His vision was high enough; standing on high ground and looking down, it was easy to discover the flaws below and then correct them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Water disasters have been the greatest threat to the Huaxia tribes since ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the terrifying legends of \"floods reaching the heavens, vast and covering the mountains and hills,\" to the Great Yu’s flood control in the ancient era, these stories have long remained in people’s memories. Even today, the landscape of the world remains humid, rainy, crisscrossed by rivers, with abundant water and lush forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the harm of floods was far greater than the disaster of water shortages. Only because of this did the world have the saying of \"beneficial water.\" Beneficial water refers to water that can be used. Since great rivers and vast lakes are endlessly vast and floods are frequent, those who plow and fish often face the disaster of being wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also because countries around the world only blindly guarded against floods and rarely faced droughts, once a drought actually occurred, they would appear at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xuan first appeared in Han, it was because Han had suffered a severe drought for several months without a single drop of rain. The King of Han, forced by necessity, had to issue a decree to summon capable people to pray for rain for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan used the technique of \"knowing the timing\" to predict in advance that heavy rain was coming, then accepted the King of Han’s reward, becoming a guest of honor for the King of Han, and his ability to summon wind and rain was praised by many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even though the drought in Han last year was alleviated due to subsequent heavy rains, the months of drought still affected Han’s harvest that year. Last year could not really be considered a harvest year; for Han, it was more like a year of misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the drought, there were also the sudden death of the King of Han and the assassination of Ji Ji Wuye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Crown Prince of Han took power, he could only rely on Chancellor Zhang Kaidi to stabilize the domestic situation. However, disaster did not seem to intend to let Han go. This year, spring was fine, but by summer, there was another series of severe droughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this drought was much larger in scale than last year’s, affecting not only Han but also Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in the past, Qin would certainly have been greatly affected, but the Zheng Zheng Guoqu in Qin was almost completed. As the Jing River was diverted into the vast fertile fields of Guanzhong, although this drought was fierce, the impact on Qin was not as great as imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Han was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last year’s drought had been barely survived by luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If another drought came today, it looked like the crops in the fields would all die in the severe drought, leading to a total loss of harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Han, this was an absolutely unacceptable thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han’s national strength was already weak; if there was another total crop failure, no one could guarantee what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in order to survive the drought, the Crown Prince of Han, who had not yet officially ascended the throne, urged the officials below to provide disaster relief while also trying to find ways to borrow grain to survive this drought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many changes in Han could hardly be hidden from neighboring Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng summoned Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, there is a severe drought in Nanyang, Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Su Xuan step into the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng could not help but share this news with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Han had been defeated repeatedly, and its territory had been swallowed by Qin. Nanyang was already considered the last piece of fertile land in Han. A severe drought in Nanyang meant that the entire Han would fall into a disaster of grain shortage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the Qin King summon me here just to tell me this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan asked Ying Zheng with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng explained: \"Of course, it is not just this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said slowly, \"As far as I know, last year, Han also experienced a drought lasting several months. In the end, it was thanks to your brilliant methods that you successfully summoned rain for the King of Han, An, thus resolving the drought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, he could not help but make a joke to Su Xuan: \"It is fortunate that the Zheng Zheng Guoqu is nearly completed and can be put into use, otherwise, this year’s severe drought in Guanzhong would also have to rely on your art of summoning wind and rain to bring rain to resolve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qin King flatters me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan replied indifferently, without explaining the truth about summoning wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng said again: \"This year’s drought will not have your intervention to help Han resolve it. Nanyang has always been the granary of Han. As expected, this year’s drought will lead to a total crop failure for the entire Han...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Qin King preparing to take action against Han?\" Su Xuan guessed Ying Zheng’s intention and asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng nodded and said: \"Originally, the Zheng Zheng Guoqu was only to be completed this year, and I intended to start the matter of destroying the country the year after next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But heaven has been kind, and Han is suffering from a severe drought. Such a good opportunity, I do not want to miss it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of a drought, countless people of Han have fallen into famine. Tell me, at this time, if Qin takes action to save those people of Han who have fallen into famine because of the drought, will they be grateful to Qin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng said indifferently, his tone suddenly turning cold: \"The monarch and ministers of Han are incompetent. Since they cannot resolve this drought, then do not blame Qin for stepping in to help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Ying Zheng’s words, Su Xuan mostly guessed the purpose of Ying Zheng summoning him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Su Xuan had discussed the world situation with Ying Zheng again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Su Xuan emphasized under what name they should destroy the six countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Su Xuan gave was to punish the unrighteous, execute the inhumane, and save the common people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack the nobles of the six countries and win the hearts of the lowest-level people of the six countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the lowest-level people of the six countries lived better than when the six countries were still in existence, then even if the nobles of the six countries wanted to conspire to rebel in the future, no one would respond to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final analysis, it was because the thoughts of the lowest-level people were simple and plain; they just wanted to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when they really could not survive would they think of rebelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding Han, perhaps I can help the Qin King!\" After figuring out Ying Zheng’s thoughts, Su Xuan said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Ji Ji Wuye is dead, the Night Curtain still exists. Emerald Tiger is gone, but after operating for many years, he possessed more than just those family assets. Although the assets were confiscated by the King of Han, his commercial network remained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I have come to Qin, I have not severed my relationship with the Night Curtain. Perhaps I can use the power of the Night Curtain to drive up the price of grain in Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng listened quietly to Su Xuan’s explanation and gradually understood what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The drought is a natural disaster, and the Night Curtain is a man-made disaster. Under the dual disasters, the people of Han will have no way to survive. If at this time, the Qin army attacks and provides them with food and kindness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the people of Han will become the most solid supporters of Qin! Even the hatred of destroying the country will not be as deep as imagined!\" Su Xuan finished the sentence for Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T04:29:29.394Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","29a5b78f4602e0c25a9dcfdf744bce1082717c46e274a464d3c2364f7158316f","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-140","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-138",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
