Soon, Yingzhao and the others walked into Yingkang's mansion quickly.

"What do you command?" After seeing Yingkang, Yingzhao asked.

"Third brother, you sit first."

After a few people sat down, Ying Kang said, "Everyone, we have encountered a problem this time. Just now I received news from the Sanguo that the king of the Sanguo Kingdom, at the instigation of some people, decided to reduce the supply of grain and grass to the Qin people of Qianyi. Let's talk about this, what should we do? ”

The scattered state intends to reduce the supply of grain and grass to the Qin people?

As soon as Yingzhao heard this, he was blindsided, "Lord Sima, there have been many people who have poured into my Qianyi this year, and the grain and grass that were originally supplied to us are not enough. I originally planned to ask Sanguo to give us a little more grain and grass, but who knows that not only will they not give us more grain and grass, but they will also reduce our supply, what is going on? ”

"Hmph---, reduce our supply of grain and grass, aren't they afraid that we won't be able to guard the border for them?" Zhao Boyu said angrily.

"Of course they're not afraid. Not only is he not afraid, but he also hopes that he will return to Inugaoka after we know that we are in trouble. Ying Kang said.

Back to Inuhills?

"You're saying that Sanguo's move is actually to get us back to Inuhill? Why would they do this? Zhao Boyu asked in surprise, "Don't they want us to continue to guard the border for them?" ”

"Guarding the edge? Feng Rong has already been driven away, what border are they still guarding? What they hope most now is that our Qin people will leave Guanzhong as soon as possible and return to Inuqiu? Anyway, they are all their own people, and Yingkang doesn't have to hide it, so he said directly.

"Rat-eyed. Feng Rong was driven away this year, but no one can guarantee that Bo Rong will be killed next year. Aren't they worried that there will be other Rongdi tribes coming over next year? Zhao Boyu said.

"Worry must be worry, but what they are most worried about at the moment is the existence of our Qin people here. As for what you said, I'll talk about it later! ”

"Hmph---, ungrateful thing, this is a typical crossing a river and tearing down a bridge."

Yingkang knew that no matter how much annoyance he said, it would be useless, so he said: "Okay, okay, don't say anything about annoyance, let's think about how to deal with it!" ”

"Method, what other way can I think of at this time? Originally, the influx of the people into Qianyi required a large amount of grain and grass. Now it's good, not only do people not give us grain and grass, but they also want to reduce the amount of food and grass we deserve, which is a typical bottom of the kettle, what else can we do? ”

Since Zhao Boyu knew that he was annoyed, Yingkang didn't ask him anymore, so he turned to Yingzhao and said, "Third brother, I know that once the scattered country reduces the supply of grain and grass to us, the most difficult will be you." Do you have any coping options here? ”

"Things are changing so fast, we can't really think of a good way to do it right now. But you don't have to worry, we have experienced so many things along the way, and haven't we solved them one by one in the end? I think we'll definitely solve it this time. Although he hasn't come up with a good way yet, Yingzhao still comforts Yingkangdao.

Hearing Yingzhao say this, Yingkang's originally constricted brows stretched a little, "Third brother is right, isn't this something that hasn't happened yet?" The current news is just a precautionary measure. Why, then, should we treat it as if nothing happened? I think it's this that we will first send someone to Sancheng to report the current situation of Qianyi to the monarchs and ministers of Sanguo, raise the status of the people, and bring some more things to offer to Sanpan by the way. I wonder if the loose plate will not reduce our supply of food and grass for the sake of our respect for him? ”

After listening to Ying Kang's words, Ying Zhao said: "This is just a beautiful idea, but in this way, it can at least ease our relationship with Sanguo." But I think even if we're nervous, it's only this year, and when the people here grow the crops next year, we'll be able to be self-sufficient. At that time, it will not matter whether he wants to provide us with food and grass or not. ”

"I know what the third brother said, but what I want to say is that the time from this winter to next autumn is the most difficult time for us. Although we have a lot of people here this year, and the population has increased significantly, there will also be a shortage of food and grass. Even if you start planting crops now, you won't harvest until next fall. Third brother, this year will be the most difficult moment for our Qin people after entering Guanzhong, and we must handle the relationship with the surrounding countries such as the scattered country. At the very least, we can't let them find us something to do during the year. ”

After listening to Yingkang's words, Yingzhao realized the seriousness of the problem more clearly, it is true!

If the scattered country cuts off the supply of grain and grass to the Qin people from next month, the Qin people in Qianyi will fall into a very passive situation at the moment, and what is the use of gathering more people?

"Brother, you're absolutely right, we really need to prepare for the worst. If that doesn't work, we'll stop absorbing the people around us. To be honest, it will be very good to be able to resettle these people at that time, and we will not be able to resettle any more! ”

Ying Kang waved his hand, "Third brother, it's not that time yet, since the people are willing to defect to us, it's too late for us to welcome it?" How dare you let the people leave? Today, these people will become the decisive factor for our Qin people to enter Guanzhong in the future, and going one will reduce one of their strength. ”

"I understand the truth, but when there are too many people, what should we give them to eat and drink? If there is no food and grass, the more people there are, the greater the difficulties. "Since Yingzhao can come here, of course he knows all the truths, but the upcoming shortage of grain and grass will become the biggest obstacle for the Qin people to absorb the people, and if this problem is not solved, everything will return to zero.

"As I have already said, I will solve the problem of food and grass. I will go to Sanguo early tomorrow morning and have a good discussion with Sanpanzi about the issue of grain and grass. Ying Kang said, "In addition, we have to deal with the relationship with the Kingdom of Yu and the royal family. If it really doesn't work, we still have to ask for help. ”

"Well---, brother is right, but I also thought of a solution, that is, we can also ask Inuqiu for help, so that the eldest brother and they can also think of more ways to transport some cattle and sheep before winter comes, and these cattle and sheep can also come in handy at critical moments. Fifth brother, what do you think? ”

After listening to Yingzhao's words, Yingkang said with a smile: "Everyone couldn't think of a way just now, but in a blink of an eye, everyone came up with so many ways together, it seems that everyone's wisdom is really endless!" Okay, I think I'll do this first, and when I come back from Sanguo, all the problems will be clear. ”

"Okay, then you can go and get back quickly." Ying Zhao explained to Ying Kang.

"Okay, third brother, just wait for our news!"

"In that case, then let's go back first and take our leave." After that, Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu walked out of Yingkang's mansion.
