After finishing a bucket of instant noodles, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt like she was not full yet and wanted to eat a second bucket, but she was afraid that she would not be able to finish it, so she had to give up.
Then, she sat on the chair and watched the First Emperor and Fusu finish two buckets of instant noodles each...
The First Emperor wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, then asked Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Girl, this instant noodles..."
Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head. "It's not very realistic, because the current wheat yield per mu is too low."
"However, I can use my points to help buy instant noodles, but I need the money from my ancestors."
The First Emperor waved his hand proudly, "No problem, as long as we can give our Qin soldiers something good to eat, money is not important."
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes are full of stars: Our ancestors are so domineering!
She continued, "I also bought high-yield rice seeds, wheat seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc."
Cheng Xiaoxiao took out the three kinds of food that she had promised to give to Fusu as seeds and introduced them to the First Emperor again.
Finally, Cheng Xiaoxiao held up a sprouted potato and emphasized, "Sprouted potatoes must not be eaten because they produce toxins that can be fatal."
Fusu frowned and said worriedly, "But potatoes are so precious. The people of Daqin have suffered for too long. I'm afraid they won't be willing to throw them away."
Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Don't throw it away. You can cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces, add some wood ash, and plant them in the ground. You'll be able to harvest more potatoes next year."
The First Emperor and Fusu nodded repeatedly.
If you tell the people this, you will definitely convince them.
…
The next day, morning court.
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the First Emperor asked Qi Yuan to read out the imperial edict recognizing Cheng Xiaoxiao as his adopted daughter, giving her the title of "Princess Xingguo" and granting her a princess's mansion.
The First Emperor sat on the dragon throne and spoke with great authority, "Seeing Princess Xingguo is like seeing me. Princess Xingguo is gentle by nature. If you bully her, don't blame me for having thoughts about your heads."
The entire court was in an uproar. They had no idea where this Princess Xingguo had come from, and how could she be so highly regarded by His Majesty...
They glanced at Fusu secretly, wondering what Fusu thought when he heard this.
What ideas could Fusu have? He had no ideas at all.
Under the gaze of the entire court, Fusu was the first to lead the charge and shout, "Father, your majesty is wise! Your son congratulates you!"
All the civil and military officials in the court: “???” You don’t have any idea at all?
But Fusu has already expressed his position, and they can't just stand there.
Then, all the civil and military officials in the court bowed their heads and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The First Emperor was delighted and said, "My dear ministers, please don't bow!"
Fusu stepped aside, thinking calmly, "How old is Cheng Xiaoxiao? If she's older than me, shouldn't I call her sister? From ancestor to younger brother?"
"Eh~" Fusu shuddered, "It must be smaller than me!"
After the court session.
The First Emperor ordered Qi Yuan to lead a team of palace servants, carrying more than a dozen boxes of silver and more than thirty boxes of rewards, and march towards the palace where Cheng Xiaoxiao lived.
The palace servants on the road all looked at this scene with envy.
"I'm so envious! I wish I was the one who got the title!"
"There's no point in being envious, it's just that he's lucky!"
"Why are people so different? We're all women, but they're princesses and we're slaves!"
"Your Majesty is simply getting senile. Otherwise, why would he so casually confer the title of Princess Xingguo on someone else? You know, Princess Xingguo..."
"Hush! Don't you want to live? If people hear you, do you still want to save your head?"
…
Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little dumbfounded looking at so many boxes. "You said these were all given to me by my ancestors? And you also named me Princess Xingguo? And gave me a princess's mansion?"
She asked Qi Yuan three questions in a row.
Qi Yuan pointed at the dozen or so boxes filled with silver and money and said, "These are not, the rest are all."
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Oh my god! I've become the Princess of Daqin all of a sudden."
She clasped her hands together and kept bowing in all directions, "Thank you, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Yama King..."
"It must be your blessing that I can become the princess of Daqin."
Qi Yuan was so amused by what he saw, "Your Highness, will you open it and take a look?"
"No, no, no." Cheng Xiaoxiao waved her hands. "Ancestor...ah, no! The treasures given by father are all good. There's no need to look at them."
Cheng Xiaoxiao waved her sleeves and put all the boxes into the space.
Cheng Xiaoxiao called out to Cheng Mianmian in her heart, "Mianmian, get up, it's time to work, get up and count the money."
Cheng Mianmian looked at her master speechlessly.
It’s already so late, you should have gotten up earlier!
But!
Cheng Mianmian said she was very happy to be able to count money.
"Understood, Master."
After Cheng Mianmian finished answering, she opened the boxes one by one. Inside were bronze coins with a round square hole engraved with "half a liang", commonly known as "Qin half a liang".
Qin Banliang: weighs twelve zhu. The outer circle symbolizes the mandate of heaven, and the inner square represents imperial power. The coin is made into a round outer and square inner shape, which symbolizes the emperor's dominance over the world and the supremacy of imperial power.
Wherever the Qin Banliang circulated, the majesty of Emperor Qin Shihuang's imperial power spread.
Cheng Mianmian poured all the Qin Banliang on the ground in the space, and then turned into a human form and lay in the pile of money.
Cheng Mianmian sighed, "Sure enough, lying in a pile of money is different, it's comfortable~"
Outside space.
Qi Yuan took out a list from his wide sleeves.
"His Majesty asked me to pass this on to the princess, saying that she would understand after reading it."
