Daqin: You were allowed to supervise the country, but not enthroned!

Chapter 4 The situation in Taigong

Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace, inside the main hall.

A middle-aged man in a black dragon robe, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a long beard reaching his chest, was looking at a memorial in his hand.

In front of the middle-aged man, Eunuch Li bowed his head and stood respectfully, not daring to make any mistakes.

The middle-aged man is none other than the current Holy One, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor Yingzheng!
After sweeping the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng, who became the first emperor of China through the ages, has now entered middle age, which is the time when life is full of vigor, so his temper is much stronger than when he was the King of Qin.

Therefore, the people who served her became more cautious than before, for fear of offending His Majesty in front of her.

After reading the report, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and his sharp eyes focused on Eunuch Li who was beside him.

"You said that after you took Ying Jing to his fiefdom and told him the truth, you didn't have any dissatisfaction or private complaints?"

"Exactly!" Eunuch Li quickly replied, "Young Master Jing didn't show any dissatisfaction, and he didn't dare to complain. It's just that this old slave can see that Young Master is still somewhat disappointed."

"Hmph!" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "As my son, if you want to be the lord of the country, you must be prepared to suffer."

"Compared to the suffering he has suffered, what is there to complain about now that the Northwest Territory has suffered successive droughts over the years, and the people have been displaced. He can still live in luxury and good food?"

"Everyone in the Northwest is living in unspeakable misery. He doesn't want to share my worries for me. Could it be that he is pointing at me to help him?"

Eunuch Li was embarrassed when he heard the words, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, but Yingzheng suddenly changed the subject.

"However, this kid surprised me a little. He didn't stay in Minxian County for long, but went back to the fiefdom. It seems that he still has the demeanor of my Daqin royal family!"

"I'm really looking forward to his next performance!" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Li, "You said before that on your way to Min County, many refugees from Daqin went to join him. Do you have any ideas?" Have you checked the origins and identities of those refugees?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this old slave has found out at that time that those refugees have been tested, and they are definitely victims of disasters in the Northwest."

"On the way back to Xianyang, the old slave also arranged for someone to investigate and confirm the identities of those refugees, but the old slave couldn't find out how those refugees knew about Gong Zijing."

'Check' is the ID card of a person from the state of Qin, and it would be impossible to go far without checking, so when Ying Zheng heard this, most of the doubts in his eyes disappeared.

"In any case, he is also my son. Being able to have such a skill proves that he is still prepared."

"It's good that way. It just so happens that the place is not peaceful. With these people around, I can see his ability, and secondly, I can see what he wants to do next step by step."

"But keep an eye on me. If Ying Jing does something ridiculous and you fail to tell me in time, I'm asking for you!"

"Observe the order!" Eunuch Li hurriedly agreed, but his expression did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"In addition..." Ying Zheng said this, and suddenly asked casually: "I make Ziying the crown prince, who in the court has any objections?"

Eunuch Li thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave's investigations, there is nothing abnormal except that the Taiwei has some opinions on your appointment of the emperor's grandson."

"Taiwei? Wei Liao?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, "What is he dissatisfied with? Who should I appoint as the crown prince, do I need his consent?"

"Hmph, I really think that I am so powerful that I can dictate everything about me. It seems that our Taiwei has begun to lose track of who he is!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Eunuch Li just bowed his head and remained silent, not daring to say a single extra word.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the evil spirit on his body became more and more intense, and he suddenly changed the subject, "Did you find Mr. Lu?"

Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lu Sheng is very cunning, and this old slave has already found out many people. I believe there will be news soon."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "Then catch him as soon as possible, I'm getting impatient for waiting!"

Eunuch Li's heart beat like a drum, and since Ying Zheng had already said that he was getting impatient, he was already impatient.

So Eunuch Li bowed to promise, then resigned, and left Zhangtai Palace in a hurry.

Seven days later, on Ying Jing's fief.

When Ying Jing arrived at the fiefdom with several thousand female followers, his followers had grown to nearly 2.

Among them, there are 650 men and 1 women.

Facing nearly [-] mouths, Ying Jing was really under a lot of pressure. His family fortune was about to bottom out.

The next urgent task is to let these people build their homes as soon as possible, raise food and grass, and open up wasteland for farming before their own family bottoms out.

Otherwise, Ying Jingbao might become the first prince in Daqin to be bankrupted by his followers if he continued to sit around like this!

Therefore, the first thing Ying Jing did when he arrived in the fief was to start a division of labor.

He divided nearly 2 people under his command into three groups, one group built grass sheds that could accommodate everyone, one group opened up wasteland, and the other group farmed.

Right now, Ying Jing only has one kilogram of potato seeds, but there is not much land to plant, but there are too many people eating.

Therefore, Ying Jing not only needs to plant the potato seeds in his hand quickly, but also needs to exchange some more potato seeds for planting.

But the problem is, after all the potato seeds were planted, Ying Jing discovered a more serious problem.

Potatoes have to wait at least two months to mature, but the question is what number of followers will they reach in these two months?
Don't mention two months now, even this group of people can't afford to support themselves for at most half a month.

What to do until then?Then send the male followers away to serve as soldiers?
Ying Jing quickly denied this approach. After all, it's okay to talk about it once or twice, and things will definitely happen if there are too many times.

And even if the man can be sent away, what about the other female followers?That’s more than 1 people!

This is Ying Jing's biggest problem right now.

And just when Ying Jing couldn't think of a solution, an uninvited guest came to his fief.

"Meng Tian? What is he doing here?"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Ying Jing was stunned because he didn't know Meng Tian at all.

It is true that Meng Tian is the Great Qin God of War, the boss of Longxi County, and holds a heavy army here, but in fact Ying Jing has never had any contact with him.

Isn't Meng Tian worried about being found out and looking for him, so as to get a piece of his mind in front of Ying Zheng?

After all, Ying Zheng is a very suspicious person. Once he thinks that Meng Tian wants to form a party with him for personal gain, he will be in trouble!
