At this moment, even though the ministers had different thoughts, they quickly collected their thoughts and began to gather according to their usual order. Then, they prepared to enter the court to participate in politics.
However, at this moment, another small interlude occurred.
Li Si thought about it and cupped his hands at Ying Chen.""Your Highness, please!"
Who would have thought that Ying Chen would shake his head,"Minister Li has worked hard and done a great service.”
"Your Highness, please go first. You're the most respected person below His Majesty!”
"Your Highness, please go first!"
Hearing Li Si's words, the ministers and young masters behind him looked at each other and said,"
Ying Chen wasn't a person who was conflicted. Since these people wanted him to take the lead, then he would take the lead.
And so, when Ying Zheng sat on the throne, he saw Ying Chen leading all the officials and young masters slowly walking towards him!
At this moment, a bright red sun was rising behind Ying Chen!
It was as if Ying Chen would be like the rising sun, lighting up Great Qin and the empire!
What happened at this moment became Ying Zheng's eternal memory, and he would never forget it for a long time in the future!
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, then quickly composed himself, and gestured to Zhao Gao,""Go, lure the Crown Prince to the throne!”
Hearing this, Zhao Gao lowered his head in agreement. Then, he directly walked down the steps and came in front of Ying Chen.
Ying Chen nodded slightly, then followed Zhao Gao and sat on the throne beside Ying Zheng!
Only when Ying Chen sat down did the officials and young masters all sit down.
"Do you have anything to report today?"
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers below the stage, then asked.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Left Prime Minister Li Si hurriedly stepped out of the crowd.""Your Majesty, there is a drought in the east of the river. Hundreds of thousands of people have no harvest and are starving. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face darkened.
However, before Ying Zheng could give a reply, Wang Ben stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, the Xiongnu in the north are restless and have the suspicion of going south. The spiritual canal of the Baiyue in the south has been connected, and 500,000 troops are waiting for the south.”
"It's just that the military rations in the national treasury are still short of 500,000 dan.”
At this moment, it was obvious that Grand Commandant Wang Ben had seen Left Prime Minister Li Si opening the granary to relieve the disaster. In order to prevent the army from running out of food, he had no choice but to step forward and warn Ying Zheng!
As expected, upon hearing these words, Ying Zheng's already slightly furrowed brows couldn't help but furrow even tighter!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng first asked Li Si,""If we want these people to survive this winter, how much food do we need?”
On the other side, Li Si slightly lowered his head, then made some calculations, and said to Ying Zheng,""Your Majesty, according to my calculations, there are more than 400,000 people in the east of the river who do not have enough to eat. If you want to receive relief, you need at least a million dan of food.”
Li Si's estimation was normal. According to the lowest standard, a person would need at least 200 kilograms of food a year to not starve to death.
And the Qin Dynasty's stone conversion was now 109 kilograms. According to the standard of more than 400,000 people, it was indeed appropriate and accurate.
It was Li Si's ability.
However, now was not the time to praise Li Si. Seeing that Li Si was about to take a million stones of grain from the national treasury, Wang Ben was not happy.
The national treasury was already short of 500,000 dan of grain. The entire southern expedition army was like a wolf cub waiting to be fed. If these soldiers were not fed enough, it was possible that they would mutiny!
"Your Majesty, please don't!" Wang Ben quickly said. The lives of the people in the east of the river have nothing to do with us, but if the 800,000 soldiers in the south and north lack food, they will be able to attack Great Qin!”
Wang Ben raised another question, and that was the conflict between the old Qin Dynasty and the survivors of the Six Nations!
In the eyes of the old Qin people, they didn't care if these people were alive or dead!
The Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had been at war for 400 years, and many old Qin people had died at the hands of these survivors of the six dynasties. It was impossible to make them give up their interests to save the lives of the survivors of the six dynasties!
As expected, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji stood up and said,""This old official agrees with Grand Commandant Wang's words. I hope that Your Majesty will reconsider and prioritize the Great Qin army!”
"If the army is gone, what's the use of having more people?”
"Could it be that we Old Qin people can rely on these survivors of the six dynasties to protect us? Only Great Qin's Iron Army can protect us!”
When he said this, Feng Quji was in high spirits and looked at everyone present.
Hearing this, Ying Chen finally understood!
It was no wonder that the Six Nations 'survivors had never thought of stopping since the first day Great Qin was established. Even the old Qin people did not treat the Six Nations' survivors as their own people.
The old Qin soldiers, led by Grand Marshal Wang Ben and Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, didn't even care about the survivors of the Six Nations.
They could be considered to represent the interests of the old Qin people and the nobles and aristocratic families of the Qin country!
Wang Ben was not to be underestimated, he had a father who had never been in court, but had always been a General, Wang Jian!
Here, Ying Chen discovered another conflict in Great Qin's central control.
Other than the conflict between Confucianism and Legalism, there was also the conflict between the people of Old Qin and the survivors of the six dynasties!
This contradiction was manifested in the conflict between Left Prime Minister Li Si and Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and Grand Marshal Wang Jian!
At this moment, Ying Chen could not help but feel sorry for Ying Zheng and Li Si. It was not easy for them!
The people of the old Qin Dynasty and the survivors of the six dynasties did not trust each other, and they viewed each other as enemies. The current Great Qin was completely relying on Ying Zheng's supreme authority and the powerful cavalry of Great Qin.
The first Emperor Ying Zheng and the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, Li Si, were the ones who had contributed greatly to the idea of the unification of Huaxia!
Of course, the efforts of the emperors and generals in the future could not be denied.
However, this was just like the direct relationship between 0 and 1!
Ying Zheng and Li Si were the kind of people who had created the world and turned 0 into the key 1!
Thinking of this, Ying Chen felt that he couldn't continue like this.
With that, Ying Chen directly stood up,"Right Prime Minister, you're wrong!"
