Chapter 62 She is a good person
Zhao Yuanxi swore in her heart that she really did not cause any sabotage on purpose.
She just hit it, although she used a little more force, but she never expected it to be so fragile.
"Well, how about I compensate you with one?" Zhao Yuanxi gave an awkward smile and moved the table that was broken into two pieces to the side.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "No need."
"What about the land in Chu State..." Zhao Yuanxi rubbed his hands and asked unwillingly.
"The Queen Mother thinks too highly of me. Although Changping Jun is the son of King Kaolie of Chu, King Kaolie of Chu has passed away and his son King You of Chu is on the throne. If I use Changping Jun's name to buy land in Chu, what do you think the officials of Chu will think? I'm afraid that I will bring all kinds of troubles to the country." Ying Zheng sneered.
A new emperor, new ministers.
When King Kaolie of Chu was alive, Lord Changping had no reputation in Chu. Now that King You of Chu has ascended the throne, Lord Changping would inevitably arouse suspicion from others if he acted rashly in Chu.
What's more, Changping Jun is now in his Qin State and has become a Qin citizen. In order to avoid suspicion, he has never contacted the Chu people, so there is really nothing he can do.
Zhao Yuanxi only thought that Changping Jun was the child of the King of Chu, and forgot that the current King of Chu was no longer Changping Jun's father. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Is this sugar business really that important?"
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Of course, these foods are important. You are of high status and enjoy wealth and splendor, so you naturally don't know that for ordinary people, even a bite of sweet food is a luxury."
This is also the reason why Zhao Yuanxi got angry when he heard him say that Qin State has no shortage of these candies.
It’s not that they lack nothing. The people of Qin lack everything. Only the nobles feel that they lack nothing in their lives.
Ying Zheng had experienced the hardships of common people's lives. During the years he was a hostage in Zhao State, he had not had enough food to eat and was bullied by others.
Sweetness was also precious to him at that time, so after he returned to Qin, he was also extremely fond of sweets. Until someone poisoned the candy he ate, he knew then that as a king, he should not let others know his preferences, and he gave up sweets from then on.
At this moment, he seemed to recall the extremely difficult time he had faced in Zhao State. His eyelashes trembled, "If you really want, I can ask others to help you."
It is indeed difficult for Changping Jun to help her, but he, the King of Qin, can. He has people all over the six countries. It is not difficult for him to find a piece of land in Chu to grow crops.
Zhao Yuanxi said happily, "Really? Thank you so much, you're such a kind person! When I get my sugar factory up and running, I'll give you the first one to try. Don't worry! I won't let you get any less money!"
A good man? This was the first time someone called him that. Ying Zheng curled his lips. If he was a good man, then everyone in the world would be a good person.
If we really want to talk about good people——
Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Zhao Yuanxi. This man could be considered one!
There is probably no one in this world who wants nothing more than to make life better for the people.
What a strange person.
"Why are you so nice to these common people?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
Zhao Yuanxi answered without hesitation: "Because that's what my teacher taught me!"
"teacher?"
Ying Zheng caught the word and began to examine the person in front of him again.
Since there is a teacher, the person in front of me is probably the same as me.
Unlike the empty talk of Confucianism, her ideas are somewhat similar to those of Mohism. Mohism advocates universal love and non-aggression, and also likes to do some strange things.
But she is different from the Mohists. She acts like a farmer and speaks a bit like a Confucian. What kind of place would raise someone like her?
Zhao Yuanxi realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends, "He is Zheng'er's teacher. I learned a little from him."
Zhao Ji was born a dancer and couldn't even recognize all the characters, so how could she have any teacher?
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Yuanxi with a smile. This man was really bold. When he couldn't find a reason, he used himself as an excuse.
"The King studied under the Legalists, and the Queen Mother has learned by analogy, and has learned some miscellaneous knowledge, including the Confucian and Mohist doctrines."
"I am gifted, and you have seen too little." Zhao Yuanxi acted like the empress dowager and spoke earnestly.
Ying Zheng looked at her quietly, smiling faintly without saying a word.
After a day, most of the cornfield had been harvested, and Chu was now busy in the fields with his men.
When Zhao Yuanxi and Ying Zheng arrived, they were very busy.
Although he was mentally prepared, Ying Zheng still couldn't hide his shock when he saw the cornfield in front of him. He seemed to have seen the scene of his Qin cavalry trampling on the borders of the six countries without any worries.
"You're smiling so happily? Where's the land you promised to give me?" Zhao Yuanxi was very satisfied to see his naive look.
"Give it to me, it's given to me!" Ying Zheng smiled sincerely!
A mere thousand acres of fertile farmland is nothing. If you can get such good seeds, it would not be an exaggeration to reward you with ten thousand acres or even a hundred thousand acres.
Zhao Yuanxi saw his fiery eyes and blinked. Was her reward too little? She felt that her cheap nephew could give her more gold coins!
Chu was slightly stunned when he saw Madam Zhao coming again today. He saw that there was an extraordinary young man following behind the madam, "Madam, there is this one too?"
"This is my nephew. I'm here to bring him to see you today."
Chu was a little surprised. He thought this man was his wife's biological son, but it turned out to be just a nephew?
Seeing the two similar faces in front of him, Chu scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
Not only him, but also the villagers who came with him seemed a little strange. However, since nobles often marry close relatives, it’s not strange that the aunt and nephew look alike! ?
"I have met this gentleman."
Chu turned to Zhao Yuanxi and said, "Madam, we have a request."
The people behind him looked a little embarrassed.
"Well, everyone wants to ask, does Madam plan to grow corn here with us in the future? If necessary, can we let them grow it too?"
After the corn grew, people came to Chu every day to ask what it was. They heard that it was a new kind of grain, and no one was optimistic at first. But when the cobs grew later, the people in Lugewu realized that it was actually a treasure.
Having missed the opportunity this year, they can only set their sights on next year, hoping that they can get some corn seeds next year and plant them themselves.
"Of course we do." Zhao Yuanxi smiled. "Not only that, I'll be sending over another batch of winter wheat seeds in a few days. I'll have to trouble you to plant them all then."
With the corn as a precedent, everyone naturally believed that this lady really had good seeds and immediately agreed.
When Ying Zheng heard that there were new seeds, his ears seemed to stand up and his heart began to itch. How could he not give him the new seeds?
He stared at Zhao Yuanxi with a fiery gaze.
