I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 420 Something big happened!

In the summer of 251 BC, the State of Qin sent an envoy to the State of Zhao, hoping to repair the relationship between Qin and Zhao.

This was the first time Zhao Zheng had ever come into contact with an envoy from the Qin state since he was old enough to understand things.

Zhao Zheng did not display his exceptional talent as Zhao Ji had hoped; instead, he behaved in a rather conventional manner.

Zhao Ji was very disappointed by this and claimed to be ill and stayed at home.

The Qin envoy paid no attention to Zhao Ji; his purpose in coming to Zhao was to stabilize relations between the two countries.

King Zhaoxiang's health had been poor since the beginning of spring. Fearing that other states would take advantage of the change of power in Qin, he sent envoys to Zhao.

As the prime minister of Zhao, Lian Po inevitably had to deal with envoys from Qin.

Lin Xiaohe's name then reached the ears of the Qin envoy.

"Two shi per mu?!" A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Qin envoy.

Unlike the Zhao state, which emphasized commerce over agriculture, the Qin state, starting with Shang Yang's reforms, placed great importance on agriculture and regarded it as the core strategy for national survival and expansion.

The Qin state's meticulous management of farmland was legally guaranteed. Its core was the promotion of fallow land and the establishment of the "Field Law," which detailed various aspects of farmland management, including planning, grain allocation, and water conservancy maintenance.

This year, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, overseen by Li Bing, the Prefect of Shu Commandery, has been largely completed. King Zhaoxiang was delighted with this and bestowed many rewards upon Li Bing.

The Qin envoy lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the excitement and ambition within them.

The next day, he went to the outskirts of Handan under the pretext of sightseeing.

Lin Xiaohe's farm is like a different world from other farmlands.

The farmers on the farm each performed their duties in an orderly and methodical manner, and the farmland was planned as if it had been measured with a ruler, making it exceptionally neat.

This pleased the Qin envoy, who was accustomed to Qin laws.

After a brief tour, confirming that Lin Xiaohe was indeed talented and not just boasting, the Qin envoy pretended nothing had happened and returned to his residence.

He inscribed Lin Xiaohe's name on bamboo slips, intending to recommend her to the emperor after returning to Qin.

The Qin envoy came like the wind, and left like the wind.

This year passed extremely quickly in Lin Xiaohe and Zhao Zheng's eyes, as if it had been put on an accelerator.

But for Lian Po and the Zhao people suffering from disaster, every day of that year felt like an eternity.

The tragic situation in Daidi was shocking.

I can accept my son dying in battle, encountering a natural disaster, or suffering an accident. But I cannot accept my son... my son...

The once well-maintained wife of the richest man turned white overnight.

Her only son was unfortunately chosen to become a commoner in the Dai region.

Upon witnessing this scene, the richest man's wife fainted.

She knew her son was mediocre, good for nothing, and a womanizer. She didn't expect him to inherit the family business; she just wanted him to be a wealthy idler.

However, this way of dying is like tearing out one's own heart.

The richest man's wife's grand speech caused no ripples, because her son was not the only one who had suffered such a fate.

Even many foreign netizens who disliked the Eastern Kingdom felt sorry for them and advised: "Leave the trial grounds. In ancient times, besides famine, there were also various diseases and plagues; the death toll would only rise."

Yes, aliens are friendly, not as scary as you think. Persistence is a virtue, but persisting in the wrong direction becomes stubbornness.

These remarks swayed some of the people of the Eastern Kingdom, but the Eastern Kingdom government gritted its teeth and resolutely refused to bow down to the Civilization Trial Ground.

We will not stop fighting until all the blood is spilled.

Military force has its battlefield, and so do hearts and minds. The mighty Eastern Nation will never surrender, no matter the battlefield. Public opinion surges across the physical world; on the trial grounds, time races forward like a galloping horse.

In the autumn of 251 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin passed away. Around the same time, Lin Xiaohe's fields yielded another bumper harvest. Lin Xiaohe's name spread far and wide among the people.

Under the deliberate suppression of Guo Kai and his gang, Lian Po almost lost the emperor's favor and found it difficult to move forward in the political center of Zhao.

Guo Kai suggested sending Lian Po's most trusted deputy to Dai as a prefect, who would not only be responsible for solving the famine in Dai but also for preventing the Xiongnu from invading the border.

This is a hot potato.

Without sufficient funds and supplies, no one can resolve the crisis in Daidi!

After returning from court that day, Lian Po nearly suffered a heart attack from anger.

Lin Xiaohe volunteered to assist with handling government affairs.

Lian Po was in a state of confusion, but considering that Lin Xiaohe did indeed have some talent in farming, he agreed to let him accompany his deputy to the Dai region.

The deputy had finally climbed to the central government of Zhao, but was suddenly exiled to the frontier. He was so bitter that he fell ill, and this illness lasted until 250 BC.

In 250 BC, Lord Anguo succeeded to the throne of Qin and appointed Prince Yiren as crown prince.

Three days later, King Anguo died, and Yiren succeeded him.

The speed at which the King of Qin was replaced left the other states dumbfounded.

In just three days, Zhao Zheng transformed into a prince of Qin, or more precisely, the eldest son of Qin!
More importantly, Qin Yiren was in poor health, and besides Ying Zheng, he only had one son, Chengjiao.

Cheng Jiao is three years younger than Zhao Zheng, and whether he will grow up is still unknown. His mother is a lady of the state of Han, belonging to the Han clan of the Qin imperial harem.

The political scene in the State of Zhao was instantly abuzz with excitement.

Many states intermarried, but the Han faction in the Qin court was very powerful, while the Zhao state was as weak as a candle in the wind and was constantly being suppressed.

But now, isn't the opportunity here?
According to the rules of etiquette, Zhao Zheng, the eldest son of the King of Qin, is very likely to be made the crown prince!
There's not much to say; Zhao Ji and her son must return to Qin.

Between nations, there's always a sense of propriety. The King of Zhao couldn't very well openly say, "Hey, King of Qin, I'm sending your wife and son back to seize your property."

Therefore, the King of Zhao sent an envoy to Qin to strengthen the friendship between the two states. Zhao Ji and her son accompanied the envoy.

The day we set off was in late spring or early summer.

The grand delegation passed through the gates of Handan. Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng's carriage lagged behind.

The city gate was wide, and another carriage was traveling alongside them.

"Stop the carriage. Mother, I need to speak with someone." Without waiting for Zhao Ji's question, Zhao Zheng jumped off the carriage.

At the same time, a person got off another carriage.

That's Lin Xiaohe.

Behind Lin Xiaohe's carriage was a winding stream of people. Hundreds upon hundreds of commoners and slaves had voluntarily followed her to Daidi.

The early summer breeze carries a rich floral fragrance.

Zhao Zheng stared intently at Lin Xiaohe, finally voicing the question that had been lingering in his mind: "Who are you? Are you a visitor from beyond the realm, or a mountain spirit or monster? What are you doing here?"

[Alert! Alert! Alert! Data error!]

A sharp alarm sounded at the Star Alliance Civilization Observation Center.

Lin Xiaohe also received a warning from Xinbao: [Danger! Extreme danger! Role-playing is about to fail!]

Lin Xiaohe knew that she should deny it so that the Civilization Trial could continue.
