Li Si said, "Your Majesty has been extremely busy these days. I wonder..."
"Is there anything I can do to help Your Majesty?"
Um?
Are you here to ask him for work?
Ying Zheng asked, "Have you finished Li Qing's affairs?"
"Your Majesty, I'm done."
Li Si lowered his head and said, "After finishing my daily work, I feel empty inside."
"I feel so ashamed of your Majesty's cultivation and the trust you have placed in me!"
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to assign me some work to keep me busy."
"Only then will I feel at ease!"
Wang Wan, who was busy handling government affairs at the side, felt a sense of shock in his heart!
Good job!
Are you here to steal his job?!
Still empty?
Do you feel at ease only when you are busy?
This guy is a king of rolls!
Wang Wan just wanted to vomit blood.
With such a king of papers around, he dared not be lazy.
I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, His Majesty would take over my work.
There’s really no time to cry!
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his minister who was so active.
I just feel particularly comforted in my heart.
Thinking of the corn that had been worrying for two days, he spoke.
"I do have something that needs someone to do, but..."
"Just what?"
Ying Zheng said, "It's just that this matter is not easy to handle. We need to be extremely careful and cautious."
"If we are not careful, it will be a fatal blow to the entire Qin Dynasty."
What?
There is such an important thing, but no one is doing it?
Li Si quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty! I am ready!"
"Please leave it to me! I will complete the task at my death!"
His tone was tragic and resolute!
There seems to be a momentum that says if you fail to do it, you will be beheaded!
"good!
Ying Zheng said, "Since Li Qing is so determined, I'll leave the task of growing corn to you."
What?
Planting corn?
Li Si was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, plant...plant corn?"
"yes.
Ying Zheng explained, "This is the seed of a crop I got from you, sir."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng turned to look at Xia Lin beside him.
"Go get the seed corn."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xia Lin walked towards the side hall and came back with a box in a short while.
Ying Zheng said, "Give it to him."
"promise."
Xia Lin handed the box to Li Si.
Li Si reached out to take it and opened the box.
Seeing a bag made of special material inside, he looked up in confusion.
"His Majesty?"
Ying Zheng said, "Open it and take a look."
"yes."
Li Si reached out and opened the bag, and saw that it was filled with red and white pills.
"Is this corn?"
"right."
Ying Zheng said, "It was given to me by the master. It's corn seeds. You can use it for planting."
"The yield of this corn is very encouraging. It can produce 500 kilograms of grain at a time and can be planted twice a year."
What?
Can 500 kilograms of grain be produced at a time?
Can two crops be grown in one year?
Li Si exclaimed, "That only means we can produce one ton of grain a year?!"
"That's right."
Ying Zheng said, "That's what the master said."
"I haven't found the right person to do this."
"Li Qing's appearance actually surprised me."
Li Si quickly said, "It is my honor to share your majesty's worries!"
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Li Qing."
Ying Zheng said, "There are set times and months for planting corn."
"I will write down some notes later, and Li Qing will study them carefully."
"This planting and cultivation is related to the entire Qin army, as well as the livelihoods of the people. I hope Li Qing will pay special attention and remember not to be careless."
Li Si quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will treat this with extreme caution!"
“Never waste a seed!”
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and then picked up the pen.
I took a piece of paper from the table and wrote down the information about the planting time and farming methods of corn.
The soil and environment suitable for farming and growth, as well as the frequency and method of fertilizing...are all written down in detail.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Ying Zheng blew the ink dry and handed the paper to Xia Lin beside him.
Xia Lin quickly took it with both hands, held it, and presented it to Li Si.
Li Si took the paper and put it solemnly into his arms.
After bowing to Ying Zheng again, he quickly walked out of the hall holding the box of corn.
There is wind under my feet!
From now on, he has officially entered His Majesty's eyes!
Even His Majesty has given him the task. How far can it be for him to go to the inn to see the master?
He had a hunch that he would be able to see the gentleman soon!
After arranging the corn planting, Ying Zheng relaxed a lot.
He believed in Li Si's ability to get things done.
I just didn't think of him before.
Now that he came up to him himself, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Looking at the mountain of bamboo slips in front of him, Ying Zheng began to think.
When should we promote paper and brushes?
These bamboo slips are too tiring to look at.
But if all the ministers were asked to replace the bamboo slips they usually use to write memorials with paper.
The demand for this paper is too great, and it may be difficult to supply it at once.
Feng Qing's papermaking craftsmen might not be able to finish the work even if they worked overtime.
As for the aristocratic families, if they knew the use of this paper, I'm afraid it would cause a storm.
