"Prince, it's time to get up. Today I have to inspect the construction of the Great Wall." Xiao Tao's sweet voice reached Fusu's ears, waking him up from his sleep.

It is already late autumn, and it has been more than three months since Fusu came to this world. But every time he wakes up, Fusu still feels like he is in his home or dormitory in the 21st century. Every time he wakes up, Fusu

He hoped that this was just his dream, but when he woke up, he knew that he was truly living in the Qin Dynasty.

Fusu stretched greatly, put aside the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I made an agreement with you yesterday that I will go with you when I go to inspect the Great Wall today. You should also prepare."

"Ah?" Xiao Tao was stunned, "Did I think you were joking yesterday? Today the prince went on official business, how could I go with him?"

"I'm also a prince, so how can I not keep my word? It's so-called golden words. Well, don't shirk it. Get ready to go with me now." Fusu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Seeing Fusu's persistence, Xiaotao no longer refused, and could only nodded and said: "Well, I hope this slave will not hinder the prince from doing business."

Seeing Xiao Tao's respectful look, Fusu felt deeply in his heart. If there was such an obedient girl by his side in modern society, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

After everything was ready, Fusu took hundreds of people and Xiaotao to the construction site of the Great Wall not far outside Shangjun City. Meng Tian did not accompany him this time. After all, he also had his own things to do.

It is impossible to always follow Fusu around. He is sitting in a carriage. There is a short table in the spacious carriage, with wine and food on it. Although it is not very rich, it is already a paradise for the current situation here. No

Speaking of the pro-army troops who were on their way outside, the civilians who were building the Great Wall not only did not have enough to eat for a day, but they might be crushed to death by boulders at any time. But Fusu had no way to do anything about this, although he sympathized with these people from the six eastern countries.

However, it was an order issued by the imperial court, which required them to build the Great Wall in the north to defend against the Huns' attack.

Fusu also talked to Meng Tian about why the Great Wall was built. Putting aside the imperial order, Fusu believed from a modern perspective that this was completely useless labor and that it was just using the lives of countless people to create a history.

It's just a miracle. But Meng Tian didn't see it that way. He analyzed the various benefits of building the Great Wall to Fusu: "First, the area south of the Great Wall has fertile land and is suitable for growing food, while most of the land to the north is barren and only

Being able to graze, this completely separates the nomadic tribes in the north from our Central Plains. After all, the people in our Central Plains are not suitable for living on the grasslands, and vice versa; secondly, the Huns always want to invade the Central Plains,

Looting property, food and people, we want to resist but are forced to guard the thousands-mile border. If we build the Great Wall on the border, the Huns will not be able to march straight in. We can also use beacons to remind the Huns of the location of their attack.

This prevents them from finding a defensive point when they attack one place and causing unnecessary losses; thirdly, for us, we can also find a support when fighting the Huns. The Great Wall can be used as a boundary to collect troops.

The fourth and most important point is that the emperor and ministers must summon all the strong men from the original six countries to build it, so that they can prevent them from being incited to riot."

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Fusu realized that the purpose of building the Great Wall was not simply to resist the Huns, but also had many economic and political reasons. Moreover, these benefits were not all, and Meng Tian could not see through them.

All the thoughts of Qin Shihuang and his ministers. In his old concept, Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, and his construction of the Great Wall and tombs were all manifestations of his cruelty. Now that he thinks about his various actions, he

Although he was flaunting his suspicions, he was more concerned about the development of Qin State. He couldn't help but have a sense of admiration for this father he had never met. At the same time, he also had feelings for Meng Tian, ​​a famous general in history.

With a new perspective, it turned out that he not only knew how to lead troops in battle, but was also quite knowledgeable in politics.

Fusu, who was leaning on the wall of the carriage and meditating, felt that as soon as the carriage stopped, he knew that he had arrived at the construction site of the Great Wall. After getting out of the carriage, he looked around and saw topless men standing on the broad grassland.

He carried the bluestone bricks several feet square on his shoulders and placed them on the foundation that had already been laid. Then he used something to fix the bluestone bricks. As long as anyone does not try his best,

The whips were applied to them, and they were accompanied by shouts and curses. However, they were like docile lambs and did not resist the whips imposed on them. They just continued their actions. They seemed to

Already paralyzed, both mentally and physically.

Seeing this scene, Fusu couldn't help but frown. He had said many times that the supervisors should treat the laborers kindly, but it seemed that in the eyes of the Qin people, these laborers from other six countries were not human beings.

So I didn't take his instructions to heart.

Seeing Fusu coming at this time, the steward here hurriedly ran over, knelt down in front of him and said, "I have seen the eldest prince."

Fusu just nodded to him and said calmly: "Please show me around. I haven't been here to check for a few days."

The man hurriedly led the way and took Fusu to look at the Great Wall when it was still under construction.

"Xiao Tao, do you believe it? This humble place now will be a miracle in the world in the future. Once people unite to do something, their power will be great. It will stretch for thousands of miles and tower into the clouds."

Fusu looked at the laborers working hard at the scene and said to Xiao Tao who was following him with emotion.

Xiao Tao blinked her big eyes and said with a smile: "As long as Prince Fusu says it, Xiao Tao will believe it."

Fusu was immediately amused by her words: "Haha, I am not a god, nor will everything I say is true."

While chatting and laughing, the two walked to the foundation of a section of the Great Wall where bluestone bricks were being laid. There were also several hard laborers here who were carrying huge stones up. They were all panting from exhaustion. Apparently each stone weighed hundreds of kilograms.

Chong. When these hard laborers saw Fusu coming, they worked even harder. They could see that the man who made the stewards here so fawning must be a high-ranking official of Qin, but they had no energy to hate him at all.

I just know how to work.

Looking at the sweat-soaked hard labor, the laughter and chatter between the two of them disappeared. Fusu looked at them for a long time, and finally he could only sigh and said: "Give them more rations today, and don't deduct their rations in the future."

The steward only agreed.

"There's only so much I can do to help them, hey." Looking at them, Fusu's mood suddenly became not very good. Xiao Tao on the side also felt this change and didn't dare to be casual around him.

Speak.

At this time, a thin man next to Fusu suddenly slipped, and the bricks on his shoulders pressed down, making him unable to move. When a supervisor on the side saw this scene, he wiped the floor.

He whipped him and said, "Why do you want to die? Why don't you get up and continue working." After that, he whipped me again.

Fusu saw it and shouted: "Stop!", then stepped forward and tried the brick. He found that it was quite heavy, but he could still move it by himself. Without any consciousness of being a prince, Fusu just

He personally lifted up the huge brick and said to the man: "You can come out with a little force."

The guards behind saw him and hurriedly ran forward to help Su. At this moment, his elbows and armpits suddenly appeared, and the man who had been pressed by the bricks and couldn't move suddenly emerged from under the bricks like a spirit fox. At the same time,

A blue light flashed in his hand, and he stabbed Fusu's chest.

At this time, Fusu's hands were resting on the bricks. It was too late to resist. He had to dodge to the left, avoiding the vital parts of his chest and heart. The dagger in the man's hand plunged into Fusu's right side.

On his shoulder, Fusu gave a loud shout, and the force of lifting his hands upward turned into a downward thrust. Before the man could leave the range of the huge masonry, his right foot was smashed off. Only then did Fusu feel

When his right shoulder was hit, he felt numbness instead of burning pain. He knew that the dagger was poisoned.

Although it sounds slow, it all happened in the blink of an eye. At this time, the guards rushed to Fusu. Everyone was stunned by this scene. Then some people woke up from the shock and pulled out their long swords.

With the sword raised, the man was about to be cut into pieces.

The man calmly looked at the guards who came around him and accepted the killing calmly.

"Wait, I want to live." Fusu said trying hard to keep himself awake.

The guards then changed the weapons that were meant to stab him to surround him, but the assassin's eyes showed a look of contempt: "I don't know how to say anything. I will exchange my life for the support of the eldest prince Qin."

Su’s life can be regarded as earned by me.”

At this moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from a forest hundreds of steps away and rushed towards the assassin, followed immediately by another one, but it was shot towards Fusu. However, this was followed by people who were looking around in panic.

Xiaotao saw it, and she exclaimed: "Prince, be careful!" As she screamed, she threw herself in front of Fusu. She only heard two pops, and both crossbow arrows hit the target. One hit the assassin, and the other hit the small one.

Peach.
