The world was in a drought, and the six countries were in chaos!
Facing all of this, Ying Zheng's face turned extremely gloomy!
Faced with these remnants of the Six Nations and their rebellion, he really wanted to announce that he would kill them with force!
However, there were simply too many disaster victims. In addition, every survivor of the Six Nations was as slippery as a mouse. If they really started fighting, it would be a huge disaster!
Now that the entire Longxi was in dire straits, how could it withstand a great war?
Moreover, the national treasury was empty, and Longxi was in a drought. Great Qin was in a state of food shortage!
If they continued to fight, even if they killed the rebels, when winter came, many of Great Qin's people would starve to death!
In reality, 20% of the people in Longxi had already become refugees!!
Plus, there are still Xiongnu in the north.
To the west, there was the Yue clan and Donghu, and in the southern corner, there was the Baiyue…
Although they had already beaten them to the point where they did not dare to jump around, in fact, these barbarians were all eyeing them covetously!
If they really fought now during the drought, it would definitely be an unprecedented predicament for the Qin country!!
"Then go and appease them."
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and made a rare decision.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the ministers heaved a long sigh of relief!
They were afraid that Ying Zheng would declare that he would send out his army to kill the rebels in a fit of anger.
If that really happened, Great Qin, which had finally settled down, would once again fall into chaos.
however
The ministers looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Pacify? How to appease him?
How was he supposed to appease her?
In the face of the awkward situation, Fu Su, the young man, finally spoke up. He braced himself and stepped forward.
"Imperial Father, your son feels that the only way now is to pray for rain.”
"If there is rain, everything will collapse on its own.”
Hearing Fu Su's words.
The ministers lowered their heads even more.
Do I even need you to say that?
If it weren't for the drought and rain, would so many things have happened?
"If it really doesn't work, we can only expend manpower to open the canal.”
"This is the only way to solve the drought.”
"Although it's difficult, it's better than waiting.”
"Why don't we mobilize some troops to dig ditches, but we definitely can't draw water from the Yangtze River.”
"I think it's better to draw the water from the source of the Yellow River. Open up the river."
"Or dig an underground sewer. This humble subject has observed that there should be a considerable amount of storage in the underground sewer.”
Great Qin's officials said.
However, Ying Zheng did not answer him. Instead, he closed his eyes tightly and sat behind the desk.
The officials looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
The study was so quiet that no one could come up with a good idea, and even Ying Zheng was frowning.
"Da da da"
The eunuch's footsteps and the soft knocking on the door came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xu Fu has returned.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Not long after, the travel-worn Xu Fu came in from outside.
That night, he wandered around the forest near Tongling County for more than four hours.
But in the end, he still couldn't find that mysterious figure!
In the end, Xu Fu returned to the cave that he had found. He looked at the scribbles for a long time, trying to find something.
For some reason, Xu Fu felt a strange sensation when he saw those scribbles.
In a hurry, Xu Fu memorized all the scribbles. When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was almost midnight!
Only then did he rush down the mountain and rush back.
While they were on the road, Xu Fu's mind was filled with the ghost characters in the cave. He could not get rid of them.
He finally regained his senses when he arrived at Xianyang.
Upon entering Ying Zheng's study and seeing a group of ministers in it, Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Your humble subject, Xu Fu, greets Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu and asked,""I asked you to go to Longxi to search for the water eye and open the canal. What happened?”
Although he was awarded the title of Xu Fu only because he had found a way to become an extraordinary expert, Ying Zheng unexpectedly found out that this guy was also a talent, and knew a lot about many things.
"Your Majesty. The situation is not optimistic."
Xu Fu smiled bitterly." It's not an exaggeration to say that there's no place in Longxi that's suitable for digging canals.”
"The entire Longxi is suffering from a severe drought. The only way to open a canal is to connect the Yangtze River to the Yellow River.”
Connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River?
No place to open a canal?
Hearing this, all the ministers 'expressions changed!
What did Xu Fu mean? Wasn't this slapping their faces in front of Ying Zheng?
On the other side, Xu Fu, who had just entered, did not know what was going on. He continued to speak with a bitter smile.
"As for the underground waterway, it has already dried up beyond recognition. Without great manpower and resources, it is impossible to mine it.”
"If we want to save Longxi from the drought, unless there is a rain from the heavens, we can only dig the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal.”
"Although it's not a solution, it's the only choice. It should be much better than digging underground water and other miscellaneous methods."
Xu Fu was still speaking with confidence and assurance, not noticing that the group of ministers behind him had already turned pale.
After Xu Fu finished speaking, one of the ministers finally spoke up.
"Since so many measures are ineffective, why don't we let Lord Xu Fu take action?”
"I heard that Lord Xu Fu is the last disciple of the expert Guigu 'zi. He should be proficient in spells and divine arts like praying for rain, right?”
Xu Fu was stunned for a moment. He looked at the official in confusion.
What was going on?
Why did it suddenly involve me?
I've only been here for a few days. I don't have any grudges against you, right?
