Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

Following Zhao Tuo's order, the people of Xianyang City who heard the news first became restless.

And this agitation has a tendency to spread rapidly to the surrounding areas.

"Have you heard? It seems that the grain stored in the treasury a few days ago is going to be sold and replaced with inferior grain and bran!"

"How could I have never heard of such a thing! The notices have been posted over there, and the Xianyang Palace is recruiting merchants!"

"Why is that?"

"You still need to think about it? In my opinion, Xianyang Palace wants to exchange our grain reserves for bad grains, and the rest of the money..."

"Shh! You're going to die!"

"What life do we need? What should we do if there is a natural disaster, drought or flood?"

"Hey... let me tell you, those corrupt officials and traitors never thought about us ordinary people at all."

"What corrupt official and traitor?"

"You don't know? Why do you think His Majesty the First Emperor suddenly gave in? Why wasn't the eldest son Fusu who succeeded the throne? Why do you think our Second Emperor can take the throne at the age of eighteen?"

"what do you mean……"

"This matter is rotten in the stomach, we just need to know it in our own hearts!"

All kinds of gossip and rumors spread in some people's intentions or not.

The Xianyang Palace was shoddy, and the news of the loss of life spread like wildfire.

Although he did not dare to discuss it publicly, rumors of the new emperor's cruelty and greed disregarding Jiangshan's society and grain were widely circulated in private.

In addition, Xianyang City set off a bloody storm due to the extermination of the Zhao Gao Jiu Clan and the alchemist alchemist two days ago.

And Fusu, who is very popular among the people and is the eldest son, failed to ascend to the throne.

Zhao Tuo's low prestige even plummeted.

There are even rumors that there is a traitor behind the current second emperor Zhao Tuo.

He used a lot of unsightly means, so he was able to surpass the eldest son Fusu to ascend to the throne at the age of eighteen.

All kinds of rumors spread, people's livelihood grieved.

And this is naturally hidden from the eyes and ears of the Six Nations that are ubiquitous in all parts of Daqin.

For a time, the originally turbulent Daqin, undercurrents surging...

"Uncle! The scouts are quick to report that something big has happened in Xianyang City!"

Eight feet tall, a strong man with heavy eyes pushed the door and entered.

Inside the house, a middle-aged man wearing a linen robe was looking at the map on the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

The middle-aged man whose thoughts were interrupted frowned.

"Yu'er, why are you so nervous?"

The strong man didn't say anything, but handed the letter in his hand to the middle-aged man with a happy face.

"Uncle, just take a look and you'll know!"

"It's still on sale..."

The middle-aged man took the letter and opened it.

"Ying Zheng abdicated, and the fifteenth son of the new emperor, Zhao Tuo, succeeded to the throne and successively executed several sons, including Hu Hai, and the nine clan of Ying Zheng's cronies, Zhao Gao, and even arrested Li Si, the left minister.

Later, the grains in the four counties were confiscated to be shoddy. Now there are rumors that people's hearts are no longer there, and troops are raised against Qin. This is a good opportunity! "

"!!!"

Seeing the contents of the letter, the middle-aged man was shocked, and his face showed an undisguised ecstasy.

"God bless me!"

"This is really a good opportunity for my great Chu to rise!"

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Yu'er, hurry up! You send this letter to Yin Tong, the governor of Huiji County, and invite him to talk at home."

"Yes, uncle."

After speaking, the strong man collected the letter, turned around and pushed the door away.

Zhao Tuo didn't know that even if the news of this era was blocked, the disturbance of this matter reached the ears of all interested people in Daqin within a few days.

There are even celebrities who have left a prominent reputation in later generations, and they are all involved.

But even if he knew, Zhao Tuo didn't have any psychological idea at the moment...

"Your Majesty, that's probably what happened."

At this moment, in Ying Zheng's bedroom... or in the Xinwangyi Palace, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Wang Ben, plus Zhao Tuo, were sitting in the main hall.

Ying Zheng sat beside Zhao Tuo, frowning.

"This is by no means a trivial matter...but, in my opinion, this matter is not as rumored, it is because the Xianyang Palace wants to deduct the food payment."

"Tuo'er, tell me, what are your plans for this matter?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Tuo, who was sitting in the first place, drinking tea.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhao Tuo said nothing, but looked at Ying Zheng.

"Father may wish to guess."

"..."

Ying Zheng's eyes twitched slightly.

Laozi asks you, you let Laozi guess by himself, good boy!

Ying Zheng frowned and said solemnly, "It's shoddy, except that it can increase the national stockpile of grain, there is almost no benefit."

"But what can this mere increase in inventory do... wait!"

Ying Zheng was startled suddenly, then looked up at Zhao Tuo.

"This move... is it to control the famine and disaster?"

famine!

Hearing these two words, Meng Yi and Feng Quji suddenly looked at each other.

Yes, some time ago, His Majesty asked them to thoroughly investigate the territory of Daqin to see if there was any famine.

But they looked carefully. There was no famine in the more than 40 counties of Daqin.

Why does His Majesty insist on doing this now?

Seeing Ying Zheng reveal the reason in a single sentence, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but admire in his heart.

As expected of His Majesty the First Emperor who swept across the six kingdoms, although he is a bit of a bastard in his age, at least in terms of vision and foresight, it is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Father is right, in fact..."

"Lord!"

Zhao Tuo had just finished speaking when Lu Bu strode into the hall.

After all, he is still his own, and now the entire adult, it is estimated that he dared to interrupt Zhao Tuo so blatantly.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Bu suspiciously.

With what he knew about Lu Bu, it was no trivial matter that could make him so serious.

"My lord, there is news from the Tie Ying Guard outside the palace that a group of Chen grains outside the palace that have not yet been collected into the state treasury have been burned by several people!"*
