For Xiao He and others, taking refuge with the King of Han can only be said to be the last choice.

Liu Ji, on the other hand, may not agree.

Just look at Zhang Han and you will know.

Although Zhang Han was still re-employed, from being a general who commanded hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, he was now just a sinecure, not even a county lieutenant.

The soldiers who came to Zhang Han that day were also broken up and scattered to various places.

That group of people will soon be assimilated by the King of Han's subordinates. Not to mention a year later, it will be half a year later. Zhang Han's words are almost like air to this group of people.

If Liu Ji comes over, I'm afraid it will end in the same way, and at most he will be made a general.

This may be an unacceptable result for a small prince with tens of thousands of troops.

The most important thing is that once you vote for the King of Han, it means that the future outcome is also determined.

Because the King of Han's control over the troops was far beyond their imagination.

"Should we?" Cao Shen looked at Xiao He with a sad face. The situation was getting worse and worse. A sad look was always on his face, which was very depressing.

"No!" Xiao He suddenly looked at Cao Shen and explained: "We are now in the Chu army. If we go to admonish the King of Han at this time, Lord Wu Xin will definitely attack our lord immediately."

"It's okay to contact him secretly in private, right?" Cao Shen said.

"There is no airtight trousers in this world. Then King Han is not an ordinary person..."

Before Xiao He finished speaking, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open.

What came in were two guards wearing red military uniforms. Because they had leather armor on their chests and backs, they didn't look out of place.

"You two, the king invites you..."

Xiao He:???

Cao Shen:???

"Please..." The guards made a formal invitation gesture. In Luoyang City, there is no one they can't invite.

"You two, the King of Han wants to see us two?" Xiao He looked confused, and his heart was already full of dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it time to invite Mr. Fan?" Cao Shen was also a little confused.

Just now, I was asking if I wanted to have some private contact with the King of Han, but before I could finish my words, he came.

And please do it so openly and honestly.

"Then I don't know. The king has specified that he wants to see you two. Please, please. The king is not that free!" The guard was a little impatient.

They were just two counselors from the Chu State, and their status was so low that they couldn't even speak in the Chu State's envoys.

How did the King of Han know about them?

Could it be that???

Xiao He's face suddenly turned pale...

The two of them originally wanted to keep quiet, but under the leadership of the imperial guards, how could it be possible to keep quiet?

When they arrived in front of the courtyard where Fan Zeng and others were, the imperial guards of Gouri even greeted each other, causing the Chu State envoys in the courtyard to look at each other sideways.

I don’t know how much I could see, but I must have seen two people.

"Huh, what an unfamiliar dog!" Fan Zeng was so angry that he didn't even care about his old arms and legs, and slapped several cases hard.

"Fan Gong, we must find a way. Although Liu Ji is not a talented person, he still has several generals and tens of thousands of troops. We must find a way to appease him!" Someone immediately suggested.

"His counselors have all gone to see the King of Han, so what else can he do to appease him?"

"If you ask me, just tell Mr. Wu Xin directly and kill Liu Ji quietly to avoid betrayal in the future!"

"right……"

Xiao He and Cao Shen's faces became increasingly pale.

The guards can't walk fast, and they can't walk fast either.

Vaguely, the two of them heard the discussion in the hospital. Although it was incomplete, the known information was enough.

…

In the palace...

The king was neither hungry nor idle, although he was the most idle among them all.

Only the two prime ministers, Zhang Buyi, Sima Xin and others were left in the palace.

Zhang Buyi stood motionless behind Wang Buxu, like a mascot. If it weren't for his eyes that kept rolling around and the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time, no one would have noticed him standing here.

Below, the two prime ministers sat opposite each other, with several cases in front of them, and bamboo slips with ink and brush on them.

"It's impossible. Even if we can find so much material, we can't find so many craftsmen." Chen Pingping argued with a red face.

"Nothing is impossible. The Equipment Department currently has nearly 10,000 people and can build one or two thousand sets in a day. There are still a few months until spring planting. There is still enough time. Even if we can't keep up, we can still put them together first.

Replace the farm tools around Luoyang." Zhang Liang said accurately.

"Where are you going to get so much materials? Don't you have to call for corvee again? The king just said that there will be no call for corvee in a short time. How does the king's prestige depend on doing this?"

"Now is a special period. If we don't improve farm tools, we won't be able to use the farmland this year. I don't know how long the next war will take. If we don't change it now, we don't know when it will happen in the future..."

"..."

Wang Buxuan looked at the two prime ministers speechlessly.

In later generations, this kind of topic could be settled in the village committee, but now, such a simple and necessary topic has to be solved in the court, and it requires two prime ministers to argue with each other with red faces.

Wang Buxu deeply felt that the times still need progress and society needs development...

"Okay..." Wang Buxian really couldn't listen anymore.

There is no denying the professionalism and dedication of the two prime ministers, but my own thinking model far exceeds theirs.

"Agricultural tools must be innovated, and the construction period must be shortened. The blades can be made of copper, and other parts remain the same. In addition, after the plan is worked out, the grinding tools can be made first, and then directly poured and formed in one go, and then polished and installed without affecting each other.

." Wang Buhung ordered directly.

The two first argued for a long time between using copper and iron, but in the end there was no conclusion, and then the topic turned to whether to do it? When to do it.

Do it!

It must be done!

Take a look at what the folk farming tools are now.

The heavy wooden frame is fixed on top with sharpened stone chips. It is difficult for a cow to pull such a farm tool, let alone a human.

Iron and copper are both strategic materials. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he confiscated all weapons and materials, including iron or copper from farm tools, although not much could be used.

"Your Majesty, Xiao He and Cao Shen are here!" A report suddenly came from outside the palace.

Speaking of these two people, Wang Buxu was really drooling. He specially arranged for the imperial guards to listen to the wall, and then heard the scene where Xiao He and Fan Zeng were fighting each other.

After the news reached the palace, Wang Buxing immediately arranged for people to invite Xiao He and the others.

What are you doing here?

Just treat it as an invitation for the two of them to come to Luoyang Palace for a stroll.

"Yes! Let them in!" Wang Buxu responded, turned to look at the two prime ministers, and said:

"Issuing a decree to recruit people, things, and methods that can increase production in the Xia Dynasty, people who are good at managing cultivated land, agricultural tools that can improve farming efficiency, and methods that can increase production. Anyone who is adopted will be given a title and rewarded by a senior official.
