Little Bean!
Zhao Tuo took a deep breath.
Beans, or soybeans, were usually grown in the Great Qin region for three harvests every two years.
If he remembered correctly, this spring was the season for harvesting soybeans in these three counties!
However, soybeans were drought-resistant crops. Once there was too much rain…
At this moment, Zhao Tuo was not the only one who thought of this.
After hearing this news, the faces of Ying Zheng and the others changed drastically!
This kind of rainstorm was still manageable for a short period of time.
If this continued for too long, then the harvest of the people of these two counties would be completely gone!
What was even more terrifying was that Hanoi County was next to the river.
Once the rainstorm continued, the river water would definitely grow rapidly.
At that time…perhaps the East County downstream would suffer a huge flood!
Of course, the premise was that the rain would continue.
However, the probability of this happening was still very small.
Therefore, apart from Zhao Tuo, Ying Zheng and the others were still a little worried.
However, he didn't feel that this was the moment where he couldn't afford any delay.
Seemingly sensing Zhao Tuo's worry, Ying Zheng suddenly reminded him,""Even though I don't know how you learned that Great Qin would have a famine, this matter cannot be said lightly.”
Zhao Tuo nodded.
"Zhen understands. The imperial family's reputation is more important, right?”
Storing up grain could be said to be in preparation for future disasters, but if there was a famine or rain now, the sky would clear up after the rain.
That would be embarrassing.
Moreover, he wasn't too sure if the torrential rain he saw had anything to do with this storm.
However…he still had to make some preparations.
"Prime Minister Feng, pass on my orders to the governors of Yingchuan and Sishui to prepare for the continuous rainstorm and the famine.”
"Also, order Hanoi County to pay close attention to the rain and the water level of the river. Inform East County in advance.”
"Here!"
"Minister Meng, urge the internal historian and the national treasury to hurry up and exchange all the grain.”
"Here!"
After giving the order, Zhao Tuo sighed.
With the citizens 'prejudice against Great Qin, even if he said it, they would say that it was because of him or that he was cursed.
The people of this era…were ignorant, ignorant, laughable, and even more pitiful.
What he had to do in the near future was to try his best to restore the prestige and reputation of Xianyang Palace in the hearts of the people.
"Your Majesty…"
Feng Quji called Zhao Tuo back to his senses.
"Right now, there is no conclusion to the famine, but the people are already complaining.”
"Do you think we should think of a way to appease the people?”
"If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be some trouble…"
Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this.
"Prime Minister Feng is right. The commoners have been filled with resentment towards Great Qin, and the exchange of grain will definitely infuriate them.”
"In addition, there are the remnants of the six countries who have been secretly coveting Great Qin's territory. If this drags on…there will definitely be rebels!”
"Don't worry…"
Zhao Tuo calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of the warm tea.
"I have already thought of a countermeasure…"
As he spoke, Zhao Tuo opened the system interface.
Looking at the three large words 'Unused' behind the skill, the corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly...
……
"Something big has happened! Something big has happened. Everyone, go and look at the notice!”
On the bustling main street of Xianyang City, a loud shout attracted everyone's attention.
When the citizens who had been farting on the express line heard that there was a show to watch, they quickly swarmed to the main street's notice office.
Two Qin soldiers were guarding the place, and a middle-aged man who looked like a civil official was reading the contents of the high world over and over again in front of the notice to ensure that the illiterate commoners could understand the contents.
"The First Emperor abdicates the throne and the Second Emperor ascends the throne. Three days later, at the northern peak of Mount Li outside Xianyang City, the people will worship the heavens and worship the gods!”
"Did you hear that? The second emperor was going to perform the Pilgrimage Ceremony in three days!”
"You don't have to fart, we're not deaf.”
"His Majesty is really brave. Now that Xianyang is in such a mess, he doesn't want to govern but only wants to worship. He's not afraid of any accidents.”
I only know that you're going to have an accident…"
"That's true. I'm afraid that not only will the people not bow down, but they will also be filled with resentment, right?”
"I don't know why His Majesty would choose a small Mount Li to hold the Pilgrimage instead of Mount Tai.”
"Where is Young Master Fusu? Why wasn't Young Master Fusu the one who inherited the position of Fengshan, but this…sob.”
"If you want to die, don't drag everyone down!”
"This is too chaotic. Let's go quickly. Three days later, we'll leave the city to watch the show.”
"Sigh, I hope Xianyang City can still be peaceful…"
All kinds of voices could be heard from the people.
However, overall, it was still possible to see the dissatisfaction of the commoners towards Zhao Tuo.
Killing Zhao Gao and exchanging for food were not enough to make the commoners so resistant.
The reason why the situation was so tense now was because of the people who harbored evil intentions and the foolish nature of the commoners!
……
In the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Tuo was reading today's memorials accompanied by Little Peach.
Lu Bu suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"My lord, the notice has been posted!”
"Very good…"
Zhao Tuo put down his brush, stood up, and walked out of the hall.
Looking at the clear view of Mount Li in the distance, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"You saw it so clearly…"
"I hope that the people of Xianyang City will be able to see it so clearly in three days!”
