Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

Li Si nodded slightly, "Although it is so, but..."

He just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Yinglan, "This is your first wish! So I have to obey! If you force you to do something you don't want to do, it will be against the royal demeanor!"

"Even if Father knows about this, he will definitely not be happy, so I can't do this kind of thing!"

Ying Lan spoke clearly.

However, it made him very uncomfortable when these words fell into Li Si's ears.

Li Si's face was slightly ugly, "Actually, it's not very forced..."

He regretted it to death now, why did he just say that he didn't want to.

But now that Li Si knew the benefits of sweet potatoes, he wouldn't let them go easily.

Even if he is the prime minister, if he can participate in the planting and have a share of credit, that is a great achievement.

If it is done well, there will even be an existence that can be famous for thousands of years.

Naturally, Li Si couldn't just watch this opportunity slip away.

"What happened just now is the problem of this minister, I hope you will forgive me once." Then Li Si cupped his hands with a very sincere expression on his face.

"Hey! Since Prime Minister Li has apologized so much, it would be wrong for me to care about it..."

Seeing this, Ying Lan let go a little.

Hearing this, Li Si's expression brightened, "Young Master, you are very generous!"

"But it would be too insincere to just apologize like this..." Then Ying Lan muttered again, implying something.

Li Si is also a sensible person, and immediately heard the meaning, "Of course, if you bring something else, the young master will be happy."

Ying Lan coughed dryly, and then said, "Actually, I don't have anything I particularly like. If I can have 8 or [-] taels of gold or something, I should feel much better."

"Seven to eighty thousand taels?!" Li Si's pupils shrank.

This is not a small amount for him.

"Don't force it! Don't force it!" Seeing Li Si's embarrassed face, Ying Lan hurriedly advised.

"Young master, what did you say, this matter is settled! It is my honor to make you happy!" Li Si gritted his teeth and agreed to this matter.

Chapter 44 The Best Time to Send Troops

Chaotang.

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair.

Below, all the officials stood quietly, and all the officials were very quiet, just waiting for Ying Zheng's orders.

Counting that the time was up, Ying Zheng turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the eunuch beside him, "Li Si hasn't come yet?"

Hearing that, the eunuch's face was also slightly ugly, "Return to Your Majesty, I don't know why..."

Ying Zheng didn't pay much attention to it, he just waved his hand casually, "That's all, let's get started."

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Morning begins!"

After the words fell, Ying Zheng's eyes also fell down, "Who played?"

After the words fell, Wang Jian stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister has a performance."

"Speak." Ying Zheng replied calmly.

Wang Jian frowned, and his expression became serious, "The old minister asked for the matter of attacking the Huns, please allow your majesty!"

Wang Jian has always attached great importance to this matter.

From above, Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he heard that, "It is inevitable to send troops to attack, but now is not the best time."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jian's face became puzzled, "The old minister could understand why he couldn't send troops because of the heavy snow, but now that the snow has melted, there is nothing that can stop the cavalry."

"The veteran believes that now is the best time to send troops. If His Majesty allows, the veteran is willing to personally lead troops to crush them, so as to promote the prestige of our Great Qin State!"

Ying Zheng can understand Wang Jian's persistent appearance.

Such veterans are already patriotic, and naturally they cannot bear other countries' violations of Great Qin.

So Ying Zheng was not dissatisfied, but said flatly: "The widow has already said that now is not the best time."

However, upon hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes could not help but turn cold, "Could it be that your majesty is afraid of those thieves from the Xiongnu?"

Hearing this, Yingzheng's eyes turned cold, "I have fought countless battles in my life, and I have never met any kind of enemy. Why do you think I am afraid of you?"

Although aware of Ying Zheng's anger, Wang Jian's eyes were not afraid at all, and he directly faced Ying Zheng, "Since you are not afraid, why is your majesty unwilling to send troops?"

"This..." For a while, Ying Zheng was a little hard to answer.

It's not that the explanation is unclear, but that I don't know how to explain it.

In fact, this Wang Jian has never even seen a sweet potato before. To describe this thing to him now is tantamount to drawing a big cake, which is useless.

But at this moment, Li Si hurried into the hall, and immediately cupped his hands, "I am late, Your Majesty forgive me!"

Seeing Li Si, Ying Zheng looked happy, and then waved his hand, "There is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Li Si stood up straight.

Immediately, Ying Zheng looked a little excited and said, "What happened to what the widow told you?"

Li Si cupped his hands, and his face was also very happy, "It is an honor for me to help Gong Zilan complete this matter!"

"Okay!" Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this answer and couldn't help nodding.

Li Si's talent is extremely strong, especially in terms of promotion.

After all, as the prime minister, it can be said that he knows all aspects of Daqin very well, and he is very good at the people below, so he can get twice the result with half the effort.

So Ying Zheng was naturally happy that Li Si could take over the job of Sweet Potato.

Then, as if thinking of something, Yingzheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked again: "By the way, did Lan'er give you the sweet potato?"

Li Si nodded again and again, "Because I may have to explain to others later, so I went to ask for two this morning, and it was too late."

With that said, Li Si took out two sweet potatoes from his arms.

Seeing the sweet potato, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

Then he looked at Wang Jian, "The reason why the widow said that the time has not come is because of the things in Li Si's arms."

Wang Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help turning his head to look at the sweet potato, and he couldn't help but wondered, "What does sending troops have to do with this strange thing?"

Although he looked carefully, Wang Jian couldn't help but couldn't help what it was, after all, he had never seen it before.

But Li Si frowned upon hearing this, "This is not a strange thing, but a treasure!"

Wang Jian looked even more puzzled, "Treasure? Are you kidding me?"

Among other things, this sweet potato is full of dirt and looks dirty, even if it is thrown on the ground, no one may pick it up.

And this Li Sigui is the prime minister, and now he even protects this thing in his arms, even threatening that it is a treasure.

This naturally made Wang Jian unable to understand.

Li Si snorted coldly, "What do you know?!"

If it was before, his attitude must be the same as Wang Jian's, and he didn't pay much attention to this sweet potato.

But now Li Si knew very well how huge the benefits this sweet potato had brought to Daqin, so naturally he didn't dare to underestimate it lightly.

At the top, Ying Zheng also smiled slightly when he saw this, "Li Si, please explain to Wang Jian what this sweet potato means to Daqin."

"I obey!" Li Si replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Wang Jian also turned his head to look at the sweet potato in Li Si's arms, but there was a bit of amusement in his eyes, "I want to see what kind of treasure it is, that you and Your Majesty value it so much."

Li Si didn't say much. First, he gently placed one sweet potato on the ground, and then carefully lifted the other sweet potato with both hands.

Then his eyes fell on Wang Jian, "This thing is called sweet potato, and it can be eaten."

Wang Jian looked at the sweet potato indifferently, "If you can eat it, you can call it a baby? Then I still have a baby on me!"

Li Si was not in a hurry, but continued: "The cooking method is very simple. It can be roasted over a simple fire, or boiled in clear water to eat."

"And the taste is soft and glutinous, the fragrance is mellow, and it is easy to swallow. It is a rare food!"

Listening to this description, Wang Jian nodded slightly, but his face was still puzzled, "This can only be regarded as a convenience at best, but it is not enough to say that it is a treasure!"

"And no matter how you look at it, this little thing has nothing to do with not sending troops, right?"

Faced with Wang Jian's doubts, Li Si still didn't panic, but said calmly: "You are right, but the reason why you call it a treasure is because of the output of this thing."

Wang Jian's expression changed slightly, but he stared suspiciously at the sweet potato in Li Si's hand, "It doesn't look small, how much can it produce?"

Li Si smiled faintly, "The yield per mu is four thousand catties."

"A mere talent..." Wang Jian just wanted to complain, but suddenly he realized that his pupils shrank suddenly, "What?! Four thousand catties?!"

Not to mention Wang Jian, even the officials below were stunned, shocked by these words.

Everyone knows the amount of food production, so naturally they also know how exaggerated the production is.

"Are you kidding me?!" After being shocked for a moment, Wang Jian couldn't help but confirm again.

After all, this output is really hard to believe.

Li Si was a little speechless, "Can this kind of thing be used as a joke?"

From above, Ying Zheng's eyes also fell on Wang Jian, "Wang Jian, do you now understand why the widow said that it is not the best time to send troops?"

Chapter 45 You are talking about Sword Saint Gaine

Although the words have already reached this point, Wang Jian frowned, and his expression was still a little puzzled, "Although the old minister can think of one or two things, but it is too one-sided, please speak clearly!"

What Wang Jian said was the truth.

He must be better than Li Si in terms of leading troops to fight, so naturally he can easily know about military affairs.

However, when it comes to the role of this sweet potato, Wang Jian can think of less.

At most, if there are enough, it is much more convenient for the soldiers to take them on the road and eat enough.

But if you want to go further, Wang Jian didn't think so much.

On the other hand, Yingzheng smiled faintly when he heard the words, "Wang Jian, I ask you, if this sweet potato is promoted so that ordinary people can grow it, what should I do?"

Wang Jian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said quietly, "In this way, Daqin will get a lot of sweet potatoes."

The answer is simple and direct.

Ying Zheng nodded, "So what if we sell all those sweet potatoes?"

Wang Jian thought for a while before saying, "That will get you a lot of money."

"What if it's not only within the territory of Great Qin, but also with some small countries on the border?" Ying Zheng continued.

Wang Jian thought for a while, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"In this case, the amount of money you will get will be difficult to estimate!"

Wang Jian may not be very clear about other things, but if this thing is traded at the border, the selling price must be different from that in Daqin.

And listening to the output, you know that the amount that can be grown must be quite a lot, and the money that can be sold is naturally high.

Seeing this, the smile on Ying Zheng's face grew stronger, and he couldn't help nodding, "That's right! What if I invest the money in the military?"

Wang Jian's pupils narrowed slightly, "For the military?"

"What the widows are talking about is not just as simple as improving equipment, but recruiting troops, strengthening training, and improving military strength from many aspects!" Ying Zheng continued.

As if realizing something, the shock on Wang Jian's face became more intense.

He may not be clear about other things, but if it is invested in the military, then Wang Jian understands what the money means to Daqin's army.

After being shocked for a moment, Wang Jian said quietly, "If this is the case, our combat power will definitely be greatly improved!"

The army is raised with money, and Wang Jian is naturally clear about this truth.

"If you send troops now, what do you think, Wang Jian, based on the troops Daqin can mobilize?" Ying Zheng continued without rushing to a conclusion.

After the words fell, Wang Jian's eyes changed slightly, and he began to think carefully.

He is clear about the current strength of Daqin.
