"My Lord, if you are serious about what I am saying, then I think there is nothing I can do."

Li Si said with a stiff face: "The Great Qin of today's world was not built in a day or a moment, but a stubborn disease that has existed for many years. If we implement it, it will affect the whole body. The best way is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, wait until the people of the world recognize our Great Qin, and the remnants of the six kingdoms are eliminated, and then slowly make plans..."

The whole place fell into silence...

Everyone looked at Li Si worriedly...

Although Li Si's previous answers sounded perfunctory, this time, although everyone knew that Li Si was telling the truth, the truth was not pleasant to hear!

Fusu, the eldest prince, has just ascended the throne. If I tell him that there is nothing he can do about the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, I'm afraid he won't believe it, right?

Then it will be another charge of deception...

........

The entire Xianyang Palace was in complete silence...

Li Si's eyes were fixed on Fusu.

This was his second attempt.

He was further testing Fusu's talent!

If he can't even judge the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, even if Fusu hides his edge, it is just his character, and his talent is still not enough to take on important tasks...

"Hahahahaha!"

As Li Si stared at Fusu, a hearty laugh rang out in the Xianyang Palace...

Fusu had already stood up from the dragon throne and laughed loudly towards the sky.

“Pah pah pah pah pah….”

After laughing, Fusu clapped his hands directly...

Fusu looked at Li Si with a smile.

"Prime Minister Li is indeed Prime Minister Li. His insights are profound and insightful!"

"Yes, just as Prime Minister Li said, the Qin Dynasty is now in tatters. If we pull one hair out, the whole body will be affected. There is really nothing we can do."

"Then may I ask, Master, what is the significance of your asking this question?"

Li Si was also shocked. He was shocked that this eldest son who was hiding his incompetence in front of him could actually see the situation of the Qin Dynasty clearly!

Although this is not difficult, it is difficult for the person in charge to see things from a different perspective. For a young master of the Qin Dynasty who has always been taught that the Qin Dynasty is invincible and powerful, it is still very difficult to jump out of this circle and look at things from the perspective of an outsider....

"Good question!"

Fusu's expression darkened.

"When I said that the Qin Dynasty was helpless, I was referring to you, oh, and my father. But this does not mean that I am helpless!"

"Oh? I wonder what good plan the eldest master has?"

The corners of Li Si's mouth rose slightly, his face full of teasing.

He didn't pretend anymore. Was he afraid? That depends on the situation!

If you really push me into a corner, I won’t be afraid anymore.

At this moment, Li Si was already a little anxious...

You can say I can do anything, but you can’t say I’m a bad cook!

We can't do it, but you can?

I just want to see how good you are!

At this moment, all the officials looked at Fusu...

.........

In fact, no one thinks Fusu will come up with any good national policy.

If there really was any good way to solve the current problems of Daqin, people like us would have solved it long ago.

Are we court officials mediocre people?

Could it be that all the civil and military officials in the court are not as good as a mere eldest son?

Everyone can understand why the eldest master raised this question at this moment and said that he had found a solution.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office, let alone the regent?

Killing Zhao Gao to establish authority was the first fire, and the second fire was the national policy.

What a pity... After all, the eldest son's vision is still a little narrow. I guess he did come up with a rather clever idea, but because of his narrow vision he didn't see the problem with it. He thought it was perfect so he showed it off, right?

All officials think so...

.........

Facing Li Si's question, Fusu smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Chen Hefeng, who was in charge of household registration among the officials...

"Master Chen, I wonder how many people our Great Qin has now, how many soldiers it has, and how much corvée labor it has?"

In an instant, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court fell on Chen Hefeng.

Chen Hefeng looked confused...

However, after a little hesitation, Chen Hefeng still replied: "My Lord, there are a total of 8 million households in our Great Qin, a total of 20 to 30 million people. There are one million soldiers, 500,000 of which are stationed in the north, 300,000 follow Zhao Tuo to conquer Nanyue in the south, and 100,000 of the remaining 200,000 are stationed near Xianyang, and the rest are scattered around... As for corvée..."

"The total number of corvée laborers was 2.4 million. One million of them were building the Great Wall, 600,000 were transporting supplies to support the army, 300,000 were building the Afang Palace, and the rest were scattered around and could be requisitioned at any time..."

Chen Hefeng gave a brief and clear introduction to the overall population distribution of Daqin...

All the officials looked at Fusu in confusion. They didn't know what this eldest son was up to.

What does this have to do with allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment and this corvee labor?

Does the young master want to reduce corvée labor?

But this won't work. Reducing corvee labor won't solve the problem at all.

The first is the Great Wall. The Great Wall must be built. This is a death order issued by His Majesty.

The second is the logistics of the army, and this part of corvée labor must also accompany the army.

The only thing that can be reduced is the part of the Afang Palace, but these 300,000 people can't play any fundamental role at all...

All the officials looked at Fusu, and under their gazes, Fusu slowly stated his explosive national policy!

.........

"I have a plan that can enrich the country and the people!"

"I wonder what plan the eldest master has?"

Fusu's confidence aroused the curiosity of Right Prime Minister Feng Quji...

"I think we should not repair the Afang Palace for the time being. Bring back 300,000 laborers from the Great Wall, and gather 600,000 people to open up wasteland outside Xianyang!"

"????"

As soon as Fusu said this, the entire Xianyang Palace exploded!

Everyone was stunned...

Six hundred thousand people, farming together?

Are you a fucking weirdo?

"What's wrong with this?"

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Fusu asked.

"My Lord, why do you call this labor of clearing wasteland and cultivating the land?"

"You might as well just let the corvée go back home."

Li Si taunted.

Fusu was not angry, he just laughed.

"Return home? Even if I let them go back home, can they farm at home and support their family members? Can they make our Great Qin treasury full?"

"Why do you think that farming in Xianyang will fill the treasury of the Qin Empire and feed the people who are doing corvée labor?"

"Just because of this thing!"

Fusu threw the leather scroll in front of him in front of Li Si without saying anything.

Li Si picked up the scroll with pride and opened it...

His heart was full of disdain.

We are both farming, but you can grow flowers while farming in Xianyang?

Li Si slowly opened the scroll and glanced at it casually...

Suddenly, Li Si was stunned...

He looked at the scroll in his hand, his eyes full of shock and astonishment...

"this......"
