Chapter 355: Assassination

Bang!

"Another one with a death wish. Capture him and bring him back for a good interrogation."

Outside a manor on the outskirts of Xianyang City, a group of elite soldiers in armor seemed to have just experienced a great battle; bloodstains were scattered outside the manor.

These soldiers seemed to have become accustomed to it.

"These people are all fools, daring to attack the General. The General promotes agricultural technology and increases grain, which can allow more people to survive. He is simply a saint of the Agricultural School reborn."

"Have their consciences been eaten by dogs?"

"Hmph! These are all rebellious elements of the Empire. Of course, they don't want to see the Empire become better."

The leader was a commander of five hundred, wearing pitch-black profound iron armor, his whole body exuding a sharp aura.

"Alright, don't say any more. Hurry up and patrol. Don't let anyone disturb the General. The General and the Ministry of Agriculture have been working together these days to deduce a new fertilizer. It is said that this fertilizer can increase the grain in the fields by several more tenths."

"So now is a critical moment. No one can drop the chain. Within a ten-mile radius of the manor, no one is allowed to spy."

"Yes, Commander!"

Upon hearing this, the group of soldiers was instantly energized. Looking at the depths of the manor, their eyes also revealed deep admiration and respect.

Grain could still increase. These soldiers, having joined the army, almost everyone had a title, although most were of low rank.

But at home, they also had fertile fields ranging from several hundred mu. If the grain in the fields could still increase, they could harvest several dozen to a hundred more shi of grain at home in a year.

This was extremely important for many families. Perhaps their families could support more people.

Their families could also live a little better. Based on this point alone, every soldier guarding the manor decided in their hearts that no matter what external enemy they encountered, they would not let the enemy get within a step of the manor.

This was also the only thing they could do for the General.

The manor was very large, occupying a full eight thousand mu. It could be said to be a small fort, and this manor was built in just over half a month.

Inside, besides the necessary buildings, half of it was experimental fields. Of course, there was also a third of the area that was an artisan crafting area.

This manor was an experimental zone built by Su Fan.

There were too many secrets inside, so Ying Zheng allocated another fifty thousand troops to the original thirty thousand.

Outside this manor, there was a full eighty thousand-strong army.

The reason for such importance was that Su Fan had brought out all the agricultural implements from thousands of years in the future. Although there were no machines from the future, these agricultural tools still had a very great effect on agriculture.

Not to mention anything else, that curved plow could not only increase yield per mu but also improve the efficiency of plowing fields.

The physical fitness of the people in this world was still very powerful; a single person could push a curved plow.

Some strong men were even more like oxen than those old yellow oxen.

Just these alone were enough for Ying Zheng and the high-level officials of Great Qin to value, not to mention the experiments with various fertilizers.

With a wave of Ying Zheng's hand, the power of Su Fan's Ministry of Agriculture was now comparable to the Nine Ministers, and even sometimes required the Nine Ministers to cooperate.

"It's restless outside again."

Su Fan looked at Wang Zhan and asked calmly.

"A group of petty people, not worth mentioning at all," Wang Zhan said indifferently. With eighty thousand troops under his command and the evolution of military aura, let alone the Transformation of Essence, even if a master of Profound Mastery came, they would have to kneel.

So at this moment, he was fearless, although the number of people sneaking into the manor had been increasing during this period.

But none of them could touch the inside of the manor; they were all captured and beheaded outside the walls of the manor fort.

Most of them were assassins. In the underground of Great Qin, Su Fan's head was very valuable, and countless assassins swarmed into Xianyang City.

"I say, do you really want to patrol the agricultural situation of the world?"

"Can't you send someone else?"

Wang Zhan then looked at Su Fan with a serious face.

"You should be clear that because of this Xianyang City, it has blocked many experts for you. Those top experts in the underground are wary of Xianyang City, so they dare not come."

"But once you leave Hangu Pass, you will face even more powerful assassinations."

Wang Zhan's words did not cause any change in Su Fan. He was certainly aware that he was very safe in Xianyang City.

Although many people wanted him dead, it was very difficult because no one could cause trouble in Xianyang City.

As the capital of Great Qin, how powerful was the security of Xianyang City? Let alone the Profound Mastery realm, even those at the Five Qi Morning Origin and Three Flowers realm would have no return if they came to Xianyang City.

"Haha! Of course I know it's dangerous outside, but don't I still have you?"

Su Fan laughed and continued, "I can't stay in Xianyang City forever. There are indeed many forces that want me dead, but with you here, it's still very difficult to assassinate me."

"What's more, besides you, His Majesty has also sent another group of people to protect me in secret. With double insurance, I believe it won't be that dangerous."

"Because of the Empire's control, the promotion of new technology in the Guanzhong region has been very fast. In these six months, it has been almost fully promoted."

"But in other places, especially the further away from the center of the Empire, the harder it is to promote. Although the Ministry of Agriculture can go to various places, their numbers are too few after all, and they still need help from the local areas."

"But you have also seen the news sent back by the Ministry of Agriculture. In many places, they simply ignore them."

Great Qin unified the world, but its power had not yet fully reached the local areas. In the territory of the old Qin people, the power of the Great Qin government was enough to reach the villages.

There were village heads in the villages, who also belonged to the level of clerks.

But in the original six states, these townships needed to rely on the original people of prestige in the local area to serve as officials.

These people were not common people at the bottom; most of them were county magnates. When Great Qin unified the world, because of the policies of the Great Qin government, many times, they would touch their interests.

Therefore, many of these people did not recognize Great Qin and only chose to obey because of Great Qin's powerful strength.

But most of the time, they would follow in public and oppose in private.

Su Fan was certainly aware of this, so he needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. As the policy promoted by his Ministry of Agriculture, if he wanted to carry forward the Ministry of Agriculture, he must stand out.

And if he promoted it himself, the luck he would obtain would be even greater.

It was precisely because of this that he was prepared to go down to the field himself.

As for the danger, Su Fan was certainly aware. Now he knew that those who wanted him dead were not just the Mohist School and some rebellious elements of the Empire.

I am afraid there was also a force that definitely wanted him dead, and that was the Divine Court.

Since he promoted the new agricultural technology, he had observed that Great Qin's luck had also begun to increase.

Increasing national power was naturally not a good thing for the Divine Court. ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
