Chapter 3 Inviting Ying Zheng to Revolt

Seeing Zhao Yi, who looked strong but acted like a little adult.

Ying Zheng was so happy that he asked with a smile, "Young Zhao is here? Can you tell me what business you want to discuss with me?"

Ying Zheng was quite curious about what kind of business this three-year-old kid Zhao Yi would discuss with him.

He felt that the business Zhao Yi mentioned would give him a big surprise.

After all, Zhao Yi's understanding of the golden elixir shows that he is not an ordinary person.

Ying Zheng was very impressed that such a young child understood so much.

But my own children were still playing in the mud when they were three years old and didn't even know how to read.

It's really a waste of time to compare products.

I wish this kid Zhao Yi was my own child.

That way he can feel at ease handing over the Great Qin to him in the future.

Ever since he learned the truth about the golden elixir, Ying Zheng's desire to seek immortality has faded a lot.

Zhao Yi slowly took out a baked potato from his pocket.

This potato was also obtained by Zhao Yi from the system.

It is also a high-yield, virus-free, high-quality variety.

Even in the Qin Dynasty, when there were no chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu could reach 3,500 kilograms.

Thanks to Zhao Yi, the villagers were able to grow potatoes and have enough food to eat every day without going hungry.

After more than two years of planting accumulation, the villagers not only have enough to eat, but also have some left over to sell.

Zhao Yi was also very confident that the potatoes would be a best-seller.

Because potatoes are an excellent staple food.

It has balanced nutrition, is easy to grow, has strong adaptability, and has high yield. And unlike sweet potatoes, you won’t get heartburn if you eat too much.

It can be preserved for three months by burying it in dry sand, and for one or two years by cutting it into strips and drying it.

Ying Zheng was very confused when he saw Zhao Yi take out a tuber-like plant.

"Zhao boy, is this the only business you want to do with me?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Of course! Come on, Lao Zhao, how about you try its taste?"

As he spoke, Zhao Yi handed the baked potato in his hand to Ying Zheng, then took out two and handed them to Wang Jian and Zhang Han respectively.

Ying Zheng tore open the roasted potato and tasted it, his mouth full of the sweet and glutinous potato.

He nodded and commented, "It tastes pretty good, better than the cassava we usually eat, and it's filling."

"Is this the new staple food you discovered? It will definitely sell well judging by the taste."

Ying Zheng thought that the surprise Zhao Yi gave him was quite good.

The discovery of a new staple food means that there will be even fewer people starving in the Qin Dynasty.

Can reduce the probability of famine.

Zhao Yi smiled and replied, "Of course. This thing is called potato. It can be grown anywhere in Daqin, and the most important thing is that its yield per mu is 3,500 kilograms."

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were surprised and said, "What! The yield per mu is 3,500 catties."

Ying Zheng stared at the potatoes in his hand and asked excitedly, "Are you sure the yield per acre is 3,500 kilograms?"

Zhao Yi replied: "Of course. In fact, if the land is fertile, the yield per mu can be increased."

Ying Zheng couldn't believe his ears.

The yield is 3,500 kilograms! The yield can be increased.

Ying Zheng knew very well what these potatoes meant to the Qin Dynasty.

As long as it is promoted, it means that there will be no more famine in Daqin, and the people of Daqin will no longer go hungry!
The surprise Zhao Yi gave him was too big.

This potato is truly an auspicious sign!

But why didn't Zhao Yi, this kid, offer such a good thing as potatoes to the court?

If I offer these potatoes, I will at least be appointed as a county magistrate and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.

But Zhao Yi didn't do it. Instead, he wanted to find a businessman to do business with.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Zhao boy, why don't you offer these potatoes to the First Emperor? Wouldn't you be able to get an official position this way?"

Zhao Yi said unconcernedly, "Hey! What's the point of offering it? The first emperor of our Great Qin has eaten so much golden elixir that he has become stupid. He will not live more than three years at most."

Wang Jian asked in confusion, "But don't you have a way to cure the poison of the golden elixir? Why don't you present it to the emperor? Then the emperor will surely reward you handsomely, right?"

Wang Jian spoke out what was in Ying Zheng's mind. "Yes, why don't you offer them together?"

As a time traveler, Zhao Yi would certainly not do such a thing.

He knew it would be useless even if he offered it.

Because there was a chariot officer named Zhao Gao there.

Besides, even if Ying Zheng solved the heavy metal poison in the elixir, couldn’t Zhao Gao find another way to poison him?

Can I just go and tell Ying Zheng that Zhao Gao will attack you during his eastern tour?
How can a three-year-old kid like me, firstly, have no power; and secondly, no evidence.

To challenge the relationship between Emperor Ying Zheng and his ministers that had lasted for more than ten years?
It’s better to grow up safely in the village.

In addition, the system refreshed the task yesterday.

New mission [Fatherly Love and Filial Piety 2: Persuading Father to Rebel]

[Reward: Original model of steam engine and production process. ]

So Zhao Yi was moved.

That's a steam engine!
It represents the technology that could usher in the first industrial revolution.

Zhao Yi felt that persuading his father to rebel would be a great idea!

I have food and technology, while my scumbag father has money and connections.

The necessary conditions for rebellion are already in place.

So, you scumbag dad, rebel!
Zhao Yi whispered, "I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else."

"Because the Qin Dynasty is about to perish."

Many questions popped up in Ying Zheng’s mind.

Although it is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

But is this kid really that brave? !
He said in front of himself, the leader of the Qin Dynasty, very seriously that the Qin Dynasty was going to perish?

Wang Jian and Zhang Han on the side thought that Zhao Yi was a truly amazing kid.

He was able to say in front of His Majesty and his two generals that the Qin Dynasty was going to perish.

"Although I like Daqin very much."

"I also admire the First Emperor Ying Zheng. After all, he was able to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the Central Plains. He unified the writing system and the writing system. Such achievements can be said to be unprecedented and comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient China."

"Unfortunately, the Qin Dynasty will eventually be destroyed by its own people."

Ying Zheng couldn't hold it anymore.

Although I already knew that the three-year-old kid in front of me was far from an ordinary person.

After tossing and turning all night last night, I analyzed it.

Ying Zheng even suspected that Zhao Yi was the legendary immortal who had descended to the earth and transformed himself into the appearance of a baby to test the merits and demerits of himself as the emperor of the world.

Therefore, Zhao Yi was not treated as an ignorant little baby.

Especially today, Zhao Yi brought out potatoes that were said to produce several thousand kilograms per mu.

It further deepened Ying Zheng's speculation about Zhao Yi's identity as an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.

But when he heard that the Qin Dynasty was going to perish.

Ying Zheng was still a little defensive.

I am very confused as to why Zhao Yi is so sure that the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed by its own people.

After a slight hesitation, Ying Zheng finally asked, "Zhao boy, why are you so sure about this?"

Zhao Yi put his hands behind his back, looking like a mature little adult, and explained leisurely, "Because the First Emperor has not appointed a crown prince yet."

"And the candidates for the crown prince are Fusu and Huhai."

"But Fusu advocated feudalism and Confucianism. If he came to power, the Qin Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the Zhou Dynasty. That's why the First Emperor didn't make him the crown prince."

"Hu Hai was a student of Zhao Gao and he values ​​the rule of law. If he comes to power, he will implement an even harsher tyranny. This will push the people, who are already burdened with heavy labor and taxes, into a desperate situation, and a rebellion will break out."

"In addition, there will be irreconcilable factional disputes between Fusu, who advocates Confucianism, and Hu Hai, who advocates Legalism. And Hu Hai's teacher, Zhao Gao, has always been at odds with Crown Prince Fusu. He would not sit idly by and watch Fusu ascend to the throne, because that would jeopardize his own position."

“Will Zhao Gao do something radical to protect his position?”

"For example, when the First Emperor was on his eastern tour, he plotted a rebellion, and then colluded with Li Si, who was also a Legalist, to usurp the throne and support Hu Hai."

The more Ying Zheng listened, the more frightened he became, because he knew that what Zhao Yi said might very well become reality, so he had been reluctant to appoint anyone as the crown prince.

"So the Qin Dynasty will fall sooner or later. Old Zhao, you have money, and I have potatoes. Do you want to consider conspiring with me to do something big? To prepare for the future?"
