Jiangnan is a land of plenty and has always been prosperous. The annual grain, grass and taxes account for 60% of the Great Qin treasury. It can be said that Jiangnan feeds most of the people of Great Qin. Without the rich land of Jiangnan, the country and people of Great Qin would not be as rich and strong as it is now.
Except for the people in Feng Yao's hands, the food and grass everywhere are enough to last for half a year until the autumn harvest. It is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has done a good job, but...
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. After he realized that something was wrong, he immediately went to raise grain, and even used his own connections to forcefully buy a batch of grain from a grain merchant to fill the hole.
What's even more disgusting is that after Jing Yan took away the food and grass, he flooded the south of the Yangtze River. Now the imperial court is not only unable to collect grain from the south of the Yangtze River, but also has to pull grain and grass to provide disaster relief.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also afraid at first that the food delivered by Jiangnan was getting less and less, and that Daqin would not have enough food. However, in the same year, officials from Jiangnan wrote a brochure, saying that thousands of acres of new land had been opened and a batch of land had been reserved. If you sow grain, you will be able to produce twice as much grain next year.
God knows, since the new emperor came to the throne, he has been worrying about food, for fear that the new emperor would find out about the matter, and he would be in trouble.
The Minister of Household Affairs once mentioned something to the Supreme Emperor, briefly explaining the reason why Jiangnan used silver to pay for grain. After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor didn't take it to heart. The food in Da Qin was enough for them, but it was less than half a percent and one percent less. The impact of the harvested grain is not big.
But it was precisely because of the prosperity in Jiangnan that Jing Yan set his sights on that piece of land. Jiangnan's tax revenue has dropped in the past few years, but it's not obvious, and Jiangnan also gave a normal reason - natural disasters.
Their prediction was correct. There was indeed a good harvest in Jiangnan, and the grain was more than double that of previous years. However, that batch of grain did not enter the Great Qin treasury, but was snatched away by Jing Yan.
In order to close the food gap, he has been dealing with grain merchants a lot during this time, trying to buy grain from them, even if the price is higher, it doesn't matter, but... little effect has been achieved.

Finally, after painstaking efforts, the food shortage loophole was temporarily closed, and then Feng Yao came to defect with his army.
The Supreme Emperor, who was still the emperor at the time, sent people to investigate and found out that the drop in tax revenue was indeed a natural disaster rather than man-made, and the matter was revealed. Besides, the food delivered by Jiangnan was less, but the tax money was more. In the past few years, Daqin was not short of food but short of money. The emperor was very happy to receive more tax money, and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were also happy.
Could it be that Xihu won’t fight

It can be said that Jiangnan feeds most of the people of Great Qin. Without the rich land of Jiangnan, the country and people of Great Qin would not be as rich and strong as it is now.
If the group of people brought by Feng Yao hadn't come over, he would have held on and forced a few grain merchants to pay some blood. Maybe tomorrow, when Jiangnan's harvest is good, this matter would have passed quietly, and he wouldn't even have let it go. The emperor knows it, but what about now
In order to close the food gap, he has been dealing with grain merchants a lot during this time, trying to buy grain from them, even if the price is higher, it doesn't matter, but... little effect has been achieved.
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. After he realized that something was wrong, he immediately went to raise grain, and even used his own connections to forcefully buy a batch of grain from a grain merchant to fill the hole.
Qin Jiyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent so quickly that even the officials below didn't notice it.
Since this precedent was set, Jiangnan did not pay much food and grass in the next two years, but paid more and more tax money. In addition, the local officials in Jiangnan were generous and took care of all the officials in the capital. After receiving the benefits, many officials spoke for Jiangnan and covered up the matter.

"Where are the pre-stored grains? Not even one grain? What if there is a natural or man-made disaster and the harvest is not good this autumn, or the Jiangnan area fails to be harvested in a short time?" After the flood, it will take time to rebuild Jiangnan, and it will not take three to five years to fully recover. Less than the original harvest.
The Minister of Household Affairs once mentioned something to the Supreme Emperor, briefly explaining the reason why Jiangnan used silver to pay for grain. After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor didn't take it to heart. The food in Da Qin was enough for them, but it was less than half a percent and one percent less. The impact of the harvested grain is not big.
Qin Jiyan knew what happened next. After all, the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River and the allocation of food for disaster relief all happened in Qin Jiyan's hands. But Qin Jiyan didn't know anything about Jiangnan's use of silver to replace grain in the past two years.
Doesn't he dare to hide it
A few years ago, Da Qin's money was embezzled by several princes, so that the national treasury had no money and could not even support a war. But now, Da Qin's food has been robbed by a so-called orthodox royal bloodline, and it is also unable to sustain a war.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also afraid at first that the food delivered by Jiangnan was getting less and less, and that Daqin would not have enough food. However, in the same year, officials from Jiangnan wrote a brochure, saying that thousands of acres of new land had been opened and a batch of land had been reserved.

Feng Shoufu knew something about Jiangnan, but he didn't know that the matter had become so serious. Although he is the chief assistant, he cannot do everything himself. He has to deal with too many things every day, and unimportant matters cannot be sent to him at all. The people below have joined forces to deceive the superiors and conceal this from him. Being the first assistant is really not a difficult task.

If there is no shortage of food, Feng Shoufu will naturally not interfere with this matter. But if you ask, how can you know that the Qin Dynasty is so short of food that it cannot even support an army of hundreds of thousands.
In other words, Da Qin may have to eat a lot of food within three to five years, and they have to be careful not to have any accidents, otherwise people will starve to death...

In addition, the local officials in Jiangnan were generous and took care of all the officials in the capital. After receiving the benefits, many officials spoke for Jiangnan and covered up the matter.
The Minister of Hubu rambled on for a long time, and after finishing speaking, he knelt down and waited for Qin Jiyan to speak, but after waiting for a long time, Qin Jiyan didn't speak. The Minister of Hubu couldn't help but be afraid, and raised his head tremblingly, not daring to Long Yan, who looked directly at Qin Jiyan, only called out weakly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." No matter if it was life or death, holding back and not speaking would really drive people crazy.
"When I return to the Holy Spirit, all the grain and grass for the Jiangnan disaster relief have been pulled out. According to the quantity Master Jiao asked for, it is only a lot more. The grain and grass requested by the Ministry of War have also been prepared, which is enough for the army for half a year to last until the autumn harvest. When Jiangnan recovers and the grain and grass are collected, we can continue to maintain the original operation." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance looked broken, and his voice trembled.
After confirming that this matter was true, the officials in the capital felt at ease and did not take Jiangnan Shao's behavior of handing over food seriously. In the second year, the land in Jiangnan was indeed opened up, and a lot of grain was grown. At that time, everyone in the court thought that Jiangnan would definitely have a good harvest in the second year, but...

Jiangnan is flooded, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin Dynasty is short of food, and food will become increasingly scarce. As long as the grain merchants hold on for another month or two, the price of food will skyrocket. If they sell now, they will be stupid.

"You guys are very good..." Qin Jiyan looked at the officials below coldly and tapped his fingers on the table. The sound was not loud, but it frightened the people present.
But... Qin Jiyan could understand why the people in the Ministry of Hubu didn't tell him about it at first, but after he ascended the throne, the Minister of Hubu still concealed the matter and didn't tell him about it. It was really an unforgivable crime!

Da Qin has never been short of food. Although there was a flood in Jiangnan, Feng Shoufu never thought that Da Qin's granary was out of food. After all, every time Jiangnan asked for food, the Minister of Household Affairs gave it to him happily. When the Ministry of War asked for food, the Minister of Household Affairs also gave it happily, and there was no sign of food shortage at all.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles. "Plop..." All the officials present, including Feng Shoufu, couldn't sit still and all knelt on the ground. Feng Shoufu said with a face of shame: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."

Jiangnan is flooded, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin Dynasty is short of food, and food will become increasingly scarce. As long as the grain merchants hold on for another month or two, the price of food will skyrocket. If they sell now, they will be stupid.
"Where are the pre-stored grains? Not even one grain? What if there is a natural or man-made disaster and the harvest is not good this autumn, or the Jiangnan area fails to be harvested in a short time?" After the flood, it will take time to rebuild Jiangnan, and it will not take three to five years to fully recover. Less than the original harvest.
In order to close the food gap, he has been dealing with grain merchants a lot during this time, trying to buy grain from them, even if the price is higher, it doesn't matter, but... little effect has been achieved.
In other words, Da Qin may have to eat a lot of food within three to five years, and they have to be careful not to have any accidents, otherwise people will starve to death...
When he thought of this possibility, Qin Jiyan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
If there is no shortage of food, Feng Shoufu will naturally not interfere with this matter. But if you ask, how can you know that the Qin Dynasty is so short of food that it cannot even support an army of hundreds of thousands.
God knows, since the new emperor came to the throne, he has been worrying about food, for fear that the new emperor would find out about the matter, and he would be in trouble.
When he thought of this possibility, Qin Jiyan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
If the group of people brought by Feng Yao hadn't come over, he would have held on and forced a few grain merchants to pay some blood. Maybe tomorrow, when Jiangnan's harvest is good, this matter would have passed quietly, and he wouldn't even have let it go. The emperor knows it, but what about now
God knows, since the new emperor came to the throne, he has been worrying about food, for fear that the new emperor would find out about the matter, and he would be in trouble.
Qin Jiyan ignored Feng Shoufu and looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance again, "How much food is left?" He had to plan what he would do to tide over the current difficulties.
The Supreme Emperor, who was still the emperor at the time, sent people to investigate and found out that the drop in tax revenue was indeed a natural disaster rather than man-made, and the matter was revealed. Besides, the food delivered by Jiangnan was less, but the tax money was more. In the past few years, Daqin was not short of food but short of money. The emperor was very happy to receive more tax money, and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were also happy.
Except for the people in Feng Yao's hands, the food and grass everywhere are enough to last for half a year until the autumn harvest. It is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has done a good job, but...
Jiangnan is a land of plenty and has always been prosperous. The annual grain, grass and taxes account for 60% of the Great Qin treasury. It can be said that Jiangnan feeds most of the people of Great Qin. Without the rich land of Jiangnan, the country and people of Great Qin would not be as rich and strong as it is now.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles. "Plop..." All the officials present, including Feng Shoufu, couldn't sit still and all knelt on the ground. Feng Shoufu said with a face of shame: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also afraid at first that the food delivered by Jiangnan was getting less and less, and that Daqin would not have enough food. However, in the same year, officials from Jiangnan wrote a brochure, saying that thousands of acres of new land had been opened and a batch of land had been reserved. If you sow grain, you will be able to produce twice as much grain next year.
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs knew about these matters, but Qin Jiyan did not.
Da Qin has never been short of food. Although there was a flood in Jiangnan, Feng Shoufu never thought that Da Qin's granary was out of food. After all, every time Jiangnan asked for food, the Minister of Household Affairs gave it to him happily. When the Ministry of War asked for food, the Minister of Household Affairs also gave it happily, and there was no sign of food shortage at all.
Jiangnan is flooded, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin Dynasty is short of food, and food will become increasingly scarce. As long as the grain merchants hold on for another month or two, the price of food will skyrocket. If they sell now, they will be stupid.
"When I return to the Holy Spirit, all the grain and grass for the Jiangnan disaster relief have been pulled out. According to the quantity Master Jiao asked for, it is only a lot more. The grain and grass requested by the Ministry of War have also been prepared, which is enough for the army for half a year to last until the autumn harvest. When Jiangnan recovers and the grain and grass are collected, we can continue to maintain the original operation." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance looked broken, and his voice trembled.
God knows, since the new emperor came to the throne, he has been worrying about food, for fear that the new emperor would find out about the matter, and he would be in trouble.
Qin Jiyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent so quickly that even the officials below didn't notice it.
After confirming that this matter was true, the officials in the capital felt at ease and did not take Jiangnan Shao's behavior of handing over food seriously. In the second year, the land in Jiangnan was indeed opened up, and a lot of grain was grown. At that time, everyone in the court thought that Jiangnan would definitely have a good harvest in the second year, but...
In fact, it's not strange that Qin Jiyan didn't know about it. In the past few years, the six departments were all under the control of King Zhou, King Zhao and others. Qin Jiyan couldn't interfere at all, so it's normal that he didn't know.

Could it be that Xihu won’t fight
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. After he realized that something was wrong, he immediately went to raise grain, and even used his own connections to forcefully buy a batch of grain from a grain merchant to fill the hole.
The Minister of Household Affairs once mentioned something to the Supreme Emperor, briefly explaining the reason why Jiangnan used silver to pay for grain. After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor didn't take it to heart. The food in Da Qin was enough for them, but it was less than half a percent and one percent less. The impact of the harvested grain is not big.
But it was precisely because of the prosperity in Jiangnan that Jing Yan set his sights on that piece of land. Jiangnan's tax revenue has dropped in the past few years, but it's not obvious, and Jiangnan also gave a normal reason - natural disasters.
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs knew about these matters, but Qin Jiyan did not.
Feng Shoufu knew something about Jiangnan, but he didn't know that the matter had become so serious. Although he is the chief assistant, he cannot do everything himself. He has to deal with too many things every day, and unimportant matters cannot be sent to him at all. The people below have joined forces to deceive the superiors and conceal this from him. Being the first assistant is really not a difficult task.
Finally, after painstaking efforts, the food shortage loophole was temporarily closed, and then Feng Yao came to defect with his army.
What's even more disgusting is that after Jing Yan took away the food and grass, he flooded the south of the Yangtze River. Now the imperial court is not only unable to collect grain from the south of the Yangtze River, but also has to pull grain and grass to provide disaster relief.
If there is no shortage of food, Feng Shoufu will naturally not interfere with this matter. But if you ask, how can you know that the Qin Dynasty is so short of food that it cannot even support an army of hundreds of thousands.

He now only has one warehouse of food on hand, which is only enough to feed the imperial guards in the capital for half a year. Where can he turn the food and fodder for an army of 300,000 people into something

Doesn't he dare to hide it

Their prediction was correct. There was indeed a good harvest in Jiangnan, and the grain was more than double that of previous years. However, that batch of grain did not enter the Great Qin treasury, but was snatched away by Jing Yan.
He now only has one warehouse of food on hand, which is only enough to feed the imperial guards in the capital for half a year. Where can he turn the food and fodder for an army of 300,000 people into something

The Minister of Hubu rambled on for a long time, and after finishing speaking, he knelt down and waited for Qin Jiyan to speak, but after waiting for a long time, Qin Jiyan didn't speak. The Minister of Hubu couldn't help but be afraid, and raised his head tremblingly, not daring to Long Yan, who looked directly at Qin Jiyan, only called out weakly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." No matter if it was life or death, holding back and not speaking would really drive people crazy.
When Jiangnan used silver in lieu of grain, he took some filial piety back then, but the Emperor also agreed to this, so you really can't blame him.

Qin Jiyan knew what happened next. After all, the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River and the allocation of food for disaster relief all happened in Qin Jiyan's hands. But Qin Jiyan didn't know anything about Jiangnan's use of silver to replace grain in the past two years.
If the group of people brought by Feng Yao hadn't come over, he would have held on and forced a few grain merchants to pay some blood.

A few years ago, Da Qin's money was embezzled by several princes, so that the national treasury had no money and could not even support a war. But now, Da Qin's food has been robbed by a so-called orthodox royal bloodline, and it is also unable to sustain a war.
In fact, it's not strange that Qin Jiyan didn't know about it. In the past few years, the six departments were all under the control of King Zhou, King Zhao and others. Qin Jiyan couldn't interfere at all, so it's normal that he didn't know.
