Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

When it comes to deploying troops and marching into battle, Wang Ben has learned a lot from Wang Jian and is proficient in all of them.

Such a famous general wants to see me?

Li Erniu, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang all couldn't believe it...

Who are you?

Are we worthy of meeting him?

A bunch of peasant farmers meeting a top military figure?

this....

For a moment, everyone was worried...

"You don't need to think too much. Don't you want to do corvée labor? If you want to do corvée labor, you need the general's approval, so I summoned you over. General Wang is easy to talk to, don't be afraid."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other with bitter expressions...

If I had known this earlier, I would have just registered as a member and not done corvée labor…

Although the soldiers were relieved, this was Wang Ben...

Now that things have come to this, I can’t leave even if I want to…

......

In Wang Ben’s military tent.

Li Erniu and his group were brought in soon....

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were a little bolder. After entering the tent, they began to secretly look at Wang Ben. Several of the friends around them knelt down on the ground as soon as they came in, saying that they were here to see the general, but their legs were weak and they couldn't stand up....

In this era of clear status and distinction between superiors and inferiors, when a commoner meets a general who commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the difference in aura is difficult to make up. This is a kind of suppression from within...

"Grass...grass...grass, grass...I am a commoner, paying my respects to the general."

Li Erniu, who was chatting and laughing just now, is now stuttering.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Erniu wanted to slap himself a few times...

Damn it!

What did I say?

Dead dead....

Li Erniu was completely despaired...

Wang Ben frowned, but didn't care. He looked at the others...

"Who among you wants to do corvée?"

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other.

"General, we all want to do corvée labor."

"I hope the General agrees!"

Chen Sheng was different after all. He was a man with a big heart. After a brief shock, he adjusted his mind and there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ben.

Although he was still a little nervous, he kept telling himself that he was going to do great things!

If you want to do great things, how can you be intimidated by the momentum of just one person?

.....

In the blink of an eye.

A few more days passed...

In the wasteland reclamation camp outside Xianyang City, everyone is working hard...

Under Fusu's strong promotion, the first batch of curved plows have been distributed to local areas, and several large water wheels have been built. One water wheel can irrigate countless fertile fields, eliminating the pain of transporting water and freeing up a lot of time for farmers...

At the same time, an unexpected situation occurred in the pioneering camp...

.....

In Wang Ben’s military tent.

Wang Ben's face was filled with sorrow...

Since the day Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were allowed to perform corvée labor, the news spread like wildfire.

Originally, Wang Ben thought that since someone wanted to help the court farm, this was a great thing, so he did not refuse and agreed directly.

As for whether the news was leaked, Wang Ben did not think it mattered much. After all, many people in Xianyang City had already secretly reclaimed the land under the name of the people in the camp. In this case, it would be better to make it public.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Wang Ben's idea, but he missed one point...

Wang Ben underestimated the national conditions of the Qin Dynasty!

If the Qin Dynasty was prosperous and the people were wealthy, even if corvée labor earned a lot, many people would not do corvée labor due to their status. However, the current situation of the Qin Dynasty...

Since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang implemented a series of great policies, such as unifying weights and measures, building highways, building the Great Wall, and building the Afang Palace.

All of these things require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The Qin Dynasty was founded only a short time ago, and the reason why the imperial court was able to accomplish all this was entirely due to the extremely strict Qin laws and management!

Why can the imperial court still barely survive despite so many things?
