Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

The women looked at each other in disbelief. But the hoof trimmer's honesty persuaded them to stop questioning. After all, even the hoof trimmer was serving them.

"We will continue to repair it. The ten coins are still there." Zheng

Worried that this guy would drop the fishing rod and run away, ** quickly gave orders and chased after him.

Lin Wan'er walked to the wooden barrel and took a closer look. She saw that there was only half a barrel of water in it, without a trace of a fish, which further confirmed her previous guess.

"You two didn't even catch a single fish?"

"Is this what you call fishing?"

Lin Wan'er said righteously.

"You want fish, don't you?"

"There is a big fish. Let me show it to you."

**He broke off a long branch and went to the hoof trimmer to get some cow dung.

"Huh~"

Lin Wan'er covered her nose and hid aside, "F**k, what do you want to do?"

"Let me show you the fish."

** winked, "Watch carefully."

He stretched the branch into the river, picked up the cow dung on the branch and carefully smeared it on a strange hollow grass.

Whoosh.

A piece of cow dung on the grass tip suddenly disappeared. A moment later, a large string of bubbles emerged from the water.

"Ahem, ouch~"

A wet head suddenly emerged from the water, choking and vomiting.

After recovering, the man was horrified and quickly dived into the water again.

"This is the fish you want."

** said meaningfully.

Standing on the shore, ** looked at the gradually calming water and sighed softly.

When Shang Yang first met Duke Xiao of Qin, he was almost dozing off during his initial presentation. Five days later, during his second audience, Shang Yang discussed the Way of Kings, but the Duke was perfunctory and lacked interest. It wasn't until his third presentation, when he discussed the Way of Hegemony, that the Duke's interest suddenly piqued, and they engaged in a lengthy conversation that lasted several days. From then on, the Duke continued to employ the Way of Hegemony.

Even under the reign of the First Emperor, the powerful Qin swept across the six kingdoms, defeated the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Baiyue in the south, and dominated the four directions! Isn’t such a glorious hegemony worth boasting about?

How could anyone deny the great achievements of the First Emperor without any reason?

The First Emperor angrily criticized his policies for enriching the people, causing dissatisfaction, and even had Heibingtai monitor their conversations with Crown Prince Fusu. At first, they were able to catch fish, but then they became completely unsuccessful. By then, he had noticed something unusual—some strange-looking grass stalks by the river—and immediately understood what was going on.

"**,yes……"

Lin Wan'er looked at the wide river, and only saw a head briefly surfaced from dozens of feet away to take a breath before quickly diving back down.

This person's swimming skills are truly astonishing! With such proficiency, he's most likely from Black Ice Terrace!

"Husband, we misunderstood you."

Zhen Shiqin lowered her head in shame.

While their words might be taken with a grain of salt, the prince was frank and sincere, telling them his two-day itinerary: inspecting the workshop's operations, assessing transportation routes, and planning cement road construction. The two also chatted and laughed with a captive Tuge driver, whom they christened the oddly named "Ade." Dead wood often drifts downstream in the Wei River, blocking waterwheels and causing damage. They witnessed firsthand how Qin craftsmen skillfully rebuilt damaged parts. Li Zuoche proposed improving the laborers' living conditions to enhance their sense of dignity, but due to cost and time constraints, building new houses was impossible. Instead, they visited the laborers' self-built cave dwellings, which were warm in winter and cool in summer, and waterproof.

"You guys... do this every day?"

Lin Wan'er listened to Fusu's explanation patiently and asked in disbelief.

"What else?"

He spread his hands and said, "The Imperial Palace has many affairs to attend to, and I would be disobeying His Majesty's orders if I don't do them myself."

"What about my brother-in-law?"

She turned to Fusu and asked, "Aren't you concentrating on your official duties and going out to have fun?"

The Crown Princess cleared her throat and said, "The Crown Prince is the supervisor, and inspecting the water conservancy project is his job." As long as he doesn't hang out outside, it doesn't matter what he does. She felt guilty and took the initiative to defend her husband.

Lin Wan'er was speechless and pointed at the fishing gear. "Then why did you come here to fish and watch others repair cow hooves?"

"You have so much to manage, you bastard."

"Even petty officials have vacation time, so why should it be strange that the prince and I relax once in a while?"

Lin Wan'er continued to question: "I found a hair on your clothes a few days ago. Where did it come from?"

** scratched his head, "Come here, I'll tell you."

As soon as she got one step closer, she was picked up by him.

"You woman are always looking for trouble. Today I have to enforce the family rules." "See if you still dare to make random guesses. Go and compensate me with this straw!" He pretended to throw her into the river, scaring Lin Wan'er so much that she panicked and struggled.

"Put it down, don't hurt your sister."

** hugged her several times and pretended to be fierce before finally letting her go.

Lin Wan'er took two steps back and wanted to move forward, but she was afraid that the other party would really throw her down.

Fusu was at a loss for words, "Sir, I'll take them back.

 He wandered the market, a plum fish in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, drawing countless envious glances from passersby. The grooms in the distance followed helplessly, sighing inwardly. The emperor hadn't punished him recently, nor had he summoned him. In later times, he would have unhesitatingly posted on WeChat Moments: "Friends, who understands? My boss is being cold and violent towards me. What should I do?" However, in Qin, he could only wait for the emperor to make his own decision.

He was reluctant to return to his residence—the family's nagging was annoying him. So, carrying the plum blossom fish, he crossed half of Xianyang City, following his memory to find Han Xin's home. Around the corner, he heard a cheerful conversation: Old Liu was crossing the street, chatting and laughing with his family. Suddenly, he saw a figure blocking his way, and his smile froze.

"How did you neighbors know I caught a big fish today?" He shook the fish in his hand and asked, "Since we've met, why don't we enjoy it together?"

Old Liu forced a smile and replied, "It's really good, but as you know, I have something else to do at home today."

** was a little disappointed: "Really not coming? We might not be able to finish such a big fish."

Old Liu glanced at him and cautiously reminded him, "There's a new girl named Xianglian in the Han Mansion. I heard you arranged for her to serve Madam Han..."

**Suddenly realizing: "I see! So how is her life going? Does Madam Han blame her?"

Finally, he said goodbye to Old Liu, walked to Han Xin's door, and knocked gently. The puppy in the yard barked a few times. An unfamiliar voice sounded, and the door opened. Xianglian was stunned.

"Xianglian, how are you living here? Where is Mrs. Han?" he asked with a kind smile.

"Master Chen!" Xianglian hurried in to inform everyone. A moment later, Madam Han appeared. The moment she saw him, Madam Han stepped forward and asked with concern, "Uncle, you are here."

"I caught a nice fish and came to trade it for a glass of wine." The fish in his hand shook. Mrs. Han took it and told Xianglian to handle it.

"Where are Han Xin and Zhe'er? Why can't I see them?" he asked, looking around.
