Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 72 Chapter 72, Countermeasures

"Perhaps, we can send troops to attack the city, seize the granary in the city, and exchange the city with the king of the country for a large amount of food. If it is possible, we will not die so many people and preserve the national strength. If not, We continued to attack the city until we grabbed enough food.

But again, we captured the city and transported the food back to Qin, so the local people had no food.So I think it's better to return those cities and use them in exchange for food, otherwise the people will starve to death. "

Yao Xing thought for a while and then spoke. At the same time, he was asking Lu Buwei for his opinion. After all, Zhao Zheng had never been in charge, and most of the government affairs were in his hands.If he and Zhao Zheng have the same ideas, it means that the monarch and his ministers are of one mind. If they have different ideas, it is usually him who finds a way to persuade Zhao Zheng.If Lu Buwei firmly opposes it, even if Yao Xing persuades Zhao Zheng, it will probably not happen.

Lu Buwei paced with his hands behind his back. After a few breaths, he sighed and said, "Since you insist on doing this, go ahead and tell the king what you want!"

Yao Xing couldn't see his expression, but he had an intuition in his heart that Lu Buwei would not compromise so easily and might have other plans.

For a moment, the leader of Yao Xing didn't know how to guess: "I wonder if the Prime Minister has any high opinions, so Yao Xing can convey it to the king."

"Your intelligence and wisdom are enough to help Great Qin survive this disaster. I trust you." Lu Buwei waved his hands away from the shopkeeper and walked away slowly without caring about the matter.

Yao Xing looked at his back and tore off the veil angrily. It was just a bad harvest this year, but he can still be so leisurely. Let's see if he is in a hurry after the locust plague next year!
After stamping her feet, Yao Xing had no choice but to go see Zhao Zheng.Now he should be worrying alone in the study!
Sure enough, Zhao Zheng was sitting alone in front of his desk in a daze. The bamboo sketch on the desk was about this year's food harvest failure.

Yao Xing stepped forward and put away the bamboo slips, and said softly: "It is not uncommon for Great Qin to encounter disasters. Didn't they get through it safely every time?"

"But every time, the people suffered countless casualties, and it would take two or three years for Da Qin to return to normal." Zhao Zheng's tone was dull, which showed his heartache.

Yao Xing felt a little distressed, walked behind Zhao Zheng, put her arms around his neck and hugged him gently.

"Now, you have to figure out how to let the people survive this famine safely, instead of being immersed in sorrow when you, the king, need to make decisions."

Zhao Zheng turned to Yao Xing and said: "Qin has been fighting for years, and all the grain in the granary has been transported to the battlefield. Now the granary is empty and there is no food for disaster relief."

"Now the Qin State cannot avoid being tricked by other countries, and the food failure cannot be concealed. It will be difficult for Liao Bo's caravan to transport food back."

This is a way, even if it is difficult, try it.Although the famine in the Qin State is now, it is not serious, and it is only obvious that the countries are adding insult to injury. Even if you buy food at a high price, as long as you can buy it, it is good.

Otherwise next year's locust plague will cause Qin to be even more short of food, and I'm afraid other countries will join together to make matters worse.At that time, even if troops are sent to attack the city, they may not be able to grab much food. After all, Qin is warlike and is known to all countries.

"I will leave the palace in a while and let Master's caravan think of a way, even if it costs a lot of money. Or pretend to be a caravan from another country to buy food. As long as you leave the country, you won't be afraid of not being able to transport it back." Yao Xing comforted. arrive.
