Great Qin, I Support Su, the Strongest Tyrant

Chapter 18 Nanyang Catastrophe!

Morning the next day.

Fusu, who was facing up with a brocade box in his hand, naturally attracted the attention of all the ministers.

"This eldest son... what tricks is he playing again!"

"Who is there to hold a brocade box?"

While the ministers were discussing, the expression on Hu Hai's face was one of surprise and uncertainty.

"My... big brother is still alive?"

"Could it be that Shengqi didn't attack him as agreed?"

Hu Hai never thought that the black swordsman Sheng Qi, who was captured only by Gai Nie, the master of swordsmanship in the seven kingdoms, was now dead!
Qin Huang, who had just sat firmly on the dragon chair, noticed the brocade box in His Highness Fusu's hand, and asked aloud.

"Fusu, why did you bring a brocade box with you when you go to court today?"

Fusu, who had been waiting for His Royal Highness for a long time, hurriedly stood up and said, "I would like to inform my father, what is contained in this brocade box is a gift, which was just obtained last night, and I plan to present it to my father when I go to court today!"

"Oh? What gift? Show it to me?"

When Emperor Qin heard Fusu's words, his curiosity was aroused, he laughed lightly, and ordered his eunuch Gao to take the brocade box from Fusu.

All His Highness focused their eyes on the brocade box, they were all very curious about what kind of gift Fusu had prepared!
"boom!"

Eunuch Gao gently opened the brocade box, but everyone present took a deep breath!
"This is...the criminals from the Six Nations win seven?!"

"How did he die?"

"Is the eldest son crazy, giving the head of a criminal as a gift to His Majesty?!"

The subjects smelled the smell of blood in the air, and they couldn't help talking among themselves!

But at this moment, Hu Hai beside Fusu staggered and almost lost his footing.

"The head of Shengqi...?"

"He was... killed?!"

"How is it possible? He is a master of the strength of a great master! Who is there beside Fusu? A mere Tu Sui is not at the level of a master, right? How could it be possible to turn against Qi?!"

Hu Hai could hardly believe his eyes. In his opinion, using Shengqi to kill Fusu was a sure thing and there would never be any accidents!

Above the palace, Emperor Qin Yingzheng was fighting on the battlefield. He had never experienced any big winds and waves. His expression was normal at this moment. He just looked at Sheng Qi's head for a moment, recognized it and asked.

"Isn't he locked up in the Tooth-Eating Prison? Why do you have his head in your hand?"

Ying Zheng was a little confused and asked.

"Reporting to Father, for some reason, this beast escaped from the Tooth Devouring Prison!"

"Erchen was sleeping soundly in the mansion last night, and he came to the door secretly!"

"So, under the joint efforts of all the servants, this beast was successfully killed!!"

Fusu knelt down respectfully and opened his mouth to answer.

Hearing Fusu's explanation, all the ministers couldn't bear it any longer, His Highness exploded, expressing their opinions.

"What did the eldest son say? I have a lot of earwax in my ears recently, am I right?"

"Fake it?! How did the eldest son do it?!"

Everyone's first reaction was shock!
Such a master of the No. 11 sword manual that caused headaches for the six kingdoms and ruled the world, just escaped from the tooth-eating prison, and unexpectedly fell into the hands of the eldest son Fusu!

"Oh my god! This Shengqi is too terrifying. Our Great Qin's Teeth Prison is known as the strongest prison among the Seven Kingdoms. How many vicious criminals never came out after entering, and he actually escaped. come out?"

Someone noticed what the eldest son said before, and he, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Shengqi's strength.

"The eldest son is even more terrifying! This Shengqi is so cruel, but he still killed him tragically!"

Someone refuted him, complaining about the eldest son.

"How can you say that! According to Sheng Qi's nature, if he is allowed to escape from the Tooth-gnawing Prison, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm in our Daqin territory! The eldest son's move is to eliminate harm for the people!"

"But the eldest son's killing is fine, and it's too cruel to cut off the head and take it to the court..."

"Ding! Censor Wang Xiao lamented your cruelty, tyrant value +999!"

"Ding! Zongzheng Xiaoyan is moved by your cruelty, the tyrant value is +499!"

Hearing the discussions of the ministers and the constant refreshing of the tyrant value, Fusu felt a burst of joy in his heart. In fact, it was the main reason for him to present the brocade box this time to squeeze the wool of the ministers.

Just as the ministers were discussing, there was an emergency call outside the hall, and an intelligence officer quickly rushed into the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

"Luo Kun, the governor of Nanyang County, sent an urgent report that locust plagues have occurred in some counties in Nanyang, and the summer crops have failed to harvest!!"

As soon as these words came out, the chaotic hall that was originally noisy suddenly quieted down.

Great Qin's iron cavalry and powerful crossbows have always been the pride of the Old Qin people. It is precisely because of this that the Qin State was able to sweep across the Liuhe and unify China.

But this aspect of agriculture has always been a heart problem for them. The farming level of Qin and even the six countries is not developed. Even if there are no natural or man-made disasters, there is no guarantee that everyone can have a full meal.

As for now, this locust plague is like a natural disaster, directly pushing the local residents into the abyss!
"My love, what good countermeasures do you have?"

Qin Huang waved his hand to signal Eunuch Gao to take down the brocade box, frowning tightly, he asked His Highness and his officials.

Li Si, the prime minister, stood up with a jade gui in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the problem of opening a warehouse to release grain and helping the victims will be easily solved!"

"As long as it lasts for three seasons and waits until winter planting this year and harvesting next spring, this matter can be easily solved!"

"I don't think this is possible!"

As soon as Li Si's words fell, Yang Guang, one of the Nine Ministers, stood up and stopped him sharply.

"After many years of war and our farming has fallen behind, once the national stockpile is transferred out, I am afraid that the army's military rations will be worrying!"

Zhisu Neishi is responsible for managing the country's grain reserves, which is naturally much clearer than Li Si.

"Then what should I do? Is it possible that the people of my Daqin will starve to death in the locust plague?"

Qin Huang sighed and frowned.

"Your Majesty, can you try to mobilize some of the grain stored in various places to support Nanyang County?"

Another minister came out and offered a plan.

"Now the construction of the roads in various places has not been completed. If we wait until the transportation is mobilized from various places, the victims in Nanyang will starve to death long ago!"

Before Ying Zheng could respond, Zhi Su Nei Shi Yang Guang shook his head and denied the decision!
The scene fell into a stalemate for a while...

Just when Emperor Qin and the officials were scratching their heads in anxiety, a voice that sounded naive sounded.

"I report to my father, according to my son, the most urgent task is to alleviate the disaster so that the local people can have something to eat!"

"Our road from Xianyang to Nanyang has basically been built, why not transport grain from our Xianyang to solve the urgent need first!"

"Let's take a picture later, get the surplus food nearby, and support the local area!"

Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound, and the person who made the sound was Hu Hai, the eighteenth prince!

I saw him standing in front of the hall with his eyes wide open, making an impassioned speech.

"Of course it's a good idea, but Lord Zhisu Neishi Yang Guang has already said that there is no surplus food in our treasury!"

"If military rations are forcibly transferred, the troops will not have enough rations. Where will the food come from and be transferred to Nanyang?"

Qin Huang frowned and asked.

"In my opinion, we have a lot of rich merchants in Xianyang City, why don't we launch a fundraiser to get food for disaster relief!"

"But it may still not be enough. Therefore, I suggest that our ministers and princes also respond to this fundraising, donate food reserves, and first solve the urgent needs of the disaster-stricken areas in Nanyang!!"

Hu Hai held his head high and told his plan.

"This is a good idea!"

Your Highness, Prime Minister Li Si immediately clapped his hands and applauded after hearing this!
"Well, not bad!"

When Emperor Qin heard this, he nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing Ying Zheng's approval, Hu Hai smiled naively and continued: "My son is willing to act as a representative and donate two hundred dan of food!"

Seeing Hu Hai's statement, the ministers who supported him were also unambiguous.

"I am also willing to contribute to the country with the eighteenth son, and donate two hundred stones!"

"I donate a hundred stones!"

"I donate 150 shi!"

Just when the ministers were choosing to donate money, Hu Hai came to Fusu with a smile, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "I have heard that brother, you have a kind heart and sympathy for the common people!"

"In today's situation, why have you been silent all the time? In my opinion, you should donate at least one or two thousand stones, right?"

Hu Hai's words were meant to ridicule Fusu. Who in the Qin Dynasty didn't know that the young master Fusu was upright and honest, and his expenses were very small. How could he have one or two thousand dan of food in his house?
