Xianyang City, Imperial Palace.

Nestern was in the court with great interest, reporting on the preparations for the Grand Canal.

Ever since Gongshuyue was named the General's Young Master and the news about the fifth doctor came out, all the craftsmen in the entire Qin Dynasty have seen the hope of progress. They are all very motivated and want to split one day into two days.

Under this circumstance, the exploration work of the Grand Canal went very smoothly and progressed rapidly.

Moreover, private businessmen are also highly motivated. In a short period of time, tens of millions of funds have been raised, which is enough for start-up costs.

"In general, construction of the Grand Canal can officially start as soon as the personnel are in place."

After Nei Shiteng finished speaking, he glanced at Fusu.

After all, using prisoners of war from the Maurya Dynasty as coolies on the Grand Canal was proposed by Fusu.

"Is there any news from Donghu?"

The First Emperor asked.

"None yet!

Wang Jian hesitated and said,"How about we second some workers from other projects and start the project first?""

The eyes of the important officials in the court suddenly showed a strange look.

Although Wang Jian did not say it clearly, the courtiers knew very well that Wang Jian was worried that the Mauryan prisoners of war promised by the Donghu people might not arrive as scheduled.

Thinking on the bright side, In this heavy snow disaster, Donghu suffered more damage than Daqin. It is understandable that the Maurya Dynasty cannot be destroyed for a while, so just wait.

And thinking about the worst, Daqin is still closer to Donghu than Daqin. It's too far. As far away as Donghu Great Khan Tuobasu, he may have new ideas.

After all, the grassland aliens have always been untrustworthy, and they might betray them again.

But in any case, this kind of thing happened in Fusu Everyone felt a little weird about his body.

It seemed that the aura that was originally so glorious had become less dazzling.

Many people even breathed a sigh of relief and secretly took a look at Fusu.

It turned out that His Highness the Crown Prince was not So mythical!

Doesn’t that mean that some things can require more conditions?

The atmosphere above the court became a little strange for a moment.

After all, the various reforms implemented by Fusu, although for the entire Great Qin, were It is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing for these people in the court.

Although they have more or less enjoyed the big cake of commercial development, if they want to be as domineering as before, they will no longer It's possible.

Especially Fusu's universal education plan and the three-tier official education system have really affected the core interests of the powerful.

Although they dare not go against Fusu because of this, they can use it as a stumbling block to gain more benefits. , I still started to have thoughts.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just go ahead as the captain said?"

Even Meng Yi, who supported Fusu the most, couldn't help but lose his temper. Ying Zheng also looked at Fusu, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Naturally, the changes in the expressions of the courtiers could not be hidden from Ying Zheng. The First Emperor who controlled the Qin Dynasty for many years

"Don't worry, there will be news soon."

Fusu smiled and waved his hand.

"But if the construction period is delayed because of this, I’m afraid that’s not a good idea, right?"

"According to Chen's advice, hire workers first, which means spending more money."

"Didn’t His Highness the Prince once say that time cannot be measured by money?"

An official dressed as a doctor cupped his fists and said.

Fusu glanced at him. It turned out to be Ying He, who had also served as the general's young master. No wonder he looked resentful towards him.

Fusu smiled noncommittally, and Ying Zheng beside him had a look on his face. It has already sunk.

However, this Yinghe is a hereditary Guannei Marquis. His ancestors have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, and he is also a member of the clan. Yingzheng can't get too angry for a while.

The atmosphere in the court suddenly changed. Even weirder

"Your Majesty, please report to the county urgently!"

Just when Ying Zheng was about to end the court meeting, Zhang Han walked in quickly holding a document.

The eyes of Ying Zheng and the courtiers were instantly attracted.

Many people's hearts were raised.

Although The prairie has gradually come under the control of Great Qin, but the administrative office is still in Shangjun. Now an urgent report comes from Shangjun. Could it be that something has happened on the grassland?

Could it be that the Donghu people are really dishonest?

"Read quickly!"

Even Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.

Although Donghu now does not pose much of a threat to Da Qin.

But if something happens, it will affect Fusu's image as the God of War and the prestige of the prince. A blow.

If someone with ulterior motives is behind it again, there will be another setback.

Although Ying Zheng is not afraid of challenges, he is extremely disgusted with this kind of internal stumbling.

I hope it is good news.

Ying Zheng Thinking silently in my heart

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian is here to report that the Donghu tribe set out half a month later than expected due to road closures due to snowstorms. Now they have just entered the Mauryan Dynasty area and captured two small cities."

"There are already 100,000 prisoners on their way to Shangjun, all of them young and strong men!"

Ying Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Meng Yi and other courtiers who supported Fusu all had smiles on their faces.

Although it came a little later than expected, the good news was finally delivered.

One hundred thousand young people, It was enough to start the Grand Canal project.

Later, as Donghu built more Maurya dynasty cities, there must be more and more young people.

And the construction of the Grand Canal must also be faster and faster.

You know, Fusu was When negotiating with the great elder Donghu, a young man could give the Turks only fifty yuan.

Compared with the wages of one penny a day for hired workers, it was extremely cheap.

And he didn’t need to be as wealthy as his own people. It is definitely cheap and easy to use for all kinds of scruples, need for rest, etc.

However, this report also allowed them to once again see the huge population of the Maurya Dynasty.

In just one city, there are 50,000 young people.

Nimbus population , this Maurya Dynasty is no less inferior to Great Qin!

But now, it has become the source of coolies for Great Qin

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"The Grand Canal is completed and there are no obstacles anymore!"

"Once the Grand Canal is completed, the Donghu people will probably bring about the most harm to the Peacock Kingdom!"

"By then, our Great Qin will also have enough troops and food, just in time to take down the Peacock Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

"According to His Highness the Crown Prince, this Peacock Kingdom has countless fertile fields and thousands of miles of fertile fields, haha!"

Meng Yi and others quickly congratulated.

Ying Zheng also waved his hands with a smile on his face.

However, there was still a hint of coldness in the corners of his eyes.
