Chapter 138 You are different from the King of Qin
They knew that the road ahead was still long and difficult, but as long as they worked together, nothing could stop the progress of Daqin.
As the topic of the imperial examination system came to an end, Fusu and Meng Tian's conversation naturally turned to the current corvee problem in Xianyang.
This topic is also very important to both people who care about their country.
"General Meng, you also know that the construction work of these 60 corvées in Xianyang is an important measure I took after taking over as regent."
Fusu spoke slowly, his eyes revealing his deep thoughts and plans for the country's future.
"I have always believed that the people are the foundation of the country. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the country be truly strong."
After hearing this, Meng Tian couldn't help but nodded in praise.
"Your Highness is right. I have heard about the corvée in Xianyang before, but I didn't expect you to plan it so carefully."
"It is a wise move to let these corvées do something in Xianyang, which not only improves the city's construction, but also allows them to earn money."
Fusu smiled slightly, "Actually, this is what I learned from my father."
"He once told me that governing a country is like governing a family. It requires heart and affection."
"Although these corvées are of humble status, they are also the people of the Qin Empire. We should give them due respect and care."
"The prince's benevolent heart is a blessing to the Qin Dynasty." Meng Tian sighed sincerely.
"Back then, the King of Qin also used corvée labor, but the situation then was completely different from today."
"At that time, the corvées lived in poverty and had poor working conditions. Only one in ten survived."
"Now, under the crown prince's governance, these corvées have not only improved their living conditions, but also have hope. This is truly precious."
After hearing this, Fusu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
"General Meng, to be honest, I have an ambition in my heart, which is to make every corner of Daqin enjoy peace and prosperity."
“I know it’s hard, but I’m willing to give it my all.”
After hearing this, Meng Tian's eyes flashed with appreciation and admiration.
"Your ambition is admirable. I believe that under your leadership, Daqin will surely move towards a brighter future."
"The changes in these corvées are a small microcosm of the realization of your ambitions."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with expectations for the future.
They know that the road ahead is still long and difficult, but as long as they work together, nothing can stop them from realizing their ambitions.
At dusk, the golden afterglow shines on every corner of Xianyang City, covering this ancient capital with a golden coat.
Meng Tian stood in front of the general's mansion, gazing into the distance at the horizon, feeling deeply moved.
At this time, he turned to Fusu and said, "Prince, it is getting late. Why don't you stay for dinner and we can continue our conversation."
Fusu listened, smiled slightly, nodded and agreed: "General Meng's kindness is hard to refuse, Fusu would be disrespectful to refuse it."
After that, he turned to Xiao He and Liu Ji behind him and said, "You two, let's have dinner with General Meng tonight and feel the generosity and warmth of the general's mansion together."
Xiao He and Liu Ji looked at each other and both showed delight.
As Fusu's retainers, they had always followed him and were well aware of the young prince's ambitions and talents.
Having the opportunity to have dinner with the world-famous General Meng Tian was undoubtedly a rare experience for them.
The dinner began and the table was filled with fine wine and delicious food.
