Daqin: The golden list came to the world, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

Chapter 120: Celebrate the success of the bandit suppression and entertain the whole city

The death of Liu Mang's father and son spread throughout Jingchu.

Everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince personally executed a corrupt official.

The atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion of Pengju County is slightly heavy today.

After the last incident, Yue Peng was quite haggard.

In front, Ying Changge was flipping through various events recorded in Pengju County in recent years.

Yue Peng slowly put a folder in front of Ying Changge, and said, "Your Highness, there is one thing. I would like to ask His Highness to make a decision for Pengju County."

Ying Changge heard the words and picked up the booklet: "What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness, as you can see, there has been no rain in many places of our Pengju army for two full months. During these two months, many farmlands have been completely dried out by the scorching sun. The crops were basically destroyed..." Yue Peng said a little nervously.

Ying Chang's singer paused: "You mean, drought?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Hearing this, Ying Changge frowned indeed.

A few days ago, it was said that there was not enough rain in Pengju County, so Ying Changge immediately decided to come to this land of Jingchu for inspection.

Unexpectedly, this drought has already happened.

"His Royal Highness, should this matter be reported to His Majesty the First Emperor?" Cao Can asked beside him.

After all, Shihuang was also extremely concerned about this matter.

But Ying Changge shook his head. Shi Huang had already entrusted him with responsibility for this matter, but he never expected that the time would be so tight.

"According to your estimation, how much grain would those farmers with no harvest need if they need disaster relief from the imperial court?" Ying Changge asked.

Yue Peng frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, according to our rough estimate, it will cost about 2000 million stones."

Ying Changge nodded, this number was almost expected.

"How much food is left in Pengju County?" Ying Changge asked.

"During this period of time, we have been providing aid one after another, just because of the huge number. We estimate that the surplus in our county can last for another half a month. By then, there will be a large-scale famine in the entire county." Yue Peng Said with an ugly face.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but because there is only so much surplus food, and when it's used up, it's gone.

Even if you want to transport food from other places, it may take a month.

Hearing this, Ying Changge rubbed his palm lightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yue Peng: "You go and make arrangements. To celebrate the smooth progress of the bandit suppression, the prince wants to entertain the whole city!"

……

Heyday Palace.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor, Feng Jie asks to see you!" A eunuch walked in and bowed.

"Feng Jie? Xuan." Shihuang stood up.

Not long after, Feng Jie, who was wearing an official uniform, walked in from the outside.

"Feng Jie, pay homage to His Majesty the First Emperor!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Jie got up slowly, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yue Peng, the governor of Pengju County, just sent an urgent report."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed a thousand bandits alone in Pengju County, without any damage to himself!"

Feng Jie's report did not cause the slightest fluctuation in Shi Huang's eyes.

He has never been worried about Ying Changge's strength, and he also wants to let Ying Changge show off his edge by letting Ying Changge set out to inspect Pengju County this time.

"The widow knows about this matter, is there anything else?"

Shihuang raised his eyes and looked at Feng Jie.

He noticed that his brows were frowned, and it was expected that this was not the main reason why Feng Jie came to meet him.

Since Feng Jie has such an expression, there must be other things to report.

"Your Majesty, besides this, there is another piece of news from Yue Peng!"

"Pengju County suffered two months of drought, and the famine is imminent! But His Royal Highness is in the county, in order to celebrate the success of suppressing the bandits, he will entertain all the people in the city, and he will call the rich, gentry and dignitaries in the county to have a feast together!"

Feng Jie spoke hesitantly.

On the surface, Feng Jie was full of worries, but in fact, Feng Jie was already unstoppably excited.

When he got the news, he was quite surprised.

This is Ying Changge giving them a chance!
The celebration banquet after the extermination of the bandits, although a bit exaggerated, is also normal, and it can also show the mighty grace of the emperor.

But the problem is that the situation in Pengju County is very different from before.

Famine is imminent in Pengju County. As the inspection prince, Ying Changge not only failed to formulate corresponding policies, but was so extravagant and wasteful.

At this time, when the celebration banquet is over, when the famine breaks out, the food in Pengju County will be able to rescue fewer victims, and more victims will starve to death due to the famine.

This is undoubtedly the way of turmoil!

And this will also be an extremely important step for them to bring down Ying Changge, so he went into the palace non-stop to report to Shi Huang.

"what?!"

Shi Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then his face darkened immediately.

This news angered Shi Huang almost instantly.

Originally, Pengju County already had insufficient food reserves, and he was already considering whether to increase food collection for future disaster relief.

As a result, Ying Changge's actions undoubtedly consumed more food in Pengju County!
Then the next disaster relief will be more difficult!

Moreover, once a famine occurs, the common people will think of Ying Changge celebrating in the whole city, and comparing the two, they will only have one idea.

The royal family of the empire is extravagant and lustful, disregarding the life and death of the people!

Once this kind of thought appears, it is a harbinger of turmoil!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"This matter is of great importance, and the veteran has repeatedly confirmed it, but, but... oh!"

"and,"

Feng Jie looked very regrettable and sighed.

But in Feng Jie's heart, joy had blossomed.

The angrier Shihuang was, it proved that this matter hit Ying Changge harder in Shihuang's heart, and the greater their chances were!
"What about the accompanying officials, Cao Shen and others didn't persuade them?"

After a short while, the anger in Shi Huang's eyes had turned calm, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Return to Your Majesty, Yue Peng did not mention this matter." Feng Jie said.

The first emperor stared at the request for grain on the memorabilia, and thought for a while.

"Okay, I know about this, you go down first." Shihuang said.

"No!" Feng Jie bowed back and walked out from Dingsheng Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the Peak Palace, Feng Jie's face was swept away from the previous haze, on the contrary, there was a bit of complacency.

Now, Ying Changge might suffer disaster.

……

And in the city of Pengju County, it was already in full swing.

The small streets and alleys were decorated with lights and festoons, and tables were first placed. In addition, the Prince's edict had also been posted on many bulletin boards.

"Fathers and folks, in order to celebrate the success of His Royal Highness in suppressing bandits, His Royal Highness ordered all the people in the county to have a celebration banquet tomorrow!"

In the street, many Daqin Academy disciples shouted loudly.

Different streets are filled with different people who preach the Prince's edict.
