I! Great Qin Rui Beast, Q\u0026A About the Opening Luck

Frost, flood, disease.

A total of three disasters are testing Da Qin.

At the same time, it also tested the first emperor, who had just been sanctified in Mount Tai.

There are priorities, and a choice must be made among these three disasters.

Daqin's current national strength is limited, and once one of them is chosen for disaster relief, the situation in the other two places is bound to continue to deteriorate.

Therefore, how to make a choice has become the biggest problem for the first emperor today.

"Your Majesty, this minister suggests that the Lingnan epidemic should be dealt with first.""

It was Xun Yu who spoke.

In his view, if the epidemic is not controlled in time.

I am afraid that it will spread to the entire Daqin, not just a regional matter.

Once life and death are involved, it is naturally a priority.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the frost disaster should be dealt with first.

This time, it was Li Si who spoke.

His reason is also very simple.

First, Guanzhong was the center of the Qin Dynasty and was very close to Xianyang.

So it needs to be prioritized.

Once handled improperly, it is likely to cause civil unrest.

Once the people in Guanzhong changed, Xianyang would open its doors.

At that time, if the foreign military rescue is not timely, the capital Xianyang is likely to be in danger.

Of course, there is also a personal reason that Li Si did not explicitly say.

All the property of his family is in Guanzhong.

The frost disaster this time has also affected a lot of their family.

If the first emperor could take the lead in carrying out disaster relief in Guanzhong, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to the Li Si family.

"Your Majesty, this minister proposes to take the lead in dealing with the flood."

This time, everyone saw that it was Xiao He who spoke.

It stands to reason that Xiao He is only the county governor of Jingyang County, and it is not appropriate to participate in this matter.

But at the moment, the crisis is imminent, and Xiao He naturally can't stand idly by.

His reason for wanting to relieve the Yellow River is also very simple.

The Yellow River floods are repeated every few years.

The people were not only displaced, but also lost almost all their property and crops.

Not to mention the place to live, even to eat, there is no last meal.

And unlike Lingnan, there are many ethnic minorities in the Yellow River area.

Once the court's disaster relief is not timely, I am afraid that it will be changed later.

At that time, the money and food that will be spent will not only be so much for disaster relief.

Three people, three completely different opinions.

The first emperor fell into deep thought.

Whose opinion should be heard?

【‘It’s still worth thinking about, it must be Xiao He’s opinion!’

Bai Hei was full of food and drink, stretched lazily, and then lay on the ground.

11 Huh?

Suddenly, the first emperor heard Bai Zhu's inner voice again.

He glanced at Bai Hei subconsciously, although he didn't know why he said that.

But at the moment, all the ministers are there, so it is not convenient for him to ask.

On the other hand, Ying Yinman, who could also hear Baihei's inner voice, quickly came over,

Lying in Bai Hei's ear, he sighed: "Why do you agree with Xiao He, is it because he is your subordinate?"

Baihei pricked up his ears, neither agreeing nor opposing.

['Xiao He was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and Wang Zuozhi's talent. ’]

[‘And from the beginning of the event, he has been doing logistics, of course it is reliable. ’]

[‘Xun Yu is of course also a talent of Wang Zuo, but unfortunately, he is new here and doesn’t know much about the situation in Lingnan. ’]

[‘Let’s talk about Li Si, he always considers everything from his own perspective. ’]

[‘The Dune coup is not the same, but if he thinks about it from the perspective of Da Qin, such a thing will not happen. l

After giving the evaluation of the three people in a row, Bai Hei then thought:

[‘Although the epidemic in Lingnan is the most urgent, the imperial court has neither investigation nor cure. ’]

[‘If you want to curb the epidemic in Lingnan, you must at least send someone to investigate, and then develop a good medicine. ’]

【‘And during this time, didn’t you just deal with other things?’】

Hearing Bai Zhu's heartfelt voice, the First Emperor nodded silently.

Although the epidemic in Lingnan is ferocious, in fact, the epidemic can only grow and spread in hot areas.

Therefore, the possibility of proliferation is not great, and it is not the most urgent thing at the moment.

[‘As for the frost disaster in Guanzhong, a large number of potatoes have just been harvested, and the grain reserves in Guanzhong should be very rich. l

['In this way, as long as the court guarantees the heating of the people. ’]

[‘In a short period of time, the impact of the frost disaster will not be great. ’]

For this point, the first emperor was even more aware of it.

Since the success of the white and black potatoes in Jingyang County.

Many surrounding counties also began to learn to plant.

Ahead of the frost, they have successfully harvested a new batch of potatoes.

Coupled with the fact that the Guanzhong area is relatively close to Xianyang, even if there is a real starvation due to the frost disaster.

At that time, the government's distribution of disaster relief food will also be available in a few days.

Looking at it this way, the issues of Lingnan and Guanzhong are indeed not the most urgent at the moment.

The Lingnan area only needs to send dozens of doctors to investigate first.

As for the frost disaster in Guanzhong, it can be temporarily suppressed.

When the food problem did arise, the imperial court dispatched additional staff to go to disaster relief.

After the first disaster relief route was determined, the first emperor bid farewell to Bai Zhu immediately.

Xingye hurried back to Xianyang without stopping.

In terms of personal expeditions, even those emperors of the Qing Dynasty in later generations,

It is far less than the first emperor himself.

Except for the search for immortals and the parade, Shi Huang spent almost all the rest of his time on diligent administration.

Looking at the figure of the First Emperor leaving in a hurry, Bai Hei was a little worried.

It's not hard to imagine that he just offended those old children a few days ago.

Coupled with the fact that the court is now facing three disasters, the nobles of the six countries will inevitably start to do things in secret.

Especially when disaster relief has always been more and more disaster relief, the problems faced by the first emperor may be one after another.

As Bai Hei expected, the first emperor returned to Xianyang.

After the news of the three disasters came out, the old children moved.

What such as: "The first emperor has no way, and he practiced Feng Chan" "such as today's disaster, the fruit will be fulfilled"

Words like that are almost endless.

Even the last time the First Emperor paid homage to Mount Tai with the blood of Confucian scholars, they had some restraint.

But every time their discussion "just" can be bumped into by the first emperor.

Obviously, this is what they did on purpose, specifically to block the First Emperor.

Don't you look down on our Confucianism and disrespect our Confucianism?

Then we'll trip you up!

We don't care what kind of natural and man-made disasters, as long as we can defeat you, the tyrant, even if the people all over the world die, it will be worth it!

Of course, for such a statement, the people of the world feel very uncomfortable.

Sometimes, Confucian scholars seem disgusting and useless.

But when things go wrong, it's hard to beat.

After getting first-hand information from Xianyang Palace.

This group of Confucian scholars, who were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, quickly spread the news.

Including their own remarks, such as "the first emperor has no virtue".

Although for their words, both the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the common people scoffed at them.

But disasters are real things.

As a result, the keen nobles of the Six Nations quickly realized.

Their chance to turn over may be coming!

Since the first emperor wanted to relieve disasters, he must need food.

Not only food is needed, but once disaster relief begins, the people at least need a place to live, right?

Therefore, these nobles of the six countries immediately acted according to the division of labor.

Some families are responsible for collecting and purchasing food.

Within three days, they swept the large and small markets in Xianyang,

Almost all the food that can be bought in the market is purchased.

At one point, Xianyang's grain prices tripled in three days!

On the other side, the other nobles of the Six Nations turned their attention to goods such as wood and animal skins.

Anyway, as long as the raw materials such as houses and tents can be built in a short time.

They all buy!

How much is needed!

Within three days, Xianyang and its surrounding objects,

All were taken by them.

It is true that the First Emperor moved them to Xianyang.

They obviously could not oppose all the policies of the First Emperor.

But this does not mean that they will firmly stand on the side of the first emperor.

Especially when there are natural and man-made disasters, they don't mind making a fortune from natural disasters!

This is a normal business transaction, you can't order me to be arrested, can you?

The first emperor, who had long expected this, first sent people to the counties and counties in the Yellow River Basin for disaster relief.

At the same time, a large amount of relief money was allocated.

But soon, news came from the counties and counties in the Yellow River Basin.

Sure enough, this disaster relief was almost ineffective.

Although the disaster relief funds below are all recorded in the account.

But the First Emperor knew in his heart that if the account was really calculated, not much was actually spent on the people.

However, disaster relief has to be done.

But if we continue to use this method of disaster relief to continue.

I am afraid that Daqin's treasury will be emptied by these corrupt officials.

But you have to say check it.

Seeing that there are now disaster victims everywhere, refugees are everywhere.

Once the inventory is carried out now, I am afraid that it will cause great turmoil.

Those officials who were familiar with the disaster-stricken counties and counties will definitely have great difficulties in the local disaster relief work after being liquidated in a short period of time.

Even if it is to be liquidated, it is definitely not now!

Moreover, at present, it is not just the difficulty of corrupt officials.

More importantly, even if the court issued disaster relief silver.

But the disaster relief food is nowhere to be obtained, even if the imperial court is willing to levy it at three times the price, the nobles of the Six Nations will not let go.

Because their purpose is more than just money!

What they want is the hereditary title of Daqin!

In the face of such a request from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, the First Emperor knew that,

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Qin law stipulates that military merits are awarded.

And once this precedent was opened, it would be equivalent to admitting defeat to the old nobles of the Six Nations.

Was Qin Shi Huang the kind of person who easily conceded defeat?

And even if you admit defeat this time, what about next time?

What about next time?

Daqin can't live by admitting defeat for the rest of his life, can he?

Today you come to threaten me, I will give you a title,

Tomorrow he will threaten me, I will give another title,

Then within ten years, Daqin will be kings all over the world!

And it is not difficult to imagine that these old nobles can still threaten Da Qin with natural disasters today.

Then even if he becomes a prince tomorrow, next time, he will dare to threaten the First Emperor with the throne!

Such behavior cannot be tolerated!

To be honest, the current Daqin is really not short of money.

What is lacking is food for disaster relief.

However, even the First Emperor had activated the power of the Black Ice Platform.

But within a few days, only a few dozen catties of food were raised.

Even adding some food saved by the imperial court is only a drop in the bucket,

For the overall disaster relief situation, it has little effect.

For a time, the first emperor actually faced a dead end.

Or, surrender to the nobles of the Six Nations, buy the food in their hands at a high price, and give them titles.

In other words, even if the First Emperor compromised, how much of these disaster relief silver and disaster relief food would eventually reach the people?

The First Emperor didn't know, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Just when he was sitting in the bedroom, helpless.

The little eunuch trotted all the way to his side, and said a few words in his ear.

After that, the first emperor's eyes began to become eager:

"Is this true?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's true, Lord Xiao is now outside the palace."

"Come in!"

After a second thought, the First Emperor waved his hand again: "Forget it, you can step back.

"I'll go myself."

Saying that, he didn't even care about the little eunuch behind him.

The first emperor strode straight to the door of Xianyang Palace.

According to the little eunuch just now, Xiao He, the governor of Jingyang County, was escorting ten carts of grain.

Came to the entrance of Xianyang Palace.

Needless to say, this must be Rui Beast's idea!

The more the first emperor thought about it, the more excited he became.

Looking up, sure enough, five carriages loaded with grain and potatoes were parked at the gate of Xianyang Palace.

"His Majesty.""

Seeing the appearance of the First Emperor, Xiao He quickly saluted: "Master Rui Beast ordered me to come to relieve His Majesty's worries."5

The First Emperor patted his shoulder happily: "Tell me, what are the conditions."

According to the temper of the little auspicious beast, the first emperor knew without thinking.

These ten carts of food are definitely not free.

Little Rui Beast is only a black and white match that can't afford to be too early!

Sure enough, under the cross-examination of the first emperor, Xiao He quickly handed over his old bottom.

White and black actually have to sell more than four times the market price!

This is indeed a windfall of war!

But in the face of Xiao Rui Beast's request, the First Emperor agreed without thinking.

Is there still little good things that Little Rui Beast brings to him?

And now, what Da Qin lacks is food, not money.

Except for the little auspicious beast, even if he is willing to pay ten times the price,

If there was no title, how could the nobles of the Six Nations hand over food to him willingly?

Therefore, even if Xiao Rui Beast offered four times the price, the first emperor's heart was still warm.

At least with these grains, the relief work can proceed quickly.

Although the problem of corruption remains unresolved.

But as long as this group of people can still do things while embezzling, the first emperor doesn't mind the fallout.

However, this time, Xiao He brought more than ten carts of food.

In the future, more and more grains are being delivered to Xianyang.

And the first emperor will always accept all the bills!

Just kidding, there are major disasters in three places, how much food is needed for this disaster relief?

So, on one side is the 723 Bai Zhi who made a lot of money.

On the other hand is the first emperor who solved the food problem.

Between the two, a win-win is achieved!

In addition, Xiao He also sent a message to the first emperor.

Disaster relief food and disaster relief silver do not move!

wait for news!

wait for news?

The First Emperor expressed his incomprehension.

The disaster is like fire and water, and it is almost urgent. At this time, what news are you waiting for?

But soon, news came one after another from Jingyang County that made him extremely happy.

"Relief for Work"!

This is a brand new term.

When Bai Zhu ordered Xiao He to go to Xianyang to escort food, he began to arrange this matter.

After all, if this kind of thing is explained to the first emperor himself.

He may not understand.

Simply, he used Jingyang County as a guide to come up with a realistic version of "relief for work".

But the difference is that Jingyang County was not affected.

Rao is so, all kinds of large-scale infrastructure in white and black also began to be built in an orderly manner.

The first to bear the brunt is the road from Jingyang County to Xianyang.

According to Baihei, the specifications of the road must be higher than Qinzhidao (Chiaodao)!

No matter how much it costs, the road must be smooth!

He really can't stand the bumpy rides of this era!

At the same time, in Jingyang County, he led out three canals one after another.

Fully prepared for agricultural irrigation.

In addition, he also carried out construction projects in Jingyang County, built various rockeries, and planted various rare and exotic grasses.

Originally, these things came from different places, and the climates adapted to them were also different.

Fortunately, Jingyang County has the special attributes of Shennong Temple and the shelter of auspicious beasts.

Therefore, these rare and exotic grasses, which were difficult to survive, gradually blossomed and fruited in various parts of Jingyang County.

It is different from the corvée of the Qin Dynasty.

The people of Jingyang County who participated in these projects were paid for their work.

In addition to three meals a day, everyone can get one salary per day.

Don't look at this money is insignificant, but if you add three meals a day.

Such wages were not too high at the time.

So, for a time, the people of the entire Jingyang County began to actively sign up to participate in various labors.

And the First Emperor, who was far away in Xianyang City, was greatly inspired after receiving the news.

Indeed, compared with simple disaster relief, this method can cleverly avoid the "lazy people" that appear due to disaster relief.

.

While disaster relief is carried out in an orderly manner, national infrastructure can also be built.

Alleviate the state's corvée service to the people on weekdays.

In addition, after adopting this method, the corruption problem of local officials can also be solved to a certain extent.

After all, unlike disaster relief, each worker's wages are counted.

Including three meals a day, how much each meal is eaten, the court can record it.

Therefore, there is little room for corruption left for officials.

In this way, not only the disaster relief can be carried out smoothly, but also the problem of corruption can be limited to a certain extent while increasing the construction of national infrastructure.

It's a feat!

After learning this trick, the first emperor quickly applied it to disaster relief.

Build the embankment of the Yellow River, rebuild the roads everywhere...  

Every piece of infrastructure started to run gradually.

With the start of these projects.

The food problem of the affected people was quickly solved, and the disaster situation was alleviated to a certain extent.
