As soon as these words came out, it could be said that they had enlightened Ying Zheng and all the officials in the court.
Especially Ying Zheng!
In fact, Ying Zheng had been feeling very aggrieved!
He believed that he had done a lot for the people of the world and the survivors of the six dynasties!
In the four hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many people had died. He, Ying Zheng, had unified the world and stopped fighting. What kind of meritorious service and benevolent government was this!
Why couldn't the survivors of the Six Nations understand him?
The remnants of the Six Nations rebelled, and the Hundred Schools of Thought were ready to make a move. The remnants of the Six Nations all felt nostalgic and did not acknowledge Great Qin's rule!
And at this moment, when Ying Zheng heard Ying Chen's words, he finally understood the problem!
That was because he and Great Qin had not completely won over the hearts of the people of the six countries!
At this moment, Ying Chen was still speaking with assurance!
"Everyone, think about it. What do we Old Qin people care about the most?”
"Eating, dressing, housing, getting married, and having children, are these the five things?”
"Back then, did the Shang Emperor's reform rely on telling the old Qin people that as long as they contributed to the war, they could own these five things?”
As soon as he said that, all the civil and military officials in the court, including Ying Zheng, could not help but nod.
The Great Qin Empire was founded on the basis of laws, and the entire court was filled with civil and military officials. Apart from those Confucian scholars who talked loudly, most of them knew about the sufferings of the people, especially in front of a king like Ying Zheng, who could not be fooled.
Therefore, although Ying Chen's words were slightly vulgar, he had spoken the truth that the commoners had always been pursuing!
Ying Chen laughed,"Then do you think that there is any difference between the survivors of the six dynasties and my Qin people?”
"Don't they all have one nose and two ears?”
"What is the difference between what they want and my six million old Qin people?”
Ying Chen's words were a question that all the officials in the court, including Ying Zheng, had never seriously considered.
Speaking of which, even after 2,000 years, there were still many ministers who might not be able to think from the perspective of the people, let alone in this era.
Just a few hundred years ago, most vassal states still practiced slavery.
Who could imagine that the slave owner would seriously consider what the slave wanted?
However, among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the Qin State had the most thorough reform, and there were fewer remnants of slavery!
It was also because of this that the Great Qin Empire was able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the old Qin people to the greatest extent. They cultivated and fought as one, and from a small country on the western border, they gradually became the Great Qin Empire that unified the world and swept through the six countries!
It was also because of this reason that everyone present could understand Ying Chen's words.
If it was the Chu Country from before, just based on Ying Chen's words, the voices of ridicule and opposition would be deafening!
It could be said that Ying Chen's words had opened a window for Ying Zheng and all the officials in the court!
Ying Chen looked at Ying Zheng and all the officials in the court who were deep in thought, then sighed with emotion,""As such, as long as we can give the commoners enough food, warm clothes, and houses, how can they continue to resist Great Qin?”
"You have to know that the people of China have always been the most tolerant people. As long as they have something to eat, how many of them will rebel?”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
This also proved that he agreed with Ying Chen's point of view.
"So!" Ying Chen's voice suddenly became louder as he said," This time, there is a great drought in the east of the river.”
"Not only do we have to save them, but we have to do it with great fanfare!”
"Great Qin will let the world know that Great Qin will not give up on any of its citizens. The people of Old Qin and the survivors of the six countries will all be citizens of Great Qin!”
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but exclaim.
This also proved that the one emperor of the ages had basically acknowledged Ying Chen's viewpoint!
Seeing this scene, Fu Su was shocked.
He could not understand!
Wasn't what Ying Chen said also the views of the scholarly faction?
Why were they both supporting the Confucians? Ying Zheng would definitely give Ying Chen his absolute support!
And when he, Fu Su, said this, he was often reprimanded!
At the thought of this, Fu Su looked at Ying Zheng with a hint of resentment!
Father, am I still your most beloved son?
Seeing Ying Zheng's attitude, all the officials in the court knew that the drought in the east of the river this time really needed to be relieved.
In Great Qin, Ying Zheng's will was the will of the empire!
However, Feng Quji was not completely convinced by Ying Chen.
Feng Quji came in front of Ying Chen and asked,"Then may I ask, Your Highness, where does the grain come from?”
This sentence was also the most crucial one!
It could even be said that if Ying Chen insisted on providing relief to the disaster victims while cutting off food for the army, it would offend Great Qin's millions of soldiers!
Amongst them were Wang Jian and his son, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and most of the ministers present!
After all, Great Qin had relied on military merits to establish a country, and those who could become important officials had all relied on military merits to rise up.
On the other side, Ying Chen had already predicted Feng Quji's concerns."I do!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ying Chen's words, not only Feng Quji and all the officials in the court were stunned, even Ying Zheng was stunned.
Thinking of this, Feng Quji's expression changed.""Your Highness, are you humiliating me? This is a total of 1.5 million dans of grain, how can you take it out!”
That's right, 1.5 million dans of food could feed an army of 500,000!
If it were anyone else, they would probably think that someone was crazy when they heard that someone could rely on his own strength to feed an army of 500,000!
In the entire Great Qin, only Ying Zheng was qualified to say such a thing!
Now, Great Qin's land could only produce half a stone of food, which was about 100 kilograms of food.
And most of this was for his family.
Therefore, when Ying Chen said that he had the ability to fork out 1.5 million dan of grain, none of the officials, including Feng Quji and Ying Zheng, would believe him!
However, Ying Chen didn't panic when faced with Feng Quji's question. Instead, he nodded with certainty,""I am certain that in three days, I, Ying Chen, will definitely hand over 1.5 million dans of grain!”
Hearing this, Feng Quji was so angry that he laughed,""Good, good, good. This old minister will wait for Your Highness for three days. As long as Your Highness can gather 1.5 million dans of food in three days, this old minister will definitely beg for forgiveness in front of Your Highness.”
However, Ying Chen did not see the faint smile on Ying Zheng's and Li Si's lips.
