Chapter 232

Han Fei was learned and talented, and he knew what the Zheng Guoqu was. He introduced it to Zhang Liang, "This canal was built by the water engineer Zheng Guo, who was sent to the Qin Guo by King Huanhui of Han at the beginning of Seeing Ying Zheng's reign to consume the national strength of the Qin Guo. The matter of Zheng Guo exhausting the Qin Guo was once exposed, and the Qin Guo once held the State of Han accountable, but for some reason, the Qin Guo did not give up on building the Zheng Guoqu."

"This can only explain one thing, and that is that Zheng Guo betrayed the State of Han and chose to build the canal for the Qin Guo with all his heart and strength." Wei Zhuang said in a low voice, stating the cruel reality.

Han Fei then explained the truth about the Zheng Guoqu to everyone.

Upon learning that the Zheng Guoqu was a canal that had cost the Qin Guo a lot of manpower and material resources and had taken nearly ten years to build, and that after its completion, it could irrigate more than forty thousand hectares of saline-alkali land—

Everyone's expression became ugly.

Even without the drought this year, the completion of the Zheng Guoqu meant that if there were no drought in the Qin Guo next year, it would usher in a year of great harvest. With abundant grain and grass, Seeing Ying Zheng's ambition, and the many past misdeeds of the Qin Guo, they would definitely raise their swords and weapons, and the State of Han, bearing the brunt, would absolutely not be able to escape the chaos.

Han Fei and the others discussed for a long time in Zilan Pavilion, but they could not find a way to resolve this drought.

After all, in the current State of Han, there would be no Su Xuan to summon wind and rain.

And what made them even more anxious was that the price of grain had risen.

It was rising three times a day.

The drought continued, which would affect the autumn harvest. Coupled with the fact that last year's autumn harvest was not a good one, the grain inventory was not very large, so the grain price this year was already on the high side. Now that the grain price had risen again, it meant that those poor families would not be able to eat, leading to countless families being broken and becoming refugees.

"This is not a good thing!"

Han Fei muttered to himself.

He had thought that the rise in grain prices was only temporary, but as time passed, the grain prices not only failed to come down, but on the contrary, they were getting higher and higher.

Han Fei finally realized that behind the rise in grain prices, someone was secretly manipulating everything.

General's Mansion.

After Ji Wuye died, his son Ji Yihu inherited everything from Ji Wuye.

At this moment, Ji Yihu was smiling triumphantly because he had made a fortune from this drought.

"Master, good method!" He looked at the man in the straw raincoat before him and praised him secretly.
