Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 71, the widow is destiny

The entire bank of the Wei River became a place of war between humans and locusts. The entire bank of the Wei River was covered in pitch darkness, dark clouds enveloped it at some point, and thunder and lightning kept ringing.

"Buzz~"

There was a huge thunder, the wind swayed, and the rain fell. Ying Zheng pointed at the sky with a long sword in his hand and shouted

"The destiny is in Qin, and the widow is the destiny!!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Ying Zheng, who was pointing his sword at the sky, and shouted with their chests hanging down.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

With the sound of thunder, the locusts in the air fell to the ground and stopped moving after a few struggles. Everyone who watched this scene shouted at Ying Zheng on the high platform
"Great King Wannian, Great Qin Wannian!!"

The people looked at the locusts on the ground, and their fear of locusts no longer existed in their hearts, thinking that they were just ordinary insects. Some people saw the moving locusts on the ground and trampled to death.

"Qin is invincible, Qin is invincible!" Among the special envoys of the Six Nations, the special envoy of South Korea looked at this scene with bloodshot eyes from time to time. He is Confucian, and he studied under Gongyang. There is a characteristic that he especially likes the spectacle Furui, that is, miracles. This scene is no less than a dimensionality reduction blow to him.

The two queen mothers who came to watch at the same time, Zhao Ji and Huayang Queen Mother, were also full of astonishment. They did not expect Ying Zheng to actually defeat the locust. Soon the expressions on the faces of the two changed into two different situations. At the same time, there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Yingzheng's actions undoubtedly won the hearts of the people of the entire Qin State, and the court military also fell to Yingzheng, which meant that Yingzheng began to gradually withdraw his power, and As the queen mother, he has to give up some of the power in his hands, so he is both happy and worried.

Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes were full of helplessness

Lu Buwei looked at the locusts falling in the sky, and glanced at Ziyou, while Ziyou watched the scene calmly, watching the locusts dissipate, Duke Mo led the army to the high platform, Duke Gong dismounted and faced Ying Zheng saluted and said
"My lord, the locusts have retreated, and I, the Great Qin, have won!"

"The widows know that the titles of those who participated in this battle have been promoted three times in a row!" Ying Zheng put away his long sword and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three thousand iron eagle warriors and the five thousand imperial guards saluted Ying Zheng.

"This is what you deserve. You helped us drive out the locust plague and saved the people of Qin. The people of Qin don't have to fear the natural disaster of locusts. You are the people of Qin and will always be protected by us!" Ying Zheng shouted .

The people raised their arms and shouted when they heard Ying Zheng's words

"Thousands of years, king!!"

Ziyou looked at this scene with a satisfied smile on his face. If he wants to break the superstition of ghosts and gods in the hearts of the people, he must tell them that ghosts and gods can be defeated. Ziyou does not object to the worship of ghosts and gods, because it is inevitable. But some superstitions and obscenity must be broken.

At the same time, a hidden place by the Weihe River.

The quack warlock who played tricks in the scorpion back then was relieved to see the end of the war against heaven, and Zhao Gao stood behind him with a calm expression on his face.

"My lord, my mission has been completed. Mr. Ziyou promised me that he will let me go as soon as I finish." The quack warlock said to Zhao Gao.

"Of course, sir asked me to give it to you. It's considered travel expenses." Zhao Gao said, throwing a package to the charlatan.

"Thank you, my lord. Mr. Ziyou is really a scholar of the country." The quack warlock caught the package and saw the gold inside and laughed.

"Let's go, if you don't go, you will be too late." Zhao Gao said.

"Thank you, my lord, hehe, thank you, my lord." The quack warlock praised Zhao Gao, then picked up his things on the ground and turned his head to leave.

"Whoosh~"

The sound of sharp blades piercing through the air resounded, the quack warlock narrowed his eyes, and looked at his chest. A long arrow made of bronze pierced his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in the air. Say something, but before you can say it, you collapse.

"Mister gave you a chance to live, but why do you have to talk so much nonsense?" Zhao Gao showed a cruel smile on his soft face, took out a fire pocket from his cuff and blew it lightly, threw it at the corpse and left .

Looking at the burning fire, Zhao Gao's eyes burst into light. This fire was the beginning of his official career.

After the battle between Qin and the locusts on the Weihe River ended, Yingzheng led the army to repel the locusts, which undoubtedly dispelled the fear of locusts in the hearts of the people of Qin. What else do they have to be afraid of? Their king will lead the Daqin army to protect them. The locust temple that was built a while ago was completely destroyed by the people. After the locust temple was demolished, the people rushed to the field with their tools. Start removing locusts.

Soon after autumn came, the locust plague in Qin State had been contained, and the locusts in the fields gradually disappeared. With the relief of the court, the people did not have to worry about starving to death, but the court of Qin State was not happy about it, because the more serious one The problem has arisen, that is, the rebuilding after the disaster, the Qin State cannot provide so much food to feed these people.

The court of Qin State was discussing this matter, and Ziyou saw the ministers who were discussing a lot but still could not come up with a conclusion, stood up and said

"My lord, Ziyou has a plan to solve the urgent need." Ziyou said.

"Tell me quickly, sir." Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou and said.

"This strategy is to use work for relief. The court will issue tasks, such as building canals, roads, weaving, etc. to recruit people, and let the people work in exchange for food until next summer. It will not only save the people, but also grow stronger. Qin's national strength, why not do it." Ziyou said.

Lu Buwei stopped holding his hand, thinking about the method Ziyou said, he felt that it was very feasible. This method can not only appease the work after the disaster, but also promote the progress of some large-scale constructions in Qin State. Generally, every country needs to collect labor for anything it wants to build, but labor cannot be collected too much at one time, which leads to a lot of extension of the construction period.

"I feel that Mr. Ziyou's strategy can be adopted. Zheng Guoqu's hard labor is about to end, and the roads in various places will also be renovated. This will kill two birds with one stone." Lu Buwei stood up and said.

"My minister seconded the proposal! Last month in Shu, the grain transportation road between Shu and Xianyang was washed away by heavy rain, and it is in need of urgent repairs." Zhi Su Nei Shi stood up and said.

Many more ministers stood up and spoke out about the projects that were in need of manpower. Ying Zheng listened to these projects and began to ponder.

"My lord, in addition to considering the urgency of these projects, they also need to be coordinated and arranged by people, food during the construction period, etc." Lu Buwei said, telling all aspects of these projects.

"Then who should be in charge?" Ying Zheng asked.

Lu Buwei and the minister were also lost in thought for a while, such a calculation is not easily satisfied by anyone.

"I have someone to recommend." Ziyou looked at the ministers and said.

"who?"

"My senior brother, Zhang Cang, is good at planning. He arranged the disaster relief food before, so it's okay to leave it to him," Ziyou said.

At this time, Zhang Cang, who was located in the other courtyard, was lying on a recliner. The table in front of him was full of fresh fruits, food, and wine. Two mature women were rubbing his legs, and the dancers in the palace were dancing. Zhang Cang suddenly After sneezing, she stood up suddenly, and the woman who was in charge of rubbing her legs knelt on the ground, thinking that they had angered Zhang Cang.

"Why do I sneeze? Someone must be plotting against me, and Qin can't stay anymore." Zhang Cang whispered to himself, he had a premonition that if he didn't run away, he wouldn't be able to run away. He glanced at the people in the room. Although Mei Ji was very reluctant, he could only reluctantly bid farewell.
