Emperor Qin

However, in this troublesome time, Qin Huang resolutely made the next decision.

He is going to tour the east again!

For a time, the ruling and opposition parties were turned on their backs in an instant.

Even Yan Jiang was stunned, worried that Ah Zheng had been beaten by reality, how could he act so recklessly?

What about famine?

Famine represents refugees, chaos, and danger.

And now the Lord of Great Qin actually wants to go to the east of the Six Kingdoms before this great barren year. Isn't this adding to the chaos?

But Qin Huang's reasons are very sufficient: "In today's world, the governance of the Qin State is not stable, and the people of the world are not at ease. To rest the land. Why don't you go?"

"You just want to go out, what excuses are you looking for?" Yan Dong sighed, "Do you know how much it costs you to come and go?"

Qin Huang calmed down, opened a memorial book, pulled Ajiang into his arms, and showed him his income from the Shaofu: "Ajiang neither allowed me to repair the palace, nor allowed me to cast golden men. There is nowhere to put the copper coins?"

Yan Jiang hissed lightly, looking at the terrifying numbers on the playbook, he was momentarily surprised.

It was his negligence. In recent years, there have been income from sugar production, papermaking, drama, commercial taxation, market, water tankers, grain seeds, etc., and the income of the Shaofu has been increasing day by day. However, Emperor Qin has not built the Great Wall or the buildings all over Guanzhong. His palace group has not toured the world. In the past two years, he only has palaces and Lishan Mausoleum. He does not have the huge harem group and descendants group. Facing such a huge private treasury of the Shaofu, it is normal that it cannot be used up.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Yan Jiang recalled a little, Ah Zheng is rich, and he wants to waste money!

More than that, he also wanted to let the world see while he was making waves, and earn a reputation for this famine relief.

If you stop it—that's all, this iron-headed bird will not give up on hitting anything, and can't be persuaded.

I just hope he doesn't run into the big iron stick again.

"During the east tour, order all the troops to carry the grain from Guanzhong, go east to the dry land, provide relief along the way, open up the mountains and forests, make up for the shortage, reduce or exempt the tax burden, so as to settle the refugees. So, A Jiang still thinks I am disturbing the people?" Qin Huang asked leisurely. .

Yan Jiang smiled slightly, took the initiative to pour tea and handed it to His Majesty's lips, and praised: "Your Majesty's city is like the sea, and his chest is beautiful. It's because I'm worrying too much."

Qin Huang drank the tea with satisfaction.

He has never been a person who resigns himself to fate, and knows how to find opportunities in difficulties. All troubles will not be his hindrances, but will only be his motivation to move forward.

But Yan Jiang still has this worry: "Nowadays there is a severe drought in the Central Plains, and the distribution of grain in Guanzhong is probably too late?"

Saving people is like putting out a fire. If Qin Huang had packed his bags and walked over slowly, he might have died of cold.

Emperor Qin was confident: "The dignitaries everywhere have surplus food. I order the county guards to collect and borrow food. After the disaster, it will be deducted from the tax. There will be no refugees everywhere. A Jiang can rest assured."

Yan Jiang felt something was wrong: "What did you do again?"

The rich and powerful must have surplus food, but it is undoubtedly unlikely that they will be given out.

Qin Huang just showed him a "Relocation Order" indifferently.

The names, names, and wealth of powerful and wealthy households from all over the country are written on it, densely packed, and those who meet the wealth standards are required to move to Xianyang within the specified time.

Yan Jiang understood it in seconds, but he had to admire Qin Huang's sharp thinking.

Emperor Qin had moved to Xianyang long ago, intending to cut off the foundation of the power of the six countries, but Yan Jiang has always suggested that the matter be postponed for the time being - after a power vacuum occurs in a place, it will inevitably be chaotic for a long time, and disorder is The most terrifying state, so giving some preparation time will make the policy resistance much smaller.

But Qin Huang used this trick in this disaster relief - think about it, for these tyrants, no matter how much food there is, their family can't finish it. Of course he can not give it, but the monk can't run away from the temple If they delay, they will always move to Xianyang, and they may be liquidated.

In addition, Qin Huang's parade is coming soon, if a displeased person intervenes and asks for punishment, it will be a catastrophe.

Under such circumstances, the most sensible thing is to be obedient and hand in the food you have saved so hard to avoid accidents, and even show up enthusiastically. If you can show your face in front of Qin Huang, it will be a bloody profit.

As for whether Emperor Qin would visit them, it was up to fate.

So Yan Jiang praised the king again, and Qin Huang became more and more happy.

However, this approach also has a big problem.

"These tyrants enter the pass, I'm afraid there will be many hiding and few at risk." Yan Jiang sighed.

It is not stupid for Haoqiang to be a local snake for so long. Let alone the Xiang family of the Chu state, the Tian family of the Qi state, and the Li family of the Zhao state, it is absolutely impossible for them to come to Guanzhong. The biggest possibility for them is to change their names and hide themselves. Go to the mountains and wait for the opportunity to move.

"Naturally," Qin Huang had thought of this point long ago, and said coldly, "Those who enter the pass will not be investigated; those who do not enter, once found out, will be savages and will never be forgiven."

In other words, if you do it according to the regulations, you will be recognized as obedient citizens of Qin. If you do not follow the rules, you will be a savage who will never be able to enter the household registration of the Qin State. As a slave, unless the Qin eradicates, you will say goodbye to civilized society forever.

Now that His Majesty knew it well, Yan Jiang was relieved and let the king continue to work hard, while he walked out of the palace to find Xiangliyun.

When Ah Zheng travels, he must be accompanied by him. He needs to prepare chores for the trip.

The Shaofu is in the south corner of the palace. When he passed by, Xiang Liyun was thinking about the keel cart that Yan Jiang had mentioned to him, and repeatedly revised the drawings.

Yan Zi of this kind of keel car can only describe roughly, and the Mo family has to figure out the specific details.

If successful, it will be very beneficial to water conservancy projects in various places.

Yan Jiang stepped forward to place an order.

"You want rat meat again?" Xiangli Yun felt a little headache, "A few days ago there was a plague in the rat house, and there were heavy casualties, but last time you took the stock to Hexi, can you give it a little more time?"

"Your Majesty can do it before the tour." Yan Jiang counted the days, "If there are new products, they can be sent by the post."

"Why does your tiger have to eat rat meat, and it's not a raccoon slave." Xiang Liyun was still a little puzzled, but didn't ask further, "Okay, I'll send it to you later."

"It would be good to deliver to Huahua with other food." Yan Jiang said calmly.

"Understood," Xiang Liyun felt a little helpless, "You have to worry about eating and drinking every day, and I don't see you caring so much for His Majesty."

Yan Jiangxin said what do you know, but didn't explain, just nodded and left.

He turned his head to look at Beast Wan and Huahua.

The weather in May is already hot, Huahua is soaking in the pool to cool off, only half of her head is exposed, and when she sees her master coming, she climbs ashore, walks on catwalks, walks up to her master, and rubs her big head against her hand.

Yan Jiang sat beside it, stretched out his hand to stroke its prickly fur, and looked at the garden pool as vast as a lake.

When he went to Hexi, he did not bring Huahua. For a 15-year-old tiger, crossing the desert was too dangerous. This time, it was not good to bring Huahua.

"Huahua, we are all old." Yan Jiang rubbed its chin and smiled lightly.

Huahua grunted, enjoyed the service from her master, and flicked her tail.

"Ah Zheng has some secrets, he doesn't want to tell me," Yan Jiang sighed softly, then smiled again, "But it doesn't matter, we all have secrets."

Huahua couldn't understand this, so it lazily leaned against its master, putting its head in his arms.

It is already a retired tiger.

Qin Huang's car drove very fast, and basically did not make any preparations, or Qin Huang started preparations for such a parade very early, maybe it had already started the last time he went home.

This time he did not take the last travel route Hangu Pass, but followed the Wuguan pass that Yan Jiang passed through, and went down to Nanjun, planning to go to the Central Plains along the Huaihe River.

Because of the shadow of the boat ride last time, Qin Huang was unwilling to go down the Han River again, and would rather take a car with a little bumps.

Fortunately, the improved four-wheeled car body is wrapped with thick "gold glue", and there are leaf springs to absorb the shock, and the bumps are limited. Qin Huang even sat in a convertible car with a canopy, and took his lover in the same car , watching the scenery along the way.

Of course, this is something that only happens in open places. Generally, in complex areas such as dense forest trails, Qin Huang has a strong desire to survive and enters the auxiliary car with six types of the same shape, so as not to be hit by a cold arrow from somewhere. .

Qin Huang is very satisfied with the situation in Nanjun. Not only has there been a very large area of ​​sugar cane and pepper, but also a very large scale of grapes. The wine shop is the most important area for defense in Nanjun. It can be said that even mosquitoes can’t fly. go in.

The wine is second, and the medicine that can be made from the wine corner is the most important thing.

According to the county guard Teng, relying on the magical medicine of water gu worm disease, he has basically quelled the harassment of the Yi people on the southern border, and even handed over the power of Chu State under his rule very cleanly.

The county town of Jiangling has become the most important commodity distribution center in the southwest.

The place is full of nobles from Southwestern Yi who come to ask for medicine at any time, and there are even Yi people from Dian and Yelang who come to treat diseases from afar. After seeing the prosperity of Jiangling, most of them are unwilling to go home, or they just become Merchants from their hometown and the state of Qin have formed two business routes that go deep into the southwest.

The county governor Teng then took out a detailed map of the distribution of the Southwestern Yi, telling how the small tribes there were often oppressed by the big tribes, robbing their hard-earned goods and grains, and hoped that Daqin would be the master for them.

Many of them even expressed their hearts, as long as His Majesty allows, these small tribes are willing to return to the Great Qin.

Qin Huang was not very interested in the feelings of the small tribe. He was pleased that A Jiang's arrangement back then finally took effect.

The terrain in the south is complicated, and it is far more difficult to find the main force of the Yi people than the tribes of the grassland.

But with the support of these small tribes, the expedition to the southwest would no longer be a problem.
