The trouble that Qin Wangzheng said was to find more trouble for Yang Ming, so as to keep Yang Ming busy, and let Yang Ming experience the things he experienced.

However, in terms of government affairs and military affairs, Yang Ming's efficiency is too high, if he only uses these two things to trouble Yang Ming, the effect may not be too good, so taking advantage of the scorching summer, the matter of sending troops to attack Yan State cannot be acted on for the time being, Qin Wangzheng handed over two huge projects, the surveying and mapping affairs of the water conservancy system in the territory of Zhao to Yang Ming.

As a person who commands the army, looking at mapping and mapping is one of the necessary skills, and Qin Wangzheng is still full of heart for handing over these two things to Yang Ming, and he believes that Yang Ming will give him a satisfactory answer.

This is Qin Wangzheng's plan, just waiting for Yang Ming to select the elite from the surrendered troops to form a new army is completed, and Yang Ming will be given a big surprise.

Yang Ming, who had already rushed to Donghuan's surrender camp, didn't know that Qin Wangzheng was already thinking about how to calculate himself, and at this time he was catching up with Li Mu and selecting the elite by the way.

"How is the Qin State going to deal with this year's catastrophe?" As a general, Li Mu has surrendered, and naturally he does not have much say in the military, but as a Zhao person, in the drought that has swept the entire territory of Zhao State, Li Mu must do something.

"Under this drought, the grain production will either be reduced or the harvest will not be lost, but there will be no food shortage in the short term, and the real food shortage will occur in the winter and before the summer harvest next year." Yang Ming, who was standing on top of a watchtower with Li Mu and Sima Shang, looking at the silent and depressed military camp, said.

The drought that occurred in the sixteenth year of Qin Wangzheng will not directly break out of the food shortage, after all, in each household, in Zhaodi, there are still some reserves, but in terms of the national strength of the Zhao State, this reserve must be limited, according to Yang Ming's estimate, even if the Zhao people are frugal, after entering the autumn, there will be a small-scale food shortage, and ordinary families with a poor family background will run out of food, and after entering the winter, the large-scale food shortage will completely break out, until it reaches the real peak in the spring.

Therefore, this summer is a time for Qin to actively prepare for famine, and implement cash-for-work in the autumn, so that the people of Zhao can earn food to meet the basic needs of the winter, and then start work in the spring to meet the needs of the summer.

Yang Ming's long story was short, and he introduced the work for relief and water conservancy and Chidao to Li Mu and Sima Shang, which made the two fall into contemplation for a while.

Judging from the experience of Li Mu and Sima Shang, the method is feasible, at least there are no flaws in the plan mentioned by Yang Ming, but what kind of effect can be achieved in the specific implementation process still needs to be verified.

Moreover, cash-for-work is simple to say, but it is extremely troublesome to operate, not to mention anything else, but the resources to be consumed behind it is a huge number, just this one is difficult to achieve, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, with such a truth in family affairs, and the same is true in state affairs.

Therefore, after Yang Ming's statement, Li Mu asked after a short thought, "Can the Qin State come up with food for this?" ”

"There are almost 800,000 households in Zhaodi, with a population of between four million and five million, and it takes about 7.5 million stone to maintain the consumption of so many people in one autumn, but considering that in autumn, people with solid families should not encounter a food shortage, and the figure of 7.5 million will have to be discounted in half, and in terms of the storage of the treasury of the Qin State and the current situation in the treasury of the Zhao State, it can still support this number." Yang Ming said.

"It's just autumn, but what about winter? And what about the coming year? Li Mu asked, just an autumn is not a disaster relief, and even autumn is not the worst time for the disaster.

"Winter grain, Qin State can produce half of it, and then the big clan of Zhao Land can produce half, as for the grain of the spring of the next year, when there is a grain of Yan State to supplement, the grain before the summer harvest is obtained, then use the wealth of Yan State to buy from Qi State." Yang Ming said in an orderly manner, as if everything had been arranged clearly.

It's just that this arrangement seems reasonable, but behind it, is there a little too many elements? It's Yan and Qi.

Could it be that the Qin State wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Yan State? Regarding such a possibility, Li Mu and Sima Shang subconsciously looked at Yang Ming, and it seemed that it was not impossible.

Sending troops in autumn and completely taking the Yan Kingdom before the onset of deep winter is something that others will inevitably not be able to do, but with the strength of Yang Ming and the Qin army under his command, it seems that it is not impossible.

As for the grain of the Qi State, Li Mu and Sima Shang believed that if the goods of the Yan State were used to buy the grain of the Qi State, the Qi State would definitely agree, because now a large part of the treasures of the Yan State were from the Qi State.

"Please also ask the two of you to keep it secret, the matter of attacking Yan Guo can't be leaked out, if Yan Guo is prepared, it will be a big trouble." Yang Ming looked at the two 'old guys' who were silent, and reminded them.

"What kind of trouble will Yan Guo have if he is prepared? The combat power of the Yan army is really vulnerable. Sima Shang subconsciously said, Zhao Jun and Yan Jun have many confrontations, what kind of combat power Yan Jun is, can he not know?

The Yan army lacked even the ability to cause trouble to the Zhao army, let alone the Qin army, which was stronger than the Zhao army?

"Because the Yan Kingdom fled, if the news leaked, let the Yan Kingdom transfer most of the domestic resources to the land of Liaodong, in a short period of time, I have no interest in crossing the Yan Mountain and crossing thousands of miles to capture Liaodong." Yang Ming said.

It is really not difficult for Qin to destroy Yan State, and its difficulty may be a little greater than that of Yan State, and this point is not to say that Yan State's army is more capable of fighting than South Korea's army, but that compared to South Korea, which has nowhere to go and can only face Qin, Yan State has greater strategic depth, which can provide Yan State with a place to escape.

If you want to destroy the Yan State, for the Qin State, the trouble that the Yan army can cause is very small, and the only trouble is how to intercept the essence of the Yan State to the south of Yan Mountain.

"Now if we leak such news, we will really become the sinners of Zhao Di through the ages." Li Mu and Sima Shang glanced at each other, both with wry smiles on their faces.

Yang Ming had already made Yan Guo's arrangements clear, what else could they say? It's just that it is not only Yan Guo that has been arranged, but also Zhao Di and the more than four million people of Zhao Di.

"Therefore, the matter of selecting troops, please bother the two of you, and choose the best among the elite soldiers like the former Zhao State Border Cavalry, and you will definitely be able to build an existence that does not lose the dragon cavalry forbidden army." Yang Ming said.

Yang Ming had never doubted Zhao Jun's strength, especially with the addition of Li Mu.

"Even if it's just for the sake of Yan Guo's goods, we don't dare to have the slightest slackness." Li Mudao, the wry smile on his expression when he spoke had gradually turned into firmness.

For Li Mu, there is no possibility of Zhao Guo existing, but the people of Zhao Di still have to live.

As for Yan Guo, then I can only be sorry, because I am a Zhao person. Li Mu said to himself in his heart, and the last trace of discoloration in his expression also turned into firmness.

It is undoubtedly more troublesome to select the elite from the former side horses, because they are all elites, so Yang Ming directly stayed in Donghuan for three days before selecting enough soldiers and horses he wanted, as for the establishment of this army of soldiers and horses, it is naturally like when Yang Ming was on the Great Wall in the south, with the elite of Yulinwei as the force to lead this new army, the source of soldiers can be Zhao people, but the officers at all levels must be people who are truly loyal to Yang Ming and the Qin State.

Human nature, who can say that they can completely grasp it, people who think they control human nature will often be stabbed in the back by human nature, prevent problems before they happen, and add a few shackles on top of human nature, so that people can rest assured.

Since then, the 7,000 Donghuan Army, the 3,000 Southern Great Wall Army, and a total of 10,000 Zhaodi New Army have been officially formed.

It's just that when Yang Ming returned to Zhao Capital with a good mood, he was hit head-on by an edict from Qin Wangzheng.

"The king wants me to survey, map and design Zhaodi's gallop system and water conservancy project?" Looking at the edict in his hand, Yang Ming was speechless for a while.

Of course, this kind of thing is not too difficult for Yang Ming, but it is not difficult if it is not difficult, it is troublesome, and it is very troublesome, but Yang Ming is the person who is most afraid of trouble.

"This matter is the most important thing in Zhao Di in the next year, as long as it is handed over to the Captain of the Protectors, you can rest assured." Looking at Yang Ming with a bitter face, Qin Wangzheng's mood was much better.

Sure enough, the quickest and quickest way for a person to be happy is to base one's own happiness on the suffering of others.

"Captain of the Protectors, the widow thinks, you must not let the widow down, right?" Qin Wangzheng had already stood up as he spoke, and Gai Nie and Zhao Gao were close behind him.

"There are still some private matters to deal with on the widow's side, so let's start working on it as soon as possible." Qin Wangzheng only left Yang Ming with such a sentence, and he had already walked out of the courtyard.

"Trouble." Yang Ming looked at the edict in his hand, and roughly thought about how he would spend the next two months, but in this scorching summer, he had to travel all over the Zhao country, such a thing is really, the exploitation potential of Qin Wangzheng is really breathtaking, no wonder in the future, people in the world can be forced to rebel, no wonder it can make Qin people want to choose again.

However, there are a number of good hands in the army for things like surveying and mapping, and Zheng Guo is still in Xianyang, and the people of the Yin and Yang family may also be able to use it, such as those in the Ministry of Water.

There is also Meng Tian, who will be able to preside over the construction of the Great Wall in the future, and his ability in engineering seems to be not to be underestimated.
