Chapter 218
When the ministers saw He Chao's departing back, they all sighed, and there was a faint anger on their faces.
They are all important ministers of the court,
It's so annoying to be so disdainful by He Chao!
Ying Zheng was also a little helpless, sighed and said:
"Hey, forget it, since the virtuous son-in-law doesn't want to say more, then let's go back first."
After speaking, Ying Zheng waved his hand to the ministers and left the Dingguo Marquis Mansion directly with them.
On the way back, Ying Zheng and the others had not yet pulled out of He Chao's words, and they still had a trance look on their faces.
He Chao said that he would let it rain after three days,
and refused to explain the reason, directly shocked him beyond measure, and was very puzzled.
For a while, countless thoughts popped up in Ying Zheng's mind,
But when he thought about it in the end, he was still confused.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si on the side and asked:
"Prime Minister, do you think Dingguo Hou can really let it rain after three days this time?"
Li Si shook his head directly, and said with a thick look of doubt on his face:
"Back to Your Majesty, our Great Qin can have today, all because of the Marquis of Dingguo,
Therefore, Weichen did not doubt the ability of the Marquis of Dingguo. "
"But what he said just now was so appalling that I really couldn't understand where his confidence was."
The other ministers who followed Ying Zheng,
They all nodded subconsciously, and they were all extremely curious about He Chao's statement.
After Ying Zheng listened, the whole person was even more entangled, and sighed and said:
"Well, let's wait for another three days, and after three days, the virtuous son-in-law will help us find out."
Hearing Yingzheng say this, the ministers didn't say anything more, and followed back in silence all the way.
......
After Yingzheng and them left, He Chao began to take action and prepare his own plan for artificial rainfall.
First of all, He Chao found an empty courtyard in the mansion,
Then the hot air balloon and rainfall materials were moved out of the warehouse.
Once all the materials are ready, the next thing to do is to assemble them.
Such a huge project of artificial rainfall,
If it was only He Chao who assembled it, he would not know how to be busy in the Year of the Monkey.
Therefore, He Chao immediately asked Erniu to find a hundred subordinates to come over.
When Yingzheng rewarded He Chao's mansion before, he also rewarded him with hundreds of servants.
He Chao asked Erniu to transfer a hundred strong people from inside to help him complete the task together.
After Erniu received the order, he quickly found a hundred subordinates to come over.
Soon, a hundred servants lined up in the courtyard, waiting in horror for He Chao's lecture.
He Chao's eyes froze, and he glanced at the servants majestically, and then said with a serious face:
"I'm going to bring you here, because I have a machine to do something important to you."
"This matter is related to people's livelihood and well-being and the autumn harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and there must be no mistakes."
"If this thing is done well, there will be a lot of rewards, if it is done badly, be careful of your heads."
When the subordinates heard that the matter that Hou Ye was going to hand over was so important, they immediately nodded tremblingly.
"I'm going to tell you the task now, and you must keep in mind what I say later..."
Next, He Chao patiently told the people about the process of artificial rainfall.
Then he personally instructed them to assemble the rainfall equipment and hot air balloons.
......
In the next few days, He Chao has been taking a group of subordinates to make up the matter of artificial rainfall.
During this period, he also simulated the rain scene and personally commanded the drill several times.
The next day, Ying Zheng summoned Li Si, Meng Tian and several other confidants and important ministers to come to the imperial study to discuss matters.
After all, the sweet potato potato is a big matter, and it is impossible for him to bet all his hopes on He Chao.
After arranging some livelihood measures to alleviate the drought, Yingzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't rejoice for long, and the performance of the ministers in the imperial study made him very angry.
Because when Ying Zheng was deliberating just now,
found that some important ministers did not seriously discuss matters at all, and repeatedly deserted.
Whenever he asked a question, the few ministers who had deserted became extremely perfunctory in answering the question.
When Yingzheng and Wang Ben finished dealing with another government affairs,
When I found that Wang Ben and Meng Tian were secretly whispering again,
Qin Shi Huang finally became a little angry, and asked directly unhappily:
"Wang Aiqing, Meng Aiqing, I have summoned you to come,
It's for you to deliberate, not for whispering. "
Wang Ben and Meng Tian heard that the two of them were directly named by Yingzheng, and immediately shrunk their necks.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the two of them being frightened, and asked in wonder:
"What were you talking about? I've been talking about it for hours. "
Meng Tian heard Ying Zheng's inquiry, coughed a few times,
After alleviating the embarrassment, he reported truthfully to Ying Zheng:
"Your Majesty, it's actually nothing, just now General Wang and I were arguing about the Marquis of Dingguo asking for rain."
Ying Zheng frowned and asked:
"Didn't the Marquis of Dingguo say yesterday that he would make it rain in three days? What else do you have to argue? "
As soon as Meng Tian wanted to speak, Wang Ben on the side glanced at him and snorted coldly:
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Dingguo Hou said about making it rain in three days is too unbelievable, and he must not be able to do it."
"However, General Meng is extremely confident in Dingguohou and thinks that he can do it."
"We have different ideas, so we can't help but argue just now."
After Ying Zheng listened, he finally understood the reason for their argument, and looked at Meng Tian again and asked:
"Meng Aiqing, why do you believe that Dingguo Hou can do it?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen blindly believes in Lord Hou,
Thinking back to what Hou Ye did to help Daqin before, isn't it divine and incredible? "
"This prayer for rain, though it is a great difficulty for us,
But for Hou Ye, it may not be a difficult thing. "
When Ying Zheng heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed directly:
"Haha, it turns out that the two of you are arguing over such a trivial matter, it's really funny."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng directly waved his hand and said:
"But you don't have to argue,
It's been a day since the Marquis of Dingguo agreed,
If Dingguohou is really sure, he should make a move now. "
"Why don't we go to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion now and see what kind of reputation he is doing."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When Meng Tian, Wang Ben and other important ministers heard this, they immediately agreed.
Seeing that the ministers all agreed to this suggestion, Ying Zheng took it directly to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.
At this time, He Chao was assembling the yard, directing a hundred of his subordinates to assemble artificial rainfall equipment.
After Ying Zheng came to the scene with several important ministers,
Seeing He Chao directing hundreds of subordinates to tinker with some bottles and cans, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
"Father-in-law, three days haven't come yet, why did you come over?"
Seeing Yingzheng and them coming, He Chao immediately greeted him with a smile.
