Chapter 178 The people take food as their heaven, the foundation of the country
Chaoge, Zhaixing Tower.
News from Xiqi: The List of Gods is about to be opened in 3 days.
Everyone in Chaoge City knew about it.
In the court, King Zhou was sitting in danger. His deep eyes glanced at the ministers and asked, "Your families, I believe the news from Xiqi has spread throughout our entire Chaoge City. Have you all heard of it? Do you have anything to say about this?"
Wen Zhong said the first person: "Report to the king, if the news is true, once the list of gods is opened, it will not be a good thing for our Shang Dynasty Chaoge. The king should send someone to stop it."
Bigan continued: "The opening of the Gods List cannot be stopped. Master Wen, let me tell you this, Jiang Ziya has a very good background. If you can hold the Gods List, this person is not simple."
"Is Jiang Ziya simple? I think Master Shen knows the best in his heart? Master Shen, then Jiang Ziya is your fellow senior brother?" Shang Rong asked.
Shen Gongbao, who did not want to participate in the discussion of this matter, had to leave the list: "Report to the king, Jiang Ziya is indeed a senior brother of my family, and this matter is not new. The list of gods held in Jiang Ziya's hand is the bias of Master Nuo. Humph, otherwise... how could it be held by him Jiang Ziya?"
"Forget it, I won't mention this matter. Master Shen Gong, you failed to ambush Jiang Ziya last time. Now, this hateful Jiang Ziya, because of this man's support, Xiqi followed the Lone King against each other. Not only did it establish a dynasty, but it also instigated the surrounding countries to cause trouble. This damn Jiang Ziya deserves to be punished!"
Xiqi has always been a thorn in King Zhou's heart. All the surrounding countries that are involved in interests with Xiqi are enemies of King Zhou, and I wish I could get rid of it.
"King, why don't you lead thousands of soldiers to take grenades and destroy this Xiqi thief." Su Hu asked for instructions.
"Haha... it's still General Su who understands the Lone King's mind, but... the gentleman doesn't recommend doing this."
King Zhou glanced at the ministers and said deeply: "Sir, if the Lone King destroyed their Xiqi now, it would definitely arouse the surrounding countries to unite against our Da Shang. In this way, we are not able to kill all the surrounding countries in one fell swoop. By that time, our Da Shang will definitely be attacked from front to back."
"Mr. also said that in order to eliminate a small Xiqi, it is necessary to openly become enemies of the countries in the world, which is not worth the loss, and the consequences are very serious."
"Ah! The Gu Wang only sighed that our great Shang and national military strength was not strong enough. Humph, one day, the Gu Wang Wang would personally lead the army to cut off the head of the hateful Xibo Marquis Jichang, destroy their Ji family in one fell swoop, and flatten their entire Xiqi."
King Zhou said these words fiercely, which made all the ministers in the palace tremble.
No jokes!
They all believe what the king said is the truth from the heart.
"King, we can destroy them now, but we cannot let them open the list of Gods so easily. In this muddy water, I will be willing to ask for my order to go to Xiqi and create some chaos for them. I will be very happy."
Huang Feihu then asked for instructions.
King Zhou's eyes sank: "Okay! The Lord of the Lonely King allows this. Let's do this, Master Shen, you will follow him together. After all, the host Jiang Ziya is your senior brother. He cannot stop the opening of the Gods. It is okay for you to cause some trouble for them."
"I obey the order."
Hello, Jiang Ziya, he actually settled in Xiqi and found a position as a national teacher for himself?
Humph!
What a good senior brother. We will definitely meet each other in 3 days.
After handling the matter in the court, Gong Wei suddenly came to report that the people from the Ministry of Industry and Agricultural Sciences asked for the meeting with the king.
The rise of the Shang Dynasty and the vigorous cultivation of agriculture made them a great grain country, and the people of Shang Dynasty were no longer hungry.
Food is the most important thing for people, and water conservancy construction is the most important thing. King Zhou is willing to allocate money to money.
Now, I heard that there was a problem with the Ministry of Industry’s agriculture, but King Zhou couldn’t sit still and hurried to meet the person.
"King, big things are not good. This year's rice cultivation has encountered many troubles. First, it was hindered by the development of channels, and then now, pests are flying in groups in the sky, and are persecuting rice field merchants..."
"What? Is there a pest? This... When did this happen? Why did you report it now? King Zhou was immediately furious.
If the harvest is not achieved at the end of the year, things will be bad.
Although the national treasury grain reserves are enough for them to eat for a full year, it should be no problem.
But King Zhou had another plan to wait for the harvest of the grain and exchange this grain with them for weapons.
The Thousand Machine Crossbows that were continuously launched, the three-piece horse riding set, etc., were very important to their Da Shang merchants, and it was urgent to need them.
Three days later, the List of Gods is about to be launched. By then, all the heroes in the world will rise together. If their big merchants do not have enough ability to protect themselves, they will be annexed by the rising countries.
When a big fish eats a small fish, the strong will prey on the weak, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
How cruel this reality is.
When King Zhou heard that the farmer of the field had a pest, he immediately followed several heads of the Ministry of Works and hurried to the field.
laugh!
I didn't know when I saw it, but I was shocked.
The flying tricks were seen everywhere on the entire rice fields, and the vast locusts were quickly swallowing the rice fields.
And Dao Hui is about to emerge and grow.
Great!
If you swallow this, the losses will be difficult to estimate.
King Zhou was furious and kicked the heads of the Ministry of Works one by one from the rice fields, and was furious: "You... you have ruined the affairs of the Lone King. If the rice fields cannot be harvested this year, the Lone King will chop off your head."
"Good king..."
"Good luck, king..."
The dealer made a pest, which was a natural disaster, not a situation they thought could be controlled.
Facing those flying methods and tens of thousands of pests, they have no choice.
Solving locusts is an urgent task.
King Zhou, who was in a rage, had no time to continue talking to those people and immediately returned to the palace.
King Zhou immediately notified the ministers in the court to discuss matters.
The ministers in the court were summoned to the court shortly after they were held, and they were summoned again, and no one knew what had happened.
"Please be quiet, everyone, the Lone King has encountered a very difficult thing now. The dealer has caused pests, and tens of thousands of locusts are gnawing on the rice fields. You should quickly find a way to drive away those damn pests."
Food is the foundation of the country.
Are there pests in the rice fields? This is a big deal.
The ministers immediately started a heated discussion.
The ministers in the court all went through the era of famine, and hungry was not a good thing. They plucked the roots of trees, dug wild vegetables, and even had human-eating incidents... The memories in the depths were so unforgettable that they could not forget them.
The ministers who quarreled with each other made King Zhou even more upset.
Chapter completed!
