Ying Zheng was naturally aware of this matter, but it had little to do with Fusu. The main credit lay with Ran Fang, but Meng Yi didn't know about it.
But Meng Yi's words also reminded him.
But at this time, Ying Zheng did not want to release Ran Fang.
First, it is because Ran Fang seems to be a great talent now, but talented people will inevitably be arrogant. If I let him out and want to use him for his own purposes, I am afraid it will be difficult.
The second reason is because he felt that although it was inappropriate to lock Ran Fang in prison, he could at least get something out of him.
It's better to hold on for a while and see.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi.
"What you say makes sense."
"In that case, you will go to the prison and send some silk fabrics to make Fusu feel more comfortable in this prison."
"Remember to be careful when speaking in prison, and don't reveal your identity."
"By the way, the Confucian scholars who were imprisoned with Fusu will also send a share."
"I heard that this man took good care of Fusu in prison."
Hearing this, Meng Yi was slightly startled. Your Majesty is still unwilling to let Fu Su out? !
It's just because of his rude words, and it doesn't matter if he is detained for a few days. Why does this mean that he will be detained for a long time?
But what makes Meng Yi even more curious is why His Majesty would specifically give instructions to a Confucian scholar?
For a moment, Meng Yi was a little confused about Ying Zheng's thoughts.
"Here!"
"I excuse myself."
Meng Yi came out of Xianyang Palace in confusion. He always felt that His Majesty's words just now meant something, but he didn't know the deep meaning.
Just as he was thinking about it, he happened to see Zheng Guo wearing a piece of cloth with some ink still vaguely visible on the clothes, walking towards the direction of Xianyang Palace in messy clothes.
Zheng Guo was in his own house all day long, and he did not like to have too many entanglements with the ministers in the court.
My relationship with him can only be regarded as an acquaintance.
But seeing him enter the palace so casually today, I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I took the initiative to say: "Master Zheng, it's better to be neater when entering the palace. I'm afraid it's disrespectful to His Majesty to dress like this."
Zheng Guozheng was anxiously preparing to go to see His Majesty and explain today's conversation with Ran Fang clearly in Xianyang Prison. He did not expect to be taught a lesson by Meng Yi.
He glanced at Meng Yi, then looked at his clothes, proudly patted the ink on his clothes, and then said, "Humph! What do you know?!"
After saying that, without waiting for Meng Yi to answer, he walked straight towards the direction of Xianyang Palace.
Meng Yi was left alone, standing there in a daze. A person who usually seemed easy to talk to, how could he be so arrogant today?
He shook his sleeves fiercely and left Zhangtai Palace with a cold snort.
Here, Zheng Guo entered the palace anxiously, and before Ying Zheng could react, he knelt on the ground with a pop.
"I see your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Zheng Guo, who was in disheveled clothes, and looked a little surprised.
Why did Zheng Guo come to see him like this today?
"You are a minister of the DPRK, why is this happening?"
Zheng Guo looked a little excited and didn't care about anything else.
With a "stab" sound, he tore off the short curved shaft plow painted on his clothes.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng was stunned.
Zhao Gao, who was standing aside, took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"Zheng Guo! Are you planning to rebel?!"
Hearing this, Zheng Guo was slightly startled and looked at Zhao Gao with a blank expression.
He really couldn't understand why he rebelled when he just tore off his clothes?
But looking at Ying Zheng's slightly frowning brow, Zheng Guo immediately kowtowed and explained: "Your Majesty! I have no such intention! I just want to offer something!"
As he spoke, he raised his torn sleeves above his head.
Looking at this scene, Ying Zheng's brows gradually widened.
He still has some trust in Zheng Guo.
Although this person is a bit deviant, he does things in a measured manner. He must have something important, otherwise he would not behave like this in this hall.
"What is that in your hand?"
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's question, Zheng Guo immediately raised his head excitedly.
"This thing is called a short curved shaft plow, and it is a magical tool for farming!"
"Only one woman can cultivate two acres of land in one day. If this thing is popularized, Da Qin's farming technology can be raised to a new level."
Hearing what Zheng Guo said, Ying Zheng felt happy, but then quickly calmed down.
"Who thought of this...?"
Zheng Guo looked excited and said: "I thought hard after returning, but still had no clue, so I followed your Majesty's previous instructions and went to Xianyang Prison to ask Mr. Fusu."
"But after I went there, I discovered that a Confucian scholar imprisoned in the same prison as Mr. Fusu was actually a genius!"
"This is what the Confucian scholar told me about!"
"Has your identity been exposed?" Ying Zheng asked immediately when he heard that Zheng Guo actually started talking to Ran Fang.
Zheng Guo shook his head and said, "I have not revealed my identity."
After saying that, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zheng Guo saw this, although he was a little curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, Ying Zheng signaled Zhao Gao to present the pattern.
Although he didn't know much about farming equipment, he still trusted Zheng Guo's character and talent. Since he said so, it means that this thing is definitely not simple!
Looking carefully at the content on the lapel, Ying Zheng found that it not only recorded the advantages of the short curved shaft plow, but also recorded the shortcomings of the iron plowshare. It was really hit the nail on the head.
Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, Ran Fang knew so much about farming.
"Is this thing really so magical? Isn't Ran Fang exaggerating?"
Now Zheng Guo's admiration for Ran Fang is like a surging river. When he heard His Majesty say this, he subconsciously wanted to argue a few words.
"Your Majesty, I have studied farming equipment for many years. Although I dare not say that I know all the treasures, I do know it very well."
"When I saw this thing at that time, I knew that it could definitely improve the efficiency of farming. The person who could make this thing must be very talented."
"I have the courage to ask your majesty to ask this man to come out of Xianyang Prison and let him help me write a book. I will definitely write a book that will last forever."
The last sentence is the focus of Zheng Guo's visit to Ying Zheng today.
His intentions were all written on his face. Ying Zheng could naturally see it clearly and felt a little want to laugh in his heart. Zheng Guo was a good judge of people.
But in fact, Ying Zheng's smile spread from the bottom of his heart to his face. Zheng Guo was stunned, thinking that Ying Zheng agreed to his proposal.
Before the smile in his heart could spread to his face, he heard Ying Zheng speak.
"This matter will be discussed later. If you have any questions about your book, you can go to Xianyang Prison to ask Ran Fang at any time, as long as your identity is not revealed."
Zheng Guo was also shocked.
It seems that according to the meaning of His Majesty's words, the crime committed by Ran Fang is not ordinary?
Seeing that Zheng Guo opened his mouth and asked for mercy, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about releasing Ran Fang anymore. I have my own plan."
"Just concentrate on editing the book."
Hearing this, Zheng Guo could only helplessly bow and respond.
"I obey the decree!"
Coming out of the palace, Zheng Guo was still a little confused at this moment. He couldn't figure out what mistake Ran Fang had made. He actually made such great achievements, and His Majesty didn't let him go.
But thinking about Ying Zheng's appearance just now, Zheng Guo couldn't help but feel worried.
While Zheng Guo was distracted, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Master Zheng, please wait!"
