Chapter 216
"Oh, what is the Prime Minister going to do?"
Ying Zheng thought that Li Si was going to play some trivial things again, so he didn't care.
"Your Majesty, Wechen received a report today,
It has not rained for more than a month from the Guanzhong Plain to the Huaihai area.
If the drought continues, the horror will cause a severe drought.
This will affect the autumn harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes! "
"What? Is the situation already that serious? "
As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng stood up directly, and his face was also solemn.
The ministers in the main hall also know that it hasn't rained in Xianyang for a long time.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be so serious that it affects the autumn harvest.
You must know that this year's sweet potato harvest is not enough, and the people will not have enough to eat, and if you are not careful, it will cause civil unrest.
Thinking of this, the ministers' faces all became heavy, and they were all silent.
Seeing Ying Zheng's solemn face, Li Si had no choice but to reply stubbornly:
"Back to Your Majesty, because we have more stock in the homes of the people of Daqin than before,
That's why after such a long drought, the hidden danger of the disaster was discovered. "
"But if the drought continues, and the people's homes run out of stock, and the grain harvest fails,
Then there will be a severe drought. "
"So, please make a decision as soon as possible and come up with an idea."
Ying Zheng nodded solemnly when he heard this,
Then he stared at the ministers and asked:
"The prime minister is right,
The current situation is that this drought must not affect our sweet potato harvest. "
"As long as sweet potatoes are not affected,
Even if there is another drought, we need not be afraid. "
"I wonder if you Aiqing have any good strategies to protect sweet potatoes from the effects of drought?"
But after the ministers heard Ying Zheng's inquiry, they all shrunk their necks and remained silent.
Protecting sweet potatoes and other foods from drought is nothing more than making it rain.
But they are not dragon lords, how can they let it rain all day?
Therefore, there is no solution to the problem raised by Ying Zheng, so the ministers will not touch Ying Zheng's mold.
Seeing that the ministers were all silent, Ying Zheng's face instantly became gloomy, and there was a faint tendency to rage.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a glance, I don't know if to talk about it or not?"
At this time, when the ministers were silent, Xiao He stood up from the crowd and said to Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng was about to be angry, but when he saw Xiao He standing up, he suddenly said with a happy face:
"Xiao Aiqing has a good plan, come quickly!"
Xiao He had already prepared his words, and said calmly:
"Your Majesty, Wechen believes that the crux of this large-scale drought is that it has not rained.
As long as we let it rain all day, the crisis of sweet potatoes and potatoes can be lifted. "
After Ying Zheng listened, his face suddenly turned cold.
He thought that Xiao He had some tricks, but he didn't expect to say a lot of nonsense directly.
I saw Ying Zheng directly flick the dragon robe, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Hmph, how could I not know!"
"But let it rain,
That's a very difficult thing, Xiao Aiqing, do you have a way to make it rain? "
Xiao He arched his hand, and said with a sneering face:
"Weichen is shallow, how can there be a way to solve this kind of problem?"
Ying Zheng's face immediately became furious, and he yelled at Xiao He:
"Xiao He, are you playing tricks?"
The ministers in the hall also sweated for Xiao He, Xiao He was dying, and he dared to tease His Majesty.
Xiao He saw Ying Zheng's face angry, but he was not in a hurry, and arched again and said to Ying Zheng:
"Weichen thinks that His Majesty can ask the meaning of the marquis,
Dingguohou has vast powers and is omnipotent, and there may be a way to make it rain all day. "
When Ying Zheng heard this, the anger on his face disappeared directly, and then the whole person had a feeling of brightness.
Xiao He is right, He Chao is indeed extraordinary, and often helps Yingzheng solve problems that he can't solve.
When the ministers in the hall heard this, they also felt that their eyes lit up, and then they nodded one after another:
"What Lord Xiao said is right, the ability to do a good job is extraordinary, maybe there is really a solution."
"Your Majesty, why don't we go to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion?"
"If you want to let it rain, I'm afraid you really have to ask for help from the Marquis of Dingguo!"
......
The ministers also felt that what Xiao He said was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.
Ying Zheng saw that the ministers all agreed,
A hint of excitement flashed on his face, and he had already decided to go to Dingguo Hou to ask He Chao for help.
But after a little excitement, Ying Zheng quickly calmed down, and then frowned and said:
"My virtuous son-in-law is indeed extraordinary,
But this time, it is going to make it rain, and the virtuous son-in-law is not the dragon king, does he really have a way? "
As soon as the words fell, the ministers were silent, like a basin of cold water poured on their hearts.
Ying Zheng said well, this time I want to make it rain,
He Chao is not the Dragon King, can he still call the wind and rain?
"Your Majesty, we don't have a more suitable candidate than the Marquis of Dingguo, no matter what the result is, we have to give it a try."
At this time, Xiao He stepped forward and arched his hand, and said with a serious face.
"Xiao Aiqing is right, let's go to Dingguo Hou now."
Ying Zheng nodded subconsciously, it just so happened that he hadn't seen He Chao for a long time, so he immediately agreed.
Soon, Ying Zheng took a group of important ministers to He Chao's mansion and asked him for advice on how to solve the drought.
Dingguo Hou Mansion, since He Chao got the effect of the Western Regions and successfully set up the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions,
He was free again, staying at home all day with his four ladies and his daughter, Xiangxiang.
On this day, after breakfast, He Chao took Xiangxiang to the back garden to play.
Now Xiang Xiang can climb, she is active all day long, and likes to crawl around on the ground.
At this time, in the courtyard, Xiangxiang was crawling back and forth on the ground inlaid with porcelain plates.
"Haha, come, Xiangxiang climbed to Daddy!"
He Chao jumped more than ten meters away from Xiangxiang and clapped his hands at her.
"Babbling."
Xiangxiang babbled and laughed as she crawled towards He Chao's position.
Yingciman and the other four daughters are also on the side,
Seeing He Chao teasing his daughter, he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
"Haha, that's good."
"Come, let Daddy kiss one."
After Xiangxiang crawled over, He Chao directly hugged Xiangxiang up,
Then he doted on her delicate face and kissed her.
"Virtuous son-in-law, you still have a leisurely life, accompany your wife and tease your daughter every day, I am envious when I see it."
At this moment, Ying Zheng came with a group of ministers and said sourly.
"Father-in-law, stop kidding."
When He Chao saw Yingzheng coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a solemn face:
"I'm not kidding, I've encountered a big problem this time, and this time I came here to ask you for help."
