Chapter 339 "Minister of Agriculture"

Then the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected and some unexpected.

As expected, Ying Zheng did not break his promise, and immediately after the extermination of Yan and Dai, 120,000 people and 50,000 labor were sent to the north.

Most of the people were moved from the Northland by Zhao Wangjia, and Zhao Bing was captured for 50,000 labor.

As said before, Zhao and Qin have the deepest grievances. Most of Zhao Bing dare not use them, and they are usually consumed as labor.

In fact, it was a simple matter of delegating Zhao Bing to labor, because labor was tired and hungry. After just a few months, he lost his combat effectiveness and no longer had to worry about their rebellion.

These people were sent to the North in several batches.

Ying Zheng even considered the survival of these people and sent a large amount of food...this is indeed what the Northland urgently needs.

Although the Northland at this time could already rely on textiles and cloth sales to purchase grain, the grain was not yet large enough to feed more than 200,000 people and laborers in the two counties.

The people are very easy to deal with. They wanted to return to the North to live and work in peace. At this time, the North was safe and promising under the development of Shen Bing. They all lived in the North with a grateful and rejoicing mentality.

This is also the so-called "great governance after great chaos."

For example, the people in front of them who were fooled by Zhao Wangjia to replace the country, they thought they were in danger of their lives, but they didn't expect to return to their hometown to live a better life than before... This is just a dream for them.

The handling of labor is more difficult.

After all, it was Zhao Bing. On the one hand, he was brainwashed by the nobles of the Zhao country and on the other hand he fought and killed with the Qin army.

At first, Shen Bing could feel the hatred in their eyes when he saw rows of shackled laborers.

Shen Bing still asked Wang Bai and Lei Hui to appease them as before, and used the conflicts between the Huns and other tribes to lighten them, and then give them enough personal safety, food and even power...It won't take long before they will be quickly affected. Assimilated.

Unexpectedly, the Qin Army did not wait for half a year to destroy Qi.

Mengwu didn't even return to his division, but after extinguishing Yandai, he immediately pulled his troops under the Qi State City and surrounded him.

Shen Bing thought this might be because the Qin army dispatched troops just in time to attack before the winter...The Qin State in history should be winter after the eradication of Yan and the two countries.

As I said before, winter is not suitable for soldiers, especially for siege. Out of cautious consideration, Yingzheng will wait until the second year.

But now the use of soldiers is extremely smooth, and Yan and Dai were destroyed within a few months, and there are still a few months before winter, so they simply directed their soldiers at Qi.

Fusu was also a little excited about this.

In fact, it is not just the support of the Soviet Union, the whole army is discussing the battle to destroy Qi.

Because everyone is looking forward to a future, after the eradication of Qi, the world will be unified, is the war over?Their suffering will come to an end?Will you live a happy and stable life in the future?

So the whole army, the whole city, and even Shen Bing believed that all the people in the Central Plains were looking forward to that day.

Only Shen Bing was noncommittal.

Because he knew that the destruction of Qi State could be said to have opened a new chapter, but it did not mean that the suffering of the people would end, nor that the war would end.

On the contrary, the suffering of the people has just begun after Qi was destroyed and the world was ruled.

Let's not talk about the destruction of Baiyue in the south...At this time, Baiyue was in charge of the surrender of Lord Changping, so there was no need to continue the battle of Baiyue in the south as in history.

But there are still Huns to the north.

The nomads in the north come and go like the wind, unless they can find the main force to inflict heavy losses like Shen Bing, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to destroy them.

So the connection project of the Great Walls of various countries began.

More serious is...

Shen Bing believes that when the Qi State falls, the "Pandora's Box" in Ying Zheng's heart is opened.

Qi State is located on the coast of the East China Sea. Many fishermen have seen mirages after going out to sea, so the theory of fairyland is extremely common, and many alchemists who live on immortals have been derived from this.

At this time, Yingzheng lost his goal because of fulfilling his grand aspiration to dominate the world. He always wanted to be able to live forever and protect his country for generations to come.

As a result, local officials took advantage of what they wanted and entered...

This is not a good thing for Shen Bing.

Because he needs a sober victory rather than a mediocre victory.

The sober Ying Zheng will help the development of the Northland as it does now, and even knows what is right and what is wrong.

The mediocre Yingzheng will do many silly things and will do everything for longevity and immortality.

in other words.

If the reunification process accelerates, it means that Shen Bing has less time to prepare in the North.

Just when Shen Bing had a headache, Cheng came in and reported:

"General, see you Xu Ying!"

Shen Bing couldn't help being overjoyed, and said quickly:

"Hurry up!"

It was Xu Ying and some of his disciples who had come. He was originally in Xianyang at this time.

Every year during the harvest season, Xu Ying has to return to Xianyang, because at this time the farm's experimental field in Xianyang is also harvesting, Xu Ying needs to report to Yingzheng the situation of each field and decide on the strategy for farming next year.

However, when he ran around the test field statistics and made comparisons, he suddenly heard that a hydraulic textile machine had been installed in the North.

This was what Xu Ying's disciple Zhang Ge told him.

Zhang Ge bowed in front of Xu Ying and said:

"Sir, the disciple heard some news about Shen Bing..."

Originally, Xu Ying was still watching and recording attentively, when he heard the word Shen Bing, he raised his head and asked:

"Oh, has Shen Bing made a new thing again?"

Zhang Ge swallowed hard and replied:

"Yes."

"But it has little to do with farming, so the disciple thinks..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying asked directly:

"What is it?"

Zhang Ge replied:

"It is reported to be a hydraulic loom."

Xu Ying was taken aback, repeated the name twice, and then was surprised:

"Is this hydraulic loom, like water-powered pounding rice, that can weave cloth without using water power?"

Zhang Ge replied:

"That's right, so the cloth in the north has been sold everywhere, even in Xianyang..."

After Xu Ying was confirmed, he couldn't help but rejoice:

"There is such a good thing, not only using water power to pound rice, but also water power to weave?"

"If weaving and pounding rice are resolved, the people will no longer have to worry about food and clothing!"

"How can it be said that it has nothing to do with farming!"

"Get the horse now, I'll rush to the Northland immediately!"

Zhang Ge hurriedly stopped:

"Sir, but the journey to the north is far away and I have not waited for the affairs here yet..."

Xu Ying replied without even thinking about it:

"What are these things compared to hydroweaving?"

"Get ready!"

Zhang Ge had to respond with a few people to prepare.

Shen Bing was worried about the lack of a "minister of agriculture", and Xu Ying and his party came to solve the problem.

They don’t even think about leaving when they come.
