Chapter 143 Don’T Even You Want To Hide Me? (Subscribe)
The warm sun sheds thousands of rays of light, shining on the grasslands of thousands of miles.
Daqin barracks stand on the empty Hetao plain, with Daqin flags on each side, hunting in the wind.
The majestic murderous aura seemed to condense into substance.
The merchants and merchants of Nanyang County walked slowly through the Daqin military camp, and the gazes of the surrounding Daqin soldiers were like icebergs.
They held their breaths and stepped into Zhao Yu’s tent.
This is the largest tent in the entire military camp, and there are hundreds of elite soldiers guarding it outside the tent.
Since Zhao Yu was attacked, Meng Tian specially sent more defenses.
The place itself was already the most central of the military camp, and the defense was so strong that even birds would never be able to fly in, but Meng Tian gave a death order, and hundreds of Great Qin Ruishis followed Zhao Yu every step of the way.
blah blah–
At this moment, the merchants of Nanyang County opened their tents and walked in slowly under the notice of the Daqin guards.
They came to Zhao Yu, saw Zhao Yu sitting on the reclining chair, and immediately shouted respectfully in unison: “Meet the Emperor.
“Don’t be too polite.” Zhao Yu put down the map in his hand, slowly raised his head and said solemnly.
There were nearly a hundred big businessmen from Nanyang County in front of them.
These 100 are the top big merchants in Nanyang County, and they have countless carriage caravans.
Looking at them, Zhao Yu said solemnly, “You all know the purpose of letting you come here, right?”
The merchants at the head looked at each other, and a big-bellied merchant immediately stood up and explained: “Everything is clear, sir, don’t worry, the people of Nanyang County have prepared military rations for you, and we have arranged for someone to deliver them. It won’t be long before it will be sent to the barracks.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was a little puzzled.
When he led the army from Xianyang, he never talked about the issue of military rations. Why did these Nanyang merchants say that the military rations were ready long ago?
Seeing Zhao Yu’s puzzled eyes, Meng Tian quickly stood up and explained, “Master Emperor, before our army captured the Hetao Plain a few days ago, our army’s food supply could only last for three days. I will be a little worried, so I sent someone to appeal to Your Majesty, the army has been short of food for three days, presumably Your Majesty is worried about the lack of food in our army, so this is why I ordered the merchants of Nanyang County to specially send food.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu stared at the Nanyang merchants in front of him, trying to get answers from them.
A Nanyang merchant looked at Meng Tian, then bowed respectfully to Zhao Yu with both hands, and said respectfully, “Sir, these grains are not what Your Majesty forced us to send to you, but all the people of Nanyang County, thank you sir. Nanyang County is exempted from the tax, so I sent it myself, please accept it.””
“I brought it by myself?” Zhao Yu muttered, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He has already captured the Hetao Plain. There are hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses on the Hetao Plain. These are enough to feed the army of 300,000 people for a year and a half, and the excess cattle, sheep and horses can be sent to Xianyang to relieve the Daqin treasury. crisis.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang and the merchants of Nanyang County were so worried about their own safety.
On the other hand, Meng Tian’s eyes were stunned, and in an instant, like a wooden stake, he stomped on the spot.
His chin seemed to be about to fall to the ground, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
This f*ck in Daqin, food means the lifeblood of Daqin people.
In the eyes of the people of Daqin, they attach great importance to food, and food is the guarantee of the lives of the people of Daqin.
However, all the people of Nanyang County, when they heard that there was a shortage of food on the frontier, and because Zhao Yu was fighting on the frontier, sent food from their homes for free.
To be honest, this shocked Meng Tian, and at the same time he realized Zhao Yu’s status among the people of Nanyang County.
I am afraid that Zhao Yu’s authority in Nanyang County is no less than Qin Shihuang’s.
And Liu Bang and Han Xin were even more stunned, looking at the horizon in the distance, the countless carriages filled with grain that had traveled from Daqin’s belly had been shocked and speechless at this moment!
They were born in poverty, and they knew what food meant to the people.
If there is no harvest for the people next year, I am afraid that all the people will starve to death.
The people have already entrusted their lives to Zhao Yu.
What kind of trust is this?
Liu Bang sighed in his heart, and couldn’t help but said solemnly: “Emperor teachers have won the hearts of the people, and it is rare in the past and present.
Han Xin couldn’t help but whisper: “I am afraid that the emperor already has the strength to compete with Qin Shihuang in court, I am afraid that it will arouse His Majesty’s fear. 99
at the same time.
Xianyang Palace.
The sun rises from the east, and the blush is shining brightly. The nine floors of the splendid Xianyang Palace are filled with Daqin officials wearing thick black official robes.
Their feet were heavy, as if their heels were filled with lead.
Although they also learned that the people of Nanyang County spontaneously donated food from their homes, and the merchants of Nanyang County quickly sent it to the frontier.
However, there is still no way to solve the problem of the empty treasury.
…
If His Majesty is to blame, they will definitely die.
The Qilin Hall, which usually takes half an hour to reach, seems to be as long as a century today.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the Qilin Hall.
Stepping into the Qilin Hall, the breath suddenly became heavy.
Countless beads of sweat fell on the foreheads of the officials and fell on the floor tiles of the Qilin Hall.
The hundreds of officials were lined up on both sides under the ninth floor steps. The hands holding the wat board seemed to be shaking. They lowered their heads.
Not long after, Qin Shihuang stepped onto the ninth steps, and the black dragon robe of the emperor made a hunting sound in the air, imposingly arrogant.
At the moment when Qin Shihuang was seated, the civil and military officials seemed to have received a unified signal. They stood up in unison and shouted in a deep voice: “Your Majesty is ten thousand years old, Your Majesty is auspicious!”9
00……
The huge sound reverberated in the Qilin Hall for a long time.
Qin Shihuang waved his robes, his sharp eyes passed under the bead curtain, flashed over the officials one by one, and said solemnly: “This time, thanks to the spontaneous donations of the people of Nanyang County, the food shortage in the frontier has been solved. In danger, I have to say that Emperor Zhao Yu won the hearts and minds of the people of Great Qin and is a good official! I am quite pleased!”
Hearing this, Li Si and the others, who were headed by them, suddenly sank.
Originally planned to seize the opportunity to read Zhao Yu’s book and slander Zhao Yu’s meritorious works, but at this moment, all of them were suddenly stunned.
If it was another official, who could make the people love him so much, he was convinced that the suspicious Qin Shi Huang would be furious and suspicious.
But now, looking at Qin Shihuang’s expression, not only there is no trace of fear, but from the corner of his eyes, he seems to be filled with endless pampering.
This kind of look Li Si is most familiar with, and he has this kind of expression for his eldest son who is like a coward.
Although the eldest son can no longer inherit the incense, he still does not lose Li Si’s favor.
At this moment, Li Si, who had already stood up with the wat board in his hand, stopped his open mouth immediately, and he forcibly retracted the words from his mouth.
And all this scene was seen by Qin Shihuang. Seeing this, Qin Shihuang was also a little puzzled.
He stared closely at Li Si, and said in a heavy voice, “Prime Minister Right, why are you doing this? Why don’t you speak up? Do you even want to hide it from me?”
When the voice fell, it immediately hit Li Si’s heart like a meteorite. A fine cold sweat broke out on Li Si’s forehead. He knelt on the ground in fear, and said tremblingly: “Your Majesty, Wei Chen dare not.”
