Xianyang, Lijiazhuang

Li Chen found that he never had time to have free time. If he had not been idle for a few days, he would inevitably have trouble coming to him. Now, Li Chen knew that he had been completely tied to the chariot of the Qin Dynasty. Only when the Qin puppet group was farther away can he live longer.

"Chen Ping, what do you think?" Li Chen handed the letter in his hand to Chen Ping. This letter was exactly what Xiang Zhuang sent, which reads Zhang Liang's actions these days.

After reading the letter, a trace of light scattered in the corner of his eyes, he said slowly: "Mr. Marquis, it's a big trouble. Zhang Liang must not be aimless. To be disrespectful, these people don't care who is sitting on the top. They only care whether they can have enough food. If there is no food, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos."

"Chen Ping, will this matter be related to that batch of copper ore?" Li Chen thought of the batch of copper ore again, which almost became his heart knot. At this time of his previous life, it was almost the end of the Qin Dynasty. To be honest, Li Chen was afraid that he did not know whether he could change the trajectory of history.

"It's not the Xiang tribe, the Xiang tribe absolutely has no ability to transport so many copper ores from Xianyang." Chen Ping decisively denied.

"Marty, I suspect that the court has not been checked completely, how could these copper mines disappear out of thin air? Unless it is our own person in Daqin, and this person must be in a high position." Chen Ping thought for a while and then said.

"Continue to investigate and investigate secretly." Li Chen said. What Chen Ping said was just a guess and a direction for handling the case. Without any evidence or clues, it would be impossible to rashly cause an uproar in the court. If Zhao Que was asked to take people on a large scale, the administrative operation of the entire Qin Dynasty would be paralyzed.

After Chen Ping left, Li Chen was thinking. He was thinking that if the Qin Dynasty was really in chaos, he would have some confidence in turning the tide. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang were the three forces who first launched an anti-Qin army in their previous lives, and then the remnants of the six countries rose up together. The remnants of the six countries were a group of fence-bearing grass, and the wind blew both sides. They must have been waiting and watching at the beginning. If the Qin Dynasty had the ability to quickly extinguish the flames of anti-Qin, they would naturally still live a stable life. If the Qin Dynasty was really shaky, they wouldn't mind filling in a fire.

Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu in his previous life, had a bad temper and stubborn temper. This was a tiger that ate people. But now with Zhang Liang's assistance, Xiang Yu has become a tiger that can fly.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites people does not bark. Compared to Xiang Yu, the silent Liu Bang is the one who worries the most. This is the real son of destiny. Pei County is a place of dragon prosperity and there are too many talents. Xiahou Ying, who drives the car, Zhou Bo, who blows the trumpet, Cao Shen, and Xiao He, the swordsman...

Every time I think of the great man in my previous life and Peixian, the place where Longxing was in my previous life, Li Chen felt a chill. To be honest, if you throw a brick on the streets of Peixian, and hit eight or nine out of ten people, they will be founding heroes of the great man in the future. Liu Bang, a gangster, seemed to be pushed by fate all the way.

As the days pass by, autumn harvest is about to be approaching. Li Chen didn't know how Zhang Liang would play the next step, so he could only take one step and counterattack him by chance.

"Mr. Marquis, Marquis, it's not good. The food in Donghai, Sishui, Jiujiang, Nanyang, Kuaiji, Yingchuan, Jibei, Dangjun, and Nanjun has been completely harvested." Chen Ping was really scared when he received a secret letter from Tianting in the morning.

"Zhang Liang, it must be Zhang Liang." Li Chen murmured to himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Liang made a move, and his move was a killer move. There were only thirty-six major counties in the entire Qin Dynasty. Zhang Liang made a move to nine major counties, which was a killer move, and the world was in chaos. These nine counties that were successfully harvested happened to be Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan in their previous lives. These three plain areas were the heavy grain-producing areas of the Qin Dynasty.

"Chen Ping, go see Your Majesty." Li Chen hurriedly took Chen Ping toward the palace.

Xianyang City, Afang Palace

Looking at the dozens of ministers in the hall, these were almost the real power figures of the entire Qin Dynasty. Li Chen nodded from Chen Ping and said, "Chen Ping, tell the ministers about our information."

Chen Ping did not frightened to glance at the ministers present and said strongly: "According to information, the grain harvest of the two counties in the East China Sea and Si Shui will be more than 80%. The grain harvest of the four counties in Jiujiang, Nanyang, Kuaiji and Yingchuan will be more than 50%. The grain harvest of the three counties in Jibei, Dang County and Nan County will also be more than 30%.

"Mr. Marquis, you're wrong. The Ministry of Revenue received letters from all over the country a few days ago, and these young seedlings are growing well." As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Wang Guan said anxiously.

"I also hope this is wrong, but this is the fact. The other counties have begun to harvest autumn one after another, but these nine counties are still green seedlings. The green seedlings in the East China Sea and Si Shui counties are still unfinished. Everyone, I don't need to mention the key points of this." Li Chen's face seemed a little unfavorable.

Among the 36 major counties of the Great Qin Dynasty, some remote and poor counties could only produce their own self-sufficient. Some counties had a lot of surplus grain, and it was these counties with surplus grain that supported the operation of the Qin Dynasty. However, the nine counties that had no income were all counties with surplus grain. Apart from these nine counties, there were only Sanqin, Guanzhong, Bashu, and Baiyue areas that could have some surplus grain.

"Prince Wang, the surplus grain from Curry can survive the coming year." The First Emperor asked Wang Guan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Old minister calculates."

"Old minister, do it." Wang Gong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

The Ministry of Revenue is in short supply and is in charge of the national expenditure input. In addition to being the Minister of Revenue, Wang Guan can naturally have the ability to take up the position of Minister of Revenue. The amount of surplus grain in the Ministry of Revenue, the annual input and annual expenditure are all engraved in Wang Guan's heart.

"Take out all the food in Your Majesty's nine warehouses, and you should be able to survive next year." Old Man Wang Guan seemed to have figured it out and said.

"Your Majesty, Marquis, I have something to say." Chen Ping suddenly spoke.

"explain."

After the First Emperor said that, Li Chen nodded at Chen Ping.

"I think the food in the nine warehouses is not enough, far from enough. The accounts are not calculated like Wang Shangshu, and state affairs are not addition or subtraction."

"I'll ask Mr. Wang what kind of loss will be on the road if it is a disaster relief and transported from granaries from various places to the disaster area."

"The grain has arrived in the county government offices in various places, but the county government offices have not been floating. After the disaster, will the various places be safe?"

"If the rebellion needs to be suppressed, will there be still food and grass in the army be left? What will be the projects in various places be changed next year? Can the rations of slaves from various places be left next year?"

Chen Ping asked questions and asked them again and again, and these questions hit Wang Gong’s heart, and Wang Gong was speechless.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent." Wang Gong crawled on the ground and shouted. Chen Ping said it was right, these were all things that Wang Gong Gong had not expected.

"Since Chen Aiqing raised the problem, there is a solution." The First Emperor asked.

"Businessmen, merchants definitely have surplus food in their hands. As long as they are willing to hand over the food in their hands, they will definitely be able to solve the problem of food." Chen Ping said.

"Your Majesty, I will issue an order."

"Yes, orders are issued to let these merchants hand over the food they have in their hands."

"Yes, if you dare not hand over, you will kill them all."

The court became noisy for a while.

"You are afraid that the Qin Dynasty is not chaotic enough. If you issue an order to force the expedition, you may push the merchants to the opposite side of the Qin Dynasty." Li Chen said.

Li Chen finally knew why the Qin Dynasty was gone in his previous life, and it was really not in the hands of these officials. The farmer had no food and was forced to requisition merchants' food. Wouldn't it be that the merchants forced to rebel?

"Your Majesty, let me handle this matter?" Li Chen bowed and said. Li Chen was still somewhat sure about collecting food from the merchants.

"I give you the right to be arbitrary, and I will leave this matter to you." The First Emperor said...

"Mr. Marquis, can this person be given to me to the Ministry of Revenue?" As soon as the morning court was dispersed, the Minister of Revenue pointed at Chen Ping and said to Li Chen.

"No." Li Chen said angrily. It was me, Li Chen, who dug other people's corners. You old man still wants to dig my corners. You are afraid you are not thinking about nothing.
