Chapter 123: 520,000 Pieces of Clothes
Let him show off!
Zhao Yuanxi felt that his previous worries were completely unnecessary. In fact, Ying Zheng didn't care at all.
The Qin State defeated the Zhao State, and the Qin people were all excited.
Zhao Yuanxi has also been very happy recently, not because of Qin's victory, but because she has also achieved new victories.
The winter wheat planted last autumn finally had a good harvest.
Although the yield of this batch of winter wheat is not as good as that of wheat grown under modern intensive management, it is much higher than the winter wheat commonly grown in Qin State today. The yield per mu has reached 25 dan, which is almost doubled.
The wheat grains almost filled the granaries in Yongcheng.
At first, corn was just a small-scale experiment, and the only people who knew about it were the farmers in Lugewu and those around Zhao Yuanxi. No one else in Yongcheng knew about the wonders of corn.
But winter wheat is something that everyone knows about. Moreover, Zhao Yuanxi planted at least 10,000 acres of it this time, which naturally attracted attention from many parties. Some people heard the news and sent people to inquire about the matter.
Ying Zheng was the one who acted the fastest. During the winter wheat harvest, he sent Sun Li to Yongcheng to discuss the matter.
The fact that the King of Qin asked the Internal Secretary of Grain to handle this matter personally shows how much he valued this batch of good seeds.
The Qin State was not an ironclad entity. The Qin State could send spies to other vassal states, and other countries naturally also had spies lurking in the Qin State.
The King of Qin sent Sun Li to Yongcheng many times. Someone found something wrong and after some investigation, they knew everything that was going on in Yongcheng.
The granary in Yongcheng was robbed several times. Although only a few bags of wheat grains were stolen each time, it was a major event concerning the grain supply of the Qin State.
The county magistrate could no longer tolerate this and had to send heavy troops to guard the area. He also arrested a group of petty thieves and put them directly into prison for strict trial.
These people were sent by the State of Zhao, the State of Qi, and the other six states, except the State of Han.
Sun Li couldn't help but twitch his lips. In order to avoid any more trouble, he took the food and returned to Xianyang.
Zhao Yuanxi agreed to this. She didn't expect that this small amount of winter wheat would bring more trouble than corn.
Wasn't her big corn rare enough? It's true that people can only imagine and understand what they have seen.
After the winter wheat was harvested, Zhao Yuanxi once again returned to that strange system space.
It was still a vast expanse of white, but on the screen in the middle there were flashing snowflakes, which made Zhao Yuanxi frightened.
"You're not going to break, are you?" Zhao Yuanxi reflexively tapped the edge of the screen.
But she forgot her current strength, and with one palm strike, the screen went black.
She pulled her hand back sheepishly, "Hey! Are you okay? Wake up! Don't sleep anymore!"
The screen flickered briefly before returning to normal with difficulty. [Detected host violently attacking system space. Penalty now in effect. The countdown for the quest to capture Qin King Ying Zheng has begun.]
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the huge number 63072000 seconds and fell into silence for a long time.
She did a rough calculation and figured out that this was exactly ten years.
Could it be that she can only live for ten years?
Just a light tap from her left her lifespan reduced to only ten years?
"You are not following the rules! I was just saving you! How can you repay kindness with evil?" Zhao Yuanxi widened his eyes and asked loudly.
[The system is not broken, it's just in standby mode. The host's assumption is completely unnecessary. The host's violent attack just now caused the system to expend a large amount of energy to repair itself. The host should compensate the system.] The system said indifferently.
Zhao Yuanxi's heart sank. Although she had the idea of conquering Ying Zheng, whether it could succeed or not was not something she could decide alone!
Given Ying Zheng's personality, Zhao Yuanxi felt that if there was any living person who could make him like him 100%, the sun would probably rise from the west.
[Host, don't be disappointed. Ying Zheng's favorability has now reached 5%. Progress is rapid!]
"Hehe——" Zhao Yuanxi couldn't laugh. Is this a lot?
It's been almost a year! Right now, it's only 5%. At this rate, it won't pass in ten years.
"I want to be quiet."
[The host can then be quiet in the system space, and the system will not disturb you.]
The snow screen appeared again, and Zhao Yuanxi resisted the urge to slap it. "Wake up, you haven't given me new seeds yet."
tear——
[That's a quest item.] The system emphasized.
"Give me the mission props quickly! And the reward for the last mission." Zhao Yuanxi didn't want to play with it anymore.
She felt like she had a burden on her back that she shouldn't have to bear.
She now regrets why she came here and why she wanted to take a picture of it.
[Task is being issued——
Task 3: Plant cotton and prepare a new set of clothes for each Qin soldier
Mission duration: ten months
Mission props: cotton seeds
Mission Reward: One Poison-Proof Pill.]
Even though Zhao Yuanxi was already used to the unusualness of the system, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laugh when he heard Mianhua.
If she had been able to grow cotton last year, the number of people who froze to death in Yongcheng would probably have been reduced by half.
The growth cycle of cotton is about seven months. The system gave her three months to make clothes, which really didn't give her any extra time.
The Qin State had 500,000 regular soldiers, which could reach 800,000 in wartime.
Even if she broke her hand, she couldn't have made so many sets of clothes.
Zhao Yuanxi felt that the system was setting a trap for him again.
According to the productivity in ancient times, it would be almost impossible to produce 500,000 sets of clothes in three months, unless the whole country's strength was mobilized.
She could only try to negotiate with the system, "How about you give me a little more time? I don't think I can finish producing 500,000 or 600,000 sets of clothes unless you move a modern garment factory here!"
Zhao Yuanxi's words sounded pitiful, but unfortunately the system remained indifferent.
[The mission cannot be changed, and the system cannot move a 21st-century garment factory to you. Please do not have such opportunistic thoughts.]
......
"Then let's be clear. Qin is currently at war and could potentially recruit troops at any time. If Ying Zheng recruits a million or eight hundred thousand soldiers, then wouldn't I have to do the same?"
[The system currently counts 523,760 Qin soldiers in active service. This is the host's minimum target!]
Zhao Yuanxi sighed and stopped struggling.
She got the elixir that can invulnerable her to all diseases, which was something worth celebrating.
Compared with the previous Libashanxiqigaishi Pill, this pill looks more like an elixir. The round outer skin is a colorful black, and the taste it emits is sweet with a slight bitterness.
When Zhao Yuanxi woke up, the first thing he did was to check the pill that looked delicious.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Zhao Yuanxi was obviously more cautious this time. He sniffed it carefully and made sure that there was no strange smell before he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
