Time passed.
Soon, ten days passed and the storm finally stopped.
At that moment, Li Si arrived at Zhangtai Palace in a panic.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Hanzhong County, Nanyang County, Hedong County, and Shangdang County have all suffered from major floods.”
Ying Zheng was reading memorials when he heard these words.
"What? There are floods in so many places?”
" These places are adjacent to the river and Han River," Li Si said." Floods happen every year, but today's disaster is more serious."”
The rivers of the Qin Dynasty and the Han River corresponded to the current Yellow River and Yangtze River respectively.
Whether it was before the Qin Dynasty or now, any place near these two rivers was prone to floods.
" Then, what do you think we should do now?" Ying Zheng said with a grave look." The national treasury has been emptied, and I don't know how to save it."”
" Fortunately, Young Master reminded me in time," Li Si said." I sent people to reinforce the dams in many places overnight. Otherwise, the disaster would have been even more serious."”
"As for how to save it, I'm afraid we'll have to gather all the officials to discuss this matter.”
"Your Majesty, something big has happened."
At this moment, Feng Quji walked in from outside.
"Why are you so panicked?" Ying Zheng asked.
"A meteorite appeared in Chu," Feng Quji said."It says…I dare not say."”
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed." Tell me what is written on it," he said." I forgive you."”
Feng Quji said," It's written that the tyrant has no way, causing the people to be in dire straits. Today, the heavens have sent a flood to punish the fatuous ruler.”
"What? That's nonsense."
When Li Si heard this, he immediately said angrily,""Your Majesty, this must be a rumor deliberately fabricated by someone. Your Majesty must not believe it.”
Ying Zheng's face darkened as he looked at Feng Quji and said,""What is written on it?”
Feng Quji said," The tyrant has no way and caused the people to be in dire straits. Today, the heavens have sent a flood to punish the fatuous ruler.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face turned extremely ugly, and he took two steps back.
"I am a tyrant? Ha, I swept across the six countries, unified the world, and let the people never suffer from the pain of war again. Who can compare to me?”
"Now you actually call me a tyrant and a fatuous ruler?”
" Your Majesty," Li Si said," this must be the doing of the remnants of the Six Nations. Please don't take it seriously, Your Majesty."”
" Meteorite falling from the sky?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said," How can the remnants of the six dynasties create such a thing?"”
"This…"
Li Si was speechless.
Great Qin was a feudal dynasty.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was very superstitious and believed that immortals existed in the world.
Therefore, he naturally believed that it was true.
" Your Majesty," Feng Quji said," whether the meteorite is real or not, we should think of a way to remedy it as soon as possible. We can't let the people start a riot."”
"Otherwise, we'll definitely give the remnants of the Six Nations a chance.”
"In addition, I heard that although His Majesty has issued an order not to increase the price of grain, someone took advantage of this opportunity to purchase grain on a large scale.”
"If I'm not wrong, it should be done by the remnants of the six dynasties.”
Ying Zheng's face turned dark as he said," The remnants of the six dynasties, they are the remnants of the six dynasties again! These damn things! How dare they oppose me at this time! I will not let them off easily!"”
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Li Si asked.”
" The national treasury is empty now," Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face." We have to think of another way to help the victims."”
"Isn't Young Master Yingyun acquainted with Widow Ba?" Li Si asked. Why don't we find Young Master to think of a way?"
"That's right. If Widow Ba is willing to help, we should be able to resolve this disaster."”
"Alright, now you all follow zhen to find Yun 'er.”
As these words rang out, the three of them walked towards Ganquan Palace.
Ganquan Palace.
Ying Yun was eating.
However, there was a beautiful woman in front of him.
This woman was none other than Widow Ba Qing.
"I really didn't expect you to be so good at drinking and cooking.”
Widow Ba picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth as she praised.
"Now you should be able to tell me why you're looking for me, right?" Ying Yun said.”
Widow Ba said," I thought you knew everything, but it seems like you don't."”
"I didn't go out during this period of time, so I naturally don't know what happened outside."”
Ever since he returned to Ganquan Palace, he had been making paper every day.
In addition, it had been raining heavily for ten consecutive days, so he did not go anywhere.
"Ever since the storm, there have been many unidentified people buying food in large quantities," Widow Ba said.”
"The price of food will rise during a rainstorm. It's not strange that someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune."”
Widow Ba said," If they were ordinary merchants, it wouldn't be strange for them to buy food. But these people aren't merchants. They're a group of strangers who suddenly appeared."”
"If I'm not wrong, they're all survivors of the Six Nations.”
Ying Zheng's expression froze, and he looked at Widow Ba Qing in surprise, saying,""Are you doing business or collecting information?”
" Of course I'm a businessman," Widow Ba said with a smile." But I've been doing business for so many years. Is it difficult for me to know this information?"”
"It's not difficult for you, but why are you telling me?" Ying Yun nodded.”
Widow Ba said," Because you helped me before and even treated me to such delicious food. Naturally, I have to help you."”
Ying Yun said," But these are all small matters. After ten consecutive days of torrential rain, there will definitely be floods. Now, the national treasury is already empty, so…"
"I knew you didn't have any good intentions by helping me. You must be using me." Widow Ba smiled.”
Ying Yun didn't deny it." You can say that. But I'm doing this for the people. If I need money, I have many ways to earn it. I'll definitely earn more than you."”
Widow Ba's eyes narrowed as she looked at Ying Yun in disbelief.
"What, you don't believe me?"
Widow Ba said," I believe that a prince can manage a country, but I don't believe that he's better at doing business than me."”
"In my opinion, if you want to make money in business, you have to have something that others don't have. Moreover, you have to have something that customers need."”
"If you have both, it's actually very easy to earn money.”
"That's true, but do you have it?”
Ying Yun faintly smiled. He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Widow Ba. He said,"Let me show you this."
Widow Ba reached out and took it. With just a glance, she revealed a disdainful expression. She wanted to say, wasn't this just a piece of white cloth?
However, she was soon stunned because she realized that it didn't seem to be cloth.
"What is this?"
Ying Yun said," This is paper. Although it's not as good as cloth, it's cheaper than cloth. Whether it's used to write or record things, it's very convenient.”
"Most importantly, its production cost is lower than cloth. If you agree to help the disaster victims, I can give you the technology to make this paper.”
"But the prerequisite is that you have to give me half of the money you earn.”
