The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 183 Bai Jie's Princess (two in one, please vote~)

After Ying Zheng got to know Ying Xin quite well, he finally understood that this girl was truly a rare good child from the aristocracy.

This girl has been sensible and strong-willed since childhood. She is loved by King Xiaocheng of Zhao and has never encountered any setbacks since childhood.

She also possesses a kindness that is rare among the nobles and sympathizes with the lower-class people. Her identity also prevents her inner kindness from being hurt when she does good deeds.

Everyone in Handan knows that when you are starving to death, you can go to Princess Ying Xin's mansion and have a full meal.

Most people can distinguish between good and bad, and Ying Xin has gained praise and friendship from the people of Handan.

Of course, God is fair. He gave her a stunning appearance, an excellent family background, a rare kind heart, and a strong enough temperament, but took away her other talents. It must be said that God always likes to play with people like this.

She likes martial arts, but the results of her efforts in learning martial arts are not ideal.

She read hundreds of classics, but she met the wrong teacher. She just studied hard and had no experience of worldly affairs. What she learned from books was ultimately false.

Too naive about the world.

He has a good temperament, good character, and is very smart, but he is too naive and pure, ignorant of worldly affairs, and rather simple-minded. He still reaches the stage where he sees things in black and white.

I hope she can stay like this forever and not be tainted by black. Ying Zheng is also willing to take good care of her.

Well, try to dye her white.

As for women, Ying Zheng still likes this kind of women.

Being naive and simple is not a sin.

It is because this world is too cruel, the darkness is too vicious, and the twisted heart envies this beautiful virtue.

But virtue is never fault or sin.

All beautiful things are worth protecting.

In addition, Ying Zheng also confirmed through empirical evidence that even such a tough, confident, heroic and beautiful woman would still admit defeat, surrender, and even scream loudly when she encountered an enemy she could not resist at all.

It proves that he is not stupid. He knows to admit defeat and surrender when he cannot win.

Ying Zheng went to court early in the morning as usual. When Ying Xin woke up late at noon, there was no one around her. He couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Looking at the conspicuous red color on the bedding and the mess, her pretty face turned red and she asked her personal maid to clean it up quickly and put it away carefully.

With the help of the maid, she barely got up and took a bath and washed herself.

The maid whispered that the king had asked people to prepare food and supplements, and that there was no need to pay a visit to the Queen Mother Sangong today.

In addition, the king renamed this palace as Zhao Palace to comfort his wife's homesickness.

Ying Xin felt warm in her heart. This King of Qin was indeed a good person. He was completely different from the Kings of Qin in the rumors of previous generations.

After eating something, I felt really tired and lay down on the bed to rest.

The king really went too far last night. He had no idea of ​​following the rules of the underworld. He had clearly admitted defeat and begged for mercy. Isn't it said that as long as people in the underworld are not fighting to the death, they should just admit defeat and stop?

But the king is truly a benevolent monarch!

Ying Xin lay weakly on the bed, resting, thinking about things in a daze.

Ying Zheng has the upper hand over such a good child. Last night, on the way to Ying Xin's heart, he also instilled some ideas into her mind.

Some words about peace in the world, benefiting the people, eliminating hatred, no more war, and when will the cycle of revenge end? Then some words about the monarch's helplessness and his best efforts to change.

Successfully changed the girl's mind. After all, women will generally listen if you speak reason to them while appealing to their hearts.

Similarly, after a woman is conquered physically, her heart will also be slowly conquered.

Especially a good girl like Ying Xin who is innocent and simple and always thinks positively about things.

Just like Ying Xin’s thoughts about Ying Zheng and Daqin are also changing now. Although it is impossible to completely change to do everything for Daqin, things are getting better.

At least now Ying Xin is thinking that she must serve the King of Qin well, give birth to the King of Qin's child, find a way to influence the King of Qin's thoughts, and resolve the hatred between Qin and Zhao.

Of course, the change of ideas about the Qin State and the King of Qin also requires practical actions.

The previous actions of Qin after the marriage alliance, such as joining Zhao to attack Wei, mediating peace talks, and sending troops to help Li Mu defeat the Huns, all gave Ying Xin the illusion that marriage was useful.

The current King of Qin is different from the previous one.

After all, this girl doesn't understand the deep-seated interests in politics, and Ying Zheng won't explain it to her, so why bother to taint a good girl?

In addition, he gave Ying Xin an offer that she could not refuse out of gratitude.

Now the Three Jins are suffering from a disaster and Zhao is short of food. Daqin is willing to sell Zhao 10,000 dan of grain. Although it is not much, it is a timely help. After all, Daqin seems to be hit by the disaster and is extremely short of food.

Ying Xin was deeply moved by Ying Zheng's actions, and she worked even harder last night. It has to be said that this princess is truly patriotic and loves her people.

At this time, the State of Zhao was exhausted and suffered a major disaster, which was like adding insult to injury. What was even more terrifying was that they found that they could not buy food.

Wei and Han were in the same boat. They did not have enough food themselves, and even if they did, they would not sell it to Zhao. As for Chu, not to mention the long distance, it was impossible for them to transport food to Chu through Wei.

The State of Yan was suffering from cold weather, and the King of Yan now hated the State of Zhao so much that he strictly prohibited the sale of grain to the State of Zhao.

Only a small amount of smuggled grain could reach the State of Zhao, and the price was ridiculously high. Strangely enough, the biggest smuggler was actually Yan Chunjun.

Although Yan Chunjun was defeated, King Xi of Yan knew that it was not just Yan Chunjun's fault. His younger brother was still useful. It would be better to use his skills than to work hard.

Yan Chunjun was only scolded and fined one thousand yuan, and there were no other punishments.

As for the smuggling of grain, it was also instructed by King Xi of Yan.

He hated Zhao State, but wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune from Zhao State, so he deliberately prohibited Yan State from selling grain to Zhao State, and took the opportunity to let Yan Chunjun sell grain to Zhao State, so that the price of grain would be higher.

Zhao's biggest food source now is Qi. Qi is rich and has not suffered any disaster this time. Even with the chaos in the world this year, there has been little loss.

However, Qi State has always been relaxed and has a free business atmosphere. This time, many big businessmen took advantage of the situation and hoarded goods, causing the price of grain available to Zhao State to remain extremely high. Even though King Jian of Qi repeatedly demanded a price reduction for grain, it still had little effect.

King Jian of Qi just turned a blind eye. After all, the dead were people from Zhao, not Qi. The higher the price, the more tax would be collected. Moreover, the owners of these many big businessmen were high-ranking figures in the court. King Jian of Qi himself was involved in it, so why bother to make a fuss about it for the sake of Zhao?
There is another most important reason why grain prices are extremely high in the world today. That is, the Qin State began to secretly purchase grain on a large scale last year, sparing no effort. Until today, various countries have discovered that their own grain and the grain on the market are much less than they imagined, and the price is much more expensive.

So the state of Zhao was really miserable now. Famine and cannibalism were no longer just a saying, but a terrible reality. Of course, Ying Zheng was willing to sell grain to the state of Zhao not to please the beauty.

It was a plan that had already been made.

Adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need, especially helping someone in need, which can effectively resolve hatred.

Alliance with the State of Zhao, helping the State of Zhao to resolve the Huns, helping the State of Zhao to negotiate peace, resolving the war crisis, and then taking advantage of the great disaster when the country was in trouble and the people were hungry, taking the opportunity to sell grain cheaply. This combination of punches was originally intended to resolve the hatred between Qin and Zhao.

In the future, the children born through marriage with the State of Zhao will be enough to ensure a stable ruling environment for the State of Zhao.

When he learned that Princess Ying Xin, whom he was about to marry, unexpectedly had a good reputation among the people of Zhao, he made a new change to his grain selling plan.

The current situation is that the King of Qin is benevolent, and Lady Ying Xin is also kind. They cannot bear to see the people starve to death, even if it is a disaster for Qin. In order to show the friendship between the two countries and their determination to eliminate hatred, Qin sells grain to Zhao at a low price.

Of course, the above sentence is all the propaganda of the Qin Dynasty in the State of Zhao.

In fact, Qin did sell 10,000 shi of grain to Zhao at a low price, which was only three times the amount it bought last year. Considering the current grain price, it was already given away for free.

However, according to the nature of the noble officials of the Zhao State, it was inevitable that about one-third of these grains would be used for disaster relief (perhaps less than one-third), and the rest would appear at high prices in the grain market.

With Guo Kai's secret instigation and help, this kind of thing was bound to happen. This was normal, as major disasters had always been a carnival for the rich and powerful, a carnival for land annexation, and the raising of slaves at low prices.

At the same time, Ying Zheng sent people to prepare 10,000 shi of grain to go to Zhao State for disaster relief, in the name of Daqin and Ying Xin.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

The relief porridge of the Zhao court was different from water only in that it was a little turbid. The relief porridge not far away that was named after Daqin and Yingxin, although not so thick that you could not stick chopsticks in it without it falling over, was at least thick. After drinking a bowl of it, you would feel warm and come back to life.

With Guo Kai's cover and instructions, and in the name of Daqin and Ying Xin, no Zhao official dared to cause trouble, and Daqin's disaster relief could be carried out effectively.

The daily food supply is not too much in order to extend the duration of disaster relief as much as possible, and to take advantage of the opportunity to promote disaster relief.

During the disaster relief, it was secretly publicized that Qin had a lot of disaster relief food for Zhao, but you couldn't buy it, it was all because of the corruption in the court.

Although this is true, after exaggerated propaganda, it is obvious that the emperor and his ministers in the Zhao court are even worse.

The Six Kingdoms have always been completely untrustworthy to the people because of the anthropomorphic operations of the monarchs and ministers in the court. People don't believe it on normal days, which easily leads to conspiracy theories. Now it is just adding fuel to the fire and exaggerating it a little, so the people will naturally believe it without a doubt.

This is not the people's fault. The experience of their ancestors tells them that those who believed in the government's words have all died long ago. The people who are still alive today are all wary of the government.

Moreover, the actions of the Zhao court were indeed not good enough. The people were starving to death, selling their children and even eating each other, but the government had no practical and reliable measures. How could the people not have complaints and hatred? In this situation, the spread of rumors was smoother than expected.

The people have a high level of subjective initiative.

By the end, the low-priced grain from Qin had become a gift from Qin to Zhao for a marriage alliance, because the King of Qin favored Princess Ying Xin, so that the people would not starve to death. But the damned corrupt officials started a war as soon as they came to power, and now they are hoarding and selling Qin's relief grain at a high price!

If you don't believe me, look at the porridge pots at the disaster relief stalls. Is there any food in the pots? Is there any difference between it and water?
This kind of "truth" is what everyone likes and is willing to believe.

God is my witness, the rumors spread from the Qin Dynasty are not that outrageous.

In comparison, even the Qin State does not seem so hateful.

King Qin, Princess Ying Xin is a good person!

The rulers and ministers of Zhao are nothing but insects!
It has to be said that Ying Zheng was well aware of human nature and acted in accordance with human nature, with extremely good results.

This wave of events caused great damage to the people's morale in the Zhao court, greatly eased the hatred between Qin and Zhao, and established a good reputation for Ying Xin, laying the foundation for her and Ying Xin's son to become famous in the future.

By the way, he won the heart of the beauty. Now Ying Xin is so obedient and devoted to Ying Zheng.

Blood earned!
Now Ying Xin can be said to be full of confidence and enthusiasm. He is determined to run the Qin State well and change both Qin and Zhao.

She also made up her mind to make friends with Queen Dowager Zhao. Although she was not prominent, she was the person with the most influence on King Qin.

The Queen Mother Zhao was from Zhao, and so was I. Moreover, there were also people from Zhao around the Queen Mother Zhao, and they had the same accent, so I had a natural advantage.

Ying Xin made up her mind to visit Queen Dowager Zhao often.

I have to say that Ying Xin really has strong execution ability. In the next few days, he was attacked at night and begged for mercy repeatedly, and was defeated miserably.

But as soon as the sun rose, he was still busy playing with Zhao Ji, and actively sent people to contact the Zhao people in the Qin court. He was really full of energy.

Ying Zheng also turned a blind eye and wanted to see how many people this silly girl could attract. With such political literacy, this idiot who was willing to support her should be kicked out of the court as soon as possible. He was not suitable for survival in the court at all.

But Ying Zheng knew in his heart that even though Ying Xin was dancing happily, it was most likely just a lot of noise with little action.

She is too high-profile. Who would be so ostentatious in forming cliques and factions when involved in politics?

Most likely, these people would just give it a try to save face, but they would not actually follow her path to seek death.

Mi Yun has no time to be jealous or to compete with Ying Xin now, as she is about to give birth.

Ying Zheng was extremely concerned about Mi Yun's childbirth. After all, the risk of Mi Yun's childbirth was much greater than that of Nian Duan.

Not to mention her age, Mi Yun's health is really unsafe.

How thin is Mi Yun's slim waist?
The width of an A4 paper minus nearly one-third is the width of her waist.

When Mi Yun was pregnant, Ying Zheng had already worried about her safety. As for now, it was hard for Ying Zheng not to worry about her safety.

Although there is calculation, there is also emotion.

Besides, this plan hasn't been completed yet.

Fortunately, after more than a month of recuperation, Nian Duan has no problem delivering babies now. Now that Nian Duan is personally delivering the baby, Ying Zheng can finally put his mind at ease.

Ying Zheng was fully confident in his elder sister's kindness as a doctor.

Although Mi Yun was unwilling, she still knew the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, she believed in Nian Duan's medical skills and ethics from the bottom of her heart.

Even so, Ying Zheng stayed outside the palace and went to rescue personally when necessary.
