Chapter 27 Disaster Relief?endless debate

Dian Wei took Ah Da and several servants and began to fetch grain from the granary.

First take out the grain in the granary in the shade.

After all, these things are already very wet.

Even if there is no famine, it must be taken out to dry quickly.

Qin Mu looked at Dian Wei who was wielding a wooden shovel vigorously, and couldn't help covering his face.

This is Dian Wei!

The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms period!
Without even holding a weapon, he can guard the camp gate alone to stop the characters of Zhang Xiu's army!
Even after he died from exhaustion, Zhang Xiujun did not dare to pass by him for several hours.

This general, who might be the enemy of Xiang Yu, is brandishing a wooden shovel at the moment, no different from a farmer.

"This is really a violent thing!"

"But it doesn't matter. After this locust plague, Daqin will not have a good day for a few days."

"When the time comes, it's time for you to really use your hands and feet!"

Qin Mu felt a sense of guilt.

Let a fierce general like Dian Wei do this, I am afraid that Cao Cao will vomit blood angrily if he finds out.

But who made Daqin so stable that he didn't even fight a battle?
Looks like it's time for me to talk to my dad.

He has a lot of energy in the court, if he moves his hands and feet...

Maybe Daqin will collapse earlier than in history!
When the time comes, won't his chance come?
After all, which novel lover has never thought about the part where he would set off storms and become emperor after crossing?
I just thought of my father's reaction when I told him about the rebellion before.

Qin Mu sighed again.

It seems that strong medicine is needed!
Feudal loyalty to the king kills people!kill people!
Inside the palace hall.

Everyone's minds have shifted from the imperial examination system to the locust plague.

After all, the imperial examination system is a long-term plan.

After it is actually implemented, it will take an extremely long period whether it is to dig out talents or eliminate nobles.

As for the locust plague, if one trouble is not good, it will arouse civil uprisings!

The ministers are not stupid, although most aristocrats usually regard the common people as inferior people.

But they also know that the army of Daqin is not based on these common people?

What is the reason why Daqin's infantry is the best in the world?
Is it their noble example to do well?

No!

It is the perseverance of the old Qin people, and the patriotism hidden in the bottom of my heart!

Coupled with the military merit system proposed by Shang Yang's reform!
Great Qin ruled the world, without war, the military merit system is in an embarrassing situation.

If these people are extremely hungry and rebel, patriotism will be gone.

At that time, a group of tenacious rebels...

It's not something that can be calmed down for a while!

In addition, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are staring at each other...

Everyone realized how dangerous the situation they were facing!

Zulong sat on the dragon chair.

He has decided that the implementation of the imperial examination system will be discussed later.

Right now, the entire court should be united to solve the problem of locust plague.

"My dear friends, do you have a good plan for this locust plague?"

After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Li Si came out.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the famine will inevitably follow the plague of locusts, and we should open warehouses to distribute grain!"

Zu Long pondered for a moment, but did not express his opinion.

The internal history of treating millet is listed.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the Great Qin had abundant harvests year after year, and when the locust plague first broke out, the common people still had surplus food in their homes, so it is too early to open warehouses to release food."

As soon as Zhi Su Neishi finished speaking, someone stood up to oppose it.

"The common people have surplus food? I'm afraid Mr. Zhisu Neishi has forgotten how high the agricultural tax you set every year!"

"Your Majesty, although Daqin has a good harvest, the agricultural tax is too high, and the people can barely eat enough. There is no surplus food to survive the famine!"

"That's right! Zhi Su Neishi is in his position and doesn't know what happened, please His Majesty dismiss him and investigate him!"

There is also no lack of supporters for the internal history of millet.

"Although the agricultural tax is high, it is formulated according to the actual situation! What's more, the national treasury has been spending a lot in recent years. If the tax is not collected, where will the money come from?"

"That's right, Meng Tian's 30 troops are outside the Great Wall, people eat horses, and the daily cost is huge!"

"The Great Wall and Lishan have more than one million workers, and their daily rations are also consumed. The national stockpile is running out!"

Zu Long watched the dispute between the officials of the two factions, and couldn't make a decision in his heart.

As Li Si said, Zu Long naturally knew.

The people of Great Qin are considered the most tenacious and reliable among the six kingdoms.

But such a character, once rebellious, is also the most difficult to appease.

Besides, all the people in the world are Zulong's people, how could he have the heart to let the people go hungry?
These people have dedicated hundreds of years with the six kings of the Great Qin Dynasty, and finally unified, how could they starve to death?
But the discourse of Zhisu Neishi is also the actual situation.

Since the unification of Daqin, it has been building the Great Wall and the Lishan Mausoleum.

For these two projects alone, the number of workers has been maintained at more than one million.

The laborers in these places have worked hard, so the rations must not be less.

One stone of grain a month is already the minimum standard.

If it goes any lower, I'm afraid the laborers won't be able to lift the stone.

The monthly food consumption alone exceeds one million stones!

What's more, there are various armies of Daqin.

Meng Tian is stationed outside the Great Wall, and the necessary supplies will be delivered from the interior by civilians.

These folks also have to eat!
Delivering ten shi of grain, the peasants will consume one shi.

Plus the salaries of Daqin officials.

If it is consumed like this, it will be stretched out even in a good year.

There is not much grain in the national stockpile. If the grain is released too early, the national treasury will be empty before the famine passes.

What exactly?
Seeing that Zu Long fell into worry, Han Qing suddenly stood up.

Ever since Zu Long apologized to Fei Er at Fei Er's house that day, Han Qing's temperament has undergone a huge change.

If Han Qing used to be a greasy ball, now he is a sharp knife.

Today, he is not afraid of anyone, and only proceeds from the interests of Daqin.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"What's Han Qing's plan?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to solve the famine. But I know that one person may be able to solve it."

Zu Long's eyes lit up, he knew who Han Qing was talking about, Qin Mu!

Other ministers also echoed.

The existence of the mysterious person has long spread throughout the Great Qin Dynasty Hall.

Although the specific identity of the mysterious man is unknown, everyone knows that the mysterious man is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

Even Xu Fu was beheaded by Zulong because of the mysterious man.

However, Zulong fell into deep thought again.

No matter how miraculous Qin Mu was before, he was only a six-year-old child after all.

Can a child really handle this famine?
What's more, Zulong also knew Qin Mu's previous methods to deal with the famine.

It just cost tens of thousands of taels of gold to save food in advance.

Nor can he conjure food out of thin air.

Besides, had the boy ever seen a famine?
He may not even know what famine is, so how can he talk about solving it?
Zu Long's hopeful eyes dimmed again.

Even if Qin Mu is a descendant of the gods, the famine sweeping the world is really not a problem that one or two gods can solve.
