The Wondrous Grain-Holding Rice Measure
At this time, the royal court of Xiqi was holding a court session.
After all, Xiqi has now announced its intention to the world and will rebel after the autumn harvest, so there are naturally many things to do.
However, Ji Chang, who was sitting above, was already somewhat drowsy.
He's really not in good spirits right now, so it's already quite remarkable that he's managed to force himself to attend the conference.
While the meeting was in progress, they heard that Jiang Ziya had led three strangely shaped people to Xiqi City to request an audience with the Marquis.
Ji Chang was feeling somewhat drowsy, suddenly became more alert, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Now that the entire army of six million is in Jiang Ziya's hands, why is Jiang Ziya not properly leading the troops back?
Six million troops were stationed at Mount Qi Pass, but Jiang Ziya ran back to Xiqi.
Something big is definitely going to happen.
"Now that the Prime Minister has returned, let's invite him quickly."
The eunuch who delivered the message quickly spread it.
Before long, the very old Jiang Ziya led three strangely shaped, towering men into the imperial court.
"Jiang Ziya greets his lord!"
Upon seeing Jiang Ziya return, Ji Chang forced himself to appear composed and gave a faint smile.
"Grand Duke Jiang is back?"
"Now that you hold military power and are busy with military affairs, why have you returned to Xiqi City instead of commanding troops at Mount Qi Pass?"
"Could it be that some major incident has occurred?"
Upon hearing the Marquis's question, Jiang Ziya quickly answered.
"Reporting to my lord, Ziya's three nephews recently descended the mountain to assist Xiqi, therefore Ziya has brought them here to request an audience with you, Marquis!"
"In addition, the three of them have brought a treasure to present to Your Lordship!"
As Jiang Ziya spoke, the three people behind him immediately bowed down.
Ji Chang also set his sights on the three of them.
These three people were all tall and imposing.
Each of them was probably half a head taller than the average person, and standing in the crowd, they certainly had the feeling of standing out from the crowd.
In addition, the three of them had bizarre and ugly appearances, looking as terrifying as monsters.
However, he knelt on the ground at this moment, and seeing this, Ji Chang's dark expression gradually softened.
Although I felt somewhat annoyed by these three people, they surprisingly knew some manners.
Ji Chang nodded.
"What treasures have the three great masters brought to Xiqi?"
Jiang Ziya chuckled.
He then took out the treasure from his bosom.
"Reporting to my lord, this is the treasure. It's called Grain-Holding Rice Measure, and it's like adding wings to a tiger for Xiqi."
The others were also filled with curiosity, staring intently at what Jiang Ziya was holding.
But I felt greatly disappointed.
This isn't some kind of treasure at all!
It was clearly just a rice measure for holding grain.
What use could it possibly have?
Everyone's eyes revealed a look of disdain.
If this thing were made of rare materials, that would be one thing.
The problem is that it looks extremely ordinary, with nothing strange about it at all.
Seeing the disdainful expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Ziya smiled slightly.
Then he turned his attention to Marquis Ji Chang of the West.
"My lord, you must not underestimate this treasure."
"This treasure is extremely rare; with it, there will be a continuous supply of food."
"From now on, Xiqi will no longer be troubled by food supplies."
Hearing this, everyone's curiosity was piqued again. Could such a thing really produce food indefinitely?
It just seems absurd no matter how you look at it.
The key issue is that this thing is really nothing special or unusual.
It even looks a bit worn out. Is Jiang Ziya going to try and fool people with this piece of junk again?
Seeing the doubtful looks on everyone's faces, Jiang Ziya smiled slightly.
He then channeled his magic power, and a burst of light erupted from the rice container.
After the light faded, the inside was found to be filled with grain.
Everyone was astonished to see the food appear out of thin air. If this thing had such an ability, it would truly be considered a treasure.
Jiang Ziya tilted the object slightly, and immediately a large amount of grain flowed out continuously, yet the grain in the rice container did not decrease.
As time went by, more and more grain flowed out; in just a short while, several bags of grain had already flowed out.
The grain piled on the ground was already almost half a person's height.
The grain in the Grain-Holding Rice Measure remained intact.
Upon seeing this, everyone was immediately taken aback.
Jiang Ziya was right, this is indeed a wonderful treasure.
Jiang Ziya was not fooling people.
With this, there will be a continuous supply of food.
This is absolutely a miracle.
With this thing, we'll never have to worry about food again. It may look small, but its value lies in its ability to produce food all the time.
In just a short time, so much grain has been produced. If this magic weapon were used day and night, wouldn't the produced grain pile up like mountains?
This is absolutely an indispensable treasure for military campaigns.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was also taken aback.
He never imagined he would have such a treasure.
That's really too strange.
Is it possible for something to come from nothing in this world?
"Grand Duke Jiang, this treasure is indeed magical, but it's truly unbelievable."
"Where did this grain come from? Could it really be fabricated out of thin air or imagined out of thin air?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya revealed a faint smile.
"This treasure, though incredibly wondrous, is not something fabricated out of thin air or imagined out of thin air."
"The grain in this Grain-Holding Rice Measure is just enough to produce the next grain."
"The reason this magical artifact can continuously produce grain is because it possesses the power of creation and the power of transportation."
"He was able to gather all the grain within a radius of several thousand miles."
"Regardless of whether the grain is ripe or not, this treasure can accelerate its ripening, and then use its teleportation magic to move it here--------"
Jiang Ziya held up this treasure and showed it off to everyone.
Although the explanation was rather vague, most of the ministers understood at least a part of it.
Everyone then realized what was going on.
No wonder Jiang Ziya has been leading six million warriors to farm all this time.
It turns out that the main purpose was to complement this treasure.
As long as there are grains or seedlings in the ground.
They can all use this magic item to accelerate ripening, and then collect the magic item.
I must say, this is truly a wonderful treasure.
With it, the Xiqi army might very well no longer have to worry about food.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was also very pleased.
He immediately appointed Han Dulong and Xue Ehu as grain protection generals.
Wei Hu was also appointed as the General in charge of grain transport.
In addition, all three of them received huge rewards.
Next, Jiang Ziya discussed the most important matter with everyone.
That was the founding of the Kingdom of Xiqi.
Everyone was taken aback by Jiang Ziya's words.
Is Jiang Ziya planning to establish a kingdom ahead of schedule?
However, upon closer examination, this is indeed a feasible plan.
After all, they had already declared rebellion.
Establishing the nation ahead of schedule would be even more inspiring.
The group immediately began preparations.
Three days later, Xiqi was founded, with the era name Western Zhou.
Ji Chang, the sage ruler of Xiqi Marquis Ji Chang of the West, became "King Wen of Zhou"!
From then on, they officially became rivals to the Yin Shang Dynasty.
This news quickly spread throughout the world.
The people of Xiqi were extremely excited.
The state of Xiqi was established and named Western Zhou.
They were naturally extremely excited.
Following in the footsteps of the wise ruler to overthrow the tyrannical emperor is naturally what people desire.
In addition, there is another piece of news that is most exciting.
That is, several immortals actually came to Xiqi.
Furthermore, this deity brought with him a treasure capable of producing endless food.
What does this mean?
This means that all the gods in the heavens were devoted to the Western Zhou.
This means that even the gods supported King Wen of King Wen of Zhou's decision.
The gods all supported the Western Zhou's Campaign Against Shang.
How could the people of Western Zhou not be excited about such support?
They all rushed about, celebrating with each other.
An atmosphere of bustling activity unexpectedly arose within the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It's a feeling of Yang Mei and immense satisfaction.
They felt this was a blessing from heaven for the Western Zhou.
When the people of the Western Zhou came into contact with the people of the Yin Shang and Shang Dynasties, they all announced this matter.
That arrogant attitude made the people of Yin Shang grit their teeth in disgust.
They are clearly rebels, yet they are all so arrogant and haughty.
It's absolutely infuriating.
But for the time being, all they could do was hurl insults and grit their teeth in hatred.
With the establishment of the Western Zhou in Xiqi.
Suddenly, the Western Zhou Dynasty became incredibly powerful, and many hesitant feudal lords extended olive branches to Western Zhou.
