Early the next morning.
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers standing below with their heads bowed, thinking in his heart.
Who should be sent to plant cassava?
Cassava is related to the food problem of the entire Qin Dynasty, so we must find someone trustworthy.
This person must not only be trustworthy, but also be capable, strategic, and able to get things done.
He arranged for Wang Wan to stay in the palace every day to handle government affairs.
Feng Quji wanted to keep an eye on the mines and papermaking.
When Meng Tian had some free time, he was asked to develop brushes.
Let him plant cassava...
It doesn't seem right.
That’s right!
Meng Yi!
Let him go to other counties to grow cassava!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said, "Meng Yi will stay, and the others can leave if they have nothing else to do."
Um?
Meng Yi?
Why did Your Majesty keep Meng Yi here?
Although the ministers were confused, they did not say much.
They all bowed and said, "Yes."
Then they left the hall in an orderly manner.
Wang Wan stayed behind without Ying Zheng saying anything, ready to handle today's government affairs.
Although His Majesty only entrusted him with less important government affairs.
But there are also a lot of government affairs piling up every day.
It's like a small hill, piled up in piles.
Fortunately, he has also improved his speed these days.
In the past, he would not finish his daily government affairs until 3:15 PM every day.
Recently it has been promoted to just after the hour of Wei and it has been processed.
He believed that as long as he worked harder and rolled a little harder.
In just half a day, you can finish all the government affairs for the whole day!
Thinking of this, Wang Wan walked to the desk where he usually sat.
There was a cushion on the chair.
His Majesty saw that he was working hard and asked the palace servants to make this for him a few days ago.
Put it on the chair so that sitting will be less tiring.
At the end of the day, my buttocks just felt a little sore, but not painful.
Lifting up her skirt, Wang Wan happily sat down on the cushion.
He picked up the bamboo slips on the table and began to read them.
Meng Yi, who was standing in the hall, was a little confused.
Why did Your Majesty suddenly look for him?
Yesterday, when his brother returned home, he suddenly told him that there was an inn in the mountains outside Xianyang.
There was a man in the inn, and his name was Mr.
Your Majesty values this person particularly.
He also said that the man had originally planned to visit Xianyang for a day, but was suddenly delayed by something and did not come.
He asked about other things, but his brother didn't elaborate, just told him not to ask too many questions.
I will let him know when the time comes.
What else is there to say? Don't go out and talk nonsense. When the time comes for him to meet you, he will understand everything.
Now that Your Majesty has kept him here, is it related to that gentleman?
Is His Majesty planning to let him meet that gentleman? To recognize his face?
Ying Zheng said, "I have something I want to entrust to you."
Meng Yi quickly said, "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."
"I happened to find something called cassava, which can be used as food."
Ying Zheng said, "The annual yield per mu is two tons, and the highest is four to five tons."
"If we can successfully grow this cassava, we will have another new food variety in the Great Qin."
"Moreover, the yield of cassava is two to three times higher than that of millet, sorghum, and wheat."
"If we replace the original food with cassava, or mix them together and eat them."
"That will greatly alleviate the people's food problem and prevent them from starving to death."
"And the soldiers in the army, with cassava, they can have enough to eat and have more strength to fight the enemy!"
Daqin is short of food!
Not only is there a shortage of food, but there is also a shortage of money!
What?
Cassava?
The annual yield per mu is two tons, and the maximum is four to five tons?
Meng Yi asked, "Your Majesty, what does this cassava...look like?"
Ying Zheng bent down, picked up a basket on the ground and handed it to a palace servant beside him.
"Give it to him."
"promise."
The palace maid stepped forward quickly and took the basket with both hands.
He brought the basket to Meng Yi, "Master Meng."
Meng Yi took the basket, which was covered with a piece of gray burlap.
He lifted the burlap and took a look.
Inside were pieces of green stuff.
"Your Majesty? This is cassava?"
"right."
Ying Zheng said, "The habits of this cassava are not suitable for Xianyang. We need to go to other counties and find a warm and humid place to grow it."
"I want you to grow this cassava."
ah?
Let him grow cassava?
Or go to other counties to plant?
Meng Yi was a little stunned.
Before he could speak, Ying Zheng spoke again.
"This cassava is related to the food supply of the entire Qin Dynasty, and it concerns the people of the Qin Dynasty and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty."
"I don't trust anyone else with this, I only trust you, Mr. Meng."
At some point, Ying Zheng had already walked in front of Meng Yi.
He reached out and patted Meng Yi on the shoulder.
"I hope you won't disappoint my expectations."
The tone is full of expectation, respect, and trust.
For a moment, Meng Yi felt that he was the most important person in front of His Majesty!
Only he can complete this difficult task assigned by His Majesty!
Isn’t it just growing cassava?
Isn’t it just going to other counties to grow cassava?
no problem!
It’s very simple!
He's a species!
No one can snatch it from him!
Meng Yi's eyes were filled with excitement and drive. "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
"If the cassava cannot be grown, I will never return to Xianyang!!"
