Chapter 80: Carrying Farm Tools to the Court
Uncle Fu said: "Don't worry, young master, we will definitely get revenge. For some unknown reason, Ying Zheng, a tyrant, often leaves the palace.
Although we have brought a lot of troops, as long as we ambush well in advance, we will definitely be able to kill Ying Zheng. "
Zhang Liang was confused and asked, "Uncle Fu, can you find out why Ying Zheng often leaves the palace?"
“I don’t know the reason, but I know that every time Ying Zheng goes in the east direction, when he reaches a place, he gives up taking the car and walks on foot.
Sometimes we go back and forth on the same day, sometimes we come back once every few days, but I’m not sure exactly where we go. "Fubo said.
"Just know where he gets off. We can ambush him early."
"There was no way to ambush. There were a large number of soldiers guarding the place. I couldn't get in even if I tried several times," said Fubo.
Zhang Liang frowned slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. I have time to investigate it myself. Uncle Fu, go and do your work."
"promise."
It didn't take long for the food and wine to arrive. After Zhang Liang and the others had eaten and drank, they went to rest. They were tired after a long day's journey.
At Li Si's house.
When Li Si returned to his house, he asked people to find land and build four major workshops for pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Although the four treasures of the study were divided among Li Si and others, the four of them left the management of the workshop to Li Si.
The reason is very simple. Fusu and Gongzi Gao have no time and no time, let alone management, so they might as well let Li Si do it.
Meng Tian didn't have time either, he was about to go to the border.
Zhang Han, who is cooperating with Meng Tian, has no time. As the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, he is responsible for Ying Zheng's safety. Now he is staying in the village to protect Qin An.
So everything was handed over to Li Si, and Li Si readily agreed, because this could tie Fusu, Gongzi Gao, and Meng Tian and Zhang Han together.
Even if the First Emperor really dies in the future, since he has such a relationship with Fusu and the others, he should be able to keep his position. Even if he cannot keep it, the Li family will not decline.
Now Li Si hopes that his family will not be exterminated like in history.
After the arrangements were made, Li Si was thinking about how to promote farm tools, but Ying Zheng gave him the task.
But this didn't embarrass Li Si, and it didn't take long for him to think of a way.
The next day, Li Si came to the court with all the farm tools.
A group of ministers from the DPRK and China started discussing.
The great Qin nobles led by Feng Quji began to move closer to Feng Quji.
"Prime Minister Feng, what does Prime Minister Li do with all those junk things? There are also iron tools, are they iron tools?"
"This Prime Minister Li openly took out an iron weapon in the court. What does he want to do? Is he trying to assassinate His Majesty?"
"Assassinating His Majesty? Impossible, right? It would do him no good."
"But instead of assassinating His Majesty, what does Li Si want to do when he comes to the court with an iron weapon?"
…
Feng Quji had a headache when he listened to the nobles' words. He didn't expect that their words were getting more and more outrageous, and their voices were getting louder and louder.
This made Feng Quji furious: "Shut up, everyone."
The nobles all closed their mouths and looked at Feng Quji blankly.
Feng Quji continued to scold loudly: "Everyone, you are all nobles and meritorious ministers of the Qin Dynasty. How can you presume to speculate on the ministers of the DPRK, especially the head of the officials?"
Then he walked up to Li Si and said with a smile: "Li Xiang, I apologize to Li Xiang on behalf of other adults. However, I am also curious as to why Li Xiang came to court with these things. I should have known that some of them were sharp weapons." .”
Li Si actually heard the conversation of other adults just now, but he looked at this group of great Qin nobles like a group of clowns.
Now that Feng Quji has come forward to apologize, he can only accept it, otherwise it will not give Feng Quji face, and it will be tantamount to offending the entire Da Qin nobles, which is very detrimental to him.
Immediately, Li Si said with a smile: "Xiang Feng is serious. It's normal for your lords not to understand. Moreover, the things I picked up do contain iron tools. Your lords are also thinking about His Majesty's safety, and I can understand it.
Moreover, adults can always worry about His Majesty's safety. This is a sign of loyalty, and we should appreciate it. "
"Li Xiang was joking, they were just out of curiosity, but I was also a little curious, why did Li Xiang bring so many farm tools?" Feng Quji said.
He took a closer look at what Li Si brought, and it looked like farm tools, so he asked.
Li Si was quite surprised. He didn't recognize these farm tools at first, but Feng Quji could tell at a glance that these farm tools were farm tools.
"Prime Minister Feng has a good eye. Yes, these are the latest agricultural tools, which can increase Da Qin's food production several times." Li Si said.
Feng Quji was startled and said, "Xiang Li, you can't say this nonsense. It's not that easy to multiply it several times."
A distinguished noble sneered and said: "Prime Minister Feng, don't be deceived by Prime Minister Li. Even if this is a farm tool, I believe it can increase Da Qin's output, but how many times is this possible?
Everyone present may not believe it. Mr. Li, I don’t know where you got these farm tools, but I know that you may have been deceived. "
"Master Wang, don't speak nonsense." Feng Quji angrily rebuked, "How could Prime Minister Li say such big words for no reason? Prime Minister Li must have experimented with it.
Right, Prime Minister Li? "
Old fox. Li Si cursed secretly, but said: "I have not experimented, but the person who invented these agricultural tools said this, and also personally demonstrated how to use these agricultural tools, so I believe what the inventor said."
"Inventor? Didn't Li Xiang invent it?" Xungui asked.
"Nonsense? Do you think I have that much time to invent farm tools?" Li Si asked angrily.
"Master Wang, you are so unreasonable to Prime Minister Li, aren't you afraid that Prime Minister Li will punish you with a crime of disrespect?" Feng Quji said in a deep voice.
You are really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but you are afraid of opponents who are like pigs.
I'm trying my best to find out the functions of these farm tools, but you have nothing to say.
The two prime ministers are talking to each other. What qualifications do you, a third-rank official, have to interrupt?
Mr. Wang seemed to know something, so he apologized and returned to his original seat.
"Li Xiang made you laugh." Feng Quji said with a smile, "I would like to ask Li Xiang if the inventor is the strange person mentioned by His Majesty?"
"You also know about Qiren? Your Majesty told Prime Minister Li?" Li Si said in shock.
"Although it is not what your Majesty said, your Majesty already knows that I already know it. Please tell the truth, Mr. Li, whether these farm tools are the inventions of strange people that your Majesty said." Feng Quji asked again,
Li Si did not answer, but asked again: "Prime Minister Feng, before I answer your question, can you tell me how much you know about this strange man?"
