Su Mo recruited Han Xin and Xiao He, of course, they were not untargeted.

Now he has become the Marquis of Lun of the Qin Dynasty, and he can only be promoted to the Marquis of Che through the accumulation of military merits, but now the Qin State is peaceful inside, and there are few battles that can be fought for him, like the time when he fought Tu'an, he can only be said to be lucky, if it weren't for Tu'an's death, I'm afraid the Qin Dynasty would not have thought that there was a small country like Tu'an next to him.

Since there is no war, Su Mo can only provoke a war.

Now the biggest enemy of the Qin Dynasty is the Xiongnu, the first emperor did not hesitate to build the Great Wall in order to resist the Xiongnu, it can be said that he has made a bloody investment, if Su Mo can level the Xiongnu, such a great merit should be enough to seal the Marquis, and the Xiongnu are not like Tu'an can be defeated with three thousand evil guards.

He needs to fight with the Huns with real knives and guns, and when the time comes, he will recruit Han Xin and Xiao He.

Let Han Xin help him train soldiers and horses, attack the Huns, let Xiao He help him manage logistics supplies, and finally wait until Yi Xiaochuan helps him develop gunpowder, it should not be difficult to destroy the Xiongnu with such a luxurious lineup.

After saying Han Xin's information, Su Mo asked Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian to help find them.

Now that the eyes and ears of the East Factory and the West Factory are all over Daqin, it is still easy to find someone.

Among them, Han Xin may be difficult to find, but Xiao He and Cao Shen are simple, they are originally a small official in Pei County, and they only need a paper order to let the other party go to Xianyang City obediently.

Speaking of which, this small Pei County is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not only Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but also Xiao He Cao Shen, a prime minister, and even Fan Xu, a dog meat seller, can become a generation of fierce generals, which is really incredible.

After doing this, Su Mo planned to be lazy and go to Cui Wenzi to drink two cups, and by the way, ask how to refine the elixir.

For the most awesome thing in this mythical world, Su Mo is still very excited.

If he could take the elixir, he might be able to ascend to the sky directly and completely solve the problem of lifespan.

At this time, a subordinate outside the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly ran over.

"Lord Xiangguo, summoned by His Majesty the First Emperor."

Hearing this, Su Mo frowned, and responded lightly: "I'll go right away." ”

Following the other party, Su Mo soon came to Zhangtai Palace.

The so-called Zhangtai Palace is the place where the first emperor dealt with the twists and turns, commonly known as the office.

In the Qin Dynasty, the emperor and his ministers deliberated in the Qilin Palace, where a large court meeting was generally held once a month, in addition to some small court meetings, which did not require too many people to participate, but those who could participate were high-ranking people, and the address of the event was placed in Zhangtai Palace.

By the time Su Mo walked into Zhangtai Palace, there were already many people standing inside.

Among them, the left prime minister Li Si and the right prime minister Feng Quji are all here, and in addition to the six books, all of them are here.

And by the side of the First Emperor, the Prince of Fusu also stood there, and during this time, the First Emperor intended to cultivate Fusu, so he also began to listen to the government.

It can be said that now the most powerful people in Great Qin have gathered in this Zhangtai Palace, if those people from the Six Kingdoms rush in now and kill all the people here, it is estimated that Great Qin will collapse by half.

"Minister Zhao Gao, see His Majesty the First Emperor!"

After Su Mo stepped into Zhangtai Palace, he hurriedly bowed slightly towards the First Emperor.

This small court meeting is different from the big court meeting, at the big court meeting, the hundred officials have to kowtow like the first emperor, long live the mountain, but it is different here, after all, it is a private meeting, in fact, Su Mo found that he went to Daqin to see the first emperor so much, and he never knelt down once.

At the court meeting, he presided over the court meeting as the commander of the CRRC government, and he didn't have to kneel at all.

Other times, as the prime minister, he didn't have to kneel in front of the first emperor.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty cool.

"Zhao Gao, you are here, it just so happens that everyone is discussing an important matter, so I called you over to listen." The First Emperor opened his mouth and said with a smile, although he was an emperor, he was still very kind in private.

And it was very casual between the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, like when Su Mo did not come to Great Qin before, Prime Minister Li Si won the favor of the First Emperor alone, and when the hundred officials held a banquet, the First Emperor knew that Li Si liked to eat fatty meat, so he deliberately distributed the food in the bowl to the other party.

"Whoa!"

Su Mo slowly walked to the side and stood up, at this time, the three prime ministers of Great Qin, and all the six Shangshu were here.

After the First Emperor glanced around, he spoke: "Li Si, don't you have something to start, let's talk!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister does have something important to do."

Li Si walked out and spoke, then looked at Su Mo, and then continued: "Now the Xianyang plague has been solved, but the plague has also caused my people to suffer heavy losses, and this natural disaster is followed by a man-made disaster.

Since last year, earthquakes and floods have broken out in many places in Daqin, and this year there has been a plague, and the people have no surplus food at home, and the suffering is unspeakable, and the people have gathered to make trouble in many counties and counties. ”

"Last year, I also exempted taxes from many counties and counties for three years, how can people have no surplus food at home?" After hearing this, the first emperor's face really became solemn, most of the peasant uprisings and rebellions throughout the ages could not survive, and if they were left alone, there would definitely be rebellions.

Hearing this, all the masks, including Prime Minister Li Si, were silent.

Su Mo stood below, already knowing it in his heart.

is still the same sentence, now the land annexation of Daqin is too serious, most of the acres of land in the people's homes are sold to the nobles, and most of the grain that everyone has worked hard to grow must be handed over to the nobles, and then they have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and in the end, only a small amount of poor grain will be left to themselves.

In the face of such natural and man-made disasters, the grain harvest is less, and it may not even be enough to pay taxes.

So it's understandable that the disaster is everywhere.

It's just that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are aware of this matter, but none of them have raised it.

The First Emperor frowned: "Now the taxes in various places have not been collected, and there is not much grain in the treasury, but if you let it go, what can you do when those disaster victims gather to rebel, do you have any good plans to solve this matter?" ”

Faced with this difficult question, Li Si and the others were speechless.

Although the Qin Dynasty was short of grain, the Qin Dynasty was not short of grain.

Qin has a rich Guanzhong, Bashu land as the granary of the world, known as Bashu ripe, the world is full of saying, when the general Wang Jian led 600,000 troops to attack Chu, the period lasted two years, the consumption of grain and grass alone is enough for 300,000 tons, it can be seen that the Qin Dynasty is not short of food.

It's just that later the land annexation was too serious, and now most of the grain in Daqin is in the hands of the nobles, so it is said that Daqin is short of food, but the nobles of Daqin are not short of food.

However, it is impossible to get those Great Qin nobles to hand over the grain to help the people.

Su Mo naturally knew this truth.

But at this time, the First Emperor saw that everyone didn't speak, and his eyes gradually moved to Su Mo's body: "Zhao Gao, you are resourceful on weekdays, and every time you are handed over to you, you have never disappointed me, I wonder if you have a way to solve the matter of this disaster?" ”

Seeing that he was named by the First Emperor himself, Su Mo's face was a little helpless.

He thought for a moment, and finally stood up and said, "The minister has a plan to solve the problem of my Great Qin having no food!" ”

"What's the solution?" The First Emperor had already dawned and hurriedly asked.

"Cash-for-work, commercial bidding!"
