This time, it's my turn to show off.
Ying Zheng felt a surge of excitement.
Although it was a great power bestowed by immortals, it did not prevent him from using it to enhance his prestige.
"This is?"
"It's just a white bamboo slip (because it's not visible from a distance), and this thing can actually be used for planting?"
"Or perhaps, Your Majesty, you have stored the sweet potatoes somewhere else?"
"That's right. National treasures should not be left lying around. They must be kept in a safe place."
When Ying Zheng took out the card, all the ministers in the hall were stunned. Then, they quickly imagined a series of actions.
According to His Majesty the First Emperor, this is a priceless treasure that concerns the fate of the Qin Dynasty, and therefore cannot be disposed of casually.
However, they still couldn't figure out why His Majesty the First Emperor would take out a white object.
But then Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Haha, the sweet potato is right in my hands."
Everyone looked puzzled.
"?????????"
"When did Your Majesty start joking around?"
"Or is this some kind of riddle that you just didn't figure out?"
The ministers were all completely baffled, wondering what the First Emperor was trying to tell them.
It has to be said that one is influenced by one's company; after spending a long time with Xiao Ning, Ying Zheng gradually learned to keep things a secret.
"This is celestial food bestowed by the immortals; you should all take a good look."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the effect. He pinched the white crystal card between two fingers and then flicked it.
The white crystal card, like a feather, drifted down to the very center of the Jique Hall, in an extremely spacious area.
The next second, it was as if it were a magical spell.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous ministers and palace guards, a hundred bushels of sweet potatoes fell to the ground and appeared before everyone's eyes, accompanied by a flash of white light on the crystal card.
In an instant, all was silent!
Upon witnessing such an amazing scene, everyone was instantly petrified.
Jique Palace fell into silence, even deathly silence.
Previously, many ministers had remained skeptical of Ying Zheng's claims about high-yield grain crops.
So, after witnessing this divine power...
Everyone now truly believes that it can achieve a yield of fifty shi per mu!
This is a blessing from Heaven upon the Great Qin!
About fifteen minutes later, the entire Jique Hall erupted in an uproar.
"This...this...this!"
"Are immortals really possible in this world?"
"His Majesty has not only regained his youth, but has also mastered the legendary magic of 'The Universe in the Sleeve.' It seems that the immortals value our Great Qin more than the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."
"With this divine food, coupled with His Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess, and the secret assistance of the immortals, how can our Great Qin Empire not prosper!"
Almost everyone present wore an expression of utter astonishment. Even Wang Jian and Li Si, who were usually calm and collected, were dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's vanity was greatly satisfied; indeed, showing off is so satisfying.
Of course, as the First Emperor, he could not show such negative emotions on his face.
"Your Majesty, may I ask how this plant should be cultivated?"
Teng, the Prefect of Grain Supply, stepped forward and quickly asked.
Since it concerned the fate of the Qin Dynasty, even as one of the Nine Ministers and the Minister of Grain Administration, Teng dared not act recklessly. If he made a mistake and caused these immortal grains to wither, he would become a sinner for all time.
Even if the First Emperor did not punish him, he would die of shame.
"The immortal once said that the method of planting sweet potatoes is very simple. They can grow simply by being planted in the soil. However, you will need to figure out the specific cultivation method yourself."
Ying Zheng passed the buck back, leaving the problem to Teng.
"Alright, the matter of sweet potato planting is now entirely entrusted to you, my dear minister. The next matter concerns the traitors of Great Qin."
"I want them executed in public!"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng's tone changed, filled with pure killing intent.
The joyful atmosphere in the entire Jique Hall instantly fell silent.
Feeling Ying Zheng's invincible aura, even though it was summer, the ministers felt as if they were in an ice cellar and couldn't help but shiver.
They mourned silently, wondering who this fearless bastard was who dared to betray the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, provoking His Majesty's wrath in such a way is definitely no trivial matter.
