Great talent and bold vision, the first emperor in history!
Hearing Ying Zhan's evaluation, the First Emperor's eyes lit up!
Although the First Emperor had heard many similar words from the mouths of those ministers who sang praises of him.
However, the First Emperor knew that most of the officials were just sucking up to him. He didn't care about their praises.
The First Emperor was very concerned about the evaluation of winning the battle!
Not only because Yingzhan was the eldest son of the First Emperor, but also because Yingzhan had the talent to rule the world!
Nothing made the First Emperor happier than the recognition of his son and a talented person!
"The King of Qin swept across the world.
With a swing of his sword, he cut off the floating clouds, and all the princes came from the west!
Hahaha, well said! Well said!"
The extremely happy First Emperor savored these words of victory. The more he tasted, the happier he became and the prouder he became.
I am the first emperor!
He was the one emperor who had swept across the six directions and had great talent and strategy!
"Marquis Tong Wu, I'm talking about His Majesty. Why are you so agitated?”
Ying Zhan glanced at the First Emperor and said indifferently.
The First Emperor was a little embarrassed. He was so happy that he almost forgot that he was Wang Ben.
"Cough cough, I am an important official of Great Qin, and Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages. I am honored!”
In order to cover up the awkwardness, the First Emperor changed the topic and said,""But even if Your Majesty is the greatest emperor in history, there are times when you feel helpless.
For example, the snow disaster in Yan Land and the grain shortage in Wei Land.
Although His Majesty had issued an edict to allocate grain and firewood, unifying the world had consumed too much national strength. There was not much surplus grain in the treasury, and it was bound to be impossible to relieve all the people in the affected counties.
In fact, they could only provide relief to a small portion.
His Majesty had been worried about this for several days.”
Ying Zhan listened to the First Emperor's words and nodded thoughtfully.""Indeed, we should be worried. It has only been a year since Great Qin unified the world, and there are many remnants of the Six Nations who want to restore their countries.
Snowstorms in Yan Country often happened when the Yan Country was still around, and the King of Yan might not even be as concerned as the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, the land of Yan now belonged to Great Qin, and the people of the six countries had not completely submitted to Great Qin in a short period of time. If a large number of people were frozen to death and starved to death, it would be inevitable that there would be a civil revolt in order to survive.
If they were to receive the support of the remnants of the Six Nations, the chaos in Xinzheng would likely repeat itself!
If they were not careful, they could be like wildfire, causing the remaining members of the six dynasties to follow suit!”
Ying Zhan's words made the First Emperor feel gratified and heavy.
He was glad that his Zhan 'er was indeed intelligent and had the disposition of an emperor. She could stand at the top and see the hidden dangers of the empire.
What was even more serious was that even Yingzhan felt this way, while Great Qin did not have the energy to send disaster relief and eliminate the source of the chaos.
Once chaos broke out, even if Great Qin was able to calm down, it would consume a lot of its national strength and shake Great Qin's prestige.
"Yeah, the land of Yan is still okay. It's vast and sparsely populated. Even if there's a change, there won't be any chaos.
On the other hand, Wei was close to the center of the Great Qin Pass, located in the Central Plains, and had a large population. Once chaos broke out, it would easily spread to Zhao, Han, and Chu!”
The First Emperor looked at Yingzhan with worry and hope."I wonder if the Marquis of Xianyang has any good ideas?”
Of course, the First Emperor didn't have much hope. After all, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't produce food out of thin air.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zhan only smiled faintly,""As long as you don't lose your mind, there are always more solutions than difficulties.”
Looking at Ying Zhan's confident and calm appearance, the First Emperor was instantly excited. Could it be that his eldest son really had a way?
Under the First Emperor's expectant gaze, Ying Zhan slowly said,""The snow disaster in Yan Land isn't difficult to solve. It just depends on whether His Majesty is willing.
His Majesty had already issued an edict to transfer the firewood and charcoal supply from the counties near Yan Land, and even ordered the county soldiers to cut down trees for firewood. However, there was definitely not enough firewood in a hurry.
It could allow the prefectures and counties to gather the people who had lost their houses and settle them in the palaces and mansions of the Yan Kingdom's royal family. They could burn firewood to keep warm, which could not only provide shelter for the people, but also save a lot of firewood.
In any case, the land of Yan was bitterly cold, and none of the meritorious officials of Great Qin wanted the residences of the royal families of Yan, so most of them were empty.
If the firewood was still not enough, they could tear down the palace of the Yan Kingdom and use the pillars as firewood. The huge palace was enough for the people of Yan to burn for a winter.
The matter was urgent, and he had to solve the urgent problem first. Anyway, His Majesty would most likely not stay in the palace of the Yan Country.
On the contrary, when the people of Yan saw that the Great Qin Emperor had destroyed the Yan Palace for the sake of the people, they would definitely be grateful and return to the Great Qin Empire.”
Hearing what Yingzhan said, the First Emperor felt his heart brighten up.
Why didn't the First Emperor think of such a simple method?
After the First Emperor destroyed the six states, he left behind the palaces of the six states as temporary residences when he toured the world in the future.
However, the land of Yan was remote and cold. Even if the First Emperor went there, he wouldn't stay for long. Destroying a temporary palace in the land of Yan that was almost impossible to live in wouldn't cause any loss to the First Emperor. On the contrary, he could use this opportunity to win the hearts of the people of Yan!
In fact, if Yingzhan hadn't mentioned it, the First Emperor wouldn't have thought of this method.
Although the First Emperor had suffered in Zhao when he was young, he still had a strong sense of nobility and royalty in his bones.
Within the limits of Great Qin's strength, the First Emperor was willing to provide disaster relief.
Even if the First Emperor racked his brains, he would never have thought of demolishing the Yan royal palace in order to provide warmth for the people of Yan, because he would never have such a thought.
Not only the First Emperor, but even the emperors of the later dynasties would not have such thoughts and actions.
From their point of view, disaster relief was more to let most of the affected people barely survive. It would not cause a civil revolt and shake the stability of the world.
As for people like Ying Zhan, who would do everything he could to save more people, this was not in the minds of these emperors.
This was also the limitation of feudal emperors.
If someone else had proposed to tear down the Palace of the King of Yan as firewood to keep the people of Yan warm, the First Emperor might not have thought that this was a good idea. Instead, he would probably think that this proposal was overstepping his boundaries.
Even if Fu Su brought it up, the First Emperor would probably think that Fu Su was influenced by those pedantic scholars. He was too weak and lacked the dignity of an emperor.
However, when Ying Zhan brought it up, not only did the First Emperor not reject it at all, but his eyes lit up. It was a spiritual method…
Not only would it protect the people of Yan, but it would also win the hearts of the people of Yan. It would show the world that Great Qin was not the tyrannical Qin that the remnants of the six countries spoke of, but it was also benevolent!
The same proposal might have two different results just because the person who made it was different.
This was probably favoritism.
After all, some fatherly love was more equal than others…
Without waiting for the First Emperor to think further, Ying Zhan continued to speak, bringing up the method to deal with the food shortage in Wei…
