Chapter seventy-two, countermeasures
"Perhaps we can send troops to attack the city and grab the granary in the city, and use the city as an exchange, so that the kings of their country can exchange it for a large amount of food. If we can, we will not die so many people and preserve our national strength. If we cannot, we will continue to attack the city until we grab enough food.
But in the same way, we captured the city and transported the food back to Qin, and the local people would have no food. So I think it would be better to return those cities and could also be used to exchange food, otherwise those people would starve to death."
Yaoxing thought about it and was also asking Lu Buwei for his opinion. After all, Zhao Zheng had never taken charge of the government, and he was mostly in his hands. If he had the same idea as Zhao Zheng, it would be the same as the king and the ministers. If his ideas were inconsistent, it would be that he would find a way to convince Zhao Zheng. If Lu Buwei firmly opposed it, even if Yaoxing persuaded Zhao Zheng, it would probably not be possible.
Lu Buwei paced with his hands behind his back, sighed after a few breaths, and said, "Since you insist on doing this, let me tell you the king as you want!"
Yaoxing couldn't see his expression, but he had an intuition in his heart that Lu Buwei would not compromise so easily, and he might have other plans.
For a moment, Yao Xingling didn't know how to guess: "I don't know what the Prime Minister has, Yao Xing could also convey it to the king."
"With your intelligence and intelligence, it is enough to allow the Qin Dynasty to survive this disaster. I believe in you." Lu Buwei looked like a hand-off manager and left slowly regardless of this matter.
Yaoxing looked at his back and was so angry that he tore the veil. This year he was just a bad harvest. He could still be so leisurely. After the locust plague next year, see if he is anxious!
After stomping his feet, Yaoxing had to go to see Zhao Zheng. Now he must be worried alone in the study!
Sure enough, Zhao Zheng sat alone at the desk and was stunned. The bamboo abbreviation on the table described the food failure this year.
Yaoxing stepped forward and put away the bamboo slips, whispered: "It's not a strange thing to encounter disaster in the Qin Dynasty. Haven't you been through every time safely!"
"But every time, countless people were killed or injured, and it took two or three years for the Qin Dynasty to recover as usual." Zhao Zheng's tone was dull, which showed his heartache.
Yao Xing felt a little distressed, walked behind Zhao Zheng, reached over his neck and gently hugged him.
"Now, you have to find a way to let the people survive this famine, rather than immerse yourself in sorrow when you, the king, make a decision."
Zhao Zheng turned his head to Yaoxing and said, "The Qin State has been fighting for years, and the grain from the granary has been transported to the battlefield. Now the granary is empty and there is no grain to provide disaster relief."
"Now, Qin State can't avoid the meticulous work of other countries. The grain harvest cannot be concealed. It's probably difficult for Liao Bo's caravan to transport grain back."
This is also a solution, even if it is difficult, you have to try it. Although the Qin State is now famine, it is not too serious. It is obvious that countries are taking advantage of the situation. Even if you buy grain at a high price, as long as you can buy it, it is good.
Otherwise, the locust plague next year will lead to even shortage of food in Qin. I am afraid that other countries will unite and add to the injustice. By then, even if the troops are sent to attack the city, they may not be able to grab much food. After all, Qin is warlike and well-known to all countries.
