Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 85 Chapter 85, Lu Buwei blames Yao Xing
A prime minister can't squeeze out the money he casually takes out of the treasury. As the king of Qin, how can he not be frustrated.

Zhao Zheng couldn't hate Zhao Ji, who gave birth to him, so he didn't put all the depression on him.

It was also from this moment that Zhao Zheng had the idea of ​​overthrowing Lu Buwei.After he takes charge, he will definitely take back the power in Lu Buwei's hands. No one in the Qin Dynasty can suppress him.

Yao Xing and Zhao Zheng, as usual, read together, talked about political affairs, and now worked together for the people.

The locust plague arrived as scheduled, but the damage was not reduced by half because of Yao Xing's preparations.Yao Xing and Zhao Zheng were escorted by a group of guards to the fields, and saw with their own eyes locusts all over the fields gnawing on the ears of wheat.

The buzz of their flight was deafening, but for some reason, Yao Xing heard the wailing of the people amidst the buzz from all directions.

Lu Buwei's funding and the grain bought by Zhao Liao from all his family property enabled the people to survive last year's famine, but this year there was not much left.Moreover, Qin suffered the most losses due to the locust plague, and there were also losses in nearby places. After purchasing large quantities of grain last year, we will no longer be able to buy grain this year.

Fortunately, rabbits and goats breed in large numbers, and locusts have not caused harm to them, which can solve the food and clothing problem of some people.

Yao Xing asked people to get all the medicine to prevent plague from the greenhouse, and just waited for the weather to get cold, then boiled it and gave it to the people.

But these were only enough for the people of Qin to persist until winter.

After winter has passed, the fields have to be replanted with seeds, and the harvest is in autumn, and there are still eight or nine months of drought. The bark of wild vegetables in summer can keep a few people alive.

Zhao Zheng could not sleep at night, and Lu Buwei and Ying Xihe had no countermeasures.In the end, he had to send a message to other countries, allowing them to exchange grain for Qin's red bricks and cement.

Lu Buwei strongly opposed it. He did not want Qin's city defense equipment to be obtained by other countries, and believed that Qin's war opportunities could not be compromised.Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, showed unprecedented strength. He refuted Lu Buwei's words for the first time in front of all the court officials, and even reprimanded Lu Buwei:
"A country is built on its people, not on its king or its prime minister! If the people are dead and the soldiers are dead, what kind of king is this man, and what kind of prime minister is the prime minister?"

Seeing that Zhao Zheng was resolute, Lu Buwei finally backed down.Otherwise, with his foundation and connections in the court, half of the court would be opposed, and Zhao Zheng would be helpless.Zhao Zheng's decisiveness in killing was cultivated by him, and it was also what he was most satisfied with, so he did not want Zhao Zheng to lose his majesty in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

But he blamed Yao Xing for the anger Zhao Zheng made him suffer, thinking that it was Yao Xing's advice that made Zhao Zheng so determined.After all, Yao Xing had mentioned this point of view to him before.

Lu Buwei went to see Zhao Ji that day, not to reminisce about the past, but to suggest that Zhao Ji find a suitable woman for Zhao Zheng to be his queen.It is said that Zhao Zheng is now as majestic as the King of Qin in his decisive killings, and can prepare to choose a queen. When the famine is over, he can prepare to get married.

This was Lu Buwei's punishment for Yao Xing, and he didn't even cover it up.Entering Zhao Ji's palace with great fanfare, after some discussion, Zhao Ji began to choose among the princesses from various countries, just to tell Yao Xing that even if Yao Xing had captured Zhao Zheng's heart, she was far from his opponent. He casually said A few words can shatter Yao Xing's illusions.
