Chapter 127 Promotion of corn, Qin Wangzheng's approval

Seeing Xun Yu eating corn in this way made Qin Wangzheng laugh. This way of eating reminded him of the time when he was in Zhao State.

At that time, he was bullied by the noble children of the Zhao Kingdom around him. Apart from showing his aristocratic temperament outside, why did he care so much when he returned to the place where he lived?

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng also put down his fork. He was about to pick up the corn in front of him with his hands, but the eunuch ordered: "Your Majesty..."

"No problem!" Qin Wangzheng picked up the corn and began to eat it. It was the first time he ate food like this, and it had a special flavor.

Wang Jian saw that Qin Wangzheng started to use his hands, so he also picked up the corn cobs himself. Although he was not slow to eat, he also felt that it was a waste of time as a soldier, so it was more comfortable to eat like this.

Not to mention, after eating the corn, the sweet and delicious taste of the corn instantly hit Qin Wangzheng's taste buds. This corn is indeed much tastier than corn.

"Would you like to give it a try, Prime Minister? It's indeed faster to eat with your hands, and corn does taste better than corn." Qin Wangzheng felt that he seemed much younger, so he raised his hand and asked Wang Wan and Feng Quji to The two prime ministers try.

"My teeth are weak, I guess I can't eat like this anymore," Wang Wan waved his hand repeatedly, his teeth couldn't bear such gnawing.

Besides, Wang Wan is a typical aristocrat, and this kind of food eaten with his hands obviously does not conform to his etiquette: "Since the king said that corn tastes good, it is naturally good, but it is a pity that the old minister has bad teeth and is not blessed to enjoy it. "

After Wang Wan finished speaking, Xun Yu saluted Wang Wan first: "Prime Minister You, Wen Ruo is polite."

Wang Wan looked at Xunzi and nodded in return. Xun Yu is the most outstanding Confucianist among the younger generation. When Li Si brought him to the side of his son Fusu, Wang Wan also contributed.

It's just that the two have different ideas. Li Si hopes to place a relative or friend next to his son Fusu, but Li Si doesn't have such a person in his hands. Since Xun Yu is his nephew and a young talent, that is Li Si's best choice. .

However, Wang Wan wanted to put a Confucian student next to his young master Fusu. Although Confucianism advocated that there should be no discrimination in teaching, most of its thoughts conformed to the etiquette of nobles.

From the perspective of an old aristocrat like Wang Wan, there is a Confucian disciple whom Prince Fusu trusts by his side. After Prince Fusu ascends the throne, there will be people who will uphold the nobility and etiquette.

"Prime Minister You can ask the chef at home to peel off all the corn kernels and boil them in water. Although it is not as delicious as cooking on the cob, it is also more convenient for Prime Minister You to eat."

"I see," Wang Wan looked at the corn kernels picked out from the plate, and it was indeed much easier to eat them off the cob.

The left prime minister, Feng Quji, also picked up the corn and ate it. Even though the Feng family was an aristocratic clan, both Feng Quji and his brother Feng Wuze had served in the army, so he acted unambiguously.

However, when Li Si used his hands in Qin Wangzheng, he followed suit. For him, the leader of Legalism who was born as a sage disciple of Confucianism, the king's actions were the benchmark for everything.

Seeing that Qin Wangzheng and several ministers ate corn, Xun Yu asked his attendants to take out two more pottery.The things inside, Xun Yu knew that this is what nobles and ministers like.

"Your Majesty, this is syrup made from corn, and sweet cheese made from corn syrup and cheese." This batch of corn syrup and sweet cheese was quickly sent to Xun Yu after they were developed.

Subsequent ones will also be sent to Xianyang Palace one after another to show the filial piety of the young master Fusu, while the corn syrup and cheese were taken over by the eunuch and placed in front of the King of Qin.

After opening the clay pot, the sweet and greasy smell of corn syrup and sweet cheese irritated Qin Wangzheng's nasal cavity.

The eunuch ordered him to naturally pour some of it on the utensils he carried with him, and first helped his king to see if there was any problem.Although it is impossible for Young Master Fusu to poison, it is inevitable that someone has evil intentions.

The sweetness of corn syrup made the eunuchs who had tasted delicacies from mountains and seas for Qin Wangzheng a little happy. This sweetness was sweeter than caramel in this era, and the syrup was liquid and smoother.

"Your Majesty, this corn syrup tastes sweet and can be eaten," Eunuch Ling said and poured the corn syrup into Qin Wangzheng's bowl, and then began to test the poison on the sweet cheese.

After confirming that there was no problem with the sweet cheese, Eunuch Ling took a piece out of the clay pot and placed it on Qin Wangzheng's plate.

Qin Wangzheng ate both corn syrup and sweet cheese, and they were indeed much more delicious than caramel. This item can replace the caramel used by the queen as a reward for ministers.

But Qin Wangzheng is not a good eater. He distributed the cheese and syrup in the clay pot to the four ministers below, and then looked up at Xun Yu: "In addition to corn, how many horses are there in Jiuyuan County now?" ? Can you equip [-] Qin troops to expand northward?"

That's right, food has never been the pursuit of Qin Wangzheng, his pursuit is unlimited territory, and his achievements surpass the three emperors and five emperors.

Why did Fusu need to immigrate and ask for food and grass in Jiuyuan County? He was able to adjust some points to go there. Isn't it just for the horse herding in Jiuyuan County.

With horse herding, the Mobei Huns, Donghu, and Western Regions should all be the territory of Great Qin, not to mention that the Mobei Huns have no other land further north?
Could it be that the west of the Western Regions is as vast as the east?
Qin Wangzheng wanted to know how vast and boundless the world was, waiting for him to conquer, waiting for him to become the only emperor in the ages.

"Back to the king, there are more than 60 Xiongnu tribes in Jiuyuan County, large and small, with more than 23 Xiongnu herdsmen. If the cavalry is recruited, [-] Xiongnu cavalry can be obtained, and the excess herds horses can equip [-] Qin troops."

As the governor of the county, Xun Yu has investigated the population of Jiuyuan County. Even some tribal leaders in Henan can't even count, so Xun Yu went to count the herdsmen and horses himself.

"Eighty thousand Hun cavalry?" Qin Wangzheng frowned, and asked the eunuch to give him a map of the north: "Are these [-] Hun cavalry trustworthy?"

"After the [-] Xiongnu cavalry were defeated by the young master, they admired the power of Qin. If the king has an order, the whole army will follow and be used by the king."

It's not that Xun Yu wants to flatter, but mainly because the young master Fusu's performance in Jiuyuan County is too amazing. Now almost all the herdsmen in the original Henan area think that young master Fusu is the descendant of a god, and some even say that he is the reincarnation of a certain god statement.

And as the father of son Fusu, Qin Wangzheng was unknowingly regarded as the queen of the gods in Jiuyuan County, or the god himself. Now even some tribal leaders expressed their desire to come to worship Qin Wangzheng through son Fusu.

If Qin Wangzheng really ordered them to go to Mobei to find other Hun tribes to fight for their lives, or to attack the Donghu in the east and the Western Regions in the west, the Xiongnu cavalry in Jiuyuan County must be bound.

"Cai, Cai!" Qin Wangzheng looked at Mobei in the north of Jiuyuan County and Donghu in the east. He wanted to expand outward, but he also knew that the road had to be walked step by step.
