Chapter 57, Chang'an Jun and Ji Xiang

For a time, the court of the Qin State gradually contained the impact of the locust plague according to Ziyou's strategy, and the Qin State showed a look of joy after the disaster, of course, some people were happy and some people were unhappy.

Chang'an Junfu.

Chang'an Jun Chengcheng's face was gloomy, he was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, listening to the staff below talking about the benevolence, righteousness and love of the people of King Qin all over the country now, the green tendons on his wrists rose slightly, and the jade pendant in his hand was suddenly crushed.

"That's enough." Cheng Huan said sharply, and the staff below suddenly knelt down and didn't dare to speak.

"Benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, and his reputation will be taken by him at that time." Cheng Huan kicked over the table in front of him and said, he is very angry now, as the son of the first prince, he was told that he would be the future king of Qin at birth, but Ying Zheng's sudden return disrupted everything, he didn't care at the beginning, he didn't believe that he could be robbed of the throne by this person who had been a proton in Zhao for thirteen years, and the relationship between the two brothers was still good, but later Ying Zheng became the king of Qin with the support of Lu Buwei, and since that moment there was only competition between their brothers.

After the rumors between Yingzheng and Lü Buwei appeared, Cheng Huan was even more resentful in his heart, he thought that this was a trick by Lü Buwei and Yingzheng, that is, to usurp the Qin country, when a person has a fair and righteous reason to desire something, this desire will be infinitely stimulated, with the support of his grandmother Empress Dowager Huayang, Cheng Huan began to gradually expand his power and influence, and began to work towards the throne step by step.

Wooing courtiers, cultivating their own cronies, sending people to privately publicize Yingzheng's improper identity and other means were used together, which made Yingzheng's throne more and more unstable, but I didn't expect that now Ziyou's three strategies for controlling locusts have made Yingzheng win a lot of people's hearts.

"What do these untouchables know? A group of untouchables gave them some favor, and they wagged their tails like dogs. Cheng Huan scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this may not be a bad thing." A staff member appeared in the hall and said.

"Oh? Sir, let's hear it. Cheng Huan suppressed his anger and said, this staff member was found for him by his grandmother Empress Dowager Huayang, he is quite talented, he can get to this staff member to this day is very great, Cheng Huan still respects this staff member very much in his heart.

"The king now uses the form of merit monuments to force the great clans to donate food, but who wants to give away their own food for nothing? Although they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, they were still quite dissatisfied in private, these big clans had a lot of power in their hands, and if the king sent someone to try to win them over at this time, they would definitely serve the king.

The king has let Ziyou be in charge of controlling locusts, although his reputation is resounding throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but he has no foundation in the Qin State, and he has offended these big clans, as long as the king slightly signals these big clans to use some means, isn't this so-called three strategies for controlling locusts become a joke? The staff bowed and said.

"But in this way, my people of Great Qin are still in dire straits?" Cheng Huan said with some hesitation, although he wanted to compete with Ying Zheng for the throne, he didn't want to damage the national strength of the Qin State because of this.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, those who have become great things are ruthless, but it is just to temporarily let these people suffer more from the locust plague, and wait until the king's three measures to control the locusts are ineffective, but instead aggravate the disaster, what do you think the courtiers will think? What do the people think? When the time comes, let the queen mother reprimand the king, and then let the ministers who have taken refuge in the king jointly play to force him to abdicate, and the king will follow the trend, even if he is not forced off the throne in the end, the king not only gets the support of these big clans, but also wins the hearts of the people, why not? The staff touched his beard and said.

"Then according to what Mr. said, as for the matter of contacting the big clan, Mr. still needs to worry about it." Cheng Huan no longer hesitated, he was indeed moved, and it was just a sacrifice of some people.

"Before I came, I had already agreed with Shangqing Mishuo that as long as the king was willing, he could come forward to contact those dissatisfied clans." The staff said with confidence.

"Shangqing Mi Shuo, the descendant of the former four noble Xincheng Jun Mi Rong." Cheng Huan's eyes narrowed slightly.

At the beginning, his grandfather Qin Zhaoxiang King drove out the four nobles, but after all, the four nobles contributed to the Qin State, but they were only expelled to the fiefdom, and they were not all killed, the four nobles were powerful and powerful, and the foundation was deep, and most of the court were their people, although they were weakened, but the power was still not to be underestimated, this Mi Shuo is one of the three heads of the Chu system of the court today, and Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun are in charge of the Chu system of the Qin court.

"Yes, of course, this Shangqing also has a request for you." Said the staff.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The corners of Cheng Huan's mouth raised slightly and said, this is what he was waiting for, if the other party helped him for no reason, he would still be a little worried.

"I hope that after the king ascends to the throne, he will inherit the title of Xinchengjun." The staff arched his hand and said.

"Hahahaha, of course, if Benjun really ascends the throne, they will be from the dragon's work, and Benjun can even help him regain the prestige of Xinchengjun at the beginning." Cheng Huan laughed.

"Then I'll contact Shangqing immediately." The staff bowed and left.

................................................................

At this time, Ziyou didn't know Chang'anjun's movements, he took Li Xin, Wang Ben and Zhao Gao to look at Zhang Cang, who was in charge of counting and distributing grain and grass.

Li Xi, Wang Ben and Zhao Gao have already looked stupid, in the past two days, the big clan and the people have raised countless amounts of food, so it takes a lot of people to record and review these grains, and Ziyou directly pulled Zhang Cang here, and then in the incredible eyes of everyone, Zhang Cang not only accurately recorded the food donated by each family, but also began to distribute these grains according to the disaster situation in various places.

"Is this really what a human being can do?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Cang and muttered quietly.

If you just record these are nothing, the disaster-stricken place near Xianyang has already had feedback after getting the grain, according to the grain distribution calculated by Zhang Cang, there is no waste of these grains, and there is no lack of the slightest, it can be said that they do their best, which has to make the three of them feel very surprised.

What's more critical is that they saw with their own eyes that Zhang Cang completed this task in less than a day.

"Don't be surprised, my senior brother can be described as a celestial in one of the realms, and no one in the whole world can compare with him." Ziyou said strangely, you must know that Zhang Cang is known as a scheming minister in later generations, and when he was the prime minister under Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he used mathematics to govern the whole world in an orderly manner, not to mention the current problem of distributing food.

"I was really cheated to death by you, isn't it good for me to go to sleep when I have this time?" Zhang Cang looked at the leisurely Ziyou on the side and said.

"Senior brother, you can work harder, this is for the sake of those people who have been affected by the disaster, you can work hard for a few more days, the king knows your merits, but he is ready to reward food, wine and beauty." Ziyou said.

"Beauty?" Zhang Cang was a little disdainful.

"It is said that there was a beautiful widow among them." Ziyou accurately pinched Zhang Cang's weakness.

Zhang Cang looked at the requests for the remaining disaster areas on the table and Ziyou asked him to calculate how much food he needed to support these people through this year, Zhang Cang rolled up his sleeves and said

"Look, I'm only going to perform once!"
