Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 492 It's time for us to build a navy!

Kuaiji County, a coastal pier.

Standing on the deck, Hou Sheng watched the comings and goings on the pier, filled with emotion.

Although it has only been more than a year since I went to sea, I have experienced a lot of hardships in this more than a year, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Before going to sea, Hou grew up short and fat.

After returning from the sea, the fat body has already been seen.

The whole face was also tanned by the scorching sun at sea.

But all of this is worth it.

Because Zhao Kun did not lie to him, there are indeed infinite treasures in the sea.

Although it was the first time to go to sea, Hou Sheng almost always listened to Lu Sheng, but two months later, they came to a large deserted island occupied only by 'savages'.

The eyes of the more than five hundred crew members who had just landed on the deserted island were all red.

The deserted island they saw was full of precious spices.

Such things as spices are still scarce even in the country of Qin, which has a vast land and abundant resources.

Totally worthy of the price-to-price gold.

However, talking about these spices, Hou Sheng's heart was full of bitterness.

For them, Hou Sheng actually ordered the killing of more than 2000 aborigines on the island.

Originally, the command was in the hands of Lu Sheng, but Lu Sheng was somewhat indecisive towards the aborigines, which caused the aborigines to harass them continuously.

This made the crew on board aggrieved.

Although most of these crew members are fishermen, they are also from Qin.

Qin people have a kind of reluctance to admit defeat in their bones, how could they allow a group of aborigines to bully them.

Seeing that Lu Sheng could not suppress the anger of the Qin people, Hou Sheng had no choice but to stand up and order to slaughter those aborigines.

Facing the huge wealth at their fingertips, not only Lu and Hou are jealous, but even the crew members are jealous.

When they were prepared, the group of aborigines, who were not much stronger than monkeys, were naturally no match for the crew.

In just half a month, the aborigines on the entire island were slaughtered.

After several months of traveling at sea, the originally simple fishermen on the boat unknowingly turned into fierce seagoers.

When sailing on the sea, they fight against the sky and people, and they do almost everything in order to survive.

But when they returned to their homeland, they laughed again and again, missing their wives and children.

No matter how hard and tiring it is outside, seeing the smiling faces of family members is worth it.

However, there was no smile on Hou Sheng's face.
Because of the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty, Hou Sheng knew better than those ordinary sailors who could not read a single word what he was going to face.

In Daqin, even a fight on the street would result in their noses and feet chopped off.

This time in Nanyang, he killed more than 2000 people.

According to the laws of Qin, this kind of crime is not an exaggeration for the Yi Jiu Clan.

The reason why he didn't meet Zhao Kun with Lu Sheng was not only because he was looking after the goods he brought back, but also because he was afraid of his own punishment.

Today's Hou Sheng pins all his hopes on Lu Sheng. If Zhao Kun reads their credit and treats him extrajudicially, he will absolutely swear to smile at Zhao Kun.

If Zhao Kun is unlawful, he can only make the worst plan and run away again.

But thinking of Zhao Kun's methods, he was very scared.

At this time, in Xianyang Palace.

After Fusu heard Lu Sheng's narration, he immediately called Chen Ping and Meng Yi, two prime ministers.

Originally, Lu Sheng planned to tell Zhao Kun about this matter, but he didn't dare to disturb him again because he thought that Zhao Kun was going to get married soon.

So when Fusu summoned him, he informed Fusu.

After all, Fusu is the king of Qin, the supervisor of the Great Qin.

Moreover, Zhao Kun also asked Lu Sheng to write the previous memorial to Fusu.

Judging from this, the relationship between Fusu and Zhao Kun is very good.

"Although His Majesty has pardoned Lu Hou and his wife for their crime of disrespect, the law is ruthless. Hou Sheng ordered the massacre of 2000 people, according to the law!"

After Chen Ping learned the details, he glanced at Meng Yi and stood up directly.

Before the order to open the sea was issued, the two had argued over this issue.

At that time, Chen Ping's point of view was to directly send troops to the sea to plunder, while Meng Yi felt that he should follow the thought of getting it in a proper way.

Now, when this kind of thing really happened, Chen Ping's thoughts had obviously changed.

When he said this, he just wanted to make fun of Meng Yi, not really wanting to kill Hou Sheng.

"What do you think about this matter?" Fusu asked.

Lu Sheng curled his lips and said: "We have friendly exchanges, but they hurt us first, and they are stubborn. Either they will die or we will die."

Meng Yi sneered: "Those who don't understand etiquette are inhuman. Fan tribe barbarians can be killed!"

"Oh?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows; "So, Prime Minister Meng supports Hou Sheng's innocence?"

"My Great Qin's laws are for the people of Qin!"

Meng Yi said expressionlessly: "The barbarians are ignorant, and the Qin people treat them with courtesy, but they are smeared. The Qin people counterattack, it is justified, what is wrong?"

Hearing this, Fu Su nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his point of view.

In fact, this matter is not as complicated as Hou Sheng thought.

According to the law of Qin, the simplest principle to follow is that one life is exchanged for one life.

From Hou Sheng's point of view, he not only killed people, but also killed more than two thousand people.

But from Fusu's point of view, Hou Sheng was obviously right.

Qin people have a powerful country behind them, so their lives are much more valuable than others.

This kind of thinking exists both in ancient times and in modern times.

The powerful American people, in other countries, always appear to be superior, because behind them there is a powerful American country.

The strength of a country often brings the greatest benefit to the people of the country is self-confidence.

Confidence comes from being strong.

Don't look at the fact that most of the fishermen brought by Lu and Hou are coastal fishermen, but these fishermen are not ordinary fishermen, they are from Qin.

The Qin people unified the six countries, and even looked down on the people of the six countries, so that the people of the six countries could not integrate into this country.

As for the aborigines who climbed trees and picked fruits on the deserted islands in Nanyang, dare to call them human?

It's just a group of wild monkeys.

No matter how many people kill wild monkeys, it will not be a capital crime.

What's more, what they killed were foreigners, and they were not on the territory of Daqin.

When the Huns were still there, the border Qin people were not only innocent of killing the Huns, but they had meritorious service, which was equivalent to military merit.

However, the truth is such a truth, but how to deal with it requires careful consideration.

If Fusu wanted to let this matter go, it would be easy.

For those fishermen who killed people overseas, a direct pardon is just a matter of one sentence.

However, this hole must not be opened.

Because once this opening is opened, it means that Daqin has admitted the existence of private armed forces in disguise.

If the killing of fishermen is declared legal this time, it will certainly stimulate the promotion of the opening of the sea.

But it will also breed the ambitions of some people, which will have a negative impact on the stability that Daqin finally obtained.

After the first emperor unified the world, why did he gather all the weapons of the world in Xianyang to cast twelve golden men?
There may be many reasons, but the main reason is that civilians are not allowed to own weapons.

Weapons also mean chaos.

Daqin needs stability, and certainly does not want chaos.

Although the people of Daqin are living much better than before.

But we cannot condone the occurrence of chaos.

A few years ago, they lived a life where several families shared a kitchen knife.

The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have been wiped out, but no one can guarantee that they will not have the ability to revive.

It is necessary to ensure the safety of the maritime merchants and protect the interests of Daqin. The choice between them is very debatable.

"This matter has to be discussed in the long run!"

Fu Su rubbed his eyebrows and said.

The others were also silent when they heard the words.

Since Fusu supervised the country, many major measures have been launched.

Under the influence of these measures, Daqin is undergoing transformation at an extremely fast speed.

At present, Daqin's domestic market system has been initially established.

The factories on the Guanzhong Plain are producing goods day and night, and then they will be continuously supplied to the whole country.

The commercial road connecting Longxi to the Western Regions has been completed.

Over the past few months, merchants from Daqin have traveled back and forth to the Western Regions, bringing back a large amount of property, and the land silk road has also begun to take shape.

The lives of the people in Daqin have undergone earth-shaking changes unconsciously.

However, new changes will inevitably bring new problems.

Just like this expedition to the sea, although Lu and Hou proved to the Qin people that the sea is a treasure house, new problems are also posing problems for decision makers.

This kind of problem involving the established national policy is very troublesome.

Fusu shook his head with a smile, and said, "It seems that I still have to find Brother Kun!"

On the other side, the Prince's East Palace.

The matter of Fusu going to America was debated in the court for more than half a month, and finally Fusu expressed his thoughts in person.

Although some courtiers disagreed with Fusu, but thinking that Zhao Kun was the prince of this country, all the courtiers could only sigh secretly.

However, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it shows the growth of Fusu Jianguo.

If Fusu has no growth, Shihuang and Zhao Kun will not let him go to America even if he wants to.

Then again, helping Su go to America is also a good thing for this country.

In short, after Fu Su's going to America was finalized, Ying Zheng let Zhao Kun move to the new East Palace.

The New East Palace is not luxurious, but it is unique, a bit like a super large villa.

There are not only swimming pools, gardens, but also various room facilities that do not conform to this era.

After Zhao Kun moved to the East Palace, he had nothing to do except study food and play cards.

At this time, Zhao Kun was playing with Taohua on the train.

"Grumpy"

Dare to finish a game, Zhao Kun's stomach groaned, he threw away the poker cards in his hand, and looked up at Peach Blossom.

"Why aren't you ready for dinner?" Zhao Kun asked Taohua.

Tao Hua hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Everyone is busy, maybe they forgot, if Young Master is hungry, this servant will order someone to make dinner."

"No, I'll go out and have a look first."

Zhao Kun stood up, stretched himself, and then walked out the door.

Several court ladies were sweeping the floor, and several gardeners were trimming the flowers and plants in the yard. The other attendants were either moving or hanging things.

Zhao Kun knew that these were all preparations for his marriage.

After a while, he will marry Wang Ya.

"His Royal Highness."

As soon as he came out, Zhou Kui saw Zhao Kun with a surprised expression.

Others also noticed Zhao Kun, and they all stopped what they were doing at the moment, and saluted Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun nodded slightly, and immediately asked: "The preparations before the wedding should be almost done, right?"

He can't make too much decisions about his own marriage, and that kind of romantic wedding is definitely not possible. After all, he is the prince of Daqin, and the wedding must be solemn and grand.

A wedding that is too out of the ordinary and ahead of its time is definitely not acceptable.

"The decorations of the East Palace are all ready, His Majesty will personally arrange the wedding, and we can't help." Zhou Kui replied respectfully.

"It's okay, you have done a good job, go ahead."

When the others heard Zhao Kun's words, they breathed a sigh of relief, and began to busy themselves with their own affairs, talking and laughing.

"My lord, Brother Zhou has been working very hard these past few days. He has been busy." Taohua glanced at the people in the yard, then at Zhou Kui, and said to Zhao Kun, "I asked for help, but he refused."

"It's not that busy with brothers from the Wu family."

Zhou Kui said with a smile: "It's fine for Miss Peach Blossom to take care of the young master. It will be easier in the future when the crown princess gets married and presides over the daily life of the East Palace."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun almost laughed.

It seems that Zhou Kui doesn't know Wang Ya well enough. If she enters the East Palace, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome. It is absolutely impossible to play the role of a good wife.

However, since Zhou Kui expressed his expectation, it also shows that he has a good impression of Wang Ya. Zhao Kun didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he smiled; "I hope so!"

After saying this, he left the courtyard.

Because the Prince's East Palace is very large, there are many places that need to be decorated, including cleaning the road, wiping the windows and curtains, etc. You can see the busy figures of the palace servants everywhere
Seeing this, Zhao Kun suddenly became interested and wanted to do some activities, so he said to Zhou Kui: "If you need advice, just ask, I can help you."

Hearing this, Zhou Kui smiled and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a notification came from outside the door, saying that Fusu had come.

When Fusu stepped into the East Palace, his brows that were originally furrowed slowly relaxed, revealing a gratified smile.

"Brother Kun, I feel relieved to see you getting married."

Fusu walked up to Zhao Kun and said with a smile.

Zhao Kun looked at Fusu, then at the people behind Fusu, and said with a pout, "Brother, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do!"

"Hahaha, I have encountered a difficult matter and want to talk to you, are you free?"

"No time!"

"Don't make trouble, let's go, let's have a good chat!"

"I'm really not free, Zhou Kui asked me to help just now!" Zhao Kun refused again.

Fusu smiled awkwardly, and turned to look at Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui froze on the spot, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "There was indeed something wrong just now, but it's all right now."

"You brat!" Zhao Kun glared at Zhou Kui bitterly.

Zhou Kui backed away with a smirk.

Taohua wisely went to prepare refreshments.

And Fusu patted Zhao Kun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take elder brother to your East Palace to have a look!"

"Actually, there's nothing to see, it's not as good as your Qin Palace!" Zhao Kun said casually.

Fusu smiled without saying a word, took his shoulders and walked straight forward.

During the walk, he told Zhao Kun about Lu Hou and his wife.

After Zhao Kun heard this, he frowned, and after a while, he said, "It's time for us to build a navy!"
