Chapter 82 Liu Ji: I told you earlier that I was doing well in Xianyang City
Wei Shengxue brought the child back to the convoy. A group of people were still watching Wang Li's performance, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.
She walked over, pulled the vines and hung the child she had just picked up in the middle of the crowd. The sudden appearance of the child startled everyone, and they reflexively leaned back to keep some distance.
Wang Li, who was about to stand up, slipped and sat back on the ground.
"What is this?"
Looking back, he saw that it was the person thrown by the immortal. He changed his words decisively, "Who is this person? He looks so grim, maybe he was bullied!"
Wei Shengxue looked at Wang Li, who was shouting loudly and trying to cover up his previous embarrassing situation, smiled and considerately did not point it out.
"I calculated on my fingers that this is a military genius."
If it were the interstellar era, people would definitely know that this was an excuse that could not be more perfunctory when hearing this, but here, they would really take it seriously.
How amazing must it be to be a genius who can have his fortunes told by immortals?
Fusu hurriedly ordered the guards to put him down, spread a blanket on the ground for him to lie down on. Seeing that he was still unconscious, he couldn't help but worry, "He hasn't woken up yet. Is he seriously injured?"
Doctor Yao came over with a medicine box and took the patient's pulse. As soon as he placed his fingers on the pulse, his eyebrows raised slightly.
——Impossible, I must have taken the wrong pulse.
I changed my hand and continued to take the pulse. Hey, the result was still the same.
He looked down at his hands in disbelief. Only a month had passed, and his medical knowledge had declined to this level?!
"You haven't seen it. He just fainted from hunger." The immortal's calm tone sounded, saving the team doctor who was in self-doubt.
Fainted from hunger.
Everyone looked down at the tall and strong young man. With his height and muscle mass, he couldn't possibly be starving to death.
Fusu twitched his lips and signaled the guards to bring some easily digestible liquid food.
"Excuse me, Immortal, where did you see him?"
Wei Shengxue pointed behind him and said, "Half a mile away, in the bushes in the forest, he fainted from hunger and lay there."
After saying that, she spread her hands, with an expression that said the task was completed and it was none of her business. "Anyway, the person has been handed over to you. It's up to you how to arrange it. Don't bother me."
Fusu also knew his personality. He really didn't like to take care of trivial matters. This child was right at his side and was suspected to be a military talent. He couldn't just abandon him.
He asked someone to vacate a carriage to accommodate the person and sent a guard to look after him, asking him to wake up and wash himself first.
Wang Li looked at the carriage and poked Meng Nan beside him with an unconvinced look on his face. "Even the immortals have never praised my grandfather like this. How could a mere brat like him deserve such praise?"
Meng Nan slapped his hand away and said, "Master Immortal's words are never wrong. My Great Qin has gained another powerful general."
Moreover, he is so young, just enough to fill the gap in top generals.
Meng Nan saw this point much more clearly than Wang Li. His great-grandfather's generation had Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others, and the next generation had Wang Ben, Meng Tian and others. By their generation, although they had not yet gone to the battlefield, their father had told them many times that "the son is not like the father."
Because of the friendship between the two families, he even knew that the Marquis Tongwu and his son had a rather average opinion of Wang Li.
It’s not that they are not capable, but their abilities are not as outstanding as those of their ancestors.
Compared to people like his father, he would rather be a civil servant like his second uncle Meng Yi, but he didn't dare say such words out loud, as he would have his legs broken if he did.
…
"System, let's settle this mission."
Along the way, I was so busy suppressing my cultivation that I even forgot to complete the task.
[Ding! Side Quest: Disease Clearance (Completed), Quest Reward Calculating...]
Wei Shengxue suddenly remembered something, "You're such a shabby little guy, even the mission module was improvised. Do you have any rewards for me?"
[Side Quest: Disease Clearance (Completed)
Merit gained: 542300
Rescue personnel: 5324
[Ding! I exceeded the epidemic quarantine mission and received 1 mall discount coupon, which has been stored in my system backpack.]
[Ding! Gain the "Faith of the Changyi People" and automatically be equipped with the title of "Patriot of Disease". Wearing this title will increase the initial favorability of stranger civilians by 20%.]
"Anything else?"
system:【……】
[Ding! The system gives the host an extra 10 costumes, making the host the most handsome guy in the crowd.]
Wei Shengxue looked at the reward, which was obviously different in style, and said, "You paid for this out of your own pocket, right?"
【Just tell me whether you like it or not. 】
Wei Shengxue: "...I like it."
Who can resist a beautiful skirt? Not her!
"The Qin government has put in a lot of effort this time. Has there been any change in the country's destiny?"
The system directly pulls out a list, and the data is much more intuitive than language.
"It has increased so much? And it keeps going up!" Weishengxue was a little surprised.
The treatment has ended, her merits have stopped, so why is the country's fortune still rising?
The happiness and loyalty of the people will affect the country's destiny.
Wei Shengxue's mind raced for a moment before he understood what it meant. "Did Daqin lose popularity in Dang County before?"
Or, was Ying Zheng unpopular in Dang County?
【Based on the information I have collected, yes.】
Not only here, except for those places close to Qin, the others are not very good. The reason why they have not collapsed until now is purely because the military strength of the Qin Dynasty and its rulers are strong enough.
[However, with our help, people's happiness has been increasing, and we expect it to surge again when we distribute new seeds next year.]
Wei Shengxue asked, "Will next year's wave be enough to start the Yun Dynasty?"
[It's hard to say, but there's nothing wrong with letting people start practicing again.]
Weishengxue opened the mall, poked at the list, and found that she was only a little away from purchasing the next item [National Destiny Primary Application Small Product].
So she decisively shared the good news with Ying Zheng.
This kind of "happiness" of watching the progress increase little by little, but always just a little bit short, cannot be enjoyed by her alone.
…
There were many things to do today and the court meeting had not yet ended, so all the court officials saw with their own eyes the shining jade on Your Majesty's desk.
Those who were lucky enough to see it exchanged glances quickly. This is the legendary technique of transmitting sound over thousands of miles!
Ying Zheng ignored their quarrel and quickly picked up the sound transmission stone. The next moment, the immortal's voice came.
"Good news! This time, the people's support has increased significantly, and our national fortune has increased significantly. We only need 1% to accumulate enough national fortune to exchange for the next small product."
The tone, imitating that of a shopping mall promotion, was very inspiring. The ears of the crowd below had perked up, and they all looked at His Majesty with burning eyes.
The benefits of the last physical enhancement were far beyond their imagination.
They estimated that if it weren't for the country's good fortune, the epidemic might have spread to more than just this few areas, and the death toll would not have been small enough to be counted.
All the major epidemics in the past were major disasters. I have never heard of one where not many people died.
They are like passers-by attracted by a store with promotions, craning their necks to look eagerly, wishing they could touch and try the products themselves.
But Ying Zheng, who spent the most time with her, heard "malice" in these overly lively words.
He asked cautiously, "How long will it take before I can redeem my new abilities?"
The jade darkened instantly.
Silent silence spread throughout the Zhangtai Palace.
After a while, the other side probably organized the language, and the jade stone lit up again. "Based on the current progress, it will take a few months."
The officials below were so excited that their blood instantly cooled. They couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a bit long?"
The brightness of the jade suddenly increased. "What? It's been a while? How long? It's always been this speed, okay? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It's difficult to improve the country's fortune."
“Sometimes think about your own reasons!”
"Several months have passed, and people's happiness hasn't increased, food production hasn't increased, and even work efficiency hasn't improved. Are they working hard?"
"Why is the nation's fortune rising so slowly? Let's look for the reasons within ourselves, okay?"
The passionate outburst was so righteous that the officials who raised the questions could not help but reflect on themselves.
Did he really not work hard? Was it really because they didn't work hard enough?
He scratched his head in confusion, touched the bun he had secretly added to his wig, and suddenly came to his senses.
When did they stop working hard!
They stay up late to work overtime every day and never have a holiday. Looking around the world, there is no noble who is more willing to work than the officials of the Qin Dynasty!
He was startled.
The immortal's words were even more stimulating than when he was tricked by Prime Minister Li into coming to Qin. If he hadn't touched the bald head, he would have blamed himself and reflected on himself, and would have gone back and worked up all night!
Putting this little anecdote aside, this is indeed good news.
This time they didn't even have to talk much and made their choice directly.
Ying Zheng said to the jade stone, "When the national luck is high enough, I can directly exchange it for [Animal Reproduction Acceleration]."
"Okay, no problem, but just a reminder, wild animals are still animals, mice are still animals, you have to be prepared in advance."
The rat population is accelerating...!!
Everyone in the court looked changed.
What nightmare news is this!
Rats reproduce rapidly and in large numbers, and now they are even faster. Their homes are about to be taken away by rats!
So the next topic of the court discussion turned to how to prevent rat plagues.
It is impossible to give up. This matter obviously has more advantages than disadvantages. We cannot give up this great benefit just because of this "small" accident.
More war horses are needed to fight against the Huns, more oxen are needed to cultivate land, and more meat is needed for military training...all of these things are waiting to be used, so how can we abandon all subsequent plans because of this?
…
The Xianyang Palace was bustling, and the Si River was also bustling.
It wasn't that the child started making a fuss after waking up. Quite the contrary, after getting enough food and clothes, the child showed a very calm aura, so calm that others almost thought he was a member of the team.
"He remains calm and composed, a sign of a great general." Fusu sighed.
Wei Shengxue glanced at him and silently retorted in her heart: No, that little brat might just be stupid.
Top-notch professionalism, but negative communication skills.
With that said, he seems more like a top-notch professional.
But now is not the time to talk about children. The focus is on the man who is running towards them at a rapid speed, dragging someone with him.
"Master! You finally came! Young Master, Marquis of Wucheng, long time no see. I hope you are well."
The man greeted them excitedly, as if he was very familiar with them. The person he was dragging over was wearing the official uniform of a Qin official and saluted respectfully.
"Greetings to the Immortal Master, to the Eldest Young Master, to the Marquis of Wucheng, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Weishengxue looked up and saw a waterwheel half lying by the river. A group of people were shouting and pulling hard in the water.
"Liu Ji." She remembered this person. He had very strong destiny and great luck.
Liu Ji grinned and laughed: "Master, you still remember me."
"There's something wrong with the structure of this waterwheel. It can't draw much water even if it's set up."
Liu Ji gave her a thumbs-up and praised her with exaggerated words. After praising her, he immediately bowed and asked, "Master, please teach me."
