Xianyang, Lijiazhuang

Li Chen found that he would never have time to be idle. If you don't have a few days to spare, there will inevitably be trouble coming to your door. Now, Li Chen knew that he had been completely tied to Daqin's chariot. Only the farther the Great Qin puppet group goes, can he live longer.

"Chen Ping, what do you think?" Li Chen handed the letter to Chen Ping. This letter is good, it was sent by Xiang Zhuang, and it was written about Zhang Liang's actions these days.

After Chen Ping finished reading the letter, a glimmer of light spread from the corners of his eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "Master Hou, it's a big trouble." Zhang Liang will definitely not be untargeted, to say a big disrespectful word, these people don't care who is sitting on it, they only care about whether they can eat enough. If there is no food, Daqin will inevitably be in chaos. ”

"Chen Ping, will this matter be related to that batch of copper mines?" Li Chen thought of the copper mine again, which almost became a knot in his heart. At this time in his previous life, it was almost the last years of Great Qin, and to be honest, Li Chen was afraid, he didn't know if he could change the trajectory of history.

"It's not the Xiang clan, the Xiang clan definitely doesn't have the ability to transport so much copper ore out of Xianyang." Chen Ping categorically denied.

"Master Hou, I suspect that the court has not checked it out, how can these copper mines disappear out of thin air, unless it is our own person in Daqin, and this person must be in a high position." Chen Ping thought for a moment and then said.

"Keep investigating, secretly investigating." Li Chen said. What Chen Ping said was just a conjecture and a direction for handling cases. Without the slightest evidence and clues, it is impossible to rashly set off an uproar in the court. If Zhao Que is asked to take people on a large scale, the administrative operation of the entire Great Qin will be paralyzed.

After Chen Ping left, Li Chen was thinking. He was thinking that if Da Qin was really messed up, he would have some confidence in turning the tide. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang In their previous lives, it was these three forces that first rose up against Qin, and then the remnants of the six countries rose up together. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are a group of grass on the wall, and the wind blows on both sides. They must have taken a wait-and-see attitude at the beginning, if Great Qin had the ability to quickly extinguish the flames of anti-Qin, they would naturally still live a stable life. If Great Qin was really crumbling, they wouldn't mind filling the fire.

Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu in his previous life was short-tempered and stubborn, this is a man-eating tiger. But now with Zhang Liang's assistance, Xiang Yu has been transformed into a winged tiger that can fly.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, compared to Xiang Yu, the silent Liu Bang is what worries Li Chen the most. This is the real son of destiny, Peixian is a land of dragons, and there are too many talents. Xiahou Ying who drove the car, Zhou Bo who played the trumpet, Cao Shen, the head of the cell, and Xiao He, the knife and pen officer......

Every time he thought of the great Han in his previous life, Pei County, the land of Longxing in his previous life, Li Chen's heart was cold. To put it bluntly, if you throw a brick on the street of Peixian County and smash ten people, eight or nine of them will be the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty in the future. Liu Bang, a little gangster, seems to be being pushed by destiny all the way.

As the days passed, it seemed that the autumn harvest was about to begin. Li Chen didn't know how Zhang Liang was going to play next, so he could only take one step at a time and see the moves.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, it's not good, the grain harvest in Donghai, Surabaya, Jiujiang, Nanyang, Huiji, Yingchuan, Jibei, Dangjun, and Nanjun is gone." Chen Ping received the secret letter from Tianting early in the morning, and he was really frightened.

"Zhang Liang, it must be Zhang Liang." Li Chen muttered to himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Liang made a move, and it was a desperate killing move. There are only thirty-six large counties in the entire Great Qin. As soon as Zhang Liang made a move, the nine major counties were wiped out, this is a killing move, the world is going to be chaotic. The nine counties that were harvested happened to be Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan in the previous life, and these three plains were the important grain producing areas of Daqin.

"Chen Ping, go see Your Majesty." Li Chen hurriedly took Chen Ping in the direction of the palace.

Xianyang City, Afang Palace

Looking at the dozens of ministers in the main hall, this is almost the real power figure of the entire Great Qin. Li Chen nodded from Chen Ping and said, "Chen Ping, tell the ministers about our information."

Chen Ping glanced at the ministers present without any stage fright, and said in a sonorous voice: "According to the intelligence, the grain harvest in the two counties of Donghai and Surabaya will be more than eighty percent. The grain harvest in the four counties of Jiujiang, Nanyang, Huiji, and Yingchuan is more than 50%. The grain harvest in the three counties of Jibei, Dangjun and Nanjun will also be more than 30%. ”

"Master Hou, make a mistake. Some time ago, I received letters from all over the world, and these seedlings are also growing very well. As soon as Chen Ping's words fell, the king of the household department said eagerly.

"I hope it's wrong, but it's the way it is. The rest of the counties have started the autumn harvest one after another, but only these nine counties are still green seedlings. The seedlings in the East China Sea and Surabaya counties have not yet borne grain. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think I'm going to need to talk about it. Li Chen's face seemed to be a little unsightly.

Among the 36 large counties of Daqin, some of the remote and poor counties can only produce their own products. Some counties have surplus grain, and it is these counties with surplus grain that support the operation of Daqin. However, the nine counties that have lost the harvest are all counties with surplus grain. In addition to these nine counties, only the Sanqin, Guan, Bashu, and Baiyue regions can have some surplus grain.

"Wangqi, the surplus grain in the treasury can last for the next year." The first emperor asked the king of the Hubu Shangshu.

"The old minister calculates."

"The old minister calculates." The king was sweating profusely.

The household department is fat and short, and he is in charge of the country's expenditure and input, and Wang Qi can sit in the position of the head of the household department, in addition to the henchmen of the first emperor, he naturally has the ability to fight. The amount of surplus grain in this household, the amount of annual income, and the annual expenditure are all engraved in Wang Qi's heart.

"Your Majesty has taken out all the grain in the nine warehouses, and it should be able to survive next year." The old man seemed to have calculated it clearly, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou, the minister has something to say." Chen Ping said suddenly.

"Say."

The First Emperor said that, and Li Chen also nodded at Chen Ping.

"The minister thinks that the food in the nine warehouses is not enough, far from enough. The account is not calculated like Wang Shangshu, and state affairs are not addition and subtraction. ”

"I asked Wang Shangshu how much loss would be on the way if it was a disaster relief and it was transported from granaries in various places to the disaster area."

"When the grain arrives in the county offices, how much is the drift in the county offices. After the disaster, whether the whole country is stable? ”

"If it is necessary to quell the rebellion, can there be any surplus of food and grass for the army? What about the changes in the projects in various places next year, and whether the rations for slaves in various places for next year can be left? ”

Chen Ping asked one question after another, these questions all hit Wang Qi's heart, and Wang Qi was speechless.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent." The king fell prostrate on the ground and shouted. Chen Ping is right, these are all things that he didn't expect.

"Since Chen Aiqing raised the problem, there is a solution." The First Emperor asked.

"Merchant, merchant definitely has surplus food in his hands. As long as they are willing to hand over the food in their hands, they will be able to solve the food problem. Chen Ping said.

"Your Majesty, give the order."

"Yes, order these merchants to hand over their food."

"Yes, if you dare to kill them all, you will kill them all."

The court was noisy for a while.

"I'm afraid you think that Great Qin is not chaotic enough, and if you give an order to forcibly levy, I'm afraid it will push the businessmen to the opposite side of Great Qin." Li Chen said in a voice.

Li Chen finally knew how Daqin was gone in his previous life, and he was really not in the hands of this group of officials. This peasant has no food, and he is forcibly requisitioning the grain of the merchants, so he is not forcing the merchants to rebel too.

"Your Majesty, will I take care of this matter?" Li Chen arched his hand and said. Regarding the collection of grain from merchants, Li Chenxin is still somewhat sure.

"I give you the right to arbitrate, and the matter will be left to you." The First Emperor said.

"Master Hou, can this person give it to my household." As soon as the early dynasty was dispersed, the head of the household department pointed to Chen Ping and said to Li Chen.

"Nope." Li Chen said angrily. It's all me Li Chen digging other people's corners, you bad old man still wants to dig my corner, I'm afraid you're not thinking about fart.
