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

What do you mean?

Could it be that the 600,000 corvées...were forced to rebel?

Instantly, Fusu couldn't help but feel a little panicked...

Whether his cheap father died or the world was in chaos, he had the strength to deal with it. But if six hundred thousand corvées rioted in a place so close to Xianyang...

I rub!

"General Wang, what on earth is going on?"

Fusu asked, trying hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

"My Lord, here's what happened. Some time ago, I discovered that there were quite a few more people in this reclamation camp. After learning more about them, I found that they were civilians from the vicinity of Xianyang. In order to earn more money, these civilians registered themselves as corvée laborers in the reclamation camp to help them reclaim the wasteland."

"Just at this time, someone from another place came and said that he wanted to do corvée labor and join us in the land reclamation. I thought this was a good thing. Instead of letting them do it secretly, it would be better to do it directly and openly, so I agreed to it. As a result... within just a few days, the people heard the news and moved. Now there are hundreds of thousands of corvée laborers in the camp!"

"The number of corvées in the camp has now exceeded one million, and there are still a steady stream of people pouring into Xianyang. It was my fault that I didn't investigate and caused the problem. Please punish me, young master!"

Wang Ben felt very guilty.

If I had not agreed to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's request a few days ago, perhaps this incident would not have happened today...

......

At this time, Fusu was dumbfounded...

This is fucking...

"General Wang..."

"That's the big thing you mentioned?"

"????"

Hearing Fusu's words, Wang Ben looked up suddenly.

What the hell… ?

What do you mean?

That's it?

"My Lord, these one million corvées...are they not a big deal?"

"Hoo~!"

At this time, Fusu was relieved...

"I thought it was the 600,000 corvées who rebelled, but there are only 400,000 more corvées. General Wang is too panicked."

"Rebellion?"

"How is this possible? You must be joking. Your reputation as a virtuous man has long been known among the corvée laborers. If someone really rebelled, they would definitely help you deal with it immediately."

"But the food problem alone for the 400,000 forced laborers that were created out of nowhere is..."

Wang Ben was worried.

He knew very well that the imperial court did not have much grain, and the corvée labor in the reclamation camps was provided with food and lodging. Although the imperial court would make a fortune after the autumn harvest, before that, the imperial court still had to advance the food for the corvée laborers.

This amount of food is not a small amount...

And this is not the key point. If there were only 400,000 more people, it would not be a big problem. The key point is that there are still a steady stream of people behind them. This is the crux of the problem!

With the current grain and grass reserves of the imperial court, if another one or two million corvées were to be forced into labor, the court would probably go bankrupt!

However, when Wang Ben expressed this concern, Fusu smiled...

"Hahahahaha, General Wang, it's just food and fodder. Let alone one million corvée laborers, even if there's another million, the imperial court will definitely have more than enough food and fodder!"

Fusu said firmly.

Wang Ben was stunned...

"My Lord, as far as I know, the imperial court's food and fodder... is not sufficient. A lot of food is military rations. My Lord cannot use these food and fodder..."

Obviously, Wang Ben thought that Fusu wanted to mobilize military rations to the Meng army and Baiyue for emergency use, and he became even more anxious.

No matter how hard or difficult it is, the army's rations must not be moved. Once there is a problem with the army and the soldiers go hungry, it will be a big disaster!

"Hahahahahahahaha. General Wang, you worry too much."

Fusu couldn't help but laugh...

At this time, Wang Ben was also stunned when he saw Fusu, who looked confident of victory...

"My Lord, do you have any other solutions?"

Fusu smiled slightly.

"General Wang, do you know that the imperial court has recently sold government bonds to fill the treasury?"

"Master, what you mean is..."

"We have enough money in our imperial treasury. Are you afraid that we won't be able to buy this little grain?"
