The deaths of Xiong Xin, Chen Sheng and others did not cause any waves.

The only purpose is to deter those clan tyrants with ulterior motives.

The disaster in Changsha County was much more serious than that in Lujiang County.

After Feng Quji arrived in Changsha County, he promulgated corresponding laws as soon as possible.

During critical periods, hoarding of food and raising prices without authorization are prohibited, and offenders will be cut in half.

Later, just like Lujiang County, monuments of merit and bad virtue were erected in various cities in Changsha County.

Under tremendous pressure, the local clan gentry had to hand over the grain.

The disaster was finally alleviated.

At the same time, merchants from all over the country donated money, food, daily necessities, etc.

They were also transported by the Jin Yiwei one after another and then distributed to the people.

Wang Li even brought 100,000 new soldiers with him, working day and night to clear roads and build temporary residences.

The people in the two counties who were already in despair saw hope after receiving help.

I am even more grateful to Brother Zheng and Yingyu.

It's just that this time the disaster is more serious than imagined.

These are not enough!

...

In Xianyang City, Brother Zheng looked at the report in his hand with a complicated mood.

The businessman who was originally despised by them actually donated 10 million yuan during this flood, and the food amount was as high as 2 million dan.

Since ancient times, people's understanding of merchants has always valued profits over righteousness.

But no one thought that they could contribute such a huge force when the people were in crisis.

You know, these money and food are all donated free of charge.

Compared with these merchants, the clan lords are nothing.

"I didn't expect that the merchants of our Great Qin Dynasty would be so aware of righteousness. Such merchants can be called merchants of benevolence and righteousness!"

"Your Majesty, I recommend a heavy reward!"

"Mr. Meng Shang is right. Such a righteous deed should indeed be rewarded!"

Everyone nodded, and their views on merchants had changed a lot.

At the same time, we also saw the power of these merchants.

The materials and food donated by these merchants were no less than those of the clan gentry.

This is a force that cannot be underestimated.

The most important thing is that this power can be easily controlled by the court.

In this regard, Brother Zheng will certainly not be stingy with rewards.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, at the call of the crown prince, the people of the surrounding counties of Xianyang, plus the people of Hanzhong County, also donated nearly half a million dan of food!"

Nei Shiteng spoke in a trembling voice and reported a piece of news that shocked both the government and the public.

At this time, all the officials in Qilin Hall were stunned.

No one thought that people would donate food.

The people of Da Qin are not wealthy to begin with, so after donating these five hundred thousand shi of food, it is estimated that they will have to cut back on food and clothing in the second half of the year.

"I am so ashamed of the people!"

After a moment of silence, Brother Zheng sighed with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is a great joy."

"Such a popular sentiment has never been seen in ancient times. This fully shows how wise your Majesty is in the hearts of the people."

No one expected that a flood could actually unite the people of the Qin Dynasty to an unprecedented level.

"Humph, instead of talking about these nice things, let's talk about something practical!"

There are upright officials who make sarcastic remarks.

"What's practical? Could it be that I'm wrong? Have you ever seen any dynasty or generation of people who would take the initiative to donate food?"

"Your Majesty, I have some surplus food at home, and I would like to donate a thousand stones of corn!"

When the voice sounded, all the officials immediately looked at Liu Ji.

Because it was Liu Ji, the admonishing doctor, who just said that he would donate food!

The common people have donated food, how can officials like them escape?

Everyone understands this truth, but they keep silent about it.

Only Liu Ji went against the grain and took the initiative to donate food.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate ten thousand shi of food."

Dun gave Liu Ji a weak look, then immediately offered to donate food.

When all the officials saw this, they suddenly understood and spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate five thousand shi of food."

"Your Majesty, I will donate seven thousand."

Regardless of whether they were willing or unwilling, all the officials in the Qilin Palace expressed their opinions.

But Ying Yu did an even better job and asked Liu Mo to record it on the spot.

"Your Majesty, the Meng family is willing to donate 100,000 dan in food and 100,000 dan in money!"

Meng Yi said a number expressionlessly.

Although the Meng family was one of the top nobles in the Qin Dynasty, they had spent a lot of money by spending 100,000 shi of food and 100,000 coins at once.

After Meng Yi expressed his stance, everyone turned their attention to Wang Jian.

"What are you looking at? Are you a petty person?"

"Your Majesty, I donated 100,000 dan of food and 5 million yuan of money!"

Wang Jian loudly said a number, causing everyone to burst into uproar.

Five million dollars!

Everyone knew that the Wang family was rich, but they didn't expect to be so rich.

It seems that the Wang family has made a lot of money following the prince.

"Okay, with all of you such arrogant ministers, why should I, the Qin Dynasty, worry about not being prosperous?"

Brother Zheng looked excited and shouted loudly, no matter what the reason was.

It is a joyful thing for the courtiers to work together and take the initiative to donate food and money.

At the same time, the eyes looking at Ying Yu were also filled with relief.

This kind of sharing the same situation and taking the initiative to donate food and money was brought up by Ying Yu.

Although Ying Yu did not donate money or food, in terms of contribution, no one present could compare with him.

A natural disaster that could have seriously injured Da Qin was easily solved by Ying Yu using various incredible methods.

It even united the people's hearts and united the courtiers, nobles, merchants and ordinary people.

This is simply incredible.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver such a large amount of food to Changsha and Lujiang counties for a while!"

Meng Yi frowned slightly and reminded him.

"There is no need to worry, Sir Meng Shang. During this period, the Royal Trading Company has built thousands of carriages and they are ready to go at any time."

"His Royal Highness is still thoughtful!"

Meng Yi heard this and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, everyone should perform your duties. After the floods stabilize, I will definitely reward all those who have contributed greatly!"

At this moment, Brother Zheng was in an extremely excited mood.

In the past, when faced with such a huge disaster, he was always at a loss and suffered from headaches.

But things are different now.

At this time, Brother Zheng actually felt a sense of joy of victory.

In Brother Zheng's opinion, this flood not only brought no losses to Daqin.

It even made Da Qin more united and stronger.

Da Qin has conquered this flood.

From then on, no matter any disaster, it could not bring down the Qin Dynasty, let alone the Qin people.

They can only make the people of Qin stronger and the Qin Dynasty more united.

A mere natural disaster, nothing special.

Da Qin could not only conquer the world, but also conquer heaven.

At this time, Brother Zheng clenched his fists tightly, swelling to the point where they were edgeless.
