Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 24 Taking Back the Land of Hexi
Hu Weisha glanced angrily at Fusu who was walking towards him, then lowered his head and wiped the blood on the saber by himself.At this time, Hu Weisejia was full of resentment towards Fusu.I sent out [-] water sacs and ceded the land thousands of miles west of the river, and this was the result.Most of the [-] troops guarding Shichi were killed or injured, and thousands of Yuezhi people died tragically under the sword of the Huns.How could all this make Hu Weisejia not resent Fusu?
"Now you are satisfied!" Hu Weisha said angrily to Fusu who was standing in front of her.

"King Yuezhi, how can you blame me for this matter, you told me that your Yuezhi has no confidence to fight the Xiongnu anymore, I agree, didn't your Yuezhi send a single soldier to attack and kill the Huns camp this time? You said that your Yue clan can only provide me with food and grass for about ten days, and I sent troops to attack the Huns camp on the ninth day. Is this also according to your request? Touman Shanyu is no match for our army of tigers And killing your camp, this is not something I can control? How many years have you been fighting on the grassland, but the fighting power is not as good as my Great Qin Tiger Army, which has been in the army for less than a year. How should I say this? I have become a soft persimmon in Touman's eyes, and I still blame me, Da Qin Hu, for breaking the Huns' teeth. How can there be such a fallacy," Fu Su said confidently.

King Yueshi shook his head helplessly after hearing what Fusu said, obviously full of anger, but he could only suppress it.Who made himself unable to find a reason to refute at all.He also knew that Fusu deliberately caused all of this, but he couldn't say it when he came to him.Had no choice but to turn around and leave angrily, ignoring Fusu.

Seeing Hu Weisejia's angry and speechless appearance, Fusu suddenly felt extremely happy.After hearing Hu Weisejia's calculations in Zhaowu camp that day, Fusu made a plan to let the little old man drink a pot.After Hu Weisejia and his party left the Zhaowu Camp, Fusu, Han Xin and Peng Yue made careful plans, and finally came up with this sinister plan.In order to prevent the Xiongnu Tanqi from knowing the news that Meng Tian's army went south to Zhaowu, Fusu also specially gave Meng Tian the idea of ​​hunting the Xiongnu Tanqi.

The next day, Fusu arranged for Han Xin to go to Hu Weisejia to ask for the previously agreed land of thousands of miles in the west of Hexi.Hu Weisejia reluctantly agreed to Han Xin's request, and under Han Xin's persecution, agreed on the boundary and land area of ​​the land of thousands of miles.So far, the land of thousands of miles west of Hexi has been completely incorporated under the rule of Daqin.

Five days later, under Fusu's instructions, Meng Tian rushed back to Gaoque night and night, and then led the army across the Great Wall defense line, regaining the large area of ​​land previously occupied by Touman Shanyu, and all the land south of the Yinshan Mountains. Income into the territory of Daqin.The battle of Zhaowu completely solved the problem of the Xiongnu that plagued generations of Qin Dynasty, and truly realized the century-old wish of the Qin people not to let Huma go to the Yinshan Mountains.

Half a month after the end of the Zhaowu War, Fusu returned to Xianyang with his troops.After consultation with the court, it was decided to set up four new counties, Qinwei, Zhangye, Suzhou, and Dunhuang, in the land of Hexi.In addition to Jiuyuan County, Yanbei County was added.

When the people of Daqin were still immersed in the joy of reclaiming a large area of ​​land, a rare locust plague swept across Daqin, resulting in the loss of grains that were about to be harvested in autumn.For a time, there were refugees from all over the Qin Dynasty, and even Xianyang, the capital of the country, flooded with 10,000+ refugees.

On the day of the court meeting, Li Si summarized the disaster situation in various places and reported to Fusu.

"My lord, the current locust plague has affected 300 million people in Daqin, and all the official warehouses in various places have been sold out. The price of food on the market has tripled. According to reports from the county government, there have been more than ten locusts. The food store was robbed by the refugees, and these refugees gathered everywhere, resulting in many thefts and robberies. Many refugees even went up to the mountains to become bandits and started to rob houses. Among them, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the most Evil, these two thieves were originally in Yangcheng and Yangxia under the rule of Liu Ji, somehow they got connected together, they took advantage of the catastrophe and fled to our Sanchuan County, entangled a group of refugees and fled to Qingyao Mountain to make trouble.  … ..."

After Fusu heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were making trouble, he was stunned for a moment.Fusu thought that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising against Qin had disappeared in history because of his time travel, but he never thought that these two would re-emerge on the stage of history in this way.Apparently, these two people have long had the intention of treason, but they have been waiting for the opportunity.Whether it is based on the pretext of "failure, the law will be executed" recorded in Xu Yun's "Historical Records" before crossing, or taking advantage of the locust plague to create chaos, this is nothing more than an excuse for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to rebel.How can a master who dares to say such a bold statement as "a prince and a general have a kindness" lack the courage to rebel!What they lack is just a chance to rebel, okay? .

Fusu glanced at the civil and military officials below, and pulled his thoughts back from the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.At present, millions of people are affected by the disaster, and more than 10,000+ refugees are living in Xianyang city.The most urgent task is to solve the problem of feeding so many people.

"Prime Minister, I wonder how much food I still have in Taicang in Guanzhong and Aocang in Xingyang?"

"My lord, there are still 500 million shi of grain left in Taicang, Guanzhong, and 800 million shi of grain in Ao Cang, Xingyang." Li Si reported the approximate amount of grain stored in the two major official warehouses of Daqin.

"First transfer 500 million shi of grain from Taicang to relieve the disaster victims in Guanzhong, and then transfer 400 million shi of grain from Ao Cang to supplement the official warehouses in various places, so as to fill the stomachs of the victims first." Fusu said with firm eyes.

"Young master, isn't it a little too much? Besides, this year is a year of disaster. There must be no hope of paying taxes. What will be used to fill such a big hole at the end of the year?"

"Let these victims get through the difficulties first, and then we can take the rest of the matter one step at a time. You can't just watch the victims starve to death," Fusu said helplessly.

Facing such a tight financial situation, Fusu didn't know how to deal with it.Millions of disaster victims need to eat, the salaries of the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty need to be distributed, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting to be allocated food, grass and military equipment.In the final analysis, all of this is still linked to two things, that is, money and food.

After a lot of meditation, Fusu thought of the most effective way.
