majesty." Zhao Gao said.

……

Mongfu, backyard.

The subordinates formed a circle, each with big eyes and small eyes, you look at me, I look at you, they all don't know what the son is doing?

From early in the morning, he took a hoe and plowed the ground in the open space in the backyard, plowing over and over again, sweating profusely and panting.

"Childe, rest for a while, you've been busy all morning."

Qing'er stepped forward and handed Meng Yi a cup of tea, and then took a pillow towel to wipe his son's sweat.

Coming to the side, Meng Yi sat on the stone bench, rested for a while, and beckoned to Hao Jian.

"Childe, what do you command?"

Then, Meng Yi took out a bag from his arms and said, "Scatter the seeds in this bag into the ground." ”

Taking out the seeds in the bag, Hao Jian asked puzzledly: "Isn't this the seed of rice?" ”

"Exactly."

"If you want to eat rice, why do you need to plant it yourself, just buy some in the rice market. You are a noble body, what can you do when you are tired? ”

Meng Yi wanted to explain, but he didn't bother to explain, this rice is not the other rice.

These rice grains were discovered by him in the wild, that is, to obtain the seeds of wild rice, and following the method of academician "Yuan Longping", Meng Yi was ready to plant and cultivate a new batch of "hybrid rice".

The previous "coarse salt purification" has made him fight for a lot of money, but the weird tablet has not appeared, which can't help but make people suspicious.

After returning from a field trip and stumbling upon wild rice, Meng Yi had an idea and said, "Yes, I can grow hybrid rice." ”

In ancient times, one mu can produce three stone rice grain, it is already considered a bumper harvest time, in that era, there is no machine, let alone artificial irrigation technology, the yield is really pitiful.

Because of this, the rice output in all parts of the country is seriously insufficient, and it is still far from enough to support the big country.

Thinking of this way to make money, Meng Yi's first idea was to cultivate hybrid rice.

However, how easy is it to succeed?!

At that time, it took Academician Yuan Longping decades to really develop it, and there was a lesson from the previous experience, for Meng Yi, he could take a lot of detours, but if he wanted to succeed, it was not overnight.

It's a long-term mission, and if it succeeds, it's a big deal for the benefit of the Empire.

Since ancient times, public opinion is the sky, whether it is rice or wheat, all are indispensable food for the survival of the people, once the "hybrid rice" can be developed, not to mention one acre of three stones, one acre of thirty stones are possible.

For several days, Meng Yi has been bored at home, tinkering with his "hybrid rice" all day long, and has become a typical otaku.

However......

Outside, an earth-shattering event happened.

Since the imperial court issued the edict of "digging lime", people from all over the country have come here, and because of the large number of them, they have seen a refugee area above the north.

The lime mined from the north was processed into a "warm baby", which sent an artifact to the soldiers of Mobei, and the "warm baby" became a rare thing on the market.

It was also Meng Yi's attention that provided new jobs for the victims and solved the difficulties of the victims in the city.

Wave after wave of unsettled, just after solving the matter of the refugees, but Xianyang unexpectedly appeared a catastrophe that was enough to destroy everything.

Smallpox!

Regarded as a disease of the death knell by the ancients, everything broke out of smallpox, and the people who could survive were almost minimal, and the disease was extremely contagious, even if it was a contemporary miracle doctor, it was helpless, and since ancient times, the ancient people were tormented by this virus.

Originally, the "Three Kingdoms Meeting" was already imminent, and the 'smallpox' broke out at such a critical time.

This year, for Qin Shi Huang, it was not too peaceful.

In just a few days, smallpox was rampant, and the whole Xianyang fell into endless chaos.

There was no countermeasure for a while, so the First Emperor had to order: "Anyone who gets smallpox will be burned at the stake and burned in public." ”

The edict may seem inhumane, but it is the best way to solve all pathogens, and only in this way can the spread of infection be prevented.

However.

In just three days, 49 people were infected, and all of them were burned at the stake without exception.

Just when the whole city was in chaos, a major event also happened in the imperial city.

The First Emperor suddenly received news from the harem, Zhao Gao hurriedly ran to the Xianyang Palace, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Harem...... Smallpox appeared. ”

"What?!"

The First Emperor's body shook violently, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

After a long time, the First Emperor replied, "Who has smallpox?" ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

Seeing that Zhao Gao had scruples and didn't dare to say more, Ying Zheng's face changed greatly, and he reprimanded: "Say!" ”

"It's the eldest princess who has smallpox."

Rumble!!

This news exploded in Ying Zheng's head in an instant, his most beloved daughter was the eldest princess Ying Zisu, for a father, this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Previously, Ying Zheng had issued an order that anyone who contracted smallpox should be killed and burned at the stake to prevent the smallpox virus from spreading.

Now, the eldest princess Ying Zisu is suffering from smallpox, should she be killed?

's own daughter, of course, is reluctant to kill.

Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly and said coldly: "Pass on my order, block the imperial city, if anyone dares to leak the eldest princess's condition, I will punish him for the nine clans!" ”

However, paper can't contain fire after all.

The news that the eldest princess was suffering from "smallpox" spread like a gust of wind.

The people in the streets were bustling and noisy, shouting, "Kill the princess, destroy smallpox." ”

"Kill the princess, kill smallpox."

On this day, the minister played: "Your Majesty, the people in the city are making trouble again, and they ask for the princess to be killed, what should I do?" ”

"The people in the north of the city are also making trouble."

"The people of the south of the city gathered on the streets and begged for the eldest princess to be killed."

With the gradual development of the world, the first emperor could no longer hide it, he pondered for a long time, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice: "The edict was promulgated by me personally, and now the people are making trouble, all of which are reproaching me for favoritism and cover-up. ”

"The eldest princess Ying Shisu, suffering from smallpox, even though I am very reluctant, in order to calm the anger of the world, I have decided to burn at the stake and kill!!"
