Who in the northern border doesn't know that since Ying Xi came to the northern border, he has been busy in the fields with Ying horse every day, but he has had fun with the people. Whose crops grow the best, whose crops grow the best The harvest is the most, who can hide it from his eyes, because with Princess Daisy in the northern border, the crops can only be planted once a year.

Chapter 580 God Can't Help Me!

At this time, Ying Xizhen was lying on a rocking chair in his courtyard and looking at the eastern sky. The heavy rain came at an untimely time, but it was so good to catch up with the autumn harvest. If this happened, the people of Daqin might suffer!

"Master, are you basking in the sun?"

Looking at Ying Xi lying in a daze on the rocking chair, Ying Ziye couldn't help joking.

"You kid, that gust of wind blows you over!"

"I don't miss you anymore, let's take a look."

Nowadays, I am afraid that only Ying Xi and Ying Ziye can still joke like a child. In front of outsiders, he is the invincible King of the North. This kind of joke is naturally not in line with his identity.

"Nothing to show courteousness, rape or steal, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Master, how is the grain and grass in the north this year?"

"Isn't this your northern border? Why do you remember to ask me?"

"Mohong"

Ying Xi looked at Ying Ziye impatiently. This kid said he didn't want to worry about him in the north, but now he asked him everything, as if he was a housekeeper for him.

"You are not with the people every day, so naturally you can learn first-hand information!"

"The production capacity is good. Didn't Rome fight with the Peacock Kingdom and the Seleucid Kingdom a few days ago, and the grain was not sold. Now Beijing has abundant grain reserves!"

Since the establishment of the Silk Road, these merchants who followed Longlong to the northern border have already started their operations, trading and selling between the western countries and the northern border.Food was also an important material they exchanged. It was only when the three kingdoms were fighting that the balance was not in the west for a while, so the food and grass were stranded in the north.

"This is God helping me!"

"What bad idea are you kidding again!"

"This time, I want to show kindness and help the people of Daqin!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Xi knew what Ying Ziye was going to do.

"You want to take the opportunity to gather all the people of Daqin to the northern border? To increase the strength of the northern border?"

"Master, why don't I say you're smart! You can tell what I'm up to!"

Yingxi ignored it and closed his eyes to bask in the sun. The struggle between countries is not what he wants to know now.

Ever since Fusu became the censor doctor, Daqin has been developing in a good direction, but this heavy rain really caught Daqin by surprise, who made Ying Ziye have the ability to have a good wife!

"Master, don't be upset. It's not what I want to do. God has helped me like this. There is really no way!"

Ying Ziye walked out of the yard with a proud face, and Ying Xi behind him couldn't help scolding him shamelessly in his heart.

"The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped!"

After ten days of heavy rain, it finally stopped. If it continues to rain, some places in Daqin may collapse.

"How do you get out here? It's raining in front of the door!"

The people were eager to go out and check how their crops were doing, but the heavy rain buried all the roads, and they dared not move forward rashly.

"careful!"

A man was about to step out of his house when he saw the flood water pouring down from the mountain, submerging him in an instant, but disappeared in an instant.

"Father!"

"Help! Help him!"

Only the orphans and widows at home were left crying bitterly in front of the door. This kind of situation was staged everywhere in Daqin. For a while, the people did not dare to step out of the house, but the mountain torrent could not be escaped by hiding at home. , the villages near the mountains were submerged by mountain torrents, and only the cities on the plains were safer.

It's just that the city is flooded with water!

"See Your Majesty!"

"The rain has stopped, do you have any solutions?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, now that the mountain torrents are pouring, the immediate rescue is useless! I'm afraid we can only save the people by dispatching the army!"

Although Wang Wan insisted that the matter had nothing to do with herself, but this time was no longer the time to stay out of it, so she had no choice but to make a bad plan. There was no clever plan for Da Qin at this time, only the most clumsy method.

"I would like to ask for an order to lead troops to the mountains to rescue the people!"

Before anyone else could speak, Fusu stood up first. As a doctor of imperial history, Fusu naturally didn't have to go, but when the people were in dire straits, how could Fusu have the heart to ignore the people.

"Okay, I'm sure! Tomorrow, we will send troops to the mountainous areas to rescue them!"

Fortunately, there are garrisons all over the border that can be dispatched at any time. In the south of the Lingnan area where Meng Tian is stationed, the floods in the mountains are the most raging, and the general camp is almost buried in it. This Lingnan is surrounded by mountains, all of which are towering mountains. The best defense is now a nightmare for the people of Daqin!

The entire Great Qin wailed and wailed, and the people were in dire straits!

"Brother, His Majesty has an order to send troops to rescue the people, and Eldest Prince Fusu has arrived with the order!"

"Fusu?"

Meng Tian is naturally the most supportive of Mr. Fusu, but in the past few years, Fusu has always been submissive, this time he took the initiative to ask for an order to rescue the people, which really impressed Meng Tian... .

"Yes, the eldest son has been escorted here, and it is said that His Majesty has opened a warehouse to help the people."

"I'm afraid this flood can't be solved by simple rescue. Now Daqin is in disaster, and the people's crops are countless. I just hope there won't be a big famine!"

Meng Tian had seen the chaotic scene during the six kingdoms war, how many displaced people ate for a bite!

Meng Tian never wanted to experience such a tragic scene.

"Brother, it's strange for me to say that it's raining, but there is no cloud in the north, why is it only in the sky of Daqin!"

It is not necessary for Meng Yi to say, Meng Tian is also looking at the sky these days, only to see that the sun is shining brightly on the northern side every day, except for the first day when the clouds are dense, every day is like this, it seems that it is really favored by heaven.

"Maybe it's God's will?"

"Is it really God's will?"

Hou Shen looked at the treasury in the treasury, looking at the gold and silver obtained by hijacking the rich and powerful businessmen with great difficulty. The treasury was finally filled up, but now it is about to spit it out again, no one will give it up!

"Great Master, Your Majesty has a decree, ordering you to deliver the grain and grass to the Lingnan Mountains and other places within two days!"

"The minister leads the order!"

Nowadays, these traders come out of the deep plains even at the risk of floods to sell grain. There is a steady stream of grain in the northern border, but the price of grain and grass has been raised several times for a while. These people Among them, you are doing business with your life. How can you go to sea without huge profits?

Due to the war in the west in the northern border, Tunya's grain and grass became a tight commodity in an instant. It's just that the gold and silver in the treasury of the Great Qin State, I don't know if there is enough to exchange for these grains and grass. .

Chapter 581 Hu Hai: Waiting for the Widow here!

The flood washed away all the roads. Although the official roads were not damaged, they were covered with rainwater as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to travel.

Fusu's army waded through the roads, but compared to the people in the Lingnan Mountains, what they saw along the way was that the disaster had not yet come, except for the heavy rain hitting the city.

"My lord, if you go further ahead, you will be at the border of Lingnan. There are many mountains there. Now that the flood has washed away, it may be difficult to drive, so we have to switch to riding!"

"Okay, prepare the horse!"

Fusu, who has always won the weak, is much stronger this time. Under such a harsh terrain, someone else might not be able to persevere.

"Sir, slow down!"

"We have to rush to Lingnan as soon as possible to meet with General Meng. Presumably they have already started rescue!"

At this time, the two Meng Tian brothers who were in the south of the Lingnan, set up their camp on a plain that is rare in places that do not suffer from mountain torrents. It is not easy to find a high-lying plain in the south of the Lingnan, but the people are not so lucky. There are many people under the hillside, and the mountain torrents will fly down in an instant. If there is no time to escape, even if 29 survives by chance, his family will be destroyed and he will be displaced.

"Brother, a team has lost contact, and now the army's food and grass are almost bottomed out!"

Ever since the heavy rain stopped, Meng Tian led the soldiers to search and rescue below. Although the results are obvious, but after all, many people were saved, and there were many mouths in the barracks. Originally, due to the heavy rain, the traffic was inconvenient, and the rations in the army Cao Ben was nervous, so he would rather starve himself than let the people suffer from hunger and cold. The situation in the barracks was very tragic.

"How long can the food and grass last?"

"According to the current number of people, it can last for five or six days at most. If the supply of food and grass is not enough, I'm afraid it won't last!"

Soldiers in the army are also human beings, and the high-intensity search and rescue has consumed a lot of their physical strength. If they are hungry, Daqin's army may be in danger.

At this time, Hou Shen felt a little regretful when he saw the soaring grain prices. If he hadn't snatched these gold, silver and jewels at that time, but replaced them with grain and grass, he might not have to be so stretched now.

"Great Prime Minister, Your Majesty has sent someone to summon you to the palace to discuss matters!"

Seeing that everyone in Efang Palace had a distressed look on their faces, and everyone dared not go forward, they knew that Hu Hai was furious just now, these people were afraid that no one wanted to be a scapegoat, so they all hid away one by one.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Hou Shen, you came at the right time. The widow asked you why it has been a few days and the eldest son has almost arrived in Lingnan, but your food and grass have not left for a long time?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the grain and grass in the national treasury are only enough for the nearby disaster relief. Now the minister is buying grain and grass from the merchants. After collecting all the grain and grass, he will take it to Lingnan for disaster relief. Who would have thought that when the country is in crisis, the price of this grain and grass will be raised. It is even higher than usual. It is several times more expensive!"

When Hou Shen said this, he couldn't help feeling a little indignant. Besides, these people were not from the Great Qin, most of them were traders from the northern border. If they were the people of the Great Qin, it would be easy to say, and the court expropriated them, but the food and grass are now in the northern border. , If the price is not given, it will not be shipped, which really makes it helpless.

"It's unreasonable, these troublemakers, don't know that the national crisis is at stake, and they have made money here!"

"Order people to arrest these unscrupulous people, confiscate food and grass, and pay them at the normal price!"

Hu Hai on the throne, the bead curtain on his forehead was shaking because he was too angry!

At this time, it was even more difficult for Hou Shen to open his mouth. It would be easy for the people of Daqin to say it, but the difficulty lies here. If he said it in public, it would be inappropriate!

"promise!"

I had to take my life.

When everyone dispersed, Hou Shen didn't move for a long time, and Hu Hai also stayed when he saw this.

"Is there something else for the Great Master?"

"Back to Your Majesty, about the matter just now, I have something I want to tell Your Majesty!"

"speak!"

"These vendors who drive up prices are mostly people from the northern border. Now that Daqin's grain and grass have been flooded, only they have good grain and grass in their hands, so!"

Hou Shen didn't point it out. The matter has already reached this point. I'm afraid even a fool can tell that Daqin and the Northern Territory are in a hostile relationship. If they want to sell the grain and grass in the Northern Territory to Daqin, how can they not drive up the price? It was not something that Daqin could grasp at all.

"Okay, so he Ying Ziye is waiting for the widow here!"

Hu Hai was naturally full of anger. He had already put an end to the war with the northern border, but he did not expect to be restrained by the northern border at such a time of national calamity.

"If Your Majesty starts a war with the Northern Territory at this time, it will be disadvantageous to Daqin, so I have to bear with this tone and buy back the food and grass first. It is important to tide over the difficulties!"

Even if Hu Hai is angry, he still understands this simple truth. At this time, Daqin is already in turmoil. If the Northern Territory takes this opportunity to attack, Daqin may not be able to hold on, so why would he want to fight.

"Is the gold and silver in the treasury enough to tide us over?"

"Barely enough, but the treasury is empty!"

"Forget it, let's do this first. You gather food and grass as soon as possible and go to support Lingnan. I'm afraid that if you go down again, the people and soldiers in Lingnan will starve to death."

At this time, Hu Hai has begun to have the heart of an emperor, and he no longer takes his own personal enmity as the premise, and starts to really care about the people.If there were no people of Daqin, no one would recognize him as the King of Qin!

Although Hou Shen was reluctant to part with these gold, silver and jewels, he didn't dare to open his mouth at this time.

So he had no choice but to step back and take the gold, silver and jewelry full of the treasury to buy grain and grass at high prices.

"My lord, be careful!"

Halfway through the journey, Zeng Jin's barracks had been submerged by the flood. Fortunately, Meng Tian sent people to garrison there, waiting for Fusu's arrival, otherwise the two teams might miss it.

Fusu took a closer look, and it was the corpses of the common people that blocked his horse's way. The village that was suddenly submerged by the flood, now these floating corpses have floated out, and the whole Lingnan is full of corpses!

It took a whole two days for the group of people to arrive at the place where Meng Tian is now stationed!

"See Eldest Young Master!"

Seeing that there was no carriage transporting grain and grass behind Fusu, Meng Yi felt a little lost for a while.Three days have passed, and the existing food is only enough to last two days. If the food and grass do not arrive, the army may also face difficulties.

"General Meng please hurry up, what is the situation in Lingnan now?"

"The mountain torrents have stopped pouring, but the army has not yet searched and rescued them in some places. Now we have lost two teams. I'm afraid it's more ominous, and we encountered mountain torrents!"

There are many mountains in Lingnan, and it has been raining heavily for ten days. After this, the soil on the mountains will naturally cover the village with the flood, which is the phenomenon of mudslides.
