After the drought began, they had wantonly acquired the surplus grain in the hands of the common people. After the surplus grain was acquired, they competed with the grain merchants who hoarded grain at a low price. After they got the grain in their hands, it was the last step—wantonly raising grain prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who could live in Xinzheng still had some assets. Some people here could hardly afford grain, let alone the people in other parts of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the current world, grain production was very low. Although Han had many people, its territory was constantly shrinking because of years of war, and there was not much land available for cultivation. Coupled with years of war, in order to support the border army and for his own enjoyment, the successive Kings of Han constantly increased taxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The lowest-level people were barely hovering on the edge of survival. This time, after this severe drought and the grain crisis, someone finally could not survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Refugees were born, constantly pouring from the border of Han toward the capital of Han, Xinzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The entire Han, because of a small matter, finally continued to develop and evolve, and finally fell into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wusui border.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Yi commanded 100,000 troops. When he learned of what happened in Han, a cold smile appeared on his old face: \"The timing, it seems, has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This year, Nanyang was suffering from a severe drought, and Guanzhong in Qin was also in a state of severe drought. Logically speaking, it was not suitable to send troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he finally underestimated the means of this young Qin King. When the Qin King sent someone to send that letter to him, he was also shocked. Then, after thinking about it carefully, he found that this year was really an excellent opportunity to destroy Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, Han was the weakest country among the six countries in the east of the mountains. Coupled with Qin’s years of attacking and swallowing it, there was no natural danger to defend at the border between the two countries. If Qin raised a large army, it could easily enter Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, Han still had a considerable number of soldiers. If they were really forced into a corner, Han would also resist with all its strength. Although Wang Yi was confident that he could still destroy Han’s so-called army and then fight all the way to Han’s capital, Xinzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in this way, Qin itself would also have considerable losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, if Han was unable to supply the army because of the impact of the drought, leading to a lack of grain, then do not blame Qin for taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key to Qin’s sending troops to Han was to see how much impact this natural disaster and subsequent man-made disaster had on Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The natural disaster, which was not originally terrifying, evolved continuously with the subsequent man-made disaster, and actually forced Han into this appearance, becoming a scene of people living in misery and refugees everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of the rhetoric in the letter from the Qin King.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Yi could not help but say: \"The monarch and ministers of Han are unrighteous, causing the people of Han to live in misery. We, Qin, uphold benevolence and righteousness, cannot bear to see the common people suffer, and should send troops to save the common people of Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked at the several partial generals in front of him and said coldly: \"The army sets out, attack Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this battle, he swore to destroy Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because, as his age gradually increased, this battle was likely the last battle of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the Lord of Wu’an fought north and south back then and defeated the six countries, he ultimately did not complete the task of destroying the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He inherited the last wish of the Lord of Wu’an, and today, he swore to complete this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the Qin army, under the command of Wang Xuan Jian, officially pressed toward Han Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When the news reached the court in Xinzheng, the monarch and ministers of Han Guo were filled with fear and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Earlier, when the Qin army invaded the border, they had guessed that Qin might take advantage of the chaos to strike at Han Guo, but they had harbored a glimmer of hope. Furthermore, if Han Fei could borrow grain and supplies were sufficient, Han Guo might not be unable to fight Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in the end, the grain Han Fei borrowed was intercepted by bandits just as it was about to reach the border, and the Qin army seized the opportunity to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Crown Prince of Han Guo on the throne was filled with fear and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing the invading Qin army and the constant military reports from the front lines, he could only order the border troops to block the Qin advance while scrambling to collect grain to supply the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But at this moment, even though he was the Crown Prince of Han Guo—and in reality, already the King of Han—raising grain was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because of the earlier severe drought, much of the grain had already been used for disaster relief. As a result, not only was the disaster not alleviated, but the price of grain within the country had risen again and again. Even though Han Fei had purchased the grain from Wei Guo at a price lower than the market rate, it had still cost a significant amount of money, and yet, that batch of grain had been intercepted by bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the Crown Prince of Han Guo could only use money to purchase grain from domestic merchants. However, faced with such exorbitant prices, even using money to buy it was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a single cup of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, the border troops had to be supplied; Han Guo still relied on them to resist the Qin offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as he was at his wit's end, the Chancellor, Zhang Kaidi, offered a suggestion to the King of Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was, with the nation in peril, how could they allow those unscrupulous merchants to profit from the national disaster? At this time, they should forcibly seize the grain hoarded in their hands to first resolve this crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Crown Prince of Han Guo agreed wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Consequently, with a single order, countless grain merchants had their homes raided and their clans exterminated, and the grain they had hoarded was collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he did not notice that after he carried out this action, the expression on Ji Ji Yihu's face turned extremely gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 ········Seeking flowers···· ···\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","56eafc3000123a86555d9374cf13b9d3e0d9e0c73c1e0f33c2664958e29b9e81","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-146","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-144",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
