Great Qin: Ying Zheng Investigated Me, Then I Conquered the World

In the twenty-sixth year of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng had just unified the land. The people were destitute, and even the bark was stripped from roadside trees and eaten!

Ying Zheng watched his brother Ying Chengjiao dig up a clod of earth in the royal garden, wash it, and start eating. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Was his own brother so poor he had to eat dirt?

He went over to stop him, but then...

"What? You're saying this clod of earth is edible? It yields thousands of pounds and can even be used as a staple food?"

Ying Zheng was stunned!

Could such a miraculous thing really exist in the world?

But then the Black Ice Terrace uncovered one astonishing discovery after another about his brother. Cheap white paper for writing, so plentiful that people used a fresh sheet every time they wiped themselves. Cement that hardened into stone once dry. The land of Nanyue, where three harvests could be gathered in a year? The legendary Penglai Immortal Island the alchemists spoke of turned out to produce endless gold and silver?

Ying Zheng: "Did my dear younger brother, Lord Chang'an, really do all this?"

Years later, Ying Zheng gazed at the world map before him, his heart swelling with ambition, while Ying Chengjiao beside him felt utterly betrayed!

"Well, I'll be! You sneaky old fox, you've been probing all my secrets!"
