Chapter 81

When Fusu woke up, it was almost evening. He rushed to Handan overnight and arranged disaster relief matters non-stop after arriving in the night. This time he slept a little deeper and felt a little dizzy when he woke up.

After Fusu ate some food, he asked someone to get documents to see the situation reported by each county. Although all he sorted out were simple data, it looked a little shocking. He sighed and drew several details on the verification on the first day, and asked someone to send it to Handan City early in the morning tomorrow.

After Fusu finished his work, Zhang Liangcai proposed to introduce him to him, saying that he thought the other person was very good at learning.

Fusu became interested and said, "The person who has agreed to be with Zifang must meet him."

Zhang Liang went to bring Chen Ping over, and the three of them sat around the lamp and talked.

At first, Chen Ping was a little restrained. As he spoke, he found that Fusu was as gentle as Zhang Liang, and gradually let go. He heard Fusu and Zhang Liang mention that there were books in various counties in the Qin Dynasty for people to read. The Imperial College and Yunyang Academy even had books from all over the world. He was immediately fascinated and wished he could go to Xianyang to take a look immediately.

Chen Ping sighed: "The world is changing with each passing day. If I don't come out this time, I wouldn't know that Qin has changed like this."

In fact, what he had even harder to imagine was that the Qin State would conquer Zhao State with lightning speed the second year after taking down South Korea. If he had known about this, he would not have been studying in Handan at that critical moment and was trapped for so long for no reason.

The three of them got into a chat, but Chen Ping stopped being held back and volunteered to help with disaster relief.

Chen Ping has studied and visited many places. If he said he wanted to do something big, he still has no experience, but he can still do it by looking at the documents and sorting out the data. Today he followed him all the way and saw the hungry people in Handan County. He really wanted to follow Fusu to do some small work for the victims.

"Okay." Fusu responded and welcomed Chen Ping's joining.

After Zhang Liang and Chen Ping left, Li Youcai came to report the results of the interrogation.

Li You and Wang Li interrogated the county magistrates and singers separately. They knew that the singer was indeed a Xinzheng person and would hate the Qin people because their father and brother died in the war.

The dagger was not prepared for Fusu. At first she wanted to kill the county magistrate who did not regard the people as human beings. However, the singer recognized that Fusu had the imperial guards and must have been born in the Qin royal family. She quickly changed her target and prepared to kill Fusu to avenge her father and brother.

When the war comes, it will always be linked to the separation of life and death of thousands of families, and no one can erase the hatred they have arisen due to the death of their close relatives.

Fusu sighed lightly and asked Li You to deal with the songbird with ease. She didn't have to be assassinated, but she just needed to be considered as a county magistrate and imprisoned to serve hard labor.

Li You looked at Fusu and wanted to speak but stopped.

In his opinion, those county officials should be killed, and those singers should be killed even more. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, it is a death sentence to assassination of Fusu.

Fusu sat under the lamp, his eyebrows and eyes reflected warm candlelight. His tone was calm and firm: "Jiba said at the beginning that there is no way to kill such people."

In fact, no matter how severe the law is, it cannot kill all unwilling people in the world, and it cannot stop the unfair words in the world. Only punishments that can serve as warnings to later generations will be useful, otherwise it will only add more resentment.

There is no need to kill a weak woman who doesn't like mediocre officials and cruel officials who want to fight to the death. How many men in this world can have the bloody nature of her?

Li You took the order and left.

Fusu sat under the lamp and wrote a letter to Ying Zheng.

That night, they rested in the worst-hit county town.

For a while, Fusu did not go to other counties, nor did he return to Handan. Instead, he was in this small county town where most of the people starved to death. Every day, the subordinates came and went, busy reporting on the disaster relief progress of each county.

When the first batch of grain was divided, all the males in the county had been registered and the grain was replanted into the ground. This season is more suitable for planting beans. Most areas have several mixed beans to prevent death from drought.

The most serious counties have improved, and the disaster relief work in other counties has naturally been carried out in an orderly manner. What we need to do next is to reserve enough personnel and connect a large number of men who are the most edible and hard-working to the surrounding counties to build roads and dig canals.

Fusu asked Li Mu to send people to the surrounding counties in batches, so that they could work hard to change meals, and give priority to solving the food problems of this large number of young and middle-aged people.

Although it was not a war, Li Mu had no problem dispatching this manpower. He quickly completed the connection with the counties and sent out a batch of young and middle-aged people. The pressure on disaster relief in the county was reduced by half.

Fusu dealt with a group of county officials in public, and replaced the people he brought, preparing to use materials to get some new things on the spot for milk work. Handan County, which is about to face the dilemma of no output or food stock for more than half a year.

Due to the famine, the animals and plants that can be eaten in Handan County have basically been eaten up. At present, the soil under the stones on the mountain can be used. Fusu walked around the county and found that there was a mountain where the soil and rock formations were indeed available. He immediately asked someone to surround the entire mountain.

If there hadn't been someone to investigate coal mine reserves in various places earlier, Fusu might have been a little hesitant, but now he won't.

When the second batch of relief grain arrived, Fusu began to organize the construction of young and brave houses in the county and neighboring counties to open kilns.

Zhang Liangqiqianly took the drawings drawn by Fusu and looked at them again and again. He couldn't see what they were used for. He couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this used for iron smelting? It doesn't look like it. Moreover, you are not in the Shaofu office now, so you can't make so many iron tools privately, right?"

Copper and ironware have always been excavated by the imperial court, and copper and ironware are not allowed to be cast in private. Most people dare to forge swords themselves but have to be beheaded.

Even though Fusu and Ying Zheng and his son are in good relationship at the moment, Zhang Liang doesn't think Fusu would make such a taboo.

The disaster relief was progressing smoothly, and Fusu was in a good mood. He smiled slightly when he heard this, and his cheeks rarely showed two slightly cute dimples. He also kept a secret with Zhang Liang: "You will know when the thing is made."

Seeing Fusu happy, Zhang Liang did not ask any further questions. He asked Chen Ping and the others to follow Fusu around the county to see how the people are doing now.

Since ancient times, the people have been most easily satisfied. However, in just a few days, this small county that was originally shrouded in death has recovered its vitality. People who go out to wash or carry water to water new seedlings can be seen in the fields.

Fusu has been staying in the county, and many people have already recognized him, so they come forward to talk to Fusu from afar.

Zhang Liang looked at the scene and felt that the scene was a bit familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he actually looked a little like Yunyang County. Fusu was young and it was not easy for people to feel awe. It was quite suitable to take the people-friendly route.

Zhang Liang did not say anything bad, but just listened to Fusu chatting with the people while paying attention to whether there were any evil people who were mixed with the people.

Compared with the prosperity of Handan County, Yan State was not very peaceful. Prince Dan of Yan had already returned to Yan State. He kept asking for the King of Yan, and told the King of Yan about the difficulties faced by Handan County. During this period, he also boasted about how kind Ying Zheng and Fusu were to behave in the people.

Prince Dan of Yan also talked to his father, saying that even though they didn’t deal with Zhao in the past, Zhao has now become the Handan County of Qin. Our Yan and Qin are so good. We count up and get married. The queen is still a princess of Qin. Therefore, when we are in trouble, we should lend a helping hand as soon as possible!

The King of Yan had long been wondering, thinking that Prince Yan had already served King Ying Zheng of Qin. Now that he heard what Prince Yan said to him, he was furious: Qin destroyed Zhao and Han, and as the prince of Yan, did he not have any sense of crisis? Zhao and Han are gone, Yan and Wei have become neighbors of Qin. If they help to help Qin save Handan County, the next one to die will be Yan!

Before Prince Dan of Yan could say more, King Yan scolded Prince Dan of Yan, saying that he had been brainwashed by King Ying Zheng of Qin, and had to help him count the money when he was sold.

After scolding, the King of Yan asked someone to put Prince Dan in Yan under house arrest so that he would not continue to sell Yan State.

Prince Dan of Yan came back with confidence, but after just a few words, he was scolded by the King of Yan and was locked up in confinement. He couldn't help but feel sad.

The father doesn’t like his son at all. What’s the point of his prince in front of him?

In the face of a famine where so many people starved to death, it is not a big deal for Yan State to help Handan County help a group of disaster victims. They can completely ask the victims to help build roads and dig canals to benefit the people of Yan State.

On the contrary, the future was full of troubles. At that time, the border between Yan and Zhao had not been peaceful, and the people of Zhao had little favor to them. The only difference was that they hated Qin more or Yan more.

If the Qin State's relief was timely and the people of Handan County were won over, and the Yan State would not even want to help casually, the Zhao State, who might have stabbed the Qin people in the back, would completely change its position!

After all, he has been the prince for so many years. Could it be a fool?

Fusu hopes that Yan and Wei will help relieve the victims, perhaps it is sincere, but Ying Zheng definitely did not think so.

When the eldest son came to visit him, Prince Dan of Yan explained the pros and cons of it and ordered the eldest son to take out all his family wealth and exchange it for food, and be sure to send the food to Fusu in person.

The food was sent, and Ying Zheng wanted to make a fuss about this matter at that time, but at least Wei State was in front of him. As for the matter of labor-for-relief, he could only wait until his father's anger disappeared before talking about it.

Prince Dan of Yan watched his son leave and sat alone in the moonlight and sighed.

Sometimes he really feels that he is better than not to be the prince, so that he can freely play football with his fellow friends, and there is no need to guess the intentions of his friends again and again.

...

At the same time, Xianyang also ushered in early summer with the full moon rising.

After summer, the weather became hotter, and Ying Zheng became much more innocent at night.

He already has many children, and he has many beautiful women with fat and thin air. There is really no need to force himself to be happy with anyone. It is better to have some time to work cool and comfortable than to have free time.

That night, Ying Zheng did not ask the subordinates to send people to bed, but instead wore a thin robe and looked like the report he had just returned to Xianyang. The court has been very busy recently, and in various senses, for the sake of Handan County, the Qin army did not provoke the Eastern countries on the border. The soldiers of each army took on the job of delivering food and giving people.
