I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 131 Food Insufficiency
The next day.

When dawn comes.

In Daliang City.

At the moment, it has been blocked.

Unfortunately, it was too late to block.

This is helpless.

Ying Changsheng and the others brought too few people, and those soldiers fell asleep directly.

Wake them up.

Then let them come out and block the gates.

Too much time wasted.

As a result, all the officials headed by Janan fled away.

I don’t know where I escaped to.

But even so.

Ying Changsheng still knew the real reason for the rebellion.

At this moment, looking at the kneeling little official in front of him, Ying Changsheng completely understood.

Why are the officials here all implicated in the rebellion.

This little official was captured and returned from the city.

His official position is really too low.

Therefore, corruption and other matters are not his turn.

I just heard him explain.

"Young Master Nineteen, I don't know something. As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water. There is nothing in Daliang City. These officials ate to the granary. It's too big, these officials are probably worried that after the incident is revealed, they will be killed, so they have to turn around..."

The little official's words reached Wang Jian's ears, he raised his eyebrows, and then questioned.

"Then let me ask you, if this is the case, why didn't you report this matter to the court earlier?"

"How dare a villain report it?"

The little official showed bitterness, and then said to Wang Jian.

"If the villain reports it today, then the villain will die at home tomorrow!"

"This is not nonsense. Someone once reported this matter. As a result, the next day, all five members of the family died at home. Then the government sent people to check and said that this family died of serious illness. Tell me, there is such a precedent, how dare we report it?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian's complexion was abnormally gloomy.

Ying Changsheng on the side, with a straight face, was very angry, he asked.

"In that granary, how much grain is short, and who embezzled it? Do you know?"

"Well, this villain is not very clear..."

The little official shook his head.

"It's really too much, and I don't know how to count this, so the villain doesn't know at all, but, about half of the stored food is missing..."

"half!"

Wang Jian exclaimed.

This special meow is half a granary.

Seventy to eighty thousand shi of grain!
How dare these people have such courage?
For a while, Wang Jian gritted his teeth and said.

"It seems that the officials in Kanto are really bad. You have to report to His Majesty later, and His Majesty will severely punish this matter!"

"Yes!"

Ying Changsheng sighed.

The government here is too bad.

It was so bad that Ying Changsheng was shocked.

He only heard, he opened his mouth to order.

"Immediately send someone to take action and issue a warrant to arrest this escaped official, and then submit the list of all the officials who have served as Liang to the imperial court, and my father will send someone down to thoroughly investigate the matter!"

"As it should be!"

Said aside.

It should be so.

This corruption is really too severe.

It has reached the point where it cannot be done without punishment.

But Ying Changsheng continued to give instructions.

"However, corruption is easy to deal with, and it is enough to pursue responsibility. Now the grain in the granary is really, it is a headache!"

The good food has been reduced by half out of thin air.

It's hard not to give people a headache.

Wang Jian at the side also turned gloomy when he heard the words.

During the disaster year, there was already a shortage of food.

Now, all of a sudden.

At least [-] to [-] shi of food were missing.

Is this so unfrowning?

You know, even if all the corrupt officials are arrested.

Copy all their net worth.

It is also impossible to rediscover all the money and food they embezzled.

This is a fact, there is no doubt about it.

Because, after corrupt officials have embezzled money and food.

They will not keep all this stuff in their hands and treat it like a miser.

There are such people, but they are very few.

Most of them are directly, squandering all of them.

So, this is a real headache.

"Forget it, I have to report this matter to my father, and let my father find a way to transport grain from Guanzhong. There are many granaries in Guanzhong, and [-] to [-] shi of grain can still be made up. It is the consumption of grain transportation." , a bit bigger!"

Ying Changsheng sighed.

……

a few days later.

In Xianyang City.

After receiving the memorial from Ying Changsheng.

Ying Zheng's face was so gloomy that blood could drip from it.

Well, he was so angry.

The reason for the anger is.

Kanto actually found out such a serious corruption case.

Most importantly.

These bastards.

How dare you murder your own son because of this!
This makes Yingzheng, how can he not be angry?
All I saw was the silent hall where a needle could be clearly heard falling.

Ying Zheng's angry voice came out.

"Check, let me check, check carefully, don't let them escape, don't let any one go, no matter who is involved, where they are, no matter who they are, they will be thoroughly investigated, and then they will be killed together!"

"I will obey your orders!"

All of a sudden, the officials shouted.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, it took him a while to relax, and he frowned and said to the officials in the palace.

"In addition to these, I have a headache now. There is a severe drought in the Kanto region, and there is a severe shortage of food. Although Changsheng asked the big family to lend food to the people, the food is not enough now, and the food of the big family is also limited. How can you help me?" , another way?"

"Your Majesty, if there is food, there is!"

Li Si said without thinking.

After all, Great Qin was a huge centralized and powerful empire.

As for food, no matter what, there are some reserves.

However, in ancient times.

It’s not that you have food.

That's it.

Sometimes, having food doesn't mean you can transport the food to the disaster area.

All I saw was that Li Si said helplessly towards Ying Zheng.

"My Daqin granary stores a lot of grain in it. It is not so easy to transport grain from other places to Kanto!"

"Now the grain in Guanzhong cannot be moved, it can only be transferred from other places!"

Li Si said again.

The grain in Guanzhong is Daqin's last reserve.

It is Daqin's backup resource.

This batch of grain will never be touched unless it is absolutely necessary and the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

And Li Si continued.

"As for my Daqin, there is a shortage of food in various places nowadays, and the granaries in many places are also empty, or half empty. If we adjust the food from these places, what should we do if there is an accident here?"

"So, I thought, now we have to adjust the grain from one place!"

"Where?"

Ying Zheng asked immediately.
