Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 822
The plague was brought under control.

The cure medicine continued to produce effects, and the new cases recovered quickly, and the old severe patients were gradually recovering, but there were still critically ill patients who were killed by the plague, but they were very few after all.

With the cure, new cases gradually returned to zero.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

After months of depression, the atmosphere here has returned to enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

"My lord, according to the speed of recovery, in ten days, we can announce to the world that the plague has passed." Xun Yu was overjoyed.

The plague in Qin Feng's place has been brought under control, the people are getting better gradually, and Qin Feng's prestige is even greater.And a news is also circulating among the common people, it is said that Qin Feng is the brother of Haotian God, that is, the brother of God.It is God who can't bear the suffering of the people, and specially sends brothers to help the people.

If you don’t believe me, think about it.The words and deeds of the prime minister often contain great truths, which the sage cannot express.The system implemented by the prime minister has never existed in thousands of years, and the policy of benefiting the people implemented by the prime minister has not been implemented by that Duke of Zhou.

All of these are because of the fact that the prime minister is the brother of the Emperor of Heaven.That's why he can tell the truth that even the sages can't say, implement the system that hasn't existed for thousands of years, and love the people so much.

The common people believed in this, so, gradually, the common people in the North completely believed in this legend.After the plague, Qin Feng's prestige has reached its peak in the hearts of the northern people.The awe and admiration of the common people towards Qin Feng has reached a frenzy.

Qin Feng controlled the plague and became popular.

But Qin Feng knew that his life was hanging by a thread.

"Master, Master Zaozhi is here." Dian Wei came in to report.

The military advisers' hearts sank. They knew that Qin Feng summoned Zaozhi to ask about agricultural issues.The joy that came from being cured of the plague suddenly disappeared.into the fear of imminent famine.

Qin Feng paid a huge price to cure the plague.This is also because the princes fell into trouble and blacked out all the food in Qin Feng's hands. If there is no food, the people will starve to death and become chaotic. This is also fatal to Qin Feng.

"My lord!" Zaoyi, as the lieutenant of Tuntian, doesn't look like a court official at all. He looks like a dirty old man at the moment. He was not like this before.

Then Zaozhi reported the current situation of agricultural production under Qin Feng's rule.

The situation is very serious. Due to the isolation system, the fields are barren and untended, resulting in weeds growing higher than grain.

"I'm afraid, the production will be reduced by [-]%..." Zaozhi said.He is not talking nonsense, but also a conclusion drawn after research and analysis.

All the food under Qin Feng's rule has been replaced with medicinal materials, so he relies on autumn food.Since Qin Feng has always encouraged land reclamation and farming, and there are official farms and military camps, if there is a bumper harvest, it can meet the basic needs of the people under his rule.

But now, production is reduced by [-]%.In other words, there is only enough to eat and drink until the end of the year, and there will be no food for the whole spring of the next year.The people have no food, the officials have no food, and the army has no food.Global famine is to be expected.

In the meeting hall, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Qin Feng's heart sank as if he was under the mountain, and asked: "Can you replant, replant some other edible crops..."

Zaozhi said with difficulty: "It will be winter in more than a month. If you replant, at most seedlings will grow, and you will not be able to head..."

Qin Feng was very depressed. In this era, there are no crops such as potatoes in China. If there are such crops, if they are replanted, even if they are not mature, they can still harvest some.

Zaozhi suggested: "My lord, now I can only go to other places to buy food..."

The military advisers didn't answer. In fact, they also wanted to go to other places to buy grain, but with the current situation in the world, the princes from all over the country made it clear that they wanted to destroy Qin Feng, so it was impossible for them to sell grain to Qin Feng.Only Sun Ce will definitely support, but it is far away in Jiangdong, separated by several princes, so it is impossible to transport it.And Ma Teng may sell them there, but Ma Teng is located in the outskirts, and the agricultural productivity is very limited.

"My lord, first go to General Ma Teng to buy some military rations," Xu Shu said.

Only some military rations can be obtained from Ma Teng.

Qin Feng cheered up and said to Zaozhi: "You go back, the quarantine order will be lifted soon, we must do everything possible to collect more food."

"Here." Zaoyi walked back with heavy steps.

Qin Feng waved his hand, and the military advisers also left.

a while.

Old Jia Xu turned around alone.

"What's the matter with Wen He?" Qin Feng reluctantly asked.

Old Jiaxu said: "My lord, the autumn harvest is about to start. The people will find that they can't survive the winter when they harvest the grain. And we can't exchange the borrowed grain. At this time, we should strictly control it and manage it militarily. Otherwise, There will be a civil uprising."

Qin Feng said solemnly: "If militarized management is implemented, the situation may be exacerbated."

Old Jia Xu said, "Only by militarized management, can we suppress it at the first time. If it is not implemented, it will really be chaotic."

Repression!Qin Feng didn't speak for a long time. For many years, the word "repression" didn't exist for him.

"The government forces the people to rebel, Jia Xu, you are harming the lord!"

When everyone looked around, it turned out that it was Pang Tong who came in. After he came in, he saluted Jia Xu very dissatisfied: "You must know the prestige of the lord among the people, and the hearts of the people are with the lord. We will definitely overcome the difficulties together!"

Old Jiaxu was surprisingly calm, and said: "It must have been like this at the beginning. The people really love the lord. However, if you don't have enough to eat, and you are on the verge of starving to death... you can change your child to eat. At that time, Who cares too much?"

This kind of thing can happen, and Qin Feng's prestige will not be effective at that time.

Pang Tong stopped talking.

Jia Xu said that military management of the people is actually preparing for suppression, so as to prevent the people from forming large-scale riots.Regarding the suppression, Qin Feng still hesitated, he just said: "I will consider this matter."

Jia Xu said: "My lord, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Jia Xu and Pang Tong left.

Before Qin Feng had time to catch his breath, Dian Wei sent the intelligence guard's information.According to intelligence, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have already started mobilizing troops.The intention is very clear, that is, waiting for the famine to form on Qin Feng's side, they will launch a war.

It was getting dark, and the meeting hall was full of lights. Qin Feng just sat there quietly, looking at the two reports on the desk.One is about food issues, and the other is about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's deployment of troops.

If these two reports could be combined into one, the famine under Qin Feng's rule would definitely be unavoidable. His people would be chaotic without food, and his army would have no combat effectiveness without food.At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao launched a war, and Qin Feng's ending can be imagined.

No matter how capable Qin Feng is, and how capable the civil and military personnel under his command are, they cannot conjure food out of thin air.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, Qin Feng's eldest wife, Cai Yan, came to the conference hall. She heard that Qin Feng was in the conference hall overnight, so she hurried to come and see.She saw that her husband was sitting there like a statue, as if he hadn't moved a bit since ancient times.

"Husband, you have gray hair..." In Cai Yan's impression, Qin Feng had never had gray hair.Such a thing as worrying and turning gray all night happened to her husband.Her tears couldn't stop falling down.
