After saying this, Emperor Ying Zheng turned to look at Li Si.
"Li Si, I order you to solve the problem of rations within seven days.”
"If you can't resolve it within seven days, zhen will take your head.”
Hearing the First Emperor Ying Zheng's words, everyone fell silent.
This was not a joke. It seemed that First Emperor Ying Zheng was truly enraged.
Li Si was the Prime Minister and the right-hand man of First Emperor Ying Zheng. He said he would kill him.
This was a great blessing for the generals, but they also looked at Li Si sympathetically.
At this moment, everyone knew how difficult it was to gather this military rations.
Not to mention seven days, it would even be difficult to gather enough for a month. After all, three months of rations for this army was a huge expenditure.
It seemed like Prime Minister Li Si was doomed this time.
Although the generals were used to seeing swords and sabers, they couldn't bear to see this happen to their colleagues.
Li Si did not dare to breathe loudly in front of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng. He was sweating profusely as he cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject accepts your orders and guarantees that we will definitely gather the army's rations within seven days!”
Seeing that Li Si had expressed his stance, First Emperor Ying Zheng waved his sleeve.
"Everyone, let's disperse. That's all for today's discussion.”
The generals left Zhangtai Palace in twos and threes.
Li Si walked out of Zhangtai Palace dejectedly.
At this moment, Wang Wan called out to him from behind.
"I say, Prime Minister, how could you agree to His Majesty so easily? I was planning to argue on your behalf. How can we gather the rations for this army in seven days?”
Li Si looked helpless when he heard that.
"Wang Wan, it's not like you don't know His Majesty! With his temper, he definitely wanted to exterminate the Xiongnu. He had to collect the military rations!”
"I'm also risking my life with my own head. There's no other way. We're all subjects of the same dynasty, so we should understand each other!”
Wang Wan looked at Li Si sympathetically.
"Sir, you have been wronged. Have a good journey. In the future, I will go to your grave to pay my respects every year. You must remember me, your brother!”
When Li Si heard this, he looked at Wang Wan with an indescribable feeling.
If this Wang Wan was sympathizing with him, he should thank him properly. However, he wanted to go to his grave to offer incense, and he was not dead yet!
This was really embarrassing.
The Prime Minister had fallen to such a state. There was really no one else.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Li Si's eyes flashed.
He thought of someone.
Perhaps this person could save him.
Before Wang Wan, who sympathized with him, could say anything else, Li Si cupped his hands and said," Goodbye," before running off.
Wang Wan was left speechless. She wanted to say a few more words of sympathy and comfort, but seeing Li Si run away alone, Wang Wan felt that Li Si must have gone crazy.
At this moment, Li Si was running towards Qin Xiao's house.
That's right, Li Si had no one to rely on at the moment. The only person who could help him was Qin Xiao.
Moreover, only Qin Xiao has this ability.
Li Si did not have time to ride his horse. He passed through Xianyang City and arrived at Qin Xiao's house.
Li Si shouted the moment they entered the house.
"Sir, is Sir at home?"
"I'm Li Si, and I have an urgent matter to see you. Please save my life!”
Li Si shouted a few times in the courtyard, but no one answered him.
Li Si immediately felt depressed.
Why was it that when Ying Zheng came, Sir was there, but when he came, Sir left?
This luck was too bad.
But no matter what, he had to wait for Qin Xiao!
He waited for Qin Xiao to come back, and Li Si was so anxious that he paced around the courtyard.
"Could this mister have gone out to travel? If he goes out to travel and doesn't return within seven days, he will become a headless corpse!”
"If I had known earlier, I would have told Wang Wan to burn more joss paper for myself. In the future, I would not have to worry about food and clothing underground!”
Just as Li Si was walking around in the courtyard, Qin Xiao walked in with a few beautiful ladies.
Seeing Qin Xiao, the Lu sisters, and Princess Yu Shu chatting and laughing, Li Si was furious.
"Sir, my dear sir, you made me wait here for so long. My life is in danger, and you still have the mood to talk about romance here!”
Qin Xiao did not panic when he heard this. He looked at Li Si and said loudly,"
"You, Li Si, as the Prime Minister, actually deceived a commoner like me. How can you bear to do this?”
"My leverage technology and the method to grow potatoes were all scammed by you, and you didn't even give me a single cent. You people still call yourselves nobles of Great Qin?”
Li Si felt that it was not a big deal. He wanted to retort, but he was rendered speechless by Qin Xiao's barrage of questions.
"And that good big brother of yours, although he's His Majesty, he actually cheated and swindled us commoners. I don't think any of you are good people!”
"If it weren't for the fact that I have the technology to create terracotta soldiers, I don't think you would have contracted the Lishan mausoleum project to me!”
"I said that I wanted to contract your Great Wall construction project, but you used my leverage technology and didn't give me a single cent. Now, you're not giving me this project.”
"My chain inn project has probably been stolen by you guys now. You still want to talk about the intelligence network? I think you guys have already done so much intelligence. What's the use of the intelligence network? Why don't you disguise yourself and go out?”
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Li Si could not take it anymore.
"Sir, I'm here to beg you!"
"If the army wants to defeat the Xiongnu, they will definitely need to use military rations. However, because of the plague, the national treasury has a lack of food.”
"Now, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, has ordered me to gather all the military rations within seven days. If I can't gather all the rations, I will lose my head!”
"Sir, you are a genius. You can calculate and know astronomy and geography. Sir, you are the only person who can save me!”
"I sincerely apologize to you for concealing our identities. Please forgive me!”
"But no matter what, you must help me get through this first!”
"If I can't pass this test, Sir can only burn joss paper for me in the future!”
"I won't be able to see you again!”
After Li Si said that, he looked at Qin Xiao eagerly.
His heart was also pounding at this time. Although this Qin Xiao was a peerless genius, it was impossible for him to conjure something out of nothing.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao said indifferently at this moment.
"What's so difficult about that? Come back in three days!”
Li Si was overjoyed.
"This one will bid farewell to Mister here. Thank you very much!”
