Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 211 No need to pay back

"Yes, it's more than that." Li Chengxiang continued: "Father, my son also heard that the person from Xianyang Palace made a private promise that within a month, he would be able to replenish the food in Xianyang warehouse and Berkshire. The voices of the officials."

"What? He said that? The news is reliable?" Li Qiao's expression finally changed.

"It's absolutely true!" Li Chengrui said with a serious expression, "The news came from the palace."

"Father, my son is also puzzled. I don't know where the confidence comes from. I can say this. Now the spring plowing has not started, and there are still several months before the autumn harvest. I really don't know what he thinks." .”

"When the promised time is up, if you can't get any food, let's see how he ends up!"

Li Qiao narrowed his eyes, but just listened quietly, did not express any opinion, but after Li Chengrui finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Has anything new happened in Xianyang City recently?"

"What's new?" Li Chengxiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded and said, "There is one more thing. It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently came up with a Chinese pinyin, saying that after learning it, he will be able to read and write."

"My son heard that Confucius and his granduncles in the Imperial College admired this Chinese pinyin very much, and said that he would let the students of the world respect the prince as a teacher!"

Li Chengxiang sneered and said, "I don't know what the two Imperial Supervisors are thinking, they even went to hold the crown prince's stinky feet. My son can tell that this must be the smoke screen released by the Xianyang Palace."

"Otherwise, with the personalities of those two from the Imperial College, how could they have done such a thing^"

"The Chinese pinyin, who of you know it?" Unexpectedly, Li Qiao suddenly interrupted his son's words.

"Hanyu Pinyin?" Li Chengxiang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The shopkeeper who came back from Xianyang knows, why don't I call him in now and let you ask?"

Li Qiao nodded, and Li Chengxiang immediately went to call the big shopkeeper over, and then the big shopkeeper carefully spelled out the Chinese pinyin and said it to Li Qiao seriously.

At first, when Li Qiao was listening, he seemed to be indifferent, closing his eyes and concentrating on drinking tea from the teacup. But at the end of the hearing, Li Qiao banged the teacup in his hand and threw it directly to the ground, causing everyone present to be upset. Senseless.

At this moment, Li Qiao couldn't hold back his airs anymore, his eyes were wide open, and he murmured: "What should I do? Is the prince's move really the prince's intention? This method..."

"If this goes on like this, our aristocratic families may soon be doomed in the future!"

After all, Li Qiao is the head of the family, and he is also a leader in the world. Therefore, when looking at a problem, he should not only look at it on the surface, but make a fuss from the inside.

Therefore, he could see at a glance that the impact of Hanyu Pinyin on the talents of the aristocratic family would be unprecedented!

Once the Hanyu Pinyin is fully promoted, the entire pattern of talents in the Great Qin Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the family's monopoly on education and talents will be completely broken.

It was also because of this that after Li Qiao understood what Hanyu Pinyin was, he panicked.

Li Chengxiang and Li Chengrui had never seen their father so flustered, and suddenly they were a little flustered too.

But they really don't understand. It's just a method of literacy in Chinese pinyin. As for making father so nervous?

When he heard the puzzling questions from his two sons, Li Qiao became furious in an instant, afraid of the case, "Confused, stupid, can't you see such an obvious thing? Our Li family, no, all the families in the world are afraid that they will..." We are facing unprecedented challenges..."

Hearing that his father was so 'alarmist', Li Chengxiang and Li Chengru looked at each other and became even more confused.

In Xianyang City, inside the imperial palace, and in the imperial study, Li Si was reporting the latest situation of the victims in the three counties to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, in the more than [-] days since the opening of the warehouse for relief, the price of grain in the three counties has returned to the previous level. The relief grain transported from Bajun has arrived in Shujun and Hanzhong County. At this time, the price of grain has dropped significantly. "

"But now the Xianyang granary has been emptied, and Berkshire's granary is almost empty. If there is any major event in the future, I'm afraid it will be..."

When Li Si said this, he didn't continue, because Feng Quji had already cut off his words, "Your Majesty, the spring plowing has not yet started, and this year's autumn harvest will definitely be affected. Even if there are places where potatoes have started to be planted, they are not the staple food after all. !"

Now Daqin has begun to accept potatoes, but it does not mean that everyone can accept potatoes as a staple food, so Daqin's left and right ministers are worried, fearing that another disaster will happen and the world will be in chaos!

Ying Zheng had a calm expression on his face, "Don't worry, everyone. Since I said that I will make up the treasury within a month, I will naturally keep my word. Now that the time limit has not yet come, why are you so flustered?"

Hearing Ying Zheng mentioned this issue, Feng Quji became even more anxious, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to be joking. Daqin has no food. If you say that, you will make a joke!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, once people in the world know that His Majesty has broken his promise, it will be..." Li Si was also persuading Ying Zheng, but at this moment, an urgent report came from outside.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, General Qiang Yan and Yang Duanhe have led their troops outside the city to wait for orders!" Zhang Han personally reported.

"Okay!" When Ying Zheng saw Zhang Han's eyes, he suddenly became determined. He stood tall, laughed at Li Si and Feng Quji and said, "Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right, I can cash it in for you now. Let's go. Please follow me first to welcome the two generals back to court."

"Qiang Lu and Yang Duan and the class teacher are still in court?" Ying Zheng's words made Li Si and Feng Quji Zhang puzzled.

Ying Zheng smiled without saying a word, led the officials outside, got in the car and drove straight out of the city.

Ten miles away from the city, there was a lot of people's voices, Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe were directing their officers, soldiers and civilian husbands to transport countless grains towards the gate of the city.

When Ying Zheng and the others came, they happened to see this scene.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty!" Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe saw Ying Zheng, and immediately stepped forward to meet him.

"Two generals, please get up quickly!" Ying Zheng got off the car himself and helped the two Daqin generals, "It's been hard work going to Yelang. When everything is over, I will definitely reward you for your merits!"

Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe were overjoyed after hearing this, while Feng Quji and Li Si's eyes widened when they heard Ying Zheng's words.

"What? Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe went to Yelang, where did they go?"

"There are so many carriages here, what are they loaded with? Why are they all so full? What are they doing?"

Hearing Feng Quji and Li Si's doubts, Qiang Li grinned and said with a big grin: "Left minister, right minister, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Lao Yang and I went to Yelang to borrow food, and we borrowed all of these." The food that came, and there is no need to pay back!"
