Chapter 297

Ying Su had already said all this before going to the Xiongnu!

It was just that Zhuge Liang and the others didn't expect Ying Zheng to agree so readily!

Since he had come forward, even if the officials didn't want to go, they certainly wouldn't dare to say anything!

Still the same saying, in the entire Qin State, in the entire imperial court, except for Ying Su and his subordinates, no one dared to challenge Ying Zheng!

“Does he know the purpose of Zheng He's voyage?”

“And does he know what he brought back?”

Zuo Zuo Zongtang looked at Li Si; he always felt Ying Zheng's performance was a bit abnormal!

Li Si waved his hand and said: “Absolutely impossible; His Majesty only told me about this, and I haven't told anyone about it!”

“But... His Majesty doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding this matter either!”

“Before he left, he gave instructions that except for weapons, there was no need to hide anything from the First Emperor, nor was there any need to guard against him!”

“That's true!”

Zuo Zuo Zongtang and Zhuge Liang nodded!

Then, everyone went to prepare!

That afternoon, everyone was ready!

Ying Zheng and all the officials headed towards the Weihe ferry!

There were even troops accompanying them!

But the speed of a large group of people really couldn't compare to a small one!

At that time, Ying Su took a carriage, bringing Han Xin, Li Si, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and a large group of people to the ferry, and it only took half a day!

But... Ying Zheng and the others actually walked for a day and a half before arriving at the Weihe ferry!

But fortunately, Zheng He's fleet had not arrived yet!

Ying Zheng sent people to investigate, and not long after, the investigators returned!

Reporting that they were still more than twenty miles away!

Almost there!

Ying Zheng was anxious and waited patiently.

Half an hour later, finally, they saw Zheng He's fleet from afar!

“Start the music!”

Li Si shouted, and instantly, the sound of drums and the sound of zithers all rang out!

Ying Zheng stood at the very front, welcoming Zheng He!

But when Zheng He got off the ship, he was stunned; on the scene, except for Li Si, he didn't see any person related to Ying Su!

“Where is the Emperor?”

Zheng He just bowed to Ying Zheng, then bowed directly to Li Si and asked!

“You...”

This scene made Ying Zheng furious!

But... thinking that he was Ying Su's person, and was cultivated by Ying Su, he wasn't so angry anymore!

Without waiting for Li Si to answer, he grabbed Zheng He's hand and said kindly: “The rebellious son has gone to the Xiongnu; I personally arranged all this to welcome you!”

While speaking, he pulled Zheng He's hand and walked towards the dozen large ships in front, asking: “What did you bring back from this voyage?”

He asked while speaking!

Zheng He frowned and didn't speak!

Seeing Li Si nod to him, he said: “I brought back many things, all things that the land of Huaxia did not have, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and wheat!”

“Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn? Wheat?”

When Ying Zheng heard this, his face turned ugly on the spot!

Returning from the sea, he only brought back these?

He had indeed never heard of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and so on!

But wheat...

Didn't Great Qin already have wheat?

Ying Zheng's face was very ugly, but he didn't lose heart!

After all, with so many people present, Zheng He couldn't possibly tell him openly that he had the elixir of immortality!

So... he pulled Zheng He and continued walking towards the ship.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he asked Zheng He: “Is there an elixir of immortality?”

“Elixir of immortality?”

Hearing this, Zheng He was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

“What are you laughing at!”

Ying Zheng was very angry!

Zheng He laughed:

“There is no elixir of immortality!”

“Moreover, the Emperor asked me to go to sea, but he never mentioned any elixir of immortality!”

“If you came for this, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!”

“Now, please go back!”

“It's just this short distance, I can go back myself!”

He said!

And when these words were spoken, Ying Zheng was gnashing his teeth in anger!

But he still patiently asked: “Besides the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and wheat you mentioned, is there nothing else?”

He was angry and really couldn't believe that Ying Su sent Zheng He to sea just to find these.

Zheng He sighed: “You really don't know the use of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn!”

He sighed and finally looked at Li Si again!

Finding Li Si nodding to him, he simply didn't hide it anymore and said directly to Ying Zheng:

“This voyage, everything I brought back is a divine object!”

“Sweet potatoes, yield at least 3,000 catties per mu, which is equivalent to 36 shi!”

“Potatoes, yield at least 1,000 catties per mu, which is equivalent to 12 shi!”

“Corn, yield at least 800 catties per mu, which is equivalent to about 10 shi!”

“Wheat...”

“Great Qin does have wheat!”

“But how much can Great Qin's wheat yield per mu? At most 200 catties, only one and a half shi!”

“But the wheat I brought back can yield at least 400 catties per mu, three shi!”

“What?”

Once these words were spoken, Ying Zheng's head was buzzing!

At that moment, he looked at Zheng He in front of him with disbelief, swallowing his saliva continuously!

“Yield... yield 36 shi of sweet potatoes?”

“And... and 12 shi of potatoes?”

“And... 10 shi of corn?”

“And... three... three shi of wheat?”

He swallowed hard, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his head buzzing!

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall how much Ying Su valued Zheng He's voyage!

Just... just these things, how could he not value them?

This is truly strengthening the country and enriching the people!

He was shocked beyond measure!

But the next second he shook his head: “What's the use of high yield? Can it be eaten?”

He said!

His words and expression were full of disdain!

He didn't believe that such high-yielding things could be found by Zheng He, and even more so, that Ying Su, that rebellious son, had succeeded!
