Chapter 109 Qinchuan, who had good weather and good weather, encountered a great drought
"My son, I pay homage to my father. My father will live forever, and the Qin Dynasty will live forever!" Ying Gao bowed solemnly to the King of Qin, his expression respectful and firm.
Qin Wangzheng raised his head from his desk. His face was a little ugly. He had dark circles under his eyes from the hard work in the past few days, and his eyes were also covered with bloodshot eyes.
It was obvious that the severe drought had caused this energetic young king to feel tremendous pressure like a giant mountain pressing down on his head.
A severe drought broke out in the first summer after taking office. As an unparalleled emperor, Qin Wangzheng naturally had a keen political sense and knew what kind of terrifying impact it would have on public opinion.
Even Great Qin will be in turmoil...
…
"Gao, how is the situation in Sanchuan County?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao hurriedly said: "Father, the situation in Sanchuan County is not bad. Due to sufficient water wells, it can currently cope with this severe drought."
"It's just that hungry people from the three Jin Dynasties came rushing to the Qin Dynasty. I followed the policy of the Qin Dynasty since ancient times. All the refugees who entered the Qin Dynasty were governed by the Qin law, but there were no mistakes."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng frowned. Regarding what Ying Gao said, he naturally understood that during the Warring States Period, whether it was fighting for national power or fighting for large armies, there was a huge demand for population.
So much so that during the reign of Duke Xiao, a policy was formulated to attract refugees and people from the Three Jin Dynasties to Qin.
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Qin Wangzheng took a deep look at Ying Gao. He knew in his heart that since Ying Gao came in person, it meant that this matter was not a small matter.
"Tell me in detail, what happened that actually made you ignore Sanchuan County, enter Xianyang yourself, and even use the Golden Arrow!"
Qin Wangzheng's eyes were blazing. Too many things had happened in Great Qin at this moment, which made him feel a huge panic in his heart.
He knew in his heart that nothing would happen again in Sanchuan County. The severe drought alone was enough to give the Qin court a headache.
Hearing this, Ying Gao smiled helplessly and said to Qin Wangzheng: "Father, hungry people from the three Jin Dynasties poured into Sanchuan County like a tide. A frightening astrological prophecy spread with the tide of hungry people."
"The prophecy says: This year's comet will appear in the west in the spring, in the north in the summer, and for eighty days from the south of the battle, the king of Qin will act in reverse, causing punishment from heaven and causing a severe drought in the world."
"The astrologer predicts: There will be a great famine in Qin, the dead will not be accounted for, and the country will fall into chaos!"
"My son has contacted Heibingtai in Sanchuan County to kill those who spread rumors without mercy, and also ordered the news to be blocked. However, I am afraid that this news cannot be blocked..."
"Snapped!"
With a palm strike on the long case, Qin Wangzheng's face became extremely ugly: "Do the Yin and Yang family really think that they are alone and dare not kill people? Dare to say that our great Qin will perish!"
At this moment, although Qin Wangzheng was angry, he felt a little guilty when facing Ying Gao.
After all, Ying Gao mentioned the news of the severe drought to him, but he believed Feng Chang's words and did not take it to heart.
"Gao, now that the hungry people are not pouring in from the three Jin areas, plus the hungry people in Guanzhong, I'm afraid the imperial court will be unable to bear the burden!"
Nowadays, even a talented and strategist like Qin Wangzheng is somewhat powerless. After all, a penny cannot be said to be a hero. At this moment, Qin Wangzheng cannot produce food.
"Why!"
With a long sigh, Ying Gao looked at Qin Wangzheng with bright eyes and said: "Father, I once ordered Jing Yu to use the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce to purchase and hoard grain from the six countries in Shandong."
"Now Sanchuan County is self-sufficient and does not need any funding from the court at the moment..."
…
After taking a deep look at his foresighted son, Qin Wangzheng was silent for a moment and said: "How can you resolve this matter by just dealing with it at this moment?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao looked stunned. He knew in his heart that this was the end of the Warring States Period, not modern times. Once something like a drought happened, it was almost impossible to change it.
Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Ying Gao knew that all Da Qin could do at this moment was to constantly make amends: "My son thought that he should immediately summon Datian Ling, Taicang Ling, Da Nei Ling, Shao Nei Ling, Bang Sikong, Terracotta Officials, and Guanshi
Wait for the Seventh Department to discuss."
"Then, with the intervention of the imperial court, the power of the people alone is not enough to change this situation!"
Having said this, Ying Gao's eyes flashed, he bowed solemnly to Qin Wangzheng, and said: "Father, now a severe drought is sweeping the world, and war will not break out in the Central Plains in a short time."
"I thought it would be a good idea to mobilize the army from the Lantian camp to participate in this disaster relief. Our great Qin warriors are brave and strong, and can carry out orders and prohibitions. The effect is far greater than the corvee conscription."
"And in doing so, it can also bring the relationship between the elites of Great Qin and the people of Great Qin closer."
"boom……"
Ying Gao's words were so shocking that at this moment, even Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a while and did not say anything for a long time.
"Gao, the great Qin warriors in the Lantian camp are the foundation of our great Qin, they must not be touched lightly!" After a moment of silence, Qin Wangzheng shook his head and said.
"Father, the existence of the great Qin warriors is to protect the family and the country. Killing the enemy on the battlefield is to protect the family and the country. Relieving disasters is also to protect the family and the country."
Ying Gao had bright eyes and was extremely spirited. He knew in his heart that there was an army in history that protected his family and country. Wherever there was danger or difficulty, he would be the first to attack.
Only under the red flag can that army be worthy of the people's soldiers.
"Father, the warriors of the Qin Dynasty are all our Qin people. What is suffering now is the land they defend. The people of the country who are suffering now are their parents, wives and children, and they are their parents who provide food and clothing."
Ying Gao's voice suddenly became louder and his expression was solemn: "At this time, how can the Great Qin warriors stand by and watch? What's more, the Great Qin warriors have always been the representatives of King Qin's will."
"The dispatch of Lantian Camp is to announce to the entire Qin Dynasty how firm my father's will is on this matter, which can enhance the confidence of the people of the country."
"It is conducive to stabilizing the people of the country and preventing the Qin Dynasty from panicking. Moreover, it is the right thing for the elites of the Qin Dynasty to help the people of the country."
"Only by doing this, when the war breaks out, the Chinese people will naturally choose to fight, and they can further cultivate their patriotism."
…
Dangdang said a lot, Qin Wangzheng's eyes were deep, and the light in his eyes flickered. Ying Gao didn't know if he understood, and he didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Is this the national cohesion you have based on your traditional Chinese studies?" After a while, Qin Wangzheng asked something that had nothing to do with drought relief.
Hearing this, Ying Gao glanced at Qin Wangzheng in surprise, nodded, and said: "It is exactly what the father said. Originally, I planned to wait until Qin unified the world before taking it out."
"However, with my father's brilliance and martial prowess, and with the current power of our Great Qin, if we take it out in advance, there won't be too many changes."
