Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 28 Zulong Regrets, Asks Qin Mu for Help

While Zu Long was thinking about it, he didn't know who mentioned the issue of Zhisu's internal history.

So many officials were divided into three factions.

One faction supports Zulong to directly take down Zhisu Neishi and thoroughly investigate the state treasury revenue and expenditure.

One faction supported Zhi Su Nei Shi's speech, believing that the other party was divorced from the actual situation and practice.

In the last row, the two don't help each other, and they just move a small bench to sit on the side and eat melons crazily.

Of course, this does not involve party disputes. Whether you support or oppose or eat melons, you come based on your own true thoughts.

Playing faction attack at this time, the only end is being watched by Zulong and hanging outside the city gate of Xianyang to dry it into jerky.

Therefore, even Zhao Gao, who has always been at odds with Zhi Su Nei Shi, wisely did not speak.

Looking at the noisy ministers, Zu Long knew that it was pointless to spend so much time.

"Okay! Li Si, as the prime minister, you will lead Jiuqing, and give me a solution within today!"

"Meng Yi, as the imperial censor, you will supervise the whole process and correct deviations in time. Retire!"

When Zu Long opened his mouth, the ministers who were arguing had to stop.

Only Li Si looked depressed.

But there is no way, he is the prime minister, so naturally he has to solve this kind of problem.

After retreating from court, Zu Long changed into casual clothes and slipped out quietly through the palace gate.

Arriving at Qin Mu's house, before entering the door, he heard Qin Mu's slightly childish shout.

"Ada, you spread it a bit thickly, no way! It must be spread thinner!"

"Dian Wei, slow down! Chi Ji was buried by you!"

"Over there! Watch the fire! Don't let the fire burn the food!"

Zu Long quickly walked a few steps and entered the door.

"What are you so busy with?"

Qin Mu smiled when he saw him.

"It's nothing, it's just that the food in the store is a bit damp, I'll let them dry it."

Zulong pointed to the burning area in the corner of the yard.

"What is this for? Set fire here, isn't it afraid of burning the food?"

Qin Mu said helplessly: .

"There's no way around this. The yard is a bit small, and the food can't be spread out. I'll ask them to burn a new place."

"Why use fire?"

"The ground is wet, and there are insects in the picture. Burning it once can not only get rid of moisture, but also kill insects and prevent food from being eaten by insects."

Zulong was a little surprised.

A six-year-old child actually knows so much about these farming tasks.

He looked at the grain in the whole yard again, and couldn't help but sighed.

Qin Mu had reminded him early on that he should stockpile food.

But instead of listening, he thought Qin Mu was joking.

If he had listened to Qin Mu's words and asked Zhi Su Nei Shi to buy up grain...

Now facing the famine, wouldn't I have more confidence in my heart?

Why listen to Zhi Suuchi and the others arguing in the court for a long time?
Thinking of the last time he said that Qin Mu "loses a lot, he makes a profit", Zu Long blushed.

"Father, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what's the matter this time?"

Zu Long said seriously: "Do you still remember that you told me that Daqin was about to suffer a famine?"

Qin Mu's heart moved: "Of course I remember, what, the famine is coming?"

"That's right, and this famine is caused by locust plagues, and it's threatening."

Zulong sighed and said: .

"According to the agricultural inspection report, the locust plague is very large-scale, and several counties in Daqin have been affected, and it will soon reach Xianyang."

Qin Mu thought for a while, the locust plague is really not easy to solve.

This time period is the last period before the crop matures.

Harvesting directly is definitely not enough, millet and wheat are still seedlings.

If you don't collect them, there will be food for locusts everywhere, and the plague of locusts will become bigger and bigger.

In particular, he guessed that Daqin's treasury didn't have much grain left.

You must know that although Daqin is unified, the number of troops is still huge.

These troops effectively prevented the remnants of the Six Nations from resurging.

But the consumption of a large amount of grain and grass has never stopped.

Also, there are still millions of laborers who are building the Great Wall and the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum at this time.

Even if the construction is suspended, the food consumption of the workers will be halved at most.

I'm afraid there will be a mutiny if there are more.

Also, pausing is impossible.

Most of these workers are remnants of the Six Nations.

When there is no work to do, they will find work for themselves.

And the job they are looking for can only be rebellion.

Most historians of later generations have a critical attitude towards the Great Wall and the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum.

However, from the perspective of Qin Shihuang, how can these remnants of the six kingdoms be settled?

Apart from making them too tired to rebel, there seems to be no good way.

Zu Long watched Qin Mu sink into deep thought, and couldn't help asking: .

"Mu'er, what can you do?"

Qin Mu pouted immediately.

"Father, I have a solution. Didn't I tell you?"

"Tell me? When... did you mean grain storage?"

"Of course! I told you specifically, who told you not to listen to me."

Zulong sighed.

Indeed, if the food was stockpiled in advance, the famine would be nothing at all.

"Look at it, look at it, it's called not listening to your son, and you're suffering in front of your eyes."

"How do you say that?"

"Before you paid no attention to food, but now you can't afford food."

Zulong's face turned red.

No one can remain indifferent to being criticized by a six-year-old child.

What's more, several times before have proved that this kid is often right.

"Now there is a solution..."

Zulong's face changed: "What way?"

Qin Mu rolled his eyes: "I'll make less money. Just save your ration."

"It's a pity, these grains can be sold for at least ten taels of gold."

Zulong looked a little disappointed.

"What's the use if I'm full alone!"

"All right, all right, I know you have a high status, and you have a lot of servants at home. Tell me, how much food do you want?"

Qin Mu was not stingy.

After all, this food was exchanged for 1 taels of gold from the cheap father.

Using the words of the previous life, the father is an investor, and he should share some profits.

Zulong still shook his head.

"Mu'er, what I want is not a policy to protect one person and a family, but a policy to preserve the world!"

"what?"

Qin Mu was a little shocked.

"No way, Dad, this kind of thing, you give Shi Huangdi and Li Si a headache, what does it have to do with you?"

Zulong froze for a moment, and then said seriously: "Mu'er, the people in this world are suffering enough to live."

"Don't you have the heart to see these locusts roaming around, starving and dying everywhere, and people eat each other?"

"This……"

Zu Long looked at Qin Mu without saying a word for a long time, and said in frustration: .

"Forget it, what can you do as a child for such a big matter?"

"It's my fault. I always want to put such a heavy burden on your shoulders."

"You're right. This matter should be left to Emperor Shihuang and Li Si. You shouldn't be burdened with it."

Qin Mu looked at the back of Zulong who turned around, full of loneliness.

He was a little distressed, but also a little angry.

Qi Zulong treats him like a child every time.

"Who says it can't be done! I have a way!!"
