Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

The news that the imperial court wanted to build the Grand Canal quickly caused a sensation in the entire Xianyang City through the latest issue of Daqin Daily, and spread throughout Daqin at the fastest speed.

Countless people were completely shocked by this huge project.

In teahouses, restaurants, and in front of major public notice boards, countless people looked shocked and whispered among themselves.

"I've long been fed up with the bumpy roads. Last year, I finally managed to grab a carriage of paper and excitedly prepared to transport it to the south for auction. However, it overturned when it rained and I lost all my money!"

A businessman laughed and said:"If the Grand Canal is built, then I can just go down the water leisurely. How comfortable!"

"Yes, in this water transportation, one ship is worth dozens or hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. I heard that His Royal Highness is still studying a taller and larger ship. A large ship can carry hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods!"

"Also, as soon as the Grand Canal is opened and the roads are opened, business opportunities will definitely come rolling in. I can make money just by selling anything, haha!"

The rest of the businessmen also nodded in agreement.

Of course, it's not that everyone doesn't understand.

"This waterway has not been the mainstream since ancient times. In my opinion, the land route is more practical!"

"Yes, cars can capsize when walking on the road in rain or snow, and boats can capsize in rivers when the tide rises!"

"I took a boat ride once, and it was so shaky that I immediately threw up."

"Wouldn't it be better to build a concrete straight road like the one heading to Hanzhong County now? It's fast and stable, and it was passable even when it was freezing last time!"

Someone stood up and questioned

"That person just now, have you ever run a long distance?"

"This cement road is good, but when you encounter the mountains, it will be difficult for your carriage to move."

"Moreover, for land transportation, although horse-drawn carriages are more convenient for short distances, water transportation is faster for long distances and can load more goods at one time."

"And your rising tide is precisely because there is no place to divert it. Once the Grand Canal is built, countless water systems will be connected together. If they are shared, it will be safer and thousands of miles of fertile farmland will be added."

A Mohist disciple stood up and retorted.

Due to the fact that Prince Fusu's Mansion recruits talented people from all over the world, now basically all the elite disciples from hundreds of schools have gathered in Xianyang City. Many of them have joined the vigorous construction of Da Qin, and their vision has gained. It opened up a great deal.

Among the three major factions of the Mohist family, there were many supporters of Fusu.

"I don’t think it’s possible. This project seems to be just a boast. If it is really built, I don’t know how many lives will be involved!"

A disciple dressed as Confucian jumped out and said

"This guy couldn't have come from some ravine, right?"

"Our country, Great Qin, has long since abolished corvee labor and replaced it with hired labor. Furthermore, we use prisoners of war from foreign races to reach dangerous areas. How could it cost the lives of the people of our Great Qin?"

"The newspaper also said that this time the reclamation of the Grand Canal will be mainly done by alien coolies."

The rest of the people immediately looked at this Confucian disciple with strange eyes and said

"Isn't the fate of aliens not fate? They are human beings too!"

The Confucian disciples were unconvinced and retorted loudly.

"Oh, I can’t tell that this guy still has the potential to become what His Highness the Crown Prince calls Qin’s traitor!"

"The life of a foreign race is also a life, bah!"

"When the foreign tribes burned, killed and plundered our people in Da Qin, why didn't you defend our people in Da Qin and go to the front line to kill the enemy and defend our people in Da Qin?"

"Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has finally won a great victory, it is very merciful to let these foreign races build roads and bridges for our Daqin and spare their lives. You actually feel that you can't bear to come for them."

"If we don’t need to use the lives of foreigners to fill it, should we use the lives of our people in Great Qin to fill it?"

"Everyone, tell me, does this guy deserve to be a Daqin man?"

"I can't stand it anymore, I'll beat him up!"

The people on the side immediately responded and began to beat up the Confucian disciple.

Lao Qin had always been martial and masculine. Even a scholar would practice swordsmanship and archery. When the imperial court called him to defend the border, he never flinched. He looked down upon him the most. Yes, this is the kind of person who reads stupidly and eats the inside and outside.

Even the official patrolling the city, after learning the reason, pretended not to see it and walked away.

If they hadn't been in public clothes at the moment, it would be inconvenient , I want to follow him and kick him.

The reaction of ordinary people is simpler.

Although they are illiterate, they can clearly distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong.

His Royal Highness, Fusu, has always been very good to the people and implemented many benevolent policies.

The people admire Fusu extremely, and they will support whatever Fusu proposes.

Moreover, although Daqin has a lot of world, it is mainly dominated by mountains and dry fields.

And the Grand Canal has been built, and both sides will directly become the most important. Good paddy fields, this alone is enough to make the people look forward to it. Not to mention that they do not need to do corvee, even if they have to do corvee as before, the people are willing to do it!

Scholars also began to fall into deep thought. Among them.

These days, due to the contention of a hundred schools of thought, there are already many direct exchanges between scholars, and their minds are more open.

Although the Legalist family was once the dominant one in the court, with the rise of Fusu, it soon gained Improvement.

Young students have also begun to respond to Fusu's request. They are not limited to one family's opinions, but should work hard to think about what is the most beneficial theory for the Qin Dynasty?

Especially businessmen and merchants who were originally regarded as lowly and greedy for profit. The performance is like a heavy hammer, hitting the minds of many scholars.

It turns out that reality is not completely consistent with what is described in the books of the sages, or even completely deviates from it.

It turns out that the world is actually so big and competitive. It's so cruel.

It turns out that knowledge has so many subjects, especially engineering, and it can bring so many contributions to Daqin!

While the students were confused, they also began to conduct more research under Fusu's guidance. think and try......

"Father, you see, the people of Xianyang City are still very supportive of the imperial policy."

In a private room on the top floor of a restaurant, Fusu looked at Ying Zheng, who was also wearing casual clothes, and said with a smile on his face.

"This is all because of you, Fusu!"

"In terms of people's hearts, my father is really not as good as you."

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.

In the past, he had never left the palace for private visits.

However, at that time, although Xianyang City was still lively, there were few smiles on the faces of people inside and outside.

Although I can't say I oppose the imperial court, I don't necessarily approve of it.

This is still the core capital of Old Qin, and the recognition of the imperial court in other places is even lower.

Every time Da Qin wants to start a big project, although it is for the good of Da Qin, However, the people are full of complaints and the words of tyrants are endless.

Otherwise, Ying Zheng would not need to go out to inspect Xianyang City every two or three years.

But now, in Xianyang City, although the people are busier than before, their pace is They are all faster, but their faces are filled with smiles of joy.

The court is going to start a big project, and the people are happier than renovating their own homes.

The recognition of Da Qin is absolutely unprecedented.

How can this make Why is Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, not excited?

Ying Zheng happily took the wine from Fu Su and drank it in one gulp. Then he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The material of this cup was a bit unusual!
