With Wang Jianguo's assurance, the First Emperor nodded in satisfaction and looked at him friendly: "Thank you."
Wang Jianguo was very excited to receive a thank you from the First Emperor.
He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, old ancestor, you don't have to be so polite! Hehe."
Next, the First Emperor mentioned the current research progress of Daqin.
"By the way, Xiao Zhang, the chairs are already made."
Zhang Yuan looked up in surprise, "Great! This way you won't have to sit cross-legged in court. It's exhausting."
I don't know how they managed to hold on. They're all talented people. I'd rather stand than sit. What's the difference between sitting and being punished?
Qin Shi Huang ignored Zhang Yuan's complaints and continued, "Zhao Gao has already opened up the salt market. He summoned salt merchants from all over the country to hold an auction, and the salt merchants drove up the price of refined salt."
"Now many dignitaries have begun to switch to refined salt, and the market for coarse salt has greatly eased."
[Well, I have to say, Zhao Gao's brain is quite suitable for being a profiteer, but it's a little crooked.]
"Great, what else?"
After Zhang Yuan finished complaining in his heart, he opened his eyes expectantly and waited for his ancestor's next words.
Qin Shi Huang raised his thin lips slightly, with pride written on his face: "Self-heating rice has also made good progress."
"At present, Li Si has confirmed the principle of the heating pack. After many experiments, he has confirmed that it can indeed heat the body."
"We tried using both millet and the polished rice you gave us, and there was no problem at all."
"That way, we won't have to worry about making a fire in the wild in the future."
You know, it is very difficult to make a fire in the ice and snow.
Many times, the soldiers had to march forward on an empty stomach.
Now with heating packs, no matter how harsh the environment is, as long as there is water, the soldiers can eat a bowl of hot rice.
Zhang Yuan gave a thumbs-up and praised sincerely, "Old Ancestor, this is really great!"
Such a breakthrough so soon!
Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.
[That's awesome! I don't know if there have been any other breakthroughs, but I guess not. After all, the ancestor just mentioned the market for refined salt, not whether refined salt has been purified.]
[Also, crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes won't produce fruit so quickly!]
[The instant noodle ancestor didn't mention it either, probably still testing the shelf life! ]
[Pen and paper are even more impossible. Sigh, once I open a channel that allows me to descend into another world, I'll probably be able to teach my ancestors how to do it.]
Qin Shi Huang: ...
Well, you have said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?
However, when he heard Zhang Yuan's last words, the First Emperor was overjoyed.
What!
I can hand over the practice of paper and pen to Daqin!
This is really great news.
After everyone chatted for a while, the First Emperor asked to say goodbye first.
"Let's stop here for today. I need to return to Daqin first and pass on the treatment method for smallpox."
Zhang Yuan looked at the empty plate on the table and muttered to himself.
[Okay, we have to leave after dinner, this heartless and ungrateful old man!]
Qin Shi Huang: ....
I just haven't been in the mood to eat for two days! I'm hungry!
He had been worrying about smallpox these past two days and had no appetite at all.
[Ah, I guess the food from later generations has spoiled our ancestors' appetites. I wonder if they wait for this dinner with an empty stomach every day, hahaha.]
Qin Shi Huang felt that he would never admit this.
Yes, the food in the afterlife is delicious.
But on an empty stomach or something...
Well, after he ate the food from later generations, he did eat less every day in Daqin, just to wait for this meal.
[But it's time for the old man to go. After all, Sisu's smallpox is so serious right now. He should go back quickly and pass on the treatment plan.]
Qin Shi Huang agreed with this statement.
Yes, he just knew that smallpox could be solved.
My mood relaxed and I felt my stomach was empty.
That's why I stayed for dinner.
Otherwise I would have left long ago.
Everyone stood up and bid farewell to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor nodded to everyone and left the supermarket.
......
After Qin Shihuang returned to Daqin, he looked around in the tent.
The supplies that Xiao Zhang mentioned were not found.
What's going on?
I couldn't help but frown, my heart sinking.
Could it be that someone stole the things while he was away?
Just as the thought came to his mind, packages of various sizes suddenly appeared on the floor of the tent.
Piles upon piles, getting higher and higher.
After a while, it had piled up to the top of the tent, and the tent began to shake.
The First Emperor's pupils trembled and he quickly ran out of the tent.
The second after he stepped out of the tent, the tent collapsed...
The supplies covered the land in front of them at a rapid speed.
Many people rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
The guards' exclamations continued to be heard.
The First Emperor's brows furrowed, and he shouted, "Everyone, be quiet! Get out! No one is allowed to speak!"
At this time, Fusu also trotted over. He ran to the front of the First Emperor and gave him a worried look.
"My Lord, are you all right?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were still fixed on the growing supplies on the ground, and he nodded without turning his head.
"I'm fine."
He gave orders to Fusu again.
"Fusu, evacuate the crowd immediately and have people seal off this area. We must not let any news of this incident leak out."
