In the four northern continents, there are many places where large-scale locust plagues will occur!
After Zheng Jianqiu read the content on the black booklet, he was shocked. Even his hands were trembling faintly. You must know that in this era, some major natural disasters may destroy the foundation of a dynasty and make it quickly
Decline, or even large-scale civil strife, resulting in a change of dynasty.
Zheng Sheng saw his son's face suddenly changed after reading the book. He just frowned and did not blame him for being impatient. After all, this matter was too big. Even he was shocked after reading the book. If it hadn't been for the book.
The seal was correct, and he thought it was some bastard playing a trick on him.
"Jianqiu, what do you think of this large-scale locust plague?" Zheng Sheng stretched out his hand, took the folding bag again from his son's hand, looked at it carefully again, and asked.
Zheng Jianqiu was in a state of shock before. He could not give any specific opinions at this moment. He just replied matter-of-factly: "Father, I think if there is really a large-scale locust plague in the north, a large number of refugees will flow into Liuzhou."
, if local officials are not adequately prepared and if something is not handled properly, riots are likely to occur, so we should take precautions in advance."
"Well! I will go to the military camp tomorrow to make arrangements for relevant matters." Zheng Sheng felt that his son was still young and had not experienced any major events. It was quite rare for him to be able to put himself in the general's shoes and think of what to do in a short period of time.
, but if you want to make a difference in the future, these are still far from enough.
In order to enable his son to think more, he reminded him, "Jianqiu, think about it, what would happen if a large-scale disaster broke out in the four northern continents and there was a war there?"
"Ah?" Zheng Jianqiu exclaimed. He had previously only thought of the Zheng family's responsibilities, and his vision was indeed a bit narrower. "Father, from my point of view, if the person who was stabbed knew about this, he would definitely attack on a large scale.
By then I'm afraid the border will be in trouble again."
Zheng Sheng didn't speak when he heard this, he just shook his head and said nothing.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Zheng Jianqiu asked back.
"Jianqiu, when you encounter something in the future, you must use your brain more and analyze it based on the actual local situation at that time and all the useful information. It is true that you said that the thrusters will come and invade in a large scale, but there is a large-scale locust plague in the north.
, it will definitely lead to a situation where food is scarce and demand exceeds supply. When the people have no food, in order to prevent civil unrest, the court must open warehouses to provide disaster relief. Otherwise, there is no need to stab people suddenly. The people in the north want to eat one bite to survive.
There will be riots and bring down the North."
After hearing his father's analysis, Zheng Jianqiu was even more shocked, "Then according to my father's wishes, if we really open warehouses for disaster relief, what will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed at the border eat?"
Zheng Sheng shook his head and replied: "It's not what I want, but it depends on what the higher-ups will do! In addition, in addition to this problem, there is another bigger thing that you didn't think of."
"Oh? What else?"
"Your Majesty, you haven't considered that the current Emperor is already terminally ill. It would be a big disaster if he died at this juncture!"
No matter how seriously ill the emperor is today, the emperor's power is still there. No one dares to disobey the emperor's order. And as long as the emperor does not die, both the court and the harem can be relatively stable. But if the emperor is really at this time
It would be really bad if he died.
Not to mention natural disasters, unstable public sentiment, and severe foreign aggression, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, when the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be a bloody storm.
There are several reasons why this is so:
First, the struggle for the throne. There are many royal descendants and many women in the harem. Who doesn’t want to inherit the throne and be the master of the world? So when the old emperor is critically ill, these people will conspire and do whatever they can to do anything.
It's possible. In fact, at this time, those who want to compete for the throne have no way out, because in normal times, they have already offended their opponents to death. If they don't take action now, they will only die in the future.
Second, vassals everywhere rebelled. When a new emperor ascended the throne, it was when the imperial power was most unstable and doubtful. If any vassal king was ambitious, he would definitely choose to launch a mutiny at this time.
Thirdly, every emperor has his own ministers. Whenever a new emperor comes to the throne, he will replace a group of old ministers and then promote his own confidants. At this time, there will inevitably be unrest in the court due to too many handovers between old and new officials.
Zheng Jianqiu is not stupid, he is just young and has not encountered many problems. At this moment, after careful guidance from his father, after thinking deeply for a while, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If these things happen next
If it really comes true, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the entire Daqian Dynasty.
"What does father mean?"
"It's very simple, do your own thing well, then keep your eyes open, ears clean, always pay attention to the changes in the court, take one step at a time, look at each step, as long as you don't stand in the wrong team at the critical moment."
At this time, Zheng Sheng's eyes were shining brightly. He was no longer the fast-talking warrior he had been during the meal.
Zheng Jianqiu nodded solemnly when he heard this, indicating that he understood.
"By the way, didn't you invite Lin Jingzhi to your house as a guest tomorrow? Then I will spare some time for my father to sit with him for a while." Suddenly, Zheng Sheng suddenly changed the topic and talked about Lin Jingzhi.
Zheng Jianqiu didn't know why, shouldn't his father go to the military camp to make preparations in advance?
Seeing the confusion in his son's eyes, Zheng Sheng smiled and said: "Jianqiu, your behavior is still a little bad. Think about it, if there is a large-scale locust plague in the north, what will be in short supply?"
"Food!" Zheng Jianqiu replied without hesitation.
"Yes, it's just food, but besides food, if you have enough money, it's also a feasible solution."
Zheng Jianqiu was startled and asked blankly: "Father, what do you mean by this? Do you want to take advantage of the Lin family's money?"
"Not bad!" Zheng Sheng smiled confidently.
"But the Lin family is a famous and wealthy noble in Luo City. How can it be so easy to deal with?" Zheng Jianqiuci wondered if his father had made the wrong idea.
"Who said that if you want to get the Lin family's money, you have to deal with them first? Jianqiu, as his father is an official, will not rob them forcefully. He just plans to have some friendship with them. In this way, as long as we don't ask for too much in the future
, I think the Lin family will not be stingy for the sake of Mr. Zheng. Of course, in fact, it is a last resort for my father to make such a move."
"You must know that my father has nearly 100,000 soldiers to feed, but if there is a locust plague in the north, the court will definitely spend money like water in order to buy food for disaster relief and support border wars, and the national treasury will be empty. By then, there will be no money left.
The money has come to pay the military, but if the military pay is owed, the sergeants will definitely be dissatisfied, so my father thought of a way in advance to make friends with as many powerful and wealthy businessmen as possible."
At this point, Zheng Jianqiu understood his father's plan. He nodded in admiration and secretly praised in his heart. Sure enough, Jiang was still hot for his age. But when it came to making friends with the Lin family, he remembered the matter of Rou and his sister marrying Lin Jingzhi. If
If the two families can get married, wouldn't the relationship be closer? At this complicated moment, even if Lin Jingzhi no longer enters the official career in the future and is just a wealthy businessman, he should not underestimate it. He said:
"Father, you see that sister Xuemei is not young anymore, why not promise her to Lin Jingzhi?"
