Early in the morning of the second day, Li Si came to Ying Zheng's study with the "Agricultural and Food Classic" and the Huaxia character library, and put them on the desk in front of Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, all the proofreading has been completed, and this scripture is all written in Qin script, and it can already be read through."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in surprise, unable to believe that this was true.

"So quickly?" Ying Zheng picked up the Qin version of "The Book of Agriculture and Grain".

"Well, another sleepless night." After saying that, Li Si stretched.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si's eyes and asked suspiciously: "But the widow didn't see that there was bloodshot in Mr.'s eyes, and your complexion is not bad." ”

Li Si smiled and said: "The red pill that the master gave to the king, if the king takes it for a long time, he will be like Weichen, and he will not feel sleepy if he doesn't sleep all night." ”

"Really?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course, in fact, the red pill can be used as a blood drop to recognize relatives, but it is only a secondary role." Li Si said with a smile.

"But the predecessors only gave the widow a bottle, but let the widow eat it for three years." Ying Zheng said with some difficulty, "I used some when I was dripping blood to recognize my relatives, and now it seems that I can only eat one pill a month." ”

"Weichen has some more, which can be enough for the king to take one for three days." Lees said.

"That's fine." Ying Zheng said happily, "That widow is now in civilian clothes." ”

Ying Zheng walked into the inner room, found a small medicine bottle, and took a red pill.

"Your Majesty, according to the method introduced in the "Book of Agriculture and Grain", you can now sow the original grain seeds." Lees said.

Ying Zheng picked up the Qin version of "The Book of Agriculture and Grain", and while opening it, he asked, "Is the content in it easy to understand?" ”

"It's all about growing food, what kind of grain is suitable for what climate, soil quality, water quality, and so on." Lees said.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Since the regions suitable for cultivation of grain seeds are different, then they should be selected by region, and then each original grain seed should be classified by region." ”

"In this case, each place can just breed the right grain for that place." Lees added.

"The widow came to divide the grains, and the gentleman classified the climate, soil quality and other conditions in each place, and then distributed the grains to be cultivated in various places." Ying Zheng said.

"This allows us to create a chart that shows where each grain is distributed." Liss added.

"That's it." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "When Sima Hong comes back, discuss with him that the widow will cultivate grain seeds in his various fertile fields." ”

"The Sima family has a lot of property, and there are fertile fields everywhere, so it is a good choice." Lees said.

Ying Zheng put away the "Classic of Agriculture and Grain" and said: "These things will be discussed later, let's go and see how the clay figurines are imitated." ”

Li Si replied and got up to accompany Yingzheng out.

Ying Zheng wanted to enter the second layer of the Martial Emperor's Mausoleum as soon as possible, after all, the things inside were too tempting.

Coming to the pottery kiln, the craftsmen are busy.

Seeing that Yingzheng was coming in person, the craftsmen put down their work and knelt down to pay respects.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up and speak.

The foreman Jing Fan stepped forward and said, "The king has come to check the imitation of the terracotta figurines?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Exactly." The widow has been entangled in all things lately, and he has never been here, and during this time, you brothers have worked hard, and the widow will give you more rewards. ”

As soon as they heard that there was a reward, all the craftsmen were happy.

"Your Majesty, we are working day and night, not for a reward." Jing Fan said.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "That's what you deserve." How's things going? ”

"Back to the king, we smashed a terracotta figurine and disposed of its fragments in various ways in order to analyze the composition of the blank used to make the figurines and the manufacturing process at that time." Jing Fan said, "At present, the eight or nine that have been analyzed are not far from ten. ”

"Is it difficult to replicate it as it is?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.

"The production process is not difficult, in addition to the elusive layer of weatherproof special paint on the surface, the composition of the blank should be some raw materials, so the toughness of the samples fired at present is not enough." Jing Fan analyzed.

"Do you know what's missing? The widow will find a way for you. Ying Zheng asked.

"The grass people feel that there should be a lack of things that play a role in bonding." Jing Fan said, "And the easiest thing to collect is resin. ”

"Resin?" Ying Zheng asked, "How much?" ”

"If you don't need a lot of imitations, just to find out the proportion, there should be as many as a water bowl, and it will be enough." Jing Fan said.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Leave this matter to the widow, and after collecting it, send someone over immediately." ”

Jing Fan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, the king." ”

"As for the special paint on that surface." Ying Zheng paused and said, "You don't have to pay attention to it, after the widow gets it, you can just paint it." ”

"The grass people obey the king's orders." Jing Fan said.

"If there is any situation, send someone to inform the widow in time." After speaking, Ying Zheng took Li Si and turned to leave.

The craftsmen fell to the ground again.

It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't want to stay a little longer, but he's just anxious to collect some resin.

The pottery kiln is not in the city, and if you go back to the city, you have to go through the west gate.

As they approached the city gate, a group of men and horses appeared in the distance, rushing towards the west gate.

When the team got closer, Ying Zheng recognized the person who led him.

It was none other than Sima Hong who was at the forefront.

The team behind is the family members and mansions of the Meng family. It turned out that Sima Hong escorted the Meng family and their family members to just return to Xianyang City.

Sima Hong also saw Ying Zheng and urged the horse to run over.

Running to Yingzheng, Sima Hong turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Sima Hong has seen the king." ”

Ying Zheng also hurriedly got off the horse, picked up Sima Hong and said, "Senior Sima doesn't need to be polite. ”

Li Si also dismounted and arched his hand: "Li Si has seen Senior Sima. ”

Sima Hong nodded to Li Si, and then said to Yingzheng: "We buried General Meng, and when we returned, the father and son of the Meng family were worried that something would happen in Xianyang, so they went back to the city first, and let me escort the family to return, but I didn't want to meet the king at the gate of the city." ”

"The widow went out of the city to deal with some private matters." Ying Zheng said, "It's really a coincidence that Senior Sima escorted the Meng family to return. ”

"Your Majesty, have the father and son of the Meng family returned to Xianyang safely?" Sima Hong said worriedly.

"I came back two days ago, and thanks to them coming back in time, otherwise ......," Ying Zheng said with a wry smile, "What happened in the past few days, the widow is really difficult to deal with." ”

"Is something wrong?" Sima Hong asked urgently.

"This is not the place to speak." Ying Zheng said, "Get on the horse, the widow will go back to the Meng family with you." ”

Sima Hong responded, and the three of them got on the horse.

The family members of the Meng family and the mansion also followed, Sima Hong explained a few words, and the group followed Yingzheng to the Meng Mansion.

Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to go back to the dormitory first and told Zhao Gao to lead some people to pick some resin and come back.

Li Si went back to the palace, and Ying Zheng and Sima Hong walked side by side at the front of the team.

Along the way, Ying Zheng told Sima Hong what had happened in the past few days briefly.

Sima Hong's expression kept changing, or frightened, or angry, or worried, or anxious, until he heard about the blood confession, and his heart settled down slightly.

Before I knew it, I was approaching the Mongol Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Meng family had already sent the palace to rush back to the Meng Mansion to report, and Meng Wu and Meng Yi were waiting outside the door.

Meng Tian was busy quelling the rumors of the people, so he was not in the house.

Meng Wu and Meng Yi stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

The crowd dismounted.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow went out of the city to deal with some things, and when he came back, he happened to meet your family members at the city gate and returned to the city. ”

Sima Hong also smiled and said, "Yes, it's really a coincidence." ”

"Please also ask the king to enter the palace for a while." Meng Wu sideways out of the way, made a gesture of invitation, and then said to Meng Yi, "Yi'er, go and help settle your mother and the others." ”

After Meng Yi answered, he walked to the rear convoy.

Ying Zheng and Sima Hong followed Meng Wu to the meeting room.

The living room was restored to its original state, and it was no longer the scene of mourning.

After the three of them sat down, Meng Wu first spoke: "Your Majesty, some of the remaining fine works in the city have been arrested, and after interrogation, the confession is basically the same as the information obtained at the court meeting. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "In this way, even if there are still fish in the city, they will not dare to act rashly, and when the army breaks through the rebels, they will lose their value." ”

"Do you want to continue the manhunt in the city?" Meng Wu asked.

"Let's stop for a moment." Ying Zheng said, "At present, the most important thing is to appease the people and prevent them from being deceived." Moreover, Fan Yu will not only do this in Xianyang, the next goal is to pacify the entire Great Qin. ”

Meng Wu arched his hand and said: "The king thinks about it thoroughly, but this matter still needs Lu Xiangbang's cooperation. ”

"Presumably Lu Xiangbang has already done this." Although Yingzheng is guarding against Lü Buwei in many places, he is still quite confident in Lü Buwei's ability.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu and Sima Hong, and then said, "The widow has another matter, and he wants to discuss with the two. ”

"Though the king commands it." The two responded in unison.

"The widow intends to cultivate a batch of grain seeds to enrich the treasury." Ying Zheng's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being heard by outsiders, "When the treasury accumulates to a certain extent, he will move eastward and calm the world." ”

Meng Wu and Sima Hong were both shocked.

Meng Wu asked puzzledly, "Could it be that the grain seed that the king said can produce more grain?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "At present, in the hands of the widows, there are indeed grains that can produce more grain, and even the ways and methods of planting them, the widows have also collected them, and they only need to cultivate more such grains." ”

"Wonderful!" Meng Wu's eyes lit up after hearing this, a person who led the army certainly knew the importance of food.

Sima Hong was not calm anymore, and asked, "What kind of grains did the king say?" ”

"There are a lot of them." Ying Zheng seemed quite peaceful, "There are all five grains, and each grain has five elements." The idea was to sort each county according to its different climate and soil quality, and then cultivate the grains that were most suitable for growing there. ”

The two of them nodded their heads, imagining the different kinds of seeds and what they would look like when they were fully grown.

"However...... "Ying Zheng's words changed, "this move needs to be carried out secretly at present, and Lu Xiangbang must not be informed." ”

"What does the king mean ......?" Meng Wu vaguely guessed something.

"The meaning of the widow is that you can ask Sima's seniors to help run this matter and cultivate it in the fertile fields of the Sima family." Ying Zheng looked at Sima Hong and said.

"Tell you early in the morning what the king needs, even though he commands it. There are many fertile fields in various parts of Sima's house, which are suitable for cultivating a variety of different cereal species. Sima Hong said admittedly, "It's just that the king should not be commensurate with his predecessors in the future." ”

"Hehe, that widow canonized you as the Grain Governor, and is fully responsible for cultivating new types of cereals." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"That's not what I mean." Sima Hong was about to bow down, but was stopped by Yingzheng.

At this time, Meng Yi's voice came from outside the door: "Father, the family has settled down." ”

Ying Zheng motioned for Meng Yi to come in and speak.

"Come in too, the king has something to say to you." Meng Wu said.

After Meng Yi entered the door, he stood on the side.

"Before, the widow said that he would let Meng Yi supervise the military rations, and now let him be a deputy to Lord Sima." Ying Zheng said.

Then Ying Zheng told Meng Yi the general plan for cultivating new cereal seeds.

Then, Yingzheng told a few people about the new policy of implementing new types of cereals that Li Si had told him before.

The three of them were dumbfounded.
