Chapter fifty-seven, heading to Xianyang
Half a month later, King Zhuang Xiang ordered Yao Xing to bring Qu Yuanli to Xianyang for an audience.
Yao Xing originally thought that King Zhuang Xiang would come to Yao County in person to watch the Quyuan plow being made. After all, there are cement and red brick kilns in Yao County that are important to the country.
However, it has been nearly a year since I last left Xianyang, and it is time to go back and see Zhao Liao. I wonder if he will adapt to Xianyang.
Because he had to carry a curved shaft plow and could not ride his horse all the way, Yao Xing could only sit in a rickety carriage for more than ten days before arriving in Xianyang. The road was muddy and bumpy along the way. Every time Yao Xing suffered a bump, he wanted to hurry up.
Some used cement on the ground. But for today's Daqin, it will take a long time to strengthen the city wall, and the ground is secondary after all.
Arriving all the way to Zhangtai Palace, Yao Xing got off the carriage and waited at the gate of the palace. After getting permission, he entered on foot. There was no way, Yao Xing was not qualified to drive into the palace without Zhao Zheng following him.
Yao Xing was still the same King Zhuang Xiang he met in Zhao Ji Palace. After meeting him, he understood why King Zhuang Xiang called him back to Xianyang instead of going to Yao County in person.
Because King Zhuang Xiang was already pale and sickly, lying weakly on Zhao Ji's lap.
"Yao Xing pays homage to the king and queen." Yao Xing bowed and saluted.
Before King Zhuang Xiang could speak, Zhao Ji shouted: "They are all members of the family, why are you so polite!"
It seems that Zhao Ji now has a lot of say.
"Thank you, King, Queen." Yao Xing stood up and looked directly at Zhao Ji. Unlike King Zhuang Xiang who was morbid and sad, Zhao Ji's face was full of youth, and her eyes were still charming. She didn't know if she already had a lover.
King Zhuang Xiang coughed twice before saying his first words since Yao Xing entered the palace: "Tell me about your Quyuanli"
Yao Xing thought about it again and then said: "Compared with the plow used in the Qin State, the Quyuan plow is more time-saving and labor-saving. Using oxen to plow the fields can improve the hard work of the people during farming. The soil dug out is also deeper than that dug out by humans, which is more suitable."
Crops grow.”
Yao Xing actually doesn’t know much about things in the fields. Qu Yuan Li only remembers the general appearance after it appeared in novels and short videos. Su Han successfully made it after several experiments. The characteristics and differences of Qu Yuan Li are also present.
I'm thinking about it, and I'm not sure it's accurate, so I can only say it conservatively.
King Zhuang Xiang wanted to sit up excitedly, but he had no strength. With the help of Zhao Ji, he sat upright with heavy breathing and looked at Yao Xing with expectant eyes: "Has the experiment passed?"
"It has been tested, and its usefulness is greater than what Yao Xing claimed." Yao Xing lowered his head and reported back.
"Let me have a look!" King Zhuang Xiang ignored his dilapidated body and was so excited that he just passed by whenever he stopped breathing.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" Zhao Ji stretched out her hand and placed her hand on King Zhuang Xiang's chest.
"I'm going to die soon. Let me see that thing before I die, and my ancestors after death... I have something to say." King Zhuang Xiang stretched out his hand and asked Zhao Ji to help him stand up.
Zhao Ji had no choice but to help King Zhuang Xiang to stand up. But King Zhuang Xiang had no strength at all. How could Zhao Ji, a weak woman, support him? When Yao Xing saw this, he quickly stepped forward to help King Zhuang Xiang.
With one hand, he supported his body and helped him out.
