The Minister of Revenue stood up and said: Your Majesty, we have actually just discovered this.
There may be a very serious locust plague this year!
If this continues, we may not be able to harvest any grain this year.
This is too scary!
This year, our Great Qin Empire encountered drought, plague, and then a locust plague!
If we hadn't been well prepared, we would have been finished long ago.
In fact, if these three disasters occurred at the same time in any other era of the Qin Empire, it would probably be a catastrophe that would spread over thousands of miles and leave corpses everywhere.
But now their Great Qin Empire has managed to survive, but the locust plague is a very difficult problem to deal with.
Zhao Xin frowned slightly: Have you thought about how to deal with these things?
At this time, there was an older-looking guy in the crowd who said tremblingly: Your Majesty, according to common sense, if God has sent down so many disasters at once, it can only mean one thing, that is... it can only mean... The old man did not continue speaking here.
Because in its memory, if God sent down so many disasters at once, it could only mean that the emperor was immoral and had offended God.
At this time, the emperor, who had no ability, could only wait for death!
Even a capable emperor would only pray to God and blame himself, and make a self-criticism edict.
Of course, these things are basically useless in Zhao Xin Salt.
Seeing the old man hesitating, he couldn't help laughing: You mean that what I have done over the years is wrong, right?
What you mean is that I need to issue an edict now and blame myself for my mistakes so that God can stop the disaster, right?
Do you think this kind of thing can be solved this way?
After hearing what Zhao Xin said, many ministers looked at each other in confusion.
They actually all thought so in their hearts because this was the legend since ancient times.
If too many disasters are sent down from heaven, it means that it is the emperor's fault, otherwise such a big thing would never happen.
But do they dare to say such things now?
They simply don't dare to say such things.
Because the man sitting on the dragon throne now is a murderer, who dares to offend him?
The most important thing is that no one is his opponent now.
These things are definitely very uncomfortable for these ministers.
But now they also have no way out.
Now they felt that there was no way to blame the emperor, so there was nothing else to say. They could only remain silent and had no idea what to do.
Zhao Xin said with a smile: Let’s not talk about whether there is a heaven in this world!
Even if there is a God in this world, and I, the emperor, have truly offended God, and the reason I offended God is because I did bad things and hurt my people, then if God punishes me by hurting my people, what kind of punishment is this?
This only proves that this God is not God at all and that this God is evil.
Man can conquer nature. One day we will be able to defeat nature, and we will not be bound by anything in nature.
What drought? We have completely overcome it and it doesn't even have any impact on us.
The plague does not have much impact on us. Although hundreds of thousands of people may have been infected, there does not seem to be many casualties so far.
There was no chaos!
As for this locust plague, I believe we can eliminate these guys if we come out of the cave together.
Everyone in our Great Qin Empire can be a warrior, so let all the warriors go out to catch locusts.
The captured locusts can be sold for money, and we can use our national treasury to buy all of them!
How many locusts can there be!
We simply charged 5 cents per pound for locusts, which cost at most half of the national treasury, and we caught all of them.
After Zhao Xin said this, many ministers were shocked again.
Their emperor is so willful that he actually uses the money in the national treasury to buy these useless things.
Although this is a very good thing for the people, if they all catch locusts, they will not starve even if they have no harvest this year because they have enough money.
Now the Qin Empire has stored an incalculable amount of grain. In the worst case scenario, you may not be able to buy it if you don’t have money, but as long as you have enough money, there will definitely be no problem.
However, the Great Qin Empire still has a lot of things to do. With so many things to do, it is simply nonsense to spend such a huge price to buy locusts.
This is something that only the most incompetent of incompetent rulers can do.
Zhao Xin said with a smile: Why are you afraid of so many things? Do you think I will lose money?
These locusts will certainly be useful to me, so there's no need to worry too much.
You can rest assured that I will never do business at a loss. I am a very good emperor, although I can be very cruel sometimes. But as long as you just do your job for me, I will never treat any of you unfairly.
Have you also seen when I have treated you unfairly?
After hearing this, many ministers were speechless.
Because what Zhao Xin said was indeed very correct. Zhao Xin never treated them unfairly and never suffered any loss.
But doesn't it mean that everything he does is an accident?
Of course, no one dared to say anything or ask anything now, so they just went down to make arrangements.
Soon the news spread to every corner of the Qin Empire.
Many people were very surprised after hearing the news?
What?
His Majesty the Emperor actually paid for locusts?
There is such a good thing?
This is a great opportunity to generate revenue.
The people of the Qin Empire immediately became motivated.
Although these locusts are indeed very scary, they are a very important source of income for the people of the Qin Empire who want to get rich.
Those locusts all over the sky are just coins all over the sky.
The people of the Qin Empire did this kind of thing almost day and night.
Moreover, when the people of the Qin Empire had enough food and clothing, they had to use their brains and imagination to invent many solutions when they encountered many problems.
At this time, the locusts that were all over the sky had completely become prey in the eyes of the people of the Qin Empire.
