After the Pengcheng Conference, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were depressed.

Under the instigation of the lobbyist spies sent by Hu Hai, the two sergeant groups of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had several head-on conflicts.

Because Xiang Yu had the support of the people of Chu as his backing, and Liu Bang was just a turtle man from the world. Their strengths were still very different.

In the end, under Xiang Yu's relentless pursuit, Liu Bang and others were forced to surrender.

King Jing Ju of Chu was also "invited" to Pengcheng by Xiang Yu, and then died of sudden illness.

The battle between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang gave room for development of all the rebellious forces.

The war between Liu Xiang lasted for three months. In these three months, descendants of the other five countries were tangled in power and rose strongly. Especially Zhao State, who learned from the pain, and under the re-arrangement of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, invited Bai Ba back, rectified the horses, and tried to launch an attack on the Qin Dynasty again.

Zhao State has the greatest hatred for the Qin Dynasty.

In the Battle of Changping, almost all the men in Zhao State were lost. This kind of hatred cannot be easily diluted by time.

In the counselor's mansion, Meng Tian and others sat in their own places to review various memorials, and people kept walking back and forth around to help them.

Meng Yi, who was responsible for the logistics of the entire Qin Dynasty, frowned at this moment, looking at the memorial in front of him.

This memorial was jointly written by several county magistrates, and the contents were about spring farming production.

It is early spring now, and according to common sense, it should be the season for farming. However, due to constant wars in various places, farmers have no way to farm, and refugees are everywhere. The refugees formed by such large-scale refugee migration are like rootless duckweed, and it is difficult to stabilize the place in another place. There is no fixed land.

Most of the land is in the hands of the big landlords and clans. They are unwilling to farm on their own, nor are they willing to farm the land for the refugees to freely farm.

"Master, food is the foundation of the country. If you miss the farming season, you will have a year of famine. If these problems cannot be properly solved, I am worried that our front army will be unstable and the people in the rear will be hungry. This is the biggest crisis of the Qin Dynasty." Meng Yi said briefly what he knew.

Hu Hai nodded. After so long together, he had already understood Meng Yi's character.

Meng Yi has his own decisive ability and will not easily reach the heavenly listening for ordinary things. Once he talks to the emperor seriously, it must be that he has already figured out a solution.

Therefore, after hearing Meng Yi's words, Hu Hai did not show much anxiety, but looked at Meng Yi's bright eyes with a smile.

Sure enough, Meng Yi hugged and said, "For this matter, I and several colleagues from subordinates have discussed a simple countermeasure and asked the emperor to decide."

Hu Hai nodded, and Meng Yi said: "I have a bold idea, which is to call on the big landlords from all over the world to directly accommodate refugees. Every place, every landlord and aristocratic family, every refugee, and every landlord and aristocratic family, will not collect taxes. This method stimulates the big landlords and aristocratic families to take the initiative to accept refugees and refugees."

Nodded, Hu Hai had no comment.

"I have an idea under the inspiration of Duke Meng." Liu Mo, who was standing up on the side, bowed his hand.

Since he entered the Counselor's Mansion, his status has soared. He has gone from a young scholar from the Imperial Academy to jump into the dragon gate and become a celebrity around Qin Ershi.

In the current Xianyang officialdom, many people want to curry favor with Liu Mo.

Helplessly, Liu Mo had the arrogance of a literati in his bones, and he only wanted to do his best to show the emperor and the people of the world.

During this period, Liu Mo's temperament changed dramatically in the Counselor's Mansion.

He was already handsome and seemed more energetic at this moment, with his eyes as dark as a tiny bit of ink.

Hu Hai looked at Liu Mo, and was happy from the bottom of his heart, and nodded to him with encouragement.

Seeing the emperor's approval, Liu Mo cleared his throat and said, "Meng Gong's method is already very good to stimulate the family members to shelter refugees. I just thought of a law of association from this. If the local women can intermarry with refugees, these refugees will take root and stabilize. When the people are stable, the country will naturally become stable. After all, no one is willing to fight except those restless remnants of the six countries."

Liu Mo's words aroused everyone's interest, and several ministers from the Counselor's Office participated in this discussion.

Hu Hai also expressed his thoughts: "I think there are two urgent tasks now. One is to work in agriculture, and the other is to fight for military struggle. In terms of military struggle, Liu Xianggang had to rest after the war, and the remnants of the six countries were revived, but it was not enough to cause trouble in a short period of time. Therefore, except for General Meng Tian, ​​our counselor's office, everyone still focused on people's livelihood and solved the major issue of agriculture."

As he said that, Hu Hai looked at Li Si and smiled and said, "In this case, the Prime Minister will have to worry more. Although you have to participate in agriculture, you cannot stop in terms of intelligence. Let Liu Mo participate in this matter. He is a newcomer, and you will learn from you."

Li Si quickly got up, his face was still as he was carved with a knife and axe. He clasped his fists to Hu Hai and said, "With Counselor Liu coming to help, the old minister would be better."

Liu Mo smiled and bowed to Li Si, saying that he had thanked Li Si.

"I think that since I want to stimulate the clans to shelter refugees, it is better to have a bigger amplitude. Meng Yi, tell me about the situation of the treasury." Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a glimmer. Although he was facing the troubled Qin, he was full of confidence.

Meng Yi nodded and took out a bag made of deer skin from behind. He opened the bag and took out a brand new, thick white paper from it.

I saw him turn the white paper casually and start the introduction page by page.

The entire book is a detailed description of all the income and expenditure of the treasury.

Before Hu Hai came, there was no paper at all. All the accounts were either written on bamboo slips or on silk. It can be seen that Meng Yi was so meticulous. After he was in charge of logistics, he actually made a treasury account book by himself and carried it with him.

When the ministers saw Meng Yi's appearance, they thought the deer-skin bag was ridiculous, but also felt a little respect in their hearts.

"Originally, the treasury account was not enough. But since the emperor decided to stop building the Mausoleum of Mount Li and Afang Palace, the money saved was too short, but if you allocate a little to agriculture, it would still be fine. I am just worried that the problem would not be solved." Meng Yi gritted his teeth and continued: "If not, in this way, officials at all levels would be required to donate their salaries to the country, so that they might be able to overcome the difficulties."

The word "donation of salary" circled around Hu Hai's mind, and was decisively removed by him.

Now it is a situation where everyone is pushing the wall. If the food, salary and salary of the officials under his command are deducted, they will really destroy the country.

Hu Hai did not blame Meng Yi. This old minister was stunned for money and measured everyone with his loyalty. Meng Yi was willing to pay, but other officials may not have thought this way.
