Chapter 282 Leave it to the First Emperor to decide
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. It is very possible to prepare the required medicinal materials and doctors from Xianyang City and transport them to Baiyue. Not to mention the long journey, accidents are prone to occur along the way." One of the Nine Qing servants said,
The servant is in charge of the royal horses of the palace and the horse administration of the country.
He said these words with great weight, because because of Ma Zheng's relationship, he knew what the environment in Da Qin was like.
Although the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there were many bandits and natural disasters. In addition, the First Emperor stole nearly half of the world's wealth for the elixir of life, and all the hard labor made the people of the world miserable.
Therefore, if the things of the imperial court are transported on the road, they need to be guarded by an army. Without an army, they may become the cargo of a bandit.
Just as everyone sighed, Li Si and three others walked into the cabinet.
The eight people immediately stood up and saluted Li Si and Feng Quji at the same time: "I have met Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Li."
Feng Quji waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Feng." everyone said.
In the Qin Dynasty, the right was respected, and the right was more noble than the left prime minister. Therefore, Feng Quji respected Li Si, and Feng Quji was the real leader of the officials.
It's just that Li Si was more valued by Ying Zheng, while Feng Quji was hostile to Ying Zheng because of his relationship with a group of nobles.
It's just that now Ying Zheng knows that he can't get around the nobles, so instead of being unable to get around, it's better to be more relaxed and use them directly for his own use.
Feng Quji knew these things, but he was still very happy that he had acquired the skill of making salt and was now in charge of the weaving and clothing workshops.
He thought that Ying Zheng had changed his attitude towards him, so in order to prove himself, he first thought of political affairs.
This made Li Si and Meng Yi a little confused. Since Feng Quji proposed it, they could not object. Once they objected, they would become people who ignored political affairs.
Especially Li Si. He is a leftist prime minister. How could he ignore political affairs? His reputation as a leftist prime minister would not be bad if word spread.
After everyone sat down, Feng Quji asked: "My lords, has anything big happened recently, or something that you can't solve?"
Fu Zikang immediately said: "Prime Minister Feng. It's true. I just saw General Wang Ben's memorial. At this time, many soldiers were sick. In addition, the people of Xiou Mountain were often harassed, which made the situation very difficult.
Therefore, General Wang Ben hoped that the imperial court could mobilize a large number of medicinal materials and doctors to be sent to Xiou to treat the soldiers. "
"It's so important. We should collect medicinal materials immediately." Feng Quji said.
"Prime Minister Feng," Fu Zikang said, "It is not difficult to collect medicinal materials. The difficulty lies in the fact that far away water cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. It is a long way from Xianyang to Baiyue. The medicinal materials have not yet been transported to Xiou, so many people may be worried about it. 33
Even if the medicinal materials can be successfully delivered to Xiou, I am afraid that it will be too late and the soldiers will be sick. "
Feng Quji frowned slightly. He had never thought of this. Ever since he went to the village, he had no idea about the distance of the road.
Because Qin An once said that it only takes one day to reach the Maurya Dynasty from Da Qin, or even one day is not needed. It has to cross the entire Western Region. Even if it is non-stop, without eating, drinking, resting or sleeping, and traveling day and night, then It may take a year or two to arrive.
"This is indeed a very troublesome matter. How did you discuss it?" Feng Quji asked.
"We haven't started discussing it yet," Fu Zikang said.
Taichang said: "Prime Minister Feng, it is better to let General Wang Ben solve this matter on the spot. This has always been the case in the past."
Problems that the court cannot solve for a while can be solved by the army on the spot.
Now it is definitely too late to send the medicinal materials, so Wang Ben can only rely on Wang Ben to solve the problem on the spot.
"This is indeed a method." Feng Quji looked at Li Si and asked with a smile: "Li Xiang, Lord Meng Yi, do you have a better way? As Lord Fu Zikang said, distant water cannot quench near thirst.
The journey to transport medicinal materials from Xianyang City is too long.
It is better to let General Wang Ben solve it on the spot. Whether the problem can be solved is still a problem. "
Li Si and Meng Yi looked at each other, this question was really a problem.
"Prime Minister Feng, it's hard to talk about this matter." Li Si sighed, "Sir, he just said that the Qin Dynasty unified the land of Baiyue, and did not go into the details.
This issue may affect the overall situation. "
"I thought about it too," Feng Quji said, "That's why I asked this question. If we don't know the outcome, we can issue an order now and let General Wang Ben solve it on the spot."
Meng Yi said: "That's right, we just pretend we don't know about this and let General Wang Ben solve it on the spot.
If you don’t know, how can it affect the overall situation? "
"It seems to be the case." Feng Quji said.
Li Xiang said: "To be prudent, let's leave it to His Majesty. Don't forget that it was His Majesty who gave the final order, not us."
Feng Quji nodded and said: "That's right, even if your Majesty doesn't know, you can still go to court and ask the civil and military officials, and finally get the best answer.
But before we hand over the problem to His Majesty, we first tell General Wang Ben and ask him to solve it on the spot. The imperial court is already collecting medicinal materials. "
"Good." Li Si said.
Meng Yi also nodded in agreement, and the others had no problem.
Immediately, Feng Quji and Li Si handed over this issue to Ying Zheng.
"Besides this matter, are there other things?" Feng Quji asked, "Tell me all the important things."
Fu Zikang said: "Reporting to Prime Minister Feng, there was a strong wind in Langya County, which caused the destruction of people's houses and a large number of people fled to Linzi County.
The governor of Linzi County hoped to drive this people to Xianyang City to avoid being exploited by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and becoming a threat to Da Qin. "
"No." Meng Yi said, "Sir, I have always said that China is unified, and now it is the world of Great Qin, and there are no longer six countries.
Therefore, if the victims of Langya County want to go to Linzi, they can go to Linzi, and if they want to come to Xianyang City, they can come to Xianyang City.
However, I personally recommend direct disaster relief to Langya County.
Prime Minister Feng, you can send people to Langya County to build clothing workshops and weaving workshops. Prime Minister Li, you can also build workshops there for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
We can expand the scale of many workshops in the village and build additional workshops in Langya County.
And being close to the sea, we can use sea transportation to transport goods to Baiyue, and we can use land routes to transport goods to various parts of Daqin.
Langya County is simply the best place for business. "
Li Si and Feng Quji were stunned, as if that was really the case.
Meng Yi paused and continued: "Now that Langya County is hit by a disaster, there are a large number of victims. If we hire them.
This not only solved the problem of disaster relief for the court, but also solved the problem of building workshops for everyone. The most important thing was that the people did not have to travel long distances and leave their hometowns. "
Some people died, but not completely...
