Yao Xing knew that he was not so smart, and he had never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, so in major national affairs, Yao Xing never controlled his mouth and didn't say a word.

However, in the second half of the year, Qin's grain harvest failed in a large area, and the grain harvested was less than one-fifth of that of previous years, and the people were panicked. When Yao Xing learned about this time, his heart was full of guilt.

The history of the Qin State Yao Xing is a little better, Qin Wangzheng ascended the throne in the third year of a large-scale famine, and finally survived a year, and the second year encountered a locust plague. The catastrophe was followed by the pandemic, and the corpses of the Qin State were everywhere. But Yaoxing has been too comfortable in the palace for several years, but he has forgotten such an important matter, and now that it is coming, he is completely unprepared.

Lü Buwei was bent on expanding his territory and was not willing to spend time dealing with disaster years. But he knew that Yao Xing would definitely have an idea, so in order to prevent Yao Xing from directly proposing to Zhao Zheng and something he didn't want to see, he entered the palace to see Yao Xing when the disaster had just spread to Xianyang.

After first adding fuel to the consequences of the disaster, he asked, "Does the county lord have a good plan?" ”

Where is there any good strategy for Yaoxing, he has never seen a locust plague in modern times, and how can he know the method of governance.

However, there may be a way to do the current food shortage, but Lü Buwei may not agree.

"But there is a way, although it is not the best policy, but it can solve this year's disaster." Yaoxing glanced at Lu Buwei and opened his mouth tentatively.

"Tell me quickly!" Lu Buwei was also worried about the people and couldn't take care of Yao Xing's attitude.

Yao Xing said: "Right now, only the Qin State is seriously affected, and the other countries are not serious, or even have no disasters. The food we need can be obtained from other countries. ”

Lü Buwei was overjoyed when he heard this, so that he did not need to suspend his plan to conquer various countries, and he could also relieve the danger of the people.

But Lü Buwei Zhixi was interrupted by Yao Xing: "You can't attack the city, it takes more time to attack the city, and other countries may also counterattack, and the existing food in Qin is not enough to support a long war." Moreover, there is not much grain in various places now, and even if we take a city, it will not be enough to alleviate the famine of the people. ”

Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he figured out what Yao Xing meant, and immediately shook his sleeves and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"Do you know the current situation, the Qin State is already opposed to other countries, and it is impossible to use other means to get food from other countries. And once you regress, you will be bullied, and then you will retreat step by step, and you may even destroy the country! Lu Buwei said righteously.

In history, the Qin State was in dire straits because of the disaster for two consecutive years, and Zhao Zheng did not hesitate to order the rich merchants to exchange grain for the people in order to raise grain. Yaoxing didn't want to do this, if there was a better way, why sacrifice here.

"Then how will the Qin State survive this disaster? Only with the people can there be soldiers, and only with soldiers can the Qin country be in an invincible position. If all the people die of hunger, will the king still be king? ”

"I didn't say that the people would not be saved, but the territory that I had laid down by Daqin could not be returned, and the backbone of the king could not be bent down to anyone." Lu Buwei made a loud voice and did not give an inch.

Yao Xing thinks that as a king, it is okay to bow his head appropriately for the sake of countless people, but in the current situation, Yao Xing cannot persuade Zhao Zheng to bow his head. Otherwise, Zhao Zheng's only little bit of royal dignity will be greatly reduced, after all, Zhao Zheng is not in power now, and his throne is fully consolidated and supported by Lü Buwei and Yingxi.
