And at this time, in the middle of Xianyang.

Zhao Si was accompanying the First Emperor to watch the harvest of the Five Grain Garden.

Autumn has arrived, and it is the season of harvest and withering.

As a very special institution in Daqin, the Five Grain Garden held large-scale sacrifices every time there was a good harvest in previous years.

However, in the past two years, the ...... has been omitted

The yield of crops in the grain garden is high, but it is really impossible to stand up to come here every year.

However, although there are no large-scale sacrifices, in order to show value, the first emperor will still visit in person during the autumn harvest.

The First Emperor looked at the golden corn cob shining in front of him in the sun, with a slight smile on his face.

No matter what, agriculture will always be the most important thing for a country.

This year, the yield of corn threshing per mu in the grain garden has reached more than 500 catties, without any accident, it is still such a high yield, and the grain in the grain garden will generally be processed immediately after production and sent to all parts of the world for breeding needs.

Zhao Si, the mascot, can only manage five generations, and the grain output will decline after five generations, so the five grain gardens shoulder the role of updating and iterating of grain varieties in Daqin.

"The yield is good."

The First Emperor looked at the mountains of corn and nodded like a mountain of gold, showing a smile.

"In addition to the taste is not worse than that of fine grains, corn cobs and corn stalks can also be used as firewood for fire, the yield is also high, people can eat it, feed livestock is also good feed, and the adaptability to the environment is also good." Zhao Si nodded.

"Can production be increased?" The First Emperor nodded, looking at Zhao Si with some expectation in his eyes.

There was a good harvest, but every year it was a good harvest.

Basically, whether it is grains, corn, or three overseas crops, after Zhao Si's jade aura optimization, the yield is almost fixed.

Zhao Si also tried to select the best of the best, hoping to further increase grain production, but unfortunately, there was no effect in the past two years.

"The grain seed estimation is at the end, and then we can only see whether the farmer disciples can select and breed seeds with better genes, in addition, it is to start with fertilizer and tending methods, and now the cultivation methods are still a little rough all over the world, as the means of tending are becoming more and more refined, the farmer's family is rich, and can have more time to intensively cultivate, the grain output will definitely increase steadily, but if you want to double the yield per mu directly as before, I am afraid it will be difficult, unless you can get the fertilizer out." Zhao Si spread his hands and said that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The Puyu aura was obviously not omnipotent, and Zhao Si had already realized it.

There is a limit to the plug-in, and the technology tree at this point still needs to be pointed.

"Fertilizer? What is it? The First Emperor caught the key word and asked.

"A fertilizer...... But there is no clue yet, Your Majesty should not expect too much. Zhao Si shook his head.

Chemical fertilizer is really a powerful agricultural weapon, and the agricultural production after each point out of chemical fertilizer and chemical fertilizer is almost two concepts.

Objectively speaking, the real sense of human beings began to get rid of the shackles of food production is because of chemical fertilizers.

But unfortunately, Zhao Si's knowledge of chemistry is almost none.

His knowledge of chemistry is probably only one thing left to remember the periodic table.

"It's a pity ......," the First Emperor shook his head slightly when he heard this.

Today, Daqin's grain production has more than doubled compared to the previous period as a whole, but it is only sufficient.

The supply of full-time labor was much more abundant than before, but for the First Emperor, it was clear that the more the better.

"How's gunpowder being developed now?" The First Emperor continued to ask.

"The power has been greatly improved, it is no problem to bomb people at close range, and it is still slightly insufficient to be used as a firearm, but it is also fast." Zhao Si replied.

"Can you get it out next year?"

"It's hard to say......" Zhao Si shook his head.

Who dares to pack a ticket for this thing in scientific research?

The First Emperor sighed.

"The New Year is coming, ......"

"Your Majesty's birthday is coming soon." Zhao Si laughed.

To be honest, even if he has been in the Qin State for a long time, Zhao Si is still not used to the New Year of the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty adopted the Zhuan calendar, and the twenty-four solar terms were not right, not to mention, just the first day of October to celebrate the New Year, which Zhao Si couldn't stand.

Winter is the first and autumn is the end of the year.

After the New Year, I have to survive a cold winter, and it always feels almost meaningful.

Zhao Si still likes the arrival of the New Year, when the ice and snow melt, and everyone begins to look forward to the warm spring atmosphere under the heavy snow.

"Birthday?" The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the First Emperor.

After the New Year, it is the forty-first year of the First Emperor.

After this birthday, the First Emperor officially reached the age of fifty-three.

In the original history, the first emperor did not survive the hurdle of fifty years old.

And now, the First Emperor is fifty-three years old and has successfully continued his life for more than four years.

Zhao Si still has a sense of accomplishment, but the First Emperor definitely can't understand Zhao Si's mood.

"After the soldiers have stopped this year, it is time for my mausoleum to continue to be built." The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si.

Because of Zhao Si's proposal to reduce taxes and taxes, the construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was suspended for a long time.

So far, a long time has passed, and even if you count yourself as fifty-three years old this year, no matter how healthy you are, but witnessing Wang Jian's gloomy posture, the first emperor finally knew that he had gone through most of his life.

Zhao Si was a little surprised, because what the First Emperor had just said was not an order, nor was it a notice.

Rather, with a bit of inquiry.

It seems that if Zhao Si does not agree, he can postpone it again.

But there is no need to postpone it.

Everything is for this experience, this year has passed, the four seas are peaceful, the food is abundant, the treasury is abundant, there is no reason to sacrifice the personal feelings of the first emperor.

The construction of the mausoleum can also be regarded as a kind of personal sustenance.

Anyway, the first emperor used terracotta warriors and horses, not living people for burial, although it cost a lot, but this alone has been better than countless emperors.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty also implemented the funeral system, and it is particularly valuable that the First Emperor, as an ancient man more than 2,000 years ago, can do this step.

"Naturally, there is no need to stop the mausoleum, after this year has passed, not to mention the mausoleum, Afang Palace can also continue to be built, and it can even be built bigger and better.

Now that there is abundant grain production, more and more people can be out of production, the country is full, and the number of borers is reduced, what can not be done? Zhao Si said with a smile.

However, speaking of this, Zhao Si's heart suddenly jumped with some subtle thoughts.

"Do you want to repair a section for Your Majesty?" Zhao Si tentatively asked.

At this time, there is nothing taboo about repairing the mausoleum.

The mausoleum, the resting place of the soul.

Many emperors began to prepare their tombs after ascending the throne.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the belief that people and souls are reborn, so the high-end people of this era are still quite open to this aspect.

The reason why Zhao Si suddenly opened his mouth was that he didn't mean anything else, it was purely for personal fun.

The scale of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very large, and there are countless tombs.

In fact, it is more said to be a tomb, than an underground palace.

After all, the meaning of the mausoleum is the place where the soul resides after death.

Well, in fact, it can be understood that a palace was built underground, and you can continue to live after you die.

Of course, Zhao Si didn't have the ability to preside over such a big project, and he didn't want to cover all the mausoleums of the First Emperor.

To put it bluntly, he just planned to DIY a few tombs for the First Emperor alone.

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si in a slightly surprised manner.

"That's right, the minister actually has a lot of ideas in his head." Zhao Si smiled.

"For example, the rice that can provide people with shade, the cannon that can erode for thousands of miles, like the giant ship of the sea palace, and the iron bird flying above the sky...... After the establishment of the Craftsman's Bureau, the minister and they discussed the innovation of future equipment, so he deduced all kinds of things according to the existing theories with his imagination, and found that the things that everyone deduced based on reality were similar, which shows that these things that exist in conjecture are very likely to be invented in the future. Zhao Si scratched his head.

The minister was thinking...... Based on these conjectures, a palace was built for His Majesty from the future generations. Zhao Si gave his own explanation.

How can there be so many nonsense reasons, Zhao Si is purely a bad taste, and he wants to give future generations some shock from the traverser.

For example, what hit the emperor freshly baked Dongfeng Forty-Nine.

Daqin's computer office terracotta warriors......

Televisions, airplane cannons......

It's too boring not to leave some unsolved mysteries for future generations.

"The future generations...... " The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with a deep sigh, he always felt that Zhao Si's purpose was not so simple.

"Yes, the future generations ...... thousands of years later," Zhao Si said with a smile.

The First Emperor was a little moved......

Obviously, when he was alive, he couldn't see the afterlife that Zhao Si said in his mouth, and after he died, he could live in the palace from the afterlife, which seemed to be not bad.

"You and the mapping...... I'll leave a few spaces to spare. The First Emperor groaned.

In fact, up to now, the mausoleum of the first emperor has been repaired, basically the tomb should be repaired, and there is only some finishing work left, or it is more luxurious to build on the existing foundation.

When you think about it, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

What is the difference between 10,000 terracotta warriors and 100,000 terracotta warriors?

Zhao Si's proposal gave the First Emperor a new expectation, which was no longer limited to larger and more luxurious expectations.

It's the new and the unknown, and the expectation.

"Gotcha!" Zhao Si smiled, in a good mood.

"The Xiongnu outside the pass came to report to Maodun, Yue's Donghu wants to join forces to annex the Xiongnu, Meng Tian wants to guard against the border counties, it is difficult to withdraw, and Han Xin is sent out of the pass with 10,000 soldiers and horses to support the Xiongnu, what do you think?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si, who was smiling, a little helplessly.

Now that Zhao Si is a few years older, he is still not willing to do anything serious, and he is interested in those strange things.

Fortunately, the First Emperor was in good health, and there was still a lot of time to cultivate Zhao Si.

The most important thing is that although this kid is lazy, he will not run away from shirking when it is time for him, and he is still a person who can withstand it.

"How can you look at this, sit and watch." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"Han Xin is out, outside the border must be, it may be difficult for others to keep the situation in the grassland, but for Han Xin, it is like a pattern in the palm of his hand, Your Majesty may be able to look forward to things other than protecting the Huns." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"You have a lot of confidence in Han Shin?" The First Emperor chuckled.

"The Donghu Yue clan has a million people together, and can dispatch hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, while the Xiongnu lost Hetao and Hanoi, and the fertile land was occupied by Daqin. The First Emperor spoke.

"10,000 is indeed a small number, but it depends on who is in command." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.

What's more, Han Xin still has Xiang Yu under his command.

If I didn't expect it, the battle outside the gate would probably be the first battle to be fought in the world. Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Han Xin will rush forward?" The First Emperor frowned.

"How can a battle that can be won be considered a light advance?" Zhao Si shook his head.

"Your Majesty, instead of worrying that the situation in the grassland will be ruined, it is better to look at the map of the frontier, which places are worth occupying and which places are tasteless, and at that time, Han Xin of the province will waste his efforts and conquer the territory but cannot be included in the rule of Great Qin." Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor knew Han Xin, after all, Han Xin was Zhao Si's protégé.

Thanks to Zhao Si's blessing, Zhao Si's disciples actually left their names here with the First Emperor.

Although most of them have not really emerged, as long as they show their talents and make contributions, they will be Zhao Si's disciples, and their future careers will also be open.

Among Zhao Si's disciples, there are two people who have received the highest evaluation.

One is Xiao He, and the other is Han Xin.

Xiao He almost single-handedly promoted the implementation of the calculation, its system is fine, the hands are accurate, and the processing is old and spicy, and it is already overkill to be in charge of a county.

Because of his excellent work, Xiao He has been written down by the First Emperor, and after a while, Xiao He will basically be promoted from a county.

And Han Shin ......

Obviously, Zhao Si has no reason to trust Han Xin.

Even this trust has gone beyond common sense, giving people the feeling of opening champagne in the middle of the day.

It seems that Han Shin has sent troops, and he can expect victory.

"Your Majesty forgot? I am good at people, and Han Xin, in my opinion, is a handsome talent that is rare to see in a thousand years. ”

"In short, Meng Tian only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses just to defend it, even if 10,000 soldiers and horses are lost, the loss is not very large, and the border defense line can be maintained, in this case, why doesn't Your Majesty let Han Xin do it?"

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si and nodded after being silent for a moment, this matter has been revealed, which means that Han Xin will have the highest autonomy after leaving the customs.

"Let's go to the beast garden, it just so happens that the cattle, sheep and horses are also fat and strong now."

Zhao Si saw that the Five Grain Garden had been turned, and opened his mouth to invite the First Emperor to move.

Autumn is not only the season of harvest of grains, but also the most energetic season for cattle, sheep and horses.

It just so happened that since the establishment of the Beast Garden, there have been some preliminary results, which can be reviewed by the First Emperor.
