"Bring it here!"
There was no point in just guessing. Ying Feiyu stood up and walked over, opening the telegram.
The old guys followed behind one by one, quietly poking their heads to watch!
Feeling the several pairs of eyes behind him and the huge breathing like a buffalo, Ying Feiyu immediately turned his head and gave them a warning look!
"Um...well...there are so many mosquitoes in this house, it's so annoying!"
After being discovered, Zhang Han quickly changed his gaze and waved his hands back and forth, pretending to drive away mosquitoes.
"No! In addition to mosquitoes, there are also nasty flies. One just landed on His Highness the Crown Prince. I was just trying to get rid of it! Hehe!"
Although Kang Anping usually reacts slowly, he followed Zhang Han's excuse and slightly changed it, and it sounded quite reasonable to him.
"What about you?"
Ying Feiyu smiled solemnly and looked at Feng Quji, Wang Ben, Meng Yi and others.
"Um...we...?"
Suddenly being called by name, several people hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time.
There is no way, they have already dealt with the flies and mosquitoes. It would be too bad to make such an excuse again!
"Okay, don't talk about those useless things. His Highness the Prince will naturally tell us after reading the telegram!"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at everyone and said calmly.
In fact, he didn't know whether Xiaoshota would tell them, but he was also curious.
Curious about what is written on it?
But I was too embarrassed to look behind him with a sullen look on my face like the old guys, so I could only use this provoking method!
"Oh...! Yes, yes, yes, look at our brains. We were so focused on driving away mosquitoes for His Highness the Crown Prince that we actually forgot about the telegram!"
"Isn't that right? General Han sent a telegram from thousands of miles away. There must be something important, right?"
How could the veterans not understand what Ying Zheng meant?
He quickly echoed the words and sat back obediently in his seat, pretending to be enthusiastic and ready to listen!
Ying Zheng also blinked his slightly cloudy old eyes and stared at him!
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't plan to tell you!"
However, under everyone's expectant gazes, Ying Feiyu took the telegram and went back to his seat to sit down, without further ado.
Ying Zheng and several ministers looked at each other in confusion.
"Um... Your Highness, you see, although General Han has only been in the court for a short time, he is the mainstay of our Great Qin. We are all thinking about him after he has been out for so long. Do you see... is it... that he will also be telegraphed?" The content is read to us, and we feel relieved!"
Zhang Han rolled his eyes and played the emotional card.
"Yes, yes, we all miss General Han!"
The veterans also nodded repeatedly, calling each one "General Han" and calling the other "kind".
"No need, Han Xin didn't send the telegram just to chat about family matters!"
Ying Feiyu's casual words made the veterans even more curious.
If Han Xin only sent greetings, then they really weren't interested anymore. They were just curious because what he said was not commonplace!
"Okay, you kid, stop being so pretentious and say it quickly!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help his curiosity, but he didn't want to be as coy as the old guys, so he gave orders directly with a fierce face.
"Even if my son says it, can my father solve it?"
It's not that Ying Feiyu looked down upon them. With the contents of the telegram, they couldn't even think of a solution with their stupid minds.
"How do you know we can't solve it if you don't tell me? Besides, the six ministers have gathered here, so no matter what the problem is, it will be easily solved!"
"Ahem...!"
After receiving praise from Ying Zheng, Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others coughed slightly to attract the attention of the young lady.
At the same time, he straightened his back and seemed very proud!
"Okay then! Since my father has said so, I will read the content sent back by Han Xin to everyone...!"
Ying Feiyu opened the note helplessly, opening and closing his mouth, "The army encountered a locust plague in Nalanda and stopped moving forward!"
"Encountered a locust plague?"
"Hey...! Isn't this difficult to handle?"
"The locust plague is overwhelming. If the army moves rashly, the locusts will follow if we can't protect them all!"
"Well! It's a small thing to eat the food and fodder of a large army. What will happen if you bite all the soldiers...?"
After hearing this, the old guys took a deep breath and their facial features became tangled together.
Although Xianyang City has never experienced a locust plague, Guanzhong and Jiangnan have experienced several large-scale locust plagues before this!
The imperial court could not think of any other way besides arranging food supplies to provide relief to the victims!
"Alas! Everything went smoothly in the war, but unexpectedly there was a locust plague!"
Ying Zheng also frowned and was at a loss to do anything.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The locusts won't stay in the same place for too long! They will leave on their own after eating all the food there!"
Feng Quji raised his hands and said based on his previous experience.
"Yes! What Feng Shangshu said makes sense! Once the locusts fly away, the army can move forward again!"
"General Cao has just met General Han, and the supplies he sent are enough for them to eat in the city for a while! I will order people to prepare supplies tomorrow and send them to them as quickly as possible!"
"Well! Our army has food, and we can definitely consume those locusts!"
"right……!"
A few old guys spoke confidently to comfort them.
"Yeah! That's right!"
The key is that Ying Zheng agreed very much and actually agreed with their ideas.
"Pfft..."
However, Ying Feiyu sat on the chair, dangling his calves and laughed.
"Feiyu, you've been hiding something as big as the locust plague, and you just didn't discuss it with us. Why are you still laughing?"
The army suddenly encountered a locust plague and was stagnant. Ying Zheng was in a bad mood.
After seeing the young lady laughing, she became even more annoyed!
"How's it going? Is your minister right? Even if I tell you about this matter, you still have nothing to do...!"
Ying Feiyu still had a sneer on his face, "With an army of 300,000 and 300,000 prisoners, the daily consumption of food and grass is huge. Once the locusts don't leave for a month, will the imperial court continue to provide them?"
"Forehead……"
A few simple words left Ying Zheng and the old guys speechless.
That's right. The court in the flood-stricken areas south of the Yangtze River has provided a lot of food, and even now, it is still being transported to the south of the Yangtze River on a regular basis!
If we add this 600,000-strong army, the court will be really struggling!
"Perhaps my father is thinking that if the court has money, it can go to the private sector to buy food in large quantities!"
"Um!"
I have to say that Ying Zheng did think so.
"But have you ever thought about it, father? If the imperial court purchases a large amount of grain, the price of grain will rise. It's only the grain merchants who can help!"
With the development of industry, commerce and mechanization, many people have given up farming and have chosen to work in factories or do small businesses. They rely on buying rice, flour, grain and oil.
Even the people who farmed sold their grain to grain merchants last autumn, but this year it has not reached the maturity stage and cannot make any money at all.
Therefore, when grain prices rise, only grain merchants are the ones who really make money.
The people will be dissatisfied!
