The north was gradually becoming dry, and the common people were aware of the various actions of the imperial court. Even when a drought came, it did not cause much panic.
In the past few years, every household has saved a lot of food and there is no need to worry about starving to death. The imperial court has also mobilized so much food and various daily necessities, and these things have been recorded in the newspapers.
The court's appeasement was still very useful. The common people did what they should do and tried their best to prepare more things in order to survive better.
Ying Zheng looked at the report submitted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards about the movements of the common people, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
My daughter is the one who knows how to do these things. She understands the people's will, which is why the common people have so much trust in the Qin Dynasty.
The people of Qian have so much trust in the Qin State, so the Qin State naturally cannot let them down.
"Li Si, pay attention to the prices in Daqin and don't let the prices of various materials rise too much." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.
"I have asked someone to keep an eye on it." Li Si said seriously. If anyone tried to profit from the national crisis at this critical moment, he would not be polite.
"Have the county lieutenants in various places pay more attention to this, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this opportunity to incite public opinion or cause unrest."
As Ying Zheng made his arrangements one by one, in addition to paying attention to various places, he also began to pay attention to the news in the official newspapers, and would not allow anyone to spread random news at this time.
At this time, whoever dares to make trouble will be punished.
After these orders were issued, Ying Zheng began to ask about Zhao Qingrui's current situation. His daughter was pregnant now, and he was really worried if he didn't receive news from her every day.
Li Si and the others didn't know about Zhao Qingrui's situation for the time being. They just thought that the emperor valued His Majesty. After all, His Majesty was the ruler of a country now.
-----------------
Full loads of grain were transported to various places, and some old grain was released from the court's warehouses. The price of this old grain was much cheaper than that on the market.
At the beginning, some merchants took advantage of the situation and wanted to stockpile some food.
However, when they saw the imperial court sending them a steady stream of food, they stopped in time.
The weather has been good in recent years, and they can hardly imagine how much grain has been stored in the imperial granaries.
The old grain sold by the court was about fifty cents cheaper than the market price. Even though it was old grain, it still made the people very happy.
The court's old grain had only been stored for a few years and had not become moldy. It was preserved very well and you couldn't tell it was old grain unless you looked closely.
What’s more, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, so many people bought a lot to store.
"The current Qin Dynasty is still good. The court has stored so much grain. We will never have to worry about going hungry in the future." A man carried a bag of wheat and went home with his fellow villagers with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Yes, the Qin Dynasty has ended the war, and Your Majesty has found so much high-yield grain. With these purchases, we don't have to worry at all this year." Others also quickly agreed.
Days like this are like a dream, and this is all thanks to Your Majesty.
I will go back and pay my respects more often. I hope that His Majesty and the Emperor can live in good health.
This situation is happening everywhere.
The huge grain reserves of the Qin Dynasty not only prevented the price of grain in the market from rising, but also caused it to drop a lot.
The ones who benefit are the common people, and they are all very happy.
With food in hand, I am not worried. The panic on my face when I noticed the drought before has almost disappeared.
In addition to selling grain, Ying Zheng also asked people to dig more wells in these places.
Try to keep the farmland irrigated. If there is not enough water, at least make sure the people have water to drink.
Zhao Qingrui could not hear the simple wishes of the people. The convoy was moving on the grassland, and the situation on the grassland was a bit bad.
The rainfall in the grassland area is originally less than that in the Central Plains. Due to the drought in the Central Plains this year, the rainfall in the grassland area is even less.
She needs to pay more attention to this side. She doesn't want these people to rebel against the Qin Dynasty before she can train them well.
Zhao Qingrui told Ying Zheng what he had discovered and asked him to mobilize some food from this side to stabilize the people here.
Ying Zheng did not object. If these people rebelled, it would not be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.
People in the grassland do not have as much demand for land as those in the Central Plains. As long as they raise more cattle and sheep, they can make a lot of money. The demand for cattle and sheep in the Central Plains is still very high.
Ying Zheng looked at the grain dispatches he approved, and every time he stamped the jade seal, he felt a little nervous. Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty had accumulated enough grain in the past few years, otherwise it would not be able to withstand such a toss.
The grain that has been mobilized so far accounts for one-tenth of the total grain stored in the Qin Dynasty, but Ying Zheng still feels a little nervous.
These were the grains that had been stored for several years. He was heartbroken to see them just be given away like that.
With so much food, how many troops can be fed?
The number of active soldiers in Daqin has reached about 1.5 million. These soldiers are scattered across the borders of Daqin, guarding Daqin.
Such a large army is definitely enough to guard the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Qingrui has no intention of increasing the number for the time being.
Every year, some soldiers are laid off and new soldiers are recruited with preferential treatment. After retirement, they are given priority for recruitment by officials from all over the country, and factories also give retired soldiers many preferential treatments.
At present, all of Zhao Qingrui’s requirements have been implemented and no problems have arisen.
