Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 312 Locust Plague and Plague

Ying Zheng hadn't done much yet, Li Jiyang stood up suddenly!

According to historical records, in the fourth year of the First Emperor, that is, this year, on Gengyin Day in October, locusts flew from the east and covered the sky.

The most important thing is that there is another sentence at the end: the national plague is prevalent.

The plague is a catastrophe in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine!

What's more, during the autumn harvest, the crops in the field, those who have farm tools and ox carts will naturally harvest quickly, and they will be fine after harvesting; those who don't have to rely on manual labor, at least some food will be lost.

Originally, the productivity was low, and the food production was not much. If the plague of locusts was bad, except for the tax and food paid, they would definitely not be able to eat enough!

It's no wonder that there was another saying later: the common people offered a thousand shi of grain and awarded a rank of title.

This is the last time to ask for food from the landlord class!

He thought that after so long, the autumn harvest would be over, and things wouldn't happen!

You must know that he thinks he has the wings of a butterfly, which can blow away all unsafe factors!

For example, Luo Yi was sent back to Lu Buwei's Mansion of Marquis Wenxin by him?

For example, Zhang Liang, wasn’t he also born in Qin after he was fanned from South Korea?

For example, Han Fei, isn't he also Qin Shihuang's Zhongshu Sheren now?

Besides, Li Si, wasn't he also suppressed and unable to raise his head?

"Present it!" Ying Zheng asked Jiang Neishi to put the bamboo slips on the case table with a straight face, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Jiyang down: "Sit down, what are you panicking about? The autumn harvest is almost over, and even if there is a loss, it is also a loss." Not much."

Li Jiyang sat down after hearing this, and then he realized that without the help of himself and so many people in history, half of the autumn harvest was plagued by locusts, and of course there was not enough food.

But it's different now, it doesn't count if I help myself, and Gan Jing, Zhang Ping, and Han Fei all helped, and even Lu Buwei was the first to stand up and donate so many ox carts.

Ok?

Bullock cart!

"Since they are all in disaster, I don't need to take back what I gave away!" Li Jiyang finally found a way to relieve the disaster: "What do you think?"

Ying Zheng was looking at the bamboo slips, and there were a few words on it, mainly to inform him that a plague of locusts was coming!

"What are you looking at? Don't talk about it yet." Ying Zheng raised his head and called out, "Come on!"

"Here!" Jiang Neishi washed up and appeared in front of the two of them again.

"Xuan Ganjing, the imperial censor, will see you. I will bring you the Han Fang." After a pause, "There are also Lu Buwei and Li Si."

"promise!"

After the people left, Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng, "Call Lu Buwei and Li Si?"

People who didn't like to see each other before, why do you think of the two of them this time?

"I have to get Lu Buwei busy..." Ying Zheng patted Li Jiyang's dog's head: "Then we can continue watching the good show."

Li Jiyang doesn't quite understand, but now is not the time to discuss this, big things matter.

Soon, all the people who were supposed to come came, and Ying Zheng asked Jiang Neishi to pass the bamboo slips to all the adults.

Then everyone immediately expressed their opinions. The disaster relief should be postponed first, because the autumn harvest is just now, and it is important to count the losses. Everyone simply thinks that more than half of the autumn harvest has been harvested, and the remaining individual confiscations are confiscated. Even if it is a loss, it is limited.

On the other hand, it was the country to the east of Qin State. Qin State was on the territory of the Central Plains, which was close to the northwest. The locust swarms coming from the east, the first stop they passed was Yan State, and then Zhao State.

South Korea, as a buffer zone, was not spared from the disaster, and to the east of South Korea was the state of Wei, and to the south was another piece bordering on the state of Qi.

Chu State is located in the south near the sea, but the impact is not small. Who makes Chu State a country with a large amount of food, and the climate is good, so if you plant too much, the autumn harvest will be slow!

Anyway, the autumn harvest over there is estimated to be one-third, and the rest must have been eaten by locusts.

All countries will be affected, and the farther to the east, the more unlucky it will be!

Compared with the other countries, Qin State is still very good. At least everything here is almost cleaned up, and this locust plague just came.

"Besides, the Huns also need to be on guard." Han Fei also put forward a different opinion: "We have a plague of locusts here, and locusts don't distinguish between people from the Central Plains or foreigners."

The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and the locusts fly over without even a city wall, which is perfect for them to cross the border!

In addition, all countries have suffered disasters, so I am afraid it will not be peaceful.

Everyone talked a lot, and Li Jiyang was drowsy.

In the evening, Ying Zheng kept everyone for a meal. They ate braised rabbit meat and stewed wild pheasant soup, which is also called pheasant soup.

After eating, he left the palace. Li Jiyang was so sleepy that he went back to greet his family and fell asleep.

He used to take a nap at noon, but suddenly it disappeared, and he was very sleepy at night.

The next day, he reluctantly woke up and ate breakfast, and went to the court dozing off. Ying Zheng asked Han Fei to read the memorial, and the ministers of the court and the central government buzzed like flies in an instant!

And today, by coincidence, Mr. Jingyang came!

The old man's first attack was not Chao Yingzheng, but Lu Buwei!

"The old man said that the king should hold the crowning ceremony. You always disagree. Now that the sky is warning and the locust plague is coming, what else do you have to say?" Jing Yang's white beard is about to stand up: "The old man will do it tomorrow." Let people start preparing for the memorial ceremony, and hold a crown ceremony for the king in three days!"

Lu Buwei was also so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: "This has nothing to do with whether or not the crown ceremony is held!"

Does he have anything to do with it?

Anyway, all the old and young men of the Ying clan joined the battle and satirized Lu Buwei for grabbing the leucorrhea. Those words made people blush and heartbeat... so angry!

Li Jiyang looked at Ying Zheng and found that Ying Zheng was also a little stunned!

Maybe he didn't expect that his uncles, uncles, and ancestors who were not close to him were so powerful in fighting!

It's not easy to catch up with a good time. If you want to be together, no matter how Lu Buwei tries to stop you, it's useless!

God has warned, what else can I say?

The miracle that Li Jiyang performed for Yingzheng when he was Chengding was also dug out, and it was said to be the auspiciousness of Yingzheng himself!

Now you stop Xiangrui from holding the crowning ceremony, the heavens warn you, and the plague of locusts rains down, if you don’t hold the crowning ceremony, who knows if it will shake the mountains next time?

Lu Buwei was furious: "How is that possible?"

"What if it's possible?" Jun Jingyang was full of confidence this time: "Have you taken on this responsibility?"

Lu Buwei didn't dare to say anything, he didn't dare to boast that he was burdened.

But he persisted in his opposition, and all the officials in his department had the same virtues as him.

It was Gan Jing who finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, let's talk about the locust plague first. As for the king's crowning ceremony, please ask the clan to prepare. When will it be held, we can discuss it later!"

Gan Jing also has many people supporting him now, because everything he does is practical, and he doesn't play fake things.

The two parties finally calmed down, and Gan Jing turned to Ying Zheng and continued: "Since there is a disaster, I don't want the [-] sickles sent by the minister, and give them to the common people of Qin!"

Li Jiyang was excited, and immediately said: "I don't want the minister's, I give it to everyone!"

Han Fei followed closely, followed by Zhang Ping, Meng Wu and other generals who were also very generous. They didn't lack anything, but Lu Buwei's gang, because they valued their interests very much, Lu Buwei came out after many people. No more, Li Si was the last to stand up and express his opinion.

No way, Li Si also "borrowed" twenty ox carts, but he never thought that he couldn't take them back!

He just wanted to give himself an aura of magnanimity. Others on the same level as him gave out ten bullock carts. He slapped his face to pretend to be fat, so he forced out twenty carts, but now he can't go back!

But when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty donated, he was too embarrassed to say no to donate, right?

But he really doesn't have such a rich family background!

In fact, logically speaking, Gan Jing doesn't have such a rich family background, but he has a good student!

Zhang Ping, Han Fei, and the others also benefited from Li Jiyang's help. In terms of money, Li Jiyang has never failed to help, because in the space, [-] has developed an unknown number of metal mines, the most of which is gold.

When he had nothing to do, he would send some to these people, and he also said in a euphemistic way: If you have money, you won't be bribed by others!

During the holidays, the gifts he gives are always accompanied by two boxes of gold.

After Zhang Liang was born, Li Jiyang gave two boxes of gold as gifts!

But Li Jiyang is also given to others. Like Lu Buwei, he may still have a little face. If he is fooled by some ordinary things, Li Si will not even be on the gift list.

And Lu Buwei is not such a generous person. Although he is rich, he also has a large family to support. It is okay to give generous gifts to his subordinates. Is he sick?

They were all gifts from his subordinates, and Li Si also gave Lu Buwei a lot of gifts...all of them were good things he picked out from the things others gave him.

All in all, Li Si is a person with little family background.

Who cares if he has a family background?

Gan Jing was generous with Li Jiyang's generosity, but Li Jiyang was not angry, instead he was also generous for a while, and then everyone was also generous for a while in order to express "concern for the country and the people".

Yingzheng was very satisfied with this: "With the help of all the nobles, my country of Qin will surely prosper and prosper. As for the relief, I ask Master Han Fang to take full responsibility."

Lu Buwei wanted to object, but Lord Jingyang brought up the crowning ceremony of the king again, so the two groups fought again!

Mr. Jingyang has no other skills, but insisting on ideals is a must!

During dinner at night, Ying Zheng sighed to Li Jiyang: "The locust plague came at such an inopportune time!"

"That's right, it's good to be half a month late, there's nothing left in the field." Li Jiyang also sighed.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng said: "One month later, I have a reason for Lu Buwei to hold a crown ceremony for me."

Li Jiyang was taken aback: "Are you planning to make a move?"

"I don't need to take action, he has to mess up first." Ying Zheng clenched his chopsticks: "I didn't expect to be disrupted by the locust plague."

Li Jiyang silently put a lot of green vegetables into the cauldron for him, and eating this would not cause him any irritation.

"But that's good, the old ancestor got the opportunity to fight hard, and finally he is going to crown me." Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks to eat the vegetables that Li Jiyang gave him.

"That's good." Li Jiyang pulled the rice: "I'll give you another surprise then!"

Ying Zheng paused: "What for?"

"Don't tell you!"

"That dragon?"

"you guess!"

"I don't guess!"

The two ended today's dinner in a non-nutritious conversation, and when Li Jiyang left the palace, Ying Zheng naturally sent him to the gate of the palace, chatting along the way.

"After the catastrophe, there may still be a plague." Li Jiyang worried: "It's better to prepare as soon as possible."

"Plague...how about offering sacrifices to heaven?" Ying Zheng's understanding of plague was very ancient.

"It's useless to worship the heavens!" Li Jiyang whispered: "It's important to prepare the medicinal materials. If something happens at that time, distribute it to the common people and let them brew the medicine themselves to prevent the spread of the plague."

"I also know that offering sacrifices to heaven is useless, but it's better than not offering sacrifices at all." Ying Zheng said, "How much...how many medicinal materials do you have?"

"You don't have to worry about this. There are plenty of medicinal materials. I'll go to my senior brother and ask him to find a prescription for eradicating the plague." Li Jiyang said anxiously: "There are also medicinal materials to be prepared."

"He has a prescription for eliminating the plague?" Ying Zheng was suddenly surprised.

Plague is a natural disaster in this era, and it is a demon with ten rooms and nine empty spaces!

Everyone has endured it, and no one thought of using medicine to treat it... Even if it is medicine, it is only a few unique people, such as the king, such as the prince, such as the nobles, etc. These privileged classes have this ability.

And it has to be an experimental drug.

In this era, even food is scarce, let alone medicinal materials.
