Chapter 76

Of course, the news of famine in Handan County was not based on normal channels and was directly sent to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought about King Zhao's virtue and knew that such a mess would not be surprising, but now that Zhao has become the Handan County of Qin, he naturally cannot sit idly by. If he fights, it will be done. If he doesn't want to completely incorporate Zhao's land into the territory of Qin, why does he have to work hard?

Ying Zheng immediately asked someone to call Fusu and the others to discuss the matter.

After reading the report from the magistrate of Handan County, Fusu browsed, but he didn't expect that the situation in Handan County would be so serious.

He was unable to interfere in the government at this age in his previous life, and he didn't know much about the process of taking over the six countries. He only remembered that Zhao State disappeared shortly after Li Mu was killed.

Could it be that there was such a famine at that time that the whole country of Zhao had no power to fight back?

No matter what happened in my previous life, the most important thing now is how to solve the dilemma of Handan County.

According to the magistrate of Handan County, Handan County is located in a relatively north, and the land is thawed late, and the spring plowing is later than the current one, so the problem is also discovered later.

Nowadays, many places either fail to catch up with spring plowing, or they encounter severe drought after seeds. Even if they survive the next period of unsuccessful days, the harvest of the people of Handan County this year will not be very good.

Fusu was thinking about the food reserves of neighboring counties in his mind, and then considered various disaster relief methods, and did not immediately participate in the discussions of others.

If it were placed in ordinary places, the food in the local townships and counties should be able to last for a while. Many powerful and wealthy households would open warehouses to lend grain to people who could not eat for fame or to retain the villagers. However, Zhao State suffered a disaster of destroying the country, and all those who could escape were fled, and those who had not escaped were requisitioned or consumed, and there was no way to turn over.

But it is really unreasonable to send food to the disaster relief in vain. Not to mention whether the people of Zhao have truly surrendered, even if they are really willing to become the people of Qin sincerely, Qin does not have so much food to feed so many mouths!

After much discussion, everyone did not discuss a suitable solution.

Seeing that Fusu had not spoken, Ying Zheng pointed out his name and asked him to tell his thoughts.

Fusu clarified his thoughts and said, "The child thinks that first of all the counties in Handan County should first make detailed statistics on the disaster situation, the number of people affected, which places have completely cut off food, which places can be replanted, and which places need to divert water, and then dispatch the food reserved by the surrounding counties to provide relief according to the degree of the disaster." He frowned, with a childish face clearly on his tone, but his tone was so serious, "The food in the surrounding counties may not be enough, so we have to think of another way."

This is to directly skip the discussion on "whether to release food and provide disaster relief" and directly enter the "how to provide disaster relief" stage.

Someone seriously criticized Fusu's distractedness: "Does the young master think we want to clean up the mess for Zhao State?"

This matter is obviously not their fault. Zhao State forced its people to be unable to eat. Look at the South Korean side, there is no problem. Yingchuan County had a good harvest last year.

Fusu was stunned by the words. He blinked his eyes and looked at the person who spoke seriously and said, "Now the people of Handan County are the people of our Qin State."

Others are speechless.

That being said, but who knows whether they really regard themselves as the people of Qin? If they get the food and make trouble, wouldn’t the court suffer a big loss?

In the eyes of most people, there is nothing to discuss about this matter. The king and the prince are so kind. These people who lost their country die if they die. If they don’t die, they should all be slaves and laborers, so that they can all be slaves and laborers, so that they can have free time to cause trouble.

However, Ying Zheng did not refute Fusu's words, and the others did not dare to worry about this issue anymore. They only pointed out that the war has been fought a little too much in the past two years, and the food stored in various places may not be enough. Don't help Handan County, but starve your own people to death.

Fusu said: "We might as well borrow grain from Yan and Wei. They are close to Handan County, which is convenient for transportation. In return, we can replant the various counties in Handan County and form the people to build roads for them without paying their wages, and eat and drink. If it really doesn't work, we can also exchange goods such as candles, bamboo paper, and new salt. I believe that Yan and Wei will be willing."

"No." Feng Quji opposed, "The young master also said that there are many benefits to building roads. If you have built a road for them, wouldn't you help them?"

Fusu smiled slightly and said, "It's not like that. Do you still remember the fact that Zhibo destroyed the enemy?"

No one here has any shallow knowledge. After hearing what Fusu said, he remembered Zhibo's plan to destroy the enemy.

At that time, Zhibo wanted to fight Qiu Youguo, but Qiu Youguo's road was not easy to walk, so it took a lot of effort to get in. Therefore, Zhibo asked Qiu Youguo to build the road and pick up the big bell on the grounds that he wanted to send Qiu Youguo a big bell.

The king of Qiu You did not listen to his ministers' advice and organized people to build a road. As a result, Zhibo's army drove straight into the country and quickly destroyed Qiu You.

It can be seen from this that what can be used for roads when they are repaired has nothing to do with the road itself, but with the people who have contributed to their existence.

Everyone here knows that Ying Zheng has made great plans and will sooner or later include Yan and Wei in the territory of Qin. Since this is the case, it seems that there is nothing wrong with organizing people to build a road for Yan and Wei.

Even if they have a good path, can they still be more brave and good at fighting than the Qin people? It is just that it is convenient for the Qin army to directly capture their fortresses and royal cities!

Everyone thought this was feasible, so they first gave some relief to the people of Handan County, so that they could work together to replant the fields, and at least plant some grain for winter; then divided the entire Handan County, and selected young and strong men who could work and eat in each county, and let the surrounding counties manage the meal, some let the Yan State manage the meal, and some let the Wei State manage the meal.

In this way, the court's pressure on disaster relief was not too great. It was also possible to repair the roads that the counties had originally planned to be repaired, which sounded like a good idea.

Meng Tian was the first to respond: "What the young master said is reasonable!"

Meng Tian started, and the others also began to express their opinions, thinking that this plan was pretty good, and at least it was not for them to eat for free. As long as they helped Handan County survive this year's desolate year, they should be much more smooth in the future and would not let them make trouble again.

Since we have already found a direction, Ying Zheng asked them to return to their own people and it is necessary to draft a charter as soon as possible.

The others left, but Fusu did not leave.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said strangely: "Do you have something to say?"

Fusu said, "I want to go to Handan County."

Ying Zheng's momentum became cold.

He looked at Fusu, feeling that this kid was getting more and more courageous, and even dared to say such a ridiculous idea.

Ying Zheng did not get angry immediately, but asked lightly: "What are you doing in Handan?"

Fusu said: "Of course we are going to provide disaster relief for the father."

He has been in the Shaofu Office for more than a year, and has done a lot of things and promoted people. Now even if he leaves him, the Shaofu Office can operate smoothly. He has arranged several major projects, and there will be no major events that he must take charge of for a while.

So, Fusu wanted to go there in person.

"The father is busy with state affairs and has no ability to go to Handan County in person, but the child knows that the father definitely hopes that the people of Handan County can truly return to their hearts." Fusu said his thoughts, "The child is still young and insignificant to the court, but he is the son of the father in the hearts of the people. If the child can go there in person, the people of Handan County will definitely feel the father's love for them."

Ying Zheng sneered and said, "I'm quite a bit old, and I don't even look at how old you are? At your age, when you arrive, others will only say that the court will send a child to fool them."

For Ying Zheng, the people are very important, but that is because everything they do is inseparable from people. As for how the people live, it doesn’t matter to him.

The Zhao State has just become Handan County, and the quelling of civil unrest in various places made the magistrate of Handan County too busy. Last time Guo Kai went back to move, he was killed, and Fusu still wanted to run there!

Not to mention whether he would encounter assassination, could his little body bear the rushing back and forth?

Fusu knew that Ying Zheng was angry, looked up at Ying Zheng and said, "Father, my son wants to go out for a walk." He leaned closer and grabbed Ying Zheng's broad palm, "You should go out and see how the people are living, and also look at the world that the father has won."

He could not stay in a greenhouse for the rest of his life as he did in his previous life, until the storm was approaching, but he realized that he could not cope at all.

Fusu's hand is more than one size smaller than Ying Zheng's hand, and it almost takes two hands to close together to compare with Ying Zheng's palm.

Ying Zheng found that the boy was becoming more and more arrogant, and even his claws were so soft that he dared to say that he wanted to go outside for him to take a look.

Ying Zheng was cold and raised the old account with Fusu: "If I don't let you go, will you have a serious illness again and say that you want to go to Handan to recuperate to recover?"

Fusu dared not speak out.

Ying Zheng asked him to get out.

When Fusu was about to leave the palace, the whole thing was strange. First, Xu Fu said that he had calculated that Fusu was going to Yunyang County to recuperate, and then Fusu's condition improved as soon as he left the palace.

Later, Fusu repeatedly used "Immortals to teach dreams" to talk about things, and Ying Zheng knew that he had planned to leave the palace, but he did not investigate because the things Fusu brought out were quite useful.

Now this kid is addicted to running out. It is not enough to live in Yunyang County for a year. This time he wants to run to Handan County.

Who dares to act so boldly and be so wild that he is less than ten years old?

Ying Zheng was angry for a long time and couldn't help but get angry several times when discussing government affairs with others.

Li Si was also suffering from a disaster. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He felt that the atmosphere had become worse since Fusu stayed to talk to Ying Zheng in the morning.

What's wrong with this?

Although Li Si was confused, he did not dare to inquire rashly, so as not to be affected again.

Li Si returned home with a question, and saw his daughter collecting spices in the yard, and she could smell a muddy and light fragrance from afar. He stepped forward and smiled, "You have taken it out and dried it since the beginning of spring. Haven't you been able to dry it yet?"

Xiao Shanghua said with great utmost: "The time is suitable for drying spices in spring every day. There is not enough sunlight in other times, so you can't take it out to dry it."

Xiao Shanghua studied in Imperial College for two years and has learned a lot of basic courses and elective courses. Now she has very few classes every day. She has read a lot of records about perfume cooking in the library. When she returns home, she spends most of her time thinking about how to make perfume.

She has loved fragrance since she was a child, especially the fragrance taken from flowers and trees.

She collected these spices by herself and could not be found outside!

The fragrance she made with these spices was of course the only one in Xianyang City.

Xiao Shanghua gathered the spices very carefully, then raised her head with bright eyes and asked Li Si, "Dad, is there anything special today?"

Li Si understood as soon as he heard that the special thing his daughter asked was nothing more than Fusu. He said, "There is no special thing, that is, there is a famine in Handan County, and we are discussing how to provide disaster relief." Li Si glanced at his daughter and added, "The disaster relief method proposed by the eldest son, and we both think it is good."

Most people can't see the map. Xiao Shanghua was a little confused and asked curiously: "Where is Handan County? Is it the Handan that learns to walk in Handan?"

Li Si rubbed her head and said, "Yes, it's that Handan, which was originally the royal city of Zhao, and now it belongs to Handan County of our Qin State."

Li Si said this, Xiao Shanghua understood that Handan County was the original Zhao State.

She asked Fusu again how to provide disaster relief. It was not until Li Si deleted Fusu's words and repeated them again. She just said distressedly: "Then what can I help?"

Li Si said helplessly: "The eldest son is very busy recently and may not sleep well at night. You can adjust a sachet to calm his mind and calm his energy. Aren't you doing this these days?"

Li Si was still very satisfied with Fusu, the prospective son-in-law. Fusu's weight in the king's heart is obviously getting heavier and heavier. If he wants to establish a prince in the future, Fusu will definitely be the candidate.

It’s a pity that the two children are not ten years old, and the marriage cannot be settled for the time being.

It is precisely because he was very satisfied with Fusu, the prospective son-in-law, and realized early on that Fusu might be very popular. Li Si not only did not object to the fact that his daughter gave Fusu sachets, but also encouraged him.

There is no difference between men and women in marriage. As long as you like it, you should take action first!

Xiao Shanghua doesn’t have as many ideas as Li Si, and it makes sense to hear Li Si say this.

She has no money and can't help the affected people, but Fusu can definitely help them.

So, if she brings out the incense that allows Fusu to rest well, Fusu will definitely help more people if he nourishes his spirit!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shanghua immediately went to work hard.

The author has something to say:

Fu Xiaosu: Father, the world is so big, I want to go and see it

Ying Zheng:?

Ying Zheng: Dreaming!
