Chapter 68: Divine Objects Appear, Martial King Establishes Temples and Shrines
Zhangtai Palace.
With the submission of Bai Yue and Loulan, and the marriages of the Bai Yue Queen, the Bai Yue Holy Maiden, the Loulan Queen, and the Loulan High Priestess to Martial King Zhao Wu being settled, the main hall was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
“Congratulations, Martial King.”
“Congratulations, Big Brother.”
◈◈◈
Gongzi Gao and the others felt as if they had swallowed flies, but they had to offer their congratulations on the surface, forcing smiles.
Even Gongzi Fusu was no exception.
Originally, he was the Firstborn Son of Great Qin.
His name for benevolence spread throughout the world.
But with the appearance of Zhao Wu.
His halo was completely suppressed, becoming just one of the crowd.
As for the other Gongzi, Hu Hai.
He had now been crippled by Zhao Wu, and for the rest of his life, he could only lie in bed, living a life worse than death.
“Today, besides the matter of the alliance between Bai Yue, Loulan, and Martial King, I have an even greater joyous occasion to share with all of you, my beloved ministers.”
Ying Zheng was in a great mood. Seeing that the congratulations were almost over, he coughed lightly and began to speak slowly.
A wave of imposing pressure swept over them.
It made people instinctively want to kneel and submit.
The ministers’ hearts trembled, and they quickly quieted down, standing respectfully and solemnly.
At the same time.
They were curious, what other good news could compare to the submission of Bai Yue and Loulan?
“Bring forth the divine objects!”
Ying Zheng ordered.
“Divine objects?”
“???”
The court officials were all dumbfounded. Then, under their curious gazes, a court eunuch came before them carrying three strange objects.
One was entirely golden, shaped like a tower, with crystal-clear kernels on it.
One was entirely gray, oval-shaped, with soil clinging to it.
One was entirely crimson, long and oval, also with soil clinging to it.
“Are these the divine objects?”
Li Si, Meng Yi, and other civil and military officials had three large question marks appear above their heads. They could not see what was divine about these three objects at all.
“Is Old Zhao preparing to show off?” Zhao Wu stood lazily to one side, his bright, deep eyes gazing at…
Gazing at the beauties.
Only the beauties were worth looking at in this place.
Everything else was uninteresting.
If it wasn’t to support Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er, he wouldn’t even have bothered to come today.
Wasn’t it much better to sleep at home while hugging the Great Shark?
Seeing that no one recognized them, Ying Zheng was secretly pleased. He pointed at the golden, tower-shaped object on the left and said, “This object is called corn. It can be used as a staple food, has an excellent taste, and yields a thousand jin per mu.”
“What?”
“What?”
The civil and military officials widened their eyes in disbelief.
Even Li Si’s pupils constricted.
Corn?
A thousand jin per mu?
If this were promoted, Great Qin’s income would increase several times over.
“Your Majesty, does this corn really yield a thousand jin per mu?”
Right Chancellor Feng Quji’s voice trembled as he asked excitedly.
“A ruler does not speak falsely.”
Ying Zheng’s voice was low and carried an undeniable majesty.
“Hiss!”
“Congratulations, Your Majesty! May Great Qin last ten thousand years, and may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!”
“Congratulations, Your Majesty! May Great Qin last ten thousand years, and may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!”
Li Si, Feng Quji, and other officials bowed excitedly.
Not only them, but the Loulan High Priestess and the Jingjue Queen were also shocked.
They also knew the value of food.
A thousand jin per mu, it truly is a divine object.
“Don’t be impatient. Do you know what the yield per mu is for these potatoes and sweet potatoes?”
Ying Zheng pointed at the pale yellow oval potatoes and the crimson sweet potatoes, speaking meaningfully.
“Could it also be a thousand jin per mu?”
Li Si widened his eyes and asked excitedly.
“Be bolder!”
Ying Zheng smiled, not hurrying to speak.
Li Si’s heart trembled, his breathing froze, and he said in a trembling voice:
“Could it be twelve hundred jin per mu?”
Feng Quji and the other officials’ hearts were in their throats.
They didn’t expect that the potatoes and sweet potatoes, which looked less appealing than the corn, would have an even higher yield.
Ying Zheng shook his head.
The crowd was struck as if by lightning. Feng Quji trembled as he said, “Could it be fourteen hundred jin per mu?”
Their breathing became rapid, and their faces flushed with excitement.
“Forget it, you definitely won’t guess!”
Seeing the shocked and surprised expressions on everyone’s faces, Ying Zheng stopped keeping them in suspense and said directly, “These potatoes and sweet potatoes yield five thousand jin per mu!”
“Five thousand jin!?”
The court officials all gaped, their eyes wide, as if struck by lightning, and they even forgot to breathe.
◈◈◈
Thump.
At this moment, Right Chancellor Feng Quji trembled, lost his footing, and fell directly to the ground in shock.
“Heavens, there are actually such divine objects, five thousand jin per mu?”
The Loulan High Priestess and the Jingjue Queen opened their rosy, delicate mouths wide, their beautiful eyes wide, and their full, high breasts trembled violently.
If they had such divine objects in Loulan, wouldn’t the people of Loulan no longer have to go hungry?
Ying Zheng sat on the Dragon Throne, looking down at the shocked and scattered civil and military officials, as well as the Loulan High Priestess and the Jingjue Queen, his heart filled with pride.
Showing off is so satisfying.
Keep showing off.
Keep feeling satisfied.
Looking at them, he was reminded of how he had been so shocked in front of Zhao Wu before.

At this moment.
He finally understood how Zhao Wu felt when he showed off in front of him.
However, he noticed that apart from Zhao Wu and the already aware Gai Nie and Zhang Han, who were relatively calm, the Bai Yue Queen and the Bai Yue Holy Maiden were also very calm.
“Do they not understand what a yield of five thousand jin per mu means? Or do they already know?”
Ying Zheng thought that the two had climbed onto Zhao Wu’s bed yesterday, and his heart suddenly cleared.
“They probably already knew yesterday.”
At this time.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and the others came back to their senses from the shock and said excitedly, trembling, “Congratulations, Your Majesty! With these divine objects, the people of the world will have no worries.”
“May Great Qin last ten thousand years, and may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!”
“May Great Qin last ten thousand years, and may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!”
“May Great Qin last ten thousand years, and may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!”
A thunderous roar echoed through the main hall, through the Zhangtai Palace, through the entire Imperial Palace, deafening and earth-shattering.
Ying Zheng enjoyed the cheers of the crowd. After a moment, he pressed down with his hand, and the main hall immediately quieted down. The ministers looked at him expectantly.
“I presume all of you, my beloved ministers, already know that I suddenly went to Shu He yesterday, and also sent the Lord of Tongwu with troops.”
Ying Zheng said.
“Could it be that Your Majesty sent troops to protect the divine objects?” Li Si and the others immediately realized that these divine objects were in Shu He County.
“That’s right. These divine objects were offered to me by Wu’er yesterday, and several hundred mu have already been planted in Shu He County, enough to promote throughout Great Qin!”
“What?”
“These divine objects were offered by Martial King to Your Majesty?”
“Martial King has already planted several hundred mu in Shu He County? And it can be promoted throughout Great Qin at once?”
Li Si, Feng Quji, and other officials were shocked. They did not expect that such divine objects were offered by Martial King.
“Ah, ah, ah, why is it him again?”
“All the good things are taken by him!”
“It must be the Martial God!”
“It must be that Martial King obtained it from the Martial God. Damn it, why didn’t I meet the Martial God?”
Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu, and the other Gongzi were so envious and jealous that their faces turned purple.
They knew that Zhao Wu’s contribution had reached the heavens.
It was enough to be enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as a chancellor.
However, Zhao Wu was already a Martial King.
He also had the special privileges of entering the court without hastening, wearing swords and shoes in the hall, and being praised without having to announce his name… He was practically second only to one person and above ten thousand people.
In fact, there was nothing left to enfeoff him with.
“It was actually offered by Martial King!”
At this moment, the Loulan High Priestess and the Jingjue Queen looked at Zhao Wu, their beautiful eyes filled with admiration and worship. This would be their man.
He is truly amazing!
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Ying Zheng’s eyes held a hint of a smile. He said loudly, “Martial King, this single contribution alone is enough for the people of Great Qin to build shrines for Martial King, to be worshipped by all people!”
“I decree that corn shall be renamed Wu Rice, potatoes shall be renamed Wu Potatoes, and sweet potatoes shall be renamed Wu Sweet Potatoes. Martial King’s deeds shall be spread throughout the world, and thirty-six Martial King shrines shall be built, with incense burning eternally.”
“With Martial King present, the common people can be at peace, and Great Qin can be at peace.”
“Your Majesty is wise! May Great Qin last ten thousand years!”
“May Your Majesty live ten thousand years, and may Martial King live ten thousand years!”
Li Si, Feng Quji, and other officials congratulated him in unison.
At this time.
They did not dare to spoil Ying Zheng’s mood.
Moreover, they already understood that Martial King was equivalent to the second emperor of Great Qin. They had long given up the idea of opposing Martial King.
Therefore.
No matter how high Martial King’s rewards were, it would not affect them.
Gongzi Gao and the others could only feel envy and jealousy in their hearts.
On the surface, they had to fawn and smile.
Offering their congratulations.
They were not on the same level as Zhao Wu at all.
Like ants compared to a dragon.
They could only look up to him.
“Damn it! Zheng Ge’s imagination is amazing!”
Hearing Ying Zheng’s words, Zhao Wu couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
“Wu Potatoes? I should have called it Martial Arts Battle Through the Heavens!”
Zheng Ge is really too cute.
