Chapter 108 Endless panic on the land of Qinchuan!
This was the first farm work after King Qin took office, and the entire Qin court paid great attention to it.
At the government's order, many elites left their homes and went to the land of hard labor. At this time, there was an unprecedented scene in the Guanzhong wilderness.
Almost all men, women, old and children went to work in the fields as long as they had to work. Government officials at all levels in the Qin Dynasty all entered the village. All government vehicles were requisitioned and drove to the pavilion.
On the field road, there is a continuous line of wheat-carrying oxcarts loaded as high as a hill.
There are golden wheat fields all over the mountains and plains. This year is an idea of a bumper harvest, but the old Qin people are hard-working and work hard to harvest despite the scorching heat.
The wheat fields in the boundless wilderness disappeared one by one. Two months later, the last wheat field on the land of Qin disappeared, marking the end of the busy summer season.
But all the people of Lao Qin never thought that after this summer rush, a huge disaster would break out and sweep the entire world.
However, Ying Gao's reminder was not taken seriously. Both Feng Chang and Qin Wangzheng believed that the Qin Dynasty would have good weather.
However, things turned out just as Ying Gao expected. An unprecedented severe drought had already revealed its traces. The drought had lasted for months, and no wet soil was found within three feet of digging holes in the fields, making it impossible to start planting in the summer.
At this moment, the entire Qin Dynasty and even the entire Central Plains were in panic. At the same time, the people of Sanchuan County finally understood Ying Gao's move to dig a well.
For a time, Ying Gao's prestige in Sanchuan County was at its peak, and he completely became the Buddha of thousands of families.
Compared with Sanchuan County's adequate preparations, Guanzhong became miserable. The only two old canals in Guanzhong could only water a few counties in the west.
Faced with such a severe drought, how could two old canals solve this unprecedented drought? What's more, at this time, the huge project of Zheng Guo Canal had just begun.
In desperation, farmers living near rivers and lakes worked day and night to water and plant crops. In the face of such natural disasters, this was just a drop in the bucket.
We could only watch the unearthed green seedlings dying, and the whole country wanted to cry without tears.
Xianyang Palace.
Qin Wangzheng's face was gloomy. For the first time, he felt that it was a difficult situation. This unprecedented drought affected millions of people in the Qin Dynasty, unlike Lu Buwei's matter.
"Wang Wan, how is the situation in the counties and counties in Da Qin at this stage?"
Qin Wangzheng knew in his heart that the court must make a decision, otherwise it would lead to greater turmoil.
Facing Qin Wangzheng, Wang Wan was silent for a while, and organized his words in his mind: "Your Majesty, at this stage, a severe drought has swept across the entire Qin land, and the impact on various counties and counties is greater or less."
"But they have all been affected. Now that we are planting in the summer, I am afraid that there will be no harvest..."
"Now in the entire Great Qin, only Sanchuan County is still busy with summer planting matters..."
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng frowned. He knew in his heart that questioning Fengchang at this time would not help. He looked at Wang Wan and said: "In the name of Gu, I urgently write a letter to the officials of all major counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty.
Supervise water supply, supervise planting, and open ditches to divert water."
"Xia Zhong's matter is related to the future foundation of our Great Qin and cannot be ignored..."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Wang Wan turned and left.
…
However, the measures taken by the Great Qin court did not help the situation. Until July, there was no rain in the hinterland of Great Qin, and even the six eastern kingdoms began to experience severe drought for months.
In the scorching sun, hungry people from the three Jin Dynasties flooded into Sanchuan County, and were taken over by Ying Gao, who had already been prepared.
Just as the hungry people poured into Sanchuan County, a frightening astrological prophecy spread along with the tide of hungry people.
"Sir, rumors are sweeping across the country now. The horror will spread to Xianyang in a few days. This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, it will cause turmoil in the country."
Hearing this, Ying Gao frowned, glanced at Feng Jie, and said, "Feng Jie, with the introduction of hungry people, what rumors are spreading?"
"This year the comet will appear in the west in the spring and the north in the summer. It will be eighty days from the south of the battle. It indicates that the king of Qin acted in reverse, causing punishment from heaven and causing a severe drought in the world."
"It is said that the astrologer predicted that there will be a great famine in Qin, the dead will not be accounted for, and the country will fall into chaos!"
…
"Made!"
Cursing angrily, Ying Gao's expression suddenly exploded with anger. He never thought that he would be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives by taking in hungry people.
At this moment, Ying Gao felt murderous intent in his heart.
"Let the people of Iron Eagle Swordsman contact Black Ice Platform and find out those who spread the rumors without interrogation. Since I have given them the right to live and they don't cherish it, then go to hell!"
Seeing Ying Gao's rage, Feng Jie did not dare to say anything at this moment, and quickly nodded and agreed to leave.
…
"It seems it's time to go to Xianyang, otherwise, many important events will be missed..." Standing in the study, Ying Gao was silent for a long time, and then said to the air.
"Wang Hu packs up and follows me to Xianyang. This matter can only be resolved by me personally entering Xianyang."
"promise."
Even Wang Hu, who didn't have much sense for politics, felt a crisis suddenly enveloped Sanchuan County at this moment.
He knew in his heart that someone was messing with Da Qin, and they were actually targeting Ying Gao.
…
In today's Sanchuan County, all major officials are operating normally. At this moment, Sanchuan County can still operate normally even without Ying Gao.
After changing his clothes, Ying Gao quickly left Luoyang with five iron eagle swordsmen without telling anyone in Sanchuan County, and headed straight for Xianyang with the Golden Order Arrow in hand.
Three days later.
"Wang Hu, after escorting this young master to the royal city, you will return to the mansion..."
On top of the chariot, Ying Gao looked solemn. He knew in his heart that this was another major challenge for Qin Wangzheng, and this led to Qin Wangzheng's first unlucky move since he came to power.
…
Holding the Golden Order Arrow all the way, coupled with Ying Gao's status, no matter whether it was Xianyang City or Xianyang Royal City, there was no obstruction, and no one blocked it.
"Third Young Master, why are you here?" Outside King Qin's study, Zhao Gao looked surprised. He did not expect that Ying Gao actually came to Xianyang from Sanchuan County.
"I have something important to report to my father. Can my father be in the study?" Ying Gao glanced at Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice.
Ying Gao was right, rumors were spreading, and coupled with the severe drought in ancient times, this was indeed an important matter for the Qin Empire. At this time, only the king of Qin could make a bold decision.
Looking up at Ying Gao, Zhao Gao knew clearly that among the entire Da Qin governors, only the Sanchuan County governor could come to Xianyang without going through an imperial edict.
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Zhao Gao nodded to Ying Gao and said: "The king is in the study, the third young master can enter on his own."
"Um."
With a slight nod, Ying Gao opened the door and walked into the study: "My son, Ying Gao, pays homage to my father. My father will be king for ten thousand years, and the Great Qin will be for ten thousand years——!"
