Consort Shu looked at Ying Zheng with slight concern, "Your Majesty is so angry, it's not good for your health. Should I have the kitchen prepare some nourishing soup?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with anger. "I don't want to be angry either, but Guanzhong has suffered a severe drought for three years, and Li Tuo managed to keep it a secret from us!"
"The entire court of civil and military officials were manipulated by a mere official in charge of grain storage!"
"If I hadn't discovered it this time, who knows how long we would have kept it a secret!"
As he spoke, he looked at the little guy, his face full of gratitude.
I have to thank Yu'er, otherwise I would still be deceived.
Consort Shu seemed to understand but not quite. "I don't understand matters of state either, but Your Majesty should try to calm down and resolve things slowly."
Ying Zheng sighed, "Guanzhong suffered a severe drought for three years and had no food. Although Qin appears to have abundant food now, it is actually in short supply."
"If there is no grain production in Guanzhong this year, then the Great Qin will surely fall into famine, and the world will be in chaos, with countless people being displaced."
"If someone with ulterior motives were to interfere, it wouldn't be impossible for the world to descend into chaos."
Ying Zheng's words were not an exaggeration.
If there is a shortage of food, the world will inevitably descend into chaos.
If even the supply of military rations cannot be guaranteed, then the army will fall into chaos.
As the soldiers' fighting strength declines, the power of the Qin state will weaken.
With wolves eyeing Qin from the outside and the old nobles of the six former states watching from within, they will surely pounce and tear Qin apart once they have the chance.
The situation will inevitably become turbulent at that time.
The little guy reached out and touched Ying Zheng's chin, as if to comfort him.
[Father, don't worry too much. This is a crisis, but it's also an opportunity for Great Qin.]
If handled properly, not only will the crisis be resolved, but Qin will also become famous throughout the world, and Father will be even more respected!
Ying Zheng wore a bitter expression.
He understands the principles, but how did he solve it?
As he pondered, Ying Zheng frowned. "Guanzhong has suffered a severe drought for three years. This is quite strange. There has never been such a situation before."
[It was all Li Tuo's fault. That guy deliberately angered the rain god by canceling the sacrificial ceremony, which caused the severe drought.]
[As long as the rituals and sincere prayers resume, it will rain again there.]
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was startled.
Will it rain if we resume the rituals?
Consort Shu's expression also changed slightly.
