History

Ying Zheng came of age and took personal control of Qin after eliminating Lao Ai, weakening Lu Buwei, and bringing the Web organization back under his control 177. He made the conquest of the six states and unification of the realm his priority 178.

Qin Xuan gave Ying Zheng instructions for making paper and introduced him to potatoes as a portable food with value for both armies and civilians 172. In a later exchange, Ying Zheng supplied Qin Xuan with books printed on paper, while Qin Xuan gave him high-yield, drought-resistant crops. The new crops were expected to relieve Qin’s grain shortage and support its unification campaign 178.
