Since he knew of Qin Xiao's intentions, the purpose of Qin Shi Huang's trip could be considered to have been achieved. He did not intend to stay any longer.
Not to mention that it was already late, even the many matters piled up in Zhangtai Palace didn't allow him to have much time to rest…
After drinking the bamboo wine, Qin Shi Huang took the lead and stood up, cupping his hands at Qin Xiao.
"It's already late, we'll make a move first and won't disturb Brother Qin any longer.”
Hearing this, Qin Xiao could not help but be a little happy, secretly ridiculing in his heart.
I just built this small shabby house with a few bamboos. Even if you want to live in it, I don't have a place for you to sleep.
"Brother Zheng, you can go first."
"If you want to gather in the future, just come to my place at any time. I don't have anything else, but I still have enough bamboo wine!”
When the Emperor heard this, he did not say anything more. He only nodded lightly and left Qin Xiao's bamboo garden with Li Si.
From time to time!
Before the First Emperor could step into the palace, he saw a person waiting in the distance with an anxious expression. It was Houji of the Great Qin Dynasty!
Hou Ji was the high-ranking official who was in charge of Great Qin's agriculture…
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the First Emperor had finally returned, Hou Ji immediately shouted. His voice was filled with unease and fear!
"I've finally waited for Your Majesty to return. It's really a good rain after a long drought!”
When Shi Huang saw this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. An ominous premonition rose in his heart…
Could it be that there was a problem with farming?
It shouldn't be!
It was the harvest season now. Even if the harvest was not good, they would only eat less. How could they not harvest anything?
"Officials of the Imperial Court, what are you panicking about?”
Hearing the Emperor's scolding, although Houji calmed down a little, his voice was still trembling…
"Your Majesty, there was an urgent report from Kuaiji just now. It said that locusts had crossed the border and covered the sky…"
" It should be the season of harvest, but now there is no harvest. Many people have starved to death, I'm afraid…"
At this point, Hou Ji's words came to an abrupt stop and he did not dare to continue!
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, the dignified expression on his face was instantly swept away, replaced by shock and unease!
Kuaiji was an important piece of farmland for Great Qin!
Every year, apart from the Guanzhong region, Kuaiji provided the imperial court with the most grain and tax revenue…
However, the plague had just been quelled, and now there was a plague of locusts. Those commoners could not eat, so they were afraid that they would be furious and even raise the flag of rebellion!
Thinking of this, Shi Huang couldn't help but shiver. He ignored Hou Ji's existence and walked straight into the Imperial Palace!
"Get Wang Li to bring 100,000 armor-piercing soldiers to Kuaiji to maintain order. We must not let the remnants of the Six Nations smell the blood!”
"Call Li Si to see me, quickly, quickly!”
"Here!"
A moment later, Li Si arrived at Zhangtai Palace with a puzzled expression!
He had just parted ways with the emperor, so why was he called back in such a short time?
"I, Li Si, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Li Si had already arrived, the battered Emperor Qin only waved his hand gently. He did not bother to let Li Si get up and directly gestured to his left and right to show Li Si the situation of the locust plague in Kuaiji.
When Li Si finished reading, he saw that his brows were tightly furrowed and his wrinkled face was filled with anxiety. His hunched figure, which was already due to his age, shrunk even more.
"Sir, is there a solution?"
When Li Si heard that, he immediately complained in his heart!
They had experienced locust plagues before, but the situation had never been so serious that it affected an entire county!
Not to mention, that was Kuaiji, which had just experienced a major epidemic…
"I think that Your Majesty should send troops first to prevent…"
Before Li Si could finish, the First Emperor waved his hand in frustration, his face filled with displeasure.
"I naturally know that I won't give the remnants of the six countries any chance!”
"The most important thing now is how to resolve the locust plague's serious financial damage to the imperial court.”
Hearing this, Li Si did not dare to say anything else because he had no idea!
Since ancient times, locust plagues had always been seen as a punishment from the heavens for the monarch's lack of virtue. Whether it was the previous Qin country or the imperial court of the six countries, they had all resisted it head-on…
But right now, this method was definitely not going to work!
Just as the monarch and minister were thinking hard, Li Si's eyes lit up and he said embarrassedly,"
"Now that Qin Xiao has arrived at Xianyang, Your Majesty, why don't you…"
The First Emperor was stunned when he heard this. He slammed the table, feeling relieved.
" That's right, that kid is here. How could I forget…"
"If it's him, he might really have a way to solve it!”
After bringing too many surprises to the First Emperor, Qin Xiao had already become an omnipotent genius in his heart, a solution to all problems…
Battle, find Qin Xiao!
Great plague, find Qin Xiao!
Now that the locust plague was wreaking havoc, he could naturally look for Qin Xiao…
"That's all you said tonight!”
"Tomorrow, come with me to the bamboo garden and ask for advice!”
After saying those words, the First Emperor immediately stood up and looked at Li Si with disdain before leaving.
Li Si was left alone in the Imperial Palace, sweating profusely!
After serving Qin for decades, this was the first time he felt such a threat…
At the thought of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the bamboo garden outside the city, his eyes filled with a deeper meaning…
At the same time, Qin Xiao, who was happily brewing wine and farming in the bamboo garden, suddenly sneezed.
"Yawning!"
"Old Tiger Qiu hasn't left yet. Why is he sneezing? Could it be that someone is missing me…"
At this moment, if Qin Xiao knew that Qin Shi Huang already regarded him as an omnipotent immortal disciple, he would probably be extremely speechless.
……
The next day, Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace!
In the hall, hundreds of officials stood in great order!
However!
It was already time for the Grand Court Meeting, but the First Emperor had yet to appear!
The lords were in a mess, their faces filled with anxiety…
"Where's His Majesty? Why isn't His Majesty here yet?”
"If the locust plague in Kuaiji continues like this, I'm afraid something big will happen!”
Even though they did not really care about the commoners, they knew better than anyone that their fates were tied to Great Qin!
If the empire really fell into chaos, he would definitely not have it easy!
Of course, under the intimidation of the armed soldiers outside the hall, the riot did not happen…
At the same time.
Outside Xianyang City, a carriage was speeding towards the Bamboo Garden!
The people sitting in the car were Qin Shi Huang and Li Si!
No one would have thought that while the officials were fuming with rage, the Emperor and Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire were actually rushing to an extremely ordinary bamboo garden…
It was because the most extraordinary person of this era lived in that bamboo garden!
"Brother Qin, we have come to disturb you again. Please forgive us!”
