……

Daqin.

"Your Majesty, the Xiong Kingdom can survive under the attack of the Tunguska Kingdom and the Xiongnu Kingdom on both sides, and fight back, it is really not simple, far beyond expectations."

Meng Yi's eyes were solemn, and a trace of incredulity flashed in his eyes.

According to the original plan, the Xiongnu destroyed the Bear State, and then was destroyed by the Tunguska, and Daqin could send a large army to take the opportunity to pick peaches, but he did not expect to be taken away by the Bear State.

"If anything can be expected, then wouldn't my Great Qin be invincible for a long time, and it would be normal for an accident to occur."

Although Ying Zheng was also a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart.

The success rate of the strategist's advice, if it can have three percent, it can be famous through the ages, and it is called the unparalleled national warrior, and the legendary ghost valley has also failed several times.

No one is truly stupid, and it is impossible to be at the mercy of anyone.

"Your Majesty, do you need to send an army to hunt the bear country?" A cold light flashed in Meng Yi's eyes, and he said viciously.

These rewards should have belonged to Daqin, but they were obviously taken away, so how could there be no reason not to take revenge.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, you should not act rashly, the minister saw a trace of schadenfreude in Hua Yu's eyes yesterday, but unfortunately no matter how much he forced a confession, he didn't say it."

Without waiting for Brother Zheng to speak, Zhang Han took the lead in speaking.

In addition to being responsible for the development of Shaofu, he is also responsible for interrogating Hua Yu, and in recent days, he has clearly felt the changes from Hua Yu.

After Hua Yu learned the news of the volcanic ash, he subconsciously showed his joy, and tried his best to hide it after reacting, but if he wanted to disguise himself in front of these old foxes, it was naturally a fool's dream.

It's a pity that Zhang Han can only guess that Hua Yu has hidden the secret, what it is, I don't know, he just has countless experiences, not an immortal

"Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the population of the Xiong Country is not large, and there will be countless casualties after the war."

"In the opinion of the minister, you can send a team of 10,000 people to see if there is a chance to succeed."

Wang Jian and Feng Zheng said in unison.

The Bear Country has nearly 200 million people, if they can be destroyed, the reward will be so rich that it will definitely make people crazy, and Rao is a little unbearable with their concentration.

"There is no order in this matter, no one is allowed to send troops without authorization, and if it violates the holy order, it will be beheaded without forgiveness." Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered for a moment, indifferent to the extreme.

Everyone thinks that Daqin should make a move, and this is where the biggest problem lies.

When everyone can see through a game, there must be a conspiracy hidden in it, but unfortunately he knows too little information to know where the conspiracy of this game is, but he believes in his prediction.

Wang Jian wanted to say something more, but when he saw the eyes of the First Emperor, he closed his mouth in amusement.

"Your Majesty, the minister has arranged 30,000 post stations on four highways, and each supply station has 100 tons of water, 100 tons of grain and grass, and medical supplies, which can ensure a protracted war."

Zhang Han took a deep breath, took out the map, pointed to it and whispered.

After Yingtian destroyed Gaul, he had obtained four million-meter highways, and Yingzheng ordered him to prepare for a long-term war, which took nearly 100 days and was finally completed.

"It's still not enough, continue to build some, I have a hunch, this war is much longer than I imagined, under the national war system, everyone's lives will be bound to the country, and the people will work together, Hua Yu is a minority after all." Ying Zheng said meaningfully.

The national war system and ordinary wars seem to be the same, but the essence is very different.

In ancient wars, as long as the enemy army gained the upper hand, it would be defeated, and the court lost the heart of resistance from top to bottom.

The national war system is different, once the traverser and the national army die, the country will be destroyed, so all the people will resist desperately, and it will be much more fierce than imagined.

There will also be traitors like Hua Yu, but they are still a minority.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, some time ago, Langya County, Huiji County, Minzhong County, Linzi County, and Jiujiang County have just harvested 10 million tons of grain and grass, and they are on their way."

"Coupled with the grain and grass rewarded by the system before, as well as the reserve grain in the treasury, the total has reached 20 million tons, even if it is no longer cultivated, it is enough for 40 million people in Daqin to supply for a year."

Zhang Han's voice was categorical, and his chest was slammed.

Great Qin has Yingtian as a traverser, and his development speed far exceeds that of the Six Kingdoms, and under the deterrence of Great Qin's strong strength, many people in the Six Kingdoms will naturally not resist desperately.

Knowing that it was a mortal situation, what did they do if they resisted, and there was no national war system at that time, so it was impossible for the people of the Six Kingdoms to really be loyal to the imperial courts.

As a result, in the process of unifying the six countries, the loss of grain, grass and population was much smaller.

In addition, the invention of fertilizer made Daqin have no sweet potato and corn seeds, but there is no shortage of grain and grass.

"Lingmi, can you arrange it?" Ying Zheng bowed slightly, and his voice was slightly solemn.

Ling rice is more important to Daqin than ordinary grain.

"The minister has selected thirty fields and carried out various tests, and has specially found people to plant them, and the army guards them, but it is estimated that it will take three or four months to mature." Zhang Han smiled bitterly.

According to the system, the yield of Lingmi is ten times that of ordinary grain, but the maturity time remains the same, and ordinary grain and grass are about three crops a year, and Lingmi should be about the same.

"It's only three or four months, and it's not very long."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and said calmly.

Then, Meng Yi and Feng Zheng stood up in turn and began to report what had happened in recent days.

The real core secret will not be announced in the court, all the henchmen will be summoned to discuss in private, and the content on TV is basically a fool.

Ordinary officials in the imperial court are only responsible for maintaining basic operations, nothing more, and are not qualified to know too many secrets.

When a few people returned, outside the imperial study, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and everyone subconsciously looked up.

Bang!

Due to the excessive speed, the soldier accidentally fell off his horse and rolled on the ground several times in a row.

Zhang Han reacted the fastest, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the soldier up, smiling and comforting him that there was no need to be nervous.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the grain and grass sent from Langya County, Huiji County and other places have an accident on the road." The soldier couldn't wait to say thanks without thanks.

After speaking, Zhang Han raised his head suddenly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The route of transporting grain and grass was planned by him personally, in the hinterland of Great Qin, foreign enemies will never be able to enter, which means that it must be plundered from within, but the problem is that the Great Qin State is peaceful and peaceful, and there are almost no bandits.

"Speak slowly, don't rush."

Wang Jian picked up his teacup and handed it to the soldiers, without a single shelf.

The soldier didn't care about the excuse, poured a large mouthful of water into his mouth, and calmed down a little, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the coastal counties, yesterday there was a gray snowfall, covering all the land, and most of the grain and grass transported were damaged, and they could no longer be eaten. ”

Gray snow?

Zhang Han was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed on his face, and the next second, as if he had thought of something, he stood up suddenly, and a trace of incredulity flashed in his eyes.

Ying Zheng ordered him to tear up the letter and put it directly on the table for everyone to see.

After reading the contents of the letter clearly, the faces of everyone present changed suddenly.

"It's ...... Volcanic ash! ”

Zhang Han and Meng Yi glanced at each other and exclaimed in unison.

More than ten years ago, the volcano in Shu County erupted once, causing a lot of casualties, and the two of them dealt with it, and they were extremely impressed by the gray snow.

"According to the letter, the ash covers almost all the coastal counties, and this is definitely not the power of an ordinary volcanic eruption." Meng Yi frowned.

There are records about volcanoes in ancient books, but after all, they are ancient, and there is no clear explanation of the power of volcanoes and various indicators, so they can only be explored slowly.

"The county guards in various places say that they are floating from the sea, the coastline, the sea, everywhere, maybe overseas islands......" Zhang Han said to himself.

As if thinking of something, he jerked towards the map.

"Your Majesty, there has been news from fishermen on the seashore claiming to have heard an explosion, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The herald shrank his head and whispered.

Zhang Han was instantly resolute and said, "Your Majesty, it should be that Meng Tian accidentally detonated the native volcano there when he was fighting with Sakura, so the volcanic ash drifted across the ocean and fell to my Great Qin." ”

It's a pity that there is no traverser here, otherwise future generations will be shocked to death when they look at this scene, just from a few words, so much information can be deduced, and the deduction ability is terrifying.

Zhang Han's face changed, and he became extremely ugly.

Under the cover of volcanoes, all the land will be deprived of life in a short period of time, and the people living in the coastal counties will have to move to a safe place.

Volcanic ash is extremely harmful to the human body.

"I don't know what happened to Meng Tian." A trace of worry flashed across Meng Yi's face.

Judging from the system prompt, Meng Tian extinguished the cherry blossoms, but it is difficult to say whether he can escape and come back.

"It should be able to get out of the way, Shaofu has modified those warships, and after the sails and steam engines, they can be converted into hot air balloons in a short time." Zhang Han gave everyone a reassurance.

Seeing that Meng Tian was fine, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and then brushed their hands and looked towards the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng is the backbone, the past is dispensable, only need to decide the direction of the big development, but at the critical moment, only he can control the scene

"Chuan Zhen ordered to let Nanjun, Chen County, Handan County, as well as Xiang County and Yuyang County be ready to receive refugees from coastal and other places.

"The remaining part of the grain and grass escorted this time will be directly distributed on the spot and do not need to be transported to the granary."

"From this day onwards, for one year, all people will be exempt from taxation and forced labor, and all the people will no longer need to pay taxes."

"Wang Qian, you order Wang Ben to mobilize a part of the soldiers to carry out the work of dispersal to prevent enemy troops from sneaking in and sowing discord."

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, was clearly organized, and commanded word by word.

At such times, the most important thing to do is to reassure the people.

Different from the busy and prosperous world of later generations, the ancient people really wanted very little, and it was enough to have a place to live, eat enough, and live, and nothing else.

Meng Yi held a pen and paper in his hand, wrote down the order carefully, and then turned his head away without hesitation.

Brother Zheng's execution is convincing, and in just a few minutes, everything is arranged.

"It's a pity that so much grain and grass has been wasted." Zhang Han clenched the letter tightly and sighed softly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Man-made disasters can be defended, but there is really no solution to such natural disasters.

Ben was ready for a complete war with the Mauryan Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the heavens would not fulfill people's wishes.

"There is no need to be discouraged, the volcanic ash will make the surrounding grass ungrowing and dead at first, but when it merges with the underground soil, it will make the land more fertile, I guess Meng Tian probably wants to take advantage of this opportunity to create a land suitable for growing spiritual rice, otherwise with his character, he would not have taken such a big risk."

Ying Zheng showed thoughtfulness.

If anyone is here, hearing this, I am afraid that I have to wonder if Brother Zheng really has a system.

Brother Zheng was not at the scene, but he almost guessed Meng Tian's thoughts.

"If it is a normal time, it really has little impact, but at this time, I am afraid that the minister will cause instability among the people." Zhang Han's eyes were full of solemnity.

In ancient times, grain and grass were really too important, and with a direct loss of 10 million tons of grain and grass, Daqin could still maintain basic operation, which was already remarkable, and if it was replaced by other forces, I was afraid that it would be directly paralyzed.

"But again, this is not a good opportunity to show weakness." Ying Zheng turned around, sat on the stool, picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, meaning to say.

Yes?

Zhang Han was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

When his eyes met with Brother Zheng, he was instantly empowered, "Your Majesty, the minister understands, and the minister will arrange it." ”

Zhang Han's eyes were shining, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly ran out.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han's distant back, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

In his life, he has encountered so many ups and downs, like the principle of crossing a river, innumerable, just a little volcanic ash, what qualifications do he have to move him?

Don't say that the national strength is halved, even if you return to the Six Nations to compete for hegemony, it's a big deal to start again.

……

Bang!

Zhang Han kicked open the cell door, picked up the scissors next to him with his right hand, came to Hua Yu's side, opened his mouth with his left hand, and cut a cut on Hua Yu's tongue without hesitation.

In an instant, countless amounts of blood flowed down the corners of Hua Yu's mouth, and a scream worse than killing a pig sounded in Hua Yu's mouth.

made the netizens in the live broadcast room numb and frightened.

That is, after three months of torture, Hua Yu's body has become resistant, and if he is replaced by someone else, he is afraid that he will die of pain directly.

"You are really so insidious, you know that the eruption of the Cherry Blossom Volcano has brought volcanic ash to my Great Qin, causing hundreds of people to be displaced, why don't you say it, why don't you tell this official!"

"You know that because of this disaster, my Great Qin has lost more than 10 million tons of grain and grass, and in just one day, one-third of the Qin people have become homeless and hungry."

Zhang Han's eyes were red, his anger was burning, and his anger was like thunder, which made people suspect that if it weren't for Hua Yu, he would still have some use value, I am afraid that he would be killed directly by the knife.

And this is what Brother Zheng just said about showing weakness to the enemy, taking advantage of this opportunity to tell the countries that the strength of Great Qin is very weak through the live broadcast room, so as to lure the enemy deeper.

After this difficulty, Great Qin's national strength did weaken a little, but it was far less than half, and the grain and grass stored in the treasury were enough to hold out in a defensive battle.
