The entire Wei River bank has become a place of war between humans and locusts. The entire Wei River bank is under darkness. Dark clouds have enveloped me at some unknown time, and thunder and lightning continue to sound.
"Om-long~"
Huge thunder sounded, the wind swayed, and heavy rain fell. Ying Zheng held Tianwen in his hand and pointed directly at the sky and shouted
"The destiny is in Qin, and I am the destiny of the people!!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Ying Zheng, who was pointing his sword at the sky. They lowered their chests and shouted
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
As thunder fell, the locusts in the air fell to the ground one after another, struggled a few times and then stopped moving. Seeing this scene, everyone shouted to Ying Zheng on the high platform.
"The king will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin will live for ten thousand years!!"
When the people looked at the locusts on the ground, the fear of locusts no longer existed in their hearts. They thought they were just ordinary bugs. Some people looked at the locusts that were still moving on the ground and stamped them to death.
"Qin is invincible, Qin is invincible!" Among the six countries' special envoys, the South Korean envoy looked at this scene with bloodshot eyes and his whole body was a little confused. He is a Confucian and studied under Gong Yang. In addition to revenge, Gong Yang also There is one characteristic that makes Fury particularly fond of wonders, namely miracles. This scene is no less than a dimensionality reduction blow to him.
The two Queen Mothers who came to watch at the same time, Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Huayang, were also shocked. They did not expect that Ying Zheng actually defeated the locusts. Soon the expressions on their faces changed into two different situations. Zhao Ji's face was full of shock. He was overjoyed, but at the same time there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Ying Zheng's actions undoubtedly won the hearts and minds of the entire Qin State. The court and military also turned to Ying Zheng, which meant that Ying Zheng began to gradually take back his power, and As the Queen Mother, he has to give up some of the power in his hands, so he is both happy and a little worried.
Queen Mother Huayang’s eyes were filled with helplessness
Lu Buwei looked at the locusts falling in the sky and glanced at Ziyou. Ziyou looked at this scene with an indifferent expression. Watching the locusts dissipate, Duke Heng led his army to the foot of the high platform. Duke He dismounted and faced Ying Zheng. Said with a salute
"Your Majesty, the locusts have retreated and we, the Qin Dynasty, have won!"
"I know it, the titles of those who participated in this battle have been upgraded to three levels in a row!" Ying Zheng put away Tianwen and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Three thousand Iron Eagle warriors and five thousand Imperial Guards saluted Ying Zheng.
"This is what you deserve. You helped our Qin country drive away the locust plague and saved our Qin people. Our Qin people no longer have to fear the locust disaster. You are my Qin people and will always have the protection of my great Qin!" Ying Zheng shouted .
When the people heard Ying Zheng’s words, they raised their arms and shouted
"My King for ten thousand years!!"
Ziyou looked at this scene with a satisfied smile on his face. If he wanted to break the superstition of ghosts and gods in the hearts of the people, he must tell them that ghosts and gods can be defeated. Ziyou is not opposed to the worship of ghosts and gods, because it is inevitable. But some superstitions and obscenities must be eradicated.
At the same time, there was a secret place on the banks of the Wei River.
The charlatan who had been playing tricks in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the battle against the sky was over. Zhao Gao stood behind him with a calm expression.
"My lord, my mission has been completed. Mr. Ziyou promised me that he would let me go as soon as I finish." The charlatan said to Zhao Gao.
"Of course, this is what my husband asked me to give you, and it counts as travel expenses." Zhao Gao threw a package to the charlatan and said.
"Thank you, sir. Mr. Ziyou is truly a scholar of the country." The charlatan caught the package and laughed when he saw the gold inside.
"Let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Zhao Gao said.
"Thank you, sir, hehe, thank you, sir..." The charlatan warlock complimented Zhao Gao, then picked up his things on the ground and turned to leave.
"Whoosh~"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing the air sounded. The charlatan warlock shrank his eyes and looked at his chest. A long arrow made of bronze shot through his heart. A mouthful of blood spurted out in the air. He turned to point at Zhao Gao and moved his lips slightly. He said something, but fell down before he could say it.
"Sir, I gave you a chance to live, but why do you insist on talking so much nonsense?" Zhao Gao showed a cruel smile on his feminine face, took out a fire stick from his sleeve, blew it gently, threw it to the body and left. .
Zhao Gao looked at the burning fire, and a flash of light burst out in his eyes. This fire was the fire that started his career.
After the battle between Qin and the locusts on the banks of the Wei River came to an end, Ying Zheng led the army to repel the locusts, which undoubtedly dispelled the fear of locusts in the hearts of the people of Qin. Their king could defeat heaven and let the locust plague, which represented a natural disaster, retreat. What else do they have to fear? Their king will lead the Qin army to protect them. All the locust temples built a while ago were destroyed by the people. After demolishing the locust temple, the people rushed to the fields with their tools. Start eradicating locusts.
Soon autumn is coming. The locust plague in Qin has been contained, and the locusts in the fields have gradually disappeared. With the relief of the court, the people do not have to worry about starving to death. However, the court of Qin is not happy because of a more serious one. The problem arose, that is, post-disaster reconstruction, the Qin State could not produce so much food to feed these people.
The Qin court was discussing this matter. Ziyou looked at the ministers who were talking about it but could not come to a conclusion and stood up and said
"Your Majesty, Ziyou has a plan to solve the urgent problem." Ziyou said.
"Sir, please tell me." Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou and said.
"This policy is called work-for-relief. The court issues tasks such as building canals, building roads, weaving, etc. to recruit people. Let the people work in exchange for food for next summer's harvest. This will not only save the people, but also strengthen the people. Qin’s national strength, why not do it?” Ziyou said.
Lu Buwei stopped holding his hand and thought about the method Ziyou said. He felt that it was very feasible. This method could not only provide relief after the disaster, but also promote the progress of some large-scale construction projects in Qin State. Generally speaking, every country needs to collect labor for anything it wants to build, but labor cannot be collected too much at one time, which results in many construction periods being extended a lot.
"I think Mr. Ziyou's strategy can be adopted. Zheng Guoqu's labor service is about to end, and at the same time, roads in various places will be renovated. This will kill two birds with one stone." Lu Buwei stood up and said.
"I second the proposal! Last month, the Shu Land reported that the grain transportation road between Shu Land and Xianyang was washed away by heavy rains and is in need of emergency repairs." Zhi Su Neishi stood up and said.
Many more ministers came forward and mentioned the projects that needed manpower. Ying Zheng began to think deeply as he listened to these projects. The urgency of these projects needed to be carefully considered before manpower could be arranged.
"Your Majesty, in addition to considering the urgency of these projects, people also need to coordinate the arrangements for manpower, food during the construction period, etc." Lu Buwei said, explaining all the aspects required for these projects.
"Then who should coordinate?" Ying Zheng asked.
Lu Buwei and the minister also fell into deep thought for a while. This amount of calculation is not something that anyone can easily satisfy.
"I do have someone I can recommend." Ziyou said, looking at these ministers.
"who?"
"My senior brother Zhang Cang, senior brother, is good at planning. He has arranged for disaster relief food before, so it is okay to leave such matters to him." Ziyou said.
At this time, Zhang Cang, who was in the other courtyard, was lying on a recliner. The table in front of him was filled with fresh fruits, delicious food, and fine wine. Two mature women were rubbing his legs. The dancers in the palace were dancing. Zhang Cang suddenly suddenly He sneezed and stood up suddenly. The woman responsible for rubbing his legs knelt on the ground, thinking that they had angered Zhang Cang.
"Why do I sneeze? Someone must be plotting against me. I can't stay in Qin anymore." Zhang Cang muttered to himself in a low voice. He had a hunch that he wouldn't be able to escape if he didn't run away. He glanced at the people in the room. Although he was very reluctant to leave Mei Ji, he could only bear the pain and say goodbye.
