"Perhaps, we can send troops to attack the city, seize the granaries in the city, and exchange the city for a large amount of grain for the king of the kingdom. If we could, we wouldn't have killed so many people and preserved our national strength, and if we couldn't, we would continue to siege the city until we had enough food.

But in the same way, we captured the city, and the grain was transported back to Qin, and the local people had no food. So I think it's better to give those cities back, and they can be exchanged for food, otherwise the people will starve to death. ”

Yao Xing opened his mouth after thinking for a while, and at the same time he was asking Lu Buwei's opinion, after all, Zhao Zheng had never been in power, and most of the government was pinched by him. If he and Zhao Zheng have the same idea, it means that the monarch and the minister are single-minded, and if the idea is inconsistent, most of them are him trying to persuade Zhao Zheng. If Lu Buwei resolutely opposes, even if Yao Xing says that Zhao Zheng is moved, most of them will not succeed.

Lü Buwei paced with his hands behind his back, sighed after a few breaths, and said, "Since you insist on doing so, tell the king what you want!" ”

Yao Xing couldn't see his expression, but he had an intuition in his heart that Lu Buwei would not compromise so easily, and it was very likely that he had other plans.

For a while, Yao Xingling didn't know how to guess: "I don't know what the prime minister has to say, Yao Xing has also improved to the king." ”

"With your ingenuity, it is enough for Daqin to survive this disaster, and I believe in you." Lu Buwei looked like he was the shopkeeper, didn't care about it, and walked away slowly.

Yaoxing looked at his back and tore the veil angrily, this year is just a bad harvest, he can still be so leisurely, wait for next year's locust plague to pass, see if he is in a hurry!

Stomping his feet, Yao Xing had to go to see Zhao Zheng. Now he should be alone in his study!

Sure enough, Zhao Zheng sat alone at the desk and was stunned, and the bamboo slips on the table were written about this year's grain failure.

Yao Xing stepped forward and put away the bamboo slips, and said softly: "It's not uncommon for Daqin to encounter disasters, isn't it safe every time!" ”

"But every time, the people have been killed and injured countless times, and it will take two or three years for Daqin to return to normal." Zhao Zheng's tone was dull, which showed his heartache.

Yao Xing was a little distressed, walked behind Zhao Zheng, reached out and wrapped his hand around his neck and hugged him gently.

"Now, you have to figure out how to get the people through this famine safely, instead of basking in grief when you need to make decisions as a king."

Zhao Zheng turned his head sideways to Yao Xing and said, "The Qin State has been fighting for many years, and the grain in the granary has been transported to the battlefield, but now the granary is empty, and there is no grain for disaster relief. ”

"Now it is difficult for the Qin State to avoid the meticulous work of other countries, and the grain harvest failure cannot be concealed, and Liao Bo's caravan wants to transport grain back, but I am afraid that it will be difficult."

It's a good idea, even if it's hard. Although the Qin State is in a famine now, it is not so serious, and it is only as obvious as falling into the well between countries, even if you buy grain at a high price, as long as you can buy it, it is good.

Otherwise, next year's locust plague, the Qin State will be even more short of food, and I am afraid that other countries will unite and fall into the ground. At that time, even if you send troops to attack the city, you may not be able to grab much food, after all, the Qin State is warlike and known to all countries.

"I'll leave the palace in a while, and let Master's caravan think of a way, even if it costs a lot of money. Or pretend to be a caravan from another country to buy food, as long as it goes out of the border, you are not afraid that it will not be shipped back. Yao Xing comforted.
