Chapter 366

But he still answered honestly: "Crown Prince, one cart can pull about five hundred jin."

"Only five hundred jin per cart?"

"That's a bit too little; how about this, go and mobilize some more horse carts."

"With just these dozen or so ox carts, it will take a very long time to pull all the rice seeds away."

Ying Ying Zi Ye had also forgotten to tell Brother Zheng how many seeds there were.

Seeing that only these ox carts had come, it was far from enough.

He had to know that his auspicious seeds this time amounted to as much as one hundred thousand jin!

Qin Shi Huang had originally thought that the auspicious seeds shouldn't be that many.

So he let Li Xin just get some carts.

"Not enough carts?"

"Are there many auspicious seeds?"

"How many carts will it take to pull them all away?"

Li Xin was somewhat dumbfounded; could it be that there were many auspicious seeds?

"Based on your calculation that one cart can pull five hundred jin."

"To pull them all away at once, it will take two hundred carts."

"How... how many?"

"Two hundred carts?!"

Li Xin was stunned.

He calculated for a good while before coming up with a number.

One hundred thousand jin!

It would take two hundred carts to pull them away at once; there were one hundred thousand jin of auspicious seeds!

"Crown Prince, how... how could there be so many?"

Li Xin's speech was somewhat stuttering; this quantity was too astonishing.

And how did the Crown Prince get so many seeds here?

It required two hundred carts to transport.

How did the Crown Prince transport these auspicious seeds here?

If so many carts had appeared in Xianyang City.

It would definitely have been discovered by someone long ago.

But no one knew that this small residence would have one hundred thousand jin of auspicious seeds.

This made him unable to understand what was going on.

When Li Xin first brought people here, he was somewhat worried.

Because no one lived in this residence; it should have been used as a treasury.

When he learned that there were auspicious seeds inside, but there was no one guarding the outside of the residence.

This made him extremely worried; what if the auspicious seeds were stolen?

But this was the Crown Prince's private residence, and he didn't dare to take people inside.

He could only wait here.

Previously, he was still blaming the Crown Prince for being careless in his heart.

But now that he learned there were one hundred thousand jin of auspicious seeds inside, his heart was trembling.

These were treasures!

And there were one hundred thousand jin!

But there wasn't a single guard around!

He couldn't even complain.

How big must one's heart be to do this?

"Someone, quickly go and mobilize ox carts and horse carts; adding these ox carts, we need a total of two hundred!"

Li Xin shouted to the soldiers below.

The soldiers bowed and went to handle it quickly.

"You all wait here for a moment; I will go inside and take a look."

Ying Ying Zi Ye said, ignoring Li Xin.

He walked toward the residence.

It was empty inside.

If he didn't go in to release the rice seeds.

When Li Xin and the others came in later, there would be nothing.

Ying Ying Zi Ye arrived at the empty main hall; this location should be able to hold one hundred thousand jin of rice seeds.

With a thought, the main hall, which had been empty,

Suddenly and out of thin air, appeared neatly arranged burlap bags.

Ying Ying Zi Ye calculated slightly; there were a full one thousand burlap bags.

That meant each bag was one hundred jin, exactly one hundred thousand jin.

Ying Ying Zi Ye shouted toward the door, and Li Xin, hearing the sound, walked in.

Seeing the neatly arranged auspicious seeds.

Li Xin was completely excited.

"Someone! Move them all away!"

"Be very careful, don't damage them."

Li Xin instructed people to carefully move the burlap bags out.

Several hundred people moved them for several hours before the place was emptied.

The next morning.

Xianyang City.

People were coming and going in the market.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers."

"Big good news, big good news!"

"The spring for the world's corvée laborers and convicts is coming!"

Several eight or nine-year-old children were running through the bustling crowd.

Shouting loudly with big voices.

Holding a stack of newspapers in their hands.

People around bought one from time to time.

The newspapers in the children's hands also decreased rapidly.

These were the newspaper-selling boys of the Great Qin Daily.

Newspaper-selling boys, as long as they sold all the newspapers, they would get a commission.

And the commission was generous, and the work wasn't considered very hard.

Some children from difficult families became newspaper-selling boys.

This could also be considered the Great Qin Daily's disguised support for these extremely poor families.

But there were also rules; they couldn't work for too long in a day.

Because the children were too young, they couldn't work all day long.

The Great Qin Daily, after being free for the first few days, started a fee-based model.

And the number of consumers increased instead of decreasing, just because a lot of the content in the Great Qin Daily was released by the Great Qin imperial court.

It was even much more detailed than the information on the bulletin boards.

And these newspapers were also very cheap, almost to the point where everyone could afford them.

People who bought the newspaper, when they saw the latest news on the newspaper.

Were dumbfounded.

This was explosive news!

Enough to shake people's hearts! ===== CHAPTER 368 =====
