Daqin: The first emperor came to recognize his relatives, and I greeted him with a knife

Ying Zheng looked at the officials below with a serious face.

There was a complete silence all around, and the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.

Everyone didn't know what happened, but it was obvious from His Majesty's expression that he had something important to say.

Wang Jian and Li Si looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.

After all, there are rumors in the court that it is very possible to establish a prince.

Fusu and Huhai also looked eager to try.

Especially Hu Hai's face was filled with joy.

He felt that the crown prince belonged to him.

Zhao Gao even tidied up his clothes on purpose, and looked at Hu Hai nervously.

Li Si sighed silently in his heart.

Wang Jian also had a sad expression on his face.

They all feel that it is not a good time to announce Zhao Yang's identity now, and it is very likely that many people will block him.

Moreover, those forces in the dark are always ready to move, and the remnants of the Six Nations will also take action.

At that time, it will bring some unnecessary troubles to Zhao Yang.

If Zhao Yang suddenly changed from an ordinary person to the current prince, he might not be able to accept it easily.

It might be difficult to adapt to this kind of life.

Besides, the last time Li Si accompanied Ying Zheng to visit Zhao Yang, he found that Zhao Yang didn't like his biological father.

It is not yet known whether Zhao Yang will agree to be the prince.

But if His Majesty wants to announce it now, they will of course rule out all the differences and support Zhao Yang.

In the hearts of the two, Zhao Yang was already a veritable Prince of Qin.

Whether it is in terms of ability or in terms of dealing with people.

Both of them have been convinced.

I just hope Zhao Yang can agree.

The sweat in Li Si's hands had already soaked the corner of his clothes.

He looked nervously at Ying Zheng who was sitting on the seat, waiting for him to announce the result.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng said with a serious face: "There is a rush to report that there is a severe drought in the south. It is expected that there will be a famine in a short time. Today, I am calling everyone to come and discuss it."
Li Si and Wang Jian heaved a sigh of relief, but luckily it wasn't the love of the crown prince.

Although they have made complete preparations in their hearts, now is indeed not a good time.

But they soon became tense again.

Drought is no small matter.

In previous years, many people would die in severe droughts, and the severe droughts in previous years almost killed the entire city.

Li Si still has lingering fears when he thinks about it now.

He saw with his own eyes that the people who escaped were skinny and skinny.

There are also people who make big shots on the street in order to grab a sip of water.

Ying Zheng looked at everyone's reaction and continued, "This severe drought has lasted for a year, and I heard that the people's food reserves have already been exhausted, and the remaining food may not be able to survive this month. "

This problem needs to be solved in this short period of one month.

Otherwise, if there is a famine, then the people there will definitely flee and live in no fixed place.

Famines were followed by many plague flus.

These are things that cost money.

If the crops are not harvested, everyone will have no food to eat.

Coupled with the fact that we are now at war, it is even more difficult to fight the disaster.

Ying Zheng also had a headache all night because of this.

A Shiro stood up first and said, "It's better to let them find a way to reclaim the land, maybe they can grow something."

"How can something be grown in this perennially drought-stricken place? You are simply fantasizing. Isn't this just letting them fend for themselves?"

Another censor doctor hurriedly stood up and refuted.

Ying Zheng frowned and listened to the two's arguments, then looked at Meng Yi.

"Meng Yi, tell me your opinion."

Meng Yi stood up bravely and said after saluting: "Now there is only one plan, and that is to use the money in the treasury to help the victims. At that time, a large number of refugees will definitely flood into the city."
Ying Zheng sighed.

He didn't know that there was only one solution.

But there is not much money in the treasury to give relief.

If all the money is used for the victims, the whole country will fall into famine.

"Is there any other way?"

Ying Zheng could only continue to ask.

"Your Majesty, it's better to collect taxes from the common people and let them help these disaster victims, especially those merchants who are very rich."

Someone came forward with the idea.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jian stood up and opposed fiercely.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this! If you say this, you will definitely lose the hearts of the people. In addition, these people have already suffered terribly because of the conscription before, and now they just took a breath."
Ying Zheng nodded, feeling that what Wang Jian said made sense.

When he thought of the day when he saw that the people were all skinny and skinny, and the villagers couldn't even afford to eat, he felt guilty.

Now it is even more impossible to search the common people.

The person who came up with the idea was a doctor from Hu Hai's school.

Seeing that Wang Jian dared to refute his face in front of so many people, his expression was a little displeased.

The doctor immediately kicked this problem to Wang Jian.

"Then what do you think the emperor should do?"
He himself disliked Wang Jian very much.

Because Wang Jian had done a lot of military exploits before, he stole the limelight in the whole of Daqin.

He has worked hard for so many years and is still just a nobody.

Before Wang Jian could open his mouth, a friend who was close to him said, "Why don't you just collect donations in the court, so that you will have money, and it's still the doctor's method."
Wang Jian and the others don't mind this, they are willing to donate some money.

Anyway, everyone will have some other business more or less, and it is impossible to just rely on that little salary.

The main thing is who said this thing that offends others is especially important.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The doctor's face darkened instantly. If His Majesty agreed at this time, wouldn't he have offended the entire court.

No one is willing to take out their little money.

"This...you are just joking, we only have that little salary every year, how can we get the money out? I just think that there are a lot of people here, even if they get a little less money, they can squeeze out."

The doctor hastily burst into tears.

Others joined him.

Li Si thought to himself: The rations of that group of people for a year are not as much as you eat once.

This person is not only extremely extravagant and wasteful, but also likes to organize some entertainment activities very much.

Li Si had already heard about it.

It's just because His Majesty is going to investigate corruption these days, and there is a lesson from Chun Yuyue.

He also restrained a lot.

Ying Zheng looked impatiently at the chattering courtiers below.

He didn't expect this group of people to push and shove like this.

"Don't you people have nothing to do? The whole country can't find a useful talent!"

Ying Zheng slapped the table violently, and none of his words were useful.

The people below all knelt down in an instant, not daring to speak any more.
