At this moment.
Ying Zheng was reading memorials in Zhangtai Palace, humming a folk song of Great Qin. He was in a very happy mood.
Ever since he found Zhao Qiu, this was the first time he had seen him so defeated.
Kai Sen!
However...
All of a sudden, Ying Zheng felt his body tremble violently. He could not help but shudder, as if something bad was about to happen.
Could it be that Zhao Qiu is slandering me behind my back again?
Ying Zheng thought in his heart.
He was right.
At this moment, Zhao Qiu was thinking about how to deal with him in the mansion!
......
Time passed day by day.
Summer had already entered the hot season, the hottest time of the year.
Moreover, Great Qin's weather was exceptionally hot this year, and it had been a month since it had rained.
Terrifying scars appeared in countless worlds. Many small rivers and streams revealed their riverbeds. Countless fields had no water in a radius of hundreds of miles!
Great Qin welcomed an unprecedented drought!
However...
The drought was not the most terrifying thing.
As the old saying goes, locusts will appear when the drought is extreme!
Every time there was a drought, there would be a locust plague!
Therefore, such dry and hot weather was the most suitable environment for locusts to grow and reproduce.
This time was no exception!
Countless locusts flew in the fields, devouring the leaves and roots of the crops, leaving behind a barren land!
The locust plague and drought had caused the entire empire to panic.
Ying Zheng and the other officials were extremely busy, but they were helpless!
In this technologically backward Great Qin, facing such a natural disaster, they could only admit that they were unlucky!
Zhangtai Palace.
All the officials and Ying Zheng were having a headache over the drought and locust plague. Only Zhao Qiu remained calm, not panicking at all, but not saying a word.
"Dear ministers, with the drought and locust plague, the crops in the fields will definitely be destroyed!”
"When the autumn harvest comes, there will be no food, and countless people will starve to death. It might even cause chaos within the Great Qin Empire!”
"What should we do?"
"Do you have any good solutions?"
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng faced the ministers and asked, his face filled with anxiety and unease.
He had read about drought and locust plagues in ancient books and understood how powerful they were!
A thousand miles of barren land!
Nothing!
Corpses were floating all over the ground!
It was definitely a once-in-a-century natural disaster!
He had never thought that such a terrifying natural disaster would happen in Great Qin!
This had disrupted his plans!
Food was the most important thing for the people!
Without food, the commoners would naturally search for food without regard for anything else. Some of them would even erupt into an uprising when they had nowhere else to go!
The remnants of the Six Nations would not let go of this golden opportunity!
At that time!
Great Qin's internal affairs would definitely be in turmoil!
If that happened, how could Great Qin conquer the world?
Ying Zheng waited anxiously, looking at all the ministers expectantly, hoping that someone could offer him a good plan.
but...
Time ticked by, but no one stepped forward to speak.
There was only endless silence!
The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
sigh ~
How could such a natural disaster be countered by human strength?
Forget it! Forget it!
It was better to think about how to deal with the drought and what would happen after the locust plague!
Looking at the silent ministers, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly in his heart.
Ha! How dare you snatch my Vitality Pill!
Retribution is coming!
Actually, the locust plague and drought weren't that difficult to resolve.
However...
Although I have a way, I just don't want to say it. I just want to play. Sigh!
Ying Zheng: (*▽*)
The surprise came too suddenly!
It caught him off guard!
He had never expected that Zhao Qiu, who stood silently in the Imperial Court, had already thought of a good plan!
However, this kid was still very vengeful!
He actually didn't give me advice because I asked him for 50 Vitality Pills last time.
Damn it!
You clearly have 1,000 Vitality Pills. What's wrong with giving some to your father?？
"Internal Secretary Zhao, you are the number one strategist of the Great Qin Empire.”
"Is there a solution?
Ying Zheng asked Zhao Qiu with a smile, full of hope, hoping that he would tell him the specific solution.
"This is a natural disaster!"
"No matter how resourceful I am, I can't solve it. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me!”
Zhao Qiu stood out with a miserable and helpless look on his face, which made Ying Zheng's eyelids twitch!
Acting!
Continue acting with me!
Do you think I didn't hear your inner thoughts?
There was a way, but he could not get it. Ying Zheng's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's paw, extremely itchy!
Humph!
Anxious!
In fact, the solution was not difficult.
As long as the water from the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and other major rivers was guided into the tributaries of the small rivers, it would be enough to irrigate the farmland. Although it was not enough to irrigate all the farmland in the world, it would not be a problem for the people to survive the drought.
As for the locust plague, it was even simpler!
He could just eat it directly!
Locusts were rich in protein, vitamins, insect hormones, and many other active substances. They also contained vitamins A, B, C, and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Mn. Their nutritional value was high!
After the oil was heated, he stir-fried it with chili and sprinkled some sesame and cumin. It was super delicious!
No, I can't think about it. I'm drooling!
After the court session ends, I'll go get some food!
At this moment.
Ying Zheng's nervous and frantic expression immediately relaxed, revealing an excited smile!
He was here! He was here!
His inner voice came with a solution!
but...
As he listened to Zhao Qiu's thoughts, Ying Zheng's smile froze again!
Crooked Sun!
Why couldn't he understand it at all!
What the hell was a van?
Can locusts be eaten?
protein, vitamins. What were hormones?
But this brat said that it was very delicious!
This was so f * cking awkward!
At this moment, Ying Zheng felt as if he had a peerless martial art, but he could not understand it at all!
He felt extremely miserable!
He had no choice!
He could only rely on this brat!
Immediately after.
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and stomped his foot!
