Chapter 53, unveiling the recruitment order

Ziyou looked at Zhang Cang with some incredulity, this Zhang Cang in front of him was a person who could lie down and never sit, and he had waited here for two days and two nights for him?

"Let's not talk about that, junior brother come with me." Zhang Cang led the horse with one hand and Ziyou with the other, and walked towards Xianyang City.

Soon when he approached Xianyang, a scene of hungry people outside Xianyang City attracted Ziyou's attention, and Zhang Cang naturally saw Ziyou's strange appearance and said

"The Qin State suffered a locust plague and an epidemic of epidemics, and in order to relieve the famine, the King of Qin ordered all the people to pay a thousand stones, and they could pay a hundred to raise food."

"It seems that there is not much food to be provided." Ziyou said as he walked and looked at the people outside the city.

"That's right, this locust plague has swept the entire Qin State, although there is not much grain in the treasury, although those nobles and merchants have grain in their hands, they are all waiting to be sold at a price." Zhang Cang said

The Snow Girl and Concubine Yan looked through the car window at the miserable homeless people outside, their eyes were full of sympathy, these homeless people gathered here with their families, waiting for the daily soup kitchen, but the little food was also limited, each victim was yellow-faced, the figure was slender, and a little girl in tattered clothes was licking the empty broken bowl.

The Snow Maiden was a little unbearable and spoke

"Sir, let's help them."

Ziyou looked at the hungry people around him and didn't speak, the snow girl saw that Ziyou didn't speak and didn't say any more, and the group soon walked into Xianyang City, Ziyou was attracted by a lively scene, and a group of people kept talking about something around the notice.

"For the sake of the locust plague, the king of Qin ordered the recruitment of talents, issued a recruitment order, as long as the locust plague can be controlled and this notice is revealed, you can directly enter the palace to meet the king of Qin, and after the locust plague is completed, he will be rewarded with a title." Zhang Cang said.

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, Ziyou beside him was gone, Zhang Cang looked around and saw Ziyou in the crowd.

"Let Jean, let Jean...."Ziyou quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, ignoring the guards and the soldiers, walked directly to the notice, and tore off the list.

"Someone has unveiled the list!" The crowd was suddenly full of voices.

"Who is this? How dare such a young person unveil the list!? ”

"Silence!" The soldier guarding the notice shouted by beating the ground with the Changge in his hand, and waited until the people around him fell silent, and looked at Ziyou, who was older than him, and asked

"Do you know what this is?"

"Of course, the notice of the King of Qin recruiting talents to control the locust plague." Ziyou said lightly.

Looking at Ziyou's calm appearance, the soldier muttered a little in his heart, someone was brought to the main hall before, but he didn't say anything, the person was directly beheaded, and the soldier guarding the notice was also beaten with twenty sticks, so it was his turn to guard the notice with another person.

"Li Xin, do you want to ask again?" Another soldier whispered in the ear of a soldier named Shin.

"Ask again." Xin glanced at Wang Ben and said, although the twenty military sticks will not be fatal, they are also uncomfortable.

"Dare to ask what is the surname of the gentleman? What is the school? Shin asked.

"In Xia Ziyou, learn from Confucianism Xun Fuzi, are there any problems?" Ziyou stood in the crowd with a sign in his hand, and his voice was not loud, but it shocked all the whispers.

Then there was a bigger discussion, and everyone looked at Ziyou with a look of contempt in their eyes, but with some kind of expectation, Li Xin and Wang Ben were already dumbfounded, they naturally heard of Ziyou's name, or Wang Ben reacted quickly and pulled Li Xin's arm and said

"I don't know if it's Mr. Ziyou, please atone for your sins, we also ask Mr. to come with us in order not to delay disaster relief and rescue people."

"Yes, please atone for your sins." Li Xin also said.

"Don't blame those who don't know, can you let me bring my friends with me?" Ziyou pointed to Zhang Cang and the carriage.

Li Xin and Wang Ben looked at each other and said

"Absolutely."

Zhang Cang looked at Zi You, who was followed by the soldiers behind him with the list, his face was ugly, he knew that Zi You's character would definitely make a move, and he couldn't run away to give Zi You a hand, he was really cheap What books to read late at night, he would definitely not read late at night in the future, how good it would be to find a widow to contribute to the population growth of Qin State.

At this time, in the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng was wearing a robe and a crown, although he still looked a little immature, but his body exuded the majesty of the emperor, which made people dare not underestimate him, his face was a little gloomy at the moment, because of the problem of locust plague, the entire Qin State suffered a rare famine, and the court ordered to raise grain is just a drop in the bucket, and those who really have food in their hands did not donate grain, but waited for the price to sell.

Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military ministers below, the civil ministers were headed by Lu Buwei, and the military generals were headed by Wang Qi, a veteran.

"Isn't there a verdict on the locust plague?" Ying Zheng asked.

Standing minister, look at me, I see that no one dares to speak, Ying Zheng's face became even more ugly, and Lu Buwei walked out and said when he saw this

"Back to the king, the minister has asked people to go to various places to raise food for disaster relief, and now the disaster has been contained, but the locusts in the ground are still raging, I believe that as long as the locusts disperse, then help the victims."

Hearing Lü Buwei's words, Ying Zheng's heart was like being crushed by a stone, the locust plague in this era is like this, and he can only wait for the locusts to fade, and then give relief to the victims, and organize the victims to return to their hometowns to farm.

"How's the matter of raising food?"

"Half of the grain in the treasury has been distributed, and warehouses have been opened in various places to release grain, but it is only a symptom but not a cure, as for the matter of the king's order to raise grain, we are doing it, and some grain has been raised." Lu Buwei said.

Ying Zheng felt a sense of powerlessness, being on the throne and only watching his subjects suffer, but not being able to do anything.

"How's the recruitment order?" Ying Zheng asked.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and was also stunned, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to still expect the so-called recruitment order, the locust plague is not a natural disaster that can be done by manpower, the person who unveiled the list before was just a warlock in the name of sacrifice, and he wanted to collect money, but he poked the car and cracked.

Ying Zheng naturally knew that the recruitment order was useless, but he still hoped that it would have some effect, and at the same time he also wanted to use this locust plague to cultivate his own power, but unfortunately he tried to insert his cronies into the court, but they were all guarded by all parties in the court, and only some unimportant positions were occupied by his cronies.

"Report! Mr. Confucian Ziyou has unveiled the list! At this time, a soldier ran inside the Xianyang palace and shouted loudly.

"Report! Mr. Confucian Ziyou has unveiled the list! ”

The sound of unveiling the list resounded throughout the Xianyang Palace, and the ministers in the hall were stunned, and they all looked outside the hall, they didn't seem to believe their ears, someone unveiled the list again, and it was Mr. Confucian Ziyou.

After Ying Zheng lost his mind for a short time, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted

"Hurry up and let the soldiers who have been reported go to the temple!"

Lü Buwei glanced at the minister's reaction and retreated into the ranks of civil officials.

"Tell the king, Mr. Confucian Ziyou has issued a recruitment order in the east of the city."

"Are you indeed Mr. Confucian Ziyou?" Ying Zheng looked at the soldier and asked.

"Yes, the person who came called himself Mr. Ziyou, and at present, two soldiers, Wang Ben and Li Xin, are leading Mr. towards the main hall." The soldier said.

Hearing the names of Wang Ben and Li Xin, the two people in the military generals looked sideways, and then lowered their heads, and the two people in the civil officials looked at each other and didn't know what they were thinking about.
