The reason why the First Emperor hadn't appeared for a few days was because he had been very busy.
The governors of several counties in the Land of Yan came to report that the heavy snow had crushed many houses and frozen many people.
The rest of the citizens of Yan were also in a difficult situation.
The Kuaiji County Chief of the Chu Land reported that the Baiyue tribes in the mountains were unable to hunt in winter and had no food. They frequently came out to harass the counties and plunder the people.
Kuaiji Prefecture did not have enough soldiers and could not wipe them out. They requested for reinforcements.
The prefectures and counties of Wei also submitted memorials saying that Wei's grain production was insufficient this year, and many people starved to death. They requested for food…
These memorials made the First Emperor, who was in charge of such a large empire for the first year, extremely busy. He was even a little overwhelmed.
Although these things happened in Yan, Chu, and Wei.
However, these places were all Great Qin's counties, and the people affected were all Great Qin's citizens.
If it wasn't handled properly, the people would be easily incited by the remnants of the six dynasties and cause chaos.
Just like the Xinzheng Rebellion in the Land of Korea a few years ago.
Therefore, the First Emperor had issued many decrees in the past few days.
He issued an edict to the neighboring Qi Prefecture, Ji Bei Prefecture, and Qi Prefecture, and the Zhao Prefecture, Julu Prefecture.
He asked the governors of the three prefectures to collect firewood, charcoal and other warm things and send them to the prefectures and counties of Yan.
Let Lujiang County and Guzhang County, which were neighboring Kuaiji County, each send out a county soldier to help Kuaiji County suppress the rebellious Baiyue.
As for the famine in the counties of Wei, they did their best to transfer some food from Guanzhong to relieve the people of Wei.
Even though the firewood and food allocated to Yan and Wei might not be enough, with Great Qin's current productivity, this was all they could do.
Even so, what the First Emperor had done was much better than what the Six Nations had done.
This was because the rulers of the six dynasties only cared about their own wealth and did not care about the lives of their people.
If not for this, there would not have been so many refugees from the six states who brought their families to the Qin country and helped the Qin country to unify the world.
After arranging the affairs of those prefectures and counties, the First Emperor finally had the time to look at his eldest son, whom he had not seen for many days, to relieve his tired mood.
Of course, when dealing with those memorials a few days ago, it wasn't that the First Emperor hadn't thought of asking about Ying Zhan's thoughts.
This eldest son had a world-shaking military strategy. Perhaps he had a better way.
However, the First Emperor thought for a moment and felt that it was unlikely. After all, although his eldest son was intelligent, he could not conjure firewood and food that could feed thousands of people out of thin air.
Therefore, the First Emperor didn't come in order not to delay the handling of those counties.
"Marquis Tongwu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so haggard?”
Looking at the First Emperor who had lost a lot of weight and had dark circles under his eyes, Ying Zhan was a little surprised.
Then, he teased meaningfully,"Marquis Tongwu likes wine. Could he have been hurt by wine and sex?"
You're quite an adult. You're my elder when it comes to age. How can you be so unrestrained?”
When the First Emperor heard Ying Zhan's words, he wanted to laugh and be angry at the same time.
He was angry because he had been reading memorials and handling government affairs for the past few days, but his eldest son had actually said that he suspected that he was hurt by alcohol and sex. He had even educated him with a gun and a stick!
He wanted to laugh because even though his words were a little improper, it was precisely because of this kind of shameless joke that made the First Emperor feel warm and relaxed.
Although the First Emperor had more than twenty sons, none of them dared to joke with him.
This included the eldest son, Fu Su, and the intelligent eighteenth son, Hu Hai.
One reason was that when the First Emperor was in the palace, he had the dignity and airs of a father, which made his sons respect him more.
Secondly, those young masters had received strict court education since they were young. They did not dare to be friends with their fathers, let alone joke around.
On the other hand, even though Wang Ben, the alias of the First Emperor, was one rank higher than Yingzhan, Yingzhan and Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, were like friends.
When he was serious, he was serious. When he was not serious, it was also quite interesting…
Gradually, the First Emperor began to like this feeling.
This was also the reason why the First Emperor had decided to hide his identity and interact with Yingzhan.
The First Emperor and Yingzhan had already developed some friendship.
At the same time, the First Emperor was also a little nervous. If he revealed Ying Zhan's identity and his own identity, after father and son reunited, would he and this son still be able to get along without any estrangement and restraint like now…
But soon, the First Emperor threw this worry to the side. Now was the time to deepen this friendship with Yingzhan.
If they cultivated more feelings now, there would be less estrangement and restraint when they recognized each other in the future.
Therefore, the First Emperor waved his hand and replied to Ying Zhan,""What injury from wine and sex? I was called by the emperor to work for a few days.”
As he spoke, the First Emperor began to talk about what he had done in the past few days in a different way."The heavy snow in Yan City has collapsed the houses. The governor of Yan City has requested for the empire to provide disaster relief.
The emperor ordered the counties of Qi and Julu Prefecture of Zhao to gather firewood and send it to Yan. They also sent soldiers into Yan to cut down the forest for firewood.
The land of Chu was Kuaiji County. Baiyue attacked and harassed the people of Kuaiji. The emperor asked Lujiang County and Guzhang County to send troops to assist in the suppression.
Wei was facing a food shortage. The emperor ordered the transfer of grain from Guanzhong and sent troops to escort it from the Lantian camp…
Every single one of these matters requires the mobilization of troops. The state officer has not been feeling well recently, so His Majesty handed the matter of mobilizing troops to me.
After a dozen transfer orders, I lost a lot of weight.”
After hearing the First Emperor's words, Yingzhan knew that so many things had happened in the world recently.
"Marquis Tongwu has indeed worked hard.”
Ying Zhan looked at Wang Ben who had lost a lot of weight and nodded,"I'll get the kitchen to prepare some good dishes to nourish Marquis Tong Wu.”
The First Emperor laughed and continued to praise himself by mentioning Wang Ben's name,"It's not hard on me, it's really hard on Your Majesty.
I am only responsible for the mobilization of troops, but His Majesty the Emperor has to allocate food, gather firewood, and issue decrees to the county governors.
How many rulers in the world in the past 800 years could be such a diligent and loving ruler?”
After praising himself, the First Emperor suddenly looked at Ying Zhan and said,""I wonder what kind of person the Marquis of Xianyang thinks His Majesty the Emperor is?
Don't worry, I'm just curious. I'm not testing you, and I won't reveal anything.”
When he asked this question, the First Emperor was nervous and expectant. He also wanted to know what his true identity as the First Emperor was like in the eyes of his eldest son.
When Ying Zhan heard this, he first looked at the First Emperor and smiled, then blurted out,""Of course, he's a great talent and a great emperor!
As the saying goes, the king of Qin swept the world, and the tiger looked at him!
With a swing of his sword, he cut off the floating clouds, and all the princes came from the west!”
When the First Emperor heard Ying Zhan's words, his eyes lit up.
