Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

While thinking about it, Ying Zheng gave an order very quickly.

"promise."

Meng Yi was full of emotions in his heart, and he nodded honestly.

Li Si and the others looked gloomy and worried.

The first emperor ordered that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

They tried their best to stop them before, as if they had become grandstanding clowns, and their respective moods can be imagined.

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin has one more word."

Chen Qing spoke suddenly.

"Say!"

Ying Zheng's ambition was burning, and his tone was full of sonorous meaning.

"The little people are afraid that traitors will make trouble."

"Building waterwheels and windmills is originally a great thing that benefits the country and the people. But the people are ignorant, if they are incited by some people with ulterior motives, and mistakenly think that His Majesty is going to build a large-scale construction project and labor the people, wouldn't it be a good thing to turn into a bad thing? ?”

"For the great Qin's sake, and for His Majesty's sake, Xiaomin suggested to issue an imperial decree at the same time: After the mill is completed, the annual corvee service will be reduced by one day. The pounding punishment will be cancelled, so that female prisoners can do some light work to show His Majesty's grace."

Chen Qing lowered his head deeply.

He knew the consequences of doing so.

But he didn't say it, because with Fusu's temperament, he would definitely mention it.

That being the case, it's better to let yourself, a rebel, be the first bird.

Finally, he flapped his wings and let Fusu return to Xianyang to be the crown prince.

Chen Qing didn't want to see Fusu disobeying Qin Shihuang and being driven back to the Northland again, and the history of Daqin returning to its original state.

A majestic gaze fell on him.

Chen Qing had a feeling that Ying Zheng was staring at his own neck.

There are also many malicious eyes, wishing to tear him apart, it must be Li Si, Doctor Yushi and others.

"Father, my son thinks this strategy is very good."

Fusu stood up as expected.

If he hadn't contradicted the first emperor again and again for the sake of the people's livelihood, he wouldn't have been expelled to the north to serve as a supervisor of the army after a long delay in getting the crown prince as the eldest son.

"This minister thinks... Chen Qing's words are reasonable."

Meng Yi thought over and over again, and finally braved up to stand up.

The Meng family is a die-hard princeling. Now that Fusu has returned to Xianyang, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be crowned in the future.

Even if there is a grievance with Li Si and others, he must express his position.

Wang Jian was getting old, so he didn't come with him, otherwise he would definitely be the same as Meng Yi at this time.

"Chen Qing."

"The widow ordered you to assist Meng Qing in building this waterwheel and windmill."

"If it is true as you said, it will save tens of millions of people's power, and I will allow you to play it."

Ying Zheng weighed in his heart for a long time, and said in a slightly unwilling tone.

Of course Chen Qing knew what he was thinking.

It's nothing more than wanting to use the saved people's power to other places.

There are many places where Daqin lacks people!

The construction of the Great Wall, Efang Palace, Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Chidao, Zhidao, and Lingqu are all major projects that cost hundreds of thousands of people.

"Xiaomin thanked His Majesty."

Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Emperor Shi Huang didn't want to kill himself yet.

"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank my father and emperor."

Fusu followed immediately, bowing and saluting solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance."

"Caomin thank Your Majesty Long En."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

I don't know who took the lead, but the craftsmen and peasants who were watching fell to their knees like wind blowing wheat waves.

The sincerity of his words, as well as the pain and bitterness contained in them, moved Ying Zheng.

Li Si and the others were shocked, and for some reason they felt chilly all over.

An unknown fear came out of nowhere and made people shudder.

Zhao Chong grasped the hilt of the sword forcefully, and the knuckles had turned blue and white.

A sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "The power of the working people is infinite."

Although he couldn't figure out the reason behind it, he already felt the terrifying power.

"Fusu, follow me back to the palace."

"Zhao Chong, order people to watch the water mill. Send people to the palace to report the output every hour."

Qin Shihuang flicked his sleeves and walked quickly towards the imperial chariot.

Fusu paused, turned his head and saluted Chen Qing deeply.

"I don't know where Mr. Xianju lives?"

"Fu Su will definitely come to visit in the future."

Chen Qing smiled playfully: "Don't bother, I'll stay at your house."

???

Fusu raised his head in surprise and bewilderment.

"Huh."

Chen Qing shook his head: "Now I am still a traitor. His Majesty is afraid that I will run away, so he is detained in the palace. Speaking of which, we are still neighbors."

"Come to visit when you have time."

Chapter 28 Fusu's Admiration

Silent night.

The wide streets of Xianyang City were empty.

Only watchmen and patrolling soldiers are free from the curfew and patrol the empty streets carelessly.

Da da da.

A rush of horseshoes came from the gate of the city.

Under the light of the torches, the resolute faces of the messenger cavalry flickered, and they galloped towards Xianyang Palace on their fast horses.

Not only did the people along the street not feel noisy, but they were too excited to fall asleep.

That's the flying cavalry going to report to the palace!

The first emperor said that as long as the mill is repaired, Daqin can reduce corvees!

Although it was only one day less, this was an unprecedented first experience in the Great Qin Dynasty!

In recent years, with the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the Great Wall, Lingqu and other major projects, the burden on the people has become heavier and heavier.

Qin law stipulates that in addition to paying taxes, civilians have to bear one month of corvee every year.

It doesn't sound like much, but with the shortage of manpower, when it is actually implemented, it will face various layers of increase.

Nominally, it was a month of corvee, but some people even went for three or two years and never returned.

In addition, due to the strict laws of Qin, countless people were punished for various trivial matters.

Most of the 70 people who built Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum were "prisoners" of this kind.

Men will be punished for making mistakes, and women will not be spared either.

The "pounding punishment" mentioned by Chen Qing in his memorial is a common punishment for female criminals.

Before the invention of more advanced tools, the husking and processing of rice wheat has always been quite heavy labor.

Men should be treated like oxen and horses to build cities and repair the Great Wall.Women, on the other hand, are treated like men, carrying heavy stone pestles, pounding rice and grinding flour in the granary day and night.

The world only knows that Daqin started from a remote corner of the country, and finally went out of Hangu Pass to sweep the six countries, but few people can see the blood and tears of countless old Qin people behind them.

Of course, with the arrival of Chen Qing, this situation finally showed signs of loosening.

boom!

wow-

In the prime minister's mansion, the sound of something being thrown came from the study again.

Every time Li Si heard the cavalry passing by, he couldn't help but burst into anger.

Especially Chen Qing's words of 'ulterior motives' and 'treacherous people make trouble' were like two sharp knives piercing into his heart fiercely.

I have ulterior motives?

Am I a traitor?

You, Chen Qing, are the biggest traitor in Daqin!

Li Si couldn't figure it out no matter what, he and the first emperor had been supporting each other for more than [-] years, but they couldn't resist Chen Qing's few words to sow discord!

Is there any reason for this?

"If the old man doesn't get rid of this beast, he swears not to be a human being."

Li Si's face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.

-

Yichun Palace.

Before Fusu came back, the place had been cleaned up by the palace servants and maidservants.

The outside of the palace wall has been plunged into a quiet and solemn darkness, but the place is brightly lit and extremely lively.

"Brother Emperor!"

"Congratulations, brother, congratulations, brother!"

"Brother Huang, did you ever bring us a gift?"

"Brother Huang, I heard that there are many good horses in the Northland. Have you brought some horses back?"

Yingzheng has 23 sons and 10 daughters.

Together with their respective entourages and maids, there are more than a hundred people gathered in the garden, bustling like a busy city.

Fusu's biological mother, Concubine Zheng, was over forty years old, but she was well maintained and still charming.

She looked tenderly at her eldest son surrounded by younger brothers and sisters, and finally let go of the big stone that had been in her heart for many years.

This time she had to tell Fusu no matter what, never to offend the emperor again.

As long as he waits peacefully until he is enthroned and coronated, he can let go of his hands and feet to implement administrative orders according to his own intentions.

Fusu has a generous and loving personality, even if his ears hurt from being quarreled by a few younger siblings, he doesn't worry about it.

"Hey, where's Hu Hai?"

He glanced around, and suddenly found that Hu Hai, who was usually the favorite to cause trouble, was missing.

It stands to reason that he would never miss this occasion.

"Brother Huang, Hu Hai was grounded by his father."
