Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Above the court, Ying Zheng and the courtiers looked very serious.

Although dozens of braziers were burning in the hall, many courtiers still felt a chill in their hearts.

"New news arrived today"

"Among them, in Beidi County alone, more than 50,000 households were affected by the disaster, and in Longxi County, more than 30,000 people were suffering from hunger and cold!"

"Dear friends, do you have any good strategies to survive this snowstorm?"

Zhengchang Ying sighed.

Longxi and Beidi, which are closer to Xianyang, have suffered such losses. Liaoxi and other counties further north and more remote still don't know what they will become. The reason why no news came, It’s not that there is no disaster, but it means that the snow disaster is too serious.

It is so big that the news cannot be spread. A conservative estimate is that the number of people affected by the disaster in the entire Daqin is probably no less than one million households!

You know, the entire Daqin is no more than There are only six to seven million households!

Li Si and others had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

In the past few years, natural disasters have never stopped in Great Qin. Every winter, people freeze to death and starve to death.

To put it bluntly, It’s just that there are not enough food and winter supplies.

This year is a little better. In several counties closer to Xianyang, people have used cheap and reliable coal and heated ondols. Moreover, due to the development of commerce, their incomes have also increased significantly. There are few, and the family can save some winter supplies.

But this is only around Xianyang. Remote areas, especially outside the county towns, are still just as backward.

Although the court has made some preparations in advance, they are all in Under normal circumstances.

Now that we suddenly encounter this once-in-a-hundred-year snowstorm, we are completely powerless.

Moreover, at this moment, the court does not even know the specific situation, so how can it make judgments and decisions.

Ying Zheng sighed again.

Although the kings of the Qin Dynasty paid great attention to food, and successively built large-scale water conservancy projects such as Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, turning Shu County into a land of abundance, and the dry land of Guanzhong into thousands of miles of fertile wilderness.

But it is still far from enough.

Now, although Fusu has brought Once a high-yielding new crop like potatoes is promoted, it will be enough to satisfy the people of Qin.

However, the problem lies in the critical point that potatoes have not yet been fully promoted.

Although there are still some emergency food reserves in Xianyang City, But facing millions of victims, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, due to the severe snow disaster and extremely heavy snow accumulation on Chidao, even this little food cannot be transported.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but lament.

Even if it is a year late, it will be fine..

It’s a pity that God doesn’t have what he wants!

If it continues like this, I don’t know how many people in Daqin will freeze to death and starve to death in this white snow disaster.

Especially in remote areas and suburbs, people mostly live in thatched houses. Lord.

Once the snow continues to fall, the thatched house may not be able to hold on and will be crushed. Even if there is some food left, it will be buried in the snow.

It will really make matters worse!

Ying Zheng glanced at the embarrassed courtiers , and finally set his sights on Fusu.

At this time, the only one he could count on was Fusu

"Does Your Highness have any good strategies for dealing with snow disasters?"

Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Jian and others also looked at Fusu.

I don't know when, Fusu had unknowingly become the backbone of the entire court.

"There is a way, but it can only alleviate it, not cure it! Fusu frowned and said

"Say it!"

Ying Zheng said eagerly.

At this time when everyone is at a loss, it would be great if there is some way!

"First, the emperor can order all counties and counties to organize manpower to inspect townships and villages, temporarily move the affected people to the city, and open official warehouses to release grain."

"no problem!"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, but then he became embarrassed again:"In this remote county, I am afraid that there is not much surplus food in the official warehouse, I am afraid that it will not last long!"

"And how to spread this news to counties is also a big problem."

"Even if the news arrives, counties and counties are already short of manpower. It would be great to ensure that the county and the people in the county are not cold and hungry. Where will the manpower go out of the city to patrol the countryside!"

"How about recruiting civilian husbands?"

"I also want you to recruit and mobilize!"

"Now in the disaster-stricken areas, every household is overwhelmed."

Li Si and others also frowned and added in a flurry of words.

"Don't forget, everyone, I, Da Qin, have a force of one million people, and they are most obedient to orders. We have human resources in every county that we can use. Fusu said in a deep voice.

Li Si and others were stunned for a moment.

Where did Da Qin come from, such a large force as Fusu said?

Only Wang Jian and Ying Zheng had a hint of understanding in their eyes.

"Fusu, what do you mean, dispatch the garrison?"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Exactly, the meaning of the existence of our Da Qin army is to protect our country and protect our peace."

"Now that the people are suffering from disasters, I believe that disaster relief should also be one of the military's responsibilities.

Fusu said in a deep voice:"Apart from this, I can't think of any other manpower that I can use.""

"This is not a bad idea!"

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't expect it.

In terms of organizational ability and discipline, there is no group stronger than the army.

It can also ensure sufficient loyalty.

"But if the garrison is mobilized, will there be any changes?"

Wang Ben frowned and said.

Although Da Qin's biggest foreign enemies, the Xiongnu and the Dayue clan, have been destroyed, and Donghu has been defeated, it is basically impossible to cause trouble to Da Qin.

But within Da Qin, there are still many who have not been eliminated. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are lost.

If the garrison moves and the defense is empty, this group of people will come out to cause trouble, which will be very difficult.

"The most important task at present is disaster relief, so that more people can survive this snow disaster without starving to death!"

"As for those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, it would be better if they were more honest. If they dare to make trouble at this time, I will let them understand what cruelty means!"

"Moreover, not all of the garrison will be mobilized. Some can be left behind to guard the city together with the civilians in the city."

"As long as the people's support is with us, there is nothing to fear from a mere clown!"

"On the contrary, if we do not provide disaster relief, if the people cannot survive, they will be easily instigated, and that will be really troublesome. Fusu said sternly.

The faces of all the ministers suddenly changed.

Although the trouble Fusu mentioned was not clear, they all knew it very well. If the people can't survive, what else can they do?

A group of people suddenly fell Take a breath of air conditioning

"Just do what Fusu said!"

"I want to see if that remnant from the Six Kingdoms dares to risk the disdain of the world and come out to cause trouble. I will definitely punish him from the Nine Clan!"

Ying Zheng punched Yu An hard and roared angrily.
