Lu Zhu stood aside coldly like a guard.

After a period of development, they are no longer as shabby as they used to be. Standing at the door are guards with stern expressions and capable movements. They are very skilled at first glance.

At this time, apart from them, many bereaved families from the six countries gathered together one after another.

In addition to Ji Liang, who was born in Korea, there was also a plump and intelligent young woman with jet-black hair pulled up high, and a silver hairpin cloth skirt that outlined her curvy figure.

It is Xiang Bo who represents Jiangdong forces.

On Ji Liang's fair and pretty face, there was a hint of doubt: "Didn't General Xiang come?"

Xiang Bo put down the wine cup with his white hands, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "Yu'er is not interested in things other than marching and fighting, so she doesn't want to come."

Ji Liang was not surprised, and smiled: "You really have the same temper as before."

After pondering for a long time, Uncle Xiang asked, "Mr. Ji Liang, are you really sure to shake the foundation of Xianyang?"

Originally, according to the last plan, they wanted to take advantage of Daxia's army's northern expedition to the Huns, and they spread rumors to disrupt the world, so as to take the opportunity to separate one side and plunge Daxia into a two-front battle situation.

But I didn't expect that the Great Xia Northern Expedition against the Huns went so smoothly. Before their layout started, the Xia army had already returned victorious and was forced to suspend the plan.

After all, they are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and they are not at the same level when facing a political sister who has an army of millions.

Ji Liang nodded lightly, and said: "It's not the same now, don't look at the first emperor who has an army of one million, but actually 50 soldiers and horses are stationed in South Vietnam, and more than 30 troops are stationed in Liaodong, outside the Great Wall, and on his own grasslands. .”

"Facing the huge Central Plains, the first emperor didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands. They were like eggs, strong on the outside and weak on the inside..."

"And after several months of spreading rumors, although there is no real threat to Xianyang, it is ready for me to recruit troops."

"In addition, this torrential rain, which has not been seen in decades, has caused a large number of floods in various places, disrupted roads, and displaced people everywhere. This is a good opportunity for us to plan."

"We can take advantage of the situation to purchase and hoard a large amount of food. The local food is getting less and less, and the roads interrupt the food in other places, and it will not be transported in a short time."

"This is ineffective in disaster relief, and will only continue to cause dissatisfaction among the people of the six countries, and there will be more refugees."

"Once the refugees increase to a certain scale, it will be a matter of time before they turn into a riot. At that time, we will directly kill the officials of Daxia, take out the grain that has already been stockpiled and transport them to the warehouse, and start a riot in front of the refugees. store food."

"At the same time, I listed the brutality and inhumanity of Daxia. Although there is food, but the delay in opening the warehouse to release grain, coupled with the heavy corvee in Daxia on weekdays, all the dissatisfaction caused by the people emerged."

"At that time, we only need to raise our arms, raise the flag of righteousness, and crusade against Bao Xia, and we will surely gain a power in a short period of time, so that the woman in Xianyang City dare not underestimate it."

After Xiang Bo heard Ji Liang's plan, he couldn't help nodding his head frequently. The consideration of all aspects was too comprehensive, and his understanding of people's hearts was simply amazing.

After hesitating for a long time, she said, "But if we want to buy grain on a large scale, we need an unprecedented amount of money. I'm afraid we won't be able to spend so much money."

A smile appeared on Ji Liang's face: "You don't need to worry about that, we are already rich in the world, and it is not difficult to buy up all the grain in the surrounding area."

Uncle Xiang couldn't help but gasped: "I never imagined that Mr. Ji Liang is so good at doing business. I remember that when we met half a year ago, Mr. was still empty-sleeved. Now he is able to sit on a golden mountain, which is really admirable." No end."

Ji Liang shook his head slightly: "It's not a solution I came up with, but a gift from a great talent in the market."

Uncle Xiang was stunned: "Mr. Ji Liang actually knows such a strange person, so why not invite him over? With such a capable assistant to help us, we can be more confident."

A gloomy look appeared on Ji Liang's fair and pretty face: "If possible, I would also like to invite him to come with me, but unfortunately... I can't."

Uncle Xiang asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Because he was captured by that tyrant to protect me..."

As Ji Liang said, his white and slender jade hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes as gentle as water were also full of anger at this moment.

Relying on the cane sugar refining method given by Bai Su, she flourished in Vietnam, her business grew gradually, and her influence continued to expand.

I wanted to go to Handan and invite Bai Su to come with me, and give him a high-ranking official and generous salary, so as to fulfill the original promise.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Handan, what I saw was an empty house.

As well as the news that Bai Su was captured by the Imperial Forest Army in Xianyang and has not yet returned, and her life and death are unknown, this made her lose her mind for a long time.

It's all her fault! ! !

If Mr. Bai hadn't been there for shelter, how could she, the wanted criminal who assassinated the first emperor, be captured by that tyrant? She was the one who killed Mr. Bai! ! !

Every night when Ji Liang was sleeping, there would be a tragic scene in his dream. Bai Su was dressed in a prison uniform, locked in a dungeon with a pale face, and was brutally tortured by the lackeys of Bao Xia with a branding iron and a whip. .

She didn't know how many times she woke up from the dream.

Every time after waking up, I felt a twinge of pain in my heart, regretting why I didn't take Bai Su away with me, which caused him to fall into the hands of the tyrant and suffer such inhuman torture.

Looking at her like this, Uncle Xiang couldn't help comforting him: "Mr. Ji Liang, don't be so sad. Since the young man you mentioned is a genius, then with his intelligence, he will definitely find a way to survive. Let's do it as soon as possible." Take action, it’s better to invade Xianyang one day earlier and rescue him.”

Hearing what she said, Ji Liang's face turned slightly better.

With her dark eyes, she stared at the direction of Xianyang outside the window: "Young master, you have to be patient, Liang... will definitely try his best to gather a force that can overthrow Daxia, even if his body is smashed to pieces, he will also break into it!" Xianyang, get you out."

"Tyrant, you destroy my country, enslave my people, and take my husband into captivity. This feud is irreconcilable, and I will never end with you!!!"

Chapter 110: I'm going to see him in person

This heavy rain seems to be endless, the second day, the third day, the fourth day...

The same is true.

The torrential rain caused many embankments to flood, and the floods affected the villages and fertile fields in the surrounding area.

A large number of people became homeless refugees and began to move towards those counties that were not affected.

At the beginning, the local counties were still able to open warehouses for disaster relief, but as the situation intensified, there were more and more refugees, but less and less food, and the situation gradually became dangerous.

If you continue to open warehouses to release grain, I'm afraid it won't last long.

But if the food is not released, the hungry refugees may become rebellious.

All of a sudden, county magistrates from all over the country sent urgent reports to the imperial court for help, which were sent to Xianyang like snowflakes.

......

......

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Sister Zheng also looked tired at this time, she put the post in her hand on the table, looked down at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and discussed the management of the flood and the refugees.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the granaries in Yingchuan, Langya, and Qi counties can't last long."

"This torrential rain has not been seen in decades. The scale of the flood is too large. There are millions of refugees. The food consumed every day is an astronomical figure. If the imperial court does not want to dispatch food to help, at most ten One day, the local granary will be completely out of food."

"That turned into a massive riot."

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs came forward and reported.

Sister Zheng's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "The impact of this heavy rain is so serious. Quickly dispatch food from Guanzhong to go to the disaster relief."

Great Xia emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, and implements the farming war system for many years. Although the treasury is very poor and there is not much money available, there is no shortage of food.

Today's world only has a population of more than 2000 million, but it sits on such a vast territory, with Bashu, Guanzhong, Hetao, Song Dynasty, and many other large granaries with fertile land, plus Champa rice presented by Baisu.

Let Daxia still have plenty of food reserves and should be able to provide disaster relief.

At this time, the prime minister, Li Si, stood out from the crowd.

She shook her head slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work."

Sister Zheng frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Si cupped his hands and said: "These places are not as flat as the Northland. In many places, the waters are complicated and the mountain roads are rugged. Under the impact of the flood, many official roads have collapsed and buried, so we can only choose to take more winding trails."

"The trail is bumpy and the ground is muddy. We can't walk a few miles a day."

"It will take at least a month to transport the grain in Guanzhong to the front line, but many granaries in the area can't last for ten days, and the time is simply too late."

Sister Zheng frowned and said, "Then, in the name of the imperial court, is it feasible to collect food from the local people for disaster relief?"

Li Si shook his head: "Your Majesty, the local people don't have much food left, and the floods have caused the price of food to soar more than ten times."

"Let's not talk about it, can we spend so much money, even if we can, we can't buy it."

"The local merchants, the country gentry who are rooted in the villages and counties, and some people with ulterior motives, started hoarding grain and grass early, intending to take this opportunity to make a fortune, and now there is no grain to collect in the market. "

"The most hateful thing is..."

"There are also some survivors of the Six Kingdoms who took this opportunity to spread rumors that the torrential rain was God's punishment for the torrential summer. The imperial court clearly had food, but they did not open the warehouse to release the food. Stormy summer."

"Some local county magistrates are worried that people's hearts will change. They know that they won't last long, but they dare not stop at all. They can only drink poison to quench their thirst. One more day counts as one day."

"However, some county magistrates, in order to support the remaining food for a little longer, began to reduce the number of food distributions, and the porridge became thinner and thinner, and they were not full at all. As a result, the people became more and more dissatisfied. conflict."

"Now the situation has become more and more turbulent, and it has begun to spread towards the surrounding area."

As she spoke, she handed the key content selected from the reports from various places to the messengers on the side.

Sister Zheng received the report from the envoy, looked down, and suddenly looked gloomy.

Sure enough, as Li Si said, most of the Chu land was in chaos.

Among them is this one, the county magistrate of Pei County named Xiao He did a good job.

Seeing the continuous heavy rain and the risk of flooding, we bought food in advance, and at the same time called on the refugees to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, eat and live with the refugees in person every day, so as to stabilize the people's hearts and make them more stable.

However, this kind of sporadic light is not enough to change the situation when the surrounding area is in chaos.

"Hateful, the damn remnants of the Six Kingdoms actually chose this time to do something secretly. Where did they get so much money, and they were able to buy up all the food before the government?"

Sister Zheng slapped the desk hard with her white jade hand, her silver teeth were clenched, and her voice was full of hatred for the survivors of the Six Kingdoms.

"Hey, what's a good plan for you dear ones?"

After gritting her teeth for a while, she sighed helplessly, a little helpless.

After all, Daxia forcibly unified the six countries, and there was not much popular support in the local area. If it was for food, it would choose to kill the squires at this time and seize the food.

Those gentry and businessmen will stand beside the survivors of the Six Kingdoms without hesitation, and the situation that was already out of control will become even more chaotic and difficult to control.

So even if you want to settle accounts, you have to wait until the disaster relief is over and the situation in various places is stable before you take care of them.

Facing Miss Zheng's inquiry, the civil and military ministers below all fell silent.

The whole hall was dead silent, obviously there was no good plan.

The solution to the problem is very simple, but at the same time it is difficult to reach the sky. The only key is how to quickly transport the food to the disaster relief.

But the mountain road is rugged, the ground is muddy, the wheels of the carriage are slippery, and people can't walk a few miles a day with the food on their backs. How can the food be transported.

You can't put wings on the grain truck and let the grain fly by itself.

Li Si, Meng Yi and the others frowned and thought hard, trying hard to come up with a good plan.

but……

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't think of a way.

Sister Zheng slowly clenched her white jade hands, and her beautiful willow eyebrows frowned: "Could it be that we can only watch helplessly as the situation deteriorates day by day, and the rebels return, and there will be another battle between Xia and Chu?"

When she thought of the slogan that although Chu has three households, Chu must die in Xia, her expression became serious.

After all, Daxia's military strength is now mainly deployed in the outside of the Great Wall, the frontier, and the land of Baiyue, and it affects the whole body.

Once the main forces are retracted back to the Central Plains, these places will break away from Daxia's control, and it will be difficult to take them back in the future.

Just when everyone had nothing to do, Wang Jian suddenly stood out from the crowd.

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I may have a way."

Everyone looked at her in astonishment, and all the civil servants thought for a long time, but they couldn't do anything. What kind of good policy for governing the country can she get along with a general?

Sister Zheng was also stunned for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised: "What good plan do you have?"

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the almighty Mr. Bai."

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhengjie's face: "Bai...Bai Su, isn't he in charge of casting in Daxia's workshop in Shaofu? What good way can he do for this kind of disaster relief?"

Wang Jian smiled on his pretty face and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, this kid is a good hand in logistics, and he has all kinds of ingenious ideas."

"During the Northern Expedition to the Huns in the past, there was a lack of vegetables on the frontline battlefield. This kid went directly to the frontline with bean seeds and planted vegetables on the frontline, which solved the crisis in the army."

"Since he has a way to solve the problem of lack of vegetables on the frontline battlefield, he must have a way to solve the problem of floods, road interruptions, and lack of food in the disaster area."

After she said this, Sister Zheng couldn't help but recall Bai Su's various outlandish ideas, and her phoenix eyes instantly brightened.

She hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite Bai Su into the palace, that's all... This matter is very important, I will go to see him in person."

Chapter 110 IX

Sister Zheng changed her words temporarily and didn't call Bai Su over directly, because she was worried that Bai Su's wind would destroy Xiumu...
