Chapter 79: The Great Qin Empire is in a Food Crisis!
"We will live up to Your Majesty's attention, and we will seek the welfare of the people and the prosperity of Great Qin!" All the officials shouted in unison.
Soon, a group of officials set off from Qamdo and went to the two southwestern counties, and there were also Lu Chang and Liu Zhongjing, the two of them went to serve as county guards, which can be described as feudal officials!
"Fang Xin, do you know why I let Lu Chang and Liu Zhongjing out of Beijing and didn't let you go out of Beijing?" Zhao Cheng said with a hint of a smile.
"I don't know!" Fang Xin replied with a calm face, as if he was not sad about this matter.
"Do you want to ask?" Zhao Cheng laughed again.
"If Your Majesty tells the minister, the minister will know, if Your Majesty doesn't tell the minister, the minister will not know!" Fang Xin's body bowed slightly, and he replied with a solemn expression.
Fang Xin is very smart, he knows what to ask and what not to ask, he didn't tell you, he just didn't want you to know, and it was boring for you to ask again!
"Haha, pass on my message, from now on, Fang Xin will be the prime minister of Great Qin, overseeing government affairs, and sharing worries for me!" Although Zhao Cheng was smiling and looked peaceful, the words he said gave people a feeling of not daring to refuse.
This is Diwei!
A person, if he sits in a position and sits for a long time, he will have a temperament, such as a soldier, his temperament is to give people a sense of fortitude, a company executive, and a feeling of a professional elite.
And the emperor is the emperor, what he says, will be deeply imprinted in the heart, making it difficult to forget, and difficult to resist, as if the emperor is the sky, and when he speaks, it is God's order, the so-called mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and those who violate it will die!
"Huh? Slaughter.... Prime minister! Fang Xin was taken aback, the word "Prime Minister" was like thunder, instantly overwhelming his brain, losing his ability to think, and the whole person fell into endless excitement!
"Minister.... The minister has... Do you have the ability? "Fang Xin wants to shirk, the prime minister, except for the emperor, is the prime minister, he is the biggest, he is worried that he does not have the ability to take on such a big responsibility.
As the saying goes, the greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility, and at the same time, the greater the pressure!
"I said that you have it, you have it, listening to the black and white shuangsha, when you are in front of Emperor Yuan, you are neither humble nor arrogant, and you do not kneel to Emperor Yuan, just rush to this point, which shows that your courage is very great!" Zhao Cheng said in a tone that could not be refused.
When the black and white shuangsha told him about this, he himself was a little unconvinced, but think about it, the black and white shuangsha is a person who comes out of the system and will not deceive himself, presumably this thing is true.
Fang Xin's performance in Dadu was beyond his expectations, the Yuan court was full of civil and military forces and princes, he dared not kneel to Emperor Yuan, and even dared to threaten the entire Yuan court and force the Yuan court to compromise the conditions of Great Qin!
Although Yuan Ting only agreed to half of the conditions, it is enough to show that Fang Xin not only has the guts, but also the ability, if he is not the prime minister of Great Qin, who can take it!
"Minister, thank the emperor!" Fang Xin no longer shirked, knelt directly on the ground, and suddenly kowtowed three times to express his gratitude to Zhao Cheng!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Cheng picked up a wooden plate, on which was placed a set of black official robes and a black official hat inlaid with a large pearl.
This official robe, although it is black, but it is embroidered with two lifelike big white cranes, one is standing on the lotus leaf, the other is showing soaring, the two sleeves of the official robe, tattooed with a faint gold thread, all day long, very atmospheric and luxurious!
Zhao Cheng put the wooden plate in front of Fang Xin, and when Fang Xin saw this, he hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hands, resulting in the wooden plate.
At this moment, he felt extremely honored, the Son of Heaven personally awarded the official robe, which is simply unprecedented and unprecedented, and he will leave a deep mark in history!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed!
Now Daqin has accepted two million displaced people, and it is still slowly accepting, and at the same time, the two counties in the southwest are also developing rapidly, but the problem also comes, that is, the food is urgent!
The influx of two million people made the imperial court, which was already short of food in Great Qin, suddenly under great pressure, and even for this reason, 20,000 tons of grain from the army were transferred to the official warehouses in various places.
But even so, it was impossible to feed two million people, in this regard, Zhao Cheng used all the exchange points to buy food, and personally ordered the people of Daqin and the army to have one meal a day, one bowl of gruel per meal, and even set an example for himself, drinking only one bowl of gruel a day.
In this way, Daqin survived the worst three months, and at the cost of starving to death of 30,000 people, he ushered in today!
Today, it is the harvest season of Naqu Guantian, looking at the bunches of heavy rice crops, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but shed tears!
100,000 captives are busy harvesting rice crops, and grains of rice are poured into cloth bags!
It lasted one day, and with the hard work of 100,000 captives, all the thousands of acres of official land in Naqu were harvested.
In the Shengtian Mansion, Zhao Cheng sat on the first place, and Prime Minister Fang Xin said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news, that Qu Guantian, harvest a thousand tons of rice!" ”
"Great!" Zhao Cheng exhaled softly, it was finally time for a bumper harvest, but ...... This little bit of food is not enough at all!
One acre of high-grade rice seeds is a hundred grains, don't look at only a hundred grains, but in fact, their ability is great, these seeds enter the land, will spread, decompose, and then grow out in all, just like planting a thousand seeds!
One acre of land can grow a ton of rice, and a thousand acres of land is a thousand tons of rice!
"What happened to the grain that the people had grown? When is it harvested? Zhao Cheng asked suddenly.
A thousand tons of rice is far from enough for Daqin to consume, and now Daqin's hope is the people, Zhao Cheng used the exchange point to buy a million rice seeds and transport them to various official warehouses.
100,000 grains of high-grade rice can grow 1,000 tons of rice, and 1 million grains of high-grade rice can grow 10,000 tons of rice.
"It's already being harvested, I believe that in a few days, the entire rice field of Daqin can be harvested!" Fang Xin quickly reported.
"It's far from enough, pass on my message, from now on, Daqin prohibits anyone from entering the border, and all of them will be sealed!" Zhao Cheng reluctantly ordered to close the country.
Now Daqin is very reluctant, two million displaced people are already the limit of Daqin, which Zhao Cheng could not predict, he thought that the more people, the better for Daqin, but what he never expected was to ignore the problem of food!
"Yes!" Fang Xin nodded in response, and then walked out of Sheng Tianfu in a hurry and gave an order!
"Damn!" Zhao Cheng couldn't help but clench his fists and gritted his teeth in a low voice.
Releasing exiles into Daqin is definitely the most wrong decision in his political career, it is estimated where most of them are, I don't know how happy I am to see the current appearance of Daqin!
It's stupid, stupid!
