As the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Imperial Censor, Feng Jie was not proficient in many matters in the court, but at least he had some understanding of them.

As rare major events in the court, Feng Jie naturally paid attention to matters such as spring plowing and refugees.

That's why he felt it so keenly.

Your chance has come!

Refugees definitely need to be resettled.

So, resettling the refugees will definitely require money and food, right?

After being settled, you will definitely have a good reputation, right?

Then isn't this thing tailor-made for people like them?

In fact, if we wait until Gongzi Yuan messes up the resettlement of the refugees before doing this, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Feng Jie, who thought he had planned everything out, now looked at Ying Yuan with a little more anticipation.

Come on, Gongzi Yuan!
The bigger your pot is, the greater the credit I will get when the time comes!

Li Si asked a question, and it was directly directed to Ying Yuan.

As the number one general under Ying Yuan, Xiao He should naturally step forward.

"Sir, before I entered Xianyang, I paid much attention to the refugees' affairs."

"Regarding the issue of refugees, I have a different opinion from the officials in the court!"

"In the eyes of the court officials, these refugees are nothing more than a resettlement issue. They only need to be given enough money and food and some land, and the problem will be solved."

"But in my opinion, this matter is actually a matter of human nature!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials' eyes fell on Xiao He.

They are all Li Si, and there is a little more gentleness in his eyes.

Obviously, the more Li Si came into contact with Xiao He, the better he thought of him.

Although Xiao He came from a humble background and was looked down upon by all the court officials, this did not prevent him from looking at problems from a unique perspective.

Because of his background, Xiao He would unconsciously consider the people.

At the same time, being in the court, he could think from the perspective of the Qin Dynasty as a whole.

When the two are added together, it becomes particularly comprehensive.

For Li Si, this alone proved that Xiao He was worth training.

Hearing Xiao He's unique words, Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Fengchang, go on!"

In fact, Ying Yuan had never really cared about the issue of refugees before.

After all, he was just an idle young man before.

Just live a comfortable life, why does he need to care about the affairs of state?
But actually?
The historical books only describe the famine and refugees during the Qin Dynasty in six simple words.

There is great hunger in old age, and people eat each other.

It may seem insignificant, but when you think about it, it is terrifying.

It has come to this, is there anything they dare not do?
When he thought of this, Ying Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

At this time, Xiao He also had a solemn expression on his face.

"Sir, refugees are not born refugees. In the final analysis, in my opinion, the main sources are two aspects!"

"First, war!"

"The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years. Even when the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, countless families were torn apart and people were displaced during the process."

"Although Your Majesty has issued an order on this matter long ago, the situations in each prefecture and county are different, and the abilities of the prefecture and county governors are also different, so the situations in which the refugees are resettled are also different."

When Xiao He said this, there was no smile on his face and his eyes were heavy.

Because he was born in Pei County, he had truly experienced war.

To many people in the court, war was nothing more than a few lines of words in books and memorials.

But for those who have truly experienced war, it is a life-and-death struggle, a desperate situation...

That kind of grief cannot be expressed in just a few words. When Wang Jian heard this, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes.

He is a military general!

He was the first military figure who massacred hundreds of thousands of people and truly helped the Qin Dynasty unify the world!
But precisely because he had experienced so much on the battlefield, he understood the trauma and consequences of war better than those boastful people in the court.

War is never a joke!
Xiao He didn't pay attention to others. Instead, he took a deep breath and turned to the second item.

"The second is the powerful!"

Having said that, Xiao He glanced at Feng Jie seemingly casually.

When Feng Jie saw this scene, he was suddenly startled.

Damn, is this bitch targeting me?

Xiao He didn't care about Feng Jie's thoughts. He spoke seriously according to his own ideas.

"Local tyrants are mostly clans or wealthy families, or nobles and gentry."

"It has become a common practice for these people to seize the world and oppress the people!"

“Local officials occasionally manage it, but they can’t handle it at all!”

"Because there are people in their tribe who are well versed in Qin law, they have already prepared everything to ensure that the people can only become tenants or even slaves!"

"Some of them were unwilling to be humiliated, so they simply left their homes and became refugees!"

"These people have actually lost trust in Daqin and the government."

"For them, even if they were allocated land and given money and food, they might still become refugees next year or the year after."

"It is even possible that the Qin Dynasty allocated land, money and grain to them, and then these things went into the pockets of local nobles and powerful people."

Be nice!

The court officials present at this moment looked at Xiao He with eyes that were no different from looking at a warrior!

Cow!

Noble and powerful!

You just said that?

You are so awesome!

But while the court officials were nervous, Ying Yuan was happy.

"Oh? What Xiao Fengchang said does make some sense!"

While sighing, Ying Yuan looked at Feng Jie beside him with interest.

At this moment, Feng Jie was trembling with fear.

Because what Xiao He said just now, wasn't it vaguely implying that these local tyrants were relying on their connections in the court?

who?

Isn’t it just him, Feng Jie?

This is a fucking public execution!
"Censor Feng, you are the famous son of the Feng family, and you are always quick-witted. I wonder what you think about the refugees?"

Ying Yuan asked this in a very calm and casual manner.

Even the smile on his face was particularly friendly.

This scene made everyone suspicious.

No!

Xiao He has already started to attack Feng Jie, and you are still asking him?
But Li Si's lips curled slightly.

Well, it has to be Gongzi Yuan!
Well, if you can’t solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem!
Feng Jie was not a man who would surrender without a fight. His mind raced, and he spoke with a righteous look on his face.

"My Lord, as an official of the Qin Empire, Feng Jie should serve the Qin Empire."

"The matter of refugees is of great importance. It is a stubborn disease of the Qin Dynasty. I am afraid that I will not be able to find a way to eradicate it at the moment."

"But, in my opinion, there are some measures that can solve the urgent problem!" (End of this chapter)
