Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Chapter 31



But none of the civil and military officials pointed it out. They all paid attention and looked at it. It was a bit like sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight.

His majesty squinted at the bottom, especially at old Qiu, waiting for him to roar in the hall or tit for tat.

But in fact, Qiu didn\'t speak again.

Is to bow and stand there, motionless and not say a word.

Your majesty sighed, turned his mouth, and then said, "does Qiu Aiqing have a way to prevent and control the locust disaster? No matter whether it will happen or not, we must be prepared. I... Don\'t want it to happen again."

He sighed and asked the ministers to look up at him immediately.

They remember that the plague of locusts came and could not be cured. Your majesty directly issued an edict, built a platform and climbed high, shouting, "if you want to eat, come and eat me! I use this body of flesh and blood for the people all over the world!"

At that time, locusts swarmed into the capital and beat his majesty, almost lifting him from the high platform.

That scene shocked many people.

Countless families scrambled to use their means to donate money and release food, which finally alleviated the disaster.

But

A disaster killed 50 million people in the state of Qin!

Hunger, natural and man-made disasters, and unrest on all sides.

How many villages disappeared directly, without a living person, and were abandoned.

In fact, the impact of this disaster has been affecting today, and the total population is not as good as it was 20 years ago.

ZTE\'s momentum... In your Majesty\'s view, it is a reward, but it also shows a trace of helplessness and falsehood.

When Qiu Ge heard his Majesty\'s question, he said in a loud voice, "in the view of my old minister, in case of such a disaster, there should be the courage of a strong man to break his arm!"

"A strong man breaks his wrists? Reconciliation?"

"It\'s a broken arm, not a broken wrist."

Old Qiu Ge corrected a sentence, which made his Majesty\'s face extremely ugly.

It\'s not that correcting things makes your majesty lose face, but the "wrist" and "arm" are different.

Breaking a small arm, and breaking the whole arm, of course, the latter is heavier.

His majesty took a deep breath and asked, "why did you break your arm?"

Old Qiu Ge said, "although the range of insect eggs is wide, they have not spread to the whole territory of the Central Plains. It\'s better to take this opportunity to burn all areas with insect eggs and strangle the plague of locusts in the cradle!"

"What?!"

Before his majesty could speak, master Zhao Wuji roared.

It is not that he is not calm, but that everyone is so unbelievable above the hall!

His majesty asked in a deep voice, "what is the area that needs to be burned?"

Old Qiu Ge said, "half of the Huangnan road."

"Hiss..."

Your majesty took a breath, gritted his teeth and said, "half of the Huangnan road? Although there are nine roads in my world, only three roads in the Huangnan, Huangbei, Jianghuai account for half of the country\'s grain output. Do you want to lose half of the Huangnan road? How many people will be hungry this year?"

Old Qiu Ge said, "as long as the imperial court opens its warehouses and releases grain, and the major families contribute some of the accumulated grain, they can always survive this difficulty."

"Oh!"

Master Zhao said coldly, "it\'s true that you have surplus grain in your hometown of Qiuge, but we Qingshui officials don\'t store much grain at home. Open the warehouse to release grain? You don\'t ask the people of the Ministry of household whether there is so much grain in the Treasury! Once you touch the skin of your mouth, you can make 10000 stone grain out of thin air? You deserve to be an old Qiuge!"

Old Qiu Ge whispered, "I know it\'s difficult, but it\'s easier than the plague of locusts. I said that if you want to prevent the plague of locusts, you can\'t pay a price. The price of breaking your arm is always better than going through another suffering all over the country!"

This time, he finally paid attention to master Zhao.

Master Zhao sneered and said, "first of all, whether the locust disaster will come or not, whether those eggs are ubiquitous insects or locusts, the burning of Huangnan road alone is a man-made disaster! What should the people do? What should they do for half a road and millions of households? What should they do if they are forced against?"

Old Qiu Ge said, "the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Naturally, the people are puzzled by our upper level policies. If they affect themselves, they will take risks and do anything against the law, but... These are the prices that can be paid! If you want to control the locust disaster, how can you do it without paying any price?"

Zhao Taishi changed the subject, which was quite reasonable. Qiu Ge argued and was very persuasive.

The two men argued like this.

The result of the dispute is often "reconsideration".

After all, there is still some time.

Even if most things in the world are bad because of procrastination!

They argued for too long without a result.

And set fire to burn half of the Huangnan road. In fact, your majesty wants to avoid it.

He sighed and said, "at this time, let\'s put it aside. If any Aiqing has a good way, he might as well put it forward and explain it at any time!"

Enter the palace at any time?

The officials below were surprised.

In fact, there are quite a large number of officials in the state of Qin, but not many of them can meet the saints. Except for those talented people who have excellent comments, they are almost so many people present.

And these people do not mean that they can see your majesty at any time.

They all took a look at this meeting.

All officials want to have a good relationship with your majesty. After all, your majesty is the one sentence that can change the existence of a person\'s life!

And facing the saint alone is of great significance.

This is an opportunity.

But they can\'t think of any way to control the locust plague. It seems that... After going back, they should find some capable people to see if they can find a suitable way.

His majesty continued, "now let\'s move on to the next topic, which all Aiqing are waiting for?"

Naturally, everyone is waiting.

In fact, the most important content today is evaluation!

As for the plague of locusts?

After all, it hasn\'t happened, and it may not really happen.

And the evaluation is right in front of you.

For a moment, everyone\'s eyes were locked on several large and medium-sized people.

They didn\'t sell off. They arranged their generations according to their assets. First, the imperial Fu took out a scroll from his arms, spread it out, and read it carefully from top to bottom.

A name, a comment.

It\'s that simple. It\'s only 20 words.

Then set a person\'s life!

After reading the names of the thirty-six young people, the comments of each were extremely fair. Many of them were the children of Baiguan\'s family. When they heard the answer, they were relieved.

There is neither too high nor too low, which are within the range that can be accepted by their hearts.

It\'s not unexpected. For example, one of the guys named situ Ping\'an took the second grade evaluation!

You can be an official of four grades directly and reach the level of Saint in the upper hall!

But this name is unfamiliar to everyone.

Second grade, although there is still one product on the head, it is actually the ultimate evaluation.

The highest, that is, second grade.

Among these 36 people, there is only such a second grade.

It\'s really surprising to fall on a strange name.

As for why there is no one product.

Because a product is a "Saint product". Since saints can hardly enter the DPRK as officials, the so-called saints do not touch human fireworks, touch the secular world, recruit officialdom, and are not in the Jianghu.

The so-called transcendence.

Now that you are free from vulgarity, you can\'t do such common things as being an official.

Of course, the sage doesn\'t say that there is no benefit at all. For one thing, if you don\'t worship an official or kneel when you see an emperor, you can\'t carry chains for the crime of rebellion.

Status is naturally transcendent.

Unfortunately, they are all false names.

Without an official position, the respect of others is in vain.

Therefore, a product is also recognized as "waste".
