"Prince Dan's envoy will come to the court the day after tomorrow. You will go with me that morning."
"Wait, wait, wait, I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by 'going to the court to see the emperor'?" Zhao Jun suddenly said. "Not only did you not deal with them, you even let them into the palace to kill you?"
"Hmph, who's going to kill whom?" he said cruelly.
That’s right, now that Ying Zheng already knows about this, he still lets them into the palace. He must be trying to catch them in a trap.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just figure these out in the next two days." Ying Zheng glanced at her sideways.
Zhao Jun understood the look. The boss was not satisfied with your progress.
"Of course not. In fact, I have already achieved significant results and am about to report them to the king. Of course, I also need the king to provide necessary help, haha." Zhao Jun moved forward slightly.
"Really? Report it." Ying Zheng waved his hand and was in a good mood.
"I have some corn seeds here. If planted well, the yield per mu can reach at least 700 to 800 kilograms."
"What? You're telling the truth!"
Before Zhao Jun could finish his words, Ying Zheng suddenly stood up from his seat, and the loudness of his voice scared Zhao Jun half to death.
The eunuch Sun outside the palace was trembling with fear. What happened? Did he make the king angry?
Ying Zheng stared at her with sharp eyes. Zhao Jun didn't dare to look up and just stole a few glances carefully before speaking.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever told a lie?"
"Okay, if this thing succeeds, I will reward you handsomely!" Ying Zheng clicked his fingers twice vigorously.
This was the first time that Zhao Jun saw him so excited. No one could compare to Ying Zheng in his enthusiasm for building an empire.
"Where are the seeds now? Let me see them." Ying Zheng looked around at her and didn't see that she was carrying anything.
"I put the seeds away for now. I can't get them for the time being. Also, I have something else I need the king's help with." Zhao Jun waved her clean sleeves. Of course, she couldn't take them out now.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Ying Zheng suppressed his excitement, restored his normal dignity, and sat down again.
"I hope the king can allocate me a piece of land as an experimental field, and preferably some strong helpers. Once the experimental field yields results, the king can see the yield with his own eyes, so that it can be promoted to various states and counties."
This was something Zhao Jun had thought of before. Although she had the seeds, she had never planted them herself. She didn't know whether the seeds could adapt to the climate and soil in Xianyang, and whether the yield would be reduced, so she had to set up an experimental field.
"No problem. The land in the western suburbs of Xianyang is vacant and close to the royal palace. I will assign a team of lieutenants and the Taicang Commander to you when the time comes."
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Jun was happy that he finally had someone to order around.
"The yield of this corn is really that high. How long will it take you to grow it?"
"Generally speaking, the growth cycle of corn is about 100 to 130 days, but the exact period depends on the planting process."
"Okay, now your most important task is to do this well. I really hope that you can do something."
A hint of gentleness suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's usually stern face, and he even began to call her an immortal. It seems that food is still the most attractive.
"No, no, I will definitely work hard, haha."
If a corn can make Ying Zheng so nice, then won't he go crazy when I develop wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, papermaking and printing?
Well, I have figured out Ying Zheng’s thoughts!
Zhao Jun happily retreated and started skipping work openly. Anyway, she would have to go out on field work every day in a few days, so she would take a rest for the next two days.
She had been here for a long time, but she had not yet had a proper visit to the Qin Palace. Zhao Jun was in a good mood and began to stroll around. Looking at the quaint buildings everywhere, she felt like she was visiting a historical site.
She seemed to be wandering around, but she deliberately avoided the harem where the concubines lived. There would definitely be trouble when a group of women lived together, so she didn't want to cause trouble.
However, although she did not look for trouble, she did run into a troublesome person.
Prince Fusu.
He seemed to have just come out from the direction of the harem, accompanied by several servants. His face looked unhappy. He happened to bump into her. Should he say hello to her?
"Young Master An."
It’s better to call one, after all, she has a filter for Fusu, and he is still a child now.
"An, you were the one who went to my father's bedroom last time." Fusu stopped and asked.
"Yes, the eldest master saw me." Zhao Jun was not too surprised. Although Fusu was kneeling there at that time, he was not blind, so he should have seen him.
"There are rarely any female rulers in my father's chambers. I recently heard that a new female historian has been appointed, and I thought it was you."
This surprised Zhao Jun a little. The eldest son of Qin State actually noticed a little female historian. Should he be said to have a good memory or not doing his job properly?
"I have something else to do, so I can't stay long." After saying that, he hurried away with his entourage.
The King of Zhao looked back at Fusu who was walking away and shook his head.
It is said that Fusu in history was kind-hearted and even a little soft-hearted. Now I see that it is not a lie. He can speak so gently and politely to a little lady like me.
However, he ultimately lacked some kingly aura. The empire needed a gentle prince, but it could not have an overly benevolent emperor.
I don’t know if he can correct it at his current age, but thinking of his biological mother, it may be difficult.
The next day, Zhao Jun received the seeds sent by Sophia with great anticipation, two large bags full of corn seeds and a bag of tomato seeds. She looked at the seeds piled in the room with an excited smile, and now she was waiting to go to the western suburbs.
But before going to the western suburbs, she had to go see the famous Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang first.
The King of Zhao got up very early today because Ying Zheng had said before that he would accompany him to court and personally see Prince Dan's envoy.
She wore the clothes that the palace maid had sent her earlier and came to the front hall. At this time, Ying Zheng was already dressed and ready to go to court.
"Here I come."
Ying Zheng stood in front of a smooth glass mirror. Zhao Jun knew at a glance that this was the one she had exchanged with Ying Zheng before. The scratches from her previous use could still be vaguely seen on it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is truly majestic today, exuding such domineering aura that it's difficult to even look directly at him."
Maybe he knew that something exciting was going to happen today, but Ying Zheng wore a new outfit today. It was still mainly black, but the lining that occasionally showed at the hem was dark red, as if foreshadowing something.
"Really? I really am so ugly that I dare not look directly at myself." He looked into the clear mirror and could even see a few hairs on his face. He raised his hands and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
"Of course, the king is so powerful." Zhao Jun closed his eyes and began to brag wildly.
"Well, then let the world see that no one can stop me."
