Chapter 95: Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish

As for planting, farmers could be found to farm.

They needed to learn this new method to teach those farmers.

But after some discussion among Meng Yi and the others, these seeds were too scarce.

They decided to farm themselves; farmers were not as disciplined as soldiers.

If they accidentally destroyed these seeds, they would not forgive themselves.

The soldiers in the Lantian Camp started a crazy wave of learning.

They would never have thought that one day they would be reduced to farming in the military camp.

And they not only did not feel ashamed, but were even exceptionally excited and wanted to do it.

The soldiers in the Lantian Camp were proud to be able to farm!

After all, they were the first batch of people to come into contact with and farm these precious seeds.

Li Xin and the others were busy until the Yin hour before stopping.

Spending a few hours, they finally figured out the techniques of plowing and planting.

They did not even go home; after finishing, they fell asleep in the Lantian Camp.

The next day, Zhangtai Palace.

"Proclaim the hundred officials to enter the palace!"

The sharp voice of the eunuch resounded through the morning court hall.

The civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the hall entered the hall in an orderly manner.

They stood in two rows and waited quietly for the arrival of the Regent Ninth Prince.

"Have you heard? Many soldiers entered and exited Xianyang City last night; I wonder what happened?"

Seeing that the Regent Ninth Prince had not yet arrived, the ministers began to whisper.

Every day at this time, the officials would exchange some information; this had long since become a habit.

"You heard it too? Last night I heard from my house slave that thousands of soldiers entered Xianyang City!"

"Thousands? Did you see wrong? Could it be that they entered the city to arrest fugitives?"

"I don't know; it's not a chaotic war now, and there is no curfew at night. It's cold outside late at night; who would go out to watch a show late at night?"

"That house slave of yours must have fooled you; this old man saw it last night, it should have been a few hundred soldiers entering the city."

"Oh, I wonder why the soldiers entered the city? Without a special reason, they are not allowed to enter the city!"

"I don't know; I only saw them escorting a few carriages out of the city."

The officials were all discussing the matter of Xianyang City last night.

And some civil officials saw Li Xin, Wang Ben, and the others with panda eyes.

It was estimated that the matter was related to them, so they inquired.

But Wang Ben and the others did not speak and were all closing their eyes to rest.

Seeing there was no play, the few civil officials dismissed the idea of continuing to inquire.

However, they were all very curious; the performance of these few generals should be related to the matter last night.

It was just that they asked a few times and could not ask it out.

"The Regent Ninth Prince has arrived!"

As the eunuch's voice sounded, the officials all quieted down.

A graceful youth walking with the wind walked in.

This person was none other than the Ninth Prince, Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Ying Ying Zi Ye came to the side of the dragon throne and sat down on the chair he had prepared long ago.

The officials looked at the chair with some strangeness; this was a piece of furniture they had never seen before.

But soon, they reacted and bowed one after another.

"Greetings to the Regent Ninth Prince!"

"Hmm, ministers, do you have anything to advise?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye scanned the officials, stayed on Li Xin and the others for a moment, and then moved away.

Looking at their appearance, one did not need to think to know that they were overexcited last night and did not sleep well.

Fu Su stepped out, bowed, and said: "Regent, the six million coins last night have all been deposited into the treasury."

"Not a single ounce is missing; this is something I have personally checked."

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded; Chunyu Yue and Feng Quji would not dare to be sloppy about this matter.

However, letting their two families pay three million coins at once would also make them feel the pain for a good while.

"Alright, then let this matter pass; I hope I can bet with the great Confucian and the Prime Minister again next time!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the crowd with a smiling face.

And Feng Quji and Chunyu Yue's faces immediately became ugly.

Next time?

How could there be a next time.

Even if they were beaten to death, they would not want a next time.

Being pitted once was almost bankruptcy.

If there was another time, wouldn't they be reduced to the streets?

"Regent, it was this subordinate who was confused; being fooled by a villain, I had a hot head. Please do not blame me, Regent."

Feng Quji bowed and put his posture very low.

And Chunyu Yue at the side was not happy.

"The Prime Minister's words are somewhat excessive; one should accept a bet gracefully. How can one's heart be so narrow?"

Chunyu Yue was unconvinced and sprayed back.

But Feng Quji did not answer and snorted coldly.

"Since everyone has nothing to advise, then I will say a few things."

Ying Ying Zi Ye interrupted the great Confucian; if this continued, the two would have to quarrel in the court.

"Zheng Min."

"Zheng Min, Governor of Sishui Commandery, greets the Regent!"

Zheng Min hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and bowed.

This made him somewhat terrified; after all, he had never been named in the court before.

"Exempt from courtesy."

"Governor Zheng, for your merit in reporting the disaster, you are rewarded with one hundred gold!"

"Prioritize providing Sishui Commandery with fifty catties each of sweet potato and potato seeds." ===== CHAPTER 97 =====
