Chapter 80: Daqin is in drought again, Chunyu Yue is ready to eat shit
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the years pass.

Ever since Zhao Gao had his ear cut off by Ying Ziye from a distance last time, he has been much more obedient and has stopped taking any action.

However.
Zhao Gao's inner ambition was not extinguished by setbacks.

On the contrary, Ying Ziye's actions aroused his burning desire even more!

He longs to take firm control of his own destiny!

But at this moment, this ambition was cleverly concealed by him, and he was patiently waiting for the right opportunity.

Without Zhao Gao's cunning schemes, Ying Ziye felt that life seemed to be missing a spice and became monotonous and boring.

Life in ancient times was simple and boring.

There is no prosperity of the Internet, no colorful gaming world, and no fascinating TV series.

His days were like a one-way street between the court and the bedroom.

Occasionally take the beauty to the garden to enjoy the scenery.

Although it is comfortable, it will last for a long time.

Still, it's hard to avoid feeling a little bored.

Spring goes and summer comes, and the hot season arrives as expected.

This summer is as hot as last year, and may even be hotter than previous years.

It is expected that some areas will face drought again and food production may drop significantly.

Ying Zheng had a premonition of this.

In the Zhangtai Palace.

"My dears, summer has arrived and the weather is as hot as a furnace."

"With this climate, I'm afraid some areas of Daqin will suffer from the same drought as last year."

"Counties and counties everywhere must be prepared and stockpile food just in case."

Ning Teng, the internal historian of Zhili, who was in charge of the money, grain and people's livelihood of Daqin, stood up with concern.

"Your Majesty, today's heat seems to be greater than in previous years."

"Based on this, it can be inferred that the drought may not be limited to Guanlong, but may also affect Nanyang County, Yingchuan County and other places."

"Especially the Chu area, Ba County, Kuaiji County, and Jiangdong County that were newly incorporated into the Qin State. The people's hearts in these places have not yet been completely stabilized."

"If we don't handle it properly, it may cause unrest among the people!"

Chunyu Yue immediately gave his advice, his eyes subtly glancing at Ying Ziye.

"Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly God's punishment for our Great Qin!"

"My Qin State destroyed Yan, Zhao, Chu, and the Xiongnu. Wars were frequent and millions of lives were lost!"

"God must be unable to bear this, and is using this disaster to warn our Great Qin, so that we will not be able to start a war again!"

Ying Ziye heard Chunyu Yue's words in the front row and couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling quite bored.

Why does this old man always use the same excuse - punishment from God?

It was the same last year and it’s the same this year! Can’t we have some new ideas?

"Your Majesty, you should stop the war, restore peace to the world, and then hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for forgiveness from the gods!"

Chunyu Yue continued to persuade.

now.

Ying Ziye has conquered three kingdoms in succession and has made great achievements. Once the world is unified, he will definitely be appointed as the crown prince by Ying Zheng...

Therefore, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of blocking the pace of Qin's unification and creating opportunities for Prince Fusu.

As the war subsided, Ying Ziye's prestige gradually declined from its peak and was no longer as dazzling as it is today.

Wait until that moment comes.

He will propose to Ying Zheng that Prince Fusu lead the army to attack Wei and destroy Mi!

only if!

Only Prince Fusu is qualified to compete with Ying Ziye for the position of crown prince!
"This"

Chunyu Yue's words put Ying Zheng in a dilemma.

As an ambitious monarch, he dreams of sweeping across the six kingdoms and unifying the country!
Now, this dream is within reach.

His original plan was to lead his troops to attack Wei after the autumn harvest, quickly wipe it out, and then attack Qi to realize his ambition of unification!

However.
Today's weather indicates that Qin will suffer another drought, and grain production will be severely affected. Even the food and clothing of the Qin people have become a problem, not to mention having the energy to attack Wei!
After two consecutive years of drought, even Ying Zheng had to admit that Chunyu Yue's point of view might make sense.

Perhaps God witnessed too much killing in the world, so he sent down punishment to prevent Qin from sending troops again.

In this feudal era where faith is supreme!

The ancients still had awe for destiny and gods.

Silent
The hall was completely silent, and everyone seemed to agree with Chunyu Yue's analysis.

Upon seeing this, Chunyu Yue held his head high and chest puffed out, his face filled with pride, like a rooster looking down on its peers!

On force.

He admitted that even if there were one hundred or one thousand of himself, they would not be a match for Ying Ziye.

Therefore, Chunyu Yue never dreamed of fighting against Ying Ziye with force.

But in terms of intelligence, he was confident that he could compete with Ying Ziye.

Look, he won!
Even the king and all the civil and military officials in the court have acquiesced, so what can Ying Ziye do?

Today, his fiefdom, Luoyang City, is also suffering from drought and can no longer supply food to the whole country like last year. It is an unsolvable dilemma!
He must shoulder this responsibility!

As a result, Ying Ziye's reputation in the court and among the people will decline sharply, and may even arouse the people's disgust!

Once the people's hearts are lost.

The threat posed by the Second Prince Ying Ziye to the crown prince position will be greatly weakened.

By the time.

Mobilize Confucian disciples to widely publicize Prince Fusu's benevolence among the people, and the position of crown prince will surely fall into his pocket!

"Don't worry, father."

"This is a piece of cake!"

Just when everyone was silent, Ying Ziye spoke.

moment.

Ying Zheng and all the civil and military officials looked at Ying Ziye with astonishment and surprise on their faces.

No way! ?

So easy?!
This is a widespread drought!

Unlike last year when it was limited to the Guanlong area, this time it almost swept across half of the Qin State!
Potatoes and sweet potatoes have not yet been planted in many places, and the output of the fields is far from meeting the needs of all Qin people!
snort!
boast!

I don’t believe you can solve the drought in Qin this time!

If you can really solve it, I, Chunyu Yue, will eat three pounds of feces on the spot and dance in the pit!

Chunyu Yue looked at him with disdain and secretly vowed that he would never believe it!

"Ziye, what's your trick?"

"Tell me quickly, we are eager to know!"

King Ying Zheng of Qin anxiously urged Ying Ziye, eager to hear his plan to resolve the siege.

If it were not for the situation, he would never miss the golden opportunity to attack Wei in the autumn.

Following Ying Zheng's urging, all the civil and military officials turned their eyes to Ying Ziye, full of anticipation.

They wanted to know, could the second prince really resolve this large-scale natural disaster?
As everyone held their breath, Ying Ziye spoke: "Drought and food shortages are common all over the world. There is only one reason - lack of water!"

“As long as the water problem is solved, everything will be solved.”

Ying Ziye smiled indifferently, completely ignoring the questioning looks from everyone.

As a time traveler, his knowledge far exceeds that of anyone in this era.
The problems that these ministers saw were nothing special to him.

“It’s easy to say. Everyone knows that solving the water shortage can solve the problem.”

"I understand, but it's impossible!"

Chunyu Yue muttered to himself, glancing at Ying Ziye with contempt.

Upon hearing this, the officials around him nodded in agreement. Although the words were rough, the logic was sound.

Everyone knows that drought is caused by lack of water. As long as there is water, the problem will be solved naturally.

However, if it doesn't rain, where can we find water? Asking people to fetch water from the river is like a drop in the bucket, which will not help.
